0:00:00.000,0:00:02.480
Through that journey of my healing,

0:00:02.480,0:00:07.000
I realised that I grew more in faith [br]and I drew closer to God,

0:00:07.000,0:00:10.880
and my relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ actually improved.

0:00:17.520,0:00:20.600
Okay, our brother in Zambia - let us pray.

0:00:20.600,0:00:26.640
In the name of Jesus Christ!

0:00:26.640,0:00:35.880
Right now every damage to your muscles, to your bones - be restored in Jesus’ name!

0:00:35.880,0:00:40.840
Be restored in Jesus’ name.

0:00:40.840,0:00:46.000
Brother, can you just lift up your leg for me?

0:00:46.000,0:00:52.760
In the name of Jesus Christ,[br]be healed right now.

0:00:52.760,0:01:03.760
Every pain - come out of him, [br]in the name of Jesus Christ.

0:01:03.760,0:01:05.160
Thank You, Holy Spirit.

0:01:05.160,0:01:08.680
Brother, you are free to the glory of God.

0:01:08.680,0:01:11.920
You can check yourself right now.

0:01:11.920,0:01:16.440
I know you will not be able to [br]remove the cast at this moment,

0:01:16.440,0:01:18.720
but you can know that [br]God has touched you.

0:01:18.720,0:01:21.960
Just check yourself and give thanks [br]to God for your healing.

0:01:21.960,0:01:23.400
Thank You, Lord.

0:01:25.040,0:01:30.560
My name is Francis and [br]I'm from Zambia, Africa.

0:01:30.560,0:01:38.840
Last year in March, I had a fracture of my fibula whilst I was playing football.

0:01:38.840,0:01:48.840
But the nature of the injury and things which happened that led to it were not natural.

0:01:48.840,0:01:52.760
So it was an issue where at my workplace,

0:01:52.760,0:01:59.360
I was in the position of acting [br]head of department.

0:01:59.360,0:02:05.440
So with that opportunity, I brought in the aspect of having Scripture and prayers

0:02:05.440,0:02:08.840
at my place of work, [br]which is a learning institution.

0:02:08.840,0:02:12.440
So on a Friday, we had prayers with students.

0:02:12.440,0:02:17.480
We praised the Lord, shared the Word of God, and I knew this was how it should be.

0:02:17.480,0:02:26.320
The following day, Saturday, I went to play social football with my friends, like I always did.

0:02:26.320,0:02:30.840
Before I went to play the football match,[br]I received a text message

0:02:30.840,0:02:36.920
from one of the students who was in the prayer meeting that we had the previous day.

0:02:36.920,0:02:41.120
She had a dream where she saw [br]I was under attack -

0:02:41.120,0:02:43.800
there was an imminent attack [br]towards my life.

0:02:43.800,0:02:48.480
So on that fateful day, the [br]same Saturday, my heart...

0:02:48.480,0:02:53.040
You know, the heart knows when something is wrong but I just brushed it off

0:02:53.040,0:02:55.600
and said, ‘Father, let Your will be done’

0:02:55.600,0:02:58.880
because I didn’t know how the [br]attack was going to come.

0:02:58.880,0:03:02.240
I just thanked God for everything[br]and went on to play football.

0:03:02.240,0:03:13.040
So the match started around 5pm. The ground was moist because it had just rained.

0:03:13.040,0:03:16.120
So on that fateful day, to cut a long story short, as I was playing,

0:03:16.120,0:03:19.680
I slid into a tackle trying to play a ball.

0:03:19.680,0:03:24.200
I didn't have contact with any player, neither did I hit anything hard.

0:03:24.200,0:03:26.720
But after just sliding into a simple tackle,

0:03:26.720,0:03:30.280
when I was on the ground, [br]I could feel that my fibula broke.

0:03:30.280,0:03:34.880
So immediately there, most of my colleagues thought I was playing or pretending to just fall,

0:03:34.880,0:03:37.040
so I could maybe not [br]participate in the game.

0:03:37.040,0:03:43.120
But there and then, I could feel my bone moving; I could feel excruciating pain.

0:03:43.120,0:03:45.520
And immediately that happened,

0:03:45.520,0:03:49.080
it reminded me of the text message [br]I received that fateful day.

0:03:49.080,0:03:53.640
After that, I was rushed to the hospital [br]and then they did an X-ray.

0:03:53.640,0:03:58.520
After doing the X-ray, that's how they found out that my fibula bone had actually fractured,

0:03:58.520,0:04:02.680
and the fracture was as [br]if I was hit by something

0:04:02.680,0:04:06.920
that led to the bones completely detaching.

0:04:06.920,0:04:10.640
So, what was done was I was given a cast.

0:04:10.640,0:04:18.200
That cast I was given is the one actually shown in the video you saw.

0:04:18.200,0:04:22.960
And then I was, of course, put on painkillers and also some other medications.

0:04:22.960,0:04:27.400
But I was in excruciating pain [br]and I was given crutches.

0:04:27.400,0:04:32.440
So that same day I contacted the God’s Heart TV Team and explained my whole situation.

0:04:32.440,0:04:37.280
And immediately I sent my message,[br]the God’s Heart TV Team replied.

0:04:37.280,0:04:43.520
On that fateful day, of course, Brother Chris ministered the Word of God to us

0:04:43.520,0:04:44.600
before actually praying for us.

0:04:44.600,0:04:48.360
He said something which I've [br]never forgotten to this day.

0:04:48.360,0:04:52.520
He said something important, and [br]I believe he was led by the Holy Spirit,

0:04:52.520,0:04:56.320
on what would transpire, especially regarding my situation.

0:04:56.320,0:05:00.160
So in most cases, when [br]I watch God’s Heart TV,

0:05:00.160,0:05:03.400
I would see people being prayed for and you would see immediate healing.

0:05:03.400,0:05:05.200
People would feel something.

0:05:05.200,0:05:08.200
Others would feel electricity. [br]For others, it would be heat.

0:05:08.200,0:05:09.880
They would feel many things.

0:05:09.880,0:05:14.320
But before Brother Chris prayed for any of us that day, he mentioned something.

0:05:14.320,0:05:20.800
He said, “When you are being prayed for, the Holy Spirit works as He wills.”

0:05:20.800,0:05:25.680
So what that means is that it's not necessarily that you have to feel something,

0:05:25.680,0:05:29.040
or you have to fall down, or you have to manifest or whatever the case,

0:05:29.040,0:05:32.880
because when we come for prayer, [br]we come with a lot of expectations.

0:05:32.880,0:05:35.000
Maybe you will think that [br]when they pray for you,

0:05:35.000,0:05:38.080
for you to know that you are healed, [br]you have to feel some form of electricity.

0:05:38.080,0:05:39.880
You have to feel something.

0:05:39.880,0:05:45.040
Sometimes the Holy Spirit - you won’t even feel anything, but God will heal you.

0:05:45.040,0:05:49.640
So as Brother Chris administered prayer for me, when it was my turn for prayer,

0:05:49.640,0:05:54.920
one thing I remember I could feel was - [br]I had peace of heart.

0:05:54.920,0:05:56.280
That was the first thing I had.

0:05:56.280,0:05:58.360
Of course, there were a lot of things [br]that I was going through.

0:05:58.360,0:05:59.960
The fracture was just one of them.

0:05:59.960,0:06:04.840
But I had peace of heart and one thing that was prominent physically was

0:06:04.840,0:06:08.120
the pain which was in my leg subsided.

0:06:08.120,0:06:12.040
Other than that, I didn't feel any form of...

0:06:12.040,0:06:15.480
I didn't feel anything other [br]than the pain subsiding

0:06:15.480,0:06:20.920
and the peace of heart which I received on that fateful day I was prayed for.

0:06:20.920,0:06:23.480
And I was able to get some [br]strength in my leg

0:06:23.480,0:06:26.520
because, by then, I was in excruciating pain.

0:06:26.520,0:06:32.320
For me, the prayer and the whole experience was more than just the fracture,

0:06:32.320,0:06:35.440
because I believe I had [br]a fracture in my faith.

0:06:35.440,0:06:42.400
So through the experience, my healing [br]was quite special. I take it as special.

0:06:42.400,0:06:46.160
After Brother Chris prayed, [br]something that he mentioned was

0:06:46.160,0:06:50.720
that any spiritual element [br]that led to the fracture

0:06:50.720,0:06:53.720
and could have led to [br]complications was removed.

0:06:53.720,0:06:58.440
So in my case, my healing [br]took the ‘natural turn’ in that

0:06:58.440,0:07:01.720
I didn’t immediately receive [br]bone attachment.

0:07:01.720,0:07:06.520
It took some time and through [br]that journey of my healing,

0:07:06.520,0:07:11.040
I realised that I grew more in faith [br]and I drew closer to God,

0:07:11.040,0:07:15.160
and my relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ actually improved.

0:07:15.160,0:07:18.840
Okay, so I'm sure people can [br]see the two X-rays.

0:07:18.840,0:07:22.520
The one on the left is before prayer.

0:07:22.520,0:07:29.720
The one on the right is after prayer, [br]which I took about two weeks ago.

0:07:29.720,0:07:33.840
So that is the one which now shows my healing at the moment.

0:07:33.840,0:07:37.200
And glory be to God - my bones are fused.

0:07:37.200,0:07:42.680
All-in-all, my fracture has been healed [br]and God has healed my life.

0:07:42.680,0:07:47.200
So if you saw in the video, [br]I couldn't stand on my own.

0:07:47.200,0:07:48.520
So standing was a problem.

0:07:48.520,0:07:54.760
But now, I’m able to stand on my [br]two feet as people can see.

0:07:54.760,0:07:59.520
And, I can also balance. So this is the leg[br]which was affected - the left leg.

0:07:59.520,0:08:03.440
You can see I can actually balance [br]and have strength in my leg.

0:08:03.440,0:08:10.520
I can move freely, I can walk freely, I can jump and I can do so many physical activities

0:08:10.520,0:08:15.000
that I couldn’t do back then.[br]No pain in the bone!

0:08:15.000,0:08:20.040
You can even see how my leg looks - [br]some can’t even tell I had a fracture.

0:08:20.040,0:08:23.200
It has healed properly and [br]there is no deformity on my leg.

0:08:23.680,0:08:29.920
I would like to just advise my [br]fellow brothers and sisters -

0:08:29.920,0:08:32.080
as you are about to receive prayer,

0:08:32.080,0:08:38.600
one of the things to remember is that you cannot please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).

0:08:38.600,0:08:43.040
So I believe, in as much as we want to receive physical healing

0:08:43.040,0:08:45.440
or prayer for any type of problem we have,

0:08:45.440,0:08:49.480
we first need to believe that God [br]is going to heal our problems.

0:08:49.480,0:08:54.160
And then when God is healing us, [br]God wants salvation for us.

0:08:54.160,0:08:58.200
So He first has to build that [br]relationship in us with Him

0:08:58.200,0:09:00.640
that will enable us to maintain the healing.

0:09:00.640,0:09:04.960
Because I can receive healing today, [br]but if I don't maintain my relationship

0:09:04.960,0:09:08.360
with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,[br]I can lose that blessing.

0:09:08.360,0:09:11.200
I know others are praying for [br]promotions, for employment -

0:09:11.200,0:09:13.240
there are so many things that [br]people are praying for.

0:09:13.240,0:09:16.720
But the most important thing is - how are you going to maintain the blessing?

0:09:16.720,0:09:20.800
And in my case, God showed me patience and also perseverance,

0:09:20.800,0:09:23.000
and how to maintain my blessing.

0:09:23.000,0:09:28.080
And up to today, I'm thankful for the many gifts that God has shown in my life.
