I HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT JOY AGAIN…

God’s light shined through 51 years-old Meg—that was obvious the first moment I saw her. Also obvious was the malformation on the back of her neck at the collar area and the raised shoulder that appeared related to it. She had a disc problem. As to the lump, Meg wrote to me later and said, “I was told by a physio (physical therapist) it would only get worse…” Bruce, Meg’s husband of 30 years, and her friend prayed over her in the Bridge for Peace workshop. My heart was lifted up as I saw Meg’s malformation reduce and her shoulders come into better alignment. Her friend’s face radiated joy, eyes popping with excitement. Her friend hugged me, “Thank you, thank you for coming!” She squeezed me for emphasis! (Our thanks go to Jesus and to you, His friends who sent us!) In Meg’s words, “Jesus healed my neck pain and I can now turn my head fully to the left and right, which has not been possible since I woke up one morning with what turned out to be two prolapsed discs, one of which was pressing on a nerve. This injury happened in 2002. My body had other pains that are now gone as well.” The workshop was in the afternoon, but we had a service in the church that night. “You minister with me tonight, Meg.” I said. She hesitated saying she felt she had a lot of emotional things to deal with and while she would like to pray for people, and used to pray for people, she didn’t feel she could now. I replied, “You stand with me and we’ll pray together. It will be fine.” Meg’s love for God and compassion for people shone as she served that night in the power of the Holy Spirit. She wrote later, “Because of the things I learned about myself in therapy, I lost hope and I felt disqualified from ministry… Ministry for me was always fun, I don’t mean that in a trite way, doing things with God, serving Him was joyous beyond anything I have ever experienced in life. I have experienced that joy again now, thank you Lord.” Some transformations can be seen, others take place in the heart. Meg wrote, “I believe Jesus also did inner healing too, because the restfulness I experienced after payer was wonderful…this is when He brought me hope.” Meg and Bruce are studying Bridge for Peace Foundation for Healing and watching the DVD together. “We are looking forward to working our way through the book and learning and growing in God, thank you so much for making this resource available.” Thank You, Jesus for all You have done for us!
