“Get up”
Woman walking after divine healing, Mobile AL. Delia Knox's wheelchair testimony. Paralyzed for 22 years, then walked. Spinal injury miracle healing.

Twenty-Two Years

In 1987, Delia Knox was in a car accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. For 22 years, she led worship from her wheelchair at her church in Mobile, Alabama.

Get Up

On August 27, 2010, at a conference in Mobile, evangelist Nathan Morris prayed for the sick. When he reached Delia, something shifted.

"Get up," she felt God say.

Her legs, paralyzed for over two decades, began to move. With help, she stood. Then, supported at first, she took steps. The crowd erupted. Video footage spread worldwide.

Everything Changed

"I always believed God could heal me," Delia said afterward. "I just didn't know when."

In the following weeks, Delia's strength increased. She walked more. Medical examinations confirmed what seemed impossible - function returning to long-dormant nerves.

Twenty-two years of worship from a wheelchair. Twenty-two years of believing. Then, in a moment, everything changed.
