God’s presence, and power are not limited to a place. Whether you’re at church, at home, or even at a concert, God can work in amazing ways—just as He did for Abby Dela Cruz during CBN Asia’s 30th Anniversary Worship Celebration, “Beyond Measure.”
When Abby first heard she needed a medical exam to apply for her internship, she wasn’t worried. But the test results brought news she never expected, she had Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB), a contagious illness that would require six months of treatment.
The news left her shaken. Abby has always avoided things like smoking, and she did not hang around those who did.
“So why, Lord?” she cried out in frustration.
With her diagnosis, Abby noticed how differently people treated her. They kept their distance, cautious of her contagious condition. It hurt, but she stayed focused on getting better. Six months of medication later, she was officially cleared of PTB.
Time passed, and she graduated college and launched into her career. It felt like she was moving forward again—until December 2022, when another job application required a medical exam.
The X-ray results came back showing that she has nodular densities in her lungs. Fear crept in, but this time, she chose not to follow up, quietly believing that further tests would be too expensive.
By 2024, during her job’s annual health checkup, her doctor found a lump in her neck. Her mind raced with worry. Could this be something serious? Would she need surgery? Abby was scared.
“Lord, I don’t have the money for this. These illnesses seem like they’re only for the wealthy. Please heal me,” she cried out to God.
If you’ve ever found yourself in a place like Abby’s, struggling with illness and wondering where to find hope, you’re not alone.
Remember: God is powerful. Healing comes in ways we may never expect just as Abby experienced.
Just when Abby felt her hope fading, her pastor invited her to CBN Asia’s 30th Anniversary Worship Celebration, “Beyond Measure.”
She didn’t expect anything big—just an evening of music and maybe a chance to see some celebrities. But that night held a surprise for her.
As the event went on, Peter Kairuz, President and CEO of CBN Asia, prayed over the audience, specifically mentioning healing for people with lumps in their lungs and necks.
Abby claimed that healing and felt something shift inside her. She left with a sense of peace and hope.
The next day, she received her latest medical results: her lungs were clear! She couldn’t believe it.
“For me, it was a miracle and purely God’s grace, not human effort, because I hadn’t taken any medication,” Abby said, in awe of what happened.
Sometimes, God’s healing comes in the most unexpected ways, meeting us right where we are—even in a concert.
Abby left that night with more than a clear diagnosis, she left with renewed faith and gratitude, reminded of a God who sees and heals in ways we can’t imagine.
“Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things He does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.” (Psalms 103:2-3 NLT)
