Just had a car ride with my mum who's just come back from Kuching. I don't think anyone knows this but my grandma has been very sick recently and it got to a point where she refused any additional treatment and decided to go home. Mum was sharing with me this really powerful testimony which really stirred up my faith and I would like to share the testimony too. Here goes.
My grandma first started getting sick a couple of months ago. Her blood pressure was detected to be abnormally high during a medical checkup and she was admitted to the hospital to be monitored by the doctors there. During that time, her condition worsed and her kidneys began to cease function. It was during that time when my family in Perth first heard about the condition and so we began to pray for her to get well. She moved to a private hospital and began dialysis two times a week. After that, her condition improved and we assumed all was well.
The day after camp, we got word that the points where the dialysis needles were inserted into her had got infected. This made the dialysis really painful and she decided to stop treatment and demanded to be sent home. Also her whole body had become bloated due to water retention. The doctors had no choice as she threatened to commit suicide if they didn't allow her to. At that point she had lost all will to live.
We came together as a family and prayed for her complete and total healing. At that moment we believed that the healing was done, and so I didn't want to say anything after that like she's sick or anything like that. My mum went back home a few days later to encourage and support my grandma in person. As far as I knew after that, my grandma was healed.
Tonight my mum shared with me a dream that my grandma had a few days before my mum came back from Kuching. She dreamt that she was younger and she was coming home one day when she saw an unmarked white van parked outside her house. She felt a bit uneasy so she hurried into the house. At that point she felt something ominous creeping up behind her and so she turned around and shut the door. Before the door was fully closed, a white hand managed to push its way in and she couldn't shut it, so she called out for her grandchildren to come and shut the door. In the dream we all came together and beat the hand off with a stick, finally she was able to close the door and the white hand was gone. At that point she woke up screaming and related the whole story to my uncle who was keeping vigil.
When she told the story, she said something really powerful - I'm glad that my grandchildren have the authority to chase away the devil. My mum told me that that night was the turning point for her healthwise, yesterday my uncle called and said that my grandma was a lot better - her appetite was back and the water had begun to dissipate from her body. When my mum had related the whole story to me, I was just utterly amazed at what God has done and continues to do through us as his vessels. This reminds me also that the fire and the power that we received at camp is for a purpose - to do battle with the enemy and to take back what he has robbed from us and our loved ones. It's not just the pastors and the high profile leaders who have this authority and power from God to bring healing and redemption to the lives of the lost and hurting. It's every single one of us.
