74. Malcolm – Calling those things which do not exist as though they did (Rom 4:17)
Name: Malcolm
Date: Early 2000
Location: Singapore
This is an awesome testimony shared by Brother Malcolm in our last fellowship meeting. He has given his permission to share to the glory of Jesus and I am trying to tell it as accurately as I heard it. Today, Malcolm is a spiritual inspiration to many, but this testimony goes back to the early days.
A few months after Malcolm’s son was born, he was diagnosed with a kidney condition. From a young age, his son had to be on dialysis. Malcolm was depressed and began to spend more time at work to take his attention off the problems at home.
Soon, his marriage also suffered. The communication between the spouses was also affected. It came to a point when they had to go for counseling under their pastor.
He was counseled by the pastor while his wife was counseled by the pastor’s wife. After the counseling session, they came together to pray. He said that he started praying, like most other people, for God’s forgiveness for his shortcomings. He was conscious of himself and his problems, almost beating himself up in prayer.
Then it was his wife’s turn to pray. He was shocked. She prayed in a way that he had not heard before – in a way that he has not expected from the same wife whom he was having communication problems with. She started to call forth things which do not exist as though they did! She began to thank God for a WONDERFUL HUSBAND! And that prayer went on along those lines.
Today, through the prayer of faith, Malcolm is truly transformed by the grace of God. Those who know him are familiar with his radical passion for our Lord Jesus. He has been an encouragement to many. His marriage relationship has been restored. My wife and I had a good time of fellowship with them a few months ago.
His testimony was a reminder that we can call forth things which do not exist as though they did – by faith according to the promises of God. A number of people have already told me how they have been inspired by this testimony.
The other good news is that his son has received a kidney transplant recently. He believes it was the provision of God, but he also continues to call forth the full healing manifestation of God – to be free from post-transplant medication. We agree with prayer with him.
