Heal the wounded hearts
Date: 22- March-2025 I went to a pet shop at Roxy Square to meet Carol and Ruth. Before I entered into the shop, I saw the word “Luke” in Uncle Thomas name. Out of curiosity, I asked him if his name is Luke. That’s when he started to tell me his parents heritage are Jews, he knew about the Torah, he knew about the bible because his helper attends a Catholic church. I told him yes, I heard of Torah, but it is not complete as there is a New Testament, and that Jesus is the Messiah, the resurrected God, who came to heal the sick and the brokenness and set the people free. He then told me that he was looked down by customers who patronize his pet shop but did not really buy anything and even threw sarcastic remarks at him. After talking for some time, Carol and I actually wanted to invite him to church but he mentioned he doesn’t want to burden other people in the church to help him up in church. Before we left, we prayed for him. I felt the Lord wanted to heal his wounded heart and reconfirmed again his name as Luke. So, I lead him in prayer to accept the Holy Spirit to come into his heart so that he will be illuminated in his mind to know that Jesus is the resurrected God, the same God today, 2000 yrs ago and the days to come. And He is a miracle working God. After I finished praying, Uncle Thomas cried. I believe that day, Holy Spirit is working in his heart. On the way back to church, Padma and I went to the female restroom above the NTUC at Katong V. I was looking for paper towel after washing my hands but could not find it. I was about to go off, an Indian lady standing next to me (who is wearing NTUC uniform) told me that it is hidden below the mirror. I thanked her and commented to her that she is beautiful and if she was a beauty pageant before. She smiled and said no. I asked her what is she working as at NTUC as I noticed she was wearing an apron, thinking she could be helping at the butcher counter. She replied she works at the vegetables side. I casually asked her if she is staying in the east side of Singapore. She answered she lives in Johor and daily commute in and out between Johor and Singapore and has to goes out of her house as early as 4am every day because she starts work as 8am. Before I left, I asked her if I could prayed for her and she agreed. I sensed that she has hurt in her heart and pray for God to heal her hurt and heal the relationship in her family. Padma was my translator and prayed in Tamil to her. She cried after we prayed for her. We told her where we are from, and if she is free on Sunday or Saturday, she can come to visit us.
Matters of the Heart
As JC, GT, and CL gathered in prayer, they received the words: KS Mall, a green flower stem with a white flower, heart issue, and St. John’s Ambulance. As they made their way toward KS Mall, JC noticed some plants along the path with green stems and white flowers, drawing GT and CL attention to this detail. Upon arriving at KS Mall, they struck up a conversation with a gentleman manning a booth at the flea market. However, after speaking with him, they sensed that he was not the treasure they were looking for. GT then suggested going up one floor. CL, recalling a previous visit with SK, wanted to take a moment to greet a stall owner they had spoken with before. During that earlier visit, CL and SK had given the lady a prophetic card that included the word “heart.” At the time, the lady mentioned she had no heart-related concerns, which left CL feeling somewhat discouraged, as none of the words in the card seemed to resonate with her. This time, GT—who had never met the lady before—began chatting with her. As they spoke, GT felt prompted to share the phrase “heart issue.” Once again, the lady insisted she had no physical or emotional heart issues. At that moment, CL remembered the prophetic card and reminded the lady about it. As the lady could not recall the card or its words, they were about to move on when JC, with sharp eyes, spotted the very card displayed in the stall’s showcase. As the conversation continued, the lady unexpectedly shared that over 20 years ago, she had experienced deep hurt from someone. She assured them that she had already forgiven the person. GT gently encouraged her into verbally professing and releasing forgiveness over the person. The lady willingly confessed her forgiveness, bringing closure to this long-past wound, as she joyfully declared that she wants to be set free. As they reflected on the encounter, they marveled at how the Holy Spirit had revealed the word “heart” twice—first through the prophetic card and again through the word to GT. It was no coincidence but rather a divine confirmation that God was tenderly pursuing this lady’s heart, bringing healing to a wound she had long carried. Truly, God is a loving and relentless pursuer of hearts, revealing His words in perfect timing to set His children free.
Sharing the father’s love
During our Christmas Carnival outreach, we encountered several individuals whom God led us to minister to. First, we met an elderly couple near the tent. Offering them cake sparked a conversation, and we learned the husband, David, had diabetes. As we prayed for him, his wife revealed he was blind in his right eye. We continued praying, and he began to see light. Encouraging him to renounce doubt and claim hope in Christ, we shared testimonies of healing, leaving them visibly touched. Next, we met Wills, an American volunteer using a walking stick due to past back surgery. Agnes and I prayed for his healing. Later, we spoke to Uncle Ricky, who was loitering while his grandsons attended youth service. He shared deep anguish over his strained relationship with his son. As we prayed for restoration, he broke down in tears, visibly touched by God. We invited him to church and shared contact details. Finally, we met Kalai, a Tamil service attendee, enjoying ice cream. She requested prayer for her daughter, Reni, a pre-believer. We prayed for her to experience God’s presence and come to faith. She was deeply moved, saying our prayers spoke directly to her heart’s desires.
Hello
Yantiar shared that while having lunch with her husband at a food court, she noticed a man who appeared to be in a dazed and down. She initiated a conversation with a simple hello. The man shared that he had recently begun kidney dialysis about six months ago and appreciated someone asking how he was doing. Yantiar shared her own experience of her healing from thyroid with him and discovered that he had attended church before. She shared with him that there is a Creator who desires our return to Him. Yantiar prayed blessings over the man and reminded him that when he receives healing, he should remember that it is Jesus who heals him. Yantiar learned from this encounter how crucial it is to listen to others and to uplift them through prayers and encouragement. She emphasized that, in moments of doubt about whether to share or not, one should simply take the initiative.
