Broken Ankle Healed!

An outreach team was recently down at Grady Hospital in Atlanta looking for the sick and injured to pray for. They quickly found a guy with a swollen, nasty ankle sitting on a bench. The team asked him what’s going on with his ankle and he told them that he was held down and beat with a baseball bat. He said that they wanted to put him in a cast because the ankle is fractured, but he wouldn’t let them. He couldn’t put any weight on it whatsoever without excruciating pain and walked out of the hospital with a single crutch, waiting for his girlfriend to pick him up.

The team told him about the Kingdom of God, that there are no crutches and lameness in Heaven. They told him that if heaven touched his ankle, he would be pain free and healed. He allowed the team to pray for him and as they prayed, he said that he didn’t feel anything. One of the team members then recounted a testimony how they were instantly healed of a broken ankle a few years ago. They told him that when they were prayed for, all pain left the ankle and they stamped my foot on the ground, pain free!

You could literally see the faith spring up in his eyes! His face lit up and he hoped off the bench and tapped his foot to the ground. As he did, this CRAZY look came over his face and he began to stamp his foot and busted ankle on the ground. “No pain!” he said. He then began walking up and down the sidewalk, putting all his weight on the foot. He then jumped on it and hollered a bit saying, “NO PAIN!” The team then turned around to the 10-15 people surrounding them and said, “Jesus healed this guy’s ankle!” On cue, the people surrounding them LINE UP and start asking us for healing prayer. All of a sudden, everyone in the group is praying for healings and miracles on the street!

Come on Jesus!
