In June 2014, I had an itchy sensation on my head with fever. It spread to my eyes. I thought it was just a sty at first, but a stabbing pain on my head, fever and itchiness continued.
I visited hospital to find out what caused it. The doctor said it was herpes zoster. He said it could cause me to go blind and be spread to the bones. He added this is the only skin disease that requires patients to be hospitalized. That night I repented in Daniel Prayer Meeting that I had been in anxiety and hadn't given thanks and rejoiced though I said I believe in God. I knew that I should destroy the wall of sins standing against God to receive His answers.
On June 20, 2014, I went to my Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee to receive his prayer. I explained about zoster that it is caused by mental stress and weakened immunity as my doctor said. Then, to plant faith in me Dr. Lee said, "If that were true then should it not have happened to me?" Then he prayed for me. As I was receiving the prayer his sermon flashed through my mind: "There are no coincidences. Even when we trip over a small stone we should look back upon ourselves." Then I realized something had been wrong with me.
After finishing the prayer, he said to me, "Repent". I began recalling and typing things I should repent of. There were more than 30 things I had to repent of! I repented that I had felt uncomfortable, dozed off in services, had idle thoughts in prayer, insisted on my opinion in family matters, and the like. I repented in detail.
Two or three days later, pain on my cheekbones and neck bones, fever, and itchiness were all gone. The medical test also revealed I had been healed completely. Hallelujah!
It is said that if herpes zoster sets on one's head it can cause encephalomeningitis when it is severe. Up to 90% of virus usually remains dormant so it is said that shingles of the head and eyes is very dangerous. But I was healed of it through Dr. Lee's prayer in just a short while. I give all thanks and glory to God who blessed me to become filled with the Spirit again and live with hope for New Jerusalem.
