Two Testimonies of Healing through Fasting and Prayer

For about four years I suffered from severe pain in various parts of my body. Gradually the pain became so intense that I could not go out either by bus or taxi. Therefore, I always stayed at home and was mis- erable.

I went to the hospital for an examination, and when the results came in I was told that I had inflammation of the joints as well as stomach and liver trouble. I continued the medical treatment because of the urging of my family, but it had little effect on my condition.

Finally, I entered the largest hospital in the city of Mokpo, a city in the southern part of Korea, but the doctors were unable to do anything to help me. I became steadily worse. At last I decided to go to Seoul to a large hospital, thinking perhaps I could find help there. In June, 1973, I entered the Red Cross Hospital where the results were the same. I continued to grow worse. I was so discouraged that I left the hospital and went home.

After arriving home, I was in deep depression and wanted to be alone. I did not want to see either my family or neighbors. I had taken all types of good medicine and had been to the best hospitals, but still my condition grew worse.

In February, 1975, I heard about the Full Gospel Prayer Mountain and how that all types of diseases are healed there for those who fast and pray. When I heard this I was filled with joy, for there was hope after all. I did not wait, but with my Bible and hymnbook I went to the prayer mountain where I began to fast and pray for ten days. As I continued fasting eight more days, God reached down and healed me.

I was so thankful for the mercy of Christ I continued to fast. Then I was filled with the Holy Spirit. How I thank Him for His grace. I literally jump with joy and walk with pleasure. Praise His Wonderful Name!

Healed of Severe Disease in the Mouth

About 28 years ago, sores developed inside my mouth. At first I did not pay much attention to them as I thought the sores would pass, but still they persisted and steadily became worse.

After some time, I entered the hospital for examination and treat- ment. Even with the treatment my mouth was not healed. Every time I ate any food, the pain in my mouth was excruciating. I felt so sorry for those of my family who constantly had to care for me that I wanted to die. I began to wander from hospital to hospital seeking some way to cure this dreadful disease.

Many skills of medicine were tried, but no one could cure my disease. During my wandering from hospital to hospital, I spent all my money and had to sell all my property to pay the medical expenses. I gave up all hope of living and hated myself and this disease that was destroying my life. Weeping and writhing in agony and pain, I waited for death to relieve me of this misery. During this time, many of my Christian friends advised me to come to church and trust in Christ, but I doubted the power of God. How could a God that I could not see heal me of a sickness that all medical science had no cure for?

Finally, after much persuasion, because I knew. I was dying I ventured out to the prayer mountain. As I stayed there, my doubts began to fade. I listened to many testimonies from different ones of how God healed them of all types of diseases. The desire to seek God with fasting and prayer became so intense that I could not resist any longer and decided to fast for nine days.

As I began to fast, I confessed all my sins of the past. I came unprepared to meet the Lord but He loved me, called me, and met me as I prayed. On the third day the unhealthy flesh inside my mouth began to fall off, and the pain began to disappear. All the sores were com- pletely healed as I fasted and prayed.

Although I did not know before that God was living, I met Him personally and experienced His power in my life. I came to the prayer mountain with unbelief, but the testimonies of those around me generated faith within me. As I fasted and prayed, God completely healed me. I know that Jesus is the Physician that is above every physician. I give all glory and praise to God.
