Since 1998, I had been suffering from Behcet’s disease, which is an autoimmune systemic disorder of unknown cause, characterized by recurrent occlusive vasculitis that affects multiple organs. If inflammation occurs in the eyes, it can lead to blindness. Neurological complications such as paralysis may occur; and in severe cases, rupture of the aorta or intestines, as well as central nervous system damage, can even lead to death.
Because of this disease, blisters always covered my scalp, and whenever I ran my hand through my hair, pus and blood would flow out. My eyes were constantly bloodshot. My mouth was sore, and swollen tonsils formed lumps like clusters of grapes. On my arms, legs, and hips, large, hard lumps formed under the skin, and if I happened to sit on a chair, I would often scream “Ah!” and fall backward from the pain.
There were even ulcers in my uterus and anus, and one day, inflammation developed on my tongue, making it difficult to eat or even speak. At such times, I had to communicate with my family by writing. Even when I was hungry and set the table, I couldn’t eat, so I cried a lot.
The lumps on my body would rise and subside repeatedly, causing the surrounding skin cells to die. The skin became sunken and turned purplish. Even after several years, the damaged skin did not regenerate or heal and remained dark reddish in color.
So, to avoid other people’s eyes, I had to wear two pairs of stockings even in the hot summer weather. Suffering so much, I went to a university hospital in November 2006 to seek treatment, but the doctor told me that this disease was an incurable one. He explained that although anti-inflammatory drugs could temporarily relieve the pain, the symptoms would soon return.
Amid such pain, I registered at Manmin Central Church in 2007 and began attending the Daniel Prayer Meeting every night without missing a day. Even when I could barely open my mouth, I prayed earnestly, saying, “Father, I want to fulfill my duties with healthy legs and clear skin.” I searched for things to repent of and diligently repented.
To be more faithful, I took Fridays off from work each week and accompanied my parish leader on home visits. Although I was only in charge of Guro-district, I joined the parish leader in visiting members in other cities and districts as well.
Long-distance trips were very painful due to the lumps on my hips, but I tried my best to fulfill my duties with gratitude. Then, one day in 2025, as I was busily living day by day, the pain suddenly disappeared?I didn’t even realize when it happened! I hurriedly checked my body and saw that the darkened skin had turned clean, and the hard lumps were completely gone!
The incurable disease that had tormented me for 27 years was completely healed. Hallelujah!
Now I’m so thankful that I can wear just one pair of stockings, and I’m truly happy to be completely free from pain. I give all thanks and glory to Father God who granted my heart’s desires and healed me.
