Severe Itching and Ulcers on the Skin Healed by God's Grace

I thank God for giving me, sister Susanna Tang, the opportunity to make a glorious witness for God! Everything is God's mercy!

 

In November 2015, I suddenly had itchy skin all over my body except my neck and above (which was because of God’s great mercy), and my whole body was incredibly itchy. Because of the intense itch, I couldn't help scratching with my hands, but when I exerted a little pressure, my skin would bleed, and I kept itching, scratching, bleeding and wiping continuously, and wherever I went, there was a pile of tissues around me. The skin all over my body got better and worse, worse and better. Soon the bleeding on the surface of the skin turned into a small amount of serum and yellow scabs began to form. During that time, my clothes were covered in blood and had to be changed daily.

 

Due to my own pride and ignorance, and contempt for others, even though pastor Wang Shengfeng and fellow church members repeatedly reminded me to examine myself and repent, I didn't take it seriously. Because I had never had a skin disease before, I believed this one would disappear soon. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore and bought special anti-itch creams, but they were ineffective, and the itching only got worse and worse. For two years in summer, I didn't dare to wear short sleeves or skirts. Even so, I believed it didn't affect my daily life. I didn't realize that if the itching continued to develop and fester, it would really affect my life and more importantly, it would not glorify God.

 

Every time we gathered in church, I kept scratching, and when my fellow church members saw me, they all found it unbearable to watch my condition. Upon hearing this, I began to think about what to do. I thank God for telling me through pastor Wang to confess my sins and repent, and that he would pray for the healing of my itching skin. At first, I was quite resistant, but then God stirred some circumstances where I was moved and I was pushed to seek help from a fellow church member for a ministry of confession and repentance in the latter half of 2016. I confessed that I often committed sins such as being too proud to know myself, self-righteousness, showing off, coveting the world, and being stubborn and rebellious. At that time, my heart was not truly humbled, and I was unwilling to deal with my sins, so the effects of accepting the ministry of sin-confession were not significant, and my original skin condition was not healed. Due to the lack of repentance, the itching became worse and worse, and my whole skin was already piled up with layers of scars.

 

By the end of July 2017, my skin itching intensified, and ulcers began to appear on some parts of my body. Thank God for His loving reminder through pastor Wang Shengfeng, who said that continuous skin bleeding for a long time can easily lead to local skin or soft tissue infections, and in severe cases, it can lead to septicemia (blood poisoning). Hearing about such serious consequences, I became anxious and wanted to ask pastor Wang to pray for my healing. So, I turned to pastor Wang, hoping he would pray for my skin condition. I thanked God for His mercy and grace, who moved pastor Wang to pray for my skin disease. He said that when he saw me in pain, he felt compassion for me. Later, pastor Wang prayed for the healing of my skin disease, and instructed me to receive the Holy Spirit’s supernatural healing anointing released by God through pastor Wang's prayer in faith. God also sent me a prophecy through pastor Wang that my skin would become as fair as before again. I thank God for His mercy!

 

A few days after the prayer for healing, the itching of my skin stopped, and the wounds on my skin soon formed scabs, which fell off afterwards, and new skin appeared. Since the itching stopped, I didn't scratch anymore, and there was no more bleeding. My clothes were clean, and there were no more bloodstains, and I was in a better mood and dared to wear short sleeves and skirts.

 

However, half a month later, I sinned against God again because of my lack of vigilance, and my new skin began to itch again. I thank God for that! Pastor Wang reminded me again and again: "If you still do not repent, a wooden yoke will be replaced by an iron yoke."  “Go and tell Hananiah, ‘This is what the LORD says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. (Jeremiah28:13 NIV) “ ‘If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over. (Leviticus26:18 NIV) Upon hearing these words from God through pastor Wang, I became scared again and sought ministry from fellow church members to confess and repent, clear wrong thoughts, intensify repentance, come closer to God, and read God's words more. After this ministry, my new skin stopped itching, and it gradually got better, but there was still a scar mark on it. But at that time, I still had little faith. I was so proud that I wanted to wait until there were no more scars on my skin before I wrote my testimony, and I didn't give God the glory that He deserved in time, and I owed Him a great deal!

 

I thank God for His good work in my heart, which gave me a thankful heart again, and made me think of how rebellious I was. Without God's mercy and pastor Wang's loving intercession for me, I might still be suffering from the pain of the skin disease, so I was willing to repent sincerely and write such an important testimony of God's presence in my life, counting God's grace! When my heart changed and I was willing to write my testimony, I found that my skin was getting better and better and became smooth and fair as the pastor had said in his prophecy, and the scar marks had faded. After experiencing God's healing, I continued to walk on the path of confession and repentance, as Pastor Wang taught, cleansing my sins from time to time, living a holy life, keeping myself always in God's love, and not sinning any more, so that the spirit of this skin disease wouldn't come back to attack me again, and my skin disease was truly healed. Hallelujah! 


I thank God for bringing me to Rich in Christ Church. Through His servant, pastor Wang Shengfeng, God leads us to walk the path of confession and repentance. I pray that God will remember what Pastor Wang Shengfeng has done for my growth with a father and mother's heart! May God greatly bless pastor Wang! Glory and power be to God!
