-
I was expectant. I said to myself,
‘This case has defied medical knowledge
-
and it will not defy the power of God.’
-
If there is still pain in any part of
your body, place your hand there.
-
Wherever that pain is located,
in the name of Jesus Christ,
-
the anointing of the Holy Spirit
is here to heal.
-
Be healed in Jesus' name!
-
My name is Ivan and I live here in Norway.
-
Originally, I am from Uganda.
-
I had an ailment that really
got me out of my position.
-
I even had to actually take time off work.
-
And the ailment actually caused
pain in my chest cavity,
-
whereby I had intense pain.
-
I could not explain where
it was coming from.
-
It was so intense that
I could not do anything.
-
About 15 years ago, I had suffered
from acute pneumonia,
-
while I was still back home in Uganda
before I relocated to Norway.
-
And the case was so intense that part of
the left lobe of my lung broke down.
-
I got hospitalised for a month.
-
And even when I left the hospital,
-
I had to go through recovery sessions
for about a month. It was so bad.
-
So when I developed those pains,
I started relating it to that case,
-
that it probably could be that the
pneumonia was remanifesting.
-
When the pain persisted, I decided...
-
Remember, at that moment I had
stopped working because I couldn't turn.
-
Even when it came to walking, making a step, I would feel terrible pain inside.
-
Even whenever I would be sleeping,
turning from one side to the other,
-
it was trouble, it was a problem.
-
So I decided to contact my doctor.
-
While she was examining me,
she tried to touch the area
-
because I told her that the pain
was inside my chest cavity.
-
They were so intense.
-
I even didn't know how
to explain my pain to her.
-
So the case, I think, became
so challenging for her.
-
And then she decided to refer me to a
bigger hospital for consultative services.
-
I went and on reaching there they gave
me emergency admission.
-
So I got a team of doctors and nurses.
They came and examined me.
-
They interviewed me and
I told them everything.
-
And then they said they were going to take an X-ray and then do a scan of my heart.
-
So they came and took me in and took two
X-rays of my chest cavity.
-
They took samples of blood from me,
actually multiple samples of blood,
-
because they had to make several tests.
-
What surprised me is, after examining
all of those series of tests they made,
-
they found out that there was nothing - everything turned out negative.
-
The coming Saturday we
were going to have
-
the ‘Let Hearts Arise’
public event in the UK.
-
I had been privileged to receive
a link for me to join online,
-
so I was looking forward to it.
-
And in my heart I had faith.
-
I thought that if this case
had become impossible,
-
too hard for man to interpret,
I'm going to bring it before God.
-
I know what is impossible with man
is possible with God.
-
Saturday came and I joined.
I was expectant.
-
I knew this case has defied medical knowledge
and it will not defy the power of God.
-
So the prayers started and
we listened to the testimonies.
-
And then after the man of God came,
as he was praying for people,
-
I just started seeing the power of God
touching people.
-
People were manifesting.
-
Really God was moving powerfully
in the auditorium.
-
And as he was praying for people,
my prayer was just one.
-
I kept saying in my heart, 'Lord, as
You touch others, pass me not by.
-
As You visit others, please Lord,
pass me not by.
-
I am here. I know distance is not a barrier to Your power. You can touch me.’
-
But you know, people of God,
what I realised is
-
that even before the service
came to a point
-
where the man of God came out to pray for
the viewers, who were connected online,
-
I realised that the pain had
disappeared on its own.
-
When Brother Chris came to
pray for the viewers,
-
and he said that people
should touch the parts
-
where they had pain or discomfort,
at that moment there was very mild pain
-
and I touched and I think that
sealed the whole healing for me.
-
And after that, I felt fine.
That night, I slept well.
-
The next day I could
do things I could not do.
-
I could bend.
I could turn around.
-
On Monday, I returned back to work
and I was fine.
-
I was fully restored. Glory be to God.
Now I am completely free!
-
As you can see,
I couldn't move like this.
-
I couldn't do this because
-
the pain would be so sharp
and piercing all through my chest.
-
I couldn't stand.
-
I can now jump.
-
So I am completely free
to the glory of God!
-
Did you feel any pain while exercising?
-
No, not at all. I'm free to the glory of God.
-
Please, now go ahead and share your
wonderful word of advice to the viewers.
-
We need to depend on God,
and we need to realise
-
that what is impossible with man
is possible with God.
-
Whatever situation might come your way,
don't be discouraged.
-
Know that what is hard with you,
-
what is impossible with man,
it is possible with God.
-
God is interested in us keeping our gaze on Him, meaning trusting in Him.
-
Because as the Scripture says,
‘Without faith, we cannot please God.’
-
God is honoured when we depend
on Him, when we trust in Him.
-
So my advice is, no matter the situation,
no matter the circumstance,
-
there is nothing that is
impossible with God.
-
Let us depend on God.
Let us trust in Him.
-
And when we trust in Him,
He will come through for us.
-
He will touch us, He will touch our
situations and we will be made whole.
