Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) claimed in her 2022 book that she once performed a miracle, healing a woman with tumors by laying hands on her and praying over her.
Bush, who defeated incumbent Rep. William “Lacy” Clay in 2020 and promptly aligned herself with the far left “Squad” — originally Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — made the claim in her 2022 book, but it went unnoticed until The New York Post’s Jonathan Levine published a pieceover the weekend.
“As I learned how to apply God’s Word to my life in new ways, I better understood the power that was already residing in me,” Bush wrote in ‘The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America.'”
“It was there, waiting for me to acknowledge it, to use it. I had the confidence to heal others with God’s power,” she continued, and went on to give several examples.
“One woman whom we met had several visible tumors on her torso. She was due to have surgery but lacked health insurance and living in the park. One of the tumors was particularly painful to her. I laid hands on her and prayed, and I felt that my hand was no longer touching a tumor. It shrank along with the others on her body,” Bush claimed.
She also claimed to have cured a toddler who couldn’t walk as the result of a brain bleed shortly after birth: “I carried the child from the prayer room in the back of the church out into the sanctuary … ‘Walk,’ I said gently to the three-year-old girl, ‘you will walk.’ And this girl took her first step. Then another, and another. She walked. Her grandmother walked into the sanctuary just in time to see the child take about two dozen steps. She screamed, and then she kept screaming. When she caught her breath, she looked at me in wonder and said ‘Praise God.’ She grabbed her granddaughter and walked with her out of the church.”
According to Levine, Bush’s miracle claims went largely unnoticed despite her book tour — but PBS’ Margaret Hoover did ask her about them.
The pastor of Bush’s church claimed to have healed the Congresswoman of COVID in 2021 by praying for her over the phone.
