3 Knees, 1 Shoulder & a Video Call (Part 1)

Thursday, August 10, 2022. It was a fine evening and I was preparing to go out. My phone rang, it was my mum. She said she wanted to do a video call to consult me about some pain in the left shoulder of her foster son. I had been learning and experiencing so much about divine healing in the preceding months (accelerated in the preceding weeks), that the only thought that came to my mind was "minister healing to him!"

Up till this time, I had not experienced any healing via video call (or any kind of call for that matter), but I just knew I was not going to pass up the opportunity by prescribing the expected drugs - unless, of course, for some reason, the healing didn't happen.

It wasn't a very long call. At my mum's prompting, he identified the exact location and duration of the pain (it had been there for three days). I told him he could have the pain gone immediately without any drugs and that, if necessary, I would prescribe drugs for him.

Having reached an understanding, at my prompting, he put his right hand there and I said, "in the name of Jesus, pain be gone now". At least that was the gist of the things I remember saying. I then told him to lift his hands and say, "thank You Jesus, no more pain!"

"Now, check it, see if you can move it without pain", I prompted him. Two or three times, he did this. Two or three times, I spoke those words over his shoulder. Each time, the pain reduced compared to before. Poor reception stopped us from continuing the video call; but I put a voice call through to my mum and told her that she should let me know if he woke up with the pain the next morning; so I could text her a prescription. Afterall, it was me putting my faith in God's Word to work. They didn't reach out to me for that. No need to stretch/stress him because of my exercise of faith, you know?

The next morning, I heard nothing (I didn't call too). Two more days passed and my wife and I decided to pay my parents a Sunday afternoon visit (they live about an hour away). When I saw the boy, what do you think the first thing I asked him was? You guessed right! "How's your shoulder?" His testimony was that he woke up completely pain-free the very next morning after the video call. Halleluyah to Jesus!

That really boosted my faith for the next two healing miracles. I'll tell you about them in part 2 (and 3 if necessary). It appears these testimonies can get really long when put in writing.

I have written this report that you, the new (kainos) creation in Christ, may be reminded of the possibilities and realities that are presently yours; and that, remembering, you may be stirred to walk in them.
