AS I BELIEVED
SO IT WAS DONE
TO ME
For seven years after
my marriage I was issueless. Great was my sorrow! I heard of the Divine
Retreat Centre. So I went, with great faith that Jesus would surely bless
me. It was 7th October '93. On Friday, during the retreat, while we were
all shouting our praise and thanks to the Lord, I felt a current pass into
my womb. The following week I went again for the retreat, now with my husband.
At that time I learnt something. I prayed not just for myself but for others
too. I experienced the power of the Holy Spirit descending on me. I was
soon expecting a child but due to my carelessness I suffered a miscarriage.
I didn't lose my trust
in the Lord. I went again to attend another retreat in October '94. God
had mercy on me. He blessed me and on 11th October '95, he gave us a lovely
baby girl. Immense was my joy and boundless my gratitude to the Lord. I
firmly believe it is only the Lord and his great love for me that made
this possible. It is not just I that believe the Lord has done marvels
for me but my neighbours, too, both Christians and non-Christians, are
beginning to know and love Jesus.
Praise the Lord! May
His name be spread far and wide till all the earth proclaim him the one
true God! Blessed are those who believe. I believed in the Lord Jesus and
I was healed!
