Miracle of Miracles

For those of you who might be in the dark let me give a brief back-story to this testimony. Just before I moved to Ukraine in 2002, I strained my back. Since that time it has severely hampered my health and my activities. I tried exercise, but that only seemed to aggravate the problem. Two years ago I had an MRI which revealed a bulge in my disc at the L5S1. The problem continued to get worse. Then a few months ago I got sick and simultaneously my back pain went into overdrive. I was practically bed-ridden for two months. I went and had another MRI. This one revealed, instead of a bulge, a huge hernia. The doctor took one look, as did the Christian Chiropractor I consulted, here in Ukraine, and both said “You need surgery!”

I was not the least interested in that prospect but as time went on, and as the pain was so unrelenting I found myself strongly considering the option, and taking that option sooner than later. I have been asking the Lord for a miracle since the initial strain but hadn’t seen one. Almost one year ago I told the Lord if I didn’t have my mobility restored with in a year I was going to need to leave the mission field, and get proper treatment in the USA.

Well, my parents, my wife, and I all fasted. We and others (my grandparents and friends and supporters) prayed. Suddenly almost over night about 5 weeks ago, my back pain practically disappeared. And no my pain is gone. I have occasionally, slight tingling in my right foot, but this is nothing compared to the numbness I had from my toes up through my buttocks for so long. For months my back was so bad, the pain so intense, that I could sit at the computer for even five minutes without being brought to the verge of tears. Now I sit here writing to tell you that God is good. He is in the miracle business. He deserves all the glory. Praise Him….Father….Son…& Holy Ghost!!!
