Answered Prayer
“Today was the first time I felt the freedom of laying myself down. I always blamed me, hated me, did more on myself. Today I am free from myself.”
Praise the Lord. Thank you for today's words, Pastor. In each of the messages I have sent you so far, I have always said I would try to change, I would try to do better.
Today was the first time I felt the freedom of laying myself down. I always blamed me, hated me, did more on myself. Today I am free from myself.
During our prayer meeting, I was praying for my mother. Today she is turning 50 years old — it is her birthday. In my native country my mother stays alone, and when I was blessing her, the Holy Spirit put someone else's mother in my heart to bless instead. She stays back alone too. I chose to serve rather than seek my own comfort. From that moment I was not able to pray for my mother — unintentionally, the Holy Spirit moved me to bless someone else's mother first.
It reminded me of how you taught us to bless others before we receive, and without my own effort I experienced how the Holy Spirit blesses others through my heart.
One more testimony: I desired in my heart to give one more rice bag offering for my mother's birthday this month, but I didn't have enough money. Today, after prayer, money automatically came — a friend sent it back to me, and I sent it for others to eat.
Our God is a wonderful God. Thank you for teaching us all that you learned, to seek Jesus truly, Pastor. Please bless my mother in your prayers.
