“She was prayed over by the elders of the church and sprinkled with oil…”
My sister at the age of approximately 20 developed a chronic case of Crohn’s disease. She was in constant pain and was to the point where you could see the individual bones in her wrist The disease can cause extreme weight loss and pain. She suffered for various years under the care of doctors but was not able to get better. She would take prednisone, a steroid, that would leave her with various side effects but would still suffer the effects of the disease.
Finally after all other avenues having used failed, she was prayed over by the elders of the church and sprinkled with oil. She has not had any recurring instances of this disease and is extremely fit and healthy today at 56. It is unusual to recover from this disease as it is considered to be a chronic condition and can lead to death. What the doctors could not deal with, the Old Testament method of being prayed over and sprinkled with oil by elders of the church has accomplished.
