- [Commentator] As a retiredAir Force family doctor
and Christian, Felicia Wilson understands
there are limits to whatmedical science can do.
And at the beginning of 2019,
she encountered thoselimitations for herself
when a sudden onset of intense pain
in her left knee alteredlife as she knew it.
- Just started swelling out of the blue.
It swelled up so much thatI couldn't bend the knee.
I was walking with a limp.
I couldn't walk up the stairs,
I'd have to bend the good leg
and keep the bad leg straight.
I had no injury, I had no accident,
there was nothing that wouldall of a sudden cause it
to swell up that much.
- [Commentator] Felicia saw an orthopedist
who couldn't find a causefor the flare ups either.
He did what he could, but nothing helped.
- He injected corticalsteroids into the knee
to see if the swelling would go down.
He drained some fluid off of the knee,
see if the swelling would go down.
Took images, the imagesdidn't show anything gross
that he could fix or goin to perform surgery on
so we were watching it and everything
that I tried, nothing worked.
So, I was resigned to the fact
that I don't know why this is happening,
but this is what it is.
I did pray for it.
I prayed for my knee.
I asked God to heal my knee
and I believe in healing.
It just didn't happen,it just didn't happen.
- [Commentator] And the painjust kept getting worse.
- I didn't go for walks,
take my dog for walks.
Even getting in and out of a car,
I would have to get inand then I would have
to physically pull my leg in.
Thanks goodness it was only my left leg,
not my driving leg.
- [Commentator] A fewmonths later in June,
she took a trip to New Mexicofor a friends graduation
from medical residency.
Arriving at the hotelexhausted and in pain,
Felicia turned on thetelevision to pass the time
when she came upon "The 700 Club."
A show she hadn't seen in years.
- Well let's believe.- I started watching
"The 700 Club" and then at the very end
they were ministering to the people
and Gordon was praying and he said-
- Heal.
Someone else you have tendons out of place
in your left knee and God isputting them back into place,
taking all that swelling, all that pain,
all the discomfort away from you right now
in Jesus name, be healed.- I didn't think
it applied to me becauseI didn't necessarily think
this was a tendon problem with my knee
and so immediately afterthe program went off
my knee got really hot.
All night my knee was really hot
and then I noticed in themorning that the swelling
had gone down dramaticallyfrom that nighttime
to the morning and then by the time
that the graduationhappened that next night,
my knee was completely healed.
The swelling had gone down,
there was no pain, the heat had gone away
once the swelling had gone down
and I was able to wearheals to the graduation
and congratulate myfriend and see his family
and other people thatI hadn't seen in years
and it was lovely and Ihaven't had a problem since.
- [Commentator] Soon afterFelicia came home to Alaska,
she told her friends abouther miraculous healing
and grateful heart to the Lord.
- It was wonderful to beseen by the Lord that way
and to have that miraculous healing.
I feel like I'm the apple of His eye.
I feel I'm so blessed in this life.
I feel like I've had such a great life
and there's so much more to come
and God is love and I amhere to love His people
and do whatever I can to help them.
I honestly believe that.
