Miracle healer. How many of us have heard of such a term before? Miracle healers are those who heal others without much aid from modern technology as well as advances in the field of medical science. They don't have licenses nor a degree. They never went to school to study about healing. Nope. None like that whatsoever. They are not like doctors who assess, diagnose and then prescribe whatever medicines there are in the market for the person to get better. They aren't even considered professionals but somehow, a vast proportion of the nation's population still go to them to be healed. Why? What do they have that makes them so in demand? The answer? Faith.
Being in my third day of my 90 days to a million challenge, I was called by my mentor to come with them to Consolacion. They said I needed it. So there I sat in the backseat of their car at the middle between Tita Gloria, Tito's relative and oh, Cheska (the family dog, who isn't really a dog but a human in a dog's body. Just kidding xD) I was contemplating and was a bit nervous as to what form of challenge I was to undergo on this day. Small chit chats were made along the way mostly about my life which I was happy in sharing. I really feel at ease with my mentor and his family. It's like I have found my second family in them. Somehow, because of them, I no longer feel alone and empty. It's like I finally found my circle! So there I sat at the backseat, telling them about my life and my condition. My heart condition. Now I knew why they said I needed it. Every little thing became clear to me when they told me we were off to meet a miracle healer.
We arrived in Consolacion at my mentor's relative's house. It was big but the people in there were so accommodating that I felt no empty space from the 4 story house. They gave us lots of food and boy, oh boy! My mentor's relative sure knows how to cook! But that's another story xD We were at that house waiting for the miracle healer to arrive.We waited for like an hour or two making chit chats while we were at it. And then she came.
The miracle healer was a lot different than I expected. Honestly, I expected an old, wrinkly woman. Heck, I even expected an old man with a white bandana on his forehead chewing some sort of herbal leaves in his mouth! But no, the miracle healer turned out to be much younger than I imagined. She was short and sort of frail and had really long, black hair and was simply dressed. I stared at her for like a moment, impressed as to how this woman came to be known as THE miracle healer. She carefully gathered her "healing" stuffs and placed them in a chair beside her. She arranged another chair in front of her where my mentor immediately sat. The miracle healer situated herself at my mentor's back which was then already bare. She then started her healing "ritual".
I observed the miracle healer. I noticed the way she rubbed her hands with some sort of oil. The way she moved and glided her palms towards my mentor's back. It was nothing special for me. I see that all the time with the manghihilots in our town. But as soon as she started blowing air on my mentor's back for each time she glided her hands, that was when I became interested. Not only that, she also finishes off her "touch" with a strip of salon pas. (it's a sort of patch that you put on your aching body part's skin). The miracle healer was different than most healers I've encountered. Mostly, the ones I have encountered only do plain hilot with a haplas but this one was different. And my sentiments were supported when it was finally my turn to be healed.
The miracle healer first asked me what my condition was. I told her I had a heart condition (Mitral Valve Prolapse). She immediately grabbed my wrist and pressed on it for a couple of seconds or so. Now, being a nurse, this wasn't new to me. I knew she was counting my pulse rate. But still, the things she did after that made me dumbstruck. She rubbed some oil on her hands then lifted my shirt up. What made me astonished was when she immediately pressed on my upper back. That was exactly the same location I let someone press every time I had a hard time breathing. How did she know that? 0_____________0
"You have a hard time breathing and it usually occurs at night." I nodded. That was true.
"When you do manage to breathe, you feel a sensation that radiates on your chest. " Still true.
"You toss and turn when you sleep as you try to breathe." So damn true.
"The only way you can manage to return to normal is when you press this part right here." So trueee!
Wait, hold up! How in the world did she manage to know these things? The miracle healer then told the now amazed crowd there to see the reason behind my condition. There's this sort of lusay in my back and she said that a nerve in my heart is being compressed thus the reason why I tend to have a hard time in breathing. I was so amazed! Never before have I experienced a miracle healer knowing the things I go through without me even telling her! I guess she's the real deal after all.
I managed to get tidbits of my miracle healer's personal life. I asked her some random things and upon getting to know her more, the more I became amazed with her. She told me that when she was 18 years old, she kept getting dreams and visions about her healing people. When she finally decided to accept her fate as a miracle healer, she told me a golden statue of Sto. Nino appeared on her altar. Every time I recall that information, I get goosebumps over and over again! I mean who wouldn't? She's helped a lot of people get better and yet she still stays humble. She keeps saying that it's not really her who's healing people, but Christ the Almighty Himself. She told me that through her healing, she has managed to let her family members finish their studies and succeed as better individuals in life. With that, I was able to appreciate her even more.
My miracle healer is truly a miracle and has already performed all sorts of miracles for others at such an early age! (she's now in her 40s). She shared to me how she has managed to heal people of varying ages with cancer and other life threatening conditions. With just a gliding touch from her warm hands, who would think that one's ailing condition would be better if not, go away? And many people could and would attest to her healing! My mentor's relative could not stop from going on and on about how the miracle healer has helped her husband get better. Her husband was experiencing something in the past that had to do with his pancreas and the doctor suggested he was to be operated lest they wanted it to become cancerous. A friend suggested that they first approach a bisayang mananambal before they resort to any drastic measures. It was as if it was God's plan that they got to meet the miracle healer. It was no accident. God purposefully designed these three individuals to meet. To make the story short, the relative's husband got better even to his doctor's surprise. The doctor even asked, "where in the world did you go for his pancreas to get better like this?". Aside from the relative's husband, the miracle healer has healed a lot of others who had more serious, life threatening conditions than a failing pancreas. She has healed a baby who was on the verge of death, clinging on a ventilator for life support. The doctors told the baby's family that there was no hope left. But the family held on to their hope and faith that their baby would get better. Thus, the baby did get better but not because of medical science, but because of the miracle healer. Now, the baby is a healthy 10 year old! Amazing!
As I was contemplating more about the greatness of the miracle healer, I realized that there was something far greater than her healing prowess. It suddenly dawned on me that by merely listening to her stories, I would realize something of utmost importance in the very end. That out of her stories, I too, would soon create a story of my own. It may not involve me healing others but it would certainly involve me touching others' lives in whatever aspects I will be "great" in. The miracle healer was called by Christ through her dreams that her life was to be dedicated in healing others at the mere age of 18. She could have said no. She could have shrugged off those dreams as to be just mere dreams and go on with her life doing other things. But no, she responded to God's call. She responded and took action. She did what she was good at and because of that, she has touched the lives of others. She has also helped others get through with life. She dedicated her life for service, enabling her loved ones to finish their studies, not even minding her own needs. Now that to me was the real reason behind her so called "miracle healer" name. Touching lives, inspiring lives. Call it power? I call it pure faith. :)

| I am actually fortunate enough to have a "clear"photo of her as the miracle healer once told me that whenever someone takes a photo of her healing others, only the person being healed by her would come out of the picture and that she was nowhere to be seen in the picture despite that she was there when the photo was taken 0______0 |

YES! You sure are meant for GREATNESS. There's no doubt about it. I believe in you and I bless you. :)
Exactly!
Strongly agree! I believe that all of us has this one specific power already inside us from the moment we were born.(for that lady, that would be her healing) And only if we are able to uncover it, acknowledge it, use it, and maximize it well then can we be unstoppable!
Ash, i bless that you nurture that power which is yours alone. And hey, i can't wait to listen to your greatness story.
see you at the top,
