Healed immediately

Luke 8:47 says, “And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.”

About an hour or so ago, my wife picked up our 40 lb. son and he jerked his body in mid air while she was holding him up and she suddenly felt  and heard a ‘popping’ sound in her lower back. She went immediately to the couch to sit expressing how much it hurt. She could not sit straight and was locked in position in pain. She said it felt like a pinched nerve and could feel it up and down her leg.

I could have easily responded in emotion, but decided to continue finishing washing my first load of laundry. I remembered when the people told Jesus about Lazarus’s death and the Lord waited a two more days, John 11:6. Faith does not hinge on emotion, but on the revelatory truth of the Word. If I believe this then I should live in this reality daily.

So, I put my clothes in the dryer. I then called our two sons over and told them to stand and pray. The gospels talk about standing a praying. So, we three did. We all laid our hands on my wife. Then we prayed. I commanded her muscles, ligaments, tendons, tissue and every cell in her body to be made whole and to obey the word. My sons agreed with me. My elder son said, “In Jesus name. Amen.” I stayed in prayer, but was aware he just moved in faith and waited. Then my wife said, “I feel something like bubbles in my lower back.” I said, “Let’s pray some more. First let me go put up the dog.” The dog was becoming somewhat of a distraction so I put her in her kennel crate. Afterwards, the boys and I prayed again. This time my elder son said, “I see Moma’s back. It’s better.” He said he saw bubbles going down her back. Each time we prayed I asked her to move a little more and she did. She said she was already feeling better. So, I said let’s pray one more time and make sure you are completely healed. So, we prayed again. I said, “I speak wholeness and peace to this body. This body is a temple of the Spirit of God. Thank you Lord.” She then said, “It’s all gone. I’m healed.”

This was a miracle. She seriously injured her back and could have been out of comission for a few days to a week or more. Instead, about 5-10 minutes later she was healed completely. My wife said her whole back felt like it aligned itself back up.

Thank you Lord! I believe the above scripture was instantaneous, but this was a relatively quick healing.
