“I'm healed already”

Ralph had telephoned people on our behalf. Some asked for more information, some said no, and a few said yes at once. “Polly and Andrea were two of the few that never even asked any questions,” he said.

At Polly's home her partner John, a lifelong churchwarden, asked why after a lifetime of service he needed to be born again. Chidera explained it from the beginning: man is spirit, soul and body; born again means born from above; when you receive Christ, His Spirit quickens your spirit from the dead.

I'm healed. I'm healed already, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Then Polly asked quietly whether we would pray for her to be healed. She told us openly of her diagnoses of multiple sclerosis and of psychosis, which had come on in her mid-twenties. “It's a win if you believe,” she said, “whether or not your leg is healed.” She repeated after us, phrase by phrase, from her heart: “Lord Jesus, I receive You into my life … I am given to the service of God.” We laid hands on her and prayed for her deliverance and healing.

After we left, the word continued to be ministered to John and Polly, including clear counsel on the need to marry. Word has since reached us that they have decided to be married.
