Like most of the preteens his age, he is cheerful, fun-loving and full of life. Unlike many of his peers however, Arthur is keenly aware of the fact that he would not be alive today if not for God&rsquo;s hand upon his life.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">You see, when he was just 10 years old, his mother Lily walked in on him and was horrified by what she saw: His eyes were rolled back, his teeth clenched and he was foaming at the mouth. His hands were bent at an unnatural angle and his body was convulsing. He was having a full-on seizure.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Lily let out such a loud bloodcurdling scream that the rest of her children came immediately to see what was wrong. &ldquo;Jesus! Heal my son! Jesus! Heal my son!&rdquo; she cried and Arthur was immediately rushed to obtain medical attention.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/13.jpg\" rel=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"\" title=\"\"><figure id=\"attachment_10495\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10495\" style=\"width: 502px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10495  wp-caption aligncenter\" height=\"286\" src=\"http:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/13.jpg\" title=\"1\" width=\"502\" style=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/13.jpg 628w, https:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/13-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10495\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arthur&#8217;s mother Lily praying for him in the ambulance<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">However, the nerve specialists at Sunway Medical Hospital couldn&rsquo;t determine what was wrong with Arthur and they admitted him to the High Dependency Unit (HDU). The next few days were extremely hard and distressing for Arthur&rsquo;s family but they knew that they had to rely totally on God to heal him.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/22.jpg\" rel=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"\" title=\"\"><figure id=\"attachment_10496\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10496\" style=\"width: 502px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10496  wp-caption aligncenter\" height=\"285\" src=\"http:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/22.jpg\" title=\"2\" width=\"502\" style=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/22.jpg 628w, https:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/22-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10496\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arthur with needles and wires all over his body<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">When I asked his father Steven if we could report what happened to Arthur on Christianity Malaysia, his reply was a resounding: &ldquo;Sure! Go all out to make God famous through Arthur&rsquo;s testimony.&rdquo; As for 12-year-old Arthur, when he looks back now at everything that happened to him, he couldn&rsquo;t be any surer of the reality of God&rsquo;s hand in his life. Here&rsquo;s how Arthur sums it up in his own words: <strong>&ldquo;I was suffering, nearly died and God saved me. God is very real and He can really heal.&rdquo;<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Click on the link below to watch the amazing testimony of Arthur&rsquo;s miracle as told by his ever-grateful parents.
