God's Encouragement, Testimony of His Working, Spiritual warfare

Just to document some miracles that happened in December 2007 before it slips away due to busyness and procrastination if there’s time.

In Dec, when me and my CG has started the prayer and fasting chain, I found out through a conversation, or rather a question, that a colleague of mine have a father who’s a Christian (New Zealander) and a mum who’s Buddhist (Burmese).
And for herself, she is actually studying from both scriptures on the religion to find out which she wants, as she doesn’t want Just a religion.

As she was sick, I offered to pray for her as she was sick (down with flu, sore throat/fever).
Amazingly, God worked, and healed her of her fever and sore throat, as she excitedly told me. She asked me to pray for her again, for her blocked nose for 3 weeks already, but not healed despite much medication.
As usual, I didn’t ask her, but she told me that amazingly her blocked nose was healed and she could breathe again properly! Before this, she had to keep eating meals with soup, and she even lost 3kg due to that.
She asked me to pray for her work as well, as she faces some challenges/problems, and said she experienced peace after I prayed for her.

Another amazing thing was, she shared that few months ago she had a dream with Jesus in it, and how Jesus calmed a chaotic war like situation to peace, touched her forehead, told her He is Jesus, and went back to the bathtub which He was laying. I told her it is amazing and that Jesus appeared to her, as not everyone encounters this. I recalled I video I watched where a Muslim man who was sincerely seeking the true God where Jesus appeared to him in his dream at Mekah. Jesus also touched his forehead.
Well, as Pastor Jeff preached, there are many ways through which people come to know God. And for her was seeing Jesus in her dream, and experiencing God. Although is going for bible courses already. There must be a purpose.
I shared with her the bridge diagram and she said she already knows about the things I shared, but still has some unanswered questions/doubts.

She also wants to experience God more before she commits.

I invited her to out Christmas service. There she answered yes to want to know God personally. I was amazed. But I thank God accompanied her to the front to respond to God and pray the sinner’s prayer.
Again, I was very touched by the moment, with many people receiving Jesus in to their life.

I had no chance to speak to her more before she left to meet her sister.

Also in the auditorium, sitting on my left was a Philipino girl who walked in half way. She was separated from her other frens or family members coz there were not many seats left, or at all.
I couldn’t speak to her much as I was talking with my colleague and friend. But when I walked back after the response session, I greeted her again and asked whether she is new to Hope. Indeed she is, about 1 month new in Singapore, and her sister brought her here. I asked her carefully a few time whether she wants to know Jesus, she nodded her head/ say yes. I was so excited, I tried to get some help to talk with her to understand. But couldn’t find any. So I asked her to tell her sister instead.

The story after this, is a story of spiritual warfare..
Where the devils tries by all means to stop a new believer/ new born spiritual baby from going back to God. And it happens.
There were many hindrances, just as how my uncle couldn’t start his car just when that particular time he wanted to go to church to worship, fellowship and learn about God.

We need to continue to pray for their protection and that they will continue to grow in their faith..
