Dear friends, Reading the mail sent by Jason, brought back a few memories of the time when i was in mangalore, studying for nursing, while staying in a hostel.
We had a wonderful cell group, where we used to gather everyday for some personal sharings, but mainly for intercessory prayer. Each time we knew, someone was in need, or any of their family members was in need, we used to sit before the Lord, pleading for his intervention. We had made a daily habit of this and thought nohing much about it; but one thing was certain, whether there was a test or a exam or any other difficulty we never failed to gather and interceed. This went on wonderfully for about three and a half years, and we never failed to see the results. Each time we prayed for someone, we also saw our prayers being answered; and it was a encouragement for us to go on....... But.. that is when satan entered on the scene, very soon we were no longer students, but interns, who worked in all shift dutys, and we slowly found it difficult to gather, we found so many excuses for which we could not gather, we managed to drag on for some time, but very soon our cell intercessory group, for which new members were being added daily, suddenly came to a halt. we stopped gathering altogether. Then came a day when one of our group members, went to attend a retreat. During the counselling section, as the counsellor was laying hands and praying for her, suddenly he seemed disturbed and asked this girl, "friend why did your intercessory group stop? Why are your eyes blinded< can you not see that God was well pleased with your group and was working wonders among you? why then did you stop?" Well!this was it; my friend just burst into tears on hearing this, and came back and shared the experence with us, leaving us all stunned and ashamed of ourselves, It was then we made a commitment to start all over again. Even when we had shift dutys and all were not availabe, still the group continued...... and continued till we finally left the hostel love, anita, kuwait Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
