Cycling Like Never Before!

Ian has been able to ride his bike better than ever before, since God has healed his legs to be even lengths.

On Sunday, 14 November 1999, at the Hastings Apostolic Church through a word of knowledge from God, you had a witness to conditions that I suffered from and you called me forward for prayer. I had lower back pain and a short leg with pain also going down the leg. As you prayed I could sense Jesus’ mighty power and a growing sensation and other strange sort of feelings. After returning back to my seat I could not cross my legs because the lower back heat reconstruction process that I could feel was amazing.


On Monday morning, I had a sense to ring my GP and make an appointment to see him. It was on Wednesday, and at 10:00 AM I started to bike from Flaxmere to Havelock North, a thirty-four kilometre return trip. I allowed on hour to get there but it took only thirty-five minutes. I have never biked that far before because of the pain to my back and leg. My doctor was at the local hospital delivery room so I wasn’t called into the surgery until 11:15 AM. He examined me and entered it on the computer. I came out of the door but stood outside the surgery door scratching my head. He called to me from the waiting room door to inquire what was wrong. I replied that I really need it on paper for a reference. He said he couldn’t do it that day but to leave it until the next time that he saw me. I didn’t see him again until 2 February 2000, and he wrote this testimony: This gentleman is a patient of mine. He has had a growth of his left leg, i.e., it is longer in the last year.


On this visit to the doctor it took me approximately just under thirty minutes to bike one way. I ended up biking about fifty kilometres in total that day. The doctors have been trying to get me to put my bike down for a few years now. My new pair of long legs are both the same length. Praise to the Lord.
