Being obedient to the Lord is tough at times! We have to know that the Lord will support us in what He has called us to do. This is my healing testimony of how the Lord healed a muscle strain that allowed me to complete something He had called me to do.

The last place you want to have a strained leg muscle is in the woods on a hike. And even worse is when you are leading a team of men on a hike. I came into came after hiking two days and my leg thigh in particular was feeling strained and sore.

I started to question if I could make it through the last two days hike, and if I did, if it would be with significant pain and difficulty due to pulled thigh muscle. I went to bed hoping that getting rest would help, but the following morning the pain was still there.

We held our wilderness church service the morning of October 21, 2023 which included an opportunity for prayer at the end. I went to two other leaders and asked for prayer on my strained thigh. They laid hands on me and anointed me with oil and began to pray. The second man prayed and recalled the story of the ten lepers, in particular this verse:

When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed.

Luke 17:14

He prayed that as I left camp in a couple moments my leg would be completely healed. After the prayer I went to test out the healing by squatting down. Still pain! Frustrated, I put on my pack and headed out. We left camp and I never felt pain in my thigh for the next two days of the hike!
