Woman Miraculously Healed of Paralysis, Ema McKinley

On this episode of Divine Intervention, we are joined by Ema McKinley. Ema grew up in a Christian home in Iowa, then moved to Minnesota. She had a heart to work with disabled people, and did so for many years until a tragic workplace accident in 1993 left her partially paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Ema suffered severe pain from a neurological disorder called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) which left her neck and spine twisted. She suffered from this condition for over 18 years, all the while many doctors at the Mayo Clinic trying all types of treatments for her, but to no avail. All throughout her suffering, Ema remained faithful, praising God through her pain and never losing hope or faith. Finally, on Christmas Eve 2011, she experienced an amazing Christmas gift in the form of a divine intervention and a miraculous healing by Jesus. Today, after 18 years, much to the surprise and delight of her doctors, family and friends, Ema's spine is straight, and she is out of the wheelchair, walking on her own! Her unabridged story is contained in her new book Rush of Heaven. (See below.)
