My Son's Appendicitis Has Been Healed Not by Surgery but by God's Power!
"I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me" (Proverbs 8:17).
Deacon Joon-hyuk Kim (Music teacher, Sa-pa Elementary School, Masan City)
Beginning on Saturday, November 5, 2005, my son Young-ho, a 6th-grader, began vomiting, came down with a high fever, and complained of a stomachache. As he confessed his faith in God and wished to receive Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's "Prayer for the Sick" recorded on the automated telephone message. Young-ho's condition seemed to improve each time he received the "Prayer" but he didn't make a complete recovery. My wife and I looked back at our Christian lives as we listened again to the Senior Pastor's series on "The Message of the Cross." We repented of not having led zealous and passionate Christian lives that were pleasing in His sight. A week passed and my wife and I noticed that Young-ho's right abdomen had swollen and become hardened. On Saturday, November 12, we took him to a nearby hospital for sonography. The doctor diagnosed Young-ho with appendicitis and told us that unless he was operated immediately, our son's condition would take a turn for the worse. However, remembering Young-ho's confession of faith, I told the doctor, "We are Christian and we seek to be healed by God's power." He advised us that too much time had already passed and told us to come back if Young-ho became worse. After speaking with Rev. Sang-tae Kim on the phone and receiving his prayer that evening, all three of us could have a good night's sleep. The next day, we received the Senior Pastor's "Prayer for the Sick" on the television screen and a little later, we realized that Young-ho's fever and stomachache had disappeared. Hallelujah! On that Sunday, Young-ho said he was hungry, asked for some food, and ate it very well. He even exercised by climbing up and down three flights of stairs. As my wife and I saw all this, we were convinced Young-ho had been perfectly healed. On Monday, November 14, we went back to the hospital for another evaluation. "My goodness," the doctor was stunned. "Appendicitis has completely disappeared! How could this be? Wow, he must be one really powerful pastor!" Even he ended up recognizing the power of God. Hallelujah!
