“My name is Bonghai from Zambia. My testimony is that I have finally cleared my exams! I wrote to God’s Heart TV about my exams and some spiritual attacks that I was facing, which I usually face before writing exams. I had failed these exams twice before. I was supposed to be in my fourth year of medical school, but because I failed, I had to repeat the course for one year and six months. At the time I sent the request, I was going through a serious spiritual attack. The spiritual attack in question involved feeling things crawling from the middle of my head down to my face. It is a trend I have noticed every time I sit for my exams. I only really paid attention to this when I got into university. From primary school up to Grade 12, it was the same, except instead of moving things, it would be an unexplainable, untreatable sickness. I wrote my Grade 7, 9, and 12 exams while I was extremely sick. In fact, I missed most of my Grade 11 and 12 years because I became ill out of nowhere. The school said I was not eligible to write exams because of my poor attendance, but after my dad pleaded on my behalf, I was given the chance to do so.
“Fast forward to the time I entered university; it has really been a difficult, trying time. I cleared my pre-medical year by the grace of God. That was around the time I started feeling things crawling out of my head, and I would feel a really heavy presence watching me every time my exams neared. When I cleared to go to my first year of medical school, that is where I hit a brick wall. All my former course mates have proceeded to their fourth year and are doing their clinicals. This has been devastating; it broke me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually because I felt God had abandoned me. I felt dumb; I felt like a nobody and a loser.
“In preparation for the exam period, I made sure to study as much as I could, putting in all my effort despite the feeling of things crawling out of my head, in my eyes, and on my face. Five days before the exam, the attack came in full force. It was so bad I could not ignore the feeling; in fact, I had a bald spot on the top of my head where I felt those invisible things crawling out. It made me think I was an unlucky person and that even God did not want to save me. My thinking became very negative, and I felt defeated. I sent in my prayer request and surrendered myself, hoping I was being prayed for.
“The next day, I felt a bit relieved. This was two days before my exams. Then, a thought like a light bulb hit me: a list of very specific topics popped into my mind. I opened my book and started going through them – at first lazily, until something told me to be serious and concentrate. On exam day, I was hit by a crazy wave of anxiety. My nerves were so bad I was fidgeting, and I could hear my heart beating. Before the papers arrived, I managed to calm down and say a little prayer. People of God, when I flipped the paper, what I saw were questions based on those very topics I was inspired to study! Mind you, for this course we learnt over 80 topics, yet those few topics made up close to 70% of the exam. It was a beautiful experience. I cannot believe it – I am finally in my third year of medical school! Thank You, Jesus Christ.”
