Finger Healed & so much more!
My testimony of the healing of my right index finger is more than a physical healing and this I would like to explain. When the speaker at the Celebrate Jesus meeting asked if anyone has an index finger that needs healing I was trying to decide which finger when I saw the scar on my finger and I was struck with the infilling of the Holy Spirit. When I went to stand up I was wobbly and fell back onto my seat. I held onto the seat in front and pulled myself up. My finger was injured 41 years ago, and I have learnt to live with its stiffness and lack of movement. After prayer in the Name of Jesus for my finger to have full movement and be healed I could feel Holy Spirit all over me. I checked my finger and its ability to bend and straighten was amazing! I was able to flex it like I hadn’t been able to do for 41 years. It moved with ease! My finger had been injured 41 years ago and had stitches and a splint to hold it in place so the stitches could close the cut. When the splint came off and the stitches came out my finger had lost movement. Over the years it has become less used and therefore become less useful.
Recently the Father has been drawing my attention to what’s in my heart and who I really am. 41 years ago, I became a young single mother and the healing of my finger is a reminder of how my life changed and how for years I had battled with thoughts of rejection and being less than capable or worthy. I have been a Christian for 23 years and know who I am in Christ. Jesus has loved me and displayed His love and acceptance of me. My past is washed clean by His powerful blood shed for me on the cross. But I still battle the enemies lies that accuse me of being a “single mother” who is rejected, living with shame and a pauper mentality. I am more than an overcomer and I have become such a warrior of faith in who God says I am. I am on a journey of a lifetime with the Father who totally loves me. Saturday night at the conference when my index finger was healed, my past shame and pain of rejection was healed at yet a greater level. God had a way for me on Saturday in healing an old wound that not only I, but others, can relate to and be healed from His touch. I continue t walk with the Holy Spirit in the freedom won for us all by Jesus on the cross.
