Testimony:
Mark 4.
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
I bless the Lord for His blessings in my life.
Recently, early one Friday morning, I received a phone call from Africa to tell me that my mother had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed.
At that time, in the church, we had been taught from Mark 4. 35 -41, to stop fearing situations, because Jesus is in our boat.
Previously, when I received this kind of news, I was panicked and full of fear. But, with the teaching in me, knowing that Jesus is in my boat, that morning I didn’t panic.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of the teaching. And I held on, saying, “God, You’re in control, Lord, You’re in my boat…”
My family on the spot, showing it to me on video, told me not to panic, but I told them I wasn’t afraid, because God is with her.
I asked them to call the doctor to give her some care.
Then I informed the pastor and we prayed.
A few days later, I phoned and asked those who were close to her to put her on the phone. Because although she could no longer speak because of the stroke, she could still hear.
When she put the phone to her ears, I started praying, declaring the word of God. And as I prayed, I myself received strength and continued to make declarations: “Even if the stroke paralyzes people you, you won’t remain paralyzed in Jesus’ name…”
Whenever the enemy sent me negative thoughts, thoughts of discouragement, the Lord reminded me of His Word. I was thus able to reject the thoughts of the enemy and stand on the Rock.
Shortly afterwards, I received a video showing me where my mom, who couldn’t move, started to move, and could even stand.
And now she’s walking again by God’s grace. What’s more, my mother, who had lost the ability to speak, has regained it, as she can now say a few sentences.
I bless the Lord for His wonders. His love is great! He is extremely powerful.
God has glorified Himself again! All glory to Him for eternity.
