Healing of Diabetes and More through Fasting and Prayer

I praise and worship the Lord for His blessings and for healing me in March, 1972. I was not a Christian at the time and worked at a paint shop. I had taken medicine for a long time because of bad colds. As I drank wine and took the medicine, the disease grew worse and worse. Finally I lost so much strength in my legs it was difficult to walk straight.

I went to inquire and found my symptoms meant diabetes. From then on I took medication for diabetes regularly and ate only a little food each day. Nothing seemed to relieve the pain in my body, and I was depressed. While I was taking the medicine I drank a lot of wine in order to keep my mouth from becoming dry. This, of course, was an excuse and very poor reasoning.

Even with the various Chinese medicines there was no relief. I wandered here and there looking for help. Finally I went to a fortuneteller and spent much money for him to repeat the useless sayings over me. This add- ed more worry and did nothing for my physical benefit. I went to many famous places to listen to fortunetellers and get medicine, but my condition worsened.

I always felt a terrible thirst, and intense pain would accompany urination. I became so weak I could not work any longer. Always after eating I would lie down to rest.

One evening I read a book entitled The Way to Look for Happiness, and I knew that if I prayed to God my burdens would be lifted. I talked to my wife about go- ing to church and she agreed to go sometime if I wanted to.

The next day my brother, who lives in the country, visited my home. He had been a born-again believer in Jesus for some time, but because of my hot temper and evil character had said very little to me about Christ. He only prayed for me. The first chance I had I went with him to early service at the church. I did not know how to pray, so I begged God to heal me. I felt the power of God in the service, and the words of the pastor helped build faith within me.

While talking with Deacon Lee, he asked me if it would be possible for me to spend some days away from home. I listened carefully to his words. He spoke of spending time in fasting and prayer at the prayer mountain. I followed his advice and went to the prayer mountain.

I registered and entered a small prayer cave. There I began to remember the times I had persecuted Christians who were witnessing to me about the love of God. I was so ashamed I wept before God and confess- ed my sins.

I asked my wife to return home as I wanted to remain to fast and pray. On the fourth day I began to feel dizzy, and I prayed that God would change my life. On the sixth day I noticed the color of my urine was different, and when I examined it with litmus paper it showed no trace of the disease. I was completely healed by the power of God. Praise the Lord!
