Terrible leg pain healed!

After almost 4 years of praying for me and with me, and almost just as long trying to get me to visit a Healing Service, I went along with Michael and Jane to the Chiswick Christian Centre. There was to be a preacher from America visiting, called Dr James Maloney.

I attended the healing service hoping to be touched by the Holy Spirit because I desperately needed courage to deal with my ongoing and torturing daily pains both the physical and mental ones.

Their healing service was like our own only a lot bassier! They sang the same songs as we do! I felt full of vibrancy! However, I remember feeling sore in my neck as their projection screen was high up on the wall and I was singing as if I was at a pop concert! So I decided to sit down.

After the singing the healing service progressed with a short speech and then Dr Maloney was introduced and began his sermon. Almost immediately he mentioned that he believed in the power of healing and prayer which could dissolve even metal from within the body. As you can imagine my antennae was fully tuned in by this point. He prophesised that by the end of his sermon between 15-20 people would be either touched by the power of healing or the power of a miracle.

He then asked for those wishing to receive healing to step forward. 20ish people came forward. I was one of them who stood up. Michael was taking no chances and thrust me forward to make sure that I would claim my place. He and Jane were desperate that I received the healing I needed. Dr Maloney said that there were a few people too many but he made us all stand in a line in front of him with our backs to the congregation. I happen to be placed smack bang in the centre of the line and he was standing in front of me.

At this stage I felt amazed at how simple and quick these things were working out. Dr Maloney then approached a lady to the left of me. He prayed over here and then proceeded to work along the line of people, away from me. He was touching them on their heads and they were bending forward as if his hands were a ton weight on their heads. On each one of them he placed his hands on their heads. As he was working away from me I started to get this intense shaking sensation in my left leg. It was so uncontrollable that I had to hold my left thigh with both my hands and even then it was still shaking violent. The further away he walked from me the more my leg was trembling. I decided twice to turn away and return to my seat. It was only the fact that had I moved I would have fallen that I remained solid on the spot but the trembling still continued.

Dr Maloney started to work back towards me. Suddenly I was next in line. I felt as though I should be trembling with fear but at this point I was calm as could be. I took a sharp intake of breath as he approached me. Then he walked past me and towards the end of the line to my right. My leg started to shake again but I was more worried about the feeling of shame that I felt that he did not think I needed any healing. I felt like a true fraud. I shiver even now when I think of the way I felt at that moment. I didn’t know this until after I returned to my seat, but at this point Michael and Jane were in shock and worrying that I was going to miss out on any chance of healing. Jane then told Michael that this was the way it would be, all part of the master plan! However I was still shaking, alone and confused, I felt ashamed.

Dr Maloney then started to get closer. He approached a lady 2 away from me, she held the right side of her neck and told him that she suffered with a lump in her neck. He placed his hand there and calmly asked her “where is the lump?” She instinctively replaced her hand to her neck…. The look of shock that she also could not find the lump was awesome.

He came closer and then it was my turn. He stood in front of me and asked me what my whipping was! I told him I had DDD and quickly added that I had a spinal fusion with a titanium plate in my neck. He looked at me and said quietly “I knew that” As he placed his hands on my shoulders I sighed with relief and then felt calmness overcome me. Then I felt a heavy heated sensation as if he were pushing down hard on my shoulders, which he wasn’t because I could still feel his hands there gently. Then I felt as if the plate that is placed vertically in my neck and held in place by 4 screws was popping outwards with my skin stretching over it just like Itchy and Scratchy from the Simpsons body parts pop out when they are battering each other to death.………

He started speaking again and then said that he sensed that there was a numbing sensation and loss of feeling in my left side, which at the time I found strange as medically I have been diagnosed with loss of sensation in my entire right side from my shoulder to my toes, but I now believe to be reference to the devil taking hold of me trying to convince me to turn away. He had been afraid, very afraid…. and rightly so too! He asked me how much I wanted this and I replied almost in tears very much! He looked up to the congregation and said “it has gone quiet in here I can’t here you praying”, he also said that everyone should come closer and pray for me, because he explained there have been people here who needed the power of healing but this lady, me…. needed the power of a miracle, then he shook me slightly and let go of me. At that moment the sensation in my neck stopped and I let go of the walking stick. I closed my eyes and felt as if I swayed a few times. As I opened my eyes I saw what I could only describe as a hazy white blanket floating in front of my eyes. When I looked around he was gone.

After a few more hands on healing with the remaining few we all went back to our seats and then he left quietly out the back door… I know this because I remember now that I turned my neck to see him leave! Something I couldn’t do since 2003!

I returned to where Michael and Jane were sitting and immediately sat down too. As I looked up at them I could see that they had been crying. I instantly stood up and hugged Michael and then Jane. I was now crying and stood there clinging onto Jane for a minute and I recall kissing her cheek gratefully about three times!  Then we got ready to leave, Michael helped me on with my coat. I realised I could bend my neck back and look at him from the side to see where he was holding the coat open for me, which I couldn’t do before. I carried my stick to the car, although I did walk slowly with apprehension. When he parked up outside my home he got out and came around to open the passenger door, as he usually did, but I was already up my garden path stick in hand ringing on the doorbell eager to tell my husband. He was amazed and so were we all.

I spent the night checking neck and leg movements. All still moving. Then I got up at 3.30 and checked again, it wasn’t just a dream! I felt so full of enthusiasm that I logged onto my PC and searched for Dr James Maloney… I found a site with him on it and it was located in Horsham, which I remembered he mentioned in his sermon.

As soon as it was 9.00 I called the number, the phone rang and this lady answered. I was expecting an answering machine. I immediately said that Dr Maloney had touched me yesterday. She replied, “Excuse me” in her American accent! I explained that he had lain on his hands and healed me…. Then she realised what I was saying and asked if I had attended a healing service, then she told me to hang on. I felt embarrassed because if I had been her I would have understood that he had indecently assaulted me the night before! The line clicked and I was ready to apologise to her and explain properly when I heard the most beautiful American twang you could ever hear… He simply said hello there… I asked if he was Dr Maloney and he said he was. I hurriedly explained who I was, the lady with the stick, and he said that he remembered and told me that the healing would continue… He was so happy for me and thanked me for calling him personally to tell him of the changes his prayers had made… then the call was finished and I was left holding the phone with only the ringing of his voice in my ears…

I am so full of enthusiasm even though I am still in pain in the remaining areas of upper spine and lower back, it doesn’t feel as striking as before.

I realise and believe that I was blessed that night, not passed over as I had feared. Jane and I both believe that Dr Maloney waited until the end because he was going to first carry out the power of healing; he was leaving mine, which needed the POWER OF A MIRACLE to last.

A MIRACLE HIT ME THAT NIGHT AND I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT HE CHOSE ME.
