My back has been a source of discomfort and pain for the past four years. The discomfort and pain have grown in intensity over the years such that I could not even concentrate on routine tasks at work. I also grew frustrated and depressed, as the pain disturbed my sleep and rest. I felt suicidal.
When I called my friend Valerie, to share my frustrations with her, she told me instead to come to a healing service on 2nd November 2003 at her church, Bethesda Cathedral. I agreed to go.
When I arrived at Bethesda Cathedral, I was feeling really lousy as I was very tired and my back was hurting. During the service, I could hardly sit still in one position for more than a few minutes. Hence, when Pastor Tay made the call for those who needed healing, I rushed forward to be prayed for.
When Pastor placed his hand on my forehead and started praying for me, I was so overwhelmed by a sudden peace that I fell backwards. I learned later that I had been “slained” by the Holy Spirit.
When I “woke up” and walked back to my seat, I felt that I was being ‘lifted’ and moved along the aisle!
Shortly after, Valerie and I left the service. As I got into the car, I suddenly realised that there was no longer any pain in my back! The pain and discomfort have disappeared! Praise the Lord!
I cautiously found I could sit forward, move sideways, stretch out my hands and twist my body around all without any pain! Hallelujah!!
Throughout the journey home, I felt so relieved spiritually and emotionally as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders! The feeling was so good that I could not stop smiling throughout the journey.
It had been a long time since I felt such peace and the absence of this nagging pain in my back. That night, I slept deeply and well, which was again something that I had not experienced for a long time! Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord! |
