Met with a lovely young mum yesterday with Jonathan and Kathryn, doesn’t yet know Jesus (on her way to that now, and very bold to meet 3 people she didn’t know to be prayed for) – chronically wrecked right knee, and advanced endometriosis. The knee was wrecked merely by turning over in bed and her foot and didn’t turn at the same time: 5 surgeries had only made it worse, and she’s too young to have her knee replaced (she’s 33). The knee made life almost impossible with 2 young children as she could hardly walk. No cartilage, torn meniscus, soft tissue damage, and bones grating together so osteoarthritis on the menu for the future if not ‘on the plate!’. The knee caused her back pain, too, and she felt the weight of the world on her shoulders.
We met in Costa and spent some time just chatting, and as she relaxed and got ‘used’ to us, prayed for her. I didn’t tell her what to expect as I wanted her to tell me what she felt without having any pre-conceived ideas. Kept the prayer relatively short as faith had been raised in her just in chatting.
I asked her what she felt – and she’d had all the ‘right’ reactions(!) – tingling sensation in the whole of her abdomen, heat and tingling in her knee, her face and eyes had changed as the ‘weight’ went, the pain decreased and she felt God working in her… and a good Costa hot chocolate as well!
More Costa meetings like that in the future…Thank you, Jesus for what you did for her,,,,
