Praise the LORD for the healing. – I have had a back problem for about 40 years until recently. At its worst point walking more than a few yards was an impossibility. Throughout this time I have been a Christian and have been prayed for several times. As with all back problems it has ebbed and flowed and my mobility would improve for short periods and then revert to being impossible. The 19th July this year was a day when my back was excessively painful, it was also the day of a funeral of an acquaintance. This was a graveside only service, where we could expect to be standing for some time. To offset this I took two folding chairs, one for a friend and one for myself. When we went to the graveside, an elderly lady came who was on crutches and obviously in distress. So I gave her my chair. As we stood there waiting, the pain became so intense that I had to go and lean on the graveyard fence, which fortunately was close by. The LORD sent three people to help me. The first came during the service, whilst I was leaning on the fence to check that I was all right, the second came at the end of the graveside service and carried the folding chairs back to the car. Lastly Afterwards David came to me whilst we were at the wake, and rather than ask a question, he stated, “you have a back problem” and proceeded to lay hands on me and prayed. By the following morning I knew that there was an improvement in my back. Two days later we went on holiday and I walked distances far in excess of anything I had done for years, including some significant hills! In conclusion, I can only say “Thank you Jesus” for sending his people to me on that day, and for healing me from this long standing problem.
