Miracles still happen

By Alton L. Richardson

My sciatic nerve had been terribly painful for a year when my doctor asked me to have several X-rays of my lower spine. Examining the images, my doctor noticed the deterioration of my spine but also noticed that I had a large abdominal aortic aneurysm, an unusual dilation or stretching of the aorta. He immediately ordered an ultrasound of my stomach.

In the meantime I sent out a number of e-mails to my close friends and we sought God in prayer. I went to the altar on Sunday weeping and praying before the Lord. Pastor James Bradford anointed me and prayed for my healing. I felt God’s touch.

When we got the report back from the ultrasound, they could find no aortic aneurysm. We give all the glory to God.
