THE FIRST REAL MIRACLE came in the second Healing Revival we had, in Western Pennsylvania. We were looking to God for a break. On the third night, a man came in with a bad case of palsy, and an injured spine sustained in a foundry accident two years before which left him a complete cripple in the left leg. He had to drag it along and had no use of it or the four small toes on the left leg. Also, there were four dead, or numb spots on his leg. He was operated on and the doctor’s diagnosis was that several vertebrae were crushed. They said he would never work again. This crippled-palsied man was saved, and then wanted to come into the prayer line. At this point (early in my healing ministry) a fear gripped me, and I told him to wait three days while I fasted and prayed until I was sure God would heal him. Suddenly God spoke to me and said, “Who is going to heal him anyway?” That was enough for me, for almost immediately an unexplainable power swept over me which minimized my fear and gave me power to rebuke Satan. I called the man into the prayer line and was given such freedom in prayer as I breathed the name of Jesus. I felt such an anointing upon me as I prayed, “In the Name of Jesus” three times. I opened my eyes and saw that his palsy had stopped instantly. The man asked what he should do next. Since I had never before seen anyone prayed for as a cripple and did not know how to answer him, I sought God’s guidance and He led me, and spoke through me. I heard myself say, “Walk in Jesus’ Name,” and walk he did! At first, his leg dragged, then it loosened. Oh, how he praised God! The Biblical story of the cripple at the Gate Beautiful came to my mind, and I asked the man to do the same things. I said, “Run, in the name of Jesus,” and run he did after which he
turned flips in the air, crying out and praising God, saying, “I’m healed, not only the
palsy is gone, but my injured spine, crippled leg, and four dead spots on my leg are
healed, and God has placed new life in my body.” He went back to work seven days
later.
