Healed from Paralysis

I'll write for my grandfather, who has already passed on. In the 1950's, my grandfather worked in New Orleans picking up and delivering laundry to homes. He had a terrible accident, and my father, 5 years old at the time, recalls my grandfather pulling himself up the steps to their shotgun style home. He was admitted to Charity Hospital, where my father remembers being smuggled up the back staircase to visit his dad. It was confirmed that he was paralyzed... he would never walk again. Despite this news from the doctors, my grandfather prayed fervently through the night. That night, he saw Jesus, shining brightly before him. The Lord said, "Joseph, get up and walk." My grandfather was healed, and shared his testimony repeatedly over the years.

The Purpose

While attending a Christian college, I learned that the Holy Spirit only acted in certain ways up until about the first century. The Spirit worked in special ways to confirm the truth about Jesus Christ, especially since the Bible was not yet in print for the people. But since then, I have come to experience otherwise. Yes, the Spirit did work in that way... but He still moves, often in wondrous ways. And honestly, He's been nagging me (in His gentle way!) for a long time to put this blog together. So, here goes. This blog is here to point to Him. It will be a place for testimonies from various people to be posted. Because He's still at work. May this glorify Him.
