Personal Stories - Woman healed from Rheumatism through prayer

May 12, 2008

Two ladies from Aglow in Britain visited Alba Iulia in Romania with the desire to start an Aglow group there.  They stayed at the house of a woman named Elena.  On the first evening of their visit, the women and Elena went to the local church to share Aglow's vision.  Elena watched as these visiting women hugged the dirty little children at the church and prayed with the ladies with such love.  She wanted to ask them to pray for her because she had suffered with Lumbar Rheumatism for 38 years since she was 10 years old.  However, she did not speak up and so let the opportunity pass by.

That night she heard a voice say, “I brought them to your home, why didn’t you ask them to pray for you?”. She wanted to ask desperately, but she needed her daughter to translate for her and at that time her daughter was not a Christian.  Elena battled with another voice that said, “if you ask them to pray and you aren’t healed, what will your daughter say?”.  Later that morning her daughter went out and the two ladies asked Elena if they could pray for her. They prayed in tongues and one of the Aglow ladies from Britain began to sing a song of healing. After the prayer, her daughter came back.  The ladies left the next morning and when Elena went to church, she realised that she did not need to do what she had normally had done to ease her pain.  She was completely healed!  She now shares her story with any one who will listen. The pastor has also agreed to help her start an Aglow group in their town.
