This is Rick Driggers’ story of how The Spirit healed him.
A heavy “A-frame” medal ladder at full extension blew over and struck me across the top of my head just as I bent over to move a child sandbox. For thirty minutes I had been walking the yard with a fertilizer spreader. The blow was serious: 14 staples and three months of headache, sleepiness, lethargy, inability to concentrate and sensitivity to light/loud noises.
At first, I lamented about the odds of such a “freak accident” causing such a disruption in my life but I kept coming back to this truth: there are no such “accidents” in the Kingdom of God.
Why was I injured? I don't know: “How unsearchable are His judgements and how inscrutable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord?” (Rom 11:33)
Prayers went up during those three months but there was no change. Then, one morning my wife had a word for me: Jeremiah 30:17 – “But I will bring you health and will heal you of your wounds...” In that scripture, she saw it as a call for me, despite my symptoms, to start reading the Word and stepping out in faith.
That evening some friends came over to meet at my home to discuss some things of the Lord. I expected to last about 15 minutes. They prayed for me at the beginning of our meeting. My sweet wife was praying for me during the meeting.
We gathered outside around a table and I just kept staying out there with my brothers under His stars! My word count went beyond the previous month total! I went for 2 ½ hours!
Who knows the ways of our God? Maybe He just wanted to show Himself strong on my behalf and show us all that He is a healer! All I know is, after 3 months of classic concussion symptoms, there was a sudden healing my body experienced over the course of five minutes! I say “Glory to God!”
