God Is Great
Hey guys.
I'd just love to share a testimony with you.
I was away with my church last weekend, and the youth were asked to stand in the center and be prayed for if they wished. I stood, and received prayers, but after about twenty minutes of praying we (youth) were asked to turn and pray into the adults and I just really felt good in God so I stayed still.
Another twenty minutes or so later I'm still standing there, having not moved and feeling released. But when we were told to break up for lunch I couldn't move. My feet were just stuck to the floor, and by no power in me could I move them.
About half an hour passed of the church leaders praying into me, and still my feet were stuck. I asked two of my youth friends who'd stayed to pray over me to push me over and as I hit the ground my back and shoulders were stuck to the ground. AGAIN by no strength I had in me could I get up.
My friend tried to pull me up and I just couldn't be moved, one really strong guy eventually got me up, but my feet were stuck again.
Long story short, after over 2, nearly 3 hours I'm still stuck there, one foot now released and under my control, the other still pinned to the floor. By this point everyone knows I need to be moved, and my youth leader helps me up from the chair i'd been given and lifts my stuck leg forward so that i could walk. It just wouldn't bend the muscles were locked as they were.
Half way out of the room something felt different and I tried to move it, and with a lot of effort, A LOT OF EFFORT, some real pain and strength I could pick it up, and I got the foot to knew height and it was back.
It was just the weirdest experience, and since I just feel that God has enlightened me with the meaning that no matter how physically strong I am, I cannot escape him. That I will be locked in his love and that I must give up my problems to me, that I have spent too long being the pillar for others and that it is now time that I pass these things over to him instead.
God Strong - It has a new meaning now!
