The Holy Spirit WORKS As He WILLS!

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    Through that journey of my healing,
  • 0:02 - 0:07
    I realised that I grew more in faith
    and I drew closer to God,
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    and my relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ actually improved.
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    Okay, our brother in Zambia - let us pray.
  • 0:21 - 0:27
    In the name of Jesus Christ!
  • 0:27 - 0:36
    Right now every damage to your muscles, to your bones - be restored in Jesus’ name!
  • 0:36 - 0:41
    Be restored in Jesus’ name.
  • 0:41 - 0:46
    Brother, can you just lift up your leg for me?
  • 0:46 - 0:53
    In the name of Jesus Christ,
    be healed right now.
  • 0:53 - 1:04
    Every pain - come out of him,
    in the name of Jesus Christ.
  • 1:04 - 1:05
    Thank You, Holy Spirit.
  • 1:05 - 1:09
    Brother, you are free to the glory of God.
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    You can check yourself right now.
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    I know you will not be able to
    remove the cast at this moment,
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    but you can know that
    God has touched you.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    Just check yourself and give thanks
    to God for your healing.
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    Thank You, Lord.
  • 1:25 - 1:31
    My name is Francis and
    I'm from Zambia, Africa.
  • 1:31 - 1:39
    Last year in March, I had a fracture of my fibula whilst I was playing football.
  • 1:39 - 1:49
    But the nature of the injury and things which happened that led to it were not natural.
  • 1:49 - 1:53
    So it was an issue where at my workplace,
  • 1:53 - 1:59
    I was in the position of acting
    head of department.
  • 1:59 - 2:05
    So with that opportunity, I brought in the aspect of having Scripture and prayers
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    at my place of work,
    which is a learning institution.
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    So on a Friday, we had prayers with students.
  • 2:12 - 2:17
    We praised the Lord, shared the Word of God, and I knew this was how it should be.
  • 2:17 - 2:26
    The following day, Saturday, I went to play social football with my friends, like I always did.
  • 2:26 - 2:31
    Before I went to play the football match,
    I received a text message
  • 2:31 - 2:37
    from one of the students who was in the prayer meeting that we had the previous day.
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    She had a dream where she saw
    I was under attack -
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    there was an imminent attack
    towards my life.
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    So on that fateful day, the
    same Saturday, my heart...
  • 2:48 - 2:53
    You know, the heart knows when something is wrong but I just brushed it off
  • 2:53 - 2:56
    and said, ‘Father, let Your will be done’
  • 2:56 - 2:59
    because I didn’t know how the
    attack was going to come.
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    I just thanked God for everything
    and went on to play football.
  • 3:02 - 3:13
    So the match started around 5pm. The ground was moist because it had just rained.
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    So on that fateful day, to cut a long story short, as I was playing,
  • 3:16 - 3:20
    I slid into a tackle trying to play a ball.
  • 3:20 - 3:24
    I didn't have contact with any player, neither did I hit anything hard.
  • 3:24 - 3:27
    But after just sliding into a simple tackle,
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    when I was on the ground,
    I could feel that my fibula broke.
  • 3:30 - 3:35
    So immediately there, most of my colleagues thought I was playing or pretending to just fall,
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    so I could maybe not
    participate in the game.
  • 3:37 - 3:43
    But there and then, I could feel my bone moving; I could feel excruciating pain.
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    And immediately that happened,
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    it reminded me of the text message
    I received that fateful day.
  • 3:49 - 3:54
    After that, I was rushed to the hospital
    and then they did an X-ray.
  • 3:54 - 3:59
    After doing the X-ray, that's how they found out that my fibula bone had actually fractured,
  • 3:59 - 4:03
    and the fracture was as
    if I was hit by something
  • 4:03 - 4:07
    that led to the bones completely detaching.
  • 4:07 - 4:11
    So, what was done was I was given a cast.
  • 4:11 - 4:18
    That cast I was given is the one actually shown in the video you saw.
  • 4:18 - 4:23
    And then I was, of course, put on painkillers and also some other medications.
  • 4:23 - 4:27
    But I was in excruciating pain
    and I was given crutches.
  • 4:27 - 4:32
    So that same day I contacted the God’s Heart TV Team and explained my whole situation.
  • 4:32 - 4:37
    And immediately I sent my message,
    the God’s Heart TV Team replied.
  • 4:37 - 4:44
    On that fateful day, of course, Brother Chris ministered the Word of God to us
  • 4:44 - 4:45
    before actually praying for us.
  • 4:45 - 4:48
    He said something which I've
    never forgotten to this day.
  • 4:48 - 4:53
    He said something important, and
    I believe he was led by the Holy Spirit,
  • 4:53 - 4:56
    on what would transpire, especially regarding my situation.
  • 4:56 - 5:00
    So in most cases, when
    I watch God’s Heart TV,
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    I would see people being prayed for and you would see immediate healing.
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    People would feel something.
  • 5:05 - 5:08
    Others would feel electricity.
    For others, it would be heat.
  • 5:08 - 5:10
    They would feel many things.
  • 5:10 - 5:14
    But before Brother Chris prayed for any of us that day, he mentioned something.
  • 5:14 - 5:21
    He said, “When you are being prayed for, the Holy Spirit works as He wills.”
  • 5:21 - 5:26
    So what that means is that it's not necessarily that you have to feel something,
  • 5:26 - 5:29
    or you have to fall down, or you have to manifest or whatever the case,
  • 5:29 - 5:33
    because when we come for prayer,
    we come with a lot of expectations.
  • 5:33 - 5:35
    Maybe you will think that
    when they pray for you,
  • 5:35 - 5:38
    for you to know that you are healed,
    you have to feel some form of electricity.
  • 5:38 - 5:40
    You have to feel something.
  • 5:40 - 5:45
    Sometimes the Holy Spirit - you won’t even feel anything, but God will heal you.
  • 5:45 - 5:50
    So as Brother Chris administered prayer for me, when it was my turn for prayer,
  • 5:50 - 5:55
    one thing I remember I could feel was -
    I had peace of heart.
  • 5:55 - 5:56
    That was the first thing I had.
  • 5:56 - 5:58
    Of course, there were a lot of things
    that I was going through.
  • 5:58 - 6:00
    The fracture was just one of them.
  • 6:00 - 6:05
    But I had peace of heart and one thing that was prominent physically was
  • 6:05 - 6:08
    the pain which was in my leg subsided.
  • 6:08 - 6:12
    Other than that, I didn't feel any form of...
  • 6:12 - 6:15
    I didn't feel anything other
    than the pain subsiding
  • 6:15 - 6:21
    and the peace of heart which I received on that fateful day I was prayed for.
  • 6:21 - 6:23
    And I was able to get some
    strength in my leg
  • 6:23 - 6:27
    because, by then, I was in excruciating pain.
  • 6:27 - 6:32
    For me, the prayer and the whole experience was more than just the fracture,
  • 6:32 - 6:35
    because I believe I had
    a fracture in my faith.
  • 6:35 - 6:42
    So through the experience, my healing
    was quite special. I take it as special.
  • 6:42 - 6:46
    After Brother Chris prayed,
    something that he mentioned was
  • 6:46 - 6:51
    that any spiritual element
    that led to the fracture
  • 6:51 - 6:54
    and could have led to
    complications was removed.
  • 6:54 - 6:58
    So in my case, my healing
    took the ‘natural turn’ in that
  • 6:58 - 7:02
    I didn’t immediately receive
    bone attachment.
  • 7:02 - 7:07
    It took some time and through
    that journey of my healing,
  • 7:07 - 7:11
    I realised that I grew more in faith
    and I drew closer to God,
  • 7:11 - 7:15
    and my relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ actually improved.
  • 7:15 - 7:19
    Okay, so I'm sure people can
    see the two X-rays.
  • 7:19 - 7:23
    The one on the left is before prayer.
  • 7:23 - 7:30
    The one on the right is after prayer,
    which I took about two weeks ago.
  • 7:30 - 7:34
    So that is the one which now shows my healing at the moment.
  • 7:34 - 7:37
    And glory be to God - my bones are fused.
  • 7:37 - 7:43
    All-in-all, my fracture has been healed
    and God has healed my life.
  • 7:43 - 7:47
    So if you saw in the video,
    I couldn't stand on my own.
  • 7:47 - 7:49
    So standing was a problem.
  • 7:49 - 7:55
    But now, I’m able to stand on my
    two feet as people can see.
  • 7:55 - 8:00
    And, I can also balance. So this is the leg
    which was affected - the left leg.
  • 8:00 - 8:03
    You can see I can actually balance
    and have strength in my leg.
  • 8:03 - 8:11
    I can move freely, I can walk freely, I can jump and I can do so many physical activities
  • 8:11 - 8:15
    that I couldn’t do back then.
    No pain in the bone!
  • 8:15 - 8:20
    You can even see how my leg looks -
    some can’t even tell I had a fracture.
  • 8:20 - 8:23
    It has healed properly and
    there is no deformity on my leg.
  • 8:24 - 8:30
    I would like to just advise my
    fellow brothers and sisters -
  • 8:30 - 8:32
    as you are about to receive prayer,
  • 8:32 - 8:39
    one of the things to remember is that you cannot please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).
  • 8:39 - 8:43
    So I believe, in as much as we want to receive physical healing
  • 8:43 - 8:45
    or prayer for any type of problem we have,
  • 8:45 - 8:49
    we first need to believe that God
    is going to heal our problems.
  • 8:49 - 8:54
    And then when God is healing us,
    God wants salvation for us.
  • 8:54 - 8:58
    So He first has to build that
    relationship in us with Him
  • 8:58 - 9:01
    that will enable us to maintain the healing.
  • 9:01 - 9:05
    Because I can receive healing today,
    but if I don't maintain my relationship
  • 9:05 - 9:08
    with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
    I can lose that blessing.
  • 9:08 - 9:11
    I know others are praying for
    promotions, for employment -
  • 9:11 - 9:13
    there are so many things that
    people are praying for.
  • 9:13 - 9:17
    But the most important thing is - how are you going to maintain the blessing?
  • 9:17 - 9:21
    And in my case, God showed me patience and also perseverance,
  • 9:21 - 9:23
    and how to maintain my blessing.
  • 9:23 - 9:28
    And up to today, I'm thankful for the many gifts that God has shown in my life.
