I Was Hit by a Car on an Electric Scooter: Jesus Healed My Back Pain.

From Back Pain to Healing. How Ariana Received Her Miracle
Life often throws unexpected challenges our way, testing our resilience and faith. For Ariana Johnson, a 20-year-old caregiver from Kentucky, one such trial came in the form of a life-altering accident that left her battling debilitating back pain and the emotional toll of recovery. Her story is one of perseverance, faith, and, ultimately, healing.
The Accident That Changed Everything
Ariana’s life was upended by her accident. The impact left her with a cracked disc in her lower back and neck. Doctors warned of a long road to recovery, with surgery seeming inevitable. The pain was so severe that even basic movements became torturous. In her own words:
“I was hit by a car while riding a scooter one night,” Ariana shares. “When I was rushed to the hospital, they told me I had a crack in the lower disc of my back and in the disc of my neck. They said I might need surgery, and I was distraught.”
“For weeks, even the simplest movements felt impossible. I could hardly get through therapy sessions. My muscles were spasming, and I couldn’t even do any exercises for the first week or so. If anyone touched me, my body would wince in pain. It was an incredibly difficult two months.”
“I couldn’t roll over in bed or walk long distances. My lower back pain was the worst part of it. Nobody could touch me without my body wincing in pain. It was a very hard two months,” she recalls.
The physical toll was immense, and the emotional burden was equally heavy. To her, simple tasks that we all take for granted felt impossible.
The Struggle of the Lower Back Pain
Ariana’s recovery journey was grueling. Despite her commitment to treatment plans, exercises, and consultations with multiple doctors, progress was slow.
“My lower back was the worst of it. And I went throughout my treatment. I did my treatment plans and my exercises, and I have seen multiple doctors, and they got me as well as they said that I could be.”
A Glimmer of Hope Amid the Pain
Ariana worked diligently with her medical team, determined to regain her health. But even after completing treatment, lingering chronic back pain remained.
“But even after finishing treatment, I still had a lot of lower back pain because I already had chronic pain before the accident,” Ariana explains. “They told me they couldn’t do anything about that. I just had to learn to live in pain.”
Feeling defeated yet unwilling to give up, she turned to faith. One night, while watching a ministry video by Pastor Vlad, Ariana encountered a healing deliverance service. Skeptical but intrigued, she listened to testimonies of others who had experienced healing through faith.
“At first, I didn’t think I could be healed,” she admits. “I had seen so many messages, but Pastor Vlad was so confident. His ministry had testimonies of healing, and I thought, ‘Maybe it’s my turn. Maybe I can benefit from this.'”
With years of lower back pain plaguing her since she was 13, Ariana, decided to place her trust in Jesus Christ. She prayed and underwent a deliverance session, opening herself to the possibility of healing. She describes:
“I just had faith, prayed the prayer, and went through deliverance,” Ariana says. “Initially, I couldn’t even sit up straight off the floor. My lower back pain was unbearable, and I couldn’t walk anywhere without stopping. But then, after I prayed, I tested it out.”
A Miraculous Transformation
The results were astonishing. In a moment of vulnerability, Ariana tested her body.
“The first thing I did was lay on my back to see if I could sit up—and I could! No pain, no sound of my bones moving! The shouts I let out and the tears I cried that day were all glory to God,” Ariana says.
Praise the Lord! Ariana felt a burden lifted, and relief and joy washed over her as she realized she was free.
Life After Healing
The healing marked the beginning of a new chapter for Ariana.
“Now, I can run! I can walk. I manage to get 2,000 steps in every morning now.”
Previously confined by pain, she found freedom in movement. Bus rides, once fraught with nausea, became enjoyable again. Most significantly, she no longer relied on pain medication.
“I needed medicine all the time—around the clock, multiple times a day. But now? I haven’t taken any medication since that deliverance video. It’s been a wonderful change,” she says with gratitude. “I haven’t had to take any medication to go to work. No pain, no medication!”
A Testament to Faith and Resilience
Ariana’s story is more than just a personal victory—it’s a testimony to the healing power of God. She now lives with a renewed spirit, determined to serve others and spread her message of hope.
With her back healed, Ariana feels like a new person.
“I feel like a weight has been lifted. I don’t have to be the one sitting on the sidelines anymore. Long rides don’t leave me stuck in pain for days. I can enjoy life again!”
Her promise to God is unwavering:
“I promise to continue to serve Him. We’ve come this far, and I know we can go even farther.”
Ariana’s Message of Hope
Ariana’s healing has deepened her faith and given her a powerful message to share.
“For anyone facing issues or problems: You can be healed! Nothing is too big for our God. Our God is greater than your situation, pain, struggle, or hurt. You can truly be healed from anything,” she affirms.
Her promise to God is simple but profound:
“I promise to continue to serve Him. We’ve come this far, and I know we can go even farther.”
