Built into every testimony is the expectation - God will do it again. What we are seeing is a gentle stream of good happenings that we thank God for. Thorn was our latest. A very anxious lady, she had a dream three nights ago of Jesus telling her 'there is nothing the matter with you any longer'. The following morning (this Tuesday) she had an appointment at the clinic and heard the doctor repeat the same words.
Jealousy is a very big issue here. Therefore, learning to rejoice with others in their good news, rather than defaulting to jealousy, is a very necessary learning curve in the Christian community. We had a fantastic opportunity to rejoice yesterday when Pam told us her fresh testimony. The details, as I understand them, concerned a lady who had a broken ankle that had never been correctly set, plus a stroke that had paralysed her down the right side. She lives in a shack on a local dump. I understand the ankle situation goes back two years - the stroke maybe not quite as long.
Pam prayed for her a few days ago, and she was instantly healed - bang. Pam then took her to a clinic to check things out. Pam and the lady were known at this clinic, so as soon as Pam pulled up, staff went to get a wheelchair. 'No need' says Pam - as her lady literally ran into the building and started to shout 'Jesus has healed me'.
Pam - at my recent birthday with gifts wrapped in riel (Cambodian currency - each note is like 3c!) Pam is more dangerous than first appearances - she seems to be this sweetest, easy going Pom. I asked her if she had a tape recording of her prayer! She says that she simply asked Jesus to reveal His love to the poor, helplessly desperate lady and then prayed something real simple. How good is that!
