Miracle Restores Immobile Woman’s Movement
For decades, Hope dealt with limited mobility in her left leg after injuring it in a car accident. But when her right hip started locking up, she became almost totally immobile.
“My good leg …was my right leg. That one did all the work. And then all of a sudden one day I couldn’t move it. Very painful. Scary. Because my doctor took an x-ray and he said it was bone on bone.”
Steroid injections helped, but when they wore off, the pain returned.
“I couldn't walk. It just hurt so bad. I couldn't even leave my house, unless I had help from somebody. It was really bad, I would walk and be afraid that at any moment I was going to freeze and I couldn’t put my foot down. Nobody knew it. I didn't tell… it was my pain, my hurt. Nobody knew. It was just me.”
For a year and a half, hope prayed for healing. One day it came while she was watching The 700 Club.
Gordon prayed, “Someone else has problems with your right hip, it’s just not moving properly and it’s very painful and you walk with a limp, God is healing you, he is restoring, he’s making everything new again.”
“I jumped up and I said, ‘that's me! That's me! Heal me, Jesus, please heal me, in Jesus’ name’ and I felt the warmth come in my arm, all the way down. And I was crying and I was crying and just accepting the healing. I knew it. I knew it. I felt it. The pain is all gone and I can go up and down the stairs. And not be afraid that I’m going to freeze right there and not move. I can walk and put one little foot in front of the other and keep going and there's no pain to make me freeze and stop like it did. So – and that's all because of Jesus. He loves us.”
At her next appointment, hope told her doctor she was done with steroid shots.
“I said, ‘because Jesus healed me. I'm walking.’ She just smiled, like I don't know if they believe all that, but, hey, God was there before they were. It's true…God will help anybody that asks because he loves us and he is there to help us. We just have to ask and believe.”
