Jonathan Pollard is a student at the International House of Prayer in Kansas
City, Missouri. I added him as a friend on Facebook earlier this year, because I saw that he was making posts about the revival
that had been taking place on his campus. Then during this past month, I watched Jonathan get healed of a paralyzing disease
he had that had bound him to a wheelchair! He literally got up and ran around the worshippers at one meeting, with no pain!
He has since had his healing confirmed by his doctor (who was quite shocked).
Here is video footage of Jonathan as he receives and testifies of his healing.
It is very inspiring!
For more on Jonathan's former disease, here is something he once wrote to
explain it:
"So this is what I have. It's called Guillain-Barré syndrome and it is
a
disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the
peripheral nervous system. The first symptoms of this disorder
include varying degrees of weakness or tingling sensations in the legs. In many instances the weakness and abnormal sensations
spread to the arms and upper body. These symptoms can increase in intensity until certain muscles cannot be used at all and,
when severe, the patient is almost totally paralyzed. In these cases the disorder is life threatening - potentially interfering
with breathing and, at times, with blood pressure or heart rate - and is considered a medical emergency. Such a patient is
often put on a respirator to assist with breathing and is watched closely for problems such as an abnormal heart beat, infections,
blood clots, and high or low blood pressure. Most patients, however, recover from even the most severe cases of Guillain-Barré
syndrome, although some continue to have a certain degree of weakness.
"Guillain-Barré syndrome can affect anybody. It can strike at any age and both sexes
are equally prone to the disorder. The syndrome is rare, however, afflicting only about one person in 100,000. Usually
Guillain-Barré
occurs a few days or weeks after the patient has had
symptoms of a respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection.
"Occasionally surgery or vaccinations will trigger the syndrome.
After the first
clinical manifestations of the disease, the symptoms
can progress over the course of hours, days, or weeks. Most people
reach
the stage of greatest weakness within the first 2 weeks after
symptoms appear, and by the third week of the illness 90
percent of
all patients are at their weakest."
