Healing Power
Tonight I went to a night class that was given by a nearby church and the topic was on healing. I thought it was a class for newcomers about what the church was about and the vision of the church and how to plug yourself into this church. Apparently, I was wrong. But it was a good thing.
As the night went on, I learned a lot of things about the healing power of God and the speaker presented things and made us think in ways that were ‘out of the box’. In the end, he went around and prayed for and healed everybody in the room. I didn’t say anything to anybody, but I had a little surfing accident last weekend and my calf was in pain. If I so much as stood on my tip toes or tried to point my toes up, it would be extremely painful…but I knew the healing power of God was there tonight. All I remember leading up to the moment was me smiling because I had confidence that my pain would not be there after tonight and I was thinking how happy I was going to be in the morning without pain in my leg as I got up for work. I sang in my head the verses to the song:
I love you Lord, and I lift my voice to worship You, O my soul rejoice!
at that instant I felt him touch my forehead and I was on the ground. I wasn’t unconscious but I was peaceful and my body felt tingly.. but maybe that was because I was cold. Anyway, when I stood up… I walked back to my place and I stood up on my toes and no pain! I then raised my toes up and no pain there either! Then i started shaking my ankles and calf and trying to position my ankle in weird positions to flex my calve muscle and I did not feel any pain. I would say I was extremely amazed but that would be slightly inaccurate. I was more amazed at God’s healing power more so than the fact that I got healed.
** Now, I think this must be made of note because I think it is important for you reading and going, “wow, OMG! Miracle! Miracle!” My soreness has not completely gone away as I can feel that it is still tight but my pain is completely gone. It was slightly painful for me to walk because every time I pushed off the ground with my left leg, my calf muscle would contract which shot pain up my leg. That don’t feel anything close to that anymore. I do feel that it is tender and if I massage it, it still is sore. I think God was just taking the pain away that it wouldn’t distract me from everyday tasks and cause me to limp as I walked around work.
God is THE DUDE when it comes to stuff like this. =)
