It doesn’t matter who you are, we all have questions for God. Whether you’ve asked, “Who should I marry?” or, “Where should I go to college?” these questions about our direction in life are normal. “Ask and you shall receive,” right?
For most of us as Christians, when we seek the will of the Lord, his promises are true—He reveals something new. It may not always be the answer we thought, or had even hoped for, but there’s no doubt that his way is far greater than anything we could ever dream up on our own.
In a rural village in Northwest China, a woman named Ting was posed with these questions all the time. She was a local Shaman—someone who could tap into the world of good and evil spirits through magic to practice divination and healing.
Thousands came to Ting in pursuit of her “divine counsel,” and she was proud of her success.
As we know, there is only ONE, True God. And Ting was playing her own version of God through Shamanism.
Her health began to rapidly decline with no warning, and within just a few days, Ting was paralyzed on her death bed.
No doctor could diagnose her illness, and Ting was unable to practice her spiritual healing due to her extreme pain and agony. Her only escape was sleep—but even that was terrifying, because every moment that passed could easily be her last.
Ting fell into a deep sleep. It was during this sleep when Jesus challenged everything Ting had ever known, and transformed her heart.
