Healed Of Leprosy And More

I take this opportunity to thank my Lord Jesus Christ who is my everything. He has done so much for me that this is the least I can do to glorify His wonderful name.

The reason I started writing this testimony was because He had just healed me from a very painful toe injury. He has been healing me from all sorts of sickness and pain right from the time when I was just a little boy about 30 years ago in a remote town called Kuala Lipis in Malaysia.

When I was 6, I came down with a skin disease that left most of my face in big white patches. Strangely the patches were only on my face. Being the only child in the family, my parents were obviously worried and took me to the best skin specialists in Malaysia. All the money spent and all the medicine taken didnt solve the problem and this went on for 5 years. Not to mention all the painful and sarcastic taunts in school.

In 1975 we flew down to India to see a  renowned skin specialist. Some tests were made and a small section of the flesh on my face was removed for further tests.

A few weeks later the results came back. It was supposed to be the early stages of leprosy. My parents were close to being in a state of panic. By this time, my mother had accepted Christ as her personal saviour. She decided to take my case to the church elders and pastors. At the Kuala Lumpur Pentecostal convention, we met the senior sister who told us that she will pray for me. At the same time she told me to praise God everyday for 15 minutes for the healing He was going to give me.

Amazingly all the bright patches on my face just disappeared after a few months. What the doctors failed to do over a period of six years, God did it for me in less than 5 months. Today my face looks fine and I look as normal as the next guy. The only scar left being the one made by the specialist in India !!

Then about 8 years ago, I started developing a chronic backache. It used to get so painful, I had trouble breathing. I couldnt sleep at nights and had problems at work since being in the computer line required me to sit long hours in front of the PC. Going to the doctor wasnt very helpful since all of them would just give me some pain killers. The problem will go away for a while but will be back again. I tried changing everything from my chair in the office to the mattress at home but nothing helped.

Finally I turned to God and placed this problem at His feet. I stopped taking all pain-killers and depended solely on Him to deliver me from the pain. About 2 days later, I had a dream. In the dream, my mother who had passed away by then, and another person whom I have never seen before were praying hard and chasing away an ugly looking being. The creature had the shape of a human but its skin looked like it was covered in some oily susbstance. The creature ran away and the next morning I woke up without any pain. And I havent had a backache ever since.

Back to my toe now. Well by know I should have been a little more intelligent when it comes to having Jesus Christ as my personal doctor. But sadly, I happen to be one who gets easily discouraged when I fall sick. Despite my past experiences, I still rush to the doctor first before I take my problems to my Saviour.

About a month back, on Easter day, I accidently kicked my big toe on a table. It was just a small knock which quickly turned into a nightmare. The toe-nail had cut into the flesh and it turned septic. The pain was unbearable. In 2 days I wasnt able to walk anymore. I informed the pastor and the servants of God were upholding me in their prayers. After a few days the pain left, the toe started getting better and the swelling went down.

The reason why I am writing this is to share with others the wonderful things Jesus has done for me. Time and time again He has pulled me out of all sorts of problems. Once again He has shown me that He still heals even though I get discouraged and give up hope easily. We are healed by His stripes. He paid a terrible price so that we could receive this wonderful gift.
