Recovery from a missionary working in Uganda
Dear Friends, Brothers and Sisters,
I greet you in the Name of Jesus Christ and I would like to thank the Ministry for asking me to prepare a testimony for the DVD prepared. I am
honored and I pray that the Holy Spirit guides me to write down our Father's words. Dear Camilla, I thank you for taking the initiative to read it on my behalf. I pray that our Father will bless us and open ways that we meet one day physically and visit together this beautiful Ministry of Him and share His blessings and ways together.
My early life was not different that anybody else's, growing up within happy moments and sad moments, believing in my two hands and struggling to find peace. However, I was always blessed with achievements that by that time I believed that they were my own.
But our good Lord had plans and as always He tries His best to guide us to His salvation. So, he took me out from Greece and land me in Africa, a place that I made home. And then, when all had settled down, He really made His existence obvious to me, no way to run away!! There was that believer that put the seed in my heart and good brothers and sisters that they water that seed, vessels all of them of our Heavenly Father, really believing that people can meet Him and have faith in Him. That's how, ten years ago, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and my
Savior and I became a new creature. Since then, I live my life knowing that all achievements were not mine but His and that I live under His mercy and His grace. Each small thing is precious to me because I know that it comes from Him.
He has made and continues making amazing miracles in my life and I witness everyday all miracles He does to all His children and
traveling around the world I see all the beautiful creation of His, something that always making me crying. So, much beauty around us and we are so blind to see it and appreciate it. For Him there are no big issues or small issues, He treats all of them at the same way and at His own time. As we grow in our Christian life we learn everyday His goodness, His time, His wisdom. We become more receiving, more patient, wiser and all based in one unique phrase in the bible,
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Mathew 6.33
When we really believe and confess that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and seek first the kingdom and righteousness of God, there is no other way than come closer and closer to Him, receiving His wisdom, His knowledge, His love, answer our million of questions, progressing and succeeding in all fields of our spiritual, emotional and physical life.
I would like not to enter to what God has provide me during all the years of my life, especially since I believed in Him, I know that you have heard a lot of testimonies of healing, financial prosperity, success etc, etc.
I would prefer to mention only one miracle He did for me, concerning my physical life as I know that you probably go through the same issue For reasons not really known (only speculations) at the age of 10 I started pulling my hair, a situation that went on for 24 years. A lot of doctors and therapist deal with me but with no results.
And the years passed by, my hair become week and finally I became partially bold. I had reached to the point that I was not really bothering anymore about this issue. Probably I had not
realized that it was something that was coming from inside me.
But God knew. One day, back in August 1996, still a baby Christian, I just prayed to
Him
-
I suppose that He put the words in my mouth, as I was not really bothering about this issue, as I said above
-
to heal me from this disorder. I thanked Him that He
had already done it and I even forgot the whole thing. Two months later, one day, as I was sitting around, I just thought and
realized that long time now I had never touched my hair! And I never did since then.
I was astonished! He had heard my prayer and acted immediately. I realized that He had appreciated also the fact that I have just trusted Him and I forgot the whole thing, knowing that He would deal with it and my pushing would not help to anything!
My hair is still not all of them in place. The doctors had said that I suffer from Alopecia sis, where the roots of hair are not existing anymore due to the continue pulling. They were wrong. During the years a part of my hair started growing again, are still few and week but... who cares!
The point is not the appearance, the point is that God heals our spirits; our hearts and He teach us to forgive others and forgive ourselves. People suffering from trichotilomania, usually is a disorder from inside, from our hearts and guilt. We feel guilt for something we felt, saw, or happened in the past. We do not forgive the ones that hurt us or ourselves in case we did something considered wrong.
But our Father sent His only begotten Son, to be sacrificed for our own sake, to take away sins, un-forgiveness, sicknesses and He gave the best example on the Cross when He said:
If you allow me to leave a message before I close, I would say to all humanity, JUST BELIEVE and pray, pray, pray, with expectation but not with pushing. We push when we doubt, remember that! All things based on His word, are possible through Jesus Christ. He knows the way to do it and when to do it. Just believe Him and trust Him not matter what and under any circumstances.
Find your freedom once and for good.
YES, I am blessed in all and through this short testimony (because if I have to mention all His miracle, I need pages and pages and pages, as John said) I pray that you become so much blessed and a good servant to our Heavenly Father.
AMEN
