DREAMS

Those were the days (1992) when I had begun experiencing the wonderful presence of Jesus in
my life. I had given my life over to him and given my burdens and grief’s into his hands.
So even though circumstances were in the negative. I had one hope and that was my trust in
Jesus. I believed he would get me through. My prayers to him were fervent. The theory exams
did not carry much weightage; the practical was the one that mattered.
I still remember it was Sunday that the practical exams took place. Those days I had made it a
habit to fast on Sundays and so I went for the exams fasting. I had a throbbing headache by the
time I reached the exam hall. One internal and two external examiners. Two short cases and
one big case(patients with sicknesses) to be examined and diagnosed in the given time. And it
was really tough. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a lot of grilling. One of my colleagues was sent away for
just talking casually to someone else during the exam time. That for him meant another wait for
six months to reappear. I was glad that it was finally over by 5 p.m. Six of us appeared on the
first day and five on the next. The speculations were that only 3-4 out of eleven will pass. I
couldn’t sleep for the next two days thinking of the result.
Despite speculations, despite unfavorable circumstances; despite evaluations, despite
unfavorable people, my hope lay in Jesus because I knew only He could save me. And that is
exactly what his name means: Jesus - He saves
At around 2 a.m. a couple of nights later, there was frantic knocking on my door. Three guys
heaving and panting and three wonderful words - “You have passed”. I didn’t know what to do.
Laugh or cry. But one thing I did and that was to thanks Jesus for his saving grace. The
predictions were true. Only four of us passed. But I was one of them. Hallelujah! Praise the
Lord.
The Bible says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
And that is exactly what I did. Not only did I pass, but Jesus helped me to get second rank in the
university. Praise the Lord. Truly, Jesus cares for us like no one else can.
For nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1:37)
50. XRAY DIAGNOSIS
My grandmother once had persistent cough and wheezing for around 4-5 months. I put her on
medication but the condition persisted. I got her blood tests done and changed the medicines,
but there wasn’t any improvement. The x-ray of her chest didn’t reveal any problems with her
lungs or bronchial system. She and others at home were disturbed by the constant hacking
cough and I was in a quandary.
We were praying about the matter regularly, but a healing didn’t come soon. Then one night
the Lord showed me a dream. In the dream, I am examining my grandmother’s x-ray and this x-
ray is different from the x-ray taken in the hospital. While examining the x-ray, certain parts of
the lungs are focused upon and I can clearly visualize worms in the lungs. That was all I saw in
the dream.
