'Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us' Ephesians 3:20
Two weeks ago I returned from a trip to Rwanda and Uganda with friends Mike VanDromme and Richard Pedley. In all the years I've been travelling and preaching the Word of God I've never seen so many healing miracles. People were healed of all sorts of conditions - this lady in the photograph had such poor eyesight that she was always walking into walls and ditches. When she came forward her eyesight was instantly restored after hands were laid on her.
On return from my trip I was questioned as to why such things happen in Africa but not in the UK! I felt uneasy to be honest about the nature of the question. I mean, if God is God, surely he isn't limited to doing miracles in the Third World. Surely God is the same everywhere!
A couple of weeks before going away to Africa a lady in our local place of worship, Highway Church, Stratford, had been healed of a painful arthritic condition that made it hard just to get up. When she came forward for prayer she was 'slain in the Spirit' as God the Holy Spirit ministered to her. She got up healed from the condition and has been praising God since!
While sharing about the trip to Africa, our Pastor, Simon, encouraged me to pray for the sick and expect a breakthrough. The Lord touched a number of people. One younng man, about 11 years old, complained of a pain in his arm. After prayer it left instantly. He turned to his friend and said, 'This stuff really works'. Apparently Claire, who leads the childrens' work said that he came to her after the meeting and said, 'God is too much!'
A lady suffering from diabetes had been told that nothing could be done medically for her failing eyesight. When she came forward for prayer God healed her instantly and she was able to read the Bible freely, her hearing was also restored and she was healed from a problem with her knees. When she went for a hospital appointment during the week, the medical staff said, 'this is amazing! Your body is healing itself without any medication!'
The lad in Church got it right - 'God is too much'
