It was about 2007

My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible

Previous Next

‘It was about 2007-8, I was just going about my normal daily life and my husband and I were driving to Wrexham. I felt my pulse and it was 99 beats per minute at rest. I knew there was something desperately wrong.

‘I was diagnosed with an over-active thyroid. I turned to the word. I read 1 Peter 2.24 which says “by the stripes of Jesus I was healed”. I didn’t want this illness.

‘I stood on that scripture for about a year. I started to thank God for it. I started to come off the medication. It took about six months because I knew I shouldn’t do it dramatically. I had an appointment for blood tests and they came back absolutely normal. I said to my doctor, “The Lord healed me”. He said, “Well, I’ll put it down in my records as unexplained.”

‘This experience gave me confidence that I can share with other people that the word works. I’ve seen people healed because of the word of God, jobs and relationships restored. I pray with a lot of people. I think that if God can do this for me, He can do it for anybody.’
