Counting God's Blessings - Healing from Hemorrhage, Back Pain and Other Ailments
I am Sister Ruth (Wu Guiling). I thank to God for loving me and giving me the opportunity to count His blessings and share the wonderful works He has done in my life!
I was born into a farming family and started doing farm work from a young age - regularly going up mountains to cut and carry firewood, carrying rice straw from fields, and hauling water for irrigation. With so many daily chores, I was always rushing to finish them and not knowing how to conserve my energy, I carried very heavy loads each time. Over time, not only did my back hurt when carrying heavy burdens, but also gradually I felt back pain when squatting, sitting, lying down or getting up, sometimes even I couldn't straighten my back.
Later, I worked at a factory in my hometown. The long-term intense assembly-line work not only exacerbated my back pain but also led to cervical vertebra pain, which gradually compressed nerves and triggered dizziness. Once, a particularly severe dizzy spell left me feeling as if the world was spinning so badly that I couldn't open my eyes or stand up. I was nauseous, vomited, and suffering from tinnitus. My family took me to the hospital where I was diagnosed with vertigo.
After that, I visited hospitals several times due to the dizziness, but I didn’t get treatment and could only continue enduring it. The cervical spondylosis, vertigo, back pain, and numbness in hands and feet caused me insomnia. I felt extremely tired and achy and was unable to fall asleep frequently.
I also worked as a hotel housekeeper, where the heavy daily workload of cleaning rooms left my body aching daily, particularly in my shoulders, which always felt heavy and painful. After several years, this led to severe shoulder strain injury.
Due to years of heavy physical labor, I became very irritable and quick-tempered. I often got angry and had conflicts with my parents. Poor dietary habits that consist of eating spicy, sugary and fried food is what I love caused my severe constipation. My stools were too dry to pass, sometimes even bleeding, and I could only get relief using glycerin suppository. The constipation made me feel my body is heavy, as if carrying a thousand-pound weight that made even walking feel laborious.
My first C-section made matters worse, my menstrual cycles suddenly became irregular, lasting 15 days each time. I thought this was normal after childbirth and would recover after some time, but it continued until two and a half years later, my second C-section, when the symptoms actually worsened. Each period was extremely heavy, almost like hemorrhaging. Even with the thickest sanitary pads changed within an hour, blood would still leak through my pants.
The menstrual blood had a strong foul smell with many black clots. During periods, my back would hurt too much to sit, and I would experience dizziness and sore throat. I had many spots and wrinkles on my face with sallow complexion and dry skin. I was so weak and tired that I couldn’t walk far without resting.
Over a decade, I saw many Western and Chinese doctors and spent a lot of money on medicine, but nothing could cure me. Later I learned this condition was called hemorrhage. Day after day, I suffered from cervical spondylosis, vertigo, back pain, shoulder strain, insomnia, constipation and hemorrhage. This made me frown with worry every day, suffering in pain and becoming irritable and sensitive. I felt discouraged and negative about my health - since doctors couldn't cure my illness and I had no solution myself, I gave up trying to manage it. The physical discomfort gradually made me more narrow-minded, affecting my ability to maintain good relationships with others and often leaving me with the feeling that I was being treated unfairly.
I thank to God for His mercy that a sister who told me about Pastor Wang Shengfeng's "Healing and Revival" conference in Beijing, where he released an anointing of healing that cured many people of various diseases. I was very happy when I heard these testimonies and knew that he would hold a conference in Shenzhen. I suddenly felt hopeful and immediately registered for this conference. Thanks to God for fulfilling my wish - in early June 2016, He led me to attend Pastor Wang Shengfeng's "Healing and Revival" conference in Shenzhen.
01. Healing of Hemorrhage During the Conference
At the conference, Pastor Wang preached repentance deeply touching my heart and filling me with spiritual joy. Although I had been a Christian for 24 years, my life had never been renewed, and I didn't know how to receive God's healing. This time, I truly hoped God would heal my body and let me experience His faithfulness!
During the conference, God released an anointing for healing various diseases through His servant Pastor Wang Shengfeng. I believed God would heal me and eagerly desired healing for my physical ailments, so I received the anointing in faith. Thank God! God is faithful - what is believed will be received.
Ten days later, I had my period, which only lasted 7 days. The blood was bright red, without foul smell or clots, and the flow was normal. There was no back pain, dizziness, or sore throat. My sleep improved, the spots and wrinkles on my face decreased, my skin became fairer, my complexion became rosy, and I felt physically lighter with better stamina. My heart was filled with joy! Thank God for healing my 14-year hemorrhage! Hallelujah! Thank and praise to God! Glory to God!
02. Healing of Back Pain, Cervical Spondylosis, and Shoulder Strain During Bible Study
After my hemorrhage was healed at the conference, God made me feel like my burdens were lifted and my mood greatly improved. I wanted to receive more healing from God, hoping my back pain, cervical spondylosis, and shoulder strain would also be healed. In late June 2016, I attended a Bible study at Pastor Wang Shengfeng's Rich in Christ Church.
During the newcomer welcome session, Pastor Wang asked about my wishes and encouraged me to speak boldly, saying that if I believed God could accomplish it at Rich in Christ Church, I should speak it out. I shared about my various ailments - back pain, cervical spondylosis, and shoulder strain - and believed God could fulfill my wish to heal these conditions. Thanks to God that through Pastor Wang's prayer of blessing, my back pain of over twenty years, cervical spondylosis of over five years, and shoulder strain were all instantly healed. Hallelujah! Thank God! Glory to God! Thanks to God for loving and healing me.
After God's healing, I felt especially light in my body. Not only did I not feel tired while working, but I felt energetic. After work, I no longer felt various pains, my hands and feet were no longer numb, my vertigo was gone, and since then, I've had no more insomnia. My heart feels bright and I'm joyful every day!
Since then, I've consistently attended Bible studying meetings. Although it requires a 40–50-minute car ride and schedule adjustments, and I get home late after Bible studying, I'm never late. God has renewed my life and strengthened my faith. Through Pastor Wang Shengfeng's teaching of truth, God helped me realize that my impatience and anger affected my interpersonal relationships, and these were issues I needed to repent of. When I turned my heart around, God led me to repent and restore my relationships with colleagues, allowing us to forgive each other. God even gave me opportunities to witness and share the gospel to them, making me sincerely hope they would also receive God's blessings!
03. Healing of Constipation
Thank God! His grace is sufficient for me. After God restored my relationships with colleagues, God led me to continue attending the church's Friday prayer meetings. During worship and prayer, I began to fart continuously and then went to the bathroom. This time, the bowel movement was very smooth, and I felt especially comfortable afterward. Since then, God has healed my constipation, and every bowel movement has been smooth.
Thank God for loving me, renewing me, and leading me to Rich in Christ Church to walk the path of confession and repentance and healing my back pain, cervical spondylosis, shoulder strain, vertigo, numbness in hands and feet, hemorrhage, constipation, and other ailments.
Through His servant Pastor Wang Shengfeng's teaching of truth, God has made my life different. Thank God for preparing this spiritual family for me. May God remember and bless Pastor Wang Shengfeng! May all thanksgiving, praise, glory, and power be to God! Amen!
