Bulging Disks and Degenerative Disk Disease healed
My name is Marcus and at the time I was working installing solid slab granite counter tops. They are very heavy as you can imagine, after about a year of an achy back I had a sharp pain in my right calf. It was extremely painful. I went to the doctor that day only to find I had four bulge disks and degenerative disk disease that had been there for quite some time. My disks were dissolving. One of them was so bulged and far gone that the joint was swollen and was pushing on the nerves down my legs. From this point I only got worse. The doctors said that there was nothing they could do but remove the disk and fuse the vertebra together. This did not sit well with me. I refused to believe that this was what had to happen. I worked part time the best I could. Almost every day I would come home in tears and cry out to God to heal me. The pain got so bad that I was taking ten oxycodone and six flexural a day just to cope with the pain. The doctor wanted to give me heaver medications but I refused. I wanted to be able to feel when the Lord healed me. The pain went on for two long years. Some days were much harder than others. But I never gave up hope.
My mother had been following the ministry that was going on at Bethel Church and she would tell me about all the wonderful healings that had continuously been happening. I finally made up my mind that I was going to go down there to get prayed for. At this point I could hardly walk, sit or lay down. The pain was almost too much even with an increase of medication. I was desperate. The weekend my mother and I planned to come down to Redding, I had come down with pneumonia and ear infections in both ears. I had been sick for a little over a weak. My mother said that maybe we should wait until I got better because she didn't want to have to admit me into the hospital if I got any worse. I told her we should pray about it. So we did and she called me ten minutes later and told me the Lord spoke to her. I asked, "What did He say". She replied, "A well man would go". I said, “what is that supposed to mean?" She said, “I don't know but, it's for you though, I know that." I hung up the phone and thought about it for a bit. Then I realized that if was going to get well I needed to go. I called her back and said, “back your bags were leaving in the morning". After I hung up the phone I got a burst of energy and my ears began to clear up almost right away. By the next day the fever had broke and I was feeling pretty good for a guy that had two ear infections, pneumonia, and extreme pain down both legs. It was a long painful trip to Redding from Portland Oregon.
As I arrived at Bethel Church it was about four on Friday afternoon. I went into the office and told the lady behind the desk that I was here for some prayer. Just then two ladies came out form another office I didn’t get there names. They took me into another room and began to pray. One of them had a word of knowledge for me and said, “Marcus I feel like you’re really hard on yourself and that you have unforgivness in your heart form yourself. It was like the Lord was speaking right to me. I knew what she said was right on. I just didn’t see it before. I left there and went to the prayer chapel and prayed that the Lord would show me all that I hold agents myself….There was a lot. I repented and was able to forgive myself for everything. I left there still in a lot of pain but there was a burden that lifted that I never knew was there. This set the stage for me to finally receive my healing. The next morning I went to the healing rooms at Bethel Church eagerly expecting my healing. That’s where I met Chris Gore. He was the one the Lord used to heal my broken body. As he laid his hands on me I felt a rush come over my body and the pain starting to decrease. I just sat and wept in joy and thanksgiving. I was healed, finally, after two years. That was seven months ago and I am still walking in divine healing. I am healed! I am healed! Praise the Lord I am healed!
