This might be the most powerful testmony I’d love to share with all of you here. My story began in the year 2022 when Covid-19 was still a serious problem in our daily life …
It was early March, both my husband and me were positive for Covid-19 at the same time. The first thing we had to do was to send Jadon to KK hospital as soon as possible so that he would be safe. I’d like to express our gratitude to StarPal friends for making things worked out smoothly, and thank God KKH accepted Jadon on that day!
My husband told me the very night that Jadon was transfered to CICU from normal ward because doctors found out that his oxygen level was a bit low. The next day my husband went to hospital and stayed there till evening. I was updated that a big hernia was found inside of his body. As a result, stomach and pancreas as well as intestines all went up and pressing Jadon’s lungs which was the main cause of why his oxygen level was only at low 80s.
As you can imagine, a major operation was the only solution to the problem BUT surgeon said our son might die on the table and the chance we might just lose him was extremly high! I was suffering from sore throat and was still positive for covid 19, all I could do was kept crying day and night … It felt like the end of the world to me because it seemed everything back to how it was 6 years ago all over again. I’d never thought someday my son would go through this kind of life-threatening danger. I was so helpless and heart-broken facing the fear of losing my precious boy ONCE AGAIN. We were told this operation will be full of difficulties and the location of the hernia was very close to Jadon’s main artery which could lead to massive bleeding during surgery. Moreover, Jadon’s tissue and blood vesels can be very fragil because of Jadon’s medical condition. They worried that a few cut also could cause massive bleeding and if that happens, Jadon can easily die on the table…
In the evening, I texted my beloved church friend Wendy and told her what happened. She called me and said “God wants me to talk to you Mary.” and we were both crying as she was praying in tougues over me. I remember for the whole week, I couldn’t sleep nor eat much at all. I knew God is touchable and only He could save Jadon’s life. I remember very well those miracles He blessed me with some years back but I was trembling with fear 24/7 everyday.
There was a day 4 church friends organized a zoom call prayer for us as they couldn’t go and visit Jadon in the ward. It was one evening, as their prayers going on, I started to soaking and crying sadly, I mean tearing and crying like I lost my son already in great fear…
As Marcus was still praying shalom peace over us (we hadn’t made a decision to go for the surgery or not yet back then), something amazing happening… All of a sudden, my tightened throat was loosed and the uncontrollable tear was dried up like someone “turned off” my “taps”! It was too sudden that I didn’t know why and what happened at that moment, and I even tried to remember how to cry again and I just couldn’t do it！Technically I just COULDN’T cry! What happened next was even more “crazy”! Right after the prayer, I felt there was a sense of overwhelming warmth traveling through my chest area. More interestingly, I was smiling! Then we were still vedio chatting together, I told them what was happening and I pulled down my medical mask and showed them my sweet smile…
Most importantly, I knew God would be with me and He shall deliver my son! Each day I was facing the giant (surgery) with shalom peace and voilent confidence/faith in God.
The photo of ultrasound image you see here above was the scary situation we were facing. Even though God had blessed me with shalom peace, the fear was still there and the whole surgical team were worried and busy having meetings discussing how to do such a major and difficult operation. Well, the decision still had to be made as we didn’t have much time left…
A few days later, around 10 o’clock in the morning. There was a voice telling me to go and get a small notebook and write down the key notes of Pastor John Osteen’s sermons, and listening to his every sermon about Faith and Healing. So I did… I followed the guidance from Heaven, I took the bus and went to a stationary store and bought a pretty notebook I liked.
Since then, God had been guiding me and teaching me what I should do next… In other words, God gave me a 9 months private lessons and taught me how to build up my faith and how to ask and receive from Heaven.
These are the things I did day and night for 9 months.
1. Worshipped God every morning after i got up, kept singing until my throat getting dry.
2. Listened to Pastor John Osteen’s sermons about Faith and Healing only right after I finished worshipping. Each sermon (the same ones) I listened over and over and over, and I’ve still been doing it until today…
3. Worshipped God again and again whenever I’m free.
4. Took communion x6 times everyday in the hospital ward.
The date of Jadon’s surgery was 4th May 2022. I had 2 months to pray and ask God to bless me with a sucessful surgery, however it was not easy at all… for the surgical team side and for me on how and what to pray for.
These were the problems that made this operation extremly difficult:
1. The hernia was 6 inches big and very rare to see. The main surgeon told us that even they try to fix the big whole with the special materialed cloth, due to Jadon’s medical condition his connective tissue and fiber can be fragil and weak so that even we cover the big hernia, later on it might easily tear on anyday.
2. Because of the diagnose, as I mentioned above that doctors belived that Jadon’s muscles, connective tissues and everything are so weak that every cut they do during the surgery could cause massive bleeding.
3. The location of the hernia was very close to the main artery which could cause massive bleeding and Jadon would die on the table.
4. During one of the meetings with us, the surgeon said according to the CT scan image and medical report, they assume that Jadon’s esophagus most likely (cannot be 100% sure) stopped growing and that’s why stomach and some other organs were pulled up to the chest area. If that’s the case, even the surgery could be sucessful, they couldn’t put Jadon’s stomach and panceas back to the ideal location.
5. The boss of the whole surgical team was very against this operation, they strongly sugested we should not do it as we might lose our son on the surgery day.
As I listened to Pastor John Osteen’s sermons day and night, my Faith in God grew stronger and stronger as day went by. I was fully convinced that no matter what, God would give me miracles AGAIN because He is faithful to deliver His people from darkness. I knew that my son would NOT DIE!
So I had set my heart to seek the Lord in Heaven, and I knew I had to pray and keep praying until Jadon lives! The bible says ” You shall search for me and find me when you search for me with all of your heart”. So I read the Bible on God’s miracle healing and learnt how to have and keep the faith in God. I’ve also learnt the Law of Faith and God moves by our own personal faith. Since the voice told me what I must do … I decided to stop crying (because crying won’t touch God) and start to fight against my enemies by surrendering the battle back to God.
Even Jadon and us all were waiting for the day to come, my heart was rejoicing by praying to God and worshipping God day and night. Long story short, God heard me and He saw my Faith and He answered ALL my prayers!
For 2 months’ time, I’d been praying and commanding the organs to move down from the chest area. About 2 weeks before the schedueled date of surgery, Jadon had a sudden fever which caused the surgery was posponed. Interestingly, I could feel God had been working on my prayers all along and my 6th instinct telling me Jadon’s stomach was pulled down even I didn’t have any evidence of it back then… As the ward doctor was checking on Jadon’s lungs to make sure if he was ok because of the fever on that day. I saw this evidence from Heaven below … and it had blowed my mind…
YES！Lord Jesus pulled Jadon’s stomach and some part of the intestines down from the chest before the surgery!
God is so Good! You know what surprised me back then? I never saw Jadon frown or cranky because of any pain as doctors told me according to the CT scan image, messy organs would cause pain in the body. However I really didn’t see my son suffering from any pain since the first day he was there in KKH. Even until today I still cannot understand why and how…
Anyway, all I did was everyday and night praying and praising God. All the time throughout the days, I boldy declaring “My Jadon shall live and not die, and declares the works of the Lord! With long life God you will satisfy my Jadon! The days of my son shall be 120 years!” Because I’ve learnt that we manifest our faith with words, and life and death are in the power of the tougue. Even my eyes could not see God or miracles, even though my ears always heard doctors and surgeons said “The chance Jadon might die on the table is very very high” even on the surgery day, my heart was not shaken!
I remember Pastor John Osteen’s 2 cows story and it was “carved” inside of my head and heart! I knew very well that I had to keep asking and praying to God as long as my son is still breathing and alive. Even though 4th of May would be the so-called last day of my son’s life, BUT Jesus said “I will raise him up on the last day”!!
Since God is the only one who can let my Jadon live, and only God is the miracle worker… I had put all my trust in Him ONLY! I confessed God’s words daily and all the time. Pastor John said to confess means to say the same thing or to agree with. So I only said what God says about Jadon’s condition and life, only spoke life over my son NOT what human doctors said about him (Jadon).
I told myself just suppose the surgery day was the LAST day of my Jadon’s life… I had set my heart to seek the Lord Almighty and I was very convinced that God would let my son live and not die! So I kept on doing what I had been doing since early March, kept praying and praying and waiting for God to do the impossibles. Every day and night I spoke life over all the organs, tissues, fibers, muscles, blood vessels, veins …
I boldy declared before God day and night that “Lord Jesus, You are the master of Jadon’s surgical team! I boldy ask that You will be with my son Jadon in the operation room on 4th May, and God! Every cut and stitch they do, Lord You will guide their hands! Lord You work on the surgeons’ mind and bless them with wisdom from Heaven according to God’s way to do this major operation. My Jadon shall LIVE and NOT DIE to declare the works of the Lord, with LONG LIFE Lord Jesus You will satisfy my Jadon and show him Your salvation!”
Guess what? On the 4th private smaller meeting with us, the main surgeon said to us ” I’ve been thinking about key-hole surgery these few days even though I’m not sure if it’s gonna work well or not.” To be honest, I was shocked and so surprised to what she said.
Long story short, God really blessed us with a 9 hours long key-hole surgery with no massive bleeding! As for the big sized hernia, just as what I’d been praying for … surgeon’s own words “Interestingly, as we slowly pulled all the organs down from the chest area, the 6 inches big hole shrinking and closed up by itself into a small hole. So we only needed to cover and fix the small hole instead of the giant one.”
YES! God answered my prayers! HOWEVER, the battle wasn’t done YET… As the surgeon already told us that my son might also die from all the complications after the operation.
Jadon had a successsful major surgery with God’s protection, but he stayed in CICU for 5 long months time and he was intubated because his lungs were collapsed and his oxygen level dropped to low 30s on the oximeter machine … just about a week or so after the operation.
While the whole CICU team were still busy with intubating Jadon, one of the doctors showed me Jadon’s photo with fresh blood on each side of his nose.
I was heartbroken and feeling helpless … as I was right there standing at the corridor, looking at ALL the doctors and nurses were RUNNING to my son’s bed and trying their best to save his life at that moment, I thought I was going to lose my son…
Even though everything looked bad, I was praying in tougue and mumbling the Bible verse Psalm 91 … over and over
Even I was in great fear… I remembered very well how every time when darkness came to kill my son, Lord Jesus has always been there with us and how he blessed Jadon with miracle healing when all the doctors gave up on him.
After crying my eyes out for 2 hours, I “woke up” and kept on doing what I had been doing over the past few months. I knew Lord Jesus and angel armies were still fighting for us! I knew my son will be just fine because truly in my heart, I believe in God and I was convinced that God will defeat this “giant”!
Long story short, Jadon’s lungs, especially the right one… collapsed, so that he couldn’t breath on his own. He was intubated for 10 days and he was breathless. However, I didn’t put my hope on doctors because they are humans and they are limited. Even my eyes saw my son’s condition was very bad, my eyes and my heart were still towards Jesus! From the first day my son was intubated, during CICU doctors’ rounding time they came to me and told me Jadon needs to get tracheostomy because in their opinions and according to the great medical science, Jadon’s lungs would remain what it looked like in the x ray result and according to my son’s diagnosis, the deterioration was happening… I REJECTED THEM! OVER AND OVER! Because I believe our God doesn’t heal by digging a hole in my son’s throat!
So every time they talked to me over this matter of issue, I ignored and purposely stayed away from them by going to Ion shopping during those days as I already had panic attack! So every day and night I continued with praying as often as I could (daily), worshipping and listening to Pastor John Osteen and Steven Furtick’s sermons. Every day I saw Jadon’s breathing getting a little better, slowly but SURELY!
I respect medical science and all doctors as they are blessings from God. However, as a mummy, God is the ONLY one who can heal when my child is facing a death-sentence diagnosis because human doctors gave up on him and there is nothing they can do about it. I cannot and I DO NOT want to give up! As a mother, I want my son to live and not die!
While the whole world gave up on my Jadon, God renewed his genes and blessed my son with such beautiful hair. Moreover, Jesus TOTALLY HEALED my son’s epilepsy when neuro doctor told us that the 4 types of anti-seizure drugs wouldn’t do magic and my Jadon’s seizures would getting more and more! So there is no reason for me not to trust in God again this time!
I was very sure that my son didn’t need tracheostomy and God will expand his lungs back to normal shape, and Jadon shall breath on his own normally once again! My faith was strong enough to face all the darkness as I had a sound mind in Christ Jesus, so I told my husband to do the talking with the doctors whenever they want to get Jadon a hole in the throat, and I will focus on my prayers while God doing His miracle working job! I knew that I couldn’t allow anyone or anything to distract my faith in God.
After 5 months’ fight the good fight of faith, Jadon was transferred to HD ward. In early February 2023, I myself took off my son’s BIPAP machine WITHOUT DOCTORS’ PERMISSION!
