PABLO VILLELA's HISTORY(61 years old)
Some day in June , I had just arrived home that night (11PM) after a long day of work….I needed a shower and sleep….I was very, very tired…. then Letty tells me "your friend Jonathan just called you, he has his father in law very sick at the hospital and wants you to visit with him" . To be honest, I just wanted to go to bed so I kind of heard in one ear "YOU ARE TIRED" and in the other ear "YOU MUST GO TO THE HOSPITAL" Then the phone rings again and there is Jonathan saying "The doctor said that PABLO is about to die, my wife is sad and crying and wanted to know if you can make it to the hospital" How in the world I was going to say no? YES I will be there……:)…...I felt GOD pushing me a bit. :) Anyway, I got ready and drove to the hospital. At first, the police officer would not allow me to enter all the way to PABLO's room. I just want to enter to pray for PABLO I said. No more than 3 people were allow in his room and well, finally he did let me in. PABLO was sick, very sick, his levels of sugar were very high and was told he had Diabetes. The first thing that I noticed when I entered his room….was that there were another 2 man laying in bed watching TV. The room was divided in 3 spaces by 2 curtains only ……..Anyway, when that men saw me they turned off the TV because they wanted to hear me speak to PABLO. "I though that was neat" I came close to where Pablo was and he barely spoke to me because he was very weak. I did pray the salvation prayer with him and then I did pray for healing. I also share a history of JESUS. He seemed very happy to hear, even though he was in bed at the hospital with a nurse checking on him. He also had his 2 daughters right in the same room helping him. After I spent some time with him I was about to leave the room BUT the other men stopped me and ask me for prayer too. That night was a great night, 3 souls gave their life to JESUS. The Lord took the tired I was and did help me in the hospital. A quick up date :PABLO didn't die, he is still alive up to today (August 28th). PRAISE GOD! I was a bit
afraid
because I heard once a history of a Pastor who was well know because all the time when he prayed for sick people next day the people would die. Well, our thoughts are not the same thoughts as GOD's neither our ways are his ways. To GOD be the glory and the honor. Amen!
