1 year, I had been away from the church. I was going to continue praying and reading the Bible among leaving the church, cause it was so busy everyday life since starting to work in the morning and the parenting of four kids from the age of two up to elementary school , I forgot both of reading the Bible and praying . When I was just looking for a new job and I would get a higher income from April,I was allowed a "disease" by God.



To start praying again for disease of unknown cause

And wrist joints of the hands and feet will hurt from around February of this year, felt a chill in the evening, had fever. I thought it was rheumatism, rather than rheumatoid, without knowing the cause, in the examination, I had spent in the hospital in the treatment of pain killers and electrical experts. I was difficult even to walk to get up ,and to lay also cause of the pain was

spread to all parts of the body in March, throughout the body was hurt. I began to pray again from that time. "Please help me from this suffering." I prayed only just .

God I was there beside me,

High fever of about 40 C started out, my body was about as like muscle cramps, and then my prayer changed to sobbing and just started weeping, because my whole body had pain and suffering. But I had a peace in my heart, the more painful was getting up. I felt the presence which God was very close to me, and He was watching me. I felt something big plans of God, it made me remind what was important I had been forgotten. I had feeling which was totally loved by God and had pleasure.

My eldest sister is belonging in this church, I had heard she told about my ill to the pastor, to people of church had prayed for me. I believed in God, also he would reply to the prayer of many other people, the prayer of my own, so that it would be healed.

Then,everything become obviously "adult-onset Still's disease" incurable sickness,and seeking to be healed.

However, it can not be determined, for confirmation, he wrote a letter of introduction to the Fukuoka university hospital for me. In result of checking with meeting among doctors, that sickness was "Adult Onset Still's Disease". From next day I had stayed in Hospital, then the treatment had started.

Taking large amounts of steroids, the symptoms disappeared in four days, I was released from suffering. The children were cared by a parents of my husband.

There is a history that she was going to church school in elementary school , have a great conversation with, such as the topic of God, the day before leaving hospital , through the pastor, she prayed to accept Jesus as Savior and clearly, she was saved. She repeatedly hospitalized in the state from the age of 18, of developing primary sclerosing cholangitis, waiting for a liver transplant, she was suffering from. So that after a few days, she was baptized in the Holy charismatic meeting, I was led also to the church for more than a year. God is mysterious. The plan of God is completely different from my plan. Now it had been reduced to 8 g from 60 g steroids. I would like to thank sincerely to God who had healed my disease, changed suffering and sorrow to the best.
