God bless you saints, I am very excited at finally being able to send in this testimony. I have always suffered from lack of sleep. It is a rare day when I get to bed before 11pm, but then I would awake suddenly at around 3am. After tossing and turning sleeplessly, I would finally fall into a light sleep at around 5am, only for my alarm to ring at 5.30am!
On many a mornings I have woken up angry at myself and frustrated for not being able to sleep, followed by a horrible day of exhaustion, headache, forgetfulness, and being short-tempered. One day a guest preacher at our church mentioned how we should incorporate the Message as much as possible in whatever we are doing: at work, in the house, car, everywhere, the prophet's voice should be heard. He encouraged us to have a tape or a CD playing even when we are going to bed. I thought this certainly couldn't ever work for me as I am already a very light sleeper and I just couldn't take the sound of someone's voice when I am trying to sleep! So I dismissed the idea until last month, when the problem persisted.
I had tried to take sleeping pills but was aware they could be addictive, so I restricted them to no more than twice a week. Nevertheless, I still struggled in my heart, knowing I shouldn’t be relying on pills to sleep. Then suddenly from the blues, I wondered why I had all these years never prayed about sleeplessness. I think I had never considered it to be a disease or a condition that could be prayed for. I just attributed it to stress from my busy schedule. It got to a point where I really got sick and knew I couldn’t take it anymore. I was literally a walking zombie. After reading testimonies on the VGR website on how people get healed as the prophet calls out their conditions, I then began to think it could help if I could hear the prophet conducting a prayer line, maybe he might mention my problem.
At work, it's impossible to do this because one is always consumed with work and cannot do much of anything else. Thereafter I get home late and am unable to even sit down for a few minutes of quiet. That left me with only one chance, to listen to God's prophet while I am in bed. I figured out that I might just as well listen to a sermon anyway, since the alternative was staring sleeplessly in the darkness. I acquired a microSD card two weeks ago and placed my phone next to my pillow as I listened to the very first message, “Faith is The Substance-47-0412.” I did not listen for very long; I fell asleep and for the first time in years brethren, I experienced the glorious slumber of a young child!
I cannot just express, in writing, the joy in my heart for the ability to sleep through the night, wake up feeling fresh, energetic and bright-eyed, no more headaches, no more foul tempers, no more fatigue, the Voice just soothed me and continues to soothe me to sleep.
God bless you all.
