God Being So Real To Me
Finally my laptop is working...It had been down for the whole of yesterday ever since I did not on it for so many days...and I so much wanted to use it to do things...because I am just too used to having a laptop that without it I will feel so handicapped....So I actually laid hands on my laptop and pray...I felt that through this whole season my faith had really increased that I even had the faith to believe that God can even 'heal' non living things...I even had to try to convince one of my cell group brother to pray for it..had a little hard time in trying to convince him to shift this prayer request of mine up his prayer list for that night...hehe...felt a little silly doing all these..but it's worth it because my laptop is really healed....
Also, I really want to thank God for the 4pm healing conference which was impromt to. Because, my mum and relatives really had a hard time convincig my grandfather to come down for the 7pm healing conference..He simply refused to come because his eyesight is really really bad at night..He lost one of his eye to a failed surgery and now his another eye's vision had begun to deteriorate that doctors are advicing him to go for a cornea transplant but he is afraid that the surgery will fail so he held back from making the decision to go for it. So he could only rely on eyedrops and medication to slightly improve his eyesight...However, till now where ever he goes he needs to bring an umberalla to aid him in walking so that he can use it to poke and check out what's in front before taking steps..other than that he needs people's guidance....But when I broke the news to my mum about the 4pm service she was so excited and on saturday morning she woke up so early and even woke me up from my sleep as she came into my room to use the phone...guess what she not only woke me up but also my aunts...because my grandfather was willing to go for the 4pm service...at the end they all went down together and also when I had a chat with my grandfather at the stadium he was so enthusiatic and even said that he has come to receive healing from God...believing that God can restore his sight...
During the service I was really praying so hard and I even asked Beverly and Lijun to pray for my grandfather's healing..Because I believe that if he is healed, it will bring forth a great revival in my family...When people came up to testify how God had healed them I was hoping that he would walk up too..but as I looked over to his seats I realised that he's still in his seats...so I felt dejected but I kept on praying that God will improve his eyesight...
When I reached home, my mum was already asleep and the next day when I woke up she was not at home...so I just waited and waited till she got back from church and she told me that my grandfather's eyesight was clearer even when they left the stadium...although there was no full healing but I believe that God will one day restore his full sight...so I will keep on praying for that healing to take place....
Personally I also was touched by God, through out all 3 services I felt the strong presence of the Lord...On friday night when Pastor Benny Hinn prayed for the choir I heard a loud bang and even people breaking into holy laugther....On friday night I also was slained and I felt a very very warm feeling in my heart and also I saw a vision of a child running into the arms of the Father and the Father just hold this little child in His arms...after being conscious, I realised that God had begun to heal my wounded heart and I felt the sense of comfort over me and there was great joy upon me...Later for the last service, the choir slained again and this time I begun to weep so much...and I felt that very warm feeling at the back of my head and also through my body...and I felt that God is telling me that he has renew my mind and my thoughts will be changed...also, my life will be totally transformed this year...
Also, something that had been bothering me so so much had been lifted out of me...felt that I had broken free from so many things...God actually restored a friendship that had turned really ugly then we don't even want and feel fearful of talking to each other....It is something that I have been praying for so much and finally through this season God restored it. I guess He did it only when I begun to really let go and let Him take control of it...Now, I seem to enjoy his company and talking to him so much more than before...somehow I felt that our friendship has been brought to another level that I could have no explaination for too...Also, I really saw a few changes in him and I am really so happy to see them..especially in seeing that he finally understands that there is power in intercession and support from cell group and that for the first time since I know him that he ever will message me to ask me to pray for him.Often I don't even know that he is sick until I see him in church.Just so amazed by how much he changed in such a short span of time..I just hope that this friendship that God had given will be beautiful always and forever....and also God will continue to change this brother to be more and more beautiful too...
Lord, I just want to thank You for all that You have done in my life through this season...indeed my life have changed and I am really so glad that I could have such great encounters with You....and really You seemed so real and close to me lately....
