Breast Cancer Healed through Fasting and the Power of God

For seven months before coming to the prayer mountain, I could not eat and was unable to walk. If I drank even a little bit of water, I would vomit and cough so that I could not stand up. My heartbeat was weak and I was taking many different kinds of Chinese medicine to try to make it stronger. I received countless injec- tions, but each was effective for only a short while.

I was in great despair when I learned that I had cancer of the breast. My relatives were also worried and gave me much advice. They suggested that I go to Seoul, where there are more modern medical facilities. So I arrived in Seoul on March 7th and entered the hospital. I spent much time and money for the ex- amination and was told that I had an advanced case of breast cancer. They said there was no hope except through surgery.

I did not want an operation and thought that I would rather die than have one. When I decided against an operation, my heart was at peace. I com- plained one day because I had six radiation treatments while other patients had just one. Then the head resi- dent doctor told me that my cancer could not be healed through radiation.

Ten years before, I had experienced the healing touch of God for the first time. Five years before that my feet had begun to have inflammation in the joints and I entered the hospital. Just before I was to undergo an operation, I remembered the words of the Bible recorded in John 11. Lazarus had died and Jesus was arriving at the house. As Martha greeted Jesus she said, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died." I cancelled the operation and returned home. When I was carried back to the car, my family was in much sorrow, but my heart was full of faith and I earnestly sought the Lord. That night I listened to the voice of the Lord through His Word. "And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him and Jesus saith unto them, 'Believe ye that 1 am able to do this?' They said unto him, 'Yea Lord'" (Matthew 9:28). As I read this Scripture my feet were completely healed. After that I dedicated myself to God and serv- ed Him even in the small things.

So it was while I was in the hospital that day, a pastor visited me and suggested that I go ask Pastor Yonggi Cho to lay hands upon me and pray for my healing. I went to the church and was able to meet Pastor Cho. He asked me about my disease and laid hands on me and said, "Let's pray to our God." By faith I continued to follow Pastor Cho's instructions. The doctors and my family looked at me with doubt in their hearts at my decision to trust God to heal me. I went to the prayer mountain with my sister to fast for seven days. On the fourth day of my fast, the Lord completely healed me. Hallelujah! I give thanks to God for His mercy and I give Him all the glory. I have rededicated my life to serve and worship my Lord.
