I gave my life to Jesus when I was a teenager and I have seen Him work wonders in my life. He reunited me with my parents, saved my father, and through the good news of JDM, restored my marriage. You were there when I was at my lowest point in my life. My husband and I were overjoyed to hear that I was pregnant, an answer to prayer, and right from the start I prayed over my unborn child and bound the devil and all his works. I had a textbook pregnancy, until at 8 months I started bleeding heavily. The doctor believed I was starting early, so preparation for a normal delivery was made. I was in agonizing pain with extreme blood loss. With the ultrasound we could see that the baby was fine until all of a sudden the heart beat dramatically slowed down. The fetus was in distress. I was immediately taken into surgery and had an emergency caesarian. I was terrified as I was in a Japanese hospital and didn't speak Japanese. During the operation, as I was conscious, I constantly spoke the Word of God over myself and my daughter.

      Before leaving my home for the hospital, I had emailed the prayer team at JDM and asked for their prayers. I bound Satan and his right to take me or my child and confessed that by the love of Jesus and the stripes He took for me, my baby and I would be healed. We had been bought with a price and Jesus had paid for it with His life.

My daughter was born 30 minutes later. We were both well, despite my massive blood loss. The doctor told us later that I had had a rare condition where the placenta comes away from the womb. It occurs in only 1% of births, and it usually results in the death of the fetus and the risk of the mother dying due to blood loss. I give all the glory of the birth of my daughter to our Lord Jesus Christ. He protected us when the devil came and tried to harm us.

      At the start of my operation, all of the nurses and doctors said the Lord's Prayer in Japanese and He sent me a nurse who could speak English. He held His hands over us so we were blessed, and today my daughter and I are glowing in health because of the enduring love and grace of our Lord. I give thanks to God every day for our lives and I am praying and believing now for the salvation of my husband. I know the Lord will not return His Word void and that His love and blessings are for all of His children. Glory be to God.

      Thank you, JDM,  for teaching me the power of God's love for us and for the victory we have over Satan - today, tomorrow and forever.
