For years, BRMC member, Sharon Tan, lived with constant pain. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2017, she experienced pain 24/7. Exercise helped temporarily. Medication sometimes brought relief but she chose not to depend on it. At its worst, the pain disrupted her sleep, leading to insomnia.
To cope, she pushed through—running at 4.30am–5am or swimming long distances just to ease the discomfort.
But in early 2026, the condition worsened. She could no longer exercise.
A Turning Point
On 7 Mar, during the Freedom in Christ course, she was challenged not to accept the pain as something she had to live with but to rebuke it in the authority of Christ.
The next day, she went forward for prayer during the healing ministry at BRMC. Interestingly, the intercessor prayed for her insomnia—not the pain itself.
Still, something began to shift.
Healing in Stages
By Tuesday, the pain had reduced enough for her to return to the gym. By Thursday, something unusual happened—she could lie down and sleep without pain.
“That was so abnormal.”
Yet, there was still lingering pain in her shoulders and neck. At the TRAC Conference, she wrestled with doubt.
Was she truly healed?
A Scripture was shared—Mark 8:22–25—where healing came in stages. Encouraged, she stepped forward again for prayer.
The pastor prayed over her and rebuked the pain.
Complete Healing
Back in her seat, she was still unsure.
Then, in the middle of worship:
“The pain suddenly left… I was completely pain free.”
In that moment, all doubt was gone. She knew she had to testify—to glorify God.

After the Healing
Sharon is now sleeping better, feeling more energetic, and able to move freely—without the constant pain that once defined her daily life.
Previously, her pain levels were 7–8/10, often requiring medication.
Now, she describes it simply:
“I’m feeling very blessed by God.”
All Glory to God
It has nothing to do with me… It is all about the grace and mercy of Jesus.
