In May this year, I was diagnosed with diabetes when my hemoglobin A1c level reached 7. Hemoglobin A1c refers to hemoglobin combined with sugar in red blood cells, and when blood sugar remains high, this level also rises. It is widely used to diagnose diabetes, and the normal range is 4.0?6.0. A level of 6.5 or higher indicates diabetes, but mine had gone up to 7. ...
"After healed of pneumothorax, I came to praise God all the more!"
Deaconess Sunwoo Lee (aged 49, 1-2 Parish in South Korea)
My right rib was fractured and my lung was damaged in 2003 so I had a chest tube inserted. It caused me to seek medical treatment even when I just got a cold or bronchitis. I was not only sick physically but I also felt distressed spiritually just like a dry land. For this I read many books of famous pastors and prayed. But, though they temporarily had a positive influence, my spiritual thirst wasn't satisfied.
In January 2010 I found Dr. Jaerock Lee's book Spirit, Soul, and Body at the place of my sister-in-law, Deaconess Sunok Lee, and read it. The book talks about New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2), God's planning of human cultivation, and whole spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23) which I had never heard about before. It amazed me. In June 2010 I registered in Manmin Central Church ministered to by Dr. Lee and started a renewed Christian life.
I who had been a gospel singer became a soloist of the church's Performing Arts Committee. But I had a problem. While preparing for the special song I regularly give during worship service, I got a cold or a respiratory disease. It caused my voice to fail and I had to rely on medicine. This same situation occurred repeatedly and I felt ashamed of myself because I was unable to show faith in the church where the power of God unfolds.
I was determined to pass this trial. It happened as I prepared for the special performance given on December 6, 2013. I got a cold so I coughed and had phlegm and the symptoms got worse. When the day was just around the corner, I had hemoptysis and chest pain that was like poking the chest with a sword. But I didn't go to hospital because I had made a decision to be healed by faith. I received prayer from Mrs. Boknim Lee, President of Manmin Prayer Center and Pastor Heejin Lee, Chairperson of Performing Arts Committee. Then, I was able to offer up the special song safely.
To get healed of the problem completely with faith, I had a specific examination done in a hospital. Chest CT revealed my right lung was abnormal and I had recurrent pneumothorax (Ref: It is an abnormal collection of air or gas in the pleural space that separates the lung from the chest wall and which may interfere with normal breathing.) Afterwards, I looked back upon myself and repented of my shortcomings until Dr. Jaerock Lee came from his mountain prayer.
I repented that I had wanted to reveal myself and gain recognition from the church members by giving a special song in the service. Then, I prepared myself to receive his prayer for healing. On December 29, 2013 I received his prayer with an earnest heart. I immediately stopped coughing and phlegm also decreased. It all finally stopped on the following day. I was so happy!
I received assurance that I had been healed so I had testing done again on January 15, 2014. My doctor told me the good news saying, "Pneumothorax disappeared. You now have a clean and healthy lung." Hallelujah!
I give all thanks and glory to God who healed me of a chronic lung disease and allowed me to praise God with a healthy body.
Before prayer (December 9 2013): pneumothorax in the right lung (yellow arrow) After prayer (January 15 2014): no pneumothorax, normal
