Knee & foot healed

I had been suffering from a very painful right knee since August last year. It especially caused me to have restless night’s sleep as I couldn’t put my leg in position where it wouldn’t cause pain. No amount of massage, chiropractic treatment or lotions helped for longer than a few hours. I asked God what was causing the pain as there didn’t seem to be anything physically wrong with the knee. He revealed to me that the pair of Ugg boots I had been wearing throughout the winter had relaxed so much with wear that my right heel was slipping over to the right when I walked. Even though I had noticed that myself I hadn’t put two & two together to come up with the right answer.

I immediately threw those old boots out & purchased a new pair which held my feet in the correct position. The knee began to improve. After several weeks it was completely healed, praise God.

However, after the knee healed, I developed plantar fasciitis in the right heel. This became so painful that I was finding it very difficult to walk. I couldn’t put my foot to the ground when rising from a sitting or lying position & had to find shoes that had a lot of padding under the heel so I could get around. That lasted for several months, then my right foot started to swell & get very tight. I was finding it hard to fit my foot into most of my shoes & the whole top of my foot was very tender to touch

I went for prayer at the Healing Rooms as my prayers & declarations didn’t seem to be working & I had had enough of the devil trying to hinder my walk. The team that prayed for me got a word from the Lord about Indian deities. My husband & I have ministered 9 times in India over the years. They broke off the bondages connected with those deities. When I went home God showed me that I needed to repent of walking on unholy ground. The very next morning the pain in my heel disappeared & the swelling in my foot started to reduce. Within a week my foot was completely back to normal & I am now walking with absolutely no pain or discomfort.

I give all praise & glory to God for His awesome goodness to me & for his faithful servants working in the Healing Rooms ministries.
