A Foot Healed, Hips Freed, Hope Rekindled Through Prayer

Bodies remember pain, but they also remember relief. Today we walk through a vivid healing story that begins with a simple conviction: when Jesus said lay hands on the sick and they will recover, he meant it. From the temple scene where he overturns tables and heals the blind and the lame, we draw a straight line to modern moments where people stand up, move, and find their pain gone.

You’ll hear how naming a specific condition—foot pain that forced missed work even after a cortisone shot—led to a clear, bold prayer and an immediate test. The woman stands, walks forward, rotates her foot, and realizes the pain has lifted. When she mentions sciatica and hip pain, we keep going. Another prayer, another step of action, and mobility returns with a visible shift in her face. This isn’t theory; it’s faith expressed through practical steps anyone can try: invite, pray in Jesus’ name, move the part that hurt, and watch for change. Along the way we unpack a key insight: symptoms are not God. They matter, but they don’t get the final say.

Our aim is not hype—it’s hope backed by Scripture and compassion. Whether you carry chronic pain, lead a congregation, or just need a reason to believe again, this story offers a simple blueprint for healing ministry: keep the focus on Jesus, speak plainly, expect restoration, and verify with movement. If it helps one person return to work, sleep better, or smile without flinching, it’s worth everything.

And she did.
And I said, now move it around.
And she did.
And the pain was gone.
And she said, I still have asciatica problem, though the

(02:06):
foot problem made it move on up.
And I said, Well, that's comingoff of you now in the name of
Jesus.
You've got perfect hips.
Move them around.
And so she started to do somethings that she couldn't do.
And the delight on her face wasabsolutely gorgeous.
