“Most of you know I am taking care of my Mom. She was in and out of hospital in December several times. Husband got a physical. We got a phone call saying they had found something in his lungs. My self had also got my annual mammagram. Am high risk of female cancer. They called me to tell me I had to get an in depth mammogram because they had found two spots that was a cause for concern. When I got there they did the test and came back and said I had to get an ultra sound. I seen both on screen, nurse looked concerned. I got to admit fear rose up in me. Nurse left the room, then I got angry. Too much had been going on and I felt I couldn’t take much more . I reminded GOD of His promises.. and refused to except what the nurse had told me. I just could not receive that because I had to stay healthy to take care of my Mom. I reminded GOD by HIS son’s stripes I was healthy and that it was nothing. I gave thanks to HIM for it. The Doctor came in the room with a flat expression her face– then she said. “IT IS NOTHING!!” Praise and all the glory to GOD!! Oh yeah– my hubby– his was a slight touch of emphysema. GOD is so good. HIS promises are forever.”

God’s Protection

“Last month, Tommy, Sheneca, and I went to Planet Fitness gym around 10:00 p.m one night during the week. As we were walking in, Tommy realized he forgot to leave his wallet in the car. So he ran back to put it in the glove department where he always puts it, but felt he was being told specifically to place it on top of my purse and had no clue as to why but just listened. We worked out for about an hour then headed out to our cars. Sheneca and I had parked next to each other. As we proceeded up to the cars we saw that somebody had broken into both of them. Her passenger side window was busted and my driver side window was busted and the door was open. I was in shock, how could this happen to me? Quickly, we both ran to look in our cars because we had all of our belongings in them and I called 911. My coach purse with my wallet, Tommy’s wallet, money, bank cards, credit cards, my iPhone, and other personal belongings was still sitting right where I left it in the middle of the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat. Looking through my car, I realized my bag with my work clothes in it was gone. Sheneca mentioned that her purse with her wallet and bank cards was gone that she had placed under her seat before we went in the gym. I thought it was odd for her purse to be gone when it was well hidden and mine was in plain sight. I could only thank God. At this point a police officer showed up and we went over everything with him. After speaking with the officer, we left to go home. On the way home, Tommy and I were talking. I was telling him how upset I was, I did not have money to get my window fixed and I would never do anything like this to anybody. Why did it have to be me? He remained calm the whole time and just talked to me and helped me calm down. As we were talking, he told me that something was telling him to put his wallet on top of my purse when he usually puts it in my glove department. He had the anointing oil in his wallet which protected our belongings. The thieves were blinded by God and grabbed the bag with my work clothes in it instead of my purse with all our important belongings.”

“God is working in my life as well. I had an external hard drive that had personal, youth ministry and all kinds of important things on it. Without it I would have to start a lot of things all over again after 3 years of work. (not to mention all my family pictures and home videos.) For 1 week I tried to plug it in my computer each day about 10-15 times hoping it would somehow be visible. Nothing. I called customer support. Nothing. The drive was dead. My awesome wife told me to go up and get some anointing oil and pray over it. When I did this, I plugged my hard drive in and it immediately popped up and I had all of my files!!!! Truly the credit goes to GOD!!!! His presence is here…”

“When I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the Fall of 2009, I had to stop taking bio-identical hormone replacements. I immediately noticed severe insomnia along with other mid-life symptoms. Not wanting to take sleeping pills, it was recommended I take melatonin, a natural substance already in our bodies. I understand 3 mg of melatonin helps most people doze off, but I was taking 9-12 mg every night just to fall asleep. Many times I found myself still awake until 3 and sometimes 4 in the morning but would not revert to sleeping pills. It was exhausting.

When you don’t get your rest, you don’t feel the best during the day. This was affecting my entire outlook on my days and nights. One night in prayer at the church, after taking communion, the Word of the Lord came that because of the blood of Jesus, someone was being healed of severe insomnia. I immediately embraced this for myself and thanked God for speaking this. That night, I purposed in my heart not to take melatonin, even though, in the natural, I couldn’t help but wonder if it would really happen after two years and four months of insomnia. I had to counteract this fleshly thought by thanking God for taking the time to speak to me and believed Him to take care of this. The next morning, I realized I had fallen asleep with no melatonin or any sleep aid whatsoever. The following night, the enemy tried to tell me it was a coincidence and it wouldn’t last. I again realized that I must combat this negative thought by verbally thanking God again for what He was doing. I spoke it out so that I could hear it with my own ears and so that Satan himself could also.

Today is the first time I have shared with my family what has happened because it has now been over two weeks with absolutely no melatonin or any sleeping aid! That night in prayer I was not even asking for His help just praying for His will and favor to be on the ministry. He blessed me that evening as I was ‘seeking first the kingdom of Heaven’….(Matthew 6:33) Praise be to His Holy Name!

I want to encourage everyone to give God glory for what He has done in your life and in the lives of your family. There were 10 people Jesus healed with only one returning to give Him thanks.” Let us be like the one!

Also the Bible teaches us in Revelation 12:11 “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…” Remember, what you speak is powerful!”

New Job

“I am so blessed, grateful, & humbled by the move of God in my life. I was so stressed by my previous position @ work that I used almost all my time off within the first 3 quaters of the year. I was @ the point where I knew I needed a new position or a new employer. I cried sometimes because of what was going on but I just kept reminding myself, work as if ur working for God not a company, do all things to the glory of God. I know God saw my every sorrow. He would send words & moments of encouragement 2 keep me hopeful throughout the day/week. Then He sent word throught the prophet announcing that He was releasing jobs & new positions for those already employed & my spirit received it as soon as it was said & I praised God in advance claiming that for myself. In less than 3 months, I had a new position with a department that had not hired for over 5yrs. Since my new position that started 11.1.11 I have not called out of work for stress/frustration like I did b4. Then God over turned my former supervisors performance appraisal from performing to leading (like having a C changed to an A+ on ur report card). I know that as long as I work for God, He’ll take care of the rest.” Matt 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

New Job & Promotion

“A few months ago a word was spoken in service that within the next 3 months God would provide those looking for a job with one and that people would be promoted. Well I had been looking for a new job for almost a year and could not find one and I knew God had not opened the door yet. Almost 3 months after that word I found a new job and haven’t even been there 90 days yet and I am getting promoted! I couldn’t ask for a better job, I love it there! God is so faithful!! I am learning its all about his perfect timing.”

God’s Provision

“I have four wisdom teeth under the skin that need to be removed desperately. They are pushing on my other teeth and have caused severe pain. I have no insurance and do not have enough money to pay for the removals–it would be several thousand dollars. I just received word that I have a way to get all four teeth removed, free of charge to me! I am so thankful for God’s provision and am in awe!!”
