What if dead skin cells kept peeling off from your body?
The psoriasis dermatitis had troubled me so much from the time I was a sensitive 14-year-old girl. My feelings were often hurt especially during my years in school. The times remained in my heart like a bruise. I worried about the eyes of others looking at me because of the dead skin cells that were on my body and my clothes. So I could not wear what I wanted.

My parents tried so hard to have me healed through medicine. When I took the medicine, I seemed to get better for the moment, but the symptoms appeared again and again. I could not be healed completely. Even when I turned 30 and became a mother, I still suffered from it.

This psoriasis dermatitis can be caused by the lack of moisture in the skin. It could lead to extreme itchy sensation and dead skin cells to appear. It usually appears on elbows, knees, head, and bottom. It could be easy to develop chronic dermatitis and reoccur even after treatment.

It was spring in 2007. The psoriasis dermatitis was spread to my whole body that it was horrible to see. It had been only spots on parts of my body before, but it became very serious. Even a rough rash with small seed-like lesions was found. On the rash were dead skin cells.

I looked back on my life because I knew that the cause of diseases lies in the wall of sin against God. One thing came to my mind. I went on a family outing to a ski resort in New Year's Day of 2007. At that moment, I thought to myself for a moment, 'I have been working for the Lord earnestly. I think I can take a rest from the work for a while.' Afterwards, I stopped praying and paid no attention to my God-given duty as a cell-leader. My Christian life was getting lukewarm.

The thought came up, and I repented with tears. I began to remind myself of the love of the Lord who was crucified for me and think of ways to repay His grace.

I tried not to be lazy in visiting my cell members and preaching the gospel. Even though the symptom of the dermatitis appeared on my face, I did not mind others' eyes, because I was so sure that I would be healed.

I received Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer three times. After the first prayer, it became worse. But I had no doubt I would receive healing. After the second prayer, it went better little by little.

On April 27th, 2007, I was completely set free from the dermatitis which had troubled for 26 years after the third prayer. I glorified God with my healing testimony on the altar during Divine Healing Meeting in June, 2009.

Afterwards, my family came to have peace. My husband's tithe is increasing as he leads a fervent Christian life. My eight-year-old son serves God as a member of Children's Sunday School Praise Team. My six-year-old daughter has given glory to God by receiving many prizes in church events.
We give all thanks and glory to the Lord who healed me and made my family stand in faith.
