I had been plagued with a nagging stiffness in my right shoulder joint since August 2021. Initially I did not give it too much attention thinking it would go away soon.

However, 2 months later, it degenerated into a constant excruciating pain not only at the joint area but also around my chest and forearm. At one point, the pain got so bad, I could not even raise my right arm or use it to touch my shoulders. I would apply medicated plasters on my shoulder and even resorted to going for therapy and taking anti-inflammatory supplements.

It was a roller-coaster ride. On good days, I would just experience a dull ache. But on bad days, I would be totally wasted. In the last week of December, my condition worsened due to the cold weather, and I could not even sleep properly for many nights.

Then, on Vision Sunday, Pastor Prince declared that the theme of the year for 2022 is The Year of Rest and Acceleration. He went on to share that forgiveness and healing were provided for when the blood of Jesus was sprinkled on the mercy seat. Immediately, I could sense the Lord’s hand on my shoulder, and I uttered a simple “amen” to receive His healing touch and rested in His finished work.

That afternoon, I took a nap, and when I woke up, I realized the pain in my right shoulder was gone! I received my healing manifestation in my sleep. I was overjoyed when I could reach for my left shoulder with my right arm. I was also able to turn my right forearm without experiencing any pain!

Praise the Lord for His healing touch. I believe this is the first of many accelerations of His grace and blessings for the year 2022!
