\u201cOne Sunday night in May of this year, God did something extraordinary with my small seed of faith.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Lisa, Melbourne, Australia<\/p>\n

The pain often woke me up in the middle of the night. It was either a shooting pain down my arm or a severe ache that made me feel as though my arm was going to drop off. My physiotherapist eventually diagnosed me with severe tendinitis in my left shoulder, which he treated with physio. But even with painkillers and strengthening exercises, it would get a little better for a while, and then get worse \u2013 sometimes bringing me to tears.<\/p>\n

I remember the day I really spat the dummy. I was sitting in my car and went to pick up my coffee out of the cup holder and didn\u2019t have the strength in my arm. That\u2019s when I thought, okay, this has gone too far. If I can\u2019t pick up my coffee, I\u2019m in trouble<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The pain had started years earlier when I was working for a wholesale florist. My job required lots of heavy lifting and manual labour and over the years, my shoulder deteriorated. In the weeks leading up to the Christmas of 2019, my physio told me straight: \u201cIf you don\u2019t stop what you are doing, you are going to have a miserable Christmas.\u201d<\/em> So, I did.<\/p>\n

Even though the damage had been done, I eventually left that job and got two part-time jobs in admin. One of them for the StoreHouse \u2013 A Hillsong social enterprise providing supermarket goods at an affordable price with all profits going back into the community. The StoreHouse has also been able to respond to crisis situations like the bushfires and the floods and was able to supply hampers to public housing tenants in hard lockdown during Covid. It\u2019s such a powerful initiative and there\u2019s a bonus: My new admin role didn\u2019t aggravate my arm.<\/p>\n

But still, I had pain \u2014 and while my husband and I had prayed for my healing, I had never been down the front for prayer. I figured God had more important work to do. In the end, I just lived with it \u2014 but every day was a challenge. Just getting dressed and not being able to lift my arm above shoulder height was excruciating. One Sunday night in May of this year, God did something extraordinary with my small seed of faith.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was \u2018Miracle Month of May\u2019 at Hillsong, and I turned up to our Melbourne East campus one Sunday night with that familiar niggle in my shoulder. As usual, I tried to ignore it and focus on my role in the events team. At the end of the service, after a brilliant message, our pastor called for anyone who needed healing to raise their hand. I looked around. A few hands were raised so I reached out my left arm \u2014 the dodgy arm \u2014 to pray for people; knowing that I also needed healing. As I did that, I closed my eyes and silently prayed, \u201cGod, as I pray for people, can you heal me?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

After the service finished, I went home and didn\u2019t think much of it \u2014 but later that night, before I climbed into bed, I recall thinking, that\u2019s unusual<\/em>, I don\u2019t have any pain.<\/em> When I got up the next day \u2014 no pain. Over the next few days, I thought I\u2019d test it out. I started moving my arm like I couldn\u2019t before. Up and down. Behind my back. Then I went to the gym and tried some of the exercises that had been impossible in the past,\u00a0like push ups and free weights over my shoulder. As I did these, I still had no pain. After three years of living with intense pain and not much relief, it was confirmed. God healed me. And it was just a simple prayer of faith in the middle of a service.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s crazy is that my husband had arthritis in his shoulder a few years earlier, and like me, had been serving in church when God healed him as well. Our leadership has a bit of fun with us. They\u2019ll often say, \u201cIf anyone needs healing in their shoulder, we\u2019ll send them to you guys.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0Occasionally, I get a little niggle here and there, but that\u2019s when I say, \u201cNo, God has healed me!\u201d<\/em>\u2014 and that\u2019s what I proclaim. God is not going to reverse my healing. He\u2019s not that kind of God. After serving God for many years and praying for people who have received miracle healings, I have experienced it for myself and that\u2019s powerful.<\/p>\n

Postscript: As one of our Hillsong Storytellers was working on this story, she was also healed of an eye irritation that had been bothering her for months.<\/p>\n
