I didn't know whether to share this, but I thought after the recent posts it would be encouraging. In 2015, Steph (my wife) and I had recently moved to a mining town in Yorkshire, England to help pioneer a church plant. I had been looking up online study courses a couple of years before and had seen CWG Ministries but had then forgotten about it.
How God got me into the Hearing God's Voice training
One Thursday, Steph and I went to an Andrew Wommack, healing day seminar and were staying in a hotel the Wednesday night. I worked night shifts at the time and couldn't sleep at all. Unlike home where I could just go downstairs, there was only one room, and I was disturbing Steph. I decided to drive to a motorway service station and spent the night praying, especially about intimacy with God. I heard very clearly in my spirit, "Do the Hearing God's voice course you looked up two years ago." It was a blessing as I wasn't used to hearing God so definitively in that way.
Having not slept for 36+ hours I struggled to engage with the seminar, and we decided to leave early. It seemed like a wasted journey except that it was the enforced night of prayer that brought me to communion with God. Steph and I soaked it up, we were overwhelmed at being able to tune into God's voice after years of longing and desire.
How God healed a frozen shoulder
Steph had a frozen shoulder. Once while she was out for physiotherapy, I began dialoguing with the Lord and felt a clear impression to tune to Sid Roth's, "It's Supernatural Show". As I came to the show, I received a similar impression to scroll through the earlier episodes. At a certain point when there was an image of a young red-haired woman, I felt that the Lord wanted me to stop there; it was a lady called Alice Creswell whom I'd never heard of before. I watched the show and found out that she had ministry training for healing in Chester in the UK. I was excited. When Steph came home, I asked her to watch it, and while watching the show her frozen shoulder was miraculously healed, totally healed.
A healing ministry begins, ends, and begins again.
We booked the very next workshop with Alice, whom we found to be such a down-to-earth woman of God. On returning home we began to practice and after an initial failure began to see healing upon healing, some dramatic healings of serious conditions.
At work, the men would come to be prayed for injuries (it was a physical job) as their first port of call. My manager said once, "I don't know why we pay for a physio for the workers anymore." We continued in this way with the Lord being amazing (as He is), until in late 2017 I collapsed at work, and then kept collapsing regularly. It was diagnosed as seizures, and they had come from nowhere and were incredibly frequent; I got made medically redundant.
In late 2018 I had a severe seizure in the early hours, Steph thought it was the end of me. I stayed up praying and thanking Jesus for keeping me through the seizures and began journaling. The Lord is so good. I felt that He had said that He had seen enough of me suffering seizures and that would be the last one. The impression was incredibly strong, so against my normal way of operating I threw my lamotrigine medication away, and I have never had another seizure.
That night as I journaled, I also felt that the Lord said that there was a yet unknown underlying condition and that He would not deal with that in the same way that He had the seizures. With the seizures gone other symptoms became noticeable and after a prolonged period, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease. Without God's voice in journalling, it would have taken a long time for me to recognize I needed medical testing, so praise the Lord.
Multiple Sclerosis
The progressive nature of the disease meant that my daily functioning was decreasing dramatically but I had joy and total peace because of God's voice in the midst of it, even when in a wheelchair for several periods of time. There was/is no real medication to help with primary progressive m/s but as I journaled the Lord continually encouraged me that there was another way to find restoration. The voice of God has been my rock through it all, I never had a moment of anxiety or depression because of my encounters with Jesus that I had learned through the "Hearing God's Voice" course. Thank You, Jesus, thank you, Mark, you have no idea how much difference your course has made in my life!!!
As I followed the voice of God in journalling, I was led step by step into alternative health and diet methods as I researched at the Lord's direction (I had no idea that there was a health course that Mark had done). Little by little the Lord led me to people who helped me to piece together what became an alkaline diet with supplementation, especially high doses of vitamin D and K2. As the diet progressed my health began to change fairly rapidly.
Now I have a couple of periods of fatigue during the day but am totally wheelchair/walker-free, praise God. Not only could I not have gone through the process with such constant peace and joy but also without learning the keys to hearing God's voice, I actually wouldn't have found the diet/lifestyle-based approach to overcoming M/S, God is SO good!!
A refining process while imprisoned by poor health
I felt like Joseph for a while in prison but have been blessed by the presence of God every moment. As my ability to function decreased, all the ministry work I had done before stopped. I was out of action in terms of any kingdom work for four years, but it was a time of just connecting with and growing in God, even stepping out of my comfort zone to learn from some of the church fathers of the Orthodox church.
For two years as my health has been improving, the Lord has enabled me to begin serving Him publicly again, to do Collective Worship in schools where nearly all of the children are from a non-Christian background. I also preach in some local churches and am active in evangelism again. In all, it was a refining process where the Lord was able to dig into the deepest motives of why I did what I did and correct them through journaling.
Reflections on healing
I never asked the Lord why He didn't just heal the M/S as He had the seizures it caused but a few years into the journey He told me in journalling that He had wanted to use me to encourage others suffering sickness, how with Him we can go through anything with joy and peace, and also to lead me to a way of overcoming M/S in a way that could be used to help others.
All of the blessings, the guidance, the peace, the comfort, the victory while coming from the Lord and Savior were accessed because of that one night in a motorway service station and being directed to the "Hearing God's Voice" course.
I like to stay under the radar and operate quietly in God these days. But something that Kemi's journal entry stirred up in me is that I haven't prayed for healing for anyone since I became ill, it kind of felt hypocritical, and even though both Steph and I have experienced healing, and seen others healed through prayer with them, I have lost confidence. Now I'm thinking that maybe that's something I need to work through with the Lord, and it seems that having just started the "Counselled by God" course, the timing may be perfect. Thank you Mark and CWG, you have no idea how much God has used you to bless one person and all those that he shares life with!!
