On August 8th, a “healing gathering” was held at Tokyo Antioch Church.

Gospel Seed’s Esther Harumi Sanbonmatsu developed three incurable diseases at the age of five, causing her to lose muscle strength, and was hospitalized for long periods of time and was bedridden. Although his condition was so serious that he was diagnosed as the first case in Japan, he became a Christian, believed in healing, and prayed for him, and through that, he was healed of his incurable disease.

After that, even after giving birth twice, there was no recurrence, and the doctor said that she was completely cured. Currently, it is praised while playing the keyboard at Gospel Seed, and has been used for many years.

🌈 Read more about the evidence of incurable diseases (dermatomyositis, multiple sclerosis, and scleroderma among collagen diseases)

Harumi Estelle Sanbonmatsu of Gospel Seed developed three incurable diseases (dermatomyositis, multiple sclerosis, and scleroderma) at the same time when she was five years old, and suffered a severe loss of muscle strength.
Since the onset of the disease, my muscle strength has not grown, and my arms have remained as thick as they were when I was 5 years old.
The drugs inhibited her growth, and she was unable to stop the disease’s progression, forcing her to spend a long period of time in the hospital and become bedridden.
To investigate the cause, tests including muscle biopsies were repeated 10 times at the University of Tokyo Hospital.
I was diagnosed as the first child in Japan to have contracted the disease.
Even when I received treatment at home, I was barely able to move.
At the piano class, he could barely make a sound when he hit the keys, but he was attending the piano class for the purpose of rehabilitation.
I became a Christian and believed in healing.
When he was prayed for at a large healing gathering, he collapsed.
At that time, Jesus said, “This man has been cured.”
From that time on, he was cured of his incurable disease.
After that, they got married.
However, when I gave birth, I was told that it would happen again, but it never happened again after giving birth twice.
The doctor was surprised and said, “For some reason, you are making a full recovery.”
Ever since he was healed, he has been praised while playing the keyboard at Gospel Seed for many years, and has been widely used.
