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 />
