Sorry Dear reader to leave you for so long but I do see that you are back for more. But are you ready is my question? Are you ready to hear a tail of healing and demons? Well if you are still reading I guess you are up to the challenge. Where was I when I last left you… Ohh yes, I remember now- the team was heading to our ministry site in India. So before we left we meet our ministry contact her name was Drea and she is a very interesting person with a whole lot of wisdom that she would share when the need would arise. So we were off to the city of (due to security reasons I cannot say the actual name) Levelland and met the people who we would be living with and doing life with everyday while living in India. So as we settled into the place that we all started to refer to as the compound, we found out from the family that we were living with that we couldn’t leave the compound unless we were going to the ministry site. So we were a little beside ourselves, to say the least.
But thank God that that was was the case because I grew closer to God more so than I had ever before. In this time I was forced to one, sit down and read my bible everyday (and if you know me, that is a struggle). Two I started to grow deeper in my prayer life. So week one of ministry was very intense, it was like God picked us up and threw us in the deep end of the pool. We were in the villages of India ministering to people who were both believers and non-belivers telling them the good news of the gospel of Jesus. Also we were laying hands on people and praying for them to be healed so, if you’re like me and grew up never seeing someone healed, its a really hard concept to wrap your mind around. After all, in America we hear of some faith healing preacher was exposed as a fraud all the time, so I came into this with a very skeptical mindset.
So night one there was a woman who came to church and asked us to pray for her knee. We were told by our translator that she had had this pain for years and she could not walk properly for many years. So we prayed and afterwards she said that she felt better, thanked us, and then left. That threw me for a loop because, if I had knee pain for years and then was healed by God, I would be jumping up and down with joy. So after we had prayed for the rest of the crowd and were on our way to leaving, the team and myself were discussing the night and all that had transpired there. I was the first to speak and started to tell everyone that I was always very skeptical of faith healing and that I also knew that it was talked about in the Bible and that I believed that it could happen. At that moment I was looking through the back window of the truck we were sitting in and saw a figure running towards us. It was dark and I couldn’t see who it was, but as the person got closer I then saw that it was the woman that we had prayed for she was running towards us wanting us to pray for her family. In that moment I felt that God was flaunting what he could do, so I I decided to be one of the people who went and prayed for her family. After everything was said and done we had seen healing not just physically but also some spirit and soul renewed in there faith in God.
This is were I leave you my dear reader I do hope that you find hope in the things that God is doing and also remember that the same God that is over here is where you are. I encourage you to pray and read and step out in faith and see what God will do through you.
