Just a testimony...

Just got back from my second charismatic retreat in three weeks.

It's not like if we go for a lot of such events, we become holier. What it does for me is that my faith gets enriched and strengthened, and I get this knowledge that God is right there within me and in my life, and it becomes easier for me to turn to him for help, for solace, for answers. The channel of communication with Him, which was previously clogged with all kinds of rubbish, clears up and a relationship is renewed.

"So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13.

I have not really slept very much, but am not that tired. At least not too tired to say that I ...

- am more assured of my abilities to serve in this area of ministry
- am very moved at the way the Spirit transforms people and touches them
- shared in the reconciliation of two very good friends of mine
- realised that I might have been healed of a previously very troubling ailment
- know that the influences of the evil one will always be present, but I will just acknowledge them and set them aside
- can be strong in my weakness

To all my dear friends, thank you...for just being who you are.
To God, your love is unfathomable, and you have given us an indomitable promise of faith.
