Dear Apostle Bret, back in December I had Sharon pray for my back; and there has been other times that you and others have prayed for me. I had a car wreck back in July, and even though I went through treatments and therapy I was still experiencing a great deal of pain. Recently it occurred to me that I was’nt in pain. I was so busy starting a new program and all the busyness of the holidays that I have’nt taken time to notice.
Also, last Sunday during worship I asked Jesus to heal my left foot. I’ve had two major surgeries on my left foot where they had to cut out the deep parts of my bones, and fuse toes, and cut bones out of my toe part also, and put screws also in (I don’t know the names of the bones-but when I say (deep part)I mean the bone of the foot that’s attached to the leg and heel.) part of foot,as well as toe section. the first surgery was’nt done right; and my bones were shifting out of joint, and my big toe was crossing the other toe; and the other toe was a hammer toe that was cut and fused and scewered like a shis-cabob, as well as my big toe.
Everyone knows that I could’nt touch my toes to the ground; and I could slide a piece of paper under my toes with my full weight on my foot-(from all the bone loss). I was always in a great deal of pain; and to walk took a great deal of effort. I could’nt use that part of my foot, and my big toe section could’nt help the rest of my foot to walk; -”basically that part of my foot has been out of use for some time.” You can see the callises where all the force went that was very painful and strenuous with every step.”
Last Sunday during worship I asked Jesus to heal my foot, and nobody heard me ask Him; then you said; -”there’s somebody here with a foot problem and the Lord wants to heal your foot.” I knew that was me, and you prayed for me. To be honest, I did’nt get the miracle right then. I went home in a great deal of pain. I went to work that week in alot of pain also. I was grocery shopping on Wednesday, and instead of getting the cart to drive at Wal Mart; I pushed a buggy. I was limping badly and could hardly push the cart; I was in so much pain and agony, and by the time I got home and pulled my orthotic shoe off “my foot was screaming at me!!”
I was talking to Jesus about all the problems I had with my foot; and He spoke to me and said; -”do you believe I can heal your foot?” I said yes Lord, but I have to believe with everything in me and have no doubt (Lord help my un-belief). I then proceeded to tell Him about how He gave me a miracle with my knee; but this would take more than a miracle!-Lord it would take (a creative miracle) like when limbs grow back. I told Him He would have to grow bones and tissue, and turn the bones and align them. It was then that I realized my back has’nt been hurting anymore.
This is Friday January the 8th; and usually when I get out of bed; I sit up on the side and stare at the floor and contemplate the action of walking- then when I step with great difficulty, and walk very loosley and awkwardly to the bathroom. Today I got out of bed normal, and for the first time I’m walking and using that part of my foot! I caught myself walking normal-(like Heidi in the movie when she came out of her wheelchair) I have’nt used that part of my foot in a long time, and it feels funny feeling it help my foot walk. I was walking all over the house in amazement praising the Lord! “I kept saying- I can’t believe it I’m really walking on it!!!
Then I said, “Lord I want to do a test” and I took my sock off and stood on the hard floor of the kitchen and took a piece of paper and tried to run it under my toes(because my toes would’nt touch the ground even with all my weight before) and for the first time the paper would’nt slide under my toes and my toes were all touching the ground!! I have to get orthotic shoes at Valley Birchenstock because I wear the real thick (granny) orthotics, and they have a matt that you stand on that measures the pressure points in your feet and what size you are; my toes on my left foot would’nt even show up or register before, I guess that will be my next test. Not only did my toes not register, but I only had use of half of my foot. Now I feel the whole foot working and coming into alignment. Praise the Lord -”Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is faithful.
