Lynne fractured her elbow after a fall, and after months of pain, it still wasn't healed. The doctors believed the bone would never heal without surgery, but Lynn felt differently.

On Easter Sunday
2015, Lynn Lucas
fell while stepping
out of her truck.
I ended up bracing
my fall with the arm
and proceeded to fall directly
on the blacktop-- the pavement.
X-rays showed Lynn had minor
fractures in her wrist, elbow,
and forearm, requiring
her to wear a splint
and sling for six
to eight weeks.
That was hard enough.
Being a right handed
individual, all the things
I took for granted I definitely
did not take for granted
anymore.
Then one night, a few weeks
later, Lynn stepped in a hole
in our yard and tripped.
Landing on her injured arm.
I knew I had done more.
Oh, I knew it.
I mean, it was I think snapped.
Afterward, she saw orthopedic
specialist, Michael Wilson.
And this is the radius bone,
which Mrs. Lucas had fractured.
She had broken it
right through here.
Which again, every time you move
your arm, that bone rotates.
So that causes a great
deal of discomfort.
Lynn had to wear a metal
brace that restricted her arm.
Not only did she have to get her
daughter Taylor to help around
the house, but she couldn't
do what she really wanted.
I had a grandson, five
months old at that point.
And just wonderful.
Was not able to hold him.
And that was really tough.
Lynn went for a follow up.
By now it had been three
months since she first felt.
The news was not good.
Most time when you see this
man not healed at three months,
it's not going to heal.
And that's kind of
where she was at.
That's why we had discussions
about doing further treatment,
such as surgery and
replacement of that bone.
Because I do not think
it's going to heal.
But Lynn felt differently,
because she always
believed God would heal her.
Prayed to him
from the beginning
that it would be healed.
Never doubting that it would.
And immediately, I stood up.
And I said, "no, I'm not going
to need an elbow replacement.
Jesus is going to heal me."
At her doctor's
recommendation, she
agreed to meet with the surgeon.
Then a week before
the appointment,
Lynn was watching the 700 Club.
Have faith in God.
Sitting there
with that brace on.
All of a sudden,
Gordon Robertson
starts with the
word of knowledge.
There's someone who has a
very painful right elbow,
you've had a fall,
and it's swollen.
God's healing you.
He's taken away all
that pain, all the chip.
Everything is being
restored right now.
Begin to do what you
couldn't do before.
Begin to move it, and realize
you have no more pain.
You could hear me
probably three blocks away.
I'm praising my Savior,
and shouting it.
Wow, I knew it.
And I took that thing off.
I just took it off.
Boom.
It was done.
Lynn kept the appointment
with the surgeon.
But as Michael explains,
there was no need for surgery.
This x-ray was taken one
month after the initial injury.
And then three months
from this time,
this x-ray demonstrates
complete healing of the bone.
You can see the fracture
here, and the displacement
of the bone.
This bone should
be in the center.
And then three
months later, you see
that the bone has
essentially fully healed,
and it went back to
anatomical alignment.
So she went from this
to this four months
after she initially broke it,
which is very [INAUDIBLE].
With no surgery.
Lynn has had no problems since.
And she's able to do everything
she could do before the injury,
including playing
with her grandson.
To keep up with
him, to run with him,
to know I can lift him
and there's no discomfort.
To be secure in the fact
that he's safe in my arms
is absolutely the icing on
the cake to all of this.
Lynn gives all the credit
for her healing to God.
No matter what you face,
whether it be finance
or physical or personal.
There's nothing he can't handle.
