As I believed; So it was done to me

For seven years after my marriage I was issue-less. Great was my sorrow. I heard of the Divine Retreat Centre. So I went there, with great faith that Jesus would surely bless me. It was 7th October '93. On Friday, during the retreat, while we were all shouting our praise and thanks to the Lord, I felt a current passing into my womb. The following week I went again for the retreat, now with my husband. At that time I learnt something. I prayed not just for myself but for others too. I experienced the power of Holy Spirit descending on me.

I was soon expecting a child; but due to my carelessness I suffered a miscarriage. I did not loose my trust in the Lord. I went again to another retreat at the Divine Retreat Centre in October '94. God had mercy on me. He blessed me and on 11th October '95, he gave us a lovely baby girl. Immense was my joy and boundless my gratitude to the Lord. I firmly believe it is only the Lord and his great love for me that made this possible. It is not just me who believes the Lord has done marvels for me, but my neighbors, too, both Christians and non-Christians are beginning to know and love Jesus.

Praise the Lord !. May His name be spread far and wide till all the earth proclaim him the one true God !. Blessed are those who believe. I believed in the Lord Jesus and I was healed !.
