Deliverance belongs to the Lord
 
"Believe on the Lord Jesus,
and you will be saved
you and your household"(Act 16:31)


Acute pancreatitis forced me to be hospitalised and put under sedation for over a fortnight in the ICU. My breathing rate dropped so drastically that tracheotomy was done on December 27th 1995 and my life had to be sustained through artificial respiration. The doctors lost hope and I was to pass away in a few hours. It was disastrous news for my father who was already a heart patient. But all of a sudden the doctors and nurses attending on me were surprised to see me breathing well. I was shifted to the special ward on Jan 17th 1996 and was given oxygen through the tracheotomy tube. One night the nurse lowered the oxygen level for me to breathe naturally. I was scared but she comforted me telling me about Lord Jesus. I slept peacefully. At about 2 am my bed shook terribly and I called out for mummy. I had a vision of Jesus who pushed me under the blanket and said, "It's not time for you to go. You have to live. " I was happy as well as afraid. I began to be optimistic. I was operated on thrice as there were innumerable small pouches of pus and necrotic material in the pancreas.
 
The secret of my sudden healing was the grace given to my father, who, on the advice of the nursing superintendent of Apollo hospital, had gone to Divine, Muringoor, to attend a retreat. He experienced great joy and peace there and heard the announcement, "a child suffering from abdomen and stomach disorder is being touched by Jesus." My name too was called out. My dad came home to find me better. I was discharged from hospital on May 30th. Now I can walk about without difficulty. Praise you Jesus! Thank you Jesus!
