I first became familiar with Petra church in 1998, where I was looking for a church that can make me grow spiritually. I've heard that the church Petra was good but I do not know where that church. Finally one day in 1998, along with 2 friends, I attended church services Petra, who was at the House of BRI. Praise the Lord until now I worship and serve God in the Church of Petra.
Each end of the year I always write a letter of request to the Lord and each end of next year I always check where the request was granted and the Lord God who has not been granted. Through this way I always give thanks because I saw God's goodness to me. One of my request is I want to own their own homes because the house I live with my parents is a rented house. While we do not have to pay money because the host contract would not take our money for the building we lived in our own land, while the host belongs to, so until now we still occupy the house. Finally in 2007, God answered my prayers when my employer to give a home to me cicil no down payment and mortgage interest rates so that I can pay it by cutting my salary every month. I believe the house that God has given me will be mine although I still have payments.
In 2005 I became an intercessor before where I've longed to be an intercessor in the manse, but I do not know how. Finally in 2005, I was invited by friends to pray at the manse, and I'm very excited. When I became a faithful intercessor, God heals diseases Burket (armpit), which always makes me sweat too much and not confident. Although I already went to the doctor and sinse (doctor of traditional chinese) but still not cured. Especially if you're under stress, the sweat that I spend more and more and this made me very embarrassed when at work, during service, and when gathered with friends, but I still faithfully serving the Lord. See the devotion to serve God and always pray, then I realized God without Burket cure me completely. Praise the Lord!
My face is very sensitive and frequent breakouts, on my face until October 2009 is destroyed by large acne in large numbers and festering, and even my face became swollen and no longer symmetrical, but I already went to the doctor and the doctor was puzzled to see acne on my face that does not go away. This makes me ashamed and do not serve even had not gone to pray at the manse of shame. At the time I did not serve, I have eagerly desired to return serve, so I prayed and fasted for a week to cure pimple but God does not heal well even I cried out to God because I am very anxious to serve the Lord and have not recovered well although I've been trying to the doctor. Finally, in late October 2009, the Lord reminded me to go back to the doctor first. Praise God, thanks to divine intervention a day after my last doctor's drug use is directly puliha my face again.
In this acne problem I learned that when we are in trouble we should not run or leave the service, instead we should be more seriously again. When God is not our time, who wants you now have fully recovered, but we must be faithful waiting for God and I am thankful in this matter I have never blamed the Lord at all. I hope this testimony can bless us all. Amen!
