Healing Service

Submitted by Anonymous on November 5, 2008

Here is the testimony I wanted to share but chickened out.  The healing service was great for me because I really did feel God’s presence.  I’ve been having issues with my speech lately and that’s the main reason I went to the healing service.  My teeth have narrowed and it’s been difficult for me to pronounce or enunciate clearly.  Along with that I have had confusion or cloudiness of mind.  I’ll start talking with a thought and really lose my train of thought and end up not knowing what I am talking about.  So this has turned into worry and fear of talking.  I’m pretty shy anyways so the last thing I need is to have another stress added in the social realm.  Anyway, that’s what I briefly told everyone who prayed for me at the healing service.  I got some awesome prayer and then I went over and was talking to a friend.  We decided to go back over for more worship.  Once I shut my eyes I felt a hand on me and I assumed it was my friend wanting to pray for me.  I was surprised to hear your voice and then amazed with what God was speaking through you.  A few services ago someone gave a testimony about three deer appearing and that it was a clear sign for them that God knew where they were in their life and that he was there to.  I have been praying for my three deer since…

My speech and difficult time thinking has put me in a lonely place.  Also, I was dating this great girl a month ago and things were awesome and I could not have been happier until she blindsided me and said she didn’t want a serious relationship because she was to busy with work and grad school…aka she didn’t like me.  So needless to say I have felt lonely and like I don’t have much to offer in conversation, relationship or just being a fun person in general.  So the image you had of Jesus being alone and that He wants me to know I am not alone was pretty amazing for me!  It was my three deer I needed to see.  And the best part was that I hadn’t told you anything so I knew it was God speaking!! (and you did an awesome job relaying the message).

I was disappointed I didn’t get up and share a testimony.  That’s one thing I need to get over is the fear of possibly being embarrassed.  But when you talked about the fact that even you felt strongly that God had that image for me and how it definitely hit home with my tears, it just made me happy to hear.  The healing service was great but church was even more confirmation that God is moving and I’m so glad that I can feel it.
