Crippled up then healed

I want to tell you for certain that we do serve a miracle working God that is a Divine Healer. I was 26 years old, was married since age 18, and had two small children, ages 5 and 6. We were Catholic ever since my family originated, because we never thought to search, we just were "spoon-fed" "believers". I started getting very sick, starting with pain and a limp. This condition progressed to the point that I was crippled up and could not breathe, and had no energy, but only extreme pain throughout my body.

My husband was trying to go to school and work and he had to help me and take care of us all. It was very difficult times for us. The climax was when the doctor told me to get my affairs in order because, at age 28, I was going to die and had less than a year to live. He told us not to loose hope because someone might find a cure.

My husband was a film collector and used to show movies to children's groups and churches. He showed the Life of Christ to this little congregation at a Baptist Church. This precious man, whom we call Brother Joe, witnessed to my husband that night and led him to the Lord. He asked us both to come to service that Sunday. He said we should come up to the altar for prayer. When we walked in that day, he motioned for us to sit with him. They were singing "I Surrender All".

Something moved in my heart and the tears started to flow. I never heard the song before, but I was singing the words. I raised my hands, and I felt a hand reach inside of me, I jerked, because that "hand" ripped the sickness out of me! I heard a sound like contact paper being spread apart. I screamed and I was crying. My husband said I get too emotional and he wasn't going to bring me anymore. But I knew I was not sick any more. I didn't know to say I was healed. At Columbia Hospital on record my healing is recorded! The doctor, after treating me for the flu two months later, said."Well, we either treated you wrong for two years or you got a miracle! We got a Miracle! Praise the Lord
