On this race I have only told my testimony to 3 crowds. I told it in a women’s prison and in a church in the Philippines. Not always telling it in full but the parts I felt like needed to be said. Yesterday I got a chance to tell it again. This time I held nothing back, I said it all!! There is one part of my story thats super hard for me to tell people because I have always been worried about what others would think of me. For some reason I did not hold back this time. I told the whole thing, even that hard part and that is what I want to share with you today.
… One day I went to Mexico on a mission trip, while I was down there I was praying to the lord to show himself to me. I asked him are you really there?? Please just show yourself. Then one of my last days there, we were sitting at this table praying for the people around it. At this time we are praying for one of my friends across the table. We were thanking God for healing his knee and making it so he could do all of the activities with no pain while in Mexico. We started praying for him with our eyes closed and heads down. While everyone was praying I saw God come out of this man. God reached his hand out to me, answering my prayers. Not only did he show me how real he is, but also showed me he healed that guy…
I don’t know why God showed himself to me, when so many ask for that and it never happens. But after I was done sharing my full story with the church, I sat down. I felt so scared about telling this part, like great everyone here thinks I am crazy. I started praying, lord help me, encourage me with what I just said. At the end of the service I had a women walk up to me who had been crying and still was. She told me she has been asking for God to show himself to her. When I told my story it hit her hard. When she was praying after I was done talking, God reached out to her and told her she was going to be ok.
Thats crazy, I was so scared to share this part of my story! Then I prayed after sharing, that what I said would help one person and he proved it to me when the lady came and told me what God told her.
God is good, he is faithful in answering prayers. God loves listening to us and loves hearing what we have to say. I want to encourage everyone that when you pray and have faith, God is going to answer those prayers.
