STORY OF JEMIMA MANOHAR
Introduction
Early Age
I was born in a Christian family. My mother was the only child to my grandparents. My father was a pharmacist in the Railway hospital Laalaguda. My grandfather was also working for Railways. My mother was married at the age of 14 years and I was born to her at the age of 15. After 5 years my mother had her second daughter ( gave birth to my sister). After this she fell very sick and died within six months.
My father was 26 years old when my mother died. My grandfather said, “God has taken my one daughter and gave two daughters, I will take care of these two girls. You can get married again and move on in your life.”
My father agreed but his mother did not agree. She took both of us – my sister and Myself with her. We were living with my father’s elder brother who already had four children.
One great thing my mother did to me was, though I was very small and did not know the alphabet also, she made me to learn by heart many passages of the Bible. I knew by heart Matthew 05 : 1 – 14, Psalm 23, Psalm chapter 1, 20, 91, 100, 121, 123, The Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments and so on. She used to make me recite everyday so that I should not forget. This Word of God helped me in all my life. Whenever I was alone, disturbed, discouraged, by repeating the Word of God I was comforted.
Therefore, I request all mothers to take the trouble to teaching the Word of God by heart before the children turn 5 years of age. Their memory grows sharp and the Word of God helps them all through their life. This is the greatest treasure you give to your children.
They joined me for Class I in Stanley High School, Hyderabad along with my cousins and I used to stand First in my Class. By the end of the year suddenly my grandmother died and nobody was willing to take care of me and my sister. So they sent us back to my mothers house and my mother’s parents welcomed us and took care of us with great pleasure.
Meanwhile my father got married and he was posted to Mahboobnagar Railway Hospital. So my father came to Laalaguda and left my sister to my grandparents care but took me much against my will along with him. I was forced to live and adjust with my stepmother. She was pregnant and always found fault with me. I was to sweep the house, clean the vessels and help her in all the odd jobs.
I was joined in Class III in the Mission School in Mahboobnagar. One day, my stepmother was very much annoyed with my work and she complained against me to my father. My father was very angry with me and beat me badly. Then he decided to send me away to my grandparents in Laalaguda. He bought a ticket to Secunderabad, put me into the train and said go to your ‘ Thatha’s ’ house. I was very happy to go but I do not know the way so I sat near a window and at every station I spelled and read the name of the station till I reached Secunderabad.
Finally, I got down the train and was looking which way to go to Laalaguda. I was repeating the Psalm 23 and Bible verses and praying the Lord should take me to my grandfather’s house. Just then one of the Ticket Inspectors came to me and asked me where I was going? And to show my ticket. I showed him the ticket and said, “I have to go to Laalaguda to Aaron Panthulu’s house in the Railway Quarters. This man knows my grandfather he said.
He took me to my grandparents house safely. I thanked Jesus for sending this man to take me home. Jesus is my Shepherd. My grandparents cried over me and thanked that man, of course they knew him very well.
At my grandparents home
My grandfather joined me in the Railway School into Class IV in Laalaguda. In those days the struggle for independence of India started. There was a great struggle and unrest was going on. India was divided into Pakistan and Hindustan. Hyderabad state was under the Nizam’s rule. There were many Muslims in Nizam’s state. They insisted that the Muslims of this State go to Pakistan. There were many communal riots going on between Hindus and Muslims. Many were killing each other. So every Christian made the sign of cross on their doors. Nobody attacked Christians, moreover they used to come and sleep in my house for shelter. The school were closed for nearly two years. After all this struggle in 1950, I was joined in St Francis Convent for my High School studies. We had First Term holidays in September for 15 days. A that time Bro Bakht Singh along with 30 brothers and sisters came to Hyderabad for gospel campaign. They held the meetings in the Centenary Baptist Church Secunderabad Clock Tower. The residence of the entire group was sponsored by Laalaguda Baptist Church and they were in South Laalaguda. My grandfather was in that group and I was going with him to help in doing some serving etc. Just after breakfast in the morning we were asked to go two by two to the neighbourhood place and invite them to the evening meeting. I was asked to join one sister called Olive and go to the door to door ministry. So both of us went to west Marredpally to invite people for the evening meeting.
We knocked the door of one house, they opened the door and invited us to come in. They spread the mat and both of us sat down. Sister Olive opened her Bible to John 3 and read 1 to 10 verses. In that passage the context was a Pharisee named Nicodemus came in the night to meet the Lord Jesus. He was the ruler of the people. Nicodemus appreciated Jesus but Lord Jesus told him unless a man is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Unless he is born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Then Nicodemus asked how can an old man enter into his mother’s womb and be born again? But Jesus said unless you realize that you are a sinner and (verse 5) unless you are born of water and of Spirit, realize that you are a Sinner and ask the Lord to forgive you. Unless you accept the Lord Jesus as your Personal Savior, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Then she explained whether you are a Christian or a non-Christian all human beings are sinners. No one can go to Heaven now. The wages of Sin is death. Romans 06 : 23 – Lord Jesus came to this World to pay the penalty of Sin on the cruel cross. He died and rose again from the dead victoriously. Sister Olive invited them to come and hear the Word of God in the evening at the Baptist church at 6 O’ Clock. Then we moved onto another house. But the message shook me up and I was totally disturbed to know that I will not go to Heaven. Because I thought our family will be the first one in Heaven. I never understood that Jesus came into this World to fulfill the law of the Lord and righteousness and lived a sinless life and by offering His life as a sacrifice on the cross. His death on the cross was the penalty for the sin of all the human race, He rose again from death victoriously on the third day. He brought the salvation and forgiveness of sin to all whoever believe on Him.
Romans 06 : 23 says the wages of sin is death but the gift of God through our Lord Jesus Christ is ETERNAL LIFE. Jesus is the Lamb of God who has taken away the sin of all the human beings the past, present and future. Whoever believes that Jesus has paid the penalty of their sin they will be totally saved and they will be given eternal life.
Salvation
In the evening meeting Bro Bakht Singh was preaching the Word Hebrews 02 : 03 – How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation. So I realized the Truth and believed the sacrifice of Lord Jesus the cross and accepted Him as my personal Savior on 06th September 1950. Great peace and joy flooded my heart. I was baptized on 17th September 1950 in Tank bund, Hyderabad by Bro Bakht Singh in the first Batch by His grace.
Since then I started witnessing to my classmates, friends and neighbors, what is to be born again and how to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Some of the young girls and my classmates accepted Lord Jesus as their personal Savior. We used to pray during the lunch hour and witness to others.
The news reached our Principal and called me and said, “Jemima, you are a student here. Do not preach here. Stop telling about Jesus.” I used to stand 1st in my class in studies. Otherwise she could have easily removed me from School.
By Gods grace after my High School I had a great desire to study Doctors course. But my grandfather refused saying I have no finances. That course is not in our budget. He said, “We have to accept whatever God gives. Join teachers training and do God’s will.” So I joined in teachers training against my will but continued my Higher Studies privately. I did my intermediate and degree in English Literature while working in a small school. There was a substitute teachers post vacancy in Railway School. Immediately I joined. As I was working as a substitute teacher, a permanent teachers vacancy was advertised in Central railway Commission. I applied for it and got selected by God’s grace.
I was posted as a permanent teacher at Jalna in Maharashtra state. That year my grandfather was due for his retirement. So he wanted both me and my sister to settle down in marriage. So both of us got married. After two months of my work at Jalna, we had summer vacation. At that time, I was praying for my transfer to Hyderabad. There was no hope and my in-laws were against that job. In the month of June ,an epidemic called ‘influenza’ broke out severely all over and the schools were closed up to almost August .God answered my prayers. I was transferred to Kazipet High School. This was more convenient and no one objected .I thanked God for that.
Miracle about children
Now, I have no children even after five years of married life. Everybody started to call me ‘barren’. One day my husband also called me the same .I was greatly annoyed .I said,” I will ask my God about this.”So I began a sincere prayer everyday about having a child. I prayed,”Lord, you know me .I depend on you for everything. Please take away this name ‘barren’ from me. Give me whoever you please; a boy or a girl. I want you to answer my prayer.”
To my great amazement, within a month ,I conceived .I tell this for the glory of the Lord that I never consulted any doctor nor did I take any medicine .I just trusted God to answer my prayer and God gave me a beautiful girl baby. She just looked like a doll ;so everybody began to call her ‘dolly’ .I told my husband how wonderful my God is !He granted me a job transfer and a beautiful baby girl.
After this, everybody’s tongues were silenced. But till another five years I didn’t have any more children .I never bothered about that. One day ,an aunty called me for an all night prayer as some other prayerful aunties were coming too .I was always interested in prayer meetings ,so I readily accepted and requested my husband to take care of the baby as I was going to attend the all night prayer in an aunt’s house who was our neighbor .He agreed.
There was good singing and Word of God was preached after which the prayer time began. At about two o’ clock in the night, one of the aunties started praying loudly in tongues and after her prayer, she said ,” The Lord showed me that He is going to give Jemima a son this year but that child should be dedicated to the Lord’s service.” I said,”if that is the will of God , I will surely obey Him”. Thus God did bless me with a son that year. I had such a severe morning sickness that I was admitted to a hospital and for two months, I survived only on glucose and saline. During that time I was reading a biography of a man of God called, Oswald J Smith. It was written that he was the first missionary who took the gospel overseas.
During this pregnancy, I became very weak. So, I told my husband that I was going to give birth to a son and that I wanted him to be totally dedicated to the Lord’s service as I was not sure whether I would live or die .I also told him that he should be named, ’Daniel Oswald’ because the Lord will see him to spread the gospel overseas to other countries. My husband always used to make fun of my prayer life because he was not a born-again Christian even though I shared the gospel with him many times. He was a great musician though. He used to play the instruments for the Lord but without dedication; just as a nominal Christian.
In due course, my son Daniel Oswald was born and I survived the pregnancy and child birth by God’s grace.
Another four years passed and God blessed me again with another son. I named him as Jude Israel . Jude means ‘Praise God ‘ and Israel means ‘He gave a prince to me’. I thanked God for my three children .My husband always made fun of me saying,”First daughter is an answer to your prayer; God gave her to you. Second child, son is for God’s service –that’s ok. Now why did God give this third child, son? Is he an ‘extra’? Let’s call him ‘Extra’.” So, he began to call Jude, “extra”.
In the meantime, I was transferred from Secunderabad to Dornakal High School as headmistress within six months of Jude’s birth. Though it was a very tough time to accept this offer because I would have had to manage three small children all alone in a new place, I prayed and took up the promotion.
A very large railway quarter was allotted to me just near the school. Railway hospital was also close by but it still being a new place,it was not easy to adjust.
Somehow another six months passed and the schools were going to be closed for summer holidays. One week before ,a man of God conducted some special meetings in Dornakal. The topic for that period was ‘Faith’-‘Little Faith and Great Faith’. A new song was also introduced during that time. That song was,”Devuni Samukha Jeevakavalilo Nee Perunnadha?” The song was very touching as well as with a good catchy tune .I liked it and learnt it. Those meetings were over and my husband came to take us home to Hyderabad as the school was closing for summer holidays. We could have left Dornakal the same day but it being a Sunday the next day, we wanted to attend the worship service and in the morning and take the night train to Hyderabad.
I told my husband about the powerful messages on Faith and also the song and begged him to be born again, to accept Jesus as His personal saviour. I even sang the song to him. Immediately, he started playing it on his flute. He was convinced anyway. He said,”Do you know what I am? I am a rocket; I will blast here and land in heaven. You will come very slowly in a bullock cart.” His way of talking was always jovial. He took everything very lightly and as usual I thought,’ he is never serious about life.’
Tragedy of losing my husband
We were getting ready for the worship service .The children were dressed, my husband was dressed and I was getting ready. Suddenly my husband came to me complaining of severe pain in his chest. Immediately I sent my peon to call the doctor. My husband was asking me to pray for him. I knelt down and started praying with tears .My husband was repeating each and every word of my prayer .I rushed him to the hospital which was just a few yards away. The doctor started the saline drip and told me that it looks like a heart attack. The pain subsided a little. My husband was saying to me not to worry about him but to take care of our children. He also said that he was confident of going to heaven even if he dies. While he was talking in this way, I asked him not to talk but to take rest and assured him that everything will be alright. But within minutes, he had a massive heart attack; he vomited and breathed his last .He never recouped. He breathed his last. I trusted the Lord and asked Him to spare his life but this is what had happened! I was totally shattered! I didn’t know what to do!
In the meanwhile my colleagues and other believers were arranging for our moving to Secunderabad .The same night we arrived in Secunderabad with my husband’s body. Funeral was done .I couldn’t understand what was going on in my life. I was wondering, whether it was a dream or reality! I was unable to come to terms with this. He was a very healthy man of 35 years but within twenty minutes the way he breathed his last was unimaginable!
Depression, discouragement and sorrow pulled me down but on the other hand The Lord was speaking to me. I was reminded of those three days special meetings about ‘Faith-Little Faith, Great Faith’. The Lord was speaking to me to stand strong and witness for Him in this situation. He reminded me of how He took care of me right from my childhood since my mother died. I faced many difficult situations in my life but the grace and love of God never departed from me. Though it was an unbearable and painful life, the Lord reminded me of my baptism promise; Psalms 16:11,”In my presence there is fullness of Joy, at His right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” I now realized why god gave me this promise –which I was never willing to understand.
One day a man of God from Hebron, C.D Dawson came to visit me .He gave me a verse, it’s john 13:7 which says, ”What I am doing, you cannot understand now, but you will know it later”. I fully understood that God was clearly telling me to depend on Him for everything. So then I stopped crying and surrendered myself and my children totally at His feet.
I tasted His faithfulness towards me and my children every day without fail. Although, I would at times feel that it is better for me to die, and my children would just grow up being looked after by someone. When my mother died, God provided my grandparents to take care of us but whenever my third son, Jude came to me to hug me, I would feel that if I died, this child would be deprived of every love. I strongly felt that he is not an ‘extra’ .God gave him to me so that I may find a purpose for my survival. When I got these thoughts and feelings, I repented of my selfish thoughts and asked the Lord to forgive me and spare me from such foolish thoughts. God knew that He was going to call my husband home .that is why, to compensate my sorrow and give some relaxation and diversion to my thoughts, this third child was given to me. I thank God for His plans and purposes in my life.
Now, I requested the Railway authorities to transfer me back to my original post of Graduate Assistant in Lallaguda High School. Within six months, they considered my case and were kind enough to transfer me back to my original position as an Assistant Teacher. My new life with my three children started .After I came back to Secunderabad, my grandfather passed away.
Requested my father to stay with me
I was all by myself with my three children. So I requested my father to come and stay with me because my little one was only two years old and it was getting difficult for me to drop him off at the Montessori School and pick him up .My father agreed and came to stay with us. He started to take him to school and bring him back.
During this time, I realized the actual value of my baptism promise, Psalms 16:11-which I failed to understand then -“You have shown me the way of life. In your presence is fullness of Joy and at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” I realized that in this world, we can never find a place like this. So, expecting any pleasure in this world is foolishness and that we must only enjoy whatever God gives to us and then there will be a real great Joy.
Me and my children have taken a decision to attend every prayer meeting, all night prayers, special meetings, open air gospel preaching, Convocations...etc. My boys were growing up and resembled their father .they played different musical instruments and started leading Worship service. Being a railway employee, I had the privilege of travelling free in first class with my railway pass twice a year. So, we availed that opportunity to attend every Holy convocation wherever Brother Bakht Singh conducted them. It was a great joy that my children were born again and were baptized, following the Lord. My first son , Daniel Oswald started preaching the Word of God from the age of seventeen fulfilling according to the promise which God has given me about him. My daughter got married in Hebron which was conducted by Brother Bakht Singh. My son also got married to a good believer who was a post graduate. Her parents chose Daniel when they heard the Word of God delivered by him. Finally, my youngest son also got married to a believer from Hebron after my retirement in 1997.
My youngest son’s Father-in-law was in Chicago. So his family moved to Chicago in 2000. My daughter’s family also moved to USA in 1998. Eventually , one by one all her children came to America on higher studies. Her first daughter came to America on H1B. Her Eldest son came to study M.S. Third daughter came here and completed her IT Degree. Second daughter was married and settled in London.
My Eldest son is working as an Overseas Missionary to train Pastors by Grace Christian Church, Kendelville Fortwayne, Indiana. Thus all my children were blessed by God.
My youngest invited me to attend the Holy Convocation in America. So I came to America in 2002 and then onward every six months I visited America till 2012. In all I had 10 grandchildren, except one all of them are in America.
Another heart-rending incident happened in my life. On 15th March 2014, I received a phone call from my youngest son saying, “Why are you not coming? Please come immediately – I need you and even children need you.” I told him that it will be very cold in Chicago now, let the weather warm up and I will come. We talked and laughed over so many things. Next day morning it was Sunday. I went to Church and came back home. My Elder son came home and asked me, “Mom, Jude is not well, I heard. Will you go to Chicago right away?”. I was shocked. I said I would go so he immediately booked the ticket and put me on the evening flight. I was with mixed feelings but I was praying fervently all the time. My two grandchildren came to receive me at the O’Hare airport. Always my son Jude used to receive me all these 10 years. Now I asked these girls what has happened. They were not telling me anything. We’ ll go home first they said. I became impatient and asked, “ Don’t try to hide anything , tell the truth. Is my son alive or not? Tell the truth”, I asked. Then they said, “ he was not sick, he slept in the night and did not wake up in the morning. He is no more, maybe it is a massive heart attack in his sleep.” I was just plunged into mourning. He died just like his father. He has four children. One girl 14 years old, a boy 12 years old, another girl 9 years old and the last girl 6 years old.
My thoughts never allowed me to sleep. After the funeral, so many people tried to comfort us, stood by us but nothing could actually console me. One thing was for sure – my son was born again. He loved the Lord, he is for sure in Heaven but my heart was very much grieved for the Fatherless young children and his wife a young widow. I was returning to India after some days. My prayer partners asked me, “We will come to your house please tell us what the Lord is speaking to you now-a-days. Please share your mind and feelings before you leave Chicago for India.”
My heart and mind were actually numb. The words my son spoke to me the day before his departure were ringing in my ears. I was pleading the Lord why He did not reveal ‘this situation’ to me before. The Lord spoke to me from my daily portion 1 Peter 1 : 6, 7 – In this you greatly rejoice though now for a little while if need be, you have been grieved by various trials. (vs 7) that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to the praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Then the Lord brought to my notice Malachi 3 : 2, 3… for he is like a refiner’s fire and like Launderer’s soap. Then I meditated on these verses. Actually the nature of fire is to burn down any material to ashes. That is nature of fire , it does not spare anything. But the refiner’s fire purifies the metal. Malachi 3: 2, 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver, He will purify the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.”
Again in 1 Peter 1 : 6, 7… In this you greatly rejoice though now for a little while if need be, you have been grieved by various trials (vs 7) that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire may be found to the praise, honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” We see by these verses that our Faith in Lord Jesus Christ is much more precious than gold. So it needs to be fire tested and we should endure suffering, because that purifies our Faith. When such fiery trials are allowed in our Life, nothing happens to us without His Will, so take the full shine of our Faith by humbling ourselves and praising and worshiping God. Because God is always perfect, He never makes a mistake. His ways are perfect.
So all of us cried and worshiped the Lord because Our Lord does not consume us but refines us to take the full shine on us. We have to shine for Jesus in this World in every situation. Though the situation was very painful, still the Lord comforted us with His Word and His Heavenly comfort. Then I left for India again.
My daughter’s family moved to Atlanta from Chicago after my son’s death. Her last daughter Olive was married in 2015 at Atlanta. I came to Atlanta again in January 2016. My daughter went to London to see her second daughter and her children for one month. At that time, my son Jude’s eldest daughter Justina was graduating High School in Chicago. I wanted to go to Chicago to be with my son’s children for sometime. I was in Chicago for about 3 months. Everything went on well we were happy. Suddenly I became very sick and they admitted me in North Shore Hospital. They investigates and said that there is 8 inches lump on my left kidney. They advised to see an Urologist and suggested surgery and discharged. I went home. We informed my daughter in London and other grandchildren who were in Atlanta. Meanwhile my daughter was trying to prepone her ticket to come away. She was unable to find the date to return.
I was admitted again in the North Shore Hospital because I had high fever and profuse bleeding. I went again for a second scanning and they declared I have ‘cancer’. My daughter-in-law was very much worried , because she is alone, children are very young and my daughter’s return was taking time. With all the odds and ends, she spoke to many people took their suggestion , tried her best to have my surgery at ‘Cook County’ Hospital after two days.
One brother named Philip came to visit me and prayed for me in the Hospital. He leads a group called “United Intercessors”. I also used to go to that group for prayer. He said “Aunty, do you believe that the blood of Jesus cleansed all your sins?” I said , “Of course I do believe, I am born again.” But did you read another verse just down the previous one, it says “By His Stripes, you are healed.” he asked. “Yes”, I said. Then do not get worried you just believe in your heart that you are healed totally by His Stripes.” I said “Yes.” Then he prayed and said, “Aunty, you are healed. You praise God and thank Him.” He prayed and left. I was repeating that verse again and again believing that the Lord has touched me.
My daughter-in-law moved all the known persons and arranged for my surgery in the Cook County Hospital. She also requested the North Shore Hospital ambulance to kindly shift me to Cook County Hospital in the morning. But my heart was not willing. Not because I was afraid of either Surgery or death, but none of my other grandchildren turned up, nor can my daughter and my daughter-in-law be able to undertake all this situation alone. My daughter-in-law’s children are too young, she has to go to the job, moreover the Cook County Hospital is far from her house.
So I called two of my prayer partners to please help me to accompany me to fly with to Atlanta. But, they were not free at that time. Just then, another friend of mine came to visit me at the hospital and asked what I am so bothered about. I told her my problem. So she said “don’t worry, I will accompany you to Atlanta.” Immediately I called my granddaughter in Atlanta to book two tickets by air the next day to Atlanta.
My daughter-in-law was so annoyed and disappointed with my arrangement. But, I apologized to her and said I know that you want to serve me but after surgery it becomes too difficult to manage. She said “Why athamma you never thought that I should be informed about your travel to Atlanta. Who gave you this Idea? Who made this decision?” But I told her, “Please Maa, I am extremely sorry. Until now in my life, nobody decides for me. I decide myself and I know for sure you will say ‘No’, so I made this decision myself as soon as that Aunty consented to my request. Please forgive me.” I called my daughter in London and told her my condition.
The next day my friend and myself travelled to Atlanta and reached by 8 PM. My granddaughter received us. We went prayed and went to bed. 9 AM in the morning they took me to Gwyneth Hospital in emergency. They did all the investigation and said that I should see the Urologist. We got the appointment of Urologist and went to see Him again. Same procedure was done- they scanned and I was told I have cancer, so they referred me to Emroy Cancer Hospital in Atlanta. I went there and the Specialist Surgeon sent me for investigations. Along with IV fluid they injected steroids and scanned my whole body. They drew blood from me in 12 injection tubes and sent for diagnosis. Finally, that surgeon referred me to the Oncologist and after this test we will do the Surgery.
We went home and prayed. I told my daughter and others, “Thank you for all the investigations made and declared I am a cancer patient. Now I will not see any Oncologist. Each doctor took $ 500 and declared my disease. I am already 81 years old. It is confirmed that I have cancer in Kidneys, Uterus, lungs and allover the cancer has spread. If the Lord calls me home, I am so happy to go home. If He heals me I will be His witness. I will wait on my Lord hereafter. Please don’t cut all my body parts and make me bedridden. Don’t make me to suffer on bed. I will not take any medicine or Chemo. My Lord is my Chemo. I totally refuse medical help. Leave me alone. If I die I have no regret, I will go straight to Heaven. If the Lord Jesus cures me I will witness. He not only forgives our sins, but also heals all our diseases. His blood is always available to believe on Him, He will never fail.” So my people didn’t want to worry me. So thinking without any medicine at this stage, I will become worse. So they left me for sometime.
All glory and praise to my God, last August I was running around the Hospitals. One year has passed and I am still alive. I do not have pain anywhere inside my body. Only my knees are painful as usual. Lord Jesus Christ has healed me. I have not taken any medicine or treatment for cancer. I declare for the glory of my Savior Lord Jesus Christ – YES!! Truly by His Stripes, I am healed.
This is my testimony. Lord Jesus Christ is the only Creator of this World. He is the true Savior of all human beings. He paid the penalty of sin of every human being. Please believe on Him and accept Him as your own Savior. You will have Eternal life. No one in this World loves you as Lord Jesus Christ!! God bless you!
Early Age
I was born in a Christian family. My mother was the only child to my grandparents. My father was a pharmacist in the Railway hospital Laalaguda. My grandfather was also working for Railways. My mother was married at the age of 14 years and I was born to her at the age of 15. After 5 years my mother had her second daughter ( gave birth to my sister). After this she fell very sick and died within six months.
My father was 26 years old when my mother died. My grandfather said, “God has taken my one daughter and gave two daughters, I will take care of these two girls. You can get married again and move on in your life.”
My father agreed but his mother did not agree. She took both of us – my sister and Myself with her. We were living with my father’s elder brother who already had four children.
One great thing my mother did to me was, though I was very small and did not know the alphabet also, she made me to learn by heart many passages of the Bible. I knew by heart Matthew 05 : 1 – 14, Psalm 23, Psalm chapter 1, 20, 91, 100, 121, 123, The Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments and so on. She used to make me recite everyday so that I should not forget. This Word of God helped me in all my life. Whenever I was alone, disturbed, discouraged, by repeating the Word of God I was comforted.
Therefore, I request all mothers to take the trouble to teaching the Word of God by heart before the children turn 5 years of age. Their memory grows sharp and the Word of God helps them all through their life. This is the greatest treasure you give to your children.
They joined me for Class I in Stanley High School, Hyderabad along with my cousins and I used to stand First in my Class. By the end of the year suddenly my grandmother died and nobody was willing to take care of me and my sister. So they sent us back to my mothers house and my mother’s parents welcomed us and took care of us with great pleasure.
Meanwhile my father got married and he was posted to Mahboobnagar Railway Hospital. So my father came to Laalaguda and left my sister to my grandparents care but took me much against my will along with him. I was forced to live and adjust with my stepmother. She was pregnant and always found fault with me. I was to sweep the house, clean the vessels and help her in all the odd jobs.
I was joined in Class III in the Mission School in Mahboobnagar. One day, my stepmother was very much annoyed with my work and she complained against me to my father. My father was very angry with me and beat me badly. Then he decided to send me away to my grandparents in Laalaguda. He bought a ticket to Secunderabad, put me into the train and said go to your ‘ Thatha’s ’ house. I was very happy to go but I do not know the way so I sat near a window and at every station I spelled and read the name of the station till I reached Secunderabad.
Finally, I got down the train and was looking which way to go to Laalaguda. I was repeating the Psalm 23 and Bible verses and praying the Lord should take me to my grandfather’s house. Just then one of the Ticket Inspectors came to me and asked me where I was going? And to show my ticket. I showed him the ticket and said, “I have to go to Laalaguda to Aaron Panthulu’s house in the Railway Quarters. This man knows my grandfather he said.
He took me to my grandparents house safely. I thanked Jesus for sending this man to take me home. Jesus is my Shepherd. My grandparents cried over me and thanked that man, of course they knew him very well.
At my grandparents home
My grandfather joined me in the Railway School into Class IV in Laalaguda. In those days the struggle for independence of India started. There was a great struggle and unrest was going on. India was divided into Pakistan and Hindustan. Hyderabad state was under the Nizam’s rule. There were many Muslims in Nizam’s state. They insisted that the Muslims of this State go to Pakistan. There were many communal riots going on between Hindus and Muslims. Many were killing each other. So every Christian made the sign of cross on their doors. Nobody attacked Christians, moreover they used to come and sleep in my house for shelter. The school were closed for nearly two years. After all this struggle in 1950, I was joined in St Francis Convent for my High School studies. We had First Term holidays in September for 15 days. A that time Bro Bakht Singh along with 30 brothers and sisters came to Hyderabad for gospel campaign. They held the meetings in the Centenary Baptist Church Secunderabad Clock Tower. The residence of the entire group was sponsored by Laalaguda Baptist Church and they were in South Laalaguda. My grandfather was in that group and I was going with him to help in doing some serving etc. Just after breakfast in the morning we were asked to go two by two to the neighbourhood place and invite them to the evening meeting. I was asked to join one sister called Olive and go to the door to door ministry. So both of us went to west Marredpally to invite people for the evening meeting.
We knocked the door of one house, they opened the door and invited us to come in. They spread the mat and both of us sat down. Sister Olive opened her Bible to John 3 and read 1 to 10 verses. In that passage the context was a Pharisee named Nicodemus came in the night to meet the Lord Jesus. He was the ruler of the people. Nicodemus appreciated Jesus but Lord Jesus told him unless a man is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Unless he is born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Then Nicodemus asked how can an old man enter into his mother’s womb and be born again? But Jesus said unless you realize that you are a sinner and (verse 5) unless you are born of water and of Spirit, realize that you are a Sinner and ask the Lord to forgive you. Unless you accept the Lord Jesus as your Personal Savior, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Then she explained whether you are a Christian or a non-Christian all human beings are sinners. No one can go to Heaven now. The wages of Sin is death. Romans 06 : 23 – Lord Jesus came to this World to pay the penalty of Sin on the cruel cross. He died and rose again from the dead victoriously. Sister Olive invited them to come and hear the Word of God in the evening at the Baptist church at 6 O’ Clock. Then we moved onto another house. But the message shook me up and I was totally disturbed to know that I will not go to Heaven. Because I thought our family will be the first one in Heaven. I never understood that Jesus came into this World to fulfill the law of the Lord and righteousness and lived a sinless life and by offering His life as a sacrifice on the cross. His death on the cross was the penalty for the sin of all the human race, He rose again from death victoriously on the third day. He brought the salvation and forgiveness of sin to all whoever believe on Him.
Romans 06 : 23 says the wages of sin is death but the gift of God through our Lord Jesus Christ is ETERNAL LIFE. Jesus is the Lamb of God who has taken away the sin of all the human beings the past, present and future. Whoever believes that Jesus has paid the penalty of their sin they will be totally saved and they will be given eternal life.
Salvation
In the evening meeting Bro Bakht Singh was preaching the Word Hebrews 02 : 03 – How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation. So I realized the Truth and believed the sacrifice of Lord Jesus the cross and accepted Him as my personal Savior on 06th September 1950. Great peace and joy flooded my heart. I was baptized on 17th September 1950 in Tank bund, Hyderabad by Bro Bakht Singh in the first Batch by His grace.
Since then I started witnessing to my classmates, friends and neighbors, what is to be born again and how to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Some of the young girls and my classmates accepted Lord Jesus as their personal Savior. We used to pray during the lunch hour and witness to others.
The news reached our Principal and called me and said, “Jemima, you are a student here. Do not preach here. Stop telling about Jesus.” I used to stand 1st in my class in studies. Otherwise she could have easily removed me from School.
By Gods grace after my High School I had a great desire to study Doctors course. But my grandfather refused saying I have no finances. That course is not in our budget. He said, “We have to accept whatever God gives. Join teachers training and do God’s will.” So I joined in teachers training against my will but continued my Higher Studies privately. I did my intermediate and degree in English Literature while working in a small school. There was a substitute teachers post vacancy in Railway School. Immediately I joined. As I was working as a substitute teacher, a permanent teachers vacancy was advertised in Central railway Commission. I applied for it and got selected by God’s grace.
I was posted as a permanent teacher at Jalna in Maharashtra state. That year my grandfather was due for his retirement. So he wanted both me and my sister to settle down in marriage. So both of us got married. After two months of my work at Jalna, we had summer vacation. At that time, I was praying for my transfer to Hyderabad. There was no hope and my in-laws were against that job. In the month of June ,an epidemic called ‘influenza’ broke out severely all over and the schools were closed up to almost August .God answered my prayers. I was transferred to Kazipet High School. This was more convenient and no one objected .I thanked God for that.
Miracle about children
Now, I have no children even after five years of married life. Everybody started to call me ‘barren’. One day my husband also called me the same .I was greatly annoyed .I said,” I will ask my God about this.”So I began a sincere prayer everyday about having a child. I prayed,”Lord, you know me .I depend on you for everything. Please take away this name ‘barren’ from me. Give me whoever you please; a boy or a girl. I want you to answer my prayer.”
To my great amazement, within a month ,I conceived .I tell this for the glory of the Lord that I never consulted any doctor nor did I take any medicine .I just trusted God to answer my prayer and God gave me a beautiful girl baby. She just looked like a doll ;so everybody began to call her ‘dolly’ .I told my husband how wonderful my God is !He granted me a job transfer and a beautiful baby girl.
After this, everybody’s tongues were silenced. But till another five years I didn’t have any more children .I never bothered about that. One day ,an aunty called me for an all night prayer as some other prayerful aunties were coming too .I was always interested in prayer meetings ,so I readily accepted and requested my husband to take care of the baby as I was going to attend the all night prayer in an aunt’s house who was our neighbor .He agreed.
There was good singing and Word of God was preached after which the prayer time began. At about two o’ clock in the night, one of the aunties started praying loudly in tongues and after her prayer, she said ,” The Lord showed me that He is going to give Jemima a son this year but that child should be dedicated to the Lord’s service.” I said,”if that is the will of God , I will surely obey Him”. Thus God did bless me with a son that year. I had such a severe morning sickness that I was admitted to a hospital and for two months, I survived only on glucose and saline. During that time I was reading a biography of a man of God called, Oswald J Smith. It was written that he was the first missionary who took the gospel overseas.
During this pregnancy, I became very weak. So, I told my husband that I was going to give birth to a son and that I wanted him to be totally dedicated to the Lord’s service as I was not sure whether I would live or die .I also told him that he should be named, ’Daniel Oswald’ because the Lord will see him to spread the gospel overseas to other countries. My husband always used to make fun of my prayer life because he was not a born-again Christian even though I shared the gospel with him many times. He was a great musician though. He used to play the instruments for the Lord but without dedication; just as a nominal Christian.
In due course, my son Daniel Oswald was born and I survived the pregnancy and child birth by God’s grace.
Another four years passed and God blessed me again with another son. I named him as Jude Israel . Jude means ‘Praise God ‘ and Israel means ‘He gave a prince to me’. I thanked God for my three children .My husband always made fun of me saying,”First daughter is an answer to your prayer; God gave her to you. Second child, son is for God’s service –that’s ok. Now why did God give this third child, son? Is he an ‘extra’? Let’s call him ‘Extra’.” So, he began to call Jude, “extra”.
In the meantime, I was transferred from Secunderabad to Dornakal High School as headmistress within six months of Jude’s birth. Though it was a very tough time to accept this offer because I would have had to manage three small children all alone in a new place, I prayed and took up the promotion.
A very large railway quarter was allotted to me just near the school. Railway hospital was also close by but it still being a new place,it was not easy to adjust.
Somehow another six months passed and the schools were going to be closed for summer holidays. One week before ,a man of God conducted some special meetings in Dornakal. The topic for that period was ‘Faith’-‘Little Faith and Great Faith’. A new song was also introduced during that time. That song was,”Devuni Samukha Jeevakavalilo Nee Perunnadha?” The song was very touching as well as with a good catchy tune .I liked it and learnt it. Those meetings were over and my husband came to take us home to Hyderabad as the school was closing for summer holidays. We could have left Dornakal the same day but it being a Sunday the next day, we wanted to attend the worship service and in the morning and take the night train to Hyderabad.
I told my husband about the powerful messages on Faith and also the song and begged him to be born again, to accept Jesus as His personal saviour. I even sang the song to him. Immediately, he started playing it on his flute. He was convinced anyway. He said,”Do you know what I am? I am a rocket; I will blast here and land in heaven. You will come very slowly in a bullock cart.” His way of talking was always jovial. He took everything very lightly and as usual I thought,’ he is never serious about life.’
Tragedy of losing my husband
We were getting ready for the worship service .The children were dressed, my husband was dressed and I was getting ready. Suddenly my husband came to me complaining of severe pain in his chest. Immediately I sent my peon to call the doctor. My husband was asking me to pray for him. I knelt down and started praying with tears .My husband was repeating each and every word of my prayer .I rushed him to the hospital which was just a few yards away. The doctor started the saline drip and told me that it looks like a heart attack. The pain subsided a little. My husband was saying to me not to worry about him but to take care of our children. He also said that he was confident of going to heaven even if he dies. While he was talking in this way, I asked him not to talk but to take rest and assured him that everything will be alright. But within minutes, he had a massive heart attack; he vomited and breathed his last .He never recouped. He breathed his last. I trusted the Lord and asked Him to spare his life but this is what had happened! I was totally shattered! I didn’t know what to do!
In the meanwhile my colleagues and other believers were arranging for our moving to Secunderabad .The same night we arrived in Secunderabad with my husband’s body. Funeral was done .I couldn’t understand what was going on in my life. I was wondering, whether it was a dream or reality! I was unable to come to terms with this. He was a very healthy man of 35 years but within twenty minutes the way he breathed his last was unimaginable!
Depression, discouragement and sorrow pulled me down but on the other hand The Lord was speaking to me. I was reminded of those three days special meetings about ‘Faith-Little Faith, Great Faith’. The Lord was speaking to me to stand strong and witness for Him in this situation. He reminded me of how He took care of me right from my childhood since my mother died. I faced many difficult situations in my life but the grace and love of God never departed from me. Though it was an unbearable and painful life, the Lord reminded me of my baptism promise; Psalms 16:11,”In my presence there is fullness of Joy, at His right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” I now realized why god gave me this promise –which I was never willing to understand.
One day a man of God from Hebron, C.D Dawson came to visit me .He gave me a verse, it’s john 13:7 which says, ”What I am doing, you cannot understand now, but you will know it later”. I fully understood that God was clearly telling me to depend on Him for everything. So then I stopped crying and surrendered myself and my children totally at His feet.
I tasted His faithfulness towards me and my children every day without fail. Although, I would at times feel that it is better for me to die, and my children would just grow up being looked after by someone. When my mother died, God provided my grandparents to take care of us but whenever my third son, Jude came to me to hug me, I would feel that if I died, this child would be deprived of every love. I strongly felt that he is not an ‘extra’ .God gave him to me so that I may find a purpose for my survival. When I got these thoughts and feelings, I repented of my selfish thoughts and asked the Lord to forgive me and spare me from such foolish thoughts. God knew that He was going to call my husband home .that is why, to compensate my sorrow and give some relaxation and diversion to my thoughts, this third child was given to me. I thank God for His plans and purposes in my life.
Now, I requested the Railway authorities to transfer me back to my original post of Graduate Assistant in Lallaguda High School. Within six months, they considered my case and were kind enough to transfer me back to my original position as an Assistant Teacher. My new life with my three children started .After I came back to Secunderabad, my grandfather passed away.
Requested my father to stay with me
I was all by myself with my three children. So I requested my father to come and stay with me because my little one was only two years old and it was getting difficult for me to drop him off at the Montessori School and pick him up .My father agreed and came to stay with us. He started to take him to school and bring him back.
During this time, I realized the actual value of my baptism promise, Psalms 16:11-which I failed to understand then -“You have shown me the way of life. In your presence is fullness of Joy and at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” I realized that in this world, we can never find a place like this. So, expecting any pleasure in this world is foolishness and that we must only enjoy whatever God gives to us and then there will be a real great Joy.
Me and my children have taken a decision to attend every prayer meeting, all night prayers, special meetings, open air gospel preaching, Convocations...etc. My boys were growing up and resembled their father .they played different musical instruments and started leading Worship service. Being a railway employee, I had the privilege of travelling free in first class with my railway pass twice a year. So, we availed that opportunity to attend every Holy convocation wherever Brother Bakht Singh conducted them. It was a great joy that my children were born again and were baptized, following the Lord. My first son , Daniel Oswald started preaching the Word of God from the age of seventeen fulfilling according to the promise which God has given me about him. My daughter got married in Hebron which was conducted by Brother Bakht Singh. My son also got married to a good believer who was a post graduate. Her parents chose Daniel when they heard the Word of God delivered by him. Finally, my youngest son also got married to a believer from Hebron after my retirement in 1997.
My youngest son’s Father-in-law was in Chicago. So his family moved to Chicago in 2000. My daughter’s family also moved to USA in 1998. Eventually , one by one all her children came to America on higher studies. Her first daughter came to America on H1B. Her Eldest son came to study M.S. Third daughter came here and completed her IT Degree. Second daughter was married and settled in London.
My Eldest son is working as an Overseas Missionary to train Pastors by Grace Christian Church, Kendelville Fortwayne, Indiana. Thus all my children were blessed by God.
My youngest invited me to attend the Holy Convocation in America. So I came to America in 2002 and then onward every six months I visited America till 2012. In all I had 10 grandchildren, except one all of them are in America.
Another heart-rending incident happened in my life. On 15th March 2014, I received a phone call from my youngest son saying, “Why are you not coming? Please come immediately – I need you and even children need you.” I told him that it will be very cold in Chicago now, let the weather warm up and I will come. We talked and laughed over so many things. Next day morning it was Sunday. I went to Church and came back home. My Elder son came home and asked me, “Mom, Jude is not well, I heard. Will you go to Chicago right away?”. I was shocked. I said I would go so he immediately booked the ticket and put me on the evening flight. I was with mixed feelings but I was praying fervently all the time. My two grandchildren came to receive me at the O’Hare airport. Always my son Jude used to receive me all these 10 years. Now I asked these girls what has happened. They were not telling me anything. We’ ll go home first they said. I became impatient and asked, “ Don’t try to hide anything , tell the truth. Is my son alive or not? Tell the truth”, I asked. Then they said, “ he was not sick, he slept in the night and did not wake up in the morning. He is no more, maybe it is a massive heart attack in his sleep.” I was just plunged into mourning. He died just like his father. He has four children. One girl 14 years old, a boy 12 years old, another girl 9 years old and the last girl 6 years old.
My thoughts never allowed me to sleep. After the funeral, so many people tried to comfort us, stood by us but nothing could actually console me. One thing was for sure – my son was born again. He loved the Lord, he is for sure in Heaven but my heart was very much grieved for the Fatherless young children and his wife a young widow. I was returning to India after some days. My prayer partners asked me, “We will come to your house please tell us what the Lord is speaking to you now-a-days. Please share your mind and feelings before you leave Chicago for India.”
My heart and mind were actually numb. The words my son spoke to me the day before his departure were ringing in my ears. I was pleading the Lord why He did not reveal ‘this situation’ to me before. The Lord spoke to me from my daily portion 1 Peter 1 : 6, 7 – In this you greatly rejoice though now for a little while if need be, you have been grieved by various trials. (vs 7) that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to the praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Then the Lord brought to my notice Malachi 3 : 2, 3… for he is like a refiner’s fire and like Launderer’s soap. Then I meditated on these verses. Actually the nature of fire is to burn down any material to ashes. That is nature of fire , it does not spare anything. But the refiner’s fire purifies the metal. Malachi 3: 2, 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver, He will purify the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.”
Again in 1 Peter 1 : 6, 7… In this you greatly rejoice though now for a little while if need be, you have been grieved by various trials (vs 7) that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire may be found to the praise, honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” We see by these verses that our Faith in Lord Jesus Christ is much more precious than gold. So it needs to be fire tested and we should endure suffering, because that purifies our Faith. When such fiery trials are allowed in our Life, nothing happens to us without His Will, so take the full shine of our Faith by humbling ourselves and praising and worshiping God. Because God is always perfect, He never makes a mistake. His ways are perfect.
So all of us cried and worshiped the Lord because Our Lord does not consume us but refines us to take the full shine on us. We have to shine for Jesus in this World in every situation. Though the situation was very painful, still the Lord comforted us with His Word and His Heavenly comfort. Then I left for India again.
My daughter’s family moved to Atlanta from Chicago after my son’s death. Her last daughter Olive was married in 2015 at Atlanta. I came to Atlanta again in January 2016. My daughter went to London to see her second daughter and her children for one month. At that time, my son Jude’s eldest daughter Justina was graduating High School in Chicago. I wanted to go to Chicago to be with my son’s children for sometime. I was in Chicago for about 3 months. Everything went on well we were happy. Suddenly I became very sick and they admitted me in North Shore Hospital. They investigates and said that there is 8 inches lump on my left kidney. They advised to see an Urologist and suggested surgery and discharged. I went home. We informed my daughter in London and other grandchildren who were in Atlanta. Meanwhile my daughter was trying to prepone her ticket to come away. She was unable to find the date to return.
I was admitted again in the North Shore Hospital because I had high fever and profuse bleeding. I went again for a second scanning and they declared I have ‘cancer’. My daughter-in-law was very much worried , because she is alone, children are very young and my daughter’s return was taking time. With all the odds and ends, she spoke to many people took their suggestion , tried her best to have my surgery at ‘Cook County’ Hospital after two days.
One brother named Philip came to visit me and prayed for me in the Hospital. He leads a group called “United Intercessors”. I also used to go to that group for prayer. He said “Aunty, do you believe that the blood of Jesus cleansed all your sins?” I said , “Of course I do believe, I am born again.” But did you read another verse just down the previous one, it says “By His Stripes, you are healed.” he asked. “Yes”, I said. Then do not get worried you just believe in your heart that you are healed totally by His Stripes.” I said “Yes.” Then he prayed and said, “Aunty, you are healed. You praise God and thank Him.” He prayed and left. I was repeating that verse again and again believing that the Lord has touched me.
My daughter-in-law moved all the known persons and arranged for my surgery in the Cook County Hospital. She also requested the North Shore Hospital ambulance to kindly shift me to Cook County Hospital in the morning. But my heart was not willing. Not because I was afraid of either Surgery or death, but none of my other grandchildren turned up, nor can my daughter and my daughter-in-law be able to undertake all this situation alone. My daughter-in-law’s children are too young, she has to go to the job, moreover the Cook County Hospital is far from her house.
So I called two of my prayer partners to please help me to accompany me to fly with to Atlanta. But, they were not free at that time. Just then, another friend of mine came to visit me at the hospital and asked what I am so bothered about. I told her my problem. So she said “don’t worry, I will accompany you to Atlanta.” Immediately I called my granddaughter in Atlanta to book two tickets by air the next day to Atlanta.
My daughter-in-law was so annoyed and disappointed with my arrangement. But, I apologized to her and said I know that you want to serve me but after surgery it becomes too difficult to manage. She said “Why athamma you never thought that I should be informed about your travel to Atlanta. Who gave you this Idea? Who made this decision?” But I told her, “Please Maa, I am extremely sorry. Until now in my life, nobody decides for me. I decide myself and I know for sure you will say ‘No’, so I made this decision myself as soon as that Aunty consented to my request. Please forgive me.” I called my daughter in London and told her my condition.
The next day my friend and myself travelled to Atlanta and reached by 8 PM. My granddaughter received us. We went prayed and went to bed. 9 AM in the morning they took me to Gwyneth Hospital in emergency. They did all the investigation and said that I should see the Urologist. We got the appointment of Urologist and went to see Him again. Same procedure was done- they scanned and I was told I have cancer, so they referred me to Emroy Cancer Hospital in Atlanta. I went there and the Specialist Surgeon sent me for investigations. Along with IV fluid they injected steroids and scanned my whole body. They drew blood from me in 12 injection tubes and sent for diagnosis. Finally, that surgeon referred me to the Oncologist and after this test we will do the Surgery.
We went home and prayed. I told my daughter and others, “Thank you for all the investigations made and declared I am a cancer patient. Now I will not see any Oncologist. Each doctor took $ 500 and declared my disease. I am already 81 years old. It is confirmed that I have cancer in Kidneys, Uterus, lungs and allover the cancer has spread. If the Lord calls me home, I am so happy to go home. If He heals me I will be His witness. I will wait on my Lord hereafter. Please don’t cut all my body parts and make me bedridden. Don’t make me to suffer on bed. I will not take any medicine or Chemo. My Lord is my Chemo. I totally refuse medical help. Leave me alone. If I die I have no regret, I will go straight to Heaven. If the Lord Jesus cures me I will witness. He not only forgives our sins, but also heals all our diseases. His blood is always available to believe on Him, He will never fail.” So my people didn’t want to worry me. So thinking without any medicine at this stage, I will become worse. So they left me for sometime.
All glory and praise to my God, last August I was running around the Hospitals. One year has passed and I am still alive. I do not have pain anywhere inside my body. Only my knees are painful as usual. Lord Jesus Christ has healed me. I have not taken any medicine or treatment for cancer. I declare for the glory of my Savior Lord Jesus Christ – YES!! Truly by His Stripes, I am healed.
This is my testimony. Lord Jesus Christ is the only Creator of this World. He is the true Savior of all human beings. He paid the penalty of sin of every human being. Please believe on Him and accept Him as your own Savior. You will have Eternal life. No one in this World loves you as Lord Jesus Christ!! God bless you!
