Been reading this book lately, its call Chasing the Dragon by Jackie Pullinger and i must say that it has been really inspirational to read it. It is about this lady from Britain who was called to be a missionary and found herself at the shore of HongKong with a little more than a 100HK dollars in hand. The next 40 yrs of her life was dedicated to the poor, the forsaken, the rapist, the drug peddlers, the prostitures and the likes. Many have turned to Jesus and in such a wonderful way, albeit it was not an easy journey but I for one have learnt something very important after reading this wonderful book. Its called Praying in the Spirit.
I have always taken this gift i have for granted, only used it when i really needed it.. but as i continue to read the book, it tells of heroin addicts that come off heroin by just speaking in tongues! and i realised that in our lives, our bad habits although not as perverse or as hurtful as drugs can also be set free by the power of the Holy Spirit. All they had to do was Believe that Jesus is Lord and Saviour! time after time in the book it says that drug addicts do not feel the withdrawal symptoms of coming off heroin by just praying in the spirit. Gang leaders and whole triads turn to Jesus one by one having their lives changed because of someone who died for them 2000 yrs ago.
Amazing isnt it! if you have a problem today that u cannot handle with your own strength be it a bad habit that you want to kick but cannot, i strongly suggest trying Jesus. All we have to do is Believe and pray.
