God's Goodness, remember


First off, Happy Rosh Hashanah (16th September 2012), the Jewish new year. Happy Jew Year! 

As we head into the new year, take a minute to remember all the Good that has come into your life just in the last year. Among you, i know off one getting a promotion, another a pay rise with a change of job, another a new job, a new baby, a miracle cure, a new hdb/flat/house, son getting a scholarship...etc etc etc... you know who you are! :)

What a wonderful year it had been with so many testimonies! Truly miracles and goodness follow all of you folks wherever you are!

I love testimonies. It reminds me how real God is in my life. And whenever I face new challenges, I remember His goodness towards me. He is able to do it before and He will do it again in the future. And so here, I'm copying a past testimony I received years ago. And to all new and would be mothers, Jesus love you!

This is testimony from a friend. As she choose to remain anoynmous, we will call her Angelina. (Because Angelina Jolie is going to be SALT). I told her to share with us what God is doing in her life so that we can all be encouraged!


**************
Amen! I am going to add on to how great God’s love for us is!

I am currently 5 months pregnant. I have hypertension since young, but it has not affected myhealth since and neither have I prayed for healing until now when I am pregnant. I feared for thesafety of my baby. The doctors I have consulted are worried as this is considered a high-riskpregnancy, which added on to my worry and stress level as I couldn’t enjoy the pregnancy asmuch as I want to.

It was then that I shared with Li Ping about my condition and requested for her to pray for meand baby. Eric and Li Ping shared the promises of the Gospel to me as they felt prompted byGod to convey this message to me. It’s not that I am ignorant about the Gospel, but I guess I didnot know how to exercise my priviledge as God’s child.

Li Ping wrote an e-mail to me explaining how the Gospel worked. When Jesus died, there wasalready healing! So then why is my blood pressure still not showing a normal reading? I realisedthat I have been praying prayers of “Please heal my condition” rather than claiming the healingthat has already been granted and approved! Now my prayers are “I know and believe I have anormal bp reading because Jesus has redeemed my heart and given his perfect one to me!”. Itis a step of confidence in the Lord’s promises.

The next time I went for a doctor’s checkup, I took Li Ping’s advice and told God a reading Iwant to see. However, the first 2 readings were high, and my heart sank. The nurse took a 3rdreading and it was the reading that I had asked for. Somehow that did not delight me. I felt thatif my bp reading is normal, it should not take 3 readings to show. In my next visit, I told God I am frustrated, that while it is tough to stand confident in His promises, I needed to see results that this is happening. I wanted Him to SHOW ME the actual reading that I had asked for in the first reading.

In one of the visits to the doctor again, the nurse took my reading and it was normal the first time, although my heart was racing with anxiety! God truly loves me and my baby and has healed me, I trust Him that He will continue to show me the “good” readings from now on. It took me a lot to battle against the negative thoughts of my mind to trust Him, but I know that His promises are real and are worth relying on!

Angelina, sent me this a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday she told me that when she checked her BP yesterday morning it showed normal the first time. And it was one of the best reading she ever had.
