July 14th-21st I was at training camp for The World Race. At training camp we began to learn what it looks like to really break God out of the box we keep him in as well as exploring the truly amazing things you only hear about. For the 1st couple days a man named Ron talked to all of us world racers about a number of things. He asked us why we were really going on the World Race, he spoke to us about forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and healing.
On the night that we talked about healing he asked if anyone in the room had any injuries whether physical, mental, or emotional, that they would like to be healed from. In the room of about three hundred people a girl named Becca raised her hand and then began walking up to the front. She had a big black boot on her left leg and she began to tell Ron and the crowd that she was a dancer from LA and she works for a dancing ministry. Becca was wearing that boot on her left foot because she had torn ligaments in her ankle and had possible fractures. This kept her from dancing and was really breaking her down.
From there, Ron lays his hands on Becca’s shoulder. He and all of the World Racers in the room begin praying for healing and that her foot will be completely restored. What happened next is just amazing….
Becca begins to tell us that her whole foot is tingling. A few seconds later she said she could feeling almost like a pulsing in her ankle and then she began to move her toes. Now we weren’t sure if she was healed or but we continued to pray for her. Two nights later while we were worshiping, and an interruption occurred. A World Race staff member informed us of some news that was unbelievable, Becca’s ankle had been healed!! The next thing we know Becca steps onto the stage with no boot and begins to dance beautifully; sliding across the stage, moving gracefully with spins, flips, cartwheels, and dancing on her tippy toes.
When she finished dancing she turns to the crowd watching her and yells out through her tears “MY ANKLE IS HEALED!!!” The crowd erupted with praises of thanks to God and amazement that we just witnessed what many think is impossible. Becca booted the boot, and I kicked down the walls of my box that I try to keep God in. He is more amazing and more powerful than I will ever be able to understand…. And I’m excited to see what’s next.
This is the kind of thing that you hear about, this is the kind of thing that a friend of a friend knows somebody who saw someone get healed in front of them. I saw it 1st hand though and it was one of the most shocking yet amazing things I have ever seen. The box that I try to keep God in has been shattered.
