How did this all start?
What was my journey like?
Where am I coming from?
I can remember as a child feeling a profound emptiness in my heart, but I knew not why. I seemingly had all a child of 5 would want. Loving parents, good friends, toys a sister, good grades in school etc. But something was missing. I now know what or Who I was missing. It was Jesus.
Growing up I had a few friends and family members who were sick and near to death. I cried out to God, I prayed, fasted, made deals with God. Still they died. At the time I was upset with God and turned away from Him. I blamed him for not answering or hearing my prayer. Little did I know.But a seed was planted even from a very young age that God heals.
I can remember instances in the last 10 years when I prayed for people and while there was power and his presence, thee still was no healing. There was a neighbour of mine who had cancer, who later died. A sweet woman.
I just didn't know then yet how to walk in healing or how to manifest the healing power of God.
I can remember a mentor I had who moved in healing. He had a toothache once and refused to see a dentist believing God would heal Him. I thought He was a fanatic an extremist. Little did I know that I would follow him , going and doing likewise.
I can remember as a teenager, hearing the gospel for the first time and how the word of God in 1 Cor. 12 leaped off the page into my heart.
I can remember more than years ago, full of zeal visiting the hospitals with a church ministry. We were sharing our faith with the sick there and praying for them.
There was a girl there who was very ill, had sores and could not walk. I gave her my copy of Christ the Healer. I went back the next week and she was discharged and walking. A Miracle . Yes. But to God be the glory. I had nothing to do with it. Healing was a mystery then.
More to come in Part II
