Like the Bereans

Last Saturday, my husband and I were invited to speak to the Family Life Ministry and Ladies Fellowship at a church in JB. He spoke on Living The Abundant Christian Life in the former, and I spoke on the Power of Your Words at the latter. They met in this bungalow (which used to be their Pastor's manse) next to their church. There was a split level, and up to 70 chairs could be placed. There were about 60 people for both sessions. Each of these plastic chairs had a label on its back - BEREAN.

There was a lady who responded to the altar call my husband gave to become a believer. You could literally see her countenance change from one of fear and dread to one filled with hope and joy as she was being prayed for. He also prayed for healing as she was suffering from cancer.

There were others who responded to our separate calls for those who needed prayer. A couple of men and quite a few ladies wanted to us to pray for their health, marriages, families. God moved powerfully in their midst as they were hungry for the word and for the presence of the Lord. When we were teaching, i could sense that they were drawing from the anointing and were hungry for the Word of God.

It was the grace of God that we spoke and ministered what they needed.

I received a call yesterday evening from one of the ladies i ministered to during the Family Life Ministry. This 71 year old lady had been having back pain for 20 years, and her feet hurt when she walked too much. The doctor told her she has osteoporosis and her bones were deteriorating quickly. When i prayed for her last Saturday, i asked her whether she felt anything, she said there was some relief. So i persisted and placed my hand on her feet. She said that her feet felt okay at that moment, but when she would walk too far and too long, there would be the usual aches and pains in her feet and back. So i prayed for her back, and i felt heat transfer. And she said she felt it too. I told her it was not heat from body contact, it was God's power flowing into her body. She believed.

It was such a joy to hear her testimony that she has had no pain and ache for the 5 days since the power of God healed her even when she came to Singapore to shop yesterday. She had been meditating on the Word of God every morning just as she had been taught. I believe her faith has increased during this time.

God is good! All glory to His Name!
