One of the primary reasons people don’t believe miracles happen any more is because when they do we don’t share them. I’m so glad our sister Ginny Oyer has the courage to share this miraculous story with us. She is a witness to God’s care much like when Jesus scooped up Peter out of the sea of Galilee so Ginny was scooped up at Wooster hospital, read this story and give glory to the God who still saves us! -tm
This is the story of what our Loving and
Mighty Lord God did for me Monday, November 29, 2021.
I had been at the Wooster Hospital for an
appointment and my driver was waiting in the parking lot to pick me up at the
main entrance. When he saw me, he pulled
up to the curb and stopped. A man nearby
opened the car door for me and I started to get in the car. I had just put my left foot into the car when
the car started going forward. I held
onto the car door and tried very hard to get my foot out of the car, but it
wouldn’t move. I lost my balance and
fell with all my weight landing on my right knee on the concrete drive. Get this picture – my left foot was stuck in
the car, my right knee landed painfully hard onto the drive, and the car is
moving forward. I yelled, “Stop! Stop! but my driver’s foot had slipped off
the brake onto the accelerator, and it took him awhile to get his foot back on
the brake.
My knee had really taken a hard blow with all my
weight on it on the concrete drive. It
was paining so badly I was moaning with pain.
The man who had opened the car door for me cam and said, “I can’t help
you; I just had open heart surgery.” A woman
close by tried to help lift the weight off my knee but she couldn’t help at
all. The pain was so terrible I thought,
I’m going to have a lot of trouble with this knee injury for a long time.
I cried out for help – and immediately I felt very
strong hands and arms behind me, under my arms, slowly lift me up. I felt the great strength of the man as he lifted
me up slowly and steadily. Instantly all
the intense pain left my knee – all the pain was gone. The man stood me up beside the car door. I turned around immediately to tell him
‘Thank you’ and there was no one there.
My driver said he saw the man, very muscular and
strong looking, lift me up, but he didn’t see him disappear. I had not seen him because he was behind me
and he had not said a word.
Then I knew without a double the Lord had sent a
ministering angel to help me out of a bad situation. As we drove away from the hospital, I
remembered the words from Hebrews 1:14, “Are not all angels
ministering spirits send to serve those who will inherit salvation?”
Now I am especially thankful for these promises in
Psalms 91:11 and 12 – “For He will command His angels
concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you
up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
These are not just catchy words to read; they are
promises which the Lord keeps.
I touched the knee that had just been in such
pain, to see if it was sore. But it was
totally well, free from even any tenderness.
The Lord had healed my knee instantly and completely!
What am I to learn from such an amazing act of
God?
The Lord wanted to show His great
power in a way I couldn’t have imagined.
