I've been thinking about my resolutions for this year. Sure there are the usual - know and love God more, pray more, study harder, lose weight, be a good daughter, sister and friend etc. But just as I had a theme for last year, I've been wondering what my 2013 should be all about.
As I sat on the train back yesterday from KL Central, I got to spend some time with God. Train rides have always captivated me so, perhaps it is because I am moving even though I am still. I heard this in my spirit:
Everywhere my foot treads is my inheritance.
That is what my 2013 is going to be about. Claiming the promises of God over my life and claiming the promises in the Bible that we can do even greater things for Christ, that we can see the blind eyes open and the sick people healed. This year, I am going to have more faith than ever that everywhere I go, I carry Him, and because of that lives will be changed, people will be set free, and chains will be broken. It is no coincidence that I begin my clinicals this year too, because I refuse to walk around a hospital full of sick people defeated. I believe in my Father in Heaven's furious love, one that is willing to move for His people through His willing servants. This year, I will believe that my prayers carry more significance that I ever realized.
I have always been a firm believer though, that if you ask God for something long enough and patiently enough, He'll give it to you. As I ponder upon 2012, a year that I first thought carried so many unanswered prayers and unfulfilled promises, I see His hand upon me and the subtle favour that I had been living in all along.
One of my sisters had been struggling with a skin condition for years now, and it really bothered her. I had been praying and believing for a supernatural healing, that she would one day wake up and see she had been completely healed. I received prophetic promises for it from other people too. Yet, through the year, I got no such news. Then one day, as I was struggling through something, I prayed to receive something encouraging, and right that instant, I got a whatsapp image from her, a picture of her almost clear skin from the new medications she had been taking. I had mixed feelings then, because my promise didn't come to pass as I thought it would, although I was obviously happy for her. I got rebuked a few days later though. Haha, it's so Him. He said "If you don't believe in Me working through medicine, then why are you studying what you do?"
That's a pretty personal story for me that I debated sharing here for a while, but I remember God saying once "Tell your stories, cause they speak not of you but of Me."
And one more things about 2013, I'm not going to just live in the testimonies of yesterday anymore. I'm gonna start believing for fresh testimonies every day, that in time I will see miracles happen every where I go. And when that happens, I promise, I'll tell you my stories as often as I can. :)
"Every place on which the sole of your foot treads will be yours, from the wilderness and Lebanon,from the river, the River Euphrates and even to the Western Sea, shall be your territory."
