Though soon I wake up in the
morning, that was immediately--
that pain was getting me right
here in the top of my stomach.
It was like a fire, and then
makes me vomiting and vomiting.
Then I was all day
with that pain.
no relief.
I couldn't sleep
good, headaches.
It was making me feel all my
body not function for nothing.
The doctor gave me
some medication.
It helped me a little
bit, but then I
was starting feeling
that pain again.
It was like 24/7 my pain.
They put the camera
inside my stomach.
They do all tests that
a human being could
have in their body of the
stomach and everything.
But they never find nothing,
only a little bit acid reflux.
For two years, I was
suffering all that.
No eating, no nothing,
only drinking liquids.
It was the grace of God
that keep me every day.
So I have to go to the hospital,
to the emergency room almost
twice of every week.
They just put me a little bit
IV, calmed me the little bit
of pain, and send me home.
Because they didn't know what
else to do either with me.
I lost more than
30-something pounds.
I went almost to 73 pounds.
Honestly it would be time
and you wanted to give up.
We are human.
But I say no, Lord, you have
a purpose with all this.
That day, I wake up so like,
the worst day of my life.
Then we put "The 700
Club" like always.
We see Gordon.
And then he decide to
give a word of knowledge.
There's someone-- you've had
recurring problems with acid
reflux, and you've
damaged your esophagus,
and there's like a
permanent burning,
a permanent heart burn.
And you don't know what to do.
God's healed it right
now in Jesus' name.
And I put my hand up, and
I believe it like I told you.
It was instant, instant.
I feel that Holy Spirit.
It was something so beautiful.
And after that, no pain,
no nothing, nothing.
I stand praising God and
giving God all the glory,
all the glory to him for
the thing that he has done.
After two years and something,
I had some pancakes.
And I was eating.
Everything have a purpose.
Why I went through
with all this?
For I could be a blessing
for somebody else.
And yes, my faith has been
more strong than ever.
Yes, thank God.
