Miracles - Paralytic Walks

Placita Outa severely damaged her spinal cord in an accident. Doctors performed many surgeries to repair it, but the final surgery left her paralyzed. She had to rely on crutches and the help of others to move around.

Then she attended the CfaN Gospel Campaign in her city of Karu. More than 1.3 million people attended over five days of meetings. Multitudes were saved, delivered, healed and filled with the Holy Spirit. During prayer for the sick at the end of Thursday’s service, Jesus completely healed Placita, too!

Daniel Kolenda remembers: “While still praying for the sick, I suddenly heard a great commotion coming from the right side of the field. A large group of people began to shout for joy. When I looked, I saw crutches held over someone’s head and moving toward the platform very quickly.

“Normally when people come forward to testify of their healings, staff members test them to make sure their claims are genuine before coming up to speak. But when I saw this woman’s face, I knew that Jesus had done something wonderful. So I called her up to the platform immediately.”

Thomas Gana also attended that meeting and witnessed this story firsthand. He commented on Daniel’s blog later that night: “I was standing very close to the lady with the spinal cord injury who got healed tonight. For most of the meeting, she sat down on a chair, standing up for short intervals with the aid of her crutches.”

“I often turned back to look at her; I believed God for her healing, too. As Evangelist Kolenda prayed, she stood up. As the prayer went on, suddenly I felt somebody hit me and scream, ‘I can walk!’ She started running through the crowd, leaving her crutches behind. I was the one who picked them up and ran after her. I wanted to give them to her before climbing the stage to meet the man of God.”

Placita came on the platform with her sister, who was in total shock. Through the entire testimony, the two of them embraced, wept and worshiped God for the miracle. It was very moving. Not only did Placita receive her healing that night, but she also gave her heart to Jesus. Later she said: “I think it was just for me that they organized a Campaign in Karu.”
