Monday 5 June

Today our two-day campaign for pastors began. First a number of pastors took turns leading songs while the hall sang along. Then Marien was given the floor; he shared a prophecy for the hall and gave teaching. Among other things he said that circumstances do not rule over us, but that children of the King reign over circumstances.

Circumstances become opportunities to grow. Circumstances do not always change, but how you deal with them does. Without a battle you cannot be more than a conqueror!

After this we handed out slips of paper and pencils, and they wrote down whom they still needed to forgive and whom they themselves had hurt. More questions followed, through which they began clearing the clutter out of their lives.

Benjamin taught about healing. Then he had two women come forward. One woman's right leg was shorter than the other. After prayer her leg grew out and her back pain was gone. The other woman's knee pain was gone after prayer. After this we had people lay hands on themselves if they were ill, to show that it is not we who heal but God who does it through us. Then several people came forward who had received healing.

In the evening we had dinner at a woman's home and were able to share testimonies. That night Arne, Benjamin and Lydia slept on the roof of the house where we were staying. Around 6 o'clock we woke up and there was a very strong wind. Arne saw that it had rained all around the house, but the house where we slept had stayed dry. We have often prayed for a dome of protection around us, and tonight God showed it physically.
