(Raphael) Jonathan · Jul 17, 2024

Please keep me in your prayers, My name is (Raphael) Jonathan Tan. I'm a Chinese, from Malaysia, born with a rare, severe dry skin disease called Ichthyosis, since birth (1996) now 28 years (2024), covered from head to toe, not one part is spared. Ichthyosis is a rare skin disorder that affects the skin regeneration cycle. My skin metabolism regenerates and change skin cells too quickly, instead of every 28 days like a normal person, I change / shed and regenerates every 1-2 days. The accumulated dead skin cells causes dryness, thickness of the skin layer and blocking moisture from entering and exiting my skin, which disables me to perspire and regulate body temperature correctly because of blocked pores. I'm often inflamed, red and hot on my complexion. Cracks and peelings is my daily. Pain, suffering and embarrassment has never left me since I've been alive, Not even a day of having a normal skin. I'm a 2nd gen Christian. Attends church regularly, sunday schools, youth...etc I've been to multiple healing services, rallies, conferences. Prayed for, laid hands and anointed oil by many pastors, elders, evangelists, apostles and have travelled near and far to find cure, regardless of spiritual, natural or medical ways. Have spent a fortune on medical and natural remedies only to no avail. Please pray that my skin's basic function will return to its default settings and that my skin metabolism will revert to its original regeneration cycle, 28 days instead of every 2 days. and for my pores to be unblocked and allow perspiration to occur. Whatever the cause is, whether its Genetics, Medical complication or Spiritual Attack, God is Greater than ALL of these. Please pray for me and with me. Thank you and God Bless.

Heavenly Father,

We come before Your throne of grace with our hearts heavy yet hopeful, lifting up Jonathan Tan, Your beloved child, in prayer. Lord, You are the Creator of all things, and You know Jonathan intimately, having knit him together in his mother's womb (Psalm 139:13). You understand his struggles and his pain, and we trust in Your unfailing love and mercy.

Lord, Jonathan has been living with Ichthyosis, a rare and severe skin condition, since birth. His skin regenerates far too quickly, causing him immense discomfort, pain, and suffering daily. Father, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, for Your healing touch upon Jonathan's body. We pray that his skin's basic function will return to its default settings and that his skin metabolism will revert to its original regeneration cycle of 28 days. May his pores be unblocked, allowing perspiration to occur and his body temperature to be regulated correctly.

Lord, Your Word tells us in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord." We claim this promise for Jonathan, believing that You are able to heal him completely. Whether the cause of his condition is genetic, medical, or spiritual, we know that You are greater than all these challenges. Nothing is too difficult for You, Lord (Jeremiah 32:27).

Father, we also pray for strength and comfort for Jonathan. As he has endured much suffering, we ask that You surround him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). May he feel Your presence with him every day, giving him hope and courage to face each moment. Lord, we ask that You provide him with supportive and loving people who will walk alongside him, offering encouragement and love.

We thank You, Lord, for Jonathan's faith and perseverance. He has sought You earnestly through prayer, healing services, and various treatments. We pray that You honor his faith and his relentless pursuit of healing. May Your will be done in his life, and may he experience Your miraculous power.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
