Testimonies of Healing

Last summer, I had a job that required a lot of walking. I also did a fair amount of jogging in my free time.

Recently , during a busy time at work, someone knocked a metal file rack off a counter and onto my hand. It was not an especially heavy object, but the accident occurred in the middle of an already stressful day.

Several months ago on the drive home from church, my youngest daughter and I were talking about what she had learned in Sunday School. She told me that she learned that the things we experience with our physical senses are actually no more real than what we might experience in a dream.

A few years ago, I tripped while carrying my six-month-old daughter down the stairs of our house. The baby flew out of my arms and onto the hard marble floor in the entryway.

One Sunday Morning I woke up feeling a bit ill, but since I was serving at my church that morning, I really thought I needed to be there. I called a friend, who said he would be prepared to substitute for me if necessary, and I immediately felt buoyed by his cheerful support.

Late one afternoon I felt a large and painful lump in the gum area just below one of my teeth. I didn't pay much attention to it at first.

One day another car ran a red light and collided with my car, causing a rollover that appeared fatal to onlookers. Despite the frightening appearance of things, I reached out to God for help.

The author experienced healing when she recognized the spiritual fellowship we all have in Christ.

When at university in South Africa I was an active sportsman, playing on the college basketball team and enjoying a variety of other sports like touch rugby, squash, running, and swimming. But while I loved sports, for years I had a growth on the bottom of one of my feet that caused me pain and discomfort.

In the summer of 1996 I was living at home in North Carolina with my dad. One Friday toward the end of the summer, my then boyfriend caught a ride to see me, and when the weekend was over, I drove him the two hours back to his college in my little green Ford Festiva.
