Walking in God’s Healing – By Mira

I grew up with a cleft palate, which affected my speech until I had corrective surgery at age of 6. Even after the surgery, I still received negative comments about my speech, and it has left me insecure about singing and public speaking.

In recent years though, I’ve experienced God’s healing in this area of my life. 13 years after the surgery, through God’s healing, my speech has been fully restored!

Recently, I learned the song Cornerstone, and it really spoke to me when I first heard it. I felt like God was trying to tell me something through it, reminding me that no matter the imperfections or struggles I’ve faced, He is my foundation and my strength. Christ is my firm foundation and my strength. This song has been a reminder that God can heal and restore every area of our lives, even the parts that feel broken or unfixable.

As I continue to walk in His healing, I’m learning to let go of my insecurities and trust that He’s already made me whole. I share this in the hope that someone else reading this may be encouraged to trust God with their own struggles, knowing that His healing is real and powerful. His timing is perfect, and His love covers every fear, every insecurity and every challenge. 

Healed by His Grace – by Mira

More than a year ago, I began experiencing a abnormal numbness from my leg all the way up to my back. At first, I tried to brush it off, thinking it was nothing serious, but the discomfort didn’t go away so I decided to visit a neurologist. I was admitted to the hospital, expecting just an overnight stay to get a MRI check, but that one night turned into a whole week. That’s when I received the diagnosis: Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

For those who may not know, MS is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells. Instead of fighting off pathogens, my antibodies were attacking my spinal cord.

I felt completely lost, overwhelmed, and scared. My A Level exams were just two months away, and I was already dealing with personal struggles at home.

However, in the middle of that storm, Aunty Vanita (Pastor Joseph’s wife) prayed for me. She declared that this disease was not from God, and she reminded me of something powerful: I am a healthy girl in God’s eyes.

After being discharged and going through rounds of steroid treatment and further tests, I returned to my room. I felt vulnerable, broken, and unsure of what the future held. I cried out to God and in that moment, I felt something indescribable. It was a spiritual hug, but I felt it physically. A warmth that wrapped around me. I truly believed that was God’s healing touch.

Medically, MS has no cure, only treatments to slow it down. If I were to accept the diagnosis, I would need monoclonal antibody injections twice a year for the rest of my life.

Except, because of God’s healing, I didn’t have to. No doctor, no test, no prescription could give me the kind of peace and assurance I felt from God. That overwhelming comfort was all the confirmation I needed to believe that I had been healed, even when doctors were still unsure.

Later on, I faced another test of faith. I started feeling numbness in my toe, just a small part of my body but it brought back fear. Was it a relapse? My mum reminded me to pray first before rushing to the doctor. So, Aunty Vanita prayed with me again, and she received confirmation from God that it was not a relapse.

When I went back to the neurologist, he confirmed that it wasn’t MS related. Once again, I was so relieved and grateful.

According to the doctors, I was expected to relapse eventually, the kind of relapse that could lead to complete loss of bladder control, or even permanent paralysis. but God intervened. His healing didn’t just delay it- it reversed what was happening in my body.

As I was preparing this testimony, I came across a verse that spoke so clearly to me:

Ezekiel 36:26 “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will take of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

God truly is the greatest Physician. Jesus gave His life so that we could live abundantly. Nevertheless, to receive that life, we must surrender. We must allow Him to perform surgery not just on our bodies, but on our hearts, our minds, and our souls.

In my case, it was my spine. I had to surrender what was broken, what was dying, and trust Him completely with my life. I thank God with all my heart, because no surgeon nor specialist could heal me. There was no earthly cure for me. There is an Almighty God who heals completely.

I share this today to give glory to God for His healing, His peace, and His unwavering presence in my life. May this testimony remind you that nothing is too big for God, and no diagnosis is final when He steps in.

Jesus my Healer – By Lina Lim

Seven years ago, I spent my birthday in the hospital with an unknown illness. After a trip to Seoul just before my birthday, I landed at KLIA and fell ill. Looking back now, I can see how great God is. He brought me safely home. I can’t even comprehend how I managed to get a Grab on my own when I could barely stand, feeling so weak and giddy!

I remember calling my parents, who came to pick me up and took me to the clinic the next day. Everything spiraled down from there. The doctor diagnosed me with vertigo and prescribed medication, but I didn’t get better. After a few days, I went to a private hospital, where I received an injection for vertigo, but there was still no improvement. Soon, my father noticed that something was wrong with my right eye, its iris had stopped moving!

We went to University Hospital to see an ophthalmologist, and the head of ophthalmology gave me the worst news. It was serious, and it appeared to be connected to something more severe. I was immediately referred to the head of neurology. The prognosis wasn’t good. They didn’t know the cause and, therefore, couldn’t offer any treatment apart from admitting me.

I underwent dozens of tests, lumbar punctures, eye examinations, scans and each conversation with the doctors brought more bad news. I overheard them discussing possibilities, from Lyme disease to a brain tumor (unfortunately, bedside manners were not their priority).

I spent weeks in the hospital. The only ‘medication’ I received was steroids when the right side of my face began to droop. Friends told me I was slurring my words and seemed a bit delirious. I couldn’t walk on my own, needed assistance, was labeled a “high-risk fall,” and could barely eat. Confined to bed, I wasn’t prescribed any medication. The iris in my right eye still wasn’t moving, causing double vision. Thank God I could still read the Bible! Every night, I slept listening to worship songs that gave me peace. My family visited and prayed with me every single day.

I insisted on going home for Christmas and attending the Christmas service. The doctors reluctantly allowed it, but after a few days of leave, I was readmitted as my condition hadn’t improved. The only treatment they recommended was plasma exchange. While I regained some strength after the sessions, I still couldn’t walk independently. Despite showing signs of improvement, my right eye remained in bad condition. During my last check-up, the doctor said the damage might be permanent, but I responded with faith, saying, “My God will heal me!” Although I could walk on my own over time, I still had double vision.

But my God healed me! My church prayed for me faithfully. I attended a healing service, and on the way home, my vision was restored, even though the iris was still stuck! One night, God gave me a dream. In it, I looked up and saw the sky filled with beautiful clouds. I told my sister about the dream, and she said it was a sign that I would be healed. She was right, my vision returned to normal that very weekend!

I give all praise and glory to Jesus, my healer. I am completely healed because nothing is impossible for my God. There is no sickness or disease that He cannot heal. He gave me strength through those difficult days.

Isaiah 53:5 – But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

Luke 1:37 – For with God nothing will be impossible.

Isaiah 41:10 – Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
