A Point of Contact
with God
My daughter Vellanic, aged
14 years, studying in std x was always in good health. But in June 1997,
something strange happened. On the first day of school, she got choked
and could not breathe. It happened at 6 am, and we got very frightened.
We took her to the doctor and for a moment she was well but as days passed
by she suffered constant attacks of choking along with fever, backache
and stomach ache. The doctor asked for all the tests to be done. There
was nothing wrong. The doctor was disturbed because the attacks of choking
became more frequent. She was then admitted to the hospital. Now she was
on drips and heavy medication. Yet there was no improvement. In my distress
I took up a copy of Vachanolsavam and searched for a prayer. I found
a line which led me to an extract from the Holy Bible. I then took up the
verse in the Holy Bible which said,
"They will lay their
hands on the sick, and they will recover" (Mk 16:18).
And yes indeed at 12 midnight
on 6 July '97, I prayed with faith. My words were, "In the name of Jesus,
Sickness, leave my child. Jesus is our healer. My child belongs to Jesus,
only he will heal her". I prayed for 20 minutes and Oh! our great healer
touched her. She was healed. No more attacks! The next day she left the
hospital. Thank you Jesus Praise you Jesus, Our wonderful Healer.
