Amazonian Wednesdays 🌴

Today’s powerful testimony is from May 2020, during the most intense times of the covid crisis.
*********************
The dire need continues. The pandemic has reached critical proportions here. At the smaller of our two local government hospitals, over 250 patients are lying on the ground for lack of bed space.
A third, private hospital had to close its doors last week because so many of the staff members had fallen ill with covid. Our struggling hospitals are so full of the sick and dying right now that they are turning people away. And, all over Peru, poor people are facing starvation, as they have been unable to work.
But in the midst of it all, I heard a beautiful story of hope and healing the other day:
“Fever had set in with a stranglehold. Pain wracked my entire body. My chest was closing up. I shook violently through the night. I felt like my life was ebbing away.”
With these words, Estelita described her battle with COVID-19. Estelita is one of my spiritual daughters, a graduate of our Missions School. Just a few weeks ago, she almost died. She was not in a place where she could receive any medical attention. Far away from her family, she felt painfully alone.
“At around 4:00 in the morning, from nowhere, worship began to rise up in my spirit. I lifted up my voice to God and began to sing. Melody after melody flowed from within me in sweet adoration. Music I had never even heard before was coming out of my mouth. I felt like it wasn’t even me singing; it was the Holy Spirit.”
In her aloneness, in this harrowing fight for her very life, Estelita had reached out for her heavenly Daddy. His presence powerfully filled the room. After about an hour of intimate, exalting worship, He moved her into the next stage of spiritual combat.
“Then, prayers of warfare started to flow out of me. I was rebuking the sickness in every part of my body. I was taking authority over the enemy. I was warring with Heaven.”
Heaven was backing her up. A little while later, dramatic victory manifested.
“Suddenly, I felt something leave my body. Immediately, the fever was gone. The pain was gone. Not one symptom remained. Immense peace and joy washed over my whole being. I was completely healed!”
There was no gradual recuperation process for Estelita. It was instant. After that encounter with God, not once trace of COVID ever returned. She had only been sick for two days. Absolutely all of her usual energy came back to her with that one divine “suddenly.” Not only that, but a bad chronic cough that had plagued her for months was also abruptly, entirely gone!
We serve a God who is SO MUCH mightier than the coronavirus!
It was quite disturbing how people faced starvation if neighbourhood is rich enough to feed those people in need . It needed community efforts to eradicate starvation. Yes I believe in prayers, they work like the miracle.

So very true, my friend. As a result, we needed God’s intervention badly here in Peru. And He answered our prayers again and again! Not one person from our church died. We are so grateful

YESYESYES!!! What a great testimony! I wish more people could have read and heard testimonies like this one in the past three years. It’s heartbreaking to see the level of sickness and fear the enemy has been able to foist on the masses – even God’s people. We need to break free, and as Estelita experienced, it starts with worship. ❤

What an incredible testimony. This example shows absolutely that our God is BIGGER far than we can ever comprehend. In times of dire need we must as beloved children reach out. Healing will come either to comfort us on our journey into eternity or to fulfill His Purpose for us on the EARTH. TRUST HIM! LOVE HIM! FOLLOW HIM!
