- [Narrator] Gatlinburg,Tennessee local Patty Bryant

stays busy running one of thecountry's largest ministries

for single moms.

But after pressurewashing around the house

one day in July 2018,she felt a shooting pain

in her right shoulder thatwould sideline her for months.

- And I actually couldn'tmove my arm at all.

It was like stiff, I couldn't bend it.

It was very frustrating.

- [Narrator] And livingon a limited income

from the donations to her ministry,

Patty couldn't afford health insurance,

so she felt going to adoctor wasn't an option.

- Different things were happening.

Like the maneuvering ofmy fingers and my hands.

They would drop.

I kinda knew it had todo with my rotator cuff.

I thought it would go away,

and after six months, it didn't go away.

- [Narrator] As the months passed,

Patty was losing her patienceand her independence.

- I don't think I everhad an old mentality,

but when your body is notdoing what it's supposed to do,

like I couldn't get dressed,

like it would take mea while to put this on.

I felt very alone.

There's no doubt aboutthat, I felt very alone.

- [Narrator] Despite herdoubts and frustrations,

Patty still turned to the one person

she knew she could count on.

- I was praying for a total healing

to not just a healingof what I was before,

but what I was many years ago.

I never had any doubts.

God was gonna heal me in time.

I knew he was gonna do something,

I just didn't know when.

- [Narrator] Then one afternoon,

almost 10 months after her injury,

Patty tuned in to The 700Club, where a familiar voice

said something that caught her attention.

- There's somebody inthe state of Tennessee,

I think you've pulled a shoulder muscle,

I don't know who, where, or what,

but I believe God ishealing you right now,

so just raise your armwhere the shoulder muscle

you couldn't work it andwork it back and forth

and you'll be completely healed.

- I got the most amazing peace in my body,

and I knew it was thepresence of the Holy Spirit.

And it's like oh my gosh,I can move my shoulder.

Hallelujah!

And it was instant.

Wow Lord, you're really hearing me,

you're really listening to me.

Thank you, Father.

I called up my friends andthen I called up The 700 Club

I said I just want you to know,

I was the person in Tennessee

and God healed me instantly.

- [Narrator] Today, if you come through

the Gatlinburg mountains,

you'll find Patty painfree and as active as ever.

And when she isn't helping others,

she's pausing to give creditand praise to Jesus Christ.

- I know God brought me herefor such a time as this.

There's no pain.

There's none.

And I couldn't do this,are you kidding me?

And I can move my armaround, and pick things up.

If he can do it for me,he can do it for anybody.
