I Thought Healing Was for “Special” Christians—Then This Happened

For more than 20 years, Judy Deese was a committed Christian—but she believed praying for the sick and seeing miracles was something God used other people to do. Then everything changed.

After witnessing a healing at her own church, Judy’s daughter challenged her to pray the same way. Judy then commanded her daughter’s shorter leg to grow in the name of Jesus—and watched it move right in front of her. That moment changed the way Judy understood the Christian life.

Since then, Judy shares that she has prayed for people dealing with pain, physical conditions, blindness, and much more—and has witnessed miraculous healing! In this episode of Sips of Grace, Judy shares why she once thought healing was for pastors and “special” Christians, the moment that changed her perspective, how she began praying for others, what she does when she doesn’t immediately see a result, and why Jesus—not the person praying—is the healer. “It’s not just the special people… it’s all of us.”
