EXPERIENCE WITH GOD - HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM

I would like to share a great experience I had with God. About 11 years ago I had surgery on my vocal cords in Brazil, for misusing my voice and my former profession, I had a lesion on my vocal cords, but at that time I had no result, I went almost three months without speaking, and even the doctor who did the operation was a little scared, but I used my faith, and with the help of a good friend (Mrs. Janna) who helped me every day in prayer, my voice gradually returned, but with hoarseness.
Time passed, but I was not worried, I did not have the answer I wanted, but I left it in God's hands, and went on.
5 years after that surgery and being in another country, doing God's work in the United States, I went through another surgery, encouraged by a friend who had known someone who had this same kind of problem. I did another surgery with a doctor in Texas, but had no result, and it only improved a little but with time, the hoarseness continued.
I always spoke with God, revolted, because on several occasions when counseling or even evangelizing, people would ask me if that was my voice, if it was normal, or if I was sick, if I had the flu, and inside I was revolted. I always asked God for healing through faith, but it was not the case and gradually God gave me the condition to do his work, I had no illnesses, but it was something that bothered me.
I always remember this verse in the Bible, one that I heard a man of God say almost as soon as I entered the church: ¨Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will do this¨ (Psalm 37:5).
At the same time that it bothered me, I was sure that God was in charge, and the answer would come in some form.
Two and half years ago, I moved to another country (Argentina), not expecting it, because I had lived six years in the United States, so in the beginning, it was a shock... because I never thought I would change countries. To be honest, I was sad, I had thoughts and questions of why???... But always in the faith, I remembered this verse: "He will do this¨, and said: Amen, Jesus, if this is what the Lord wants, I'm going with this faith. And when I least expected it, even in losing, God created a whole situation where I was blessed in almost every aspect of my life, mainly in the spiritual aspect: I grew, I matured and my communion with God was strengthened as never before. And my vocal cords? God put me in Buenos Aires, where they have the best doctor in Argentina, in the best hospital in Argentina, in the hands of the best experts, and used him in a great way, that he could not believe the outcome of the development of my voice.
He made a minor correction, a minor surgery and treatment with a speech therapist, who was also placed by God, with much experience, who had also been in Germany, and six months of follow up sessions, and after these six months, she released me and said: Claudia your development is amazing, it is incredible to see hear your voice then and now, YOU ARE DIFFERENT, and I said: the HOLY SPIRIT IS DIFFERENT...
When we have him, we trust that He is truly the one in charge, who cares for us like the lilies that do nothing, but they are beautiful, perfect...
How wonderful to see the work of God in our lives, and today I can say that he did not do what I wanted, I wanted to attend a service and be healed at that moment, but He wanted to use a doctor, He created a situation that I least expected, took me to another country, but the answer came. No anxieties, no worries, but always using my Faith...
"Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever."

DEFEAT THE ENEMY

When we stop to reflect on our actions, we can place them on a scale: What did I do to obtain good results? Or what could I have done differently to get results?
I do not speak of results in my life but the life of the people because as servants we do not think about ourselves, we should not have desires or wills, but we should be in the center of the will of our Lord. And for us to truly bring results to people's lives, because we are a channel for people to receive the blessings, it is very important to overcome ourselves, daily. Controlling our impulses, the will of our flesh, situations we face daily, thoughts and concerns. Only when we defeat ourselves, can we overcome our worst enemy, which in most cases is within us. We overcome our will when we do not want to be in another place or another country different from where God has us. We do not speak what we want, instead what God wants us to speak, we do not think about what we want, rather think about what pleases God, we do not act as we want, but act as God wills. In practice, this is not so simple or easy. From my own experience, I see a spiritual maturity in my everyday life, struggling every day to overcome my will and, of course, the benefits have been wonderful. Responses that come directly from the throne of God and a wonderful fellowship with the Lord that is priceless.
Before making decisions or taking action, we must think "How would God want me to act in this situation?" So everything becomes clearer, and the fire of faith is always on, showing us the true supernatural power of God.
