Healing

In mid-December 2010, after a series of tests, I received a diagnosis of lung cancer, stage 4. There were lesions in my brain, nodules on my adrenal glands and my lymph nodes were also swollen. The bones of my right shoulder and arm were also infected. The cancer-marker reading was 422 (normal = 0-5). The prognosis was that I had a few months left, without medical intervention or if I did not respond well to it.

In desperation I cried out to the Lord, declaring "Lord, I have faith that You will heal me; honour my faith. But first, increase my measure of faith!!!"

When I was 5 months pregnant, our baby was diagnosed as possibly having a pelvic kidney. In the initial scans, doctors could not locate her right kidney where they were supposed to be and believed that her right kidney was growing near her pelvic area. They also informed us that once the baby was born, an operation had to be performed to remove this non-functional kidney.

When I heard that, I thought "not again!" Our first child had to go through a heart operation when he was only 2 months old and I didn't want my second child to have to go through the same ordeal. I could not imagine having to see her get wheeled into the operating theatre and the feeling of being helpless. Both my husband and I were extremely emotional and we couldn't bring ourselves to even talk about our baby's condition.

A couple of months ago, I suffered a sudden gallbladder attack. At first I thought it was just the normal gastric pain. However, after I was warded for observation and an ultrasound scan, it was discovered that there were multiple stones in my gallbladder and was advised by the surgeon to have it out immediately to avoid any further complications.

I was anxious of course, but as I prayed over this situation, I was just filled with the Shalom Peace of God and knew that God would be with me through all this, and was confident in God that everything would be all right. I want to thank Covenant Vision too for all their concern and prayers.

I was having a pain on my left foot for at least three weeks and last Monday (29th March) after the Prayer Powerhouse meeting, I was telling Catherine, Lily and Jenny about it as we were leaving.

I asked them to pray for me and Catherine said "In Jesus' name be healed!" And the pain left! Just like that! God hears our prayers and sometimes it takes just a little faith to believe that God can heal the small pains too.
