Kavitha Was Healed of Glaucoma

My name is Kavitha. I was born into a Hindu family, praying to idols for 24 years. I was an unhappy person and always had problems. Everything I did was a failure but I still prayed to idols. I couldn’t believe that things were falling apart in my life. I thought, where is God? After 24 years I realised the god I was praying to was just stone and I was very upset about that. To hide from my problems and worries I went into drinking and smoking – although it was not really me to do such things. A man told me about the gospel. Because I was so arrogant and proud I rejected Jesus once and said He’s not for me. I moved on in life and felt like everything was turning against me. A lot of people close to me left me so I felt if God is real, why are such things happening to me and why is the world so unfair?

In 2005 I was diagnosed with glaucoma. I was bleeding from my eye. I had treatment for a year but it didn’t seem to get any better. In 2006 the doctor said I was going to go blind soon because I was internally bleeding from the retina. I thought why is this happening to me, if God is real why am I having so much suffering? I decided not to go for treatment. Since I was going to go blind, why should I have treatment? If things got worse, I decided I would kill myself. The man who told me about Jesus talked to me again and told me that the Lord can heal me. I didn’t believe him because if my god of 24 years didn’t heal me, how can your God heal me? I challenged him and said I will give your God a chance. if there really is a God let Him prove to me that He can heal me.

In 2007 I went to the prayer line and asked for a healing. I was baptised and received the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues. In 2008 at my check up the doctors couldn’t believe what had happened. They couldn’t find any trace of glaucoma; my eyes were in perfect condition!

The Lord has proved that He is the God I had been searching for all the time. From being a very negative person I became positive in myself. I always used to look down on myself and the Lord gave me the confidence to look to Him. I knew it was definitely not the doctors but it was the Lord who healed me.

Life hasn’t been easy but I know that with His strength I have overcome a lot of things. One of the biggest things was when my husband fell asleep in the Lord because he was ill with cancer. The Lord gave me the strength to overcome the situation and to lean on Him.

I am standing here to give a testimony because the Lord is still in my life and I thank Him for giving me such a life and a beautiful family in the Lord not only in Singapore but all over the world. I praise & thank Him for that.
