No more rashes
Philip Goh

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 !
