"The Touch of God's Hand"
a true story



It was a rainy day in South Jersey. My husband and I were at a sister in Christ's home to pick up our Shaklee order of vitiamins. She was a happy and smiley kind of person. You know the kind..Blessed with great faith! She is living proof that JESUS is ALIVE and still in the healing bussiness! She lives in a beautiful Log Cabin home that her wonderful husband built for her. We spent some time chit-chatting and enjoyed each others company. I met Barbara a my church in 1991 when I first met JESUS. She and her husband Bill quick became a dear close friends. We stepped out onto her porch as we talked. It was time for my husband Wayne and I to head home.

It was fall and the weather is very comfortable at that time of the year. I was wearing my flip-flops because it was so nice out. I am not a small woman anymore. I am overweight and seem to struggel constantly with a diet. As we chatted, Wayne and I headed for the steps. He decended the steps first, I followed him. But....as I stepped on the second step with my right foot, I slipped! My left leg got pinned under me and I bounced down all the steps on it with all my weight slamming on that poor leg! When I stopped bouncing, I was on the brick walkway in shock! Barbara and Wayne came quickly to my aid with the most powerful tool in the whole world! PRAYER!!

I sat there on the ground with my leg still under me when they both strated to pray out loud and powerfully with their hands clinched on my shoulders! WOW! As I started to understand what had happened to me...my mouth began to form words..."No GOD! NO!" That was all I remember saying at that moment. I tried to move my leg like I normally would but...it didn't respond. "NO GOD!"...softly I said again. Barbara and Wayne were taking authority over the situation like I had never seen before! I grabbed my leg and pulled it out from under me.
BR> My fear was realized when I saw the the skin was bulging out about 2 inches above my ankel! The skin was twisted and it looked as though the bone was about to pop through the skin!! I looked away quickly and began to pray in Tongues! It felt like a swarm of Bee's were Buzzing around the injured area, it is hard to describe the feeling, but something was going on! The prayer continued for what seemed like forever and then I just stood up. I gathered my things witts as much as possible and began to walk to the car. Wayne and Barbara moved with me a little and then Barbara asked me if I was ok. I responed YES and said I had to go. Wayne nor Barbara said one word about what they saw....that my leg was broken. I know we all saw the same thing, but none of us would say it. I got into the car and sat amazed...wondering how I was able to walk on it! It was silent for a few minutes in the car. We both sat quite as Wayne drove.


I called BARBARA as soon as I got home to tell her what had happened! Her responce was, "I never doubted GOD for a moment!" That's FAITH! I PRAISE the LORD....For HE is worthy to be PRAISED!!!

THAT IS FAITH HEALING AND GOD'S MERCY IN ACTION!!

DEDICATED TO THE HEALING POWER IN THE NAME AND BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST MY SAVIOR!
