with the Directors -Ray and Anne at the HRm
It is a very comfy and most homey place to enter into. There's soft worship music being played in the background and at the reception you are greeted by a very friendly person who gives you a form to fill up and you will sit at the waiting room on nice settees or arm chairs. There are some reading materials laid on the table :-bibles, some files with testimonies, pamphlets on healing and also 'communion is available' for anyone who wants to partake of it while waiting.
Looking up , your eyes will catch sight of signs encouraging you to be silent and to wait upon God as healing can start right there at the waiting area. Many have commented that upon entering the waiting area, they can feel the Presence of God and being still and silent is not a problem bec the Peace will descend upon those who come seeking.. that's why those who come for prayers are called seekers over here... :o)
After a short while, you will be ushered into the ministry room where a team of 2 or 3 enthusiastic people will greet you. You are then invited to take a seat on a comfy arm chair. The leader will look you in the eye and with a smile ask you warmly and most casually a very important question ie " now what would you like Jesus to do for you today?" This was my experience when I first step-in to the Newcastle Healing Rooms as a patient bec I had an allergy from some sun-block I applied when I first came here... 1st hand experience and Wow!!! :o)
Since then, this wonderful place has become familiar and dear to me bec I have the greatest opportunity to join in as a team member..most wonderful experience. I think I had email some back home in KL saying 'PTL! We have the same Holy Spirit here in Newcastle, Australia too...'
Though operating under a smaller and less busy tempo, I have since witnessed how arms and feet being literally lengthened and grown into the same size , sickness gone, eye readjusted and many more, faces lit up and smiles brightened as patients-( oh, here they are called 'seekers'- nicer word too...) but most of all have heard many 'seekers' saying that they felt loved whenever they come for prayers at the Healing Rooms.. so important and I think this is the essence of the Healing Rooms- being a 'safe place' for everyone to come and leave feeling loved bec God is love...!!
Another nice place to be in is of course the team room where we gather and soak... over here, team members take turns doing the anointing. We soak and share anything which the Lord may reveal, we give thanks and take communion together. This is a very precious time bec each and everyone get a personal 'booster' , I mean a personal word and is encouraged before being released fully charged for ministry in the individual rooms. What a way to go because it is really refreshing to hear different team members speaking over lives- and PTL every pair that is randomly called upon to do the anointing have special words given specifically for every one every session.. how amazing ! and talking about the whole team moving and serving under the anointing of the Holy Spirit!! Totally awesome... that is the norm btw... every team member is allowed to have a go...yes, Lord!
After ministry, team members re-gather and have a de-briefing session- sharing the cases and giving thanks for what God has done for each seeker who has walked in before being dismissed. I really enjoy these de-briefing sessions tho short bec often times, we marvel at what God does in our room and also the other rooms... building up faith and also learning new things here and there...
HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD... what a privilege and honour to be a small part in the Body and be so blessed... I am enriched and surely enjoyed every moment and sharing the joy and experience of seeing God touch lives... yes Lord more of YOU...Praise Adonai!!
my farewell at the Starfish with Anne, Ray, Sharon and Margaret (fr left to right- these are my OZ family- thank God for their love, kindness and prayers... :o)
