A good testimony

mm, a good testimony shared by my cg member.

In a hokkien service, when pastor ask who need prayer, go to the altar, suddenly God prompted his heart to ask the couple beside him. And he asked them if they need prayer, they can go in fron for pastor to pray. And then, they said nvm. Right after, he asked the aunty who is just right beside him, "Aunty, do you want to believe in Jesus?".. the Aunty waved her hand indicated "NO NO NO.."... Persistent, he continued to ask the aunty if there's any pain in her body that she needs prayer (because he remember the Elijah challenge that we learned months ago in church about God healing the sick so that unbeliever can witnessed God's presence). And the aunty told him that, she has been having this gastric pain for years and cannot recover, and it is still pain today. With boldness, my friend just rebuke the sickness in Jesus name.... and asked the aunty, "Aunty, I have done the prayer, do you still feel pain now?"..... and.......... the aunty said.."NO.."... she was excited. And continued from that, he asked her, "Aunty, do you want to believe in Jesus now?" and the aunty agreed. So he led her to sinners prayers.

Right after, he moved towards the uncle. And with the same question, he ask the uncle.."Uncle, do you want to believe in Jesus?".... same.....Uncle rejected. Again, my friend ask the uncle.."Uncle, do you have any pain in ur body that i can pray for u, right here, right now?".. uncle shared to him about his thumb, cannot bend for years and his wife knows about it. And with boldness, my friend prayed and rebuked the sickness. Right after.."Uncle.... i have done the prayer, you show to your wife now, whether it is healed?"... WOW....... and aunty said.."wow.. he is healed... his finger can bend now.." And with the same question, he asked the uncle.."Uncle, do you want to believe in Jesus now?".. and uncle said "YES". And same, he led him to sinners prayer.

mm, He was so excited on that day.
1.) Due to he is able to sense God's prompting in his heart.
2.) Due to God exercised His power for Elijah challenge and led 2 people to Christ. ( First two in his life!)

mm, This story encouraged me as well.. I am reminded of the power of Jesus, for He is an overcomer. It's great to have a God like that. :) Amen~~ I hope i will be able to bring my first 2 people to Christ too... yeah~~
