In the
spring of 2004 I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. After doing research, the only
way I could have acquired this disease is when I was in the Navy 30 years
before. I had a regiment of inoculations before going overseas to Japan where I
was to be stationed. They used a gun that shoots the medicine into your body.
This gun spreads fine particles of blood and is used over and over. I picked up
the virus then and it was dormant in my body till 2004.
I had 2
specialists confirm the diagnosis and I was set up for a liver biopsy to find
out the extent of damage to my liver since this is an incurable liver disease.
The Sunday before the biopsy, I was in my small group class at church and told
them of my diagnosis and asked them to pray for me. The group leader sat a
chair in front of the class and all the men in the class came up and laid their
hands on me and prayed over me.
During the
prayers I felt such a comfort come over me and I knew the Lord was there…I
could feel Him. The following Monday, the Senior Pastor called me and asked me
if I could come to his office because he wanted to have the Elders of the
church and himself pray over me. I agreed and went to his office the next day.
We went into the Pastors conference room with all the Deacons and Elders of the
church and talked for about 30 minutes. Then the Pastor anointed me with oil
and all the Deacons, the Pastor and the Elders of the church all laid their
hands on me and the pastor prayed over me. During this, I felt the Spirit of
the Lord in an overwhelming fashion, come into me and cleanse my body.
After the
prayer was over I was in tears and told everyone in the room about the feeling
I had. Several minutes later I left and went home. On Wednesday I went into the
gastro-enterologist office and had my liver biopsy. When the results came back
the Doctor told me that he had never seen someone healed from Hepatitis C but
that was the case. He told me that I definitely had the disease but now I
didn’t. When he asked me what I had done, I proceeded to tell him about
what happened at my church and about Jesus Christ my Savior. I have made a
promise to the Lord that who ever will listen, I will tell the story of His
power and mercy. How the Lord healed me from this incurable disease and will
give Him all the glory. I have had my blood tested every 6 months since
this happened and I am fine…..no, I am more than fine, I am BLESSED. To God be
the Glory!!!!
