As a Christmas special, the 700 Club released the story of a woman who found miraculous healing one Christmas Eve from a 19-year-old accident.

"I partnered up with God because this accident was bigger than I could handle and I knew that I needed to know Jesus more in my life now than ever before," Ema McKinley told CBN in an interview recounting her testimony of healing.

In 1993, McKinley fell from a storage loft at work, where her foot got lodged in between boxes as her body hung upside down. As a result of the accident McKinley fell into a state of reflex sympathetic dystrophy, known as RSD, a chronic and progressive nerve disorder that left her entire body in severe pain.

Later on, she was bound to a wheelchair as her condition got worse. Her feet started to grow crooked and her neck and spine got so twisted up that her body was locked into an awkward and painful position.

One Christmas Eve, McKinley fell out of her chair with no one to help her up. As she lay on the floor, McKinley says that Jesus came into her room and reached down to her. As she slowly got up, she felt her body get straightened out and the pain started leaving her body.

A few hours after, her two sons and grandchildren walked in to find McKinley completely healed of her disability.

McKinley's story was featured in CBN as a Christmas week special as the story inspires thousands of Christians everywhere.

McKinley has authored a book titled "Rush of Heaven" that recounts the miracle that she experienced that Christmas eve. The book has been rated with five out of five stars, and sells for $11.99 on Amazon. "Rush of Heaven" was published by Zondervan as an MP3 CD in Nov. 2014.
