REVIVAL HEALING TESTIMONIES Healed of genu valgum

I was born with a Vitamin D deficiency, which resulted in rickets, and as a result, I had deformities called genu valgum or ‘knock knees’.
Knock knees is a common lower leg abnormality that is usually seen in the toddler, preschool and early school-aged child. In genu valgum, the lower extremities turn inward, causing the appearance of the knees to be touching while the ankles remain apart. This is where both my knees constantly touched each other.
Basic running was an issue, as I often fell over, which caused me great distress. I had no friends in primary school, and felt different from others around me. This led to other kids bullying me at school, calling me ‘ugly’, and my sister was the one who got the bullies off my back. As I grew older and started going to church, I was prayed for and noticed that my knees were starting to get straighter and straighter, until my problem simply disappeared. I no longer had ‘knock knees’ and I am truly thankful to God for my miracle.
To be honest, I thought I was totally healed over the years, but I wasn’t aware that my right leg was shorter than my left leg. This was noticed recently at our ‘Ministering in the Supernatural’ healing class at ECC. We were taught how to command healing on the lower back, and growing out the legs if one leg was shorter than the other. As we got into pairs to practise on each other, a command of healing was given for my shorter leg to get into alignment, and for both legs to be aligned.
As the command was given for my right leg to grow out, I experienced God’s healing power in the class. My shorter leg grew out by at least an inch. My knee joints are even stronger, to God be the glory! God is amazing, and what He has done for me He can do it for you too. Trust Jesus.”
Healed through a prayer cloth - no operation necessary
One day, when Irene took off the prayer cloth to have her shower, she noticed the abscess had actually popped and was bleeding, and she squeezed out the pus. (Irene is also a nurse.) The doctors had planned to take Irene to theatre to drain the abscess. She was kept nil by mouth all day. In the evening, they still hadn’t taken her to have surgery, as there had been some emergencies earlier that day. I asked the nurse in charge whether Irene would be having surgery, as it was now evening. The nurse in charge wanted Irene to remain nil by mouth, in case surgeons came and wanted to operate on her.
The next morning, I went to see Irene and was surprised she still hadn’t had surgery. The doctors decided to order an ultrasound and couldn’t find anything. There was only a tiny bit of fluid there. The surgery was cancelled, and Irene was discharged. God had caused the abscess to drain out naturally, and healed her.”
