I CAN WALK!! (Again)

I could walk normally after the miracle service, however through out the week the pain came back. My ankle was swollen. May be because I walked a bit too much when I was in NUS(my toilet and bathroom were renovated, that's why I moved back to Sheares hall).

Anyway, I went to church on Sunday a bit limping again. I told God, "God, my ankle is still painful. Can you do something about it?" During the altar call I went forward (again not to be prayed for, but to serve as a consolidator). Inside my heart I was like "God I want to be healed, why can't someone else be consolidator." As I came forward I realized many of my guys came forward, and I realized how selfish I had been. God is a God who answers prayers. When I was praying for Joseph Lee, I realized that the pain in my ankle is no more!! Praise God!! I can walk again!!

Lesson learned:
1. Healing from God can instaniously or through a process.
In my case God healed me to a certain extent on miracle Sunday last week. However I kinda lost the healing because I did not take care of my ankle. What I should have done is to rest my ankle and continue to claim healing for my ankle. Well, God is gracious enough to heal my ankle again yesterday though.

2. Ask, Seek, and Knock (Matthew 7)
How much do you want God's blessing(healing is one of them)? God promise to us is: Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened.

In asking God's blessing there are 3 ways:
1. To ask.
2. To seek.
3. To knock.
Each of them has different intensity. God always answers prayers. The question is...How hard do we pray?

I CAN WALK!! (Miracle Sunday)

This is overdue by 2 weeks, but then again its better late than never...

I always hear people testifying about healing that happens to them, how God get rid of illnesses from small ones to big ones, from a slight flu to a deadly cancer. I praise God for all these miracles, however I have never experience anything until the Easter week Sunday. Easter Sunday supposed to be a miracle service.

Two of my friends came(They are married couple). The husband came with leukimia(blood cancer). I came with a sprained ankle (do not play soccer without shoes... its bad for your ankle).

During the altar call for those who need healing my friends came forward. He raised his hands to receive Christ. Praise God! Few days later, I met this couple and ask them about the conditions. The blood test seemed normal however we still do not know if he has been healed completely from the cancer. To know if he has been healed normally he has to go through a bone marrow test (which is more painful than giving birth according to some people). He will be taking this test in a couple of months, so lets keep on praying for Mark!

As for me, when I walked back to hall 9 from sending this couple to taxi stand in EXPO, I suddenly realized that I can walk properly!! Before that I was limping because my ankle hurts so much. Praise God for He is God heals!!
