Healing obtained by the "Prayer of Faith"
Jake,
If you remember I came down and photographed you and your bride on
7/21/08. Before we started, if you remember, I asked you to pray for
my back. I've had lower back pain for thirteen years. It has been in
various stages of discomfort and pain but always stiff to where I
would have to bend carefully. I've spent thousands of dollars with
chiropractors. But the problem was so low in the back that they
couldn't get any leverage.
Since last November my wife and I have been exercising at the Meyer
Center here in Springfield. About a week after you prayed for me, I
was doing my routine with eight various machines. During the second
lap I was on a machine that cause me to push back against leverage.
My back popped. To me it sounded loud. I must have yelled and cussed
because a nurse came running. I eased off of the machine not knowing
what had happened. I was out of breath, felt strange, and scared.
After calming down I decided that the workout was over. During the
next few days I could tell that my back was different.
Since that day, my back has not been stiff. But the muscles and
ligament have been adjusting to what should be normal so I have had
some minor discomfort but no pain. Today, I feel normal with no pain,
no stiffness or discomfort of any kind. Thank you for your prayer.
While telling my story to people I tell them that I was seeking a
prayer of faith and not a prayer of hope. Thank you again for your
prayer of faith.
Bro. Terry J. Scroggins
