This is how a lovely touching story I have found.
I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
When Sarawak-born Chris Wong met Mandy Shih from Taiwan, it was love at first sight. After a 4 year courtship, they got married on 2 June 2012 and lived happily ever after… Until they started planning to have a baby, that is.
After spending Chinese New Year 2013 with Mandy’s parents, Chris returned to Malaysia while Mandy stayed back in Taiwan. As a precaution to make sure everything was alright, she went for a medical checkup on 25 February. She thought it would just be a routine checkup but she received very distressing results: the doctors found a tumour on her right ovary. Mandy and Chris were completely shell-shocked.
Meanwhile back in Malaysia, Chris’ church and life group members generously blessed him with money and he flew to Taiwan to be with his wife. Not wanting Mandy to go under the knife due to the risks involved, the pair continued praying and fasting. Then on 16 March, just a few days before her operation, Mandy went for another scan and lo and behold, there was no tumour to be found! Initially they didn’t believe it themselves.
“How can a 7 cm tumour go missing if it wasn’t for God who took it away?” Chris declared, “So we asked the doctor whether Mandy still needed to for the operation and the doctor said ‘No!’”
They excitedly told everyone the astonishing news but as word travelled, it was met with skepticism and disbelief. Except for Mandy’s parents and the people praying for them, many others were doubtful and didn’t believe that God had removed the tumour. They thought that the doctor had made a mistake and urged Mandy to go for another scan. Before long, even Mandy and Chris were influenced by the skepticism of others and they too started questioning if the doctor had done a bad job.
Looking back, Chris said “You see the enemy was trying to tear our faith apart. When God is at work, the enemy is also actively sowing disbelief.” But thankfully God soon intervened. They felt the Lord saying to them, “Which is more important? My promises to you or other people’s opinion? I am the healer, not them. Stay focused.” So they stopped dwelling on the lies of the enemy and focused instead on the faith that God had given them and on the healing that took place. This time, another verse came to them:
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;It was Chris and Mandy’s earnest desire to testify of God’s healing to people so that others would know that they could receive His healing too. “We were so sure that this tumour was crushed by the blood of Jesus,” they remarked. So on 18 March 2013, Mandy went for yet another scan at a different hospital. In fact, they ended up going to the same hospital that the President of Taiwan went to and the second scan revealed what they already knew to be true: The tumour was well and truly gone.
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” – Isaiah 55:11
In Chris’ own words, “Two doctors confirmed that the tumour was gone and that Mandy didn’t need to go for the operation. All because one Big Doctor said ‘By my stripes you are healed.’ And guess what? Even the unbelievers praise God for it. I am going around telling this testimony, encouraging people that there is still a God who heals and He wants to heal you so badly. But God can’t do it if we are not willing to walk this healing journey with Him.”
To God be all the glory and praise!
This is experienced by myself who was healed for suffering of bleeding for abt 10 years from my first period till my adolescent and to adult. My period would last for a month to half a year. One day I was dying on bed helplessly. I whispered to the Lord that if its time for me to be with him, take me away and I am willing to follow.
I seek consultations from so many specialists from clinics to clinics and from hospitals to hospitals under the care of all these practitioners. None was working. Each alter call sessions, I would humbly bow unto him and seek for his forgiveness. Day by day and year by year went pass. I wasn't healed. God is very miraculous in his own timing.
On very fine sunday service, as usual, I walked to the alter and I humbly bowed to him. My senior pastor was praying for me. I was directly filled with holy spirit and my whole body fell onto the ground. I recalled back the only word I was yearning for was " Lord, please heal me , here I come to u with faith".
My period stopped directly. It was just exactly as how Jesus healed the bleeding women in the bible. Throughout so many years, I sheltered myself from joining activities and camps. Now, am set free.
Few years back, I was with faith for Cambodia mission trip. My topic of preaching was healing. I cried earnestly towards the Lord when I see humble ones bow unto him the moment I closed my sermons. I realized by a simple faith of testimony, I have made a great difference.
Few days back, my cell member was calling me for another mission to Cambodia. My Combodia friend of mine is encouraging me to come back. The question is am I willing to follow his will and go and make disciples of all nations?
Deep from my heart, I wanted to forgone all reality and set forth to preach good news especially for Cambodians. Yet my heart is heavy hearted. "I need the passion of Christ to melt my heart" I cry.
I KNOW HIS LOVE WILL NEVER FAILS FOR THOSE WHO COME TO HIM.
