Instantly Restored to Health

C. T. Roh

For eight months I had been a sufferer from chronic female difficulties. I tried all kinds of doctors, all kinds of treatment, all kinds of patent medicines, but grew worse right along. Everybody that came to see me thought I had consumption.

Just the day before I was healed a doctor told my sister that he would have to treat me seven or eight months before he could say whether I was ever to get well. But God had not forgotten me. I was brought up a Lutheran and had studied the Bible, but I did not understand it.

I knew God could cure me, but had not the firm faith that He would do it. I prayed for God's mercy. On Tuesday my sister went to the doctor for me. On Wednesday some Christian Science ladies called on me. I did not know they were Christian Scientists. I told them how long I had suffered and how long I had to suffer, and that I did not know whether I would be well or not. One of the dear ladies said there was no need of my suffering longer; that God could heal me if I only believed it; that God was just as mighty now as He was nineteen hundred years ago. She asked me if I remembered how Jesus healed the sick. She told me she was healed and God could heal me too if I only believed it. I felt myself not wanted by God, but this lady repeated many sayings from the Bible which I had learned in school, and it all came back to me. When I said, "I know all that," she replied, "Why don't you believe it?" I said then, "With all my heart and mind I do believe, and I know that God can cure me," and so it seemed. The pain left me instantly, but I did not quite realize it. The ladies got up to go, and I too got up from my chair without a bit of pain. I stood on my feet for some time and felt so happy to think that I could be cured. After the ladies went I prayed to God for mercy. I thought, "Why cannot I be healed like the woman who only touched his garment?" and right there it became so light to me that I arose, knowing that I was healed.
