- [Narrator] In the summer of 2018,

Kathy Hadland underwent surgery

to remove a polyp and part of her colon.

For two years, it gave her no problems,

until one day, in July 2020.

- All of a sudden, I was getting this,

every time I got Up in the morning,

I'd have this terrible pain in my stomach.

And it would linger most of the day.

- [Narrator] The pain was so bad,

Kathy often needed herhusband's assistance

with day to day tasks.

- My husband had to help a lot,

'cause bending over hurt,

lifting anything that waslike a gallon of water

or anything like, it would be painful.

- [Narrator] No matterhow much help she had,

or how careful she tried tobe, Kathy was in constant pain.

- I said, "There's something not right."

- [Narrator] Finally,she went to her doctor,

who told Kathy the procedureshe had had in 2018

had caused what shecalled a surgical hernia.

- A couple years later, thatwhole area became hardened,

and it was very painful.

- [Narrator] And dangerous.

She told Kathy she neededto see a surgeon immediately

to have it evaluated.

- They suggested that I have it repaired

before it became an emergency.

- [Narrator] Soon after,

Kathy went in for outpatient surgery,

and was home the same day.

- By the next morning,when I tried to get up,

it was very painful again.

Trying to sit up hurt a lot.

I had to hold my stomachin to be able to sit up,

and to stand up then.

And I stayed in thatrecliner most of the time.

- [Narrator] By August 4th,four days after surgery,

Kathy was still in constant pain,

despite taking pain medications.

That morning, as usual, Kathystarted her daily prayer time.

- I, you know, just call on Him.

The first thing I say is, "Jesus."

I love being in His presence,

and just hearing what He has to say.

- [Narrator] And like she often does,

she also turned on "The 700 Club."

Pat and Wendy were givingwords of knowledge.

- I think a woman, butyou've had something

with your abdomen,somebody, it may have been

that you've had a birth thatwas surgery on your abdomen,

something about your abdominal muscles.

Put your hand on your abdomen right now,

in the name of Jesus, touch them.

Thank you, lord.

- When he said that, I justfelt such a peace come over me,

and I, the pain startedto subside right away.

And by the next morning,it was so much better.

- [Narrator] Since then,Kathy has been pain-free,

and life has returned to normal.

- God is just wonderful.

It's like, you know, it just reminded me

all I need is one word from God sometimes,

for the miracle to happen.
