Metallic Miracle

My name is Lewis, and in 1996, my dad and I were involved in a very bad car accident in Monaco that left my left ankle totally shattered. I had to undergo 6 hours of reconstructive surgery with a metal plate and 6 screws. When I returned to the U.S., I began to suffer from ankle pains and I went to see a specialist.

The doctor explained to me that the metal used in surgical procedures is “non-ferrous”, which prevents rusting and is not magnetic. At that time, I was unaware that the hospital in Monaco used a metal that was, for lack of a better term, “way old school.” It was slowly starting to rust inside my body. When it became apparent to me what had happened, much time had gone by and I was left with an expired medical insurance policy. Many doctors have told me that I needed to have the metal surgically removed. Failure to do so would be dangerous to my health and it may also cause some abnormal growth to my left leg, resulting in the left leg being shorter or longer than the right leg.

To make a long story short, one day I was swimming with my friend Andy, and I told him about how I often get a pain in my left leg. I then began telling him the whole story of how it all happened. He said “let me just pray for it, so that God may dissolve the metal, and you won’t need surgery.” I was stunned by his response, but I let him do it anyway. After the prayer, I felt this weird heat sensation on my ankle, and I even saw my left leg grow out about a whole inch!! I was convinced that I was healed.

This experience was put to the test when I walked through a metal detector because my “old school terminator foot” used to always set them off. I was coming back from San Francisco with Andy that weekend. When I got to the metal dectector at the terminal, I walked through it. For the first time since I had the procedure done (and I have flown over 150 times since then), my ankle did not set off the alarm, which only means one thing - God has restored my body to its natural state, metal free!!!

I share this story not because it is just another crazy story. I share it because I have always been skeptical about the power of God. Sure, He could do everything, but probably not things like these. Well, I guess He showed me the extent that one can do in His name! So hold on to your faith in the healing power of God, and know that He is always mighty to save!
