A Wayside Banquet
"I love the LORD,
because he has heard my voice and my supplications" (Ps 116:1)
It was on 10th March 1998
that my back pain started. I could not lie or sit down or stand. Three
days’ medicine only increased the pain. On the 15th I went to Tellicherry
to see the doctor. He said the spine discs were getting displaced. Hence
the pain. Two weeks of hospitalisation gave me some relief but the pain
persisted. I made my way back to the convent with the medicines prescribed.
On the way I stopped at another convent at Gonkuppa to take some rest.
There I heard the Potta team was due for a retreat. I decided to take part
in it despite the difficult circumstances.
On the very first day Fr
John announced that seven people with spinal trouble were healed. I was
one of them. But I refused to believe it. That evening a sister asked me
whether I could sit on the floor. I found I had no difficulty whatsoever
to sit or stand. The Lord had healed me completely. God be praised! I gave
my testimony on the 2nd day of the retreat. No medicine, or wearing of
the belt was necessary any more. I tasted and saw how good the Lord is!
About 10 years ago I had
to be on traction in the hospital for pain in the neck. Wearing a collar
became a must. The Lord now healed me of this complaint too. Praise you
Jesus! Thank you Jesus!

May I with joy and thankfulness
testify to the great mercy and blessings that flowed into my life. I am
40 years old now. When I was 17, I began to be plagued with suffocation
and allergy. Doctors’ medicines of various types proved futile. I realised
no physician on earth could heal me. I surrendered all my sickness to the
Lord. Moreover, I went to Potta Ashram every week and prayed for the sick.
After about 6 months, as Father was praying for the sick, he announced
that Jesus was healing someone suffering from suffocation and allergy.
That very moment I was relieved of these ailments. I have never had any
trouble afterwards.
