Roaring, crying and laughing have healed me of bruxism (teeth clenching) during the 5th Joshua Camp. I had this problem a couple of months ago. Whenever I feel tense, stress or upset, I would feel a clenching of my jaws especially in the night when I sleep. As a result, when I get up in the morning, my lower face would ache and sometimes I would l have a headache. The pain got more intense as work pressure built up towards the end of May. I tried taking different kinds of remedies and vitamins to relax my muscles. It did help a little but I still feel the tightness of my jaw. But after coming back from the Camp, the pain left me. Thank you Lord.
The Camp has also helped me to realise that I have backslide. My heart was better than lukewarm but still far away from the Lord. I was born again about 14 years ago and at that time, was fired up for the Lord, but over the years, have allowed many things to fill my life. I also lack a mentor to reassure me of things that I have experienced and who could answer questions I have. I must say it has not been an easy journey because at times, I think I hear Him but am not sure if it was me or other voices. At the Camp, the teachings, the anointing, experiencing His presence and doing things that I would normally not do have helped me to draw closer to Him. Thank you Holy Spirit.
I left Malacca earlier than the rest of the participants to complete some official work which I have to hand in the next day. The ‘silent-retreat-home-alone journey’ back to Sinagpore was a great time spent in the presence of the Lord. I felt he was with me and I was able to communicate with him, talking and clarifying issues that matters to me and hearing from Him for sure.
I would like to extend my thanks to Pastor Paul, Pastor Esther and the CKRM organizing committee for making time and creating opportunities for me and others to experience God and to know him at a deeper level.
