After 23 years in a wheelchair, woman walks again: Report

Last Updated 03 May 2018, 05:09 IST

According to the 'Daily Mail', 46-year-old Delia Knox was paralysed when a driver in a drunken state ploughed into her car on Christmas Day in 1987. But during a recent visit to a British spiritual healer, she suddenly stood up and walked.

Knox, whose "miracle moment" was filmed and has now become a favourite 'YouTube' clip, said: "This has turned my world upside down. I can stand in my kitchen and walk around my house."

The accident, which confined her to a wheelchair for 23 years, happened when she was on her way home after a church service in Toronto with her sister and brother-in-law.
She was a passenger in the car which was hit by a drink driver and bore the brunt of the impact. Her sister and brother-in-law and their children escaped with minor injuries.
Knox lost all feeling in her legs and had almost given up hope of walking again. When she agreed to attend a meeting with preacher Nathan Morris earlier this year, she had no idea healings were happening.

"I wanted to get in the presence of God. I knew it was an evangelistic meeting but I didn't know healings were taking place. To be honest I've stayed away from healing meetings.
"I've been pulled, plopped and dropped and rarely responded to altar calls. But Nathan Morris called my husband forward and I had no idea what was going on. I didn't want to make a scene when Nathan was praying for me.

"Then all of a sudden I felt a voice which I knew was the Holy Spirit saying to me, 'Get up', and I felt feeling in my legs and then faith came on me to walk. I walked and walked and felt I had entered another realm," she said
