Miraculous recovery of bilateral bursitis of the hips

I had been suffering from a pressing, nagging pain on my two hips for some time, but at the end of June I got a stabbing pain on both hips after an overuse. Because we were about to go on holiday, I went to the doctor. She prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, but they did not work. Then she sent me on for an ultrasound of the hips showing an acute bursitis on the right hip and to a lesser extent on the left.

In order to be able to leave on holiday, the orthopedist gave me an injection of cortisone, a strong anti-inflammatory drug, in both hips.

Authoritative prayer eating without pain

One of our church members tells you her story:

“On Monday morning 18th May: after a few bites of breakfast my left lower jaw started hurting horribly. I prayed immediately and commanded the pain to leave in Jesus’ Name. It hurt so much I had to wait after each bite before being able to take a new one. It took quite some effort to finish my breakfast.
Before lunch I prayed again. As I started to eat the pain returned. I ate again with great difficulty, even having a yoghurt hurt tremendously!

That afternoon I met with Ann and Hugo. I told them what happened and of course they prayed for me.

In March 2012 the back specialist told Ludwine she needed surgery. She had a narrowing of the spinal canal thereby pinching the nerves.

Without surgery, this would lead to paralysis of the legs and life in a wheelchair. She was startled at this diagnosis, but together with Jesus she could cope. So we prayed for a smooth surgery and a miraculous recovery. On 28th June 2012 Ludwine had a successful surgery. The rehabilitation took a long time but went smoothly. All the while Ludwine kept saying she couldn’t have gone through this without her faith in a loving Father who gave her the strength to persevere with patience and in tranquility. The many cards, phone calls, prayers and visits of people from church were certainly a big help too.

At the last check up at the specialist one year after the surgery X-rays were taken. The specialist was visibly surprised and said that the cartilage at the spot of the surgery was restored. This is exceptional as with most patients this takes up to 3 or 4 years but Ludwine was already healed! Now Ludwine could tell the doctor that she was very grateful for his precious hands but also that she prayed and that God took over once the specialist had finished his part!
