Testimony of Healing August 14, 1995 Issue

One day when I was a young boy, I was running down the street

Eric Sonnesyn

One day when I was a young boy, I was running down the street. I became very winded. I stopped to rest, but I couldn't catch my breath. No matter how I tried, I couldn't breathe well.

My uncle was a lifelong asthmatic; it was easy to conclude that I had inherited the same problem—that it was genetic. My condition was aggravated by severe allergies, and was particularly acute if I got sick during the allergy season. I remember once lying in bed in late August, wondering if I would make it through the night.

My parents took me to the best doctors. Sometimes I was able to get some relief, but never to find healing. Always there were antibiotics in our medicine cabinet, antihistamines, and asthma medicine. I took allergy shots for years.
