One day in January 2024, I woke up in the morning and felt pain in my neck. I could feel a small lump. As time passed, the lump grew bigger and bigger to turn into a bump, and the affected area became swollen. It was easily visible, so I turned up my collar or covered it with a scarf. ...
In November, 2006 I felt weary both mentally and physically, and I started to have bloody stools and lost 1kg of weight a day. I was diagnosed with the 3rd stage of colon cancer. The doctor said even after the surgery, I had to receive post-surgical therapy 12 times. I thought I had strong patience but the anticancer treatment was hard to bear. I lost my hair and hours of injections made me feel nauseous and I couldn't eat well. I even thought I would die soon. With a desperate heart, I tried to find hope in God. Though I had looked at many churches seeking the Word of God, I wasn't fully satisfied. I went to Manmin Central Church led by my younger brother Hangchul Shin. There I could see many members giving testimonies after being healed and blessed. God says in Exodus 15:26, "I, the LORD, am your healer." Though I was sick, I kept attending Daniel Prayer Meetings and Manmin Prayer Center Healing Meetings every day and the Friday All-night Service every week. My younger brother picked me up with his car each time. Through the messages I realized that all diseases come from sins and I became certain of my healing when I repented and depended on God with faith.
I stopped receiving anticancer treatment and tried to find the wall of sin between God and myself instead. One day in July the spirit of repentance came upon me. I thoroughly repented not having truly loved and forgiven others though I thought I knew a lot about the Word of God. I met Senior Pastor with my family and received his prayer. Through this, along with the assurance of my healing, I had joy and hoped even more to live by the Word as God's child.
From that point on, I could lead a joyous life of faith with the assurance of believing that 'I am no longer sick because God healed me. I am strong.' And actually, I no longer had pain. I visited the hospital last March to be confirmed of my healing. Of course, it turned out that I was healed. Being healthy both in spirit and body, I am enjoying my second life working hard on my Job.
