Since 1995 Sriartini’s health became worse. An incident happened when she was slicing vegetables in the kitchen. She felt a severe waist pain and had to be helped by others.
When she was sleeping, she preferred to sleep on a hard mattress because it helped her to move. Beside she would prefer sleeping on her left side. And the most comfortable bed for her was bamboo bed with mats or clothes on top. When she felt very weak her veins would feel tight as she stood up and she would step heavily.
She could not sit normally. She had to sit on a hard wooden chair, even she would feel very painful when she was sitting. She had to eat in her bed. In 2001 she was taken to the hospital. While she was walking she felt severe pain that made her cried. The test result showed that she suffered from acute osteoporosis. The doctor suggested her to get a surgery and the broken bones should be removed. There were 9 kinds of medicines she consumed 3 times a day. The medicine is to reduce pain in her veins and to help her blood circulation.
One time she wanted to go to the bathroom but she couldn’t walk, she just crawled and cried, holding on the walking stick. She couldn’t stand up since she was afraid she would fall and hit objects. But when she didn’t have the strength to crawl, she would lie down on the floor first, her head felt hot and needed to get cold first. And then she continued to crawl again. It was an unbearable suffering.
Her son felt pity on her as she saw her poor condition that she had to crawl to reach the bathroom. Because of her prolonged sickness she asked her son to bring his friends home to pray for her. She asked them perhaps they knew the cure for her sickness. One of them told her about KPPI (Praise and Divine Healing Servince) and advised her to attend the service.
In 2004 finally she attended KPPI. During the praise and worship, suddenly she could feel her blood circulate through the veins at her back. She felt that her body was warm and felt better. Then she tried to stand up, things she never done before. Praise the Lord. She was able to stand up strongly.
The servant of God then asked if anyone got touched by the Lord he could raise up their hands. She directly raised up her hands although she felt stiff at first. However, when she tried to raise up her hand, suddenly she felt healed and could lift up her hand.
People in her church were amazed when they saw her coming to church and sitting down calmly and wanted to testify the healing she experienced at KPPI. Her pastor was also surprised to hear that. They believed that her healing was truly a miracle. A miracle that happened to a child of God who believed in faith and hope for years that one day God would heal her. Her neighbours were also surprised with her healing.
