Jeremias 33:3 “Call unto Me and I will answer thee and I will show you mighty things that you have not seen yet” |
I am Angel Baldapan of Soledad Street , Tagbilaran City . I want to exalt God, praise and thank Him for the gift of new life and healing of my body and soul. In February, 1998 I was suffering of abdominal pain and after consulting to the doctors of the two hospitals that I referred to, both recommended me for operation of hernia. The doctors told me there is no other treatment except operation. After our second consultation, my wife and I went home and my wife who was already in the renewal movement told me to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior so that I won't undergo any operation. At that moment I really did not fully grasp why I could be delivered from this sickness without operation. At that night my wife attended the overnight prayer for it was an Anniversary Day for the El Shaddai movement and my wife prayed sincerely that I could not be operated and thanks God I was relieved from pain. On May 9, 1998 , 1 attended the 6AM mass at the K of C now the Lourdes Parish Church , but my mind was not fully focused on the mass. I just attended the mass just for compliance being a baptized Catholic. In the beginning of the mass, I again experienced abdominal pain which was so severe that I almost could not finish the mass. I could hardly walked home due to severe pain and when I reached home I requested my wife to pray for me because of the pain. We were praising and reading the word of God. At 3PM my wife asked me whether I have still within me that I did not surrender and told me to surrender everything to God. Then I meditated and realized that I did not surrender my "librito", a book of prayer of quack doctors for I was a quack doctor at that time. Then I fully surrendered myself including my unworthiness, all my sins and I requested my wife to burn the “librito” and all the things that I used as a quack doctor. Few minutes after, I struggled so much that I felt I was at the edge of death. Thanks God that my wife had the special grace and the gift of faith for she was not afraid. She left me to attend the mass and I requested her to bring with her the healing ministry to help me pray. When she left, I requested my children to read the bible and though I rolled on the floor of pain but I kept on listening to the words of God. When the companions of my wife arrived, we prayed the whole night until 2 o'clock dawn and my wife sacrificed praying and praising until 5 in the morning. After I was led to true repentance, I had deliverance of vomiting and moved bowels for 30 times with blood and water discharges of a very fowl odor and I felt there was something that crawled in my esophagus that came out from my mouth, after which, I was fully relaxed and was at peace. At 4 o'clock dawn, my wife was tempted by her thoughts that I will die of dehydration due to the discharges I had. But; she cast it out in the name of Jesus and claimed that the discharges will be replenished by the precious blood of Jesus. On the following day I was brought up to the prayer and fasting at the Holy Spirit School and I felt that it was difficult for me for I had ulcer but faith came in for I began to trust God. I credited it as the result of the sincere prayer of my wife that I was able to attend the whole day activity successfully with a deliverance of flatulence. During the mass, I talked to God that it is He that I will receive in the Holy Eucharist by His body and blood to heal me , completely. Thanks God to the Father Almighty and to our Lord Jesus Christ that we went home bringing the banner of complete healing and the glory of God. Alleluiah. |
