Healing Testimony by Endy Tan
I have been a Christian for a long time. But my belief in the healing power of God was very limited. Most of the time, when I prayed for healing, either for others or myself, I was eager to see healing take place instantaneously. If not, doubts, worries and fear will come to my mind.
However, after attending a series of healing teaching sessions conducted by our brother Stanley Lee during our cell group meetings, my mind is now renewed through the hearing of God's Word.
Thank God, through His Word, I know that healing belongs to us and it is God's will to heal us according to the Scriptures Isa 53:5 and Matt 8:17.
There were several occasions that I had experienced God's healing in my life and my love ones through praying and confession of His Word.
A few years ago, I remembered my daughter was suddenly having a high fever in the middle of the night. Both my husband and I panicked, as there was not any medicine left for her. At that moment we could not do anything but to trust in God. So we both laid our hands on her head and rebuked the fever. Within half an hour God took the fever away from her without any medication.
Another occasion happened three years ago. I had a root canal treatment and a crown was fixed on one of my right tooth. However, less than a year my right tooth started to give me problem again. Whenever I ate any food, I could feel the pain on my right tooth. I went to consult another dentist. The dentist recommended me to have another root canal treatment without which my condition could worsen. Due to the high cost of treatment (estimated S$600 - S$800 including fixing a new crown), I was not prepared to do so.
Since then, I started to pray to God every day. Many days went by, but my condition did not improve. However, I kept believing God's Word, kept speaking God's Word and thanking God that I was healed. For I believe that if I act according to His Word as in Hebrews 11:1, I would receive complete healing from Him. After few weeks of confessing my faith in God's Word that I am healed, I was amazed that I could enjoy my food without feeling any pain on my right tooth. Praise God! I was completely healed. Till now, no defect on my right tooth was traced during my yearly check-up.
In the recent case, my mum had suffered a painful swell in her left knee. When she woke up early in the morning, it was so painful that she could not get down from her bed. Without hesitation, my sister and I laid our hands on her left knee and claimed healing on behalf for my mum based on Mark 16:17-18. Not long after praying I felt a heat sensation like an electrical current passed through my hand to my mum's left knee. It affirmed me that my mum had received an instant healing touch from God. After resting half an hour on the bed, the pain on my mum's left knee gradually lifted and she rejoiced that she could able to get down from her bed to walk.
All glory to God! Through His Word we are made whole.
