IT WAS APRIL.

AND I TOOK MY FIRST SPRING

BIKE RIDE WITH MY LITTLE

DOG, SOPHIE.

WE WENT AROUND THE BLOCK

THREE OR FOUR TIMES.

CAME BACK IN, AND THE NEXT

MORNING, SWELLING STARTED

INCREASING.

THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN

PAIN.

IT WAS APPROXIMATELY

TWICE THE SIZE IT SHOULD

BE.

THERE WAS A LOT OF

INFLAMMATION AND REDNESS.

AS A NURSE, I WAS VERY

CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

JOE HAS A HISTORY OF

CELLULITIS, WHERE THE

TISSUES SWELL.

THERE IS A LOT OF REDNESS.

THERE IS A LOT OF TIMES IT

IS HOT TO THE TOUCH.

SYMPTOMS KEPT SEEMING

LIKE IT WAS GETTING WORSE.

I FE FELT LIKE THERE WAS A

BAND AROUND MY FOOT, CUTTING

OFF THE CIRCULATION.

I WENT INTO THE KITCHEN.

I WAS PRAYING INSIDE OF

MYSELF, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

WHICH PHYSICIAN SHOULD WE GO

TO, AND WHAT COURSE OF

ACTION.

AND I TURNED ON "THE 700

CLUB," WHICH IS KIND OF MY

PRACTICE WHEN I FIX SUPPER,

AND PAT ROBERTSON WAS

PRAYING FOR PEOPLE.

Pat: SOMEBODY HAS A

SWOLLEN FOOT.

THE SWELLING IS LOOK A

BANDAGE WRAPPED AROUND IT.

GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW

IN JESUS' NAME.

HE DESCRIBED THE SYMPTOMS

SO ACCURATELY.

AND MY WIFE YELLED FROM THE

KITCHEN, JOE, CLAIM THAT.

I SAID I AM, BABY.

THE NEXT MORNING, THE

SWELLING STARTED TO GO

DOWN.

THE PAIN HAD GONE DOWN.

AND THE FEVER HAD LEFT ME.

AND THE REDNESS STARTED TO

GO AWAY.

IT TOOK ABOUT TWO, THREE

DAYS FOR IT TO HAPPEN.

BUT WHEN PAT GAVE THAT

SPECIAL WORD, IT STARTED THE

BREAKTHROUGH AND STARTED THE

HEALING PRACTICE.

I'M SO GRATEFUL.

GOD CHANGES THE

SITUATION.

GOD IS ALL POWERFUL.

GOD IS ALL CARING.

GOD MEETS OUR NEEDS AND HE

INTERVENES.

I CAN DO THE THINGS OF

WHAT A NORMAL PERSON CAN DO

NOW.

WHEREAS BEFORE, IT WAS VERY

DIFFICULT, VERY PAINFUL, AND

I HAD TO, MOST OF THE TIME,

KEEP MY FEET UP.

IT IS A LITTLE

REAFFIRMATION THAT HE LOVES

US AND HE WANTS TO TAKE CARE

OF US.

AND, OF COURSE, IF GOD

DID IT TO ME, HE'LL BE ABLE

TO DO IT FOR OTHERS, ALSO.
