On the 16th of November 2025, the church of FGA KL was blessed with a healing rally with Pr Peter de Fin.
Widely noted for being a descendant of Smith Wigglesworth, the well-known early 20th-century healing evangelist, Pr Peter has inherited a significant ministry. Besides being the founder and lead pastor of Acts Christian Church in South Africa, a multi-campus Pentecostal church known for its emphasis on the Holy Spirit, healing, and supernatural Christian living which he started in 1999 with his wife, Tammy, he and Tammy also focus on raising new leaders, planting churches globally, and building strong ministries for families and young people.
Pr Peter’s preaching often centres on faith, obedience to God, and living a Spirit-empowered life marked by signs and miracles. Beyond his local church, Pastor Peter frequently speaks at conferences, appears on Christian podcasts, and engages in community-focused initiatives, making him a recognised figure within charismatic and Pentecostal circles.
The Quiet Work of Faith
Pr Peter began his message that day by asking a simple question: “How do we receive from God?” The answer, though familiar, goes deeper than we realise. Scripture shows again and again that it is not God’s distance that keeps breakthroughs away but often the subtle shadow of unbelief that settles unnoticed in the heart.
Pr Peter pointed out that we read that in Mark 6, even Jesus encountered this. He stood among people He loved, yet their hearts had grown closed. It was not because they hated Him, but because they knew Him or they thought they did. Familiarity had quietly eroded expectation.
Much earlier, in Sarah’s laughter (Genesis 18), we see the same thing. She laughed not from joy, but from years of disappointment. Her body, her age, her history, all whispered, “It’s too late.” And many of us carry the same whisper deep inside. The experiences of life can wear on us.
Pr Peter gently reminded us that we live in the natural world but our God is supernatural. There is a popular phrase, “the leap of faith”, but faith is not a leap. It is in fact a turning — a quiet shift of the heart toward God again. Maybe the beginning of healing is simply this: to believe again where we have grown tired of hoping.
The God Who Moves Where We Cannot See
Pr Peter shared a testimony from Germany about a couple who could not conceive. After much prayer, they received the crushing medical verdict that it was “medically impossible” for them. Yet, in the midst of the heartbreaking news, they chose to hold onto what God had spoken, not what their bodies declared. Only a year later, they held their child in their arms.
Their testimony gently invites us to ask ourselves about which report we are building our faith on; the ones we see, or the One who sees us? The natural report is real. But God’s Word is final. Faith does not overturn facts. It places them into the hands of the One who is above them.
“Dig Ditches Even When There Is No Rain”
In another portion of the Bible, 2 Kings 3, the Israelite army stood in a desert with no water, no strength, and no hope. They had taken a long, roundabout road through the wilderness of Edom, a strategic but dangerous route. For seven days they had marched against Moab, a rebellious kingdom that was threatening their economic and political stability, without making much headway and now they had run out of water.
When God spoke, His instruction felt strange. In the midst of the situation, the prophet Elisha stepped in and the Israelites were instructed to “dig ditches.” There were no clouds, no wind, and no rain. Just a command to prepare for what had not yet appeared and that did not make sense. Some of the Israelites thought that God had led them there to die, but they finally obeyed in a prophetic act of faith. At dawn, without a single drop from the sky, the valley was suddenly filled with water and God delivered the armies of Moab into the hands of the Israelites.
Pr Peter shared that God sometimes works in ways unseen. He moves without signs yet He fills the valley long after we have stopped checking the horizon. This is the God we follow; the God with an awesome power and who brings water without rain. There are times in our lives when maybe it feels like that valley – dry, cracked, and tired. But dawn is still coming and God is still able to fill what feels empty.
Healing That Touches More Than the Body
Pr Peter also shared a tender testimony about a woman with severe arthritis. She walked bent over, leaning heavily on her cane. But when Pr Peter prayed, God revealed an even deeper wound. The woman had been hurt grievously by others and had unforgiveness from her past. As Pr Peter guided her to release it in prayer, something shifted.
The next morning, she woke up completely healed. Months later, when they met again, the woman was standing tall and bright and he barely recognised her. The woman’s story reminds us that healing is often deeper than symptoms. Sometimes God begins with the heart long before He reaches the bones. God doesn’t just heal our physical pain. He heals memories and emotional and spiritual wounds, even those within the silent places we hide them in.
Why God Heals
Pr Peter grounded his overall sermon in four truths, each of which is like a gentle whisper of the Father’s heart.
- God heals because He is full of compassion.
When Jesus touched the leper in Mark 1, it wasn’t only power flowing out, it was love.
- Healing is the children’s bread.
Healing is not an occasional gift but something that belongs to the family of God (Mark 7).
- Healing is promised
Jesus carried our sicknesses just as He carried our sins (Isaiah 53; Matthew 8).
- Healing flows from the Cross.
His blood restores every part of us, body, soul, and spirit.
These truths remind us that healing is not something we must earn. It is something God longs to give.
A Closing Reflection: A Moment to Believe Again
At the end of his message, Pr Peter invited the congregation to lift their hands and declare their faith in the Lord Jesus as our Healer. Jesus had taken our infirmities and carried our sicknesses. It was a quiet call, made from hearts turning back toward hope.
As we reflect on Pr Peter’s message, we are reminded that healing is not only an event but an encounter with the Living God. God moves with compassion. He speaks into valleys. He touches deep wounds. He brings life where there has only been long disappointment.
Maybe today, God is inviting us to dig one more ditch, whisper one more prayer, lay down one more burden, or simply open our hearts again. The God who heals is still near. He is still kind. He is still willing. And He is still able to fill our valleys, even without rain.
