Danielle Was Healed of Multiple Sclerosis

In 2004 I was happily married and just had my second child. Due to experiencing numbness in my leg and toes for over 2 weeks the doctor recommended an MRI scan and other tests and I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

I had experienced excellent health, absolutely loved the outdoors and being active and did not expect a supposedly life-changing diagnosis of such magnitude, especially not at 32 years of age. My initial reaction was fear and uncertainty. I was particularly concerned how this was to affect my newborn baby girl, my 3 year old son and of course my husband. As a Spirit-filled Christian, I knew it did not necessarily have to be this way.

I knew God promised healing to His people and all those wonderful testimonies of healing in our church came flooding back into my head. It was such a big comfort. I knew I wanted a total healing on this MS or at least to live symptom free, I didn’t care how God did it. Most of all I prayed for that fear and uncertainty to disappear.

At my 2nd Neurology appointment, I gathered there is absolutely no cure for MS and was strongly encouraged to go on medication straight away. Going on medication for the rest of my life was my nightmare. I so wanted the Lord to change this. My need was put forward to the church at a time of prayer and fast. I was overwhelmed at all the people in the church that had already been praying for me, people I didn’t even know. Afterwards I just knew my need had been met; the fear and uncertainty was gone. I knew God was in control, whatever happened. Only He could give that peace and comfort and I thank Him for this every day. At my 3rd appointment the Neurologist said I was in absolutely no need of medication; this was a wonderful answer to prayer.

I praise God I have been almost completely symptom free since then. I have not once needed medication. There was only one time I experienced considerable numbness in my legs for 2 days; after further earnest prayer it completely went away and never came back. As a family, we love doing outdoor activities together - walking riding, swimming, camping etc. I have been able to continue going running; though I love it, the only thing that stops me doing it is slackness, not the MS!

This is not mind over matter. Our God is able to deliver us from all of our burdens. They are not ours to carry. I can’t thank Him enough for this wonderful deliverance from MS and also for having filled me with His Holy Spirit in July 1984, He really is the Comforter. Praise Him.
