I woke up Saturday morning and attended a conference at church.  On my way home, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few items.  I was meeting a friend, Cecilie, at my house at 2 so I was in a hurry.  When I got home, I reached into the car to pick up one of the bags and pain shot up and down my back.  I couldn’t stand up straight and wasn’t sure how I was going to get into the house.  Slowly I walked into the house pain shooting up my legs with each step.

The pain continued to get worse until I couldn’t even lay down comfortably.  My husband had to help me walk to the restroom and help me get back in bed.  It was probably the most uncomfortable night of my life.  I was crying really hard because the pain was unbearable.  My husband prayed a prayer of healing over me and we went to bed.  To say it was a difficult night would be an understatement. All night, I just kept praying to God and thanking Him for healing me.  Over and over I kept thanking Him for healing me.

The next morning, I got up and my back was extremely tight but the pain wasn’t nearly as bad as it was.  Kind of like someone was pressing my spine together.  I wanted to go to church but wasn’t able to because of the pressure in my back.  I decided that I would watch our church service online instead.

Before the service started, Cecilie sent me a text asking how I was doing. She also let me know that they had prayed for my healing before the church service started.  I thanked her and told her how much I appreciated everyone praying for me.

The service started.  After praise and worship, Pastor Orlando called up a gentleman who said that he had a word from God for the church.  This man talked about people who had pain in their body and how God said He would heal those who came to Him.  Right then, I knew this message was for me.  This was exactly what I was going through.  I received the message I believed that God would heal my back.

A few minutes later, Cecilie sent me a text message telling me about the message of healing that was given.  I told her I had heard it and I received it. By that night, my back was much better. I still had a lot of stiffness and a few pains shooting down my spine occasionally but I knew God had healed my back and this was just residual pain.  By Wednesday night, I had no pain at all.  I was completely healed!

Through Jesus we are healed before we even ask for the healing.  Instead of asking for healing, I believed that I was already healed because Jesus said so.  All we have to do is remember that Jesus has already healed us and believe that He will do what he says. We are healed through the blood of Jesus!
