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!
