A Healing Encounter with JESUS @ FOP (3 Aug 08)

Went to FOP (Festival of Praise) for the 2nd day on Sunday. Went on Friday with Miss Liwen. :)

During worship led by fellow Hillsongers band (with Rueben Morgan), I sensed the Spirit/God speaking to me:
"Look to me, not your friend"...(the sole reason i was there is because i had the opportunity to invite a fren there so that she could encounter Jesus/God's love too..)
me: hmmh? Is it God talking to me??
"I WILL HEAL YOU."
me: Hmm, ok.. (am i just thinking/making things up in my head?? but doesn't seem like it.)

(before the Festival started, i was running about trying to meet the needs of the various friends whom somehow got connected together and I was their connection link to get everyone taken care off, including a sister in a wheel chair!)

after the session, I was concerned for how God can touch my fren Michelle with the song lyrics/Holy Spirit whatever..

But God told me to look to Him instead.. coz He wanted to minister to me..

Hence i obeyed the prompting of the Holy Spirit/voice of God.
Amazingly/to my surpise, after i closed my eyes, quiten down and focused on God, the next song that was sung was briefly became
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus.."! wow.

The timing was so perfect..
during the song, I had a vision of Jesus coming to me (He was large, but it was dark as my eyes were closed in the darkened concert hall). I saw him streched his hand towards my head. At that point i was thinking whether I was making/imagining things on my own head. And I also thinking what would Jesus/God want to heal me of??
my Physical health or emotional health/heart??,or of everything/wholly? (that would be great!)

But i resovled to not question so much and just let God what He wanted/heal me, not knowing what would be healed.
After that the vision just disappeared. And moments after that,the burden, heaviness/uneasiness in my heart was gone. Lifted. I didn't have that gnawing or draggy feeling that weighted my heart down due to some triggers being around anymore!

With that I just thanked God and praised & worshipped Him with great JOY..!! i could even smile at my trigger.

Despite that, i still had doubts whether my heart was really healed? Or was it just a temporary feeling or release.
Time would tell.

And indeed till the very next day, the thing that was causing me to be distracted the entire week unable to focus on my work was gone. My heart was no longer down/disturbed. My emotional turmoil was gone..
Praise God!!

I was indeed very touched by His love for me that He came down to look for me and meet me face to face. (I was desperate for a cure and I needed/wanted to function well to finish or do my work at work!) And God came to rescue me and brought me up out of the slimy pit.

Many weeks ago during church service when i started to be down due to hurts, Michael spoke words of prophecy to encouraged those who are in emotional turmoil to find quiet time to be with Jesus for Him to minister.

However, guess the busy/easily distracted me didn't get to sit down quiet or long enough or at all to seek God/Jesus's face. Admist the brief prayers and reading of His words, merely.

Conclusion: I am in love with Jesus now. As i've MET Him personally. And His Love healed my heart apart from the spiritual/divine healing.

Praise God for His goodness and kindness to me! :)
