He STILL Heals.

The following is a testimony from An, and amazingly, I've been blessed as a result.  These are the moments where I find myself really thanking God for a mighty man of God and a true believer as a husband.  It's not just something I want... it's something I need.  It's so easy to lose hope in my healing.  I do it all the time.  I've been inflicted with this disease for so long that I've grown so acclimated to it.  I honestly can't imagine a life without it, so praying for a life without lupus is hard when I don't even know what I'm praying for actually feels like.  In Jesus' name, I refuse to find comfort in our inflictions, and I will continue to believe and fight for the health that's rightfully ours.  Thank you, my love.

For almost 3 years now, my left knee has been giving me problems, preventing me from doing normal jogging and hindering me from certain goals. When jogging, I would always have to wear a knee brace, and that would only help for up to 2 miles... and that only lessened the pain. Even with the brace, my knee would continue to hurt for a day or two. A few weeks ago, I had a dream of where I received complete healing in my knee when Pastor Stephen prayed over me. The Holy Spirit was so real and vivid that I woke up sweating and sobbing. The following day, I told Pastor Stephen about the dream and asked him to pray for my leg. I must admit that afterwards, I was still afraid to jog without the knee brace. So, up until Thursday of last week, I’ve kept the brace on out of fear of the pain. 

I want my VBC family to know that our God is truly Jehovah Rophe! As of Friday June 22nd, I was able to go 4 miles, NO stopping, NO knee brace. As I was reaching my 2-mile mark that day, I was speaking life back into my body, “This is God’s body, In the name of Jesus!” and before I knew it, I reached 4 miles. I’ve never felt so good after a jog before! Finishing that 4-mile jog was one of the biggest accomplishments I’ve done physically for 3 years. It doesn’t stop here, my friends. God doesn’t just bring you to where you want to be and stops. He brings you there and wants to give you the strength to do more and go even further than you can imagine. In fact, I am typing this post today because I just finished 6.22 miles with no pain. I actually didn’t even want to stop. Praise the Lord!

Believe in his power! Pastor Khanh once said that we should NEVER believe that God wants us to be sick. Why else would He create an immune system, right? God loves us, and he doesn’t just give us what we want, he gives us what we need, and we all need healing. Now, I am looking forward to God working in my wife. I believe that because we are one, God wants me to believe in His healing in order for her to be completely healed of lupus.

God Bless.
