Wrist Healed In Supermarket!

A family in our church had just come from a movie and was heading to the supermarket to pick a few things up before going home. In the check out line was an older gentleman with a wrist brace on. They asked him what was wrong, knowing that whatever it was, Jesus could heal it. The gentleman said that he sprained his wrist a while ago, and since then it has always hurt.

They asked him to rate the pain on a scale of 0-10, 10 being extreme pain and 0 being no pain whatsoever. He said it was about a seven. They explained to him that they have been seeing many miraculous healings, and asked if they could pray for him. He was quite reluctant, seeing as he was trying to work, but nonetheless agreed. They prayed for about 30 seconds and then asked him if he felt a change in his wrist. He said it was “hot and tingly”, and the pain was not as intense. He then rated the pain at a 3. They prayed again and asked him how his wrist felt. This time he got a very surprised look on his face and said that all the pain was gone!

He kept moving his wrist around because he was so surprised, and then he proceeded to take off his brace and continue working.

Broken Ankle Healed!

A family in our church headed out to the supermarket to get some ice cream. As they were walking out the door, a girl was hobbling in with a big brace on her ankle. They asked her what was wrong with her ankle and found out that she had broken it two weeks prior. They told her about the awesome miracles that we’ve been seeing lately and asked her if they could rpay for her. She quickly agreed.

They asked her to rate the pain from 1 to 10, with ten being extreme pain and 0 being no pain. The young lady rated it at an 8 or 9. They laid hands on the ankle and prayed for about a minute. After a minute, they asked her to check it and rate the pain again. She said it was getting really hot and rated the pain at a 3 or 4.

They prayed one more time and she remarked about how hot it was getting. She started walking back and forth and said, “Wow! It doesn’t hurt anymore!” They asked her to try walking without the brace and she reluctantly agreed. She took the brace off and started walking very gently but then realized that all the pain was gone! So she started walking back and forth, doing random little things to test her ankle, and she was able to do everything she tried!

Baby Raised From The Dead!

A house mommy in the church received a call from her brother and sister in law, inviting her into the delivery room for the birth of their first baby. As the baby was crowning, the nurses told her brother that the Doctor was delayed and the nurse would have to deliver the baby. The nurse was concerned because she had never before delivered a baby.

As the baby’s head came out, they saw that the cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck. The nurse went to put her finger under the cord so that she could cut it and could not even get her finger under there as it was wrapped twice around her neck and was very tight. She finally was able to cut the cord off and she pulled the baby out. The baby was completely purple and gray and totally lifeless, not breathing at all. The nurse turned to our mommy and her brother and said “she is not alive”. The baby was pronounced dead on arrival.

The nurse took the baby over to a table in the room and hooked her up to some oxygen and began to try to revive her, but then looked again and said, "It's no use, she is gone. She is dead." Our mommy walked over behind the table and reached her finger in and touched the baby. She said, "In Jesus Name, I speak life to you, you will live in Jesus name." Immediately the baby jerked her head back and looked over at her and smiled! The nurses and Doctor who had just come in stood there in complete shock and said, "She was dead, she was not alive, she was not breathing." Our mommy said, "I know but Jesus brought her back to life."

She is home, happy and healthy to this day.

Miraculous Roadside Recovery!

A teenager in our church was on his way to fill out a job application. As he was driving, he saw on the side of a busy highway a young man pushing an older woman in a wheelchair. At first he kept driving, but the Holy Spirit sent him back. He turned around, parked in a Baptist Church parking lot and walked towards the older woman on the side of the road.

He asked them why she was in a wheelchair and she told him that she had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. She also had severe rheumatoid arthritis in her legs and arms that prohibited her from walking. The young man from our church told them that the Lord had sent him there to set her free of her diseases and asked if he could pray. The older lady quickly agreed.

He started to pray for her, commanding the Parkinson’s to go. After I prayed for her, he asked the woman to stand up out of her wheelchair. She stood up and walked 3 steps on the sidewalk and when she did that, her grandson had this surprised look on his face. He said “Grandma, I’ve never seen you walk like this before!” She was still shaking in her arms and legs, so he prayed for her again. After praying for her again, he looked at her hands and feet. They went from shaking like a fish on dry land, to COMPLETELY still! Her grandson gave her a hug, and then felt her hands and said, “Grandma, your shaking is gone. Your shaking is gone!” Then she said, “I can’t believe this, I’m not shaking anymore!”

They were all astounded that the Lord had been so good to them and started shouting and praising the Lord, right there on the side of the road during rush hour! As our teenager was heading back to his car, he looked behind him and saw Grandma pushing her own wheelchair!
