TESTIMONIES

An extract from an email received from DR. T.D. Prasanna Kumar of Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India, dated 7th September 2013 Dear Pastor, Loving greetings in the highly exalted name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Here below are given a few testimonies of what the Lord has done during your visit to this place.

1. Usually, whenever a preacher visits us there will be at least ten percent of the congregation who do not have satisfaction for whatever reason but your ministry in Kadapa has been so successful that it reached every heart,
2. The talk in my congregation is that right from the day and time you started preaching the Word, it was something different in the entire campus and everybody began to receive the Word and you with great joy. They were feeling the presence of the Lord.
3. Each one of the congregation had a definite message from the Lord through you.
4. Regarding the healings and wonders, not only were the testimonies heard when you were with us but also they were heard even after you left the city.
5. Finally my family members felt really comfortable and encouraged through your visit and stay.

God bless you. My name is Prophetess Sharon Satiya. I live in Durban, South Africa. My husband is Prophet Mark Satiya. God uses us in the deliverance and healing ministry. We were so busy running around praying for people and taking calls that I didn’t make much time for prayer. That’s when I got attacked. We prayed for some people in Johannesburg and when we got to Durban, we were so busy that I didn’t get a chance to rest. It so happened that on Tuesday the 15 of July 2014 I was rushed to hospital because I suffered severe chest pains. The doctors told me that my heart and pulse rate was too high and was not decreasing. I was admitted in hospital for five days and in a near death situation. When I was discharged from hospital I was still not too good. My husband spoke to Apostle Harris Govindasamy who said that he will be in Durban on 22nd July 2014 ministering at a healing and deliverance meeting in Phoenix. That night when I sat in the service as Apostle Harris was preaching, something warm started to be stirred inside of me. I was without any strength before I went to the service and I was only sleeping 24/7. My kids and my husband were so stressed seeing me in this condition. It was for the first time ever that I was ill like this. After that warm feeling filled me, I received my healing. Apostle Harris told me that I need to spend more time in God’s presence and God was going to use me even more strongly. To all who are reading my testimony, especially ministers, take the time out to spend with God otherwise you will dry up. The devil tries to keep us occupied and what we do with our time is important. I make it my duty to spend time with God now. He is my strength. I made a mistake by always being occupied. Never be too occupied for the Lord that gave you the gifts because without Jesus we are nothing. Apostle Harris said that he doesn’t have to mention my name in the testimony and I told him that he should. If Jesus healed me openly then I need to testify openly. It all leads to this. We are ministers and yes the devil tries his best to attack us but we have to always be on guard against the devil’s attack. I waited patiently for the Lord, He turned to me and heard my cry. Ps. 40:1 I thank God for allowing me to go through what I have been through. It has made me stronger in the Lord and more powerful. God bless you all. Ministers, the devil is not shy to hurt you, so don’t be shy to say how God took you out of a certain situation. Above all I want to thank my God, my Savior and friend. I love you Lord. Thank you sweet Jesus for all you have done in my life and all that you are going to do. I wait in anticipation for your next move Lord. Thank you Apostle Harris. God bless you for the work you are doing. We love and appreciate you.

Prophetess Sharon Satiya, Phoenix, Durban, South Africa

I first met Apostle Govindasamy then known as “Pastor Harris” in Botswana in 2001. What a humble man of God! During that crusade there were many testimonies of healings and deliverance; many people gave their lives to Christ. One of the things that stood out for me to this day was that during the last Sunday service of the crusade. Pastor Harris was teaching about the importance of having a seed and sowing that seed. He then opened his wallet, pulled out notes of 50 Pula, 20 Pula and began to give it to people in the meeting as a seed for them to sow. He then said: “This is what it is all about; God blesses us so that we can be a blessing to others”. If I can recall, this money was the proceeds from the sale of his music tapes. That gesture spoke volumes to me. I knew that this man was sold out to serve God and save souls and that he was not doing this for money. In 2002 I invited him to come to my church in Mogwase, North West of South Africa. God touched many lives and saved many souls. We became friends and he ministered numerous times for me at various branches of my church in the North West and in Johannesburg. God moved every single time in a mighty way. Apostle Harris is a genuine man of God with an authentic gospel of Christ. I thank God for friends like him.
