Five years ago, I had a hearing test at an otolaryngology clinic because I could not hear sounds well, and I was diagnosed with “congenital hearing loss.” The doctor said that if this difficulty continued, I might eventually need to wear hearing aids. In particular, I often could not clearly hear moderately loud voices or the ends of words, so I would misunderstand what was said or have to ask people to rep ...

Soojung Jung (Tokyo Tabata Manmin Church in Japan, Age 14)

In November, 2017, I started running for 30 minutes a day and doing muscle exercises to improve my physical strength. As I continued exercising, I felt good as my body became slim. I also became confident of myself. I gradually increased my work-outs and reduced the amount of food I ate.

However, this got worse from July, 2018. As I ate less meals and increased the amount of exercise more, I had a number of symptoms due to excessive weight loss and lack of nutrition.

As I exercised excessively, my toenails even became black and fell out several times. And when I exercised my muscles on a hard floor, the tailbone of my hip came out. Also, the skin on the heels peeled off so badly that it was very painful, and there were times when the muscles of the ankle were inflamed, which caused pains.

The obsession to be slim made me so hard that I cried a lot, but I could not stop my diet. I was also anxious, so I could not concentrate when I prayed or worshipped. At that time, I was 150cm tall and weighed 31kg.

The hospital examination result was ‘Anorexia’, and my father, Pastor Kyungtae Jung prayed for me. But because of the fear of gaining weight when my weight returns to normal, I didn’t want to be healed.

In the midst of this, because of the idea that I had to go on a diet, I increased my exercise capacity, and I rejected drinking water or swallowing saliva. I was afraid even to eat a little food. However, as I kept receiving the prayer with the handkerchief of power (Acts 19:11-12), my mind changed little by little.

As my feelings of pain and anxiety grew more and more, I started to think that my condition was serious, and finally I had a desperate desire to be freed from a very painful diet. Then, as my overall life changed, I was able to eat food gradually, and eventually I was completely freed from the obsession of diet.

Now I feel relieved, and I eat delicious food well. I am healthy. I give all thanks and glory to God the Father who delivered me from the swamp of anorexia that I could not get out of by myself, and gave me health and joy.
