Testimony from Debbie

When I was 7 years old I was diagnosed with osteomylitis – a serious bone disease that attacked my left hip and thigh. I spent many long months in a hospital bed, with raging fevers, hallucinations, and unbearable pain, X-rays showed that the infection had totally destroyed my hip joint and the top half of my femur !

After emergency surgery, 6 months in traction in hospital, and another two lots of surgery the specialists said I’d be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life, be in constant pain and never be able to bear children. After I was discharged from hospital both legs were put in a plaster cast up to my pelvis for 2 years, which had to be changed every 3 months to allow my body to grow.

One night my folks took me to a healing crusade in Pietermaritzburg to be prayed for and they continued praying after we arrived home. Both they and I had a real expectation that God would do something. The presence of God became tangible in our home that night. By faith they took the plaster off – I hadn’t walked in more than two and half years, my legs were like match sticks but I began to walk – and I’ve been walking ever since !

Doctors still today, when they see x-rays of my hip say it’s a total MIRACLE that I can walk. God is a miracle working God.  He is a God of the impossible, when man says it’s impossible God says it’s totally possible, when man says it can’t be done – God says it can & will be done ! Not only did God heal my hip but I now have 3 beautiful children all born naturally! Eph 3:20 has been my scripture ever since  “now to him who is able to do exceedingly , abundantly far above all that I could ask or think or imagine according to the power that is at work within me”  If I can imagine, or dream it  – GOD CAN DO IT ! All glory to Him !

While God healed Debbie and enabled her to walk again and to have a family, she was still left with her left leg approximately 2cm shorter than her right which caused regular hip and back discomfort. On Sunday 29th April her husband Mark encouraged her to ask for prayer for her back to be completely healed. This was a opportunity to trust God again. Debbie came forward, sat in a chair, had her legs measured and compared to each other, and with people watching, her leg immediately grew out the 2cm to normal length and all pain left her back and hip. “The Presence of God was all around me, and I felt heat go through my hip and down my leg” she said as God completed the healing He began all those years ago.

The Lord desires for each and everyone of us that our lives be WHOLE, HEALED, and RESTORED – emotionally, physically and spiritually, with nothing lacking and nothing broken, totally whole from the inside out. I pray that my testimony would encourage & uplift you and you would realize that our precious heavenly Father is a miracle working God able to do far above what you could ask or think
