I was the only one in cell that attended for last night’s Healing Encounter. Rev. Dr. Bernard Blessing delivered a powerful message as usual and I was amazingly touched by the word. Before he started his sermon he made us repeat the word John 6:16 until it got stuck to our thick skull. He is such a joker!
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 18A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified. 20But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." 21Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading. (John 6:16 -21)
John 6:16-21 was his message. Since you guys did not come I shall try to share with you the powerful message that was preached. First of all, he told us that we must always listen to a message in church attentively and not let our thoughts drift away because that is how the devil tempt us and prevent us from listening to His word and receive it. Meaning, no sleeping during sermons, smsing, thinking about boys/girls, going for toilet breaks five times in a row and etc. I’m not kidding!
The entire verse demonstrated our life problems, whether it may be our health, family, work and etc. While Jesus went up to the mountain and pray, his disciples left him for a cruise. The disciples are just like us when are so comfortable and carefree with our lives that we forgot about Jesus.
Rev. Dr. Bernard Blessing told us that we must not be too comfortable with our lives and neglect Jesus alone to pray. He encouraged us to join Him in prayer whether or not we are having problems. On and off he reminded us that the devil would always be there to tempt us with negativity while we are busy praying.
After his powerful message was shared, he prayed for healing and deliverance for the congregation to rebuke the works of the devil in our lives. He even made us pray non-stop to claim the victory for Christ. When he ended the service, he highlighted to us that we must never be in a hurry to go home after service. We must always stay on to the very end to receive the prayer of blessing from the pastor. He said that it was also the most important part of the service and it will make a huge difference in our lives.
If possible come tonight because according to Rev. Dr. Bernard Blessing it is going to be much better than yesterday. See you in church!
