Pain Was Gone! She went on rejoicing!

Sitting by the by-way and high-way of life, a woman was so saddened by her life's difficult challenges. She wants to end it all; no more desire to live. Hope seems to fade away. Sulky, silent, dull and sad facial expression until a stranger stopped long enough to ask how she was doing. He was interested in hearing her story.

After a while, she began to open up and there come all the pain, disappointment, hurt and illness sprung forth. It was easier to die than to live. What if it was not your time to go yet, and God was not ready to take you home yet? What if there is still much to live for? Do you have faith in God? Do you want to live and die healthy instead of being depressed all the time? Where is the pain?

She finally realized it is her choice to have a better quality of life. She has the control of her thoughts, of what she has allowed to come through her mind each moment. As she realized for the first time that she can change her feelings, how bad she feels when she changed her thoughts, what she feeds her mind. She feels better already.

After she began to believe that there is hope for her, that she can change if she wants to and the simple prayer over her, she prayed over herself and noticed the pain also left her body. She stood up and walked around back and forth a few times, and checked again. The pain was gone. It was just here a moment earlier, but by the power and grace of God and her little faith she had, the pain left her body. She praised the Lord and went on her way.

The by-way and high-way of life is full of people who can still take back the control of their lives when they learn to put their faith and trust in God and in the healing power of Jesus Christ. God is still seeking for people of faith to operate life-changing attitude and healing. He still heals today. Do you believe that God can heal you now? Yes I do. And so the healing happens according to her faith and trust in God.

God is good.

Delivered from painful Past

On the street of life, I met a man who had nothing much to live for. Nothing is going for him at all. He lost everything recently. Nothing left. Nothing to live for. He tried to end his life many times, but it seemed that every time something else happened or he did not die.

In his final desperation God has caused us to meet and talk. Lo and behold, he knew Christ before; he saw miracles and healing take place many times before. He knew the Scriptures but has forgotten to read God's Word lately.

Things were piling up on him one thing after another; the storms of life just keep coming at him at a faster speed. Too much to bear. Too strong to handle. His mind lost all God's perspective. The truth of the loving and Almighty God and Father seems to escape. He is angry at life, himself and at God for the ways things are in his life. It's not right. It's not fair. This is too much. If God really cares why did he let these things happen to me. Oh, I just want my life to be over. No more. No more trying. No more pain.

Tears strolled down his face as he listened to the Words of God being read to him. He paid attention. He listened more attentively. His focus began to shift from his painful existence to God's permanent love for him; from his pain to God's remedy; from his own negative words that he professed and repeated to hearing the Word and faith began to rise again in his heart.

He realized that he has got to live his life for God. God will see him through. God is true. His love is eternal. His Word is sure. He can stand on God's Word and promises. God will give him strength and power to live a victorious life. He cannot go back to the past and undo it. Whatever already happened happens for a reason, and he just has to trust God who knows what is best for him.

Life must go on. There are people out there that need God's love and compassion. There are hurting people out there, those who have never heard of the Gospel, and he needs to go and tell them about Jesus, how Jesus has saved and delivered him from destruction.

God is good. He provides for his children. He leads and guides them through troublesome times. He is the faithful companion and friend that we can trust and count on. God is good to me all the time. The Word of God is good for my soul, mind and spirit. My body must be healed from all these painful things that I have allowed to attack me. Be healed my body, soul and spirit. My mind is renewed now in Jesus' name.

I left that place knowing I did what the Lord has called me to do, a bridge of love, a signpost that points people back to the Lord God. He is awesome and powerful to save, heal and deliver everyone who comes to Him in the Name of Jesus. Yes! Life is worth living every moment of it until time is no more.

Pain Was Gone in Jesus' Name

A woman was rolling in her bed sick with some kind of infirmity. She did not know what was going on in her body, but the pain was persistent and hurting her. It's been there for a while and would not go away. You can see that pain on her face, and she was groaning in such discomfort. They have done everything they could for me. The pain level was at 8-9, in tear she said.

Have you prayed? I did. I begged God to help me "Please help me God." Let's agree in faith and pray knowing that Jesus is here, "Where two or three gather together in His name, He is there with them." Agree. Is it alright if I anoint you with the oil and lay my hand on your head and pray? Sure. And so I prayed a simple prayer with faith knowing that God will hear my prayer and deliver this woman from her pain.

"In the Name of Jesus, I take the authority over the spirit of infirmity and bind it and cast it out of your body. Pain leave her body now...in Jesus' Name." A radiant joy and smile are evident on her face after the prayer. She sat up, got out of bed and received her healing. The pain was gone instantly. Praise the Lord.

She was healed and happy! Praise the Lord.

God Is More Than Ready to Save

I recently met someone who was involved with satanism, occult and new age. He was attacked many times by demonic forces and the spirit came to talk to him. He felt scared and anxious; feeling pulled more to the evil side than to God. He felt like his future was set for him, and that he could not have any control over it but to do evil things. God is good. He is the God of light. When light shines in darkness, darkness is dispelled.

When I sensed that the Holy Spirit is ready to move to save him, and God's plan for him is always to save, to redeem, to heal and to deliver, I asked him if he is ready to pray to receive Jesus Christ into his heart. He nodded his head. He prays and opens his heart to the Lord and received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Demons were cast out; the spirit that haunted him was bound and cast out. He felt calm and collected; together we praised the Lord for His salvation. Holy Spirit of God moves in and takes control of his life. A new journey has begun indeed.

God is good all the time. He is more than ready to save those that earnestly coming to Him.

A Man in Need

There was a man who drank a lot to numb his pain. The drinking problem became so bad, but he refused treatment or AA group to help address the issue. He sank deeper into drugs, cocaine, marijuana. He even spent his rent money on drugs to satisfy the deep hole in his life. Eventually, he became a homeless man sleeping under a bridge.

He lost a son. Since the death of his son, his wife divorced him; he was laid off. He lost his house, lost his direction in life. His health is declining. He is looking for a place to stay, to have a warm shower, a breakfast; maybe a group home or half-way house would do for him.

What would Jesus do? How will the church help this man to get back on his feet? God is searching for him to show him love. God is needing your help! Did you see this man on the streets of life? Will you stop long enough to hear his story. Maybe God can use you to do something about it.

A Man Spoke in Tongue after Prayer and the Laying of Hand

After the confession, the personal time with God crying out to the Father for forgiveness of sin, the Holy Spirit fell upon a man today, and he spoke in tongue. He was crying tears of joy, feeling God's peace, feeling no more condemnation in his heart, feeling loved by God and having all his sins forgiven. He is a new creature in Christ Jesus; old things had gone and new things have come.

He invited the Holy Spirit to come into his heart. As I prayed for him to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and power to live the victorious life, he started praying in tongue as tears rolling down his cheeks. God visited an unlikely place to save a lost sinner.

I told him Jesus does not condemn you. Go and sin no more. Whom the Son set free, he is free indeed. I am so excited to see God's Holy Spirit works as I go and talk to him today. What a privilege to serve the Almighty God.

A Depressed Man Met Jesus

A man came from an abusive family. His father abused him. He was molested by his grandfather. Growing up, he seems to get into trouble all his life. Joining a gang when he was young, he started to drink alcohol, smoked and used drugs, marijuana, and cocaine.

When a worse moment in his life came, he bought a gun and shot himself in the head. It did not kill him. He felt even more depressed when he saw dad hit his mom; he pushed and threw her against a wall. Now as an adult, both his parents died; suddenly a voice came telling him to poke his fingers to get blood. He seems controlled by spirits of lust, anger, molestation.

Today, he came to hear that there is a loving God who will cleanse him from all the filth, forgive all his sins, and deliver him from the voice that haunted him. He does not want to go to hell, however he expressed that he does not accept Jesus Christ yet as Lord and Savior. I led him to the Lord Jesus, and right away a load of burden was taken off his chest. He smiled and said he never felt this good before. He ran to tell other people about the freedom and transformation that he just experienced.

Praise be to God. God can change your life today! Now.
