The ground was moist because it had just rained. 38 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,120 So on that fateful day, to cut a long story short, as I was playing, 39 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,680 I slid into a tackle trying to play a ball. 40 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,200 I didn't have contact with any player, neither did I hit anything hard. 41 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,720 But after just sliding into a simple tackle, 42 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,280 when I was on the ground, I could feel that my fibula broke. 43 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,880 So immediately there, most of my colleagues thought I was playing or pretending to just fall, 44 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,040 so I could maybe not participate in the game. 45 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,120 But there and then, I could feel my bone moving; I could feel excruciating pain. 46 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,520 And immediately that happened, 47 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,080 it reminded me of the text message I received that fateful day. 48 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,640 After that, I was rushed to the hospital and then they did an X-ray. 49 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,520 After doing the X-ray, that's how they found out that my fibula bone had actually fractured, 50 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,680 and the fracture was as if I was hit by something 51 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,920 that led to the bones completely detaching. 52 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,640 So, what was done was I was given a cast. 53 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:18,200 That cast I was given is the one actually shown in the video you saw. 54 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,960 And then I was, of course, put on painkillers and also some other medications. 55 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,400 But I was in excruciating pain and I was given crutches. 56 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,440 So that same day I contacted the God’s Heart TV Team and explained my whole situation. 57 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,280 And immediately I sent my message, the God’s Heart TV Team replied. 58 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:43,520 On that fateful day, of course, Brother Chris ministered the Word of God to us 59 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,600 before actually praying for us. 60 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,360 He said something which I've never forgotten to this day. 61 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,520 He said something important, and I believe he was led by the Holy Spirit, 62 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,320 on what would transpire, especially regarding my situation. 63 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,160 So in most cases, when I watch God’s Heart TV, 64 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,400 I would see people being prayed for and you would see immediate healing. 65 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,200 People would feel something. 66 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,200 Others would feel electricity. For others, it would be heat. 67 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,880 They would feel many things. 68 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,320 But before Brother Chris prayed for any of us that day, he mentioned something. 69 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:20,800 He said, “When you are being prayed for, the Holy Spirit works as He wills.” 70 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,680 So what that means is that it's not necessarily that you have to feel something, 71 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,040 or you have to fall down, or you have to manifest or whatever the case, 72 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,880 because when we come for prayer, we come with a lot of expectations. 73 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,000 Maybe you will think that when they pray for you, 74 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,080 for you to know that you are healed, you have to feel some form of electricity. 75 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,880 You have to feel something. 76 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,040 Sometimes the Holy Spirit - you won’t even feel anything, but God will heal you. 77 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,640 So as Brother Chris administered prayer for me, when it was my turn for prayer, 78 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,920 one thing I remember I could feel was - I had peace of heart. 79 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,280 That was the first thing I had. 80 00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,360 Of course, there were a lot of things that I was going through. 81 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,960 The fracture was just one of them. 82 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:04,840 But I had peace of heart and one thing that was prominent physically was 83 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:08,120 the pain which was in my leg subsided. 84 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,040 Other than that, I didn't feel any form of... 85 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,480 I didn't feel anything other than the pain subsiding 86 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,920 and the peace of heart which I received on that fateful day I was prayed for. 87 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,480 And I was able to get some strength in my leg 88 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,520 because, by then, I was in excruciating pain. 89 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,320 For me, the prayer and the whole experience was more than just the fracture, 90 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,440 because I believe I had a fracture in my faith. 91 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:42,400 So through the experience, my healing was quite special. I take it as special. 92 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,160 After Brother Chris prayed, something that he mentioned was 93 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,720 that any spiritual element that led to the fracture 94 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,720 and could have led to complications was removed. 95 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,440 So in my case, my healing took the ‘natural turn’ in that 96 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,720 I didn’t immediately receive bone attachment. 97 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,520 It took some time and through that journey of my healing, 98 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,040 I realised that I grew more in faith and I drew closer to God, 99 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,160 and my relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ actually improved. 100 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,840 Okay, so I'm sure people can see the two X-rays. 101 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,520 The one on the left is before prayer. 102 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:29,720 The one on the right is after prayer, which I took about two weeks ago. 103 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,840 So that is the one which now shows my healing at the moment. 104 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,200 And glory be to God - my bones are fused. 105 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,680 All-in-all, my fracture has been healed and God has healed my life. 106 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,200 So if you saw in the video, I couldn't stand on my own. 107 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,520 So standing was a problem. 108 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,760 But now, I’m able to stand on my two feet as people can see. 109 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,520 And, I can also balance. So this is the leg which was affected - the left leg. 110 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,440 You can see I can actually balance and have strength in my leg. 111 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:10,520 I can move freely, I can walk freely, I can jump and I can do so many physical activities 112 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,000 that I couldn’t do back then. No pain in the bone! 113 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,040 You can even see how my leg looks - some can’t even tell I had a fracture. 114 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,200 It has healed properly and there is no deformity on my leg. 115 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,920 I would like to just advise my fellow brothers and sisters - 116 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,080 as you are about to receive prayer, 117 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:38,600 one of the things to remember is that you cannot please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). 118 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,040 So I believe, in as much as we want to receive physical healing 119 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,440 or prayer for any type of problem we have, 120 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,480 we first need to believe that God is going to heal our problems. 121 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,160 And then when God is healing us, God wants salvation for us. 122 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,200 So He first has to build that relationship in us with Him 123 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,640 that will enable us to maintain the healing. 124 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,960 Because I can receive healing today, but if I don't maintain my relationship 125 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,360 with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I can lose that blessing. 126 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,200 I know others are praying for promotions, for employment - 127 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,240 there are so many things that people are praying for. 128 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,720 But the most important thing is - how are you going to maintain the blessing? 129 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,800 And in my case, God showed me patience and also perseverance, 130 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000 and how to maintain my blessing. 131 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,080 And up to today, I'm thankful for the many gifts that God has shown in my life.
