Miracle Service<br />

Report<br />

February 20, 2010<br />

Peggy Lim was devastated<br />

after her divorce. Totally<br />

shaken, broken and bruised,<br />

life had no meaning at all.<br />

Her one focus was to fend for<br />

her only son. However, it all<br />

changed when she met<br />

the Lord.<br />

As a young girl, Peggy would<br />

muse about the meaning<br />

of love. Her large family<br />

was constantly riddled with<br />

frequent financial difficulties<br />

and conflicts and she felt<br />

neglected. To add to her<br />

woes, her marriage was not a<br />

happy one. She was divorced<br />

when Jovi, her son, was only<br />

seven years old. Peggy had a<br />

difficult task of being both a<br />

mother and a father to Jovi.<br />

The harsh circumstances<br />

she encountered hardened<br />

her heart so much so that<br />

she found it hard to cry. Once<br />

when all her loved ones cried<br />

over her very ill mother, Peggy<br />

could not even shed a tear.<br />

Relationship with her<br />

mother was on bad terms<br />

and she would be agitated<br />

and screamed at her for the<br />

slightest of reason during<br />

conversation. Her life was<br />

devoid of joy and meaning. And<br />

when she felt overwhelmed by<br />

her circumstances, she would<br />

just let out loud screams in<br />

her car; of course, with all<br />

the windscreens rolled up.<br />

Besides, she was plagued with<br />

a host of minor but persistent<br />

illnesses. Peggy would feel<br />

dizzy and suffer headaches<br />

practically every day. Should<br />

she catch a cold, it would<br />

take weeks for her to recover.<br />

Despite taking supplements<br />

to boost her immunity system,<br />

her conditions seemed none<br />

the better. Physically and<br />

mentally she was running<br />

on empty.<br />

When Jovi was 10 years old,<br />

he was diagnosed with ADD<br />

(Attention Deficit Disorder).<br />

This condition caused him<br />

to be distracted easily. He<br />

even had trouble completing<br />

simple tasks or activities.<br />

To attract attention, he<br />

would do outlandish things<br />

like screaming and crying.<br />

Eventually, Peggy had him<br />

transferred to a special school<br />

to keep him from being bullied<br />

by his classmates. On top of<br />

it all, Jovi also suffered from<br />

bad stomach cramps and<br />

headaches, and would walk<br />

with a hunch. His shoulders<br />

were droopy and he had<br />

difficulty walking over long<br />

distances or standing too long.<br />

In the midst of this depressing<br />

journey, Peggy started having<br />

frequent nightmares. She<br />

dreamt of a black ball that<br />

would get into her mouth to<br />

choke her. Being jostled out<br />

of her sleep, Peggy would<br />

wake up in the middle of the<br />

night gasping for breath and<br />

feeling aches in her body. This<br />

frightening dream happened<br />

every night. She thought her<br />

air passage might just close<br />

up and she would actually<br />

die in her sleep. Her nagging<br />

concern was, “Who would<br />

take care of Jovi if I were to<br />

die in my sleep?” The fear was<br />

so real that she even gave<br />

her son a list of telephone<br />

numbers to call in case she<br />

failed to wake up.<br />

As God would have it, Peggy<br />

received a <strong>Lighthouse</strong> Miracle<br />

Service tract from a Lighter<br />

and she merely took a cursory<br />

glance and then put it away.<br />

Some six months later in April<br />

2008, she took it out again<br />

to read as her nightmares<br />

continued to haunt her. That<br />

night, she was awakened by the<br />

same dream three times. After<br />

the third time, she cried out the<br />

name of Jesus in desperation.<br />

She uttered, “Jesus, I need a<br />

good sleep. All I ask is to see<br />

Jovi in the morning. I cannot<br />

die now. Amen.”<br />

After the prayer, she fell into<br />

a peaceful and undisturbed<br />

sleep. Her sleep was so good<br />

that when she woke up, her<br />

body no longer ached. From<br />

then on, every night she would<br />

utter that prayer. And the<br />

dream did not return anymore.<br />

Hallelujah!<br />

Two days later, Peggy decided<br />

to attend Miracle Service at<br />

our healing center in Tampines<br />

with her Lighter friend. Jovi<br />

accompanied her although<br />

with some resistance.<br />

During worship, something<br />

remarkable happened to<br />

Peggy. She was so touched that<br />

her tears started to flow freely.<br />

She felt as if she had finally<br />

come home. When Jovi was<br />

being prayed for, he too felt the<br />

Lord moving within him. They<br />

both went home rejoicing and<br />

praising God.<br />

At the following Miracle<br />

Service, Jovi received a<br />

miracle. During service,<br />

he felt two heated hands<br />

touching his lower back.<br />

The next day, Peggy noticed<br />

that Jovi’s back was totally<br />

straightened. He himself felt a<br />

difference in his gait and that<br />

he could walk straight and<br />

long distances with ease. He<br />

was overjoyed. Progressively,<br />

even his stomach cramps and<br />

headaches disappeared too.<br />

As Peggy continued attending<br />

the Miracle Service, she began<br />

to enjoy a sweet communion<br />

with Jesus. She saw the hand of<br />

God helping her in many areas<br />

of her life. In one instance, she<br />

rejoiced that God miraculously<br />

guided her from a sticky<br />

personal problem.<br />

Miracles after miracles were<br />

happening in Jovi’s life. He<br />

could even text his mom on his<br />

mobile phone, a thing that he<br />

could not do before. He could<br />

even formulate words and write<br />

in complete sentences. It was<br />

a glorious breakthrough! God<br />

also healed Peggy of inflamed<br />

bunions and acne on her back<br />

and stomach area that had<br />

plagued her for 20 years.<br />

Peggy’s parents saw the<br />

transformation in the lives<br />

of Peggy and Jovi. They were<br />

also touched by the joy and<br />

healing that Peggy and her son<br />

experienced. One night, Peggy’s<br />

mother had a dream of Jesus.<br />

He gave her a Bible and told her<br />

to ask her daughter to explain<br />

it to her. The following week,<br />

she went to the Miracle Service<br />

and received salvation. She<br />

had diabetes and hypertension<br />

for more than 20 years and<br />

required medication daily. God<br />

healed both her conditions<br />

and she had stopped her<br />

medication.<br />

Peggy’s Dad was a chain<br />

smoker for 52 years. He tried<br />

quitting many times but to no<br />

avail. A few months after he<br />

received Christ, he successfully<br />

quit smoking with no side<br />

effects whatsoever. When<br />

Peggy’s younger brother saw<br />

the joy in his parents, his sister<br />

and his nephew, he too was<br />

convicted and willingly received<br />

Jesus as his Savior and Lord.<br />

Indeed, the name of Jesus is<br />

powerful. His name is above all<br />

names and we give Him all the<br />

glory and honor. Amen.<br />

True Happiness Part 4<br />

<strong>By</strong> <strong>Pastor</strong> Rony <strong>Tan</strong><br />

In John 8, the Bible tells an incredible story<br />

of Jesus being confronted by the Jewish<br />

leaders. They brought a woman caught in<br />

adultery to Him, with the intent of accusing<br />

Him. As the plot unfolds, we see the Lord’s<br />

plan in forgiving and loving her.<br />

This message will explore the concept of<br />

forgiveness: the meaning, the cost, the<br />

response and the impact. Our desire for you<br />

is to discover the power of God’s forgiveness<br />

in your life!

10 PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH<br />

An excerpt taken from the book Health And Longevity written by <strong>Pastor</strong> Rony <strong>Tan</strong><br />

1. An intimate relationship with God<br />

I cannot conceive life without God, either<br />

on earth or in eternity. We are talking<br />

about being connected with the ultimate<br />

Source of life and power. If God is for me,<br />

with me and in me, surely He will keep me<br />

in good condition.<br />

2. A clear conscience<br />

If I settle all accounts with God and man,<br />

I will surely have a clear conscience.<br />

It will then mean that I can eat better,<br />

sleep better and live better. That itself<br />

is healthy living.<br />

3. Resolution of inner conflicts<br />

If I learn to forgive and not harbor<br />

bitterness in my heart, the majority of my<br />

inner conflicts would have been solved.<br />

In the absence of needless conflicts and<br />

strife in my heart, God’s fountain of youth<br />

will be activated in my life.<br />

4. Cleanliness within and without<br />

Purity always brings power. Cleanliness<br />

is godliness and godliness is abundant<br />

life. Healthy living means clean thoughts<br />

and deeds.<br />

5. Being diligent<br />

Hard work has never killed anyone; rather,<br />

it rewards and makes the heart glad. A<br />

happy heart is a young heart. Cheerful<br />

diligence brings health and life.<br />

6. Solution consciousness<br />

The opposite of solution consciousness<br />

is problem consciousness. Solution<br />

consciousness always brings you<br />

enlightenment and enlightenment<br />

will put a spring in your steps.<br />

7. A healthy and balanced diet<br />

You are what you eat. Some people have<br />

dug their own graves with their own<br />

mouths. Eat wisely and live youthfully.<br />

8. Sound sleep<br />

Work hard and sleep well. Tell me honestly,<br />

do you look better in the morning after a<br />

good night’s rest or having no sleep at all?<br />

The answer is obvious.<br />

9. Regular exercise<br />

Our bones and muscles actually become<br />

smaller and begin to deteriorate if they are<br />

not exercised. If that is the case, all the<br />

products and creams for youthfulness will<br />

not do you any good if exercise and growth<br />

stimulation are missing.<br />

If the structure of your entire body is<br />

not only shrinking but also collapsing,<br />

do something about your inactivity. And<br />

as you do so, pray and praise God for<br />

effective results.<br />

10. A challenge in life<br />

Do you have something challenging to look<br />

forward to all the time? If you do, you know<br />

you cannot afford to grow old and useless.<br />

That meaningful and powerful dream will<br />

keep you vibrant.<br />
