I hope it wasn't just a dream. I don't question God's ability, I merely question my state of wakefulness at the time it happened. ;)

I just wanted to share an amazing healing I experienced a few nights ago. The morning of the day it happened, I was watching a pastor on YouTube talk about childlike faith and how that often keeps the more "civilized/educated" world from experiencing God's miracles because they reason them away.

I have a bad back. I ruptured a disc several years ago when I was 30 or so and had surgery, and I have had much stiffness and pain when I overdo it or move wrong.. or even just sleep wrong. Sometimes sciatica, too. During the night, I woke up on my stomach. It's a very bad position for me to find myself in because the pain is excruciating to roll out of. So I just lay there, helpless, and the first thing that popped into my mind was "childlike faith". I immediately prayed in the simplest way I knew how, fully trusting and believing in Jesus to do whatever he pleased. I asked for healing... for pain relief.

Within 10 seconds or so, I felt this amazing warmth and electricity travel down my spine! It was bliss! Like slipping into a warm bath. The warmth traveled from my neck to the bottom of my spine (giving me goosebumps) and was accompanied by a subtle vibration, like an electrical charge. All of the muscles in my spine completely relaxed, went to jelly. The pain was immediately gone. I laid there for about 20 seconds and thought, "I really need to wake my husband to tell him!" but I didn't. I felt I was having a very private moment and didn't want to impede. Then the sensation happened again, and I guess I slipped into a deep sleep because I don't remember anything after. I always remember having pain and re-situating myself during the night.

I have never experienced a healing miracle, and it was as close to ecstasy as I could describe it. I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

I don't know if God wanted me to share it to witness or just did it because He loves me. Oh, how I hope He loves me. But I feel very humbled and truly hope I wasn't in some kind of dream state. Thanks for letting me share. :)

Praise God!
