On Monday morning as I was getting dressed for work, I felt a piercing pain in my right side, and I was frozen with that pain, unable to move without sharp, painful distress.  I would need to see a doctor to find out what happened and what to do about it.

            My mind immediately went to Gary Weddell, a chiropractic doctor and a man of God who is a gifted healer and a volunteer at A Healing Place. I was able to get in to see him at his office within the hour. In only about ten minutes, Gary had the problem diagnosed and “my parts back in place”.  He informed me, however, that I would feel “like a truck ran over me” for a while, and I may need to come back for more adjustments.  As it turned out, I did not have to return. I did have some minor pain with the soreness, and some restricted movement if I wanted to avoid pain, but I was able to finish out the work week. There were also some interesting side effects regarding digestion and another area of my body, but I was able to walk straight as I should and make most all of the usual movements correctly.

            On Saturday I went to A Healing Place as usual as a volunteer. While  I was there, I asked Bev (who works in Gary’s office and is also a volunteer at A Healing Place) about some of the side effect issues. She explained that they were normal for what I had been through. In the healing room, the prayer ministers laid hands on me and prayed for complete healing. I didn’t give it much thought the rest of the busy day, but as I was getting ready for bed I realized that I no longer had any of the issues that had been prayed for. All traces of pain, soreness, and poor functioning were gone!

            As it turned out, this past week I have been called on to do extra hard physical work that I don’t normally do, and God kept any fear of re-injuring myself far from my mind, and I realized afterward that I had strength that I didn’t know I had, including using my back, and with no repercussions. Praise the Lord… that’s what I call healing!

            “But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we were healed.”
