Chronic Pain In Shoulder Gone After Meditating On God’s Word
I had this pain in my back for almost two years. When I gave my life to Jesus two years ago, I stopped slouching and started walking and sitting up straight, and my back started to hurt intermittently.
For the last four or five months, it had gotten really bad. It wasn’t stopping me from doing my job or anything, but certain ranges of motion would cause a very sharp pain in my right shoulder blade. I would stretch it out slowly and I could feel my muscles getting used to the motion. But it would continue to hurt and after a few seconds, it would just be as painful as before it was stretched.
It had gotten to the point where I was very conscious of the pain and constantly wondering when my healing was going to manifest. I even thought that maybe Jesus doesn’t consider this to be that big of a deal and that my back would heal once my muscles got used to the new posture.
Today at lunch, I read your word on meditating to release the power of God’s Word in our lives in 2012. You mentioned “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" as an example. I love that scripture, so I just decided to take it. I said it maybe 15 times while I was at work today and I found it very pleasant.
I usually like to keep one of your messages playing. FOR SOME REASON, I just decided that I would meditate the Bible way like you taught for the ride home. So I started to say, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,” over and over again. I must have said it 50 or more times. I was meditating on how Jesus IS my shepherd, and how kind He is to want to be our shepherd, instead of any other kind of person He could have chosen to be to us. And I just saw the Lord in front of me gently leading me. I thought on the fact that I shall not want for protection on the road, I shall not want for healing, I shall not want for favor at work.
Every breath seemed to just release deeper and deeper waves of healing throughout my entire being and I started to notice the pain in my back just dissipate. Pastor Prince, I am home now. The pain in my back is COMPLETELY GONE. IT HAS VANISHED! I am working my arm and neck around to find where the pain used to be AND IT IS NOT THERE. This is a miracle. I know you’ve said that thirtyfold, sixtyfold and then a hundredfold is more the norm, but I got my hundredfold immediately tonight! This is a genuine miracle. There is no mistaking what I am able to do with my arm freely now with NO PAIN. I feel like I have an entirely NEW SHOULDER BLADE.
Praise the Lord! He really loves me. He loves all of us. He really is everything His Word says He is. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!
