I had my first attack of epilepsy (a sickness that attacks the nervous system of the brain) when I was 7 years old. I had to take 3 anti-epilepsy pills everyday. If I missed taking just one pill, I would get fits which would render me unconscious for a while. Not only that, I would be bedridden for 2 to 3 days after each attack. I was hospitalised for 2 days after a fits attack in January 2000. The doctors said that one more attack could result in brain damage or even death.

I have visited many neurologists and doctors in Indonesia, Australia, USA and Singapore. My mother, brother and uncles are all medical practitioners as well. They say that there is no cure for epilepsy.

My best friend Daniel brought me to Bethesda Cathedral to attend a healing service. During the service, I took a bold step of faith and responded to an altar call to receive healing from the Lord. As
Pastor Tay prayed for me, I felt something like a tingling sensation
flow into my body. I believed that at that moment I received healing.
told my wife and she too believed I was healed.

"I am alive today, only because God healed me."

From that day on, I took a bold step of faith to stop taking my
medicine immediately. My neurologist (a well-known professor in
Indonesia, Japan and Singapore), family doctor and brother
however, did not support my decision. Basically, no one trusted the
church healing service. I thank God that through it all, my wife
supported me. I am alive today, only because God healed me. The
doctors may say that there is no cure, but God has proven that no
sickness or disease can prevail over the Name of Jesus.

I would like to give my deepest appreciation to God who used Pastor Tay to pray for me. I would like to thank my best friend Daniel and his wife for introducing us to Bethesda Cathedral. I especially thank my wife for supporting my decision, and last but not least, my cell group members and friends for their prayers and support. Praise the Lord!
