From the time I was a baby I had a growth problem with my leg. When I was very young I started wearing a brace to hopefully stretch my ligaments to help me walk a little better. Although the stretching of the ligament was not going to grow my bones, it would help my leg somewhat so I wouldn’t walk on my tiptoes. My leg needed to grow , but doctors cannot grow bones so they worked on the tendon.
Well my mom had to exercise my foot all the time and I had to wear a brace to school. The brace went up to my knees and it was very noticeable! So as a child I got all the jokes I could stand. Which we are human and we carry a lot of the bad comments into our adult life and after awhile you believe them.
After some time, I don’t remember my age. My mother just got tired of the braces and exercising my foot so she just quit! So I’m a young child that is growing up walking on my tip toe and not to mention the length wasn’t the same. So I really got the looks and ridicule from all the people in high school.
On January 14, 2012 , like any other day , I got up getting ready to start my day. I knew that there was a revival where Rev. Doran is pastor! I just felt an overwhelming desire to go, which I love to go to church anyways but this was very overwhelming! So I went to church that night! I knew God must have something special and amazing in this service so I was on my way! I never dreamed that I would be the miracle that was so profound that night!
After preaching, there was an alter call , so I went! I always go try to give things to God and to cleanse myself from the message being taught that night! People prayed for a while at the alter and God was moving greatly! Bro. Houseworth asked , “Is there a person here that has a problem with their right leg?” Well, I just raised my hands and said, “I do!” He asked, “What’s wrong with your leg? “ I said, well, my right leg is shorter than the left leg.” I think Bro. Houseworth said, Well, that’s a good problem. So, prayer began and then Bro. Houseworth wanted me to sit in a chair, so I did! A lady laid her hands on my feet and prayer began again! I was enjoying the presence of God when all of the sudden, I here a “ahhhhhh” and people praising God! I knew that something good had happen!!!! Are you ready?
EVERYONE WATCHED MY LEG GROW IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES!!!! IT GREW 2 INCHES OR MORE! I was in shock because of the miracle! It never really came into my spirit till the next morning. I woke up and both feet hit the floor. NO MORE TIPTOEING! I tried to walk like I used to and when I did my right leg would raise up too high!!!There was no need to do that because God gave me new bones! I now walk flat-footed! My bones in my hip do not hurt!! It is truly amazing! Im still in awe!! I DON’T WALK LIKE I USED TO WALK. HE MADE THE DIFFERENCE!!!!
I was chatting with a friend and she said that the man that was at the pool of Bethesda was there for 38 years! Well, I am 39! A baby usually starts walking good after the first year! So, I was healed of an infirmity that I had for 38 years!!
My story goes along so much with this story! When God healed the man , the Lord healed him “wholly” which is body , spirit and soul!! Every since I have received this miracle, I feel like I have been healed entirely, “wholly”.
All the pain from the past and years of emotional abuse from having an infirmity feel erased from my mind! Because humans are cruel and after years of hearing comments when I was young , you really feel like you are not good enough!! Or that you will never be good enough! But praise be to God, I’m healed body soul and spirit now!! God is amazing! I love Him!
