The Healing of Christine
A woman finds salvation through the influence of a Bible worker.
My journey to God began with a knock at my door—when I encountered the life-altering message of Jesus Christ. As a kind Bible worker talked to me about Christ’s mission and His divine plan for humanity, I felt captivated by the hope and truth in his words. It didn’t take long for me to embrace this good news for myself!
I grappled with my own health challenges at the time, including a prolonged battle with epilepsy, and every Bible worker who visited me was empathetic and discerning. They clearly weren’t at my doorstep just to preach; they listened to my concerns, my hopes, my struggles. I knew that they cared about my community, for they often mingled with us in our homes and neighborhoods and sought to meet people’s needs. Their encouragement buoyed my faith! They promised to intercede for me in prayer and talked of God’s healing power, which filled my heart with another wave of hope.
We began to do Bible studies, and I quickly noticed what the Bible said about unclean foods. I decided to change my lifestyle to follow God’s dietary guidelines, and soon noticed remarkable improvement in my health. Intrigued, I continued to study with the Bible workers to deepen my understanding of Scripture.
During the following weeks, my physical and mental health improved dramatically. I began to attend the local Seventh-day Adventist church, and each sermon and lesson there fueled my spiritual growth. I felt a growing desire to be baptized into this new faith.
As I descended into the water on the day of my baptism, I fervently prayed that God would heal me from my remaining health issues. As I came up out of the baptismal water, I felt a profound sense of lightness and renewal wash over me. To my astonishment and joy, the lingering symptoms of my illness vanished!
Today, I am grateful beyond measure. I testify to God’s faithfulness and miraculous intervention in my life. No longer bound by the chains of sickness, I stand as a living testimony to His healing power and transforming love. As I embark on this new chapter in my spiritual journey, I am compelled to share my story with others that they too may encounter the life-changing grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
