“I was diagnosed with tuberculosis and a cyst in my breast”

TOTAL HEALING

In 2018, I was diagnosed with tuberculosis and a cyst in my breast. At that time, I was undergoing job training and had to take a medical examination. When the results came out, I was told that I had failed the medical exam.

I still remember how afraid I was when the clinic called me to come in. The nurse said, “I’m sorry, but you need to go home for now. This is the result of your medical examination.” She explained that they needed a surgeon—not just a general doctor—because they had found signs of tuberculosis and a cyst in one of my breasts.

Even though I was already working as an assistant then, I was deeply afraid when I heard the news. I went home crying, with fear in my heart. I didn’t tell anyone about my diagnosis except my husband.

Despite my fear, I continued to hold on to my faith and serve God. For two weeks, I prayed and used Holy water and Holy oil. Every Sunday, I brought my water to church to be blessed, and each day, for two weeks, I drank the Holy water and I anointed my breast and chest with Holy oil. I also made it a point to come to church every Friday to pray and fight against the spirit of fear.

During that time, God reminded me of something important: not everything we see or hear should make us lose faith, because we have God within us. I began to believe that God could heal me completely.

After two weeks, I went to see the surgeon for another examination. To my great joy, the surgeon told me, “You are clear. There is no more cyst in your breast.” I then underwent a full medical check-up—including another x-ray—and the results showed that I was completely healthy and fit to work again.
