All I did was sit on the couch,

and complain, and cry, and just sit in pain.

My whole body hurt.

NARRATOR: In 2012, Barbara [INAUDIBLE]

started having intense stomach pains

and couldn't keep any food down.

Within a week, the pain became so unbearable,

she went to the emergency room.

Doctors diagnosed her with acid reflux and gave her medication,

but it didn't work.

So I end up suffering from terrible migraines, where

I would lose my balance.

Vision would blur, which made my stomach sicker.

NARRATOR: Barbara's symptoms continued to get worse.

Over the next two years, doctors and specialists

ran a multitude of tests trying to determine a cause.

They checked me for cancer.

They checked my thyroid, done three upper endoscopies,

a colonoscopy.

And they still could not find anything at all.

NARRATOR: Unable to eat anything except crackers and water,

she lost a third of her size and went down to 107 pounds.

BARBARA: My face aged quite a bit.

And I just looked very deathly ill.

My bones were poking everywhere.

Just-- you could see my collar bone poking out-- very crazy,

crazy looking.

NARRATOR: What bothered her most was not

being able to care for her children properly.

CHILD 1: I felt really sad that I didn't really

have my mama there.

I mean-- but whenever I was sick while she was sick,

she forced herself to get up and make me soup too.

CHILD 2: It would almost make me cry.

Like, I knew that she was suffering,

but I would still go over there and tell her

how much I love her.

BARBARA: I love my kids very much.

And every day, I would wake up.

All right, I'm going to fight this.

This is going to be the day that I'm going to be better--

and just to deal with the same suffering.

NARRATOR: In March of 2015, Barbara had to quit her job.

Then, she received a grim prognosis.

I had one doctor say that my body was just shutting down.

They didn't know why, and just to go home and die.

And I thought, well this is it.

I'm 107 pounds.

I'm have literally no energy.

I felt death inside of me.

NARRATOR: Barbara surrendered everything to God.

And I prayed to God to just let me die.

I couldn't handle it anymore watching

my kids watch me suffer.

NARRATOR: The next day, Barbara was watching TV when

she came across the 700 Club.

I had just eaten.

I think it was a piece of bread.

And I was doubled over in pain on a couch.

I knew it was a Christian channel,

but I had never watched it before.

At the end of that show, it said--

TV ANNOUNCER: Someone else, you have a problem--

an esophageal problem.

And it has something to do with your digestion.

God's healing that condition for you.

You'll not have any of those complications again.

It was like somebody was saying, hey, wake up.

This is for you.

You're healed.

It was like a burst of energy, which all I could say

would be like the Holy Spirit inside of me.

I felt happy.

I felt-- I felt healed.

NARRATOR: Barbara did something she wasn't

able to do in 3 and 1/2 years.

I immediately went and made myself something

to eat just to test the waters.

And I didn't have the stomach pain.

My body felt normal like as if I had never been sick.

NARRATOR: Barbara's back to her normal weight,

and in good health, and taking care of her family again.

BARBARA: You keep all faith and hope in God,

because he is the healer.

And the doctors can only do so much.

And then there's God.

God's right there.

He's got his hand on you, and you will be healed.
