Lay my hands on the sick. .

We had a neighbor who was a senior citizen already. He can't move well and can't even stand up. When i read the Holy Bible it was written there that to those who follow Jesus we should also lay our hands for the sick. So i thought of our neighbor named Disio but i don't have the courage to go to him. I asked someone to be with me to visit him but he refused. As days passed by i heared that our neighbor died. I repented so much because i wasn't able to pray and lay my hands to him. I was blaming myself just a little bit because of my complacency that he died without leading him to repentance and accept our Lord Jesus Christ. I think God is testing me about my fears so i just told myself that God is the one who holds his life and that it was really his time. When the Holy Spirit convicts my heart i always miss the chances that might happen. After that experienced, i started to think and search for many sick and old people near me. I visited them and i had few neighbors who were suffering from many sickness. The first thing i did was sharing to them the word of the Lord. They listen and then i let them repent of their sins and accept Jesus in their hearts and in their lives. They welcomed me so much and they were so glad that someone talked to them and visited them. They said that they were feeling better after praying and laying my hands. That they feel the power and the presence of God. They asked me why did i visit them and what religion do i belong now. I just answer to them that i don't have a religion but a relationship with Jesus and i am a Born Again Christian now. Everyone of us knows that is also God's command to visit the sick. When i am not yet converted to Christian i have done it already but only visiting without praying. There was a time that someone asked me to pray for him because he felt unwell. He is my relative named Alfredo from my father's side about 50+ of age. He has a high blood pressure and also heart enlargement. He is always going for a doctor for check up with her wife. He heared that i am doing that to many sick people. He said, "Ivie please pray for me. I believe in you and the God who you're serving to heal me." So i read him the word of God and i layed my hands again and prayed for him. After leading him to repentance and prayer he felt that there was really a power of God that made him felt so well. When i was doing this to the sick people i still humble down and know that i am not glorifying myself but the God who is behind that healing. I always share to them about Jesus that my voice already get hoarsed. Sometimes i am explaining too much for everyone but a time came that i stopped all of it. It was because i saw a message appeared in my phone, "My child, don't explain to all the people on what you are now because not all of them were happy for you. Not all of them really likes you behind what you did and behind their fake smile. Don't lay your hands for all the sick but just the convictions of your heart." I was confused but i still followed it.

When i was going to church i passed near the City hall and i saw a teen girl who got faint. I was just about to pass them but my heart says i need to help them. I just prayed for her for a short time and i fear because there were many people sourrounding us. I lead them also to a health center and when i leave they thanked me. When i ride on a jeepney i saw an old woman facing me. She look so weak and very pity about her situation with her arms. I asked her and his husband if it's okay for them if i will pray for her. They said it is fine for them but after what i did his husband asked me if i am a Christian and i said i am. He told me that what i did was good but based on the Holy Bible he said to me that a girl has no power. He told me that i don't have the right to make it because o am a woman. That i will only be a help for a man and not by myself alone. I just answered him, "Thank you, but i just want to pray for her because i already had experienced a conviction before but i wasn't able to do it. Then i blamed myself that the person died without praying and leading Him to Jesus. I just followed my heart now." He understands me then and thanked me. Then we left each other on the ride. When i arrived in our church i asked my pastor, "Pastor Ian is it really okay to lay my hands for the sick even though i am a girl?" Then he said that what i did was very fine and very okay. I also had a neighbor named Abeth and in my heart i am convicted to go to her again. She was mentally and spiritually sick because she's getting wild sometimes and go to the forest alone. I heared that she came home so i went to her and we talked. When i was inside their house i felt a strong power that made me felt weak. They had many idols there and their eyes seem so evil to look at. I am still brave and believing that i can do it with the Lord so i continued to talk to her more. I had known that she is always reading bible and it was true because she is had many familiar verses. She's a prayerful woman too and it was true because i have seen her leading her family to pray when they ate together and before taking her medicine. Many people called her crazy and a monster but i had known the truth behind it. She told me she's hearing a voice inside her head that leads her to talk to herself. She got many debts and anxieties too and when she read in the bible that Jesus had 40 days of fasting she also did the same. I told her, "We don't need to do that thing. You know some bible verses but not all of it. We also need a guide in our spiritual life and not only to ourselves." I believe there was an evil behind her. I lead and prayed to her for a long time and she was so thankful i was there. She said that she felt a great power and she asked me to stay a little longer late at night but i refuse.
