She Was Healed

Me:  Howdy Prodigal!  How are you today?

Prodigal:  I’m fit as a fiddle and ready to play!

Me:  How about a story instead?

Prodigal:  That works perfect!

This is from the book Voices of the Faithful by Beth Moore

 

The shaman told Sunny that she wouldn’t live to her 40th birthday.  She was under a curse.  A doctor prescribed several medicines to treat the life-threatening blood cot in her head.  She endured intense headaches and constant depression.  Sunny’s only child, Siti, encouraged her mother to talk to the American in their neighborhood.

Siti heard about Jesus at my house.  Finally, she convinced her mother to talk with me.  Sunny asked, “What is the difference between the resurrection of  Jesus and the ascension of Jesus?”  Every few days, Sunny would visit and ask questions.

Sunny began to read the Bible with me.  One week, we studied about the betrayal and death of Jesus, including His prayer at Gethsemane.  He said, “Not as I will, but as you will” (Matt. 26:39).  Attracted to Jesus’s prayer, Sunny prayed that she would accept God’s will.

A few nights later, Sunny had an unusual dream.  A tall man, wearing white garments, came to her.  He poured ice-cold liquid over her head.  As it chilled her whole body, he said, “You are healed.”  She woke up cold and bewildered.  Who was the man?  Was the dream from God?  Was she really well again?

Sunny decided that whether or not she was healed, she believed that Jesus is the Savior, her Savior.  When the expensive pills had run out,  Sunny went to the doctor for a checkup.  The blood cot was gone!  The Muslim doctor said it was impossible.  Sunny said, “No, it’s an answer to prayer.”
