This healing took place on a very special day. I woke up unable to walk. I had no strength to stand, I was helpless in my bed. The special day was Passover preparation day. Everyone else at the Mission Station was at work, and it was my task for the day to prepare for the Passover Meal which was to take place that night. Some of my responsibilities were:

a)Prepare the Passover table, including special settings, serviettes, flowers, labels etc. etc.
b)Cook the Passover meal, and anyone who has cooked a Passover meal for 12 knows what that entails.
c) Prepare a talk and pray about the spiritual plans for the evening, including everyone's contributions, music etc.
d) Prepare the room, putting up posters etc.
e) Any last minute shopping.
f) Make some soup for those coming in from work.
g) Pack to go away for a week the next day.

I enumerate some of the tasks before me that day in order to say how desperate I was as everyone was expecting this from me. I began to think of the illness happening at that particular time and concluded that it was sent by the enemy of our souls to thwart our special day. I decided to fight it and treat it like an onslaught from the enemy. I rang a friend to get a second opinion. "Go for it, I'll pray too" was the reply.
I began to rebuke the evil influence and knew in my spirit that I should make some sort of physical gesture of defiance against the enemy. I crawled out of bed and onto my knees on the floor. I kept on praying against the spirit coming against me and struggled to my feet, waves of exhaustion pouring over me. I began to pray in earnest and praise Yahshua for the deliverance He wrought for me on Calvary. I began to tentatively put one foot in front of the other. I began to walk around the room, praying and praising Yahshua and rebuking the enemy. Gradually I began to feel some strength.
After what seemed hours (but in fact was probably less than half an hour) I began to walk normally, my strength returned and I was – completely normal and healed! It had been a considerable spiritual attack. I had learned a valuable lesson that day.

4.Healing through a testimony.
This healing was truly miraculous. Before this amazing day, whenever I bought a skirt or dress I would have to take two inches off either the bottom of the skirt on one side or from the waist, as one of my legs was longer than the other, slanting all my hemlines. This was a longstanding problem and was part of my life. As I was a busy missionary I did not have the time to adjust all my clothes and so began to adopt the stategy of putting most of my weight on one leg so that the hemline would appear even. This also became a way of life, standing most of the time, on one leg!

Early one morning, I was lying in bed, listening to a testimony tape sent by a friend. Someone was testifying of being healed from 'odd' legs, one being longer than the other. Of course, it was electrifying for me because of my own condition. I can remember thinking, "Well, if they can be healed through Yahshua, so can I!" That was my initial response. Not very 'spiritual' rather matter of fact.
After hearing the tape to the end I began to dress ready for the day ahead. I was combing my hair, looking in the full length mirror on the wall, I gasped in amazement, the hemline on my skirt was straight! I checked the waist to see if I had fastened it properly, but yes, all was in order. I stood on the leg I normally stood on to straighten my hemline, and lo and behold, it made the familiar slant. I stood on both legs, evenly. To my astonishment I found that I was healed! I was totally surprised. No wonder Yahshua said to His disciples, "Oh ye of little faith."
It was the most amazing thing. Father was showing me a new secret about "faith comes by hearing... the Word of Yahweh" On this occasion, through a simple testimony. How wonderful was that!
