A Walking Miracle

Being born without the ability to walk can create quite a few challenges.  That’s exactly what happened to me.  Born in 1964 with no bones or muscles in my left hip region, doctors told my parents that I’d never be able to walk; x-rays confirmed that.  However, God had another idea.  My parents regularly prayed and spoke the creative power of God’s Holy Word over my body.   The doctors were partially right; I didn’t walk much – I ran!   One thing that the doctor did tell me when I was twelve years old though was not to get too excited because by the time I was twenty I would have crippling artheritis and would be bound to a wheelchair the rest of my life.  Needless to say, the doctor was totally wrong.Throughout the course of my life I have not only walked and run but jumped, skiied, hiked, and played about any sport I wanted to – all with no pain.  I am a walking miracle.  Many doctors have taken several series of x-rays only to stand back amazed because what they witness makes no sense with what the x-rays show.On my 40th birthday I was in church at the River at Tampa Bay; Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne is the pastor.  When I left the service to get in my car, pain like I didn’t even know was possible hit me in my left hip and sent me face-first into the asphalt.  I heard the voice of the devil speak to me and say, “You’ve gone twice past the age that the doctors told you you’d be able to walk and from this day on you’ll never walk again.”  A very long story cut very short:  The devil is a liar.  I stood on the Word of God, enduring a month of excruciating pain while speaking the Word over my body.  Then in another service at the River at Tampa Bay, Pastor Rodney felt to have a healing service.  In that service the power of God overcame every attack of Satan on my body and the pain instantly vanished, never to return again to torment me!Jesus is still a healer today and He will heal YOU if you will simply believe His Word.
