Here at HQ, we have received an encouraging update from Great Yarmouth Healing Rooms. The Lord is currently developing, equipping, and shaping them for the work in hand. The following scripture is a long-term word for Healing Rooms ministry and there are several themes here – the restoring of Jerusalem with precious stones, the freeing from oppression and attack, and the dealing with the weapons that have been formed against us.
Isaiah 54:11-17
Afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And I will lay your foundations with sapphires.
Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies,
And your gates of crystal,
And your entire]wall of precious stones.
All your sons will be taught by the Lord;
And the well-being of your sons will be great.
In righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear;
And from terror, for it will not come near you.
If anyone fiercely attacks you, it will not be from Me.
Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.
Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals
And produces a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin. No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. (NASB).
The team feel that they will be ministering in the 3 towns- Lowestoft, Gorleston, and Great Yarmouth, and as lockdown opens.
The team have seen God working through in a deep way, bringing healing by delivering clients from abuse of various kinds in some cases going back into childhood. This often needs repeated prayer, and the team ministry is not doing this in isolation but also connects clients with other forms of specialist help where that is available.
Below there are three anonymised testimonies received for Great Yarmouth Healing Rooms.
Today we prayed for X, they had been affected by severe bullying and malicious and false gossip by peers going back into the teenage years. This has the effect of isolating the person, who also suffered with severe back pain. We prayed into this today and believe that it has a root in grief carried by the fisher wives from the many fisherman deaths that have occurred in the town where they live and grew up. The person felt a freeing after prayer and saw a gold chain being handed to them by the Lord. We interpreted this as a mayoral chain, and we believe that this victory means that many others in the town will be set free from the grief that has poisoned the town in the past.
In the past few weeks Y has been set free from difficult church situations compiled over the past 40 years. Particularly there has been a recurring dream of people who were instrumental in the expulsion from of a residential Christian community situation and where there was a repeated pattern of rejection, very heavy discipline, and judgmental attitudes. The group was operating as a secret society with hidden power structures. With the support of the team Y has been freed from anger and curses spoken over Y have been removed. This healing has meant that feelings of extreme anger towards church leaders where there is abuse of power has been changed to a more normal response.
Z has received ongoing prayer over the past 3 years from Healing Rooms and has recently received help from a specialist ministry to find a complete freeing from sexual abuse that they suffered in their teenage years and suicides in their family. As a result, Z now believes that they are free from the effects of the abuse and feels a burden lifted so that they in conjunction with their doctor are reducing their use of anti-depressants. Z is receiving ongoing support now and is moving forwards in relationships and prayer ministry.
Our God is at work in our broken nation, bringing healing to those who have been abused, broken and downtrodden. Thank you, Lord, that you have a deep love for those who society has cast away.
Lord Jesus Christ – The Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness.
Our God that is who you are!
