I'm elated. In fact I am over the moon. This morning I woke up for the first time in 2 years without the familiar shoulder pain and stiffness that some doctors said was "rheumatism" or "arthritis".
In a bid to regain my former sexy hour glass figure, as a new mom, I had somehow suffered a gym injury. I remembered the sharp pain and the "pop" sound when lifting some weights. "It will go away" I thought at that time in 2006 we do not have any budget for medical purposes. Life was just tough managing the mortgage payments. The pain did subside a little but in one home exercise of stomach crunches over the gym ball, my toddler pushed the ball when I had my eyes closed. She was supposed to be sleeping. I aggravated the injury. OUCH. It hurt much but still it was nothing compared to the emergency caesarean i had in early 2005.
Some time mid 2007, I decided to pursue music since it was my childhood and life goal. I wanted to play the violin well. However, since I started some serious bowing especially the G and D strings, my bow arm would ached much, then came the searing pain that made me almost involuntarily feel like dropping the bow. The pain came back stronger than ever.
I went to see a doctor who recommended physio therapy sessions. In fact the physiotherapist was shocked that I had "tahan" the rotar cuff tendonitis for so long. In fact, by not seeking medical treatment early and by "avoiding" use of the right shoulder whenever possible, I had a "frozen shoulder" as a consequence. It was far from cold. In fact it was searing hot inside and it felt like someone was cutting the tendons that were inflammed with a sharp knife. It was extra painful when it was about to rain when the humidity was high or when the temperatures were low. Despite the many physiotherapy sessions that included electric current treatments and ultra sound, the pain would come and go. Sometimes it was a very dull ache that stung, other times it was very sharp and sudden and the arm would involuntarily let go of usually the small objects like toothbrush and crayons.
I was advised to stop carrying my toddler about 13kg and also to stop the bowing (music lessons). I can't. Without a maid or an extra pair of hands as a full time home maker I had to DIY everything including cleaning the house. Further more, I love music and had fallen in love with the violin. I want to play the violin well that's my life goal. So the physiotherapy sessions went on and off with some temporal relief.
About 5 months ago, Pastor Prince at New creation church preached a sermon on the significance of the Lord's supper. How partaking it often would lead to good health prosperity and victorious living. Well, my family decided to do so on a regular basis and believe God for healing especially my injured shoulder was affecting the violin learning. Nothing miraculous happened immediately. The pain was still there and sometimes I would get discouraged. I tried to ignore the "symptoms" but the pain was glaring and raw. The Lord's supper routine continued almost daily since Rachel loved it so much and we understood the importance of it all.
Since the start of this new year, i thought the pain had fallen sharply. i seldom woke with much stiffness and shoulder ache. In fact, yesterday, 11 jan 2009 when I was rushing Rachel to her agape class (nursery class for 4 years old) I felt the old familiar ache still as i lift my right arm to press the elevator button. "When will it get well? sigh...I wondered!"
Later in the service, Pastor shared about his own healings through the Holy Communion and I remembered thinking "if it happen I would testify of God's goodness". Well nothing happened at that moment.
Last night after I had multi tasked completed many a house hold chores which included 2 rounds of laundry, placing dishes in the dishwasher and ironing 3 sets of work attire for my husband I thought hey, where's the pain??? Then it occured to me that the familiar ache was GONE. In fact, it was long gone as my hands had equalised. I mean the right hand do not feel so heavy as before and I had no problem lifting it above the shoulder level or placing it behind the back. These actions which normally involved much pain could only be done with help from the physiotherapist or my husband or my left hand. GOD had healed me completely. GASP. HALLELUJAH!
I went on the test out my bow arm on the violin. Boy the bow never felt so light and I had no problem bowing heavily or rapidly on both the G and D strings. I was elated. I had been worried about my violinistic progress as the importance of the bow arm cannot be over emphasized. Suddenly, the barrier to my violin progress is GONE too!!!!
I was so excited I sms my friends and relatives many of whom were pre-believers. I updated my facebook status to praise and thank God for his marvellous work!!!
I am completely and permanently healed, thanks to Jesus.
This morning I thought the coffee cup and the newspapers do not feel so heavy at all and I could carry rachel without any discomfort. WOW.
All praise and glory to God. Now I believe God will surely bless us with abundant living and prosperity. Thank you Jesus.
I had since email submit this healing testimony to the church as I believe God will use it to encourage many. Amen

Amen and amen! Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow! I watch Pastor Prince on satelite t.v. as many times I can each day! His teachiings are powerful, life-changing and freedom-filled! The Spirit of God is changing my life through Pastor Prince and I'm so grateful to be set free from the 'religion' and 'law' I've been fed little by little over the years. Pastor Prince has been taking me back to my born again experience which was pure love and all-knowing of all my sin and darkness. God's love sets us free from bondage!
I have been suffering with chronic fatigue for 13 yrs. I do not believe anymore that God is teaching me a lesson in patience or this is my cross to bear! I have had another illness for 2 yrs & my thought was 'I deserve this for sinning.' Hallelujah, I've been set free!! I am taking communion as well and will continue to praise God every day, walk with Him, use my authority against satan, and meditate on the goodness of Jesus and consider His sacrifice of love for me! I'm so happy for you to be healed! I celebrate your joy with you! Our God is good and His love endures forever!
Thank you for sharing your healing. My nearly 3 yo son has been sent home from hospital with terminal cancer. We have been praying for healing for 21 months now. I just read Pastor Prince's book on this topic over the week end. I am full of new hope and we have been taking communion with Leo, my son, twice a day. I am encouraged that your healing was not immediate as we are still waiting for Leo to be symptom free.
God bless you and your family,
From Rebecca in Australia
Thank you for this amazing testimony. I am blessed and inspired as I wait on my testimony as I partake of the communion daily.
