Back Pain Prevents Retirement Man Hoped For

After more than 20 years of delivering furniture, Carl was left with unbearable back pain. With only temporary reliefs, he prayed for healing so that he could enjoy a pain-free retirement. Read Transcript


Retired furniture mover, 76-year-old Carl Wisniewski,

is back to being active.

Not too long ago, years of heavy lifting at his job

caused him to have chronic back pain.

The more expensive the furniture was,

the heavier it was.

A very severe throbbing was come upon me,

like a flash of light, excruciatingly painful, while I

lay on my back and pray.

Carl took over-the-counter medication and visited

a chiropractor.

But the relief was short lived.

Maybe three or four days later,

you're back at the chiropractor's office again.

That's the way it was.

Carl watched the 700 Club every day

and prayed for his healing.

He also prayed for other viewers along with the hosts.

When you pray for others, it takes your mind off yourself.

And it does something to you inside.

I love to pray.

That's just me.

On July 22, 2016, Carl was watching,

and praying, when he heard a Word of knowledge from Terry.

I'm eating in my recliner, listening intently

to what they're saying on television.

There's someone else.

You have an issue with your back.

It doesn't allow you to actually stand up

straight, a lot of pain in the lower back.

That's-- just lift up now.

God is setting you free from that.

I raised my arm.

I said, that's me, Father.

God, I claim the healing.

When Terry prayed, and as I was getting up off my knees,

the pain was gone, totally gone, subsided completely.

I never had a bit of backache pain since that day.

What could I do, but praise God as best I could?

There were no words to say thank you.

How do you say thank you to God in words?

It's all in here.

It was time for Carl to be healed.

God says I am going to do something for the boy.

That's the way I look at it.

Now pain free, Carl enjoys the retirement he always hoped for.

I enjoy my life more than ever before.

In my 76 years, I have never felt such peace of mind,

and such physical joy.

Now I do my housework, and my artwork,

in great detail and great ease.

No pain.

And I can shovel snow.

I can do anything today.

And the satisfaction, and joy, when you look at your results,

man, that's from God.

Thank you, Father.
