- [Narrator] At 72 yearsold, Julia Bratcher

is still going strong.

She works in a hospitalcafeteria and loves to cook.

- I make all the salads,parfait cups, fruit cups.

I do baking, I do muffins, I do Danishes.

I have to go in the freezerand get all those products out.

I'm on my feet from the timeI go to work in the morning

until walk out and I likeinteracting with the people

that come in the cafeteria.

It's just a fun place to be.

We all work together as a family.

- [Narrator] But, in early April of 2019,

her left knee started bothering her.

- I had to go buy one knee brace

and I put that on andit got, still got worse,

so I went and bought anotherknee brace and put it on.

And, for over a month I hadto wear both knee braces

in order to do anything.

I could only do my job,come home, take a shower,

lay down and regroup to goback to work for the next day.

That's all I could do.

- [Narrator] Julia's newinsurance didn't start

for three more months,so she wanted to wait

until then to see a doctor, but there was

another reason she put it off.

A few years back, Julia had fluid drawn

from her other knee and she wanted

to avoid repeating thatpainful experience.

- I knew how long the needle was.

It's pretty long.

And knowing I had it done that one time,

I said, Jesus, I don't neverwant to have this done again.

- [Narrator] Julia usedover-the-counter remedies

to deal with the swelling and pain.

- I wouldn't say I was gettin' depressed,

but I was really getting frustrated.

I talked to a girl at work, Lisa.

I would say, Lisa, I'mgonna just trust God

on this, because I really don't want to go

and have this fluid drawn off.

I'm just gonna trust God.

- [Narrator] On Memorial Day that year,

Julia worked a fullshift that left her knee

exceptionally painful and swollen.

As always, when she got home she turned on

The 700 Club to lift her spirits.

- I was just watchin' it like I always do

and Gordon said...

- Someone else withproblems with your left knee

and just incredible fluidbuildup and the knee just

literally doubles in size andyou've gotta get it drained

and God is healing you.

He's just making restorationof that entire joint,

in Jesus name, receive it now.

- And I said, that's for me.

And I laid my hands onmy left knee and I said,

Oh Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,thank you, thank you.

- [Narrator] The painleft and soon the swelling

was gone, as well.

Julia says she hasn't needed pain meds

or a knee brace ever since.

- This has been a goodopportunity to let people know

that Jesus is alive and real today.

After this healing of my left knee,

all I know to say to anybody,

go to the Father and askhim for what you want,

believe it and just trustand it will come to pass.
