12 years of back pain left instantly

A car accident 12 years ago sent a man's life to spin out of control. The pain is out of control. For 12 straight years, he could not live a day without pain; pain in the neck, pain in the back, tingling on the left side and headache. They have driven him deep into pain medicine addiction. A month of doctor's prescription could be gone in 4 days. Nothing helps. Street drugs do not help. Alcohol does not help.

He was angry with God blaming him for allowing something like this to happen to him. Desperation and depression cause him to lose his faith in God. God seems so far away from him; leaving him alone to deal with his pain. His doubt, fear and blaming himself do not help him either; the pain persisted. Addiction would eventually destroy his whole body.

God met him on the street of life. Sitting around a small table, we held hands and prayed. He prayed first, and then I prayed. Between 1-10, his pain level was at 8. At the end of the prayer, his pain went down to 1 instantly. I asked him to stand, check and see how his pain level is now. 1. I anointed him on his hands, forehead and laid my hands on his back and head and commanded the pain to leave him. The pain left him completely. Checking back again with him today, he is so happy. He slept well last night for a long time. Doing well he said. I encouraged him to read the word of God. He said he will. Great.

Leaving him walking back to my corner, I thank the Lord for delivering him from doubt, fear and physical pain. The pain of 12 years left him instantly just like that. Thank be to God.
