Sharing my testimony

On the 18th of April 2009 I had the privilege to share my testimony at Russell and Gerrie’s church, Amazing Grace Church at Bromley. It was the first time and I knew from the Lord that I should not wait for medical clearance but go ahead.

It was an amazing experience to me and I enjoyed every minute of it. I shared God’s grace and mercy over my life in all this time of chemo treatments and how God cared for me. I had minimal side effects and the further I went in treatment the more exciting it was. I experienced God’s hand upon my body and could share this with the church encouraging the people to keep God’s Word in their thoughts and heart. As Jesus said in John 14:1…Do not let your heart be troubled believe in God and believe also in Me.

I shared Matthew 14:22-33. (NKJ)

Jesus Walks on the Sea

22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” 28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

Jesus walked on the same storm which was terrifying the disciples in the boat. They were about to drown but Jesus called out to them to be of good cheer, rejoice guys it is I don’t be afraid. Who wants to rejoice if they are about to drown? The storm only ceased as Jesus got into the boat. Jesus is walking on top of our storms.

After I shared my testimony we prayed for people and trust God to fulfil their needs. A missionary, James came to me and shared what he felt in his heart as I was speaking. Many are called but few are chosen… I should share my testimony to proclaim the works of God in my healing journey for His glory. God has chosen me to continue.
He concluded that everything we need is in Jesus Christ the Son of God who is the Healer, Deliverer, Saviour and the One who blesses us.

As I allow the Word of the Lord to renew my mind faith is building and I can rest in Him knowing He is my Father.

Matthew 7:9-11 (NKJ)

9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Let us allow the Word of God to change us.
