Just listened to Hugh Thompson,an older man, an apostolic leader from England who spoke out of Abrahams and Samuels lives and a few others who encountered God. In each case they responded to God with 'Here I am ' and then had God speak powerfully to them. Hugh explained that this meant 'here i am totally present, totally engaged, totally with You'. Challenged me how 'un engaged' I can get when seeking God.
Spent today with other Linknz leaders today, we prayed, fasted and spent the day as close as possible to be totally engaged with God.It was refreshing and challenging to be ' up close' and 'totally engaed'. Felt so right.
Must do it again-soon.

Mike Rowe - Testimony of Healing
This is Mike Rowes testimony,a young man I have had time with over 2007.During all this time he has been in a cast and had a broken arm so this testimony of healing is very encoraging.
'In February 2006 I was playing in a sevens tournament for my club team in Whangarei when I was tackled and landed on my wrist braking my Scaphoid. At the time it was sore but I didn’t think it was broken. After the tournament I met with the Northland team physio who said it wasn’t broken, just sore. A week or so later I went to the hospital in Rotorua. They saw that I could move my wrist so they decided it didn't need an X-ray. For the next 2 months I strapped it up and played with the Blues development team although it was pretty sore.
In April 2006 I was still in pain so was sent to a surgeon in Whangarei who didn't have a very good reputation, but it had to be worked on quickly. After many months of going back and forth different surgeons around the country including a
top surgeon in Auckland, my wrist hadn't improved at all. I was sent back to Whangarei but they were unable to operate or do anything more for me. My contract with Northland was nearly up and so I returned home to Feilding. I was then sent to a surgeon in Palmerston North who saw the problem was too complex so he sent me on to Professor Thurston in Wellington.
Professor Thurston decided that it needed operating on and would need a complicated
operation called a vascular bone craft. After 4 months of going back and forward with more X-rays it looked as though this bone was never going to heal. Rather than getting better with each operation it was getting worse. It had come to the point that I didn’t care if they couldn’t fix my wrist well enough to play sport again I just didn’t want a weak wrist that was always sore and stopped me doing day to day activities.
During the operation Professor Thurston couldn’t even find the break at first. The X-ray that I'd had earlier on revealed that there was massive damage. But as Professor Thurston looked at my wrist, there was nothing to do – it was fixed. After the operation he walked in to Recovery with a beaming smile and gave me the good news, there was no need to operate – my wrist had been healed!
Only God could have healed it as quickly as it did. I know that Mum and Dad never stopped praying even though I had given up a long time ago. I also know that Fraser and Dale were also praying for me during this time.
I had been in the safe hands of a highly trained professional who was to find out that he had been beaten to the operation by GOD ALMIGHTY.'
