"I came to know of God's healing power,
that it is real
and relevant through my sister Sarah"
Some
years ago, I experienced a stinging sensation in my
abdomen but
did not find out what it was till March 1997. The
pain had worsened to such an extent, and the attacks
were
almost hourly, I rushed to see the doctor. Through
my doctor's referral, I took a barium meal test,
not once but twice. Both times the doctor confirmed
that
he had detected a hole in the area somewhere towards
the end of my stomach and where my small intestine
began. I was shocked by the news and did not inform
my family because I was fearful of the outcome. Once,
I was on my way to see my sister at her home when
the pain hit me hard. It was unbearable and I told
Sarah
about it. She placed her hands over me and prayed.
As she did so, I was surprised to feel a warm sensation
run through my body. The pain stopped right after that.
Praise God!
A few days later, I went for an arranged scope test to confirm the position of
the hole by a doctor at the Singapore General Hospital.
The doctor was unable to detect the hole which was
clearly shown on the previous X-ray. I knew then that
God had done a miracle for me and sealed that hole
in my stomach through prayer. God has always been there
for me when I needed Him most.
In
another critical life situation, my husband suffered
a heart attack and was rushed to the emergency unit.
I was extremely fearful and alone as none of our relatives
were around. There was no one to turn to and I was
reduced to tears.
| It was at that
moment in the hospital that I felt God's presence
with me, His quiet voice assuring me to be calm. "
I am with you, child, do not worry" were the words I heard distinctly. I felt such a strong comfort at that moment,
and knew that only God could still my deepest fears.
At the same time, a stranger walked up to me and
echoed the words I already knew, "Do not worry, he'll be fine." |

"I am with you, child, do not worry" |
I am filled with joy each time I think of how God's presence
fills and assures our being like no other
can, whenever we call upon Him. He knows our situation
and is right there we need Him. Glory to God!
