My grandson Aaron Quentin Goh suffered from eczema since he was about 2 months
old. He scratch his head constantly because of the
severe itch. As his grandfather, it was very painful
to see him scratch his head and body till they bled.
We
took him to a skin specialist and prayed hard that
the medicine would cure him. For a while, the medicine
worked and he appeared to be cured. However, he later
developed a more severe form of eczema where all his
folding areas became swollen and inflammed. We returned
to the skin specialist who told us to keep applying
the cream he prescribed and "to be patient". He told
us that the medicine will help overcome the itch and
hopefully after 5 to 6 years, Aaron would grow out
of his condition. As grandparents, we were upset and
appalled by his flippant reply.
On 22 March 2000, we sent Aaron to KK Children's Hospital because the eczema
had spread all over his body and even on his face.
It was difficult and worrisome to see our only grandson
suffer such agony.
During our prayer and devotion time one morning, the Lord reminded me how Pastor
Tay once prayed for a friend's son who suffered from
a similar condition and was healed. I called Pastor
Tay and he asked me to bring Aaron to his office strightaway.
When
we arrived, he took Aaron on his lap and playfully
talked to him. He then laid his hands on Aaron's body
and prayed for him.
He rebuked the eczema, spoke healing into Aaron's body
and covered him with the blood of Jesus. The very next
morning, my son and his wife found dried skin on Aaron's
bed. To their joy and amazement, they found that the
welts had dried up! Subsequently, my grandson's condition
improved tremendously.
Pastor Tay came to visit us on 14 April to see how Aaron was faring. We told
him that except for some rashes, he was very well.
Pastor said that he would ask God for complete healing
and not just partial healing. He once again took Aaron
on his lap and prayed for all the rashes to be gone
in Jesus' Name. My grandson is so much better now.
He is indeed a living testimony of God's healing power
and grace. We thank and praise God for His awesome
power.
To God be the glory ! |
