Power of the Word

PDFPrintEmail

For a very long time since I was young, I would have diarrhoea whenever I was scared or going through something new. Like a physical reaction to my nervousness, I would have diarrhoea 2 to 3 times a day before and on the very day of the event. It could be seeing my regular doctor, dentist, having a test, exam or an interview. Once the appointment or event was over, it stopped. Only my family knew about my condition.

One example was during the SARS period in the year 2003. I went to the National Dental Centre (NDC) for an appointment. I had been going to NDC since Nov 2000 and it was a very familiar place. Not only did I have diarrhoea 2 to 3 times the day before the appointment, but also twice on that day itself. The whole procedure of queuing up and going through the thermal scans for a temperature check made me more nervous. First scan for temperature – high. I was told to sit down, drink some water and waited for about 5 to 10 minutes. They took my temperature again – still high. I had to wait for yet another 5 or 10 minutes. They took my temperature yet again – still high. I had to tell them it was no use. The temperature was not going to come down. I was not having a fever. I was just nervous!

During one of the Sunday Services in mid 2009, Rev Francis suggested that I read the Bible as a storybook. I took his advice. Gradually, I began obeying the instructions in the Bible. I signed up for CVSOM's Certificate in Practical Christian Ministry in 2010 and was doing my assignment for the module 'The Power of The Word' on 5 May 2010 – Healing Power of the Word. I came across Exodus 15:26 and it dawned on me that I didn't have any symptoms of diarrhoea when I was taking the exams, working on course assignments and even during a practicum test for a course in Pre-School Teaching in 2009/2010 I was attending. I no longer had any physical reaction to the nervousness and without me knowing, I was healed! I thank and praise God!

On another assignment for the module 'Heal the Sick', I was reminded again of what Jesus had done for me. 1 Peter 2:24 tells us that He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds we have been healed. Indeed, there is POWER in His Word and I give all glory to God!
