Does anyone have any personal healing testimonies to share? This one is about my nephew from a couple of years ago. My nephew had suddenly become very ill and was vomiting. He was taken to the hospital by his roommate and admitted to the ICU. As it would turn out he was suffering from pancreatitis, which in turn caused acute kidney failure. The doctors said if he waited another day to go to the hospital, he probably wouldn't have made it. It was literally a life-and-death situation. Once stabilized, they were able to take him out of the ICU and put him in a hospital room. He had to be monitored carefully and had to have dialysis since his kidneys were not functioning.

We were notified of his condition, and a word of the Lord came to my dad to pray that He (God) would jumpstart my nephew's kidneys. My mother thought the wording (jumpstart) was strange, but nevertheless we began to pray for him. Nothing happened instantly. In my experience, answers to prayer are usually gradual or happen at a later date. In the meantime, we had heard from his mother. The doctor had said that if his kidneys had not jumpedstarted by now, they probably wouldn't. There's that word again, "jumpstart." Now, we didn't mention anything about what my dad had said, and yet the doctor used the same exact word. This was a confirmation that we were on the right track.

Here comes an important lesson. In the natural, it didn't look like there was much hope. The doctor had already said in effect that it didn't look like his kidneys were going to function. The best-case scenario is that he would be on dialysis for the rest of his life and would have to go three times a week. For a time, his vitals were getting worse. They had to remove fluid that had built up in his chest. He developed a fever, and they had to take him back to the ICU because they thought it might have sepsis. Now, despite all of this, we never quit praying. You can't look at how things look or what the doctor says. The doctor does not have the final word; God does. Perseverance is a big key to victory.

The first time I went to see him, he looked weak, but he still had his sense of humor. He was on a liquid diet since he was very dehydrated. When my brother (his father) visited him, he told him his kidneys were dead. He had gone past the point when his kidneys should have started to function. There were still many people praying for him. I was also still praying his kidneys would function on their own again and that he would leave the hospital on his own two feet. And that's exactly what happened.

My parents had gone to visit him again, but I was not with them. Imagine my surprise when my mother called me and told me his kidneys were 95% functioning and he would be leaving the hospital that day or the next day. I was taken aback in a good way. I had no doubt that it was a miracle. I don't know when the change occured exactly, but when it did, it was sudden. He would later tell his dad that he didn't know what had happened; his vitals were bad, and then suddenly they were good again. My nephew is proof that healings do still happen.
