Healing Testimonies

Testimony by Mrs Man Kim Ling

GOD HEALS!

I want to testify of God's faithfulness to His word regarding healing be it big or small requests. My left heel had been injured by the wrong kind of footwear I bought. As a result of prolonged use, the pain was so unbearable that I had to walk in such a manner that puts more stress on the right leg, which caused the knees to hurt as well. I had experienced this years ago, remembering that at the rate that I'm going, the other heel would start to hurt and the whole process would fall into a vicious cycle, taking many months of treatment & rest to overcome.

At the same time one of my finger tips developed an allergic reaction to household cleaning agents as mild as the dishwashing liquid. Blisters formed. They were itchy and filled with liquid or pus, often spread to a time where the nails would start tearing from the flesh, just at the tip. This is one of my worst fears, as one who had eczema since young, this means long time suffering & possible spread to other fingers. Unless I don't use my hands including cleaning my daughter or prepare food for a long period of time, no amount of medication can help. As for eczema, the doctor said nothing can be done as this was identified as a hereditary disease, only way is to continue the use of steroid creams, which can only relief the symptoms but not able to cure. Once the skin is disturbed with an insect bite or heat rash, the spot will develop into the eczema condition that I can't run away from.

I am used to hearing testimonies about miraculous healing such as the handicapped made whole and major illnesses gone etc. But I have not come across any healing testimonies about chronic illnesses such as eczema, or non-life-threatening pain being shared. So I kept telling myself that it is nothing really that big or serious anyway to ask God for the trouble. I'll just go through the trouble of hopping around if necessary on days when the heel gets real painful and as for the skin, bear with the itch or use the medication if it gets worse, knowing that the steroid cream is not a good alternative.

During one of Stanley's sharing at the House of Healing, he mentioned:

James 4-6:

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

I realized that there is pride in trying to cope with my condition even though they seemed insignificant.

James 5-14:

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Stanley also explains that once hands are laid on me, it means that I'm set apart to be healed. Therefore I should start thanking God and keep exercising my faith.

So out I came to receive healing. As I depart from the sanctuary, I can feel the pain leaving my heel and within 2 hours, just before bedtime, the pain was totally gone. I can identify with the man who was healed in Act3:8 ...walking and jumping and praising God." Praise the Lord! He is so good!

The blister on my finger eventually dried up and the skin returned to normal within a week, during which no medication is needed again. So I resume my daily routine of washing and cleaning, and best of all, playing the piano. I continue to give thanks for the healing over the other eczema spots on my body and I believe that "by His stripes, I am healed." Amen.
