A Surgery-Free Answer to Neck Pain
On July 15, 2015, Brenda Sipes Wade was getting on the interstate on-ramp to go home, when she saw the cars in front of her had stopped.
“…and put on my brakes real quick and I had no brakes. I just – I thought I’m going to crash into him. And I did. I totaled my car, and the next thing I remember, because I did hit my head against the steering wheel, the airbag deployed and everything. And there was a guy helping me out of the car to get into an ambulance. It wasn’t a couple of minutes after that ‘til my neck really started hurting,” says Brenda.
After an MRI and x-rays confirmed she had no had broken bones, her emergency room doctors gave her a neck brace and sent her home. Afterwards, she was in constant pain.
“That’s the only way I could keep from the headache and the back of the neck hurting was wearing the neck brace. I finally got it situated when I went to bed at night to where I could wear the neck brace while I was in bed.”
For two months, she went to her chiropractor three times a week. But the pain would not go away.
“The simplest of things, hardwood floors, sweeping. So I would say anything involving your shoulders, movement of your head, neck and shoulders that I had difficulty with.”
On September 4th, she was at home, watching The 700 Club.
“And they were doing prayer. And I was sitting back over here in my recliner and I had my hand like this on my neck. Because it was really bothering me. And he (Gordon) had a word of knowledge. He said, ‘There is someone. You are laying your right hand on the back of your neck. You have recurring headaches from it, recurring pain shooting into your right shoulder, and God has healed you.’
“It described exactly how I felt. And where I had my hand on my neck and so forth. And I said, ‘That’s for me, Lord. Thank You, thank You, thank You.’”
Then Gordon continued with, “He has set you free from that. Begin to move your neck. Do what you couldn’t do before.”
“And I started just shaking my head around, up and down, every direction,” says Brenda. “Instant. Instant. I moved my head and neck, I had no more pain.”
Two weeks later, her doctor called her with the results from a follow-up MRI.
“And he said, ‘They say you have – your surgery was successful.’ And I said, ‘You know I did not have surgery. I’ve not had surgery on my neck.’ He said, ‘Well, you had a Surgeon that’s not of this earth.’ I said, ‘You’re right, you’re right.’ I said, ‘I knew I was healed.’”
Now she’s back to doing her needlepoint and other hobbies she couldn’t do before.
“It was definitely a miracle. Definitely a miracle. I mean, you know, when I’m a [twirling her head], it just was a miracle. Simple as that. When it shows you’ve had surgery and you haven’t. It was all healed. It really was. God’s been so good.”
