I realize I'm asking to be stoned, but please just read my post and honestly consider it before you pick up a rock, and when you do go to throw it, please remember to get a good plant and let the throw come from your leg, not just your arm. What was the condition she had before she was healed? Was she paralyzed and unable to walk, or does she use a wheelchair because walking is difficult? Did she get up on her own, or was she helped out of the chair? We can see that she is getting a lot of support on the way back to her seat.I ask because I have seen a lot of people who use wheelchairs because they have difficulty walking get up in the midst of an intensely emotional altar service as the band and the singers play. These same people are back in their wheelchairs the next day. I have seen some of them get up multiple times. My father-in-law has MS and has been healed more times than I can count. Each time, he would throw his cane down and walk around the church with assistance from someone else. He has also been swallowed by guilt and doubt over having lost his healing more times than I can count. In fact, people have told him that he must be losing his healing because he is a sinner.If you use a wheelchair because you have intense difficulty walking, it is no miracle for you to get up and be helped back to your chair. In fact, it is cruel to tell that person God has worked a miracle for them, and then to leave them wondering, once the emotional high has worn off, how they lost what God did in their lives.On the other hand, if you're a paraplegic, or if the medical condition that made it hard for you to walk goes away and you are still out of the wheelchair weeks and months later, then that is a miracle. By the way, I have seen people be healed of chronic conditions and remain healed months and years later. They have evidence from their doctors to support that the condition they had doesn't affect them any longer. If you ask them for evidence of their healing, they are delighted to show it to you, because they were genuinely healed by God and they have proof.If this woman was a paraplegic or was completely unable to walk, this is an amazing miracle. If she was able to walk with difficulty and now can walk without difficulty, this is an amazing miracle. But I believe it is worthwhile to know more of the story. I do not believe it is appropriate to attribute non-miraculous events to the Holy Spirit. He is a mighty God who works miraculous healings among his people. If this was one of them, praise the Lord! But if not, then this woman hasn't had anything more than an emotional experience, and she's likely to be filled with sorrow when she returns to her wheelchair.
