that I might receive my eyesight.” He instantly received his
sight and Jesus said, “Go your way, your faith has made you
well.” (Mark 10:46-52)

There was a woman with an issue of blood and she had
spent all her money on doctors’ bills and there was no hope
for her. (Matthew 9:20) The woman said to herself that if she
could just touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, she would be
healed. So, she pressed through the crowd and touched
His garment, and immediately the issue of blood dried up.
Jesus swung around and asked, “Who touched me?” The
disciples said, “Lord the people are pressing in from every
side.” But Jesus said “No, someone touched Me, because
virtue went out of His body.” The embarrassed woman ran
up to Jesus and said it was her. Jesus said, “Be of good
cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.”

Nothing is impossible for God. I really don’t know what it is
that you are trusting God for at this moment, but I know it
is not too hard for God. The only thing that the Lord Jesus
Christ requires of His children is to have faith to believe for
the impossible, to “…walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthi-
ans 5:7) and to call those things that aren’t as if they were.

The buildup to possibly the biggest Christian prayer meet-
ing the world has ever seen (some say 1.5 million, others
say 1.2 million and some even go as far as to say 1.7 million
people.) There were 450,000 motorcars, a train coming from
Cape Town and thousands of buses all congregating and
this all happened within 6 weeks. No tickets were sold and
no collection were taken. The budget exceeded R40 million
and was all paid for before I stood on the platform. The plat-
form was three stories high and yet the people at the end
of the crowd could not even see the platform. The distance
of the crowd was over 2 km long and there were 27 stations
with big screens, and 600 speakers. It all happened by God
and for His glory. People told me continually off-and-on to
the buildup of the event that it can’t happen and I had to
keep saying to myself “...but God…but God…but God.”
