Greg : Wheelchair bound..

I was in a wheelchair, which doctors said I would remain in for the rest of my life.

In 1989 a lady knocked on my door and invited me to a Revival Fellowship meeting. I told her to go away, I had had enough bad experiences with religion in the past from being brought up in church boarding schools, but this lady persisted and eventually convinced me to go to a meeting by asking me the question, what have you got to lose? Looking at my life I could honestly say the answer was nothing. I went to the church meeting where I was told I could be healed by the power of God.

Years earlier I had been in a car accident and had damaged my spine. After numerous operations I was in a wheelchair, which doctors said I would remain in for the rest of my life. I was taking sixteen pain killing tablets a day as well as large amounts of alcohol to numb the pain and had a full time carer, as I could do nothing for myself.

People prayed with me to receive the Holy Spirit and have my back healed. Nothing seemed to happen during the prayer other than I had a desire to be baptised, which I did. I was baptised by full immersion just like Jesus was and I came out of the water speaking in tongues, which proved to me that there was a God. When I was offered help to get out of the baptism tank I refused and stood up myself. I walked down the steps, into the dressing room and dressed myself for the first time in twelve years. I threw all my painkillers away and have not taken any since.

It is now seventeen years later and I live a very blessed life.
