Walking from ward to ward laying hands on the sick, broken and dying is one of the best places to stretch your faith for miracles. Our last bed that we were visiting that night had a woman laying in it who had broken her leg (it was in a huge cast). Pointing to the pain, she said, "It hurts me constantly." She then told us how she was heading for surgery in just a couple of days. we began to tell her about Jesus and the love that He has for her, and then asked her if we could pray that God would take the pain away. We mentioned that we had been doing this all evening at the hospital and that many received their miracles in the room before hers. Without us even asking her if she believed God could heal her, she looked up at us and said, "I have the faith to be healed." Powerful words coming from a woman with a full leg cast (foot to thigh).
Praying for her once (believing in what God can do), we asked her to try and do something that she could not do before we prayed. She started moving her leg side to side and even lifting it off of the bed. She kept saying with wide eyes, "I couldn't do this before!! I couldn't do this before!!" She sighed, saying, "Maybe I will be able to sleep tonight." She was feeling an incredible difference, but she still had a little bit of pain. I asked if I could pray once more that the work on her leg would be finished with total healing. After praying a second time, she began moving it around again, but this time, the unexpected happened... "pop-pop-pop" came from the leg. Smiling from ear to ear, she said, "Did you hear that?! Did you hear that?!" Moving her leg with NO PAIN at all, she said, "I KNOW that I will be able to sleep tonight!!"
Thank you, Jesus!
Although, I probably will only ever meet this woman again in heaven, I know that her leg was healed and that somewhere in South Africa, there is a very confused doctor cancelling a surgery right now.
