As I was standing in a hall, I could not help but notice a young woman who was crying hard. Something seems to bother her greatly. She was talking to someone else, a counselor, who was trying to help her.
As I was getting ready to walk down the hall, this counselor approached me with a referral to talk to this young lady who was in great distress. Sure, I can talk to her and find out how to best help her.
She fell no more love for her husband of many years and just recently left home. They are fighting over the custody of a child. Their teenage child is with her own child. Nothing left to live for. No house. No job. No skills. No church connection. Tired of life, and she just wanted to die. A quite young and beautiful person she is without hope.
Immediately, I listened attentively to her and heard her story. What a story! A life broken with not much hope. However, God has broken into her spirit and allowed her to see that God is watching over her and giving her bright hope and a better future. Through the Word of God shared in that instant, this young lady found new hope, and the tears stopped immediately. She found out that God still loves her though her husband may have gone on with his life and does not leave much for her. She found out that God cares for her, and she does not doubt God any more.
I shared with her that death and life are in the power of the tongue; whoever loves it will eat its fruits. She chose life over death. She chose hope over hopelessness. God chose her and He entered her heart right then and there. I gave her a Bible to read. She welcomes it. The young woman left the office with such hope that she was able to leave the facility to go home soon after a couple of days.
God is still at work in the lives of many of His children. We all must be where God needs us most. It's right where we are!

Life Is Being Changed!
A young man who has been in his own wonderland fantasy world addicted to heroin and had to be detoxed. God met him in a powerful way that moves his heart to tears. I brought him a message from the heart that God loves him and that he can become great if he chooses to walk the narrow way/God's godly way of life. He does not want to have that lifestyle any more. Only God knows how he can use such a young life for the sake of the Kingdom.
His life in an instant is changed by the love of God. He realizes for the first time that God loves him and he surely wants to change for the better. He receives a Bible and is encouraged to read the book of James.
God in so many tangible ways reaches out to seek and to save the lost. We just have to be His willing vessel to be used in the hands of the Master.

Headache Instantly Left!
Recently, I saw a young man was holding his head, constantly saying "my head hurts. Oh my headache." It's the withdrawal. Tylenol does not semm to help him. It's still hurting.
After talking for a while about the headache and other life issues, I asked him if he wanted me to pray for him. No, he did not want to. He did not think that God cares about him or loves him. If God does, why did God allow this or that to happen in his life?
I told him that I know that God loves you and He cares about you. Would you like me to pray for you? Finally, he agreed to let me pray for him. As soon as I laid my hand upon his shoulder and prayed for him, the headache left him instantly.
The man was surprised to see that the headache just disappeared instantly. He praised God and thanked God for touching him. I prayed for him some more after that and anointed him and prayed some more. The man left rejoicing to go on doing other things he wanted to do.
God is great. He is the Healer.

A New Beginning
A new chapter has begun today for me.
July 13th, 2010 was a sad day. It was coming actually and finally. It's happening. Nobody really wanted it, but because of the hardness of the hearts, divorce happens. Time stood still. Hearts broken due to insupportability of the marriage.
There are so many things to learn from our past experiences and mistakes; and there are many things we will treasure in our hearts. It's painful. It's not easy, yet we cannot dwell in the past.
We must learn from the past experiences, all the pains and hurts and disappointments and move forward with life with new hope and promises that God who is faithful and righteous will forgive us of our sins, heal our broken hearts and cleanse us.
We can only look toward God for help and healing and move on with our lives. There is hope in God; there is grace from the heart of the Father; there is power from the Holy Spirit to live a victorious life. There is love from Jesus to love God again. There is strength to go on with life and to never quit on God because God never quits on us.

A Man Set Free from Bondage of Guilt
A man sank deeply into depression that he almost took his life. Couldn't sleep because of the guilt, shame, hurt and pain of the past has caused him to want to end it all once and for all. Nothing much to live for. Causing so much pain for others is the reason he does not want to do it any more. He has come to find out from the Word of God that it's all a lie from the Devil.
With the encouragement, he read the Bible again out loud; he read the Psalms; he sang; he sang again; he prays; As he did that the Lord delivered him out of bondage and guilt and set his feet back on the Rock of his salvation, his refuge and fortress.
God is great. The man is rejoicing, no longer wanting to die. He wants to live! He is going to declare what God has done for him. Proverbs 18:20-21 also help him see the words he had been using. No more.
Thanks be to God.

34 years of drug addiction delivered.
Depressed because of the male demonic voices that continued to haunt him years after years, a man was driven into a life of destruction with marijuana and cocaine. The voices told him to kill, hurt himself by contemplating suicide; cutting, hanging and playing Russian Roulette. With the gun in his hand and rolling the chamber for 15 times, it did not kill him.
Using drugs and selling them led him to no where but jail and prison. More than 20 years in prison for the crime, he is fed up with it. Religion does not help him either. Going to become a deacon at a church does not help him either. He feels helpless to a point he thought to himself "Does God really exist?"
Since the tender age of 14, with 34 years of using drugs and the voices, for the first time, he said the voices left him instantly. The joy on his face was evidently seen; He opens his heart and welcomes Jesus Christ into his life again. I anointed him and laid my hands upon him and asked the Holy Spirit to baptize him and to fill him with His power, purpose. God sets him apart for His kingdom.
God is great. He is still in the soul saving business. He needs more witnesses who would step out of the comfort zone of playing safe, playing church and step into the battle field with God. Lives need to be saved and rescued. Souls need to be won into the Kingdom of God again and again until Jesus comes.
In the Name of Jesus, demons flee.

12 years of back pain left instantly
A car accident 12 years ago sent a man's life to spin out of control. The pain is out of control. For 12 straight years, he could not live a day without pain; pain in the neck, pain in the back, tingling on the left side and headache. They have driven him deep into pain medicine addiction. A month of doctor's prescription could be gone in 4 days. Nothing helps. Street drugs do not help. Alcohol does not help.
He was angry with God blaming him for allowing something like this to happen to him. Desperation and depression cause him to lose his faith in God. God seems so far away from him; leaving him alone to deal with his pain. His doubt, fear and blaming himself do not help him either; the pain persisted. Addiction would eventually destroy his whole body.
God met him on the street of life. Sitting around a small table, we held hands and prayed. He prayed first, and then I prayed. Between 1-10, his pain level was at 8. At the end of the prayer, his pain went down to 1 instantly. I asked him to stand, check and see how his pain level is now. 1. I anointed him on his hands, forehead and laid my hands on his back and head and commanded the pain to leave him. The pain left him completely. Checking back again with him today, he is so happy. He slept well last night for a long time. Doing well he said. I encouraged him to read the word of God. He said he will. Great.
Leaving him walking back to my corner, I thank the Lord for delivering him from doubt, fear and physical pain. The pain of 12 years left him instantly just like that. Thank be to God.
