The healing hands of God saw her through
The Bible says, in James 5:16, that the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Well, Reverend Lesline Henry of the Johns Hall New Testament Church of God in Clarendon knew exactly what that meant when she suddenly fell ill some months ago.
Henry testified that she fell ill one Wednesday night while conducting Bible study at her church.
“I had just started reading the Bible when suddenly, I felt a sensation in one of my feet. Then I started stuttering and repeating the words I was saying, but I was still conscious. I said to myself that something was wrong. I then felt a numbness in my mouth,” Henry said.
She said that she told herself that it could have been a stroke, and asked how was she going to get out of it.
She noted that she attempted to move away from the podium, but had difficulty doing so and had to be taken to the hospital for observations.
“The doctor interviewed me, and I was admitted. When I was placed on the ward the situation worsened, because I was not seeing clearly. My vision went blurry, and my senses were not 100 per cent. That was when I realised that it was really a stroke that I had had,” she said.
The churchwoman shared that she spent nine days in hospital, but persons visited her and prayed with her.
Henry said that she increased her faith in God, and on the 10th day, she was discharged.
