Healing Room

So much has changed in my life over the past weeks, months, and years. A few months ago had you told me I'd be in an evangelical Christian church singing and swaying to Christian Rock, I'd have told you no way! Not for me! Glad someone finds peace with it, but that's not me.


On Monday night, December 7th, I sat in a room on the upper level of the school side of the church. My best friend and her son were in a seat across from me. Between us and in circle with us sat three members of the church. They prayed for her son. They prayed in Jesus' name. They prayed for his perfect brain and his perfect little body to continue to make strides and be well, and to overcome autism. They thanked God for putting compassionate, loving people in his path. They thanked God and Jesus for my best friend and prayed for her continued strength.

I got teary eyed. The energy raised was palpable. I could feel it. It was tingly and moving. Some may say that sounds crazy.

The three "healers" in this room did not think me crazy at all. The eldest smiled and said I was very perceptive and sensitive. The blonde lady next to me informed me I was feeling the Holy Spirit. She described it as a "warmth" that comes over her. The eldest said this was not like New Age circles, but it seems very similar to me.

The three laid hands on my spine and prayed in Jesus' name for healing. They prayed the vertebra would be aligned and any spurs or disc material not where it was supposed to be would be corrected. They prayed for the nerves to be well. They prayed for the Devil to leave this body and not come back! They prayed for the mass on my liver to vanish, for the roots to shrivel and it to leave! They commanded these things, the eldest in a foreign tongue I did not understand.

As proof, I ran through the room with the eldest healer. I jumped up and down with her. My back did not hurt when I did it. I smiled. I thanked her. She told me, "No, Thank Jesus. I didn't do anything. Jesus did the healing." They hugged me and gave me reading material on how to keep the healing and scriptures to review.

A month ago I may have been receptive. Two months ago I'd have thought of the kitten picture. I still think of the kitten picture...but my smile is for a different reason now :-)
