“Doctor said – If your condition does not improve, you will have the leg amputated.”
True testimony of how i avoided leg amputation
“If your condition does not improve, you will have the leg amputated.” These are the words no one ever wants to hear. This is the incredible, true testimony of how I avoided leg amputation after a simple bug bite turned into a life-threatening crisis. My name is Rishi Kumar, and this is my story of miraculous healing.
From a Simple Bug Bite to a Medical Crisis
My story began in May 2024. I noticed a small bug bite on my right leg. Like anyone would, I didn’t think much of it. However, the next day, I scratched it, and the area quickly became swollen, red, and infected. I knew immediately that something was very wrong.
I went to the hospital, where I was given a prescription for medicine and a course of injections. I followed the doctor’s orders precisely, but my condition did not improve. The infection worsened, and the fear began to set in.
The Doctor’s Devastating Amputation Warning
The situation turned critical when my doctor sat me down for a serious conversation. He explained that the infection was severe and not responding to treatment. He delivered the news that shattered my world: “If your condition does not improve, you will have the leg amputated.”
I was filled with despair and hopelessness. The thought of losing my leg was terrifying. It was in this moment of utter desperation that God sent a lifeline.
A Glimmer of Hope: Discovering a Message of Faith
When I was at my lowest point, my brother, Keshav, introduced me to the GCN TV HINDI YouTube channel. He encouraged me to watch the services of Manmin Central Church and listen to the messages preached by Pastor Soojin Lee.
Starting in July, I began attending these online services regularly. I was hungry for hope and healing. I also started reading the Hindi edition of the powerful book, “The Message of the Cross“ (Video Link) authored by Dr. Jaerock Lee. As I immersed myself in the Word of God, I began to look inward. I repented sincerely for my past wrongdoings and put my full faith in Jesus Christ.
The Miraculous Turning Point: A Gradual and Complete Recovery
In August, a miraculous turnaround began. The wound that had refused to heal for months started to show signs of improvement. The swelling reduced, the redness faded, and new, healthy skin began to form. It was a gradual but undeniable process guided by God’s hand.
By September, the wound was completely recovered. The leg that doctors said would need to be amputated was now whole, healthy, and strong. The medical professionals were astonished. Hallelujah!
Giving Thanks for a Second Chance
Today, I am walking perfectly on the leg I almost lost. This experience has transformed my life and strengthened my faith beyond measure.
I give all thanks, glory, and praise to the living God, the Great Physician, who healed me and saved me from leg amputation. My story is a testament to the power of faith, prayer, and the healing that comes through Jesus Christ.
If you are facing a hopeless situation—be it a health crisis, financial struggle, or personal despair—I pray that my testimony gives you hope. Nothing is impossible for God.
