WAIT! That’s what my husband and I were told by the Holy Spirit as we waited for the Lord to lead us to the right cell group (CG) where we are able to serve Him in this season. Truly praying in the Spirit connects us to Him who we seek and find for a real relationship with God.
We are so amazed by His leading to serve and be served in a CG who are hungry to learn and share experiences with us. We are truly blessed to be able to be real with our CG members and have a good time of bonding as we journey together in CG each time. We are a family of 2-year olds up to seniors – 3 generations together.
God has also been so real especially lately as I was able to reach out for prayers for my recent eye operation in July. Indeed it was a living testimony of His goodness in answering our CG members’ prayers and prayers of all brothers and sisters in Christ for me for all the provisions needed for my operation.
Firstly, He had provided the right doctors to diagnose my eyes and a Professor to carry out the operation successfully. God had also provided the finance on time so that the operation could proceed as planned. (Approval was given a few days before the operation by the government.) I truly felt peace as the presence of the Lord was with me throughout the operation which was done with me being wide awake all the time!
Secondly, the prayers for a quick recovery had amazed the doctor who did the follow up after one week saying that he was surprised that the healing was so fast. I immediately told him it was God’s hand who made it possible and I received a long stare from the doctor.
A few weeks later, during CG I was able to share on the amazing speedy recovery testified by the follow up doctor and also that I did not need reading glasses anymore after the operation. Indeed the operation was a blessing of healing with His presence in it.
I hope that all the CG members and the body of Christ who had prayed for me have been strengthened in their faith in prayer and be encouraged that prayer in His presence daily is so important to be connected to the Holy Spirit. Come to the Lord and call upon Him anytime with a humble, honest heart and trust Him completely to lead in all circumstances in His Ways. As He is glorified, I give thanks for all prayers that He answers.
