In May this year, I was diagnosed with diabetes when my hemoglobin A1c level reached 7. Hemoglobin A1c refers to hemoglobin combined with sugar in red blood cells, and when blood sugar remains high, this level also rises. It is widely used to diagnose diabetes, and the normal range is 4.0?6.0. A level of 6.5 or higher indicates diabetes, but mine had gone up to 7. ...
He opened both my ears, and now I can hear very well!
Honorary Senior Deaconess Kyosun Kim | 86, Parish 4 in Manmin Central Church
My hearing in both the ears has gradually deteriorated since 2020. It has worsened over time. Because I couldn’t hear well, while I was talking to someone, it happened that another person next to me tapped me and said, “Hey! Are you hearing me?” Then, I could continue to talk with them by looking at their lips. I turned up the TV in the living room, and it often made my children uncomfortable in their room. In May of 2024, I had a hearing test at the hospital by the urging of my family, and was diagnosed with a kind of hearing impairment. The hospital issued me a welfare card and a disabled transportation card, and told me that I needed to wear a hearing aid. I got the hearing aid, but I desired to get healed by faith at the coming summer retreat which was scheduled to be held in July. I fasted three days three times and attended a 21-day Vowed Daniel Prayer Meeting. I earnestly prayed to God every day, saying, “Please open up my ears!” On July 29, I was in a church van destined for the summer retreat venue and suddenly a loud sound “snap!” was heard in my left ear like that of breaking a branch off a tree. Immediately I looked around to find where it was, but no one else there heard it. I was a little confused, thinking, “What’s this? I heard it loudly enough…” I enjoyed the event fully and voluntarily helped the sick around me, which caused me to feel thankful for God’s grace. I listened carefully to the message delivered by Speaker Pastor Soojin Lee and I was so much blessed. I earnestly received her prayer for the sick with faith. While she was leading a campfire worship praise, I fervently sang praises to God and was filled with gratitude. It happened on July 31 when I came back home from the event. I turned on the TV and it was too loud. I quickly turned it down. Instantly I found that I had heard the “snap!” sound in the van because God had my ears opened. And I was convinced that God had been pleased with my fasting and prayers and healed me on the way to the summer retreat. I give all thanks and glory to our good God who healed me and made me hear well without a hearing aid. Hallelujah!
