Testimony of Healing

Full arm mobility restored

Head injury healed

Christianne Foster Lupher

I decided not to try and see if I was able to move. As I recall, I didn’t even try to wiggle a finger. I was just going to pray and wait till I needed to move, and I confidently expected that then I simply would, because I was under God’s law, the law of freedom.
