WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480 Through that journey of my healing, 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:07.000 I realised that I grew more in faith and I drew closer to God, 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.880 and my relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ actually improved. 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:20.600 Okay, our brother in Zambia - let us pray. 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.640 In the name of Jesus Christ! 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:35.880 Right now every damage to your muscles, to your bones - be restored in Jesus’ name! 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.840 Be restored in Jesus’ name. 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:46.000 Brother, can you just lift up your leg for me? 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.760 In the name of Jesus Christ, be healed right now. 00:00:52.760 --> 00:01:03.760 Every pain - come out of him, in the name of Jesus Christ. 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:05.160 Thank You, Holy Spirit. 00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:08.680 Brother, you are free to the glory of God. 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.920 You can check yourself right now. 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.440 I know you will not be able to remove the cast at this moment, 00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.720 but you can know that God has touched you. 00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:21.960 Just check yourself and give thanks to God for your healing. 00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:23.400 Thank You, Lord. 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.560 My name is Francis and I'm from Zambia, Africa. 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:38.840 Last year in March, I had a fracture of my fibula whilst I was playing football. 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:48.840 But the nature of the injury and things which happened that led to it were not natural. 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.760 So it was an issue where at my workplace, 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:59.360 I was in the position of acting head of department. 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.440 So with that opportunity, I brought in the aspect of having Scripture and prayers 00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:08.840 at my place of work, which is a learning institution. 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.440 So on a Friday, we had prayers with students. 00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:17.480 We praised the Lord, shared the Word of God, and I knew this was how it should be. 00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:26.320 The following day, Saturday, I went to play social football with my friends, like I always did. 00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:30.840 Before I went to play the football match, I received a text message 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.920 from one of the students who was in the prayer meeting that we had the previous day. 00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:41.120 She had a dream where she saw I was under attack - 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.800 there was an imminent attack towards my life. 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:48.480 So on that fateful day, the same Saturday, my heart... 00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:53.040 You know, the heart knows when something is wrong but I just brushed it off 00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:55.600 and said, ‘Father, let Your will be done’ 00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:58.880 because I didn’t know how the attack was going to come. 00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:02.240 I just thanked God for everything and went on to play football. 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:13.040 So the match started around 5pm. The ground was moist because it had just rained. 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:16.120 So on that fateful day, to cut a long story short, as I was playing, 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.680 I slid into a tackle trying to play a ball. 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.200 I didn't have contact with any player, neither did I hit anything hard. 00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:26.720 But after just sliding into a simple tackle, 00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:30.280 when I was on the ground, I could feel that my fibula broke. 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.880 So immediately there, most of my colleagues thought I was playing or pretending to just fall, 00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:37.040 so I could maybe not participate in the game. 00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.120 But there and then, I could feel my bone moving; I could feel excruciating pain. 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.520 And immediately that happened, 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.080 it reminded me of the text message I received that fateful day. 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.640 After that, I was rushed to the hospital and then they did an X-ray. 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, 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.680 and the fracture was as if I was hit by something 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.920 that led to the bones completely detaching. 00:04:06.920 --> 00:04:10.640 So, what was done was I was given a cast. 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:18.200 That cast I was given is the one actually shown in the video you saw. 00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:22.960 And then I was, of course, put on painkillers and also some other medications. 00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:27.400 But I was in excruciating pain and I was given crutches. 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. 00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:37.280 And immediately I sent my message, the God’s Heart TV Team replied. 00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:43.520 On that fateful day, of course, Brother Chris ministered the Word of God to us 00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:44.600 before actually praying for us. 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.360 He said something which I've never forgotten to this day. 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.520 He said something important, and I believe he was led by the Holy Spirit, 00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:56.320 on what would transpire, especially regarding my situation. 00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:00.160 So in most cases, when I watch God’s Heart TV, 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.400 I would see people being prayed for and you would see immediate healing. 00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:05.200 People would feel something. 00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:08.200 Others would feel electricity. For others, it would be heat. 00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:09.880 They would feel many things. 00:05:09.880 --> 00:05:14.320 But before Brother Chris prayed for any of us that day, he mentioned something. 00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:20.800 He said, “When you are being prayed for, the Holy Spirit works as He wills.” 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.680 So what that means is that it's not necessarily that you have to feel something, 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.040 or you have to fall down, or you have to manifest or whatever the case, 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.880 because when we come for prayer, we come with a lot of expectations. 00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:35.000 Maybe you will think that when they pray for you, 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.080 for you to know that you are healed, you have to feel some form of electricity. 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:39.880 You have to feel something. 00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:45.040 Sometimes the Holy Spirit - you won’t even feel anything, but God will heal you. 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.640 So as Brother Chris administered prayer for me, when it was my turn for prayer, 00:05:49.640 --> 00:05:54.920 one thing I remember I could feel was - I had peace of heart. 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.280 That was the first thing I had. 00:05:56.280 --> 00:05:58.360 Of course, there were a lot of things that I was going through. 00:05:58.360 --> 00:05:59.960 The fracture was just one of them. 00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:04.840 But I had peace of heart and one thing that was prominent physically was 00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:08.120 the pain which was in my leg subsided. 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.040 Other than that, I didn't feel any form of... 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.480 I didn't feel anything other than the pain subsiding 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:20.920 and the peace of heart which I received on that fateful day I was prayed for. 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.480 And I was able to get some strength in my leg 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.520 because, by then, I was in excruciating pain. 00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:32.320 For me, the prayer and the whole experience was more than just the fracture, 00:06:32.320 --> 00:06:35.440 because I believe I had a fracture in my faith. 00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:42.400 So through the experience, my healing was quite special. I take it as special. 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:46.160 After Brother Chris prayed, something that he mentioned was 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.720 that any spiritual element that led to the fracture 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.720 and could have led to complications was removed. 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.440 So in my case, my healing took the ‘natural turn’ in that 00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:01.720 I didn’t immediately receive bone attachment. 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.520 It took some time and through that journey of my healing, 00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:11.040 I realised that I grew more in faith and I drew closer to God, 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.160 and my relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ actually improved. 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.840 Okay, so I'm sure people can see the two X-rays. 00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:22.520 The one on the left is before prayer. 00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:29.720 The one on the right is after prayer, which I took about two weeks ago. 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.840 So that is the one which now shows my healing at the moment. 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:37.200 And glory be to God - my bones are fused. 00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:42.680 All-in-all, my fracture has been healed and God has healed my life. 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.200 So if you saw in the video, I couldn't stand on my own. 00:07:47.200 --> 00:07:48.520 So standing was a problem. 00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:54.760 But now, I’m able to stand on my two feet as people can see. 00:07:54.760 --> 00:07:59.520 And, I can also balance. So this is the leg which was affected - the left leg. 00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:03.440 You can see I can actually balance and have strength in my leg. 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 00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:15.000 that I couldn’t do back then. No pain in the bone! 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. 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.200 It has healed properly and there is no deformity on my leg. 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:29.920 I would like to just advise my fellow brothers and sisters - 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.080 as you are about to receive prayer, 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). 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:43.040 So I believe, in as much as we want to receive physical healing 00:08:43.040 --> 00:08:45.440 or prayer for any type of problem we have, 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.480 we first need to believe that God is going to heal our problems. 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:54.160 And then when God is healing us, God wants salvation for us. 00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:58.200 So He first has to build that relationship in us with Him 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.640 that will enable us to maintain the healing. 00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:04.960 Because I can receive healing today, but if I don't maintain my relationship 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.360 with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I can lose that blessing. 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.200 I know others are praying for promotions, for employment - 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.240 there are so many things that people are praying for. 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.720 But the most important thing is - how are you going to maintain the blessing? 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.800 And in my case, God showed me patience and also perseverance, 00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:23.000 and how to maintain my blessing. 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.
