- I work with developmentallydelayed adults.

I work on the computer.

I write reports.

I go out to care homes.

I see people face-to-face.

I'm a people person, you know,and I like helping people.

- [Narrator] As a social worker,

Joanne has always workedtirelessly to make sure

her clients have what theyneed to live their best life,

even when she wasn't feeling her best.

- I pretty well barrel through anything.

And when it comes to work, Ihave a really good work ethic.

So I hardly let anythingslow me down at work.

- [Narrator] There was one exception.

It was spring of 2013, andshe had started using a laptop

to do more work from home.

Before long, her right armbegan giving her problems.

- It was extremely painful.

I couldn't lift my armup towards my waist.

I couldn't lift my arm,

my right arm, over myhead or behind my back.

- [Narrator] In the coming days,

Joanne tried her best to barrel

through the pain at work and at home.

- Getting dressed was difficult.

The activities of daily living, cooking,

putting things away in the cabinets

that were above my head, heavy things,

or not even heavy things.

Even a glass was difficult to hold on to.

- [Narrator] Finally,she sought medical advice

a few months later, whenthe pain became unbearable.

- I went to the doctor and she said

that I had a frozen shoulder.

I have some disks in myneck that are degenerating.

She sent me to physical therapy.

- [Narrator] 18 months later...

- I think I was feelingdesperate because I was going

to physical therapy andit wasn't getting better.

I was in a lot of pain.

And I really wanted the pain go away.

- [Narrator] Although Joannehad been praying all along,

she needed God now more than ever.

- I know God heals.

And I know He loves us andI know He wants to heal us.

And so I just, I keptpraying and crying and crying

with the pain and justdoing what I needed to do.

- [Narrator] As a long timepartner of CBN and viewer

of "The 700 Club," Joannenever misses the chance

to hear the praisereports and healing words

of knowledge for others.

- I'm always encouraged by thestories and by the prayers.

And I just think about how,how wonderful they must feel

being healed and getting that healing.

And it encourages me tolook at God in a bigger way.

- [Narrator] On September 18th, 2015,

Joanne received more than encouragement.

It had been two yearssince the pain had started.

- I'm praying for someone that, right now,

just have the sense thatyou've got a neck injury

and it's leading to a severeproblems in your right arm

and nerve damage that'saffecting your ability

to use your right arm.

God's able to heal you.

And your name is Joanne.

I'm calling you by name so you know

this is directly for you.

You're healed.

What you couldn't do before, do it now.

Begin to move that arm.

The muscles are going to be sore.

They're not used to being moved.

Move them now and realizeGod has healed you

and restored you in Jesus' name.

- I started crying andsmiling all at the same time.

Stood up and I just, I stoodup and I put my arms up

in the air and I startedpraising the Lord.

At some point, I think I noticed like, oh,

my arms are over my headand I don't have any pain.

I was healed in that moment.

In that instant, God healed me.

- [Narrator] Joanne hasbeen pain-free ever since,

doing what she does best,

helping people and tellingthem about God's goodness.

- It makes me speechlessthat God did that.

For God to actually call me by name.

That was something so personal.

It's like He singled me out to heal me.
