Getting Crafty with Her Healing
Linda Ingram, a military veteran and retired teacher, loves travelling with her husband to craft fairs in her family camper. She shares her passions with us about her hobby. “I do a lot of crocheting. I've got a couple of craft fairs that I do during the year. I have made pillow covers and blankets. I also do some woodworking and make ornaments.”
In the summer of 2021, she started having sciatica, causing pain in her hip and leg. “It limited my ability to do things, you know, my normal daily routine, it really affected it,” she explains. Despite taking over the counter medications, the pain only got worse. “It got so bad where I was crying several times a week.” She confessed. “I needed to make an appointment and find out what was going on.” Finally, Linda saw a doctor who prescribed physical therapy and a spinal injection.
The relief was welcome, but only lasted a few weeks. “There was a day in February where I needed to load up some supplies and equipment for an upcoming craft fair. When I did that, I overexerted myself and the pain came back again.” Linda shared. “I was in pain. I was getting the throbbing in my hip, the throbbing next to my knee, the throbbing down, you know, above my ankle.”
On March 9th, Linda was watching the 700 Club when Gordon started praying for viewer’s needs. “You’ve got a shifted pelvis too,” he said. “You heard the story about that and said please say that again. I’d love to get that for me. God has heard your prayer. He loved to give it to you. In Jesus name, be healed.”
Linda recalls her experience with Gordon’s prayer. “I went ahead and I took my hand, I put it on my right hip and I took my other hand and put it all up and down my leg. I felt the warmth of the Holy Spirit come over me, and the pain was gone. I said, 'Thank you Jesus.' It was wonderful. It was a miracle.”
Just four days after her healing, she went into her doctor’s office for a follow up appointment. She told him that she had been completely healed while watching the 700 Club. “I said, that's the power of prayer,” she exclaims, “and he said, 'that is the power of prayer.' He wrote down, ‘prayed,’ in his notes.”
Linda is still free from her sciatica pain and is once again enjoying the activities she loves. She also serves as an encouragement to others that God can and does heal. “God is our healer.” She says, “So never underestimate the power of prayer and God's healing. He healed me and answered my prayer, and He can do that for you.”
