Oral Roberts prayed for two or three thousand people to be healed one evening healing service , touching each of them with his right hand. He left the service totally exhausted. As he walked down a back corridor to return to his hotel, Oral noticed a young boy sitting in a room with his head bowed and a pair of crutches on the floor beside him. Oral asked him what he was doing, and he replied that he was waiting for Oral Roberts.
“I’m Oral Roberts,” Oral answered. “What do you want with Oral Roberts?”
“I’m supposed to be healed today!” the boy replied confidently.
Oral was so exhausted that he hardly knew what to say. He explained that he had just prayed for thousands of people and that he didn’t have the faith to pray for anyone else.
“I don’t know about that, Mr. Roberts,” the boy said. “I just know I’m supposed to be healed today.”
Seeing what great faith the boy had, Oral agreed to pray for him. But he told Willie that his faith would have to be strong because his own was so weak at that moment. Oral reached out and touched Willie Phelps, prayed a prayer for his healing, and then went back to his hotel. In his exhaustion, Oral was just hoping that the Lord would answer the prayer.
It wasn’t until one year later, when Oral and Evelyn went back to Roanoke for another crusade, that someone reintroduced Oral to little Willie Phelps. After hearing Willie’s testimony of healing, Oral invited him onto the stage, where Willie shared about his miracle.
Following Oral’s prayer that previous year, Willie had requested that his mother take his shoes off of his feet. He had put down his crutches and placed his bad foot on the floor. As Willie took a step, he realized that his bad leg, which had been shorter, was just as long as the other one. He walked across the room to his mother, then asked her, “When am I going to get those new shoes you promised me?”
Willie went to school the Monday following the crusade and walked in without his crutches. When his astounded classmates and teacher asked him what had happened, Willie shared the power of a God who heals: “A preacher prayed for me, and God healed me!” he proclaimed.
The whole school rejoiced at the wonder of a God who still heals people today.
Oral and Evelyn kept in touch with Willie Phelps for many years. The last time they spoke with him, he was fifty years of age and was still well and whole
