When I was a young teenager, some really horrible things happened that left both my soul and my body injured. The healing of these wounds has been a long process, but I praise God that He has delivered me from the chains in my soul that had been loosening with every step towards freedom.

However, during these years of emotional healing, one issue remained. My right hip had received an injury which continued to cause pain which was often excruciating. More than the physical pain, though, it was a constant remainder of the trauma of my past. A couple of years ago, the Lord told me that He will confirm that inner healing has taken place by healing my hip pain – which doctors have told me would be permanent.

At the Holy Ghost service in September 2008, the pastor prophetically asked who experiencing pain was in their right hip. I was so excited because I KNEW that it was my night. I raised my hand and said: "Finally". It was my day of freedom from physical pain, but much more than that. It was a day of freedom from the pain and scars of my past.
