protection and prophecy come true

written on 100908 at 5am (not in Singapore)

We were at dinner with a pastor at his house last night - home-cooked food of fried fish, fried chicken, stir-fry mixed vegetables and pork ribs soup. Nice.

Conversation was easy. He had worked in Singapore for a year, and his son is now working in Malaysia. His spoken English was clear, and we talked about life in Myanmar, Singapore and Malaysia. His wife had little spoken English, and i don't think she understood much English too.

He testified about God's protection during the cyclone:

He had strengthened the floor of his house with concrete a few weeks before the cyclone. We all agreed that was God's wisdom at work in him. If he had not done that, the house could have sustained more damage. As it was, only his kitchen roof had to be replaced. Also, his coconut tree did not fall... only the coconuts... :D

His neighbour's houses built with bamboo and wood was propped against his house up to a month as they could only afford to buy materials to build the materials after that time.

His church stood strong even though it bore the full onslaught of the winds being the first building in that area.

The community, including the unbelievers, were amazed.

It was like a miracle and testified to the goodness of the Lord!


Near the end of our visit, his wife (through his translation) testified that a year before (in August 2007), when we were at his place for the first time, i had prayed and prophesied over her regarding her comforting other women. I had forgotten about the details of this prophecy. She shared that that was exactly what she had been doing in the past year. Praise God!

God's anointing to prophesy came on me again. Her hunger for the Word and the Presence of the Lord was very intense. I felt that i had to hold her hand and pray for her:

• she will impact spiritual atmospheres in households and in the church
• continued prayers for her son with the help of the Holy Spirit so that he will know the will of God
• stepping up into a higher place

This last one was prophesied by my hubby.

We prayed for pastor as well, for God's plans and purposes to be fulfilled in his life and in his church.

It was a God-appointed visit.
