Waiting For Wellness Through Agonizing Shoulder Pain

As told by Kathy: “In late of summer of 2015, we were opening a new area for our rescue horses and I found an issue for safety that might have hurt my horses. It was some metal that needed to be out of the way. So, I was in a rush and I bent it with my arm and injured my tendon in my arm.”

“It was pretty painful but it went away to where I kind of didn’t pay much attention to it. And then in the middle of January I was doing some volunteer work and I just reinjured it.  It was just ongoing pain.”

 “It was so bad that I was sick in my stomach. Sometimes I would just be nauseated. I could not sleep.  The worst part is I couldn’t raise my arm all the way up. I couldn’t push it all the way to the side. My husband had to help me get dressed.”

“Since we live in the country, you know, we don’t run to the doctor. I waited three weeks to go to the doctor. The doctor took x-rays and said that I had an injured tendon, inflamed tendon and an injured rotator cuff.”

“The cortisone shot did not make me feel better. I couldn’t tell that it helped at all.  I went to one session of physical therapy and I hurt worse after doing it so, I didn’t go back.”

“I wanted to get well. It’s like I’m waiting to get well.”

“March 28, 2016, I happened to be watching The 700 Club. Pat had a word of knowledge about somebody with a shoulder locked up.”

Pat said, “Your right shoulder is locked up. I mean it really is just locked up. Right now, if you’ll move it. Just reach out and touch that shoulder…In the name of Jesus touch.”

“I said that’s me. I put my arm behind my back and I raised my arm up above my head.  And I had no pain. It was so nice. It was so good. It was such a relief.  Now I can work with my horses again. I can load hay. I couldn’t do that before.  I can put my arm behind my back, up above my head, off to the shoulder—to the side, anywhere I want to put it.

“I’m very grateful. He healed me and had mercy on me.  God is faithful. Jesus heals us. By His stripes we are healed.”
