“I’ve been suffering from Fibromyalgia for at least 25 years,” Alison said to the congregation this morning at Kings Church, Horsham. She told me “I first knew I had it as a teenager, it affects everything, my arms, shoulders, legs, muscles all over my body, constant pain. I basically can’t stay still, it means I have to keep moving, twitching. It means I can’t lead a normal life. But this morning, all the symptoms have gone. I’ve been totally healed.”

It was hard for her to hold back the tears during such a life-changing moment. (The condition literally means “muscle and connective tissue pain.”)

This lady was well known to the leaders of the church. One of whom told me, “I know this lady very well. This is real!”

As it happens, up until then, although we had prayed for many people to be healed, it seemed that little was happening.  But something seemed to change after Alison came to the microphone and reported her healing, and I then presented a sort of ‘basic Christianity’ message about the “Father heart of God.”

Afterwards there were 10 people who responded to the invitation to become Christ-followers for the first time.

This is the fourth time that I’ve spoken at the church. Andy Robinson, who leads Kings Church, Horsham told me that they had had 444 attend the meeting, which he said was about 100 more than usual.

Jos Wintermeyer, from the band Phatfish, did a great job leading worship. It’s a privilege to continue to partner with KCH. I also really enjoyed seeing friends Dave & Rosie Fellingham.
