Gradually, he began to feel pain in his shoulders. Every day, the pain became worse. At times, he would have to avoid training his shoulders. Within a year, his shoulder pain impacted his daily activities. It started to bother Peter acutely. He was scared about his shoulder pain affecting his training process. Each day, Peter would pray for his shoulder pain to lessen.

Things worked out for Peter on one fine day when he followed the prayers repeated in the 700 Club. Gordon Robertson, the CEO of Christian Broadcasting Network, was about to chant his words of knowledge. In a recent interview with 700 Club Interactive, Peter explained what he did next. He stated :

So I decided in that moment to do something I’d never done before which was to just join in agreement and pray along with Gordon and as I put my left hand on my shoulder. In that moment, I felt the holy spirit just come all over me and I knew I was being healed and I just began to praise God and said I received this healing.”
