Young Violinist Whose Hand Was Paralyzed for Five Years is Divinely Healed—Now Plays for God

"...I felt something like electricity in my arm and the pain disappeared."

Hanna Lee, of Auckland, New Zealand is majoring in classical violin at the University of Auckland and is headed for an illustrious international career as an electric violinist. As reported in Assist News, that was not the case five years ago, when her left hand mysteriously became paralyzed.

"I am a fifth generation Christian but I really hadn't met God," said the 24-year-old. "People told me I should pray for healing."

So, every day for two years, Lee attended the Auckland Methodist Church Korean congregation prayer meetings. "I knew I had to have 100 percent faith in God so He would heal my hand," she said.

Then, notes reporter Lynley Smith, the church had a three-night rally in which a Korean pastor with a gift for healing spoke. Says Lee: "She [the pastor] said people's pain would be healed if they had faith in God. I thought 'yes, my hand will be healed'. Then I felt something like electricity in my arm and the pain disappeared. I tested it by lifting a Bible, which would normally have hurt, and it wasn't painful."

Since that day, the pain has gone, returning only a little in wet weather, but Miss Lee says she was taught a powerful lesson through her ordeal. "I didn't have a strong faith in God because everything in my life had gone well up to then," she said. "God used that experience to teach me that He wanted me to use my musical gift for Him and not for myself."

Today, Miss Lee gives solo performances in churches and universities, finishing each performance with the testimony of her healing.

"The young people come because they have never seen anyone play an electric violin," she said. "They say 'Wow!' Then I give my testimony and people are very moved by it."
