NARRATOR: At 81 years
young, Karen Sanders
doesn't let many
things slow her down.
But in March of 2013, Karen
came home after a long walk
and noticed something
wrong with her arm.
Pain went right down my arm.
I said maybe I was
having a heart attack.
NARRATOR: Fortunately it wasn't
but the pain didn't go away.
It hindered me from my
daily chores, you know.
I couldn't hardly lift my
right arm or turn my neck.
And it was getting worst
so I took a pain pill.
And then I took another one
and that eased it off, maybe,
about a half a day.
I said, hey, this has
gone far enough so that's
when I started talking
to the Lord about it,
praying about it.
NARRATOR: About a
month later, Karen
was watching "The 700 Club"
as she did most mornings.
The hosts, Pat and Terry,
were praying for viewers.
Pat was on TV and
he started telling me
about that there's a lady out
there in the audience that's
having such pain in her
shoulder and her neck.
I said, hey, that's for me.
Pat said to put your hand on
your neck and your shoulder.
I did.
Someone has a neck muscle.
It's very sore.
Put your hand on it right
now, the Lord just heals.
You feel it, it's just
like an intense pain.
It's so painful to touch.
Touch it in the name of Jesus.
And that's when the Holy
Spirit came down over me.
I had a warm sensation in
my shoulder and in my neck,
and I said that's
it, I'm healed.
And I cried and I raised
my hands up like that,
praising him, you know.
Tears are rolling down
my eyes and, you know,
I couldn't get over it.
I slept like a newborn
baby that night.
NARRATOR: Karen still
likes taking walks around
her retirement community
and playing board games
with friends.
She also attends
weekly Bible studies
and loves telling people about
the healing power of Jesus.
When he heals somebody,
the pain never comes back.
And that's never came
back, not even once.
If there's something comes in
your life, take it to Jesus
and he'll take care of it.
And you leave it at
the feet of Jesus
and don't go back
and pick it up.
Let him carry
everything for you.
