HEALING AFTER HEAVENLY VISITATION
November 2020, I developed some pain in my left shoulder, but didn’t think much of it as I was almost 78 years old. I thought it was probably arthritis and I didn’t want to start taking pain killers. However, it soon became evident that it was much more than arthritis.
In Jan 2021 it had become severe pain with pins and needles tingling down my arm and with intermittent jabs of pain in my thumb, along with numbness. It was unbearable so I knew it was time to see my doctor.
It wasn’t because of a lack of prayer as I had lots of people praying for me including my good friends from the Capital Healing Rooms.
After having many visits to my GP and X-rays, she referred me to a spinal surgeon and an MRI showed there was a thickening of the C4-C5 vertebrae (nerve root) and less on the C6 vertebrae which were pinching the nerve that goes across my left shoulder and down the outer side of my arm right down to the tip of my thumb.
After seeing the MRI, it was evident something had to be done, but what? I only had two alternatives, an operation or steroid injections. I chose the latter, but it took a number of weeks to take effect and then 3months later (now June) it was back worse than ever. There was a lot of prayer for my healing but it wasn’t happening. Okay God, Your ways are not my ways, I knew He would heal me when the time was right. Over the next few months, I learnt a lot about myself and Gods amazing love, and it’s in the waiting we know that we know God is always in control.
In October 2021, one night at dinner I broke into tears and verbalised to God “WHEN IS THIS GOING TO STOP, I CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS PAIN”. I took myself off to bed in pain and in the very early hours of the morning I was laying in my bed with my eyes closed when I felt a ‘presence’ in the room but didn’t think much of it as my husband often gets up very early. I then felt a warm hand holding my feet and a warm feeling in my legs…. then the ‘presence’ moved away. I thought it was my husband and I was waiting for him to get into bed, but to my surprise he was already in bed.
I immediately knew what had happened…I knew I’d had a heavenly visitation and was healed.
Was it an angel or was it Jesus? I knew then that God had answered my cry of despair and I lay there for some time thanking Him for my miraculous healing. I had my eyes closed all the time and afterwards I wondered if I had opened my eyes would I have seen Jesus standing at the end of my bed. What a glorious surprise that would have been.
The next day the pain had completely gone for which I am very thankful to God every day. I’m still in awe of it He could have healed me from heaven but no, He knew I needed His literal presence. He touched my feet.
