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. ...
In November, 2006 I felt weary both mentally and physically, and I started to have bloody stools and lost 1kg of weight a day. I was diagnosed with the 3rd stage of colon cancer. The doctor said even after the surgery, I had to receive post-surgical therapy 12 times. I thought I had strong patience but the anticancer treatment was hard to bear. I lost my hair and hours of injections made me feel nauseous and I couldn't eat well. I even thought I would die soon. With a desperate heart, I tried to find hope in God. Though I had looked at many churches seeking the Word of God, I wasn't fully satisfied. I went to Manmin Central Church led by my younger brother Hangchul Shin. There I could see many members giving testimonies after being healed and blessed. God says in Exodus 15:26, "I, the LORD, am your healer." Though I was sick, I kept attending Daniel Prayer Meetings and Manmin Prayer Center Healing Meetings every day and the Friday All-night Service every week. My younger brother picked me up with his car each time. Through the messages I realized that all diseases come from sins and I became certain of my healing when I repented and depended on God with faith.
I stopped receiving anticancer treatment and tried to find the wall of sin between God and myself instead. One day in July the spirit of repentance came upon me. I thoroughly repented not having truly loved and forgiven others though I thought I knew a lot about the Word of God. I met Senior Pastor with my family and received his prayer. Through this, along with the assurance of my healing, I had joy and hoped even more to live by the Word as God's child.
From that point on, I could lead a joyous life of faith with the assurance of believing that 'I am no longer sick because God healed me. I am strong.' And actually, I no longer had pain. I visited the hospital last March to be confirmed of my healing. Of course, it turned out that I was healed. Being healthy both in spirit and body, I am enjoying my second life working hard on my Job.
