- A medical doctor who doubted spiritual healing witnessed his daughter's recovery after prayers at a church.

- The experience led the doctor to testify about the power of God, highlighting the combination of physical and spiritual actions for a new beginning.
A medical doctor, initially skeptical of spiritual healing, experienced a profound shift in belief after his young daughter's unexplained illness. The doctor, who believed healing was confined to biblical times, found his medical expertise insufficient when his daughter's fever persisted despite his best efforts. His mother then suggested taking the child to the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM), a church she attended.
He believes healing began and ended in the Bible days. Then suddenly his young daughter became ill.
At the MFM church, a series of prayers were offered for the child. To the doctor's astonishment, the girl's temperature normalized, and she recovered. This event challenged his scientific worldview, demonstrating that divine intervention could overcome even persistent medical conditions. The doctor later testified to the power of God, acknowledging that medical science alone was not enough to heal his daughter.
To the glory of God after series of prayers, the little girlโs temperature became normal and she got healed.
The narrative emphasizes the synergy between human action and spiritual power. The grandmother's faith in spiritual forces and her initiative to take the child to church represented the physical steps. This, combined with the spiritual action of prayer, resulted in a miraculous healing. The story serves as a testament to the belief that a combination of earthly efforts and divine intervention can lead to a new beginning, overcoming obstacles that seem insurmountable through human means alone.
The point here is that the power of God delivered the young girl from the forces of darkness.
