(17.) Ay. Dr. Ranjth Lal Wanasooriya,

I learn God’s Word mostly through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When I listened to the teachings on the first day I realized that God had already taught these things to me, but I asked, “Lord, why did you bring me to a teaching that you have already taught me?” But on the 2nd day when I was listening to the teachings I realized that God brought me in order to confirm what He has already taught. The Lord strengthened me and gave me more knowledge in order to build my spiritual life and to be a blessing to others.

Through the Teaching, Training and the Testing program “The Testing of Your Faith”, truly my faith walk with our Lord Jesus became more significant. I received a refreshed hope and more knowledge.
