I was lifting weights and heard a pop in my elbow and have been in pain ever since. Last summer, my pain hit an all-time high and I had to take 2 months off from work.

During this time, I pressed in for healing and really believed the Lord would heal me at the end of the 2 months off. He taught me a lot about intimacy during that time, but He didn’t heal me directly after that. I was sooooo disappointed. But I kept praying and asking the Lord to heal. I went to a doctor who told me my only option was to get surgery. My job was in jeopardy due to the vaccine mandate so we didn’t want to spend money on surgery.

At prayer on Wednesday, someone began to pray about the woman who was bleeding and touched Jesus’ garment and was healed. The Lord told me that she didn’t have a doctor to run to or surgery to help, and I needed to pray like that. So I did. It was one of my most intense times in prayer and I realized how much I run to the world for help instead of the Lord. It didn’t happen right after this, but maybe a month after, I woke up one morning and my pain was completely gone! and it’s stayed gone! He is so good!! He took me to greater levels of faith, which is way more important than my physical healing, and then in His mercy, He healed me anyway! Unbelievable!

Healing in Back / Children Praying | Denisse C. https://www.bridgewaychurch.com/stories/post/healing-in-back---children-praying---deni https://www.bridgewaychurch.com/stories/post/healing-in-back---children-praying---deni#comments Tue, 24 May 2022 15:00:00 -0500 https://www.bridgewaychurch.com/stories/post/healing-in-back---children-praying---deni At the beginning of my third trimester of pregnancy, I developed pain on my left side lower back that often prevented me from walking, standing, and bending down without pain being present. It was terrible. I didn’t know how I was going to make it through the rest of pregnancy while also caring for three toddlers.

About three Sundays ago after service, a few of us were catching up in the lobby and my friend Allison asked me how I was. I mentioned how I had this pain in my lower back left side. She then called her two children along with two other children that were playing in the lobby alongside my middle child and another sister in Christ, Leah. We gathered and we prayed.

I believed in healing but wasn’t sure if it was for me, either way, I trusted and had faith that Jesus could rid me of the pain. A few moments went by and I noticed that I was standing on one side of my body so I felt the need to stand up straight on both my feet. As they were still praying I felt a pop on my back as I stood straight and immediately the Holy Spirit highlighted the scripture where Jesus said "let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

After they got done praying I had no more pain at all! I have been able to walk without pain for weeks and still to this day I stand completely healed with no pain. Praise Jesus for healing!

Healing in Hip | Pam E. https://www.bridgewaychurch.com/stories/post/healing- https://www.bridgewaychurch.com/stories/post/healing-#comments Tue, 24 May 2022 14:00:00 -0500 https://www.bridgewaychurch.com/stories/post/healing- During the prayer time for healing - I joined in to pray for the lady in the blue and white sweater. As she described her need for healing (pain in her right hip), I knew exactly how to pray for her because I have had the very same for almost the past year. The pain has been constant in varying degrees, affecting walking, going up and downstairs, even during sleep. I came to accept it as just a normal process of aging. BUT, after we prayed for Janet, I thought I should have the boldness to ask for them to pray for me too!

It couldn't be a coincidence that we had the same thing. SO - they also prayed for healing the pain in my hip.... afterward, I "tested" it out by making various movements (up, down, twisting, weight on the right side, etc). The young daughter of the physical therapist in our prayer group asked me if I felt anything. I said, the amazing thing is I don't feel anything!! Which was so wonderful NOT to feel any pain.


In the days that followed, I kept wondering if it would come back. It is 9 days later and every day I PRAISE GOD for healing me 100%. It hasn't come back! I am now able to walk up and down the stairs, walk, sleep - without any pain whatsoever.

I try to look for Janet as we come and go to church, I do hope and pray she received her healing too!! God is so good. I always know that when we extend our faith to pray for others, it is an encouragement to increase our faith and to be a part of what God wants to do for them, for us.
