What an awesome God!

Me and Remus

It was 25^th of January 2012, I was so busy doing my work. That night I felt so heavy and I was running a slight fever. I thought it is due only to exhaustion.

So I ended up sleeping early. The next morning the fever is getting worse and my throat is swelling up. It was tonsillitis. It is so hard to ingest food! (TT_TT)

In almost 5 days that was my condition. Even as I am taking medications it feels like it isn’t working… Friday came, it was evening and my sister needs to go to work already and my husband is still at work in the office. I was left alone in the house. I was still running a fever by that time; I’m so scared that time. Thinking what if something bad happens to me. And some other negative thoughts run through my mind. I called my husband Remus what time he will be arriving but he still needs to finish some work. I understand him but I still worried. I remembered what my mama says every time that I am sick. “You need to pray to Jesus cause He is the great Healer and comforter” and so I did pray. Yeah after I prayed I become at ease and I felt his comfort.  But I feel that I am still sick.

The next day Saturday evening it feels like I’m craving for Japanese food. But it is already too late for a delivery, or for restaurants to be still open. I felt like I am able to swallow some food already. So I decided that I would go to Market Market the next day, it is located at Mabini Avenue corner McKinley Parkway, Bonifacio Global City Taguig. There I found the food that I wanted and ate. But still my throat is swelling and still hard to swallow.

My husband and I are supposed to go to VCF Pioneer. But since we are already near VCF The Fort and Pioneer is already far from where we are. We decided to have our Sunday Church Service there. Whoa! It was a huge place.

We don’t know where is the service being held so we waited a bit. A lady beside me, show me where I should go. I was surprise cause I am not asking her. She is kind. J  So we got upstairs and went to the assembly hall and waited for the service to start.

Before the praise and worship behind my mind something is telling me to go seek a pastor and ask for a prayer for healing. My husband told me to go after the service. But then, the pastor on the stage I don’t even know what his name is started praying. Then he pauses for a while and suddenly he is asking for other pastors and VG leaders to go to the front and pray for those people that are coming to the front. Maybe he felt or discerned that many souls are asking for healing for themselves, their loved ones or someone that they know who is suffering from any sickness and that moment I know the Holy Spirit is guiding me. I normally wouldn’t go in front or seek others for a prayer. Especially when I don’t even know whom that person is.  But I have a conviction that I had to do it, and so I did.

In front I saw another lady maybe around 30-40. She is smiling at me so I started smiling back and tells her that I need healing for my tonsillitis. That time I had difficulty saying any words cause of my swelling throat. Then we started praying. I believe that God really is in there I can personally feel it. Because that very moment I felt that a very hot energy is flowing from the tips of my head down to my throat then to my whole body. “Whoa! It was really an awesome feeling. “ It is so amazing cause it feels that a big lumps in my throat is just taken out! And I felt so relieved! I tested if I can now speak normally, and I did! I was crying out of overflowing joyfulness. I said thank you to the lady who prayed for me and then went back to my seat. I was so happy I couldn’t contain it so I told my husband what I felt on how God is so awesome!

Afterwards we started singing again. So happy I could sing to my hearts content cause there’s a voice coming out again from my mouth! The pastor told a story about the faith of the centurion. It is in Matthew 8: 5-13.  I love the verse 13. (Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.) That is exactly what happened to me. I was healed at that very moment! J  After that I thought I had already experienced a great deal but after the series Thrive. Read Romans 8: 1-11. I was so happy attending that church.

Truly God is always in control. It is not an accident that we are in that place at the right time. Jesus is always there to guide us. Showing how He loves us. Wanting to be with each and every one of us. We just need to believe Him and follow Him. How awesome He really is! Right? J
