Eyesight Supernaturally Restored

I started this life being unwanted, even before I took my first breath. After I was born, I was passed on to anyone who would take me. When I was old enough, I worked for wages I never saw. I was also abused multiple times and I never felt worthy nor accepted.

Even after accepting Christ when I was twelve, I felt He would not want me for long. When I attended church, I never felt worthy of God’s love, or accepted by His children. I did not dress well enough, I said the wrong things, and I felt judged and condemned with every message preached.

I was also baptized in the Holy Spirit, thinking that doing this would please God. My mother ridiculed my beliefs and thought I needed to see a psychiatrist after hearing me pray in tongues.

Years passed and I continued struggling in my walk with God and feeling that I failed Him at every turn. When I was thirty-five, I also began losing my sight due to an eye disease called “retinal pimentosa.” By 2006, I had no vision in my right eye and could only see with my left eye with a scope of vision that was limited to the diameter of a drinking straw.

At that time, I had moved to Marble in North Carolina and began watching Joseph Prince on television. Through the messages that Joseph Prince preached, I learned about Jesus, and Abba, my loving heavenly Father. I began to learn all that Jesus endured at the cross for me and how much He wanted a relationship with me. I began watching the broadcast daily and I would search my Bible, in Braille, over and over in utter disbelief. Could it be true, that by His stripes, I have been healed—even my eyes? I began to claim this verse for myself. I figured I could not lose anything, since I was already blind.

After listening to Joseph Prince for five months, my husband, Ned, was ready to retire. I began to fear this because my husband was steep into the law, and I just could not bear for him to tear into Joseph Prince’s ministry and scoff at his message of grace when he would have the time to watch Joseph’s broadcasts with me. As I had expected, after he retired, Ned sat with me in the mornings and watched the message that Joseph preached, and I braced myself for the battle that would begin.

I waited and waited, but nothing happened. Ned went over his Bible and notes, looking and studying, and he couldn’t believe it either—the gift of grace and the gift of righteousness were really scriptural!

One day, I told Ned while watching television, “Stop scratching your head!” Ned turned to me and said, “How could you have seen that?” That’s when I realized that my vision was restored. I raised my hands to my side and I could see my hands!

I went to my neuro-opthamologist, who specialized in the disease I was diagnosed with, and asked him to re-run all the tests. Needless to say, he was blown away. I now have near perfect vision—20/20 in my left eye and 20/30 in my right eye! I soon found out that my type-two diabetes and hypertension had also been healed! As Jesus is, so am I in this world.

My Lord Jesus and my Abba Father mean everything to me, and I am so thankful that through Joseph Prince’s gift of ministry, I have been able to see this for myself and experience growth through the continual hearing and reading of the Word.

Ned and I have become partners in sharing the gospel of grace for the last three years. We pray that Abba continues to bless you, as he has blessed us through you.
