When I was 9 years old, suddenly the whole family started going to the Church, The Revival Fellowship. We hadn't talked about God at all before, we only went to church at midnight on Christmas, but that was all. Even so, I always knew that there was heaven and hell, and even though I was quite a little girl, I knew that I would definitely not go to heaven because I was quite naughty. I lied to my parents and took money and things like that at home.
When we started going to The Revival Fellowship, I felt a change in our family. I saw a huge change in my older sister who stopped having depression, she stopped crying in bed every night, but instead started singing and was happy. I saw a change in my parents. They started communicating differently and dealing with me differently than they did before. I really liked the change, so over time I began to pray at meetings to receive the Holy Ghost. A few months later, as I was repenting of my sins, of which there were many, even though I was only 11 years old, I received the Holy Spirit and spoke a new language, as described in the Bible. The next day I was baptized by full immersion in water, as written in the Bible.
I have known God for more than 25 years, and during that time God has blessed me very much in many ways. When I was 18, I contracted mononucleosis and the doctors told me that I would have to undergo a fairly strict treatment, at least 6 months. Of course, as an 18-year-old girl, I didn't like this verdict at all, and I didn't want to go through anything like that. My family and I prayed for healing. During the next check-up, which was about 5 days after which I was to be notified of the method, duration and form of treatment, the doctor informed me that I did not have to undergo any treatment, that I was healthy.
Another huge miracle was when I first became pregnant. During the check-up at the 20th week of pregnancy, I was informed that I had acute toxoplasmosis, and according to the blood results, I most likely became infected during pregnancy, which was the greatest risk for the baby! I was told that my baby, if infected with the virus, could be - to any extent mentally or even physically handicapped, which was a terrible shock for me and my husband! The doctor gave me medicine to protect my baby. I started taking medication with the idea that everything would be fine because of it. But the opposite was true. I was very sick after the medication, I vomited almost all day. After a week, I went for a check-up and the test results were again positive for acute toxoplasmosis, so I had to continue taking the medication. But with the threat that if I continue to vomit, I will have to go to the hospital and be drip. I was really unhappy about this, but I realized that I had not given God a chance to help me.
My husband and I started praying more, but I was still really sick after the medication. I decided to trust God fully and give Him full power to work a miracle. I stopped taking the medication. The moment I stopped taking the medication, I was able to eat normally again, but most of all I was happy and I knew that God would work a miracle. At the next check-up, I returned the medicine to the doctor and told her that I believed in God's miracle, and she laughed at me. They did blood tests on the same day and the results for toxoplasmosis were negative! Twice a positive test for acute toxoplasmosis and a 3rd test with a result of "Negative" - that the virus is not present at all! The rest of the pregnancy was normal.
However, at birth, the daughter was without oxygen for a longer time and had a blood problem. In the maternity hospital where I gave birth, they were not equipped for such postpartum care. They took our newborn daughter to another hospital and I had to be left alone in the maternity hospital without a baby. I felt really bad. The whole congregation prayed for my daughter, and when I called the hospital where she was taken, they told me she was perfectly fine, healthy, and safe! I truly thank God for this miracle.
(at that time the internet was not everywhere and I had all the information only from doctors - only later I read on the internet that whoever gets the toxoplasmosis virus during pregnancy is an extremely high risk to the fetus and that there are no drugs that would 100% protect the fetus from infection. Otherwise the virus is not dangerous for humans. When a person becomes infected with this virus, the virus remains in the body in a passive form forever and is only dangerous for pregnant women if it becomes infected during pregnancy.)
During the second pregnancy at week 16, I was told that the baby had a high risk of having a cleft anywhere in the body, or other physical defects, as well as a risk of Down syndrome. From previous experience with doctors, I knew that doctors could not help me with the given diagnosis. My husband and I went down on our knees again, praying with confidence in God that he would work a miracle again. After the prayer, we both knew that God was with us, and we both had incredible peace. Nevertheless, the doctors sent me for a more detailed examination, where it was to be determined how extensive his disability would be. However, the examination showed that the baby was OK. Our son was born completely healthy.
I thank God for his help, care for me and my family. These are not the only miracles I have experienced in those 25 years. I witness when God healed my dad from Hepatitis C, when he broke his neck and should not have been here for a long time, but God has protected him and he is healthy without consequences or difficulties. I saw how God healed my daughter from sore throat, or when she bit her tongue through in the first year and God not only completely calmed her after prayer, but also stopped the bleeding and took the pain. God cured me and my daughter of migraines and toothache. I can say that my God is a living God, and that He cares for me, He protects me every day. Whether things are small or big, I know that I can turn to Him, but most of all I know that HE is true and that I He always hears.
