Our Internet connection at home is still off line.
At one of the cities we were sent to, we arrived by a journey that involved plane and car, and within the first week I was amazed at the amount of sickness within the community. The locals did not seem to notice the gravity of their situation, as they had grown into it, and only saw it as the normal way of life. Here the Lord taught me a great many lessons and took me on a discovery tour that was amazing. I learnt and taught about ‘Faith’, in ways that opened my eyes to the whole world around me, and the varied responses of people. Assisting in my own journey, were believers from other fellowships of faith, whom God had orchestrated the merging of our paths. Also the previous few years were of vital importance, as I arrived knowing exactly who I was. It was also during this time that my ‘Prophetic’ ministry was at the most importance. The awareness of actual situations, were acutely heightened to degrees that I had not experienced previously.
A friend from another fellowship, was suffering with breathing difficulties, and was being treated for asthma, until being diagnosed with cancer in his air way. For some of the initial time his Pastor was being changed, and I was looking after him until the new Pastor arrived. There was great progress to full health and also opportunities that the Lord presented to him for ministry in hospital, and out side of hospital. Then the new Pastor arrived, and I stepped back to allow the ministry of the new Pastor to develop. After a year the health of my friend began to deteriorate, and finally he was hospitalised.
It was a Thursday, and I remember the events clearly. I was in the shower, and the Lord called me to visit my friend in Hospital, I then went to visit the Pastor at his manse. It was clear to me that the Pastor was in deep strife with his ministry, and his personal holiness. I read from Psalm 41, and the Pastor said that was interesting. I knew exactly what it meant, the Lord wanted to heal but the life of the Pastor was getting in the way as he was inviting other agents into their fellowship that were contrary to the Lord’s will and plan for that fellowship. My friend was promoted to his glorious reward in eternity, and sadly, the Pastor disgraced himself and his office through inappropriate moral choices.

“If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”
