At the National Healing Campaign hearing Prophet TB Joshua!
Today I witnessed a powerful spiritual eye-opening session at the National Healing Campaign at Indoor Stadium. The prophet TB Joshua was in town, and Marlene dropped me a note to ask if I was going. I didn't check mail by then, so stuck in a dilemma if I should go or not. I had youth comm. Meeting at OLPS to think about as well. In the end -- I decided. Meetings are meetings.. but it can't replace a rally that only comes once a year.
And so at Indoor Stadium, listening to all the talking and singing.. half of me was bored and sleepy - the thought - I'm tired, heard this before, so what's really new this time? Spiritually, I had tonnes of questions and complaints against God, like, God, I'm here, doing your work, yet it is so difficult, and it is so hard to follow your Will all the time (self-righteous / & self-pity syndromes acting up)... Yet if we slip up, we miss heaven, how cruel is that?
Well, finally Prophet Joshua arrived.. late.. we were all waiting with anticipation. It was already 9plus pm! He then began his message - love - ok heard that... regurgitation. But then, he moved on to stuff which I found difficult to swallow. He said ----- we are all conscious sinners ---- we sin and yet make up excuses for the sin. We blame our situations, we blame other people, we blame circumstances. He also said --- if we want healing, we gotta be willing to accept the Will of the Father and walk in His Will... totally.
And this struck me. Because if I haven't abided in HIM totally, healing doesn't come. It's true to a certain aspect.
And then there was some worship songs being sung and I distinctly recall the feeling of this: a gentle subsiding of anger and rebelliousness... and as I opened my eyes to look at the crowd (which I looked at pretty cynically before... - like oh these people are on fire, but not me)... I felt a different thought: - Look at these beautiful people praising the Lord... isn't the Lord worthy to be praised? Look at the colourful lights... isn't this like a rainbow? So beautiful!
Prophet TB Joshua then walked down the stage into the middle of the stadium and began to do the healing & praying over for the more sick people... And many lame stood up and walked... And it was also a deliverance session. For the first time, I witnessed people being freed from spirits. True. It's really true. Spirits of 'snake', 'monkey', 'lizzard', witchcraft.... it was truly entertaining and astounding -- how these spirits could have inhabited the person for like 20 years, and torment them all those times. Those people shrieked and writhered on the ground, as Prophet Joshua challenged those spirits in them to confess their name and leave the person. And it was no act. The people truly shrieked and slithered on the ground, and the monkey spirit really really sounded monkey.
----------------------------------------
And well, at the end, it's now back home for me... 2:30am - late again as usual.. but I want to write these down before I forget. The Lord is truly awesome, and is the God over all Gods. Every knee on earth shall confess that Jesus is Lord and the spirits of this world are all under his feet. Truly there is a very very real spiritual realm out there, and if we choose to ignore it and live our pretty, accomplished, successful lives while ignoring God's will, work, and existence, I believe, we are only kidding ourselves.
Today, I am forced with the decision of choosing to be all for HIM - or just a lukewarm catholic. And once again, I am undecided..... because it has been all too good - being just me - seeking human approval - seeking comfort - seeking luxuries - and being - just - lukewarm.
I wanna be set on fire for God again!
