My Unshakeable Faith in Jesus
I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed – 2 Tim 1:12 (NIV)”
I wrote about everything in detail regularly to my family in India about my personal encounter with Jesus Christ, the miracles happened in Karthi’s life, the love and the help being shown by Christian friends in USA and also over the phone every week. Brother Verghese Pulikottil wrote to Sam Uncle, one of his relatives in Madras. Sam Uncle, his wife and their friends visited my family regularly in my absence and extended all moral support and comfort to my family in addition to prayers. Their regular visits, prayers coupled with my letters about Jesus Christ sowed the seeds of faith in my family also. Probably Satan did not like it and he wanted to play around. The shunt fixed below the brain of my son failed for the third time and his condition worsened again on 31st January
2001. Having carried out so many surgeries on him already, the Neurosurgeon was skeptical now. He called me and said consolingly and hesitantly that immediate surgery was needed for my son but he was not in a position to give any guarantee for his life or for the success of the surgery. He said that even if my son survived, he might not be able to walk, marry or go for a job in his life. That was the limit of their medical profession and acumen! I had unshakeable faith in the healing power of Jesus. Reflecting that faith in my talk, I told those Christian doctors in undeterred tone “My son will survive, he will get up and walk and he will be all right. You do not know the power of Jesus. He will send His Word and heal him and deliver him from destruction (Ps 107:20). Now that you have raised your hands of inability, you will now see for yourself the miracle-working power of the Lord. Go ahead and do the surgery”. After telling this I walked out of doctor’s chamber, firmly, with a heart brimming with faith and hope!
