I was afflicted with leukemia for the last seven years. From the early 2000, I easily got run down and my condition was getting worse day by day. So I went to hospital for check-up. I received an unexpected result which indicated I had leukemia. I started to take medicine and made every effort to be healed. But there was no improvement; it became even more serious. As a year passed, I ended up being diagnosed with the last-stage of leukemia.
On the verge of death, Virginia, my daughter who lived in Korea, flashed through my mind. I made a phone call to her and revealed I had leukemia. But I couldn't tell her that it was in its final stage. I was heartbroken thinking she had lost her father when she was a very young child and now she was about to lose her mother. I thought it was pretty tough situation for her to swallow. Afterwards, my disease continued to worsen. I couldn't even eat well and often vomited. I became extremely weak.
Before I got sick, I had weighed around 100kg (around 220 pounds). But I kept losing weight and finally ended up weighing 38 kg (around 84 pounds). I looked like a living corpse. I gave up everything and collected my emotions and got my life in order. I sent my last will and valuables to Virginia in Korea. However, she talked about her church, Manmin Central Church, and Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. She let me know about the many powerful works that had taken place in the church.
She said I would be able to get healed even though I didn't receive Dr. Lee's prayer in person. She also said that if she received his prayer on my picture with faith, I would be healed. I could not help but to say to her, "I am about to die, and I can't live anymore." But my daughter didn't sway at all, and she told me, "I believe God will revive you."
In May of 2004, my daughter received Dr. Lee's prayer on my picture on my behalf. However, there was no difference. Then, my daughter began to figure out the reason why I had not been healed while meditating on the Word of God. In fact, it is the repentance and faithful prayer of the sick people themselves that they need in a bid to receive healing. In other words, I myself should've repented and received his prayer with faith. But it was not the case for us. So she relied on God who answers prayer offered by the righteousness and stepped up her efforts to receive answers. (James 5:16)
She read the Bible and memorized the Bible verses every day. She got rid of her wrongdoings and evil whenever she found them. She also harbored her earnest hope for my healing when she received Dr. Lee's prayer or shook hands with him. Even when she was told that I met a critical moment, she still clung to the belief that God would heal me, so she could rather be pleased and thankful. She also delivered the Word of God to plant faith in me on the phone.
Such love and devotion of my daughter opened my heart little by little. I got strengthened when she encouraged me saying, "God will surely heal you, mom! You can survive this!" Faith and hope in my heart grew by leaps and bounds. Then, I could sense my condition had improved. In 2006, I felt energy come to my body and I started to gain weight. It was miraculous!
In June 11, 2007, I had a periodically scheduled medical examination and the result was astounding. There was no tumor anywhere in my body. God saw my daughter's unchanging deeds of faith, gave me faith, and healed me through Dr. Lee's powerful prayer. Hallelujah!
