Hands & Leg Restored

While I attended the Dufresne Miracle Crusades in Fredonia, NY, I received healing in both my hands and my right leg! On the last evening service on Thursday, August 18th, Pastor Nancy Dufresne had Pastor Craig Field lay hands on anyone with problems with nerves or paralysis or anything that was not firing right with the nerves. Immediately I knew I needed to go up there to receive my healing for the numbness I had in my hands and right leg. When I was pregnant with both of my children I had carpal tunnel syndrome. With my second son, it was not as bad, but I still would have times post-partum when my hands and arms would go numb for periods of time. Any time I used my hands a lot or slept too long on one arm, it would go completely numb. It happened on and off on a regular basis. Not fun. When I had my second son, Theodore, I had to get a second epidural. Unfortunately, due to the second one, something wasn't quite right with my leg afterwards. A section from the top of my right thigh down to my foot still felt numb. No matter how many days passed, even after I got home, I still noticed it. At first I didn't think too much of it because when I had my first son, I had a similar experience, and over time, my legs got back to normal. The effects took longer to wear off because of the treatment I needed at the time. When I went in for my checkup and mentioned the symptoms to my doctor, he said sometimes it happens and to keep an eye on it and report back if nothing changed. About a month went by, and it seemed to get a little better, but there were times I would notice it was still numb in certain spots when I touched it. With other things going on in my life at this time, I just didn’t care too much about it and just figured I would live like that for now and hoped it would get better in time. I had more important things I needed to focus on. I just believed that God would restore the rest of the healing I needed as I was faithful to trust Him and put my faith into action. When Pastor Craig laid hands on me, I immediately felt the anointing enter into my hands; they felt like they were on fire! Then the whole right side of my leg was warm. For the next three days, I could feel at different times while I was resting or laying down warmth or tingling in those areas. Ever since the morning of Sunday, August 21st, I have not felt ANY numbness in either my hands or leg AT ALL! What is so special about this miracle to me is that God cares about the WHOLE of us. The truth of the matter is I probably would have needed some sort of surgery to make it FULLY better, but I was also stubborn and accepted living that way when God never intended that for me. God doesn’t want us to live our lives in pain, even if to us or in our minds we think it’s miniscule. God knew what I needed, and because I trusted Him and obeyed Him and showed up to church, my miracle was waiting for me. Had I not been there and responded to that call, I would still have issues with that numbness. I remember when she called that out and in my head I was like, ‘No way!!!’ God cared enough about me to want me to be FULLY functional in my legs and hands! Not just some of the way or almost all the way – ALL THE WAY HEALED! The healing for my hands and feet was only ONE miracle God did for me. It wasn't even on the top of my list of things I have been believing Him for, and He was STILL FAITHFUL TO RESTORE WHAT I NEEDED! AMEN! My opportunity was there, I took it, and I am grateful to the Lord for my healing!!! It is my hope that this blesses someone and helps them to believe God even when to them it seems like a small' need. God reminded me of His love and care for me when I put my trust in Him. Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully (1 Peter 5:7, AMPC). If He can do it for me, He can do it for you!
