Here’s a note I got from one of the family at Life Christian Church: Two of the people I prayed for last night had instant changes!!! Praise God! One had a lump on the back of his head which immediately got smaller and the other I told to walk around (I prayed for his leg) and after the meeting he said it was looser and he could actually straighten it all the way! PRAISE JESUS! Wanted to make sure you knew!
God is doing some amazing things here at Life!
During our prayer and fasting in January, Pastor Marie asked us to make a list what was lacking and what was debt. On my list was: To get my drivers license, pay back my loan, find a place to live, and buy a car.
7 days later, I got my driver’s license, and one week later, I had the money to pay back my loan for my plane ticket. (My loan was $1000.00) Two months later, a friend and I found a place to live, and the best part is that we didn’t need the co- signer to lease our apartment. Then, I bought my car, I paid six months of my car insurance, and I also paid $650.00 for my school.
In less than five months I got everything that was on my list. Sometimes things look like impossible for us, but with God everything is possible. So, declare the word of God, have a relationship with Jesus, be strong in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
My job as an Insurance Adjuster requires being licensed in several states. I received a final notice of non-compliance from the state of Florida. I never received the first letter and had no idea that I wasn’t in compliance. I called the Department of Insurance and I was informed that I needed 24 credit hours and my employer would have to pay $250 fine. The original letter was mailed and went to an old P.O. Box no longer used by my employer. After praying over this situation, the Lord reminded me that I completed continuing education classes for the state of Texas, and Florida will accept these credits. I called Florida again and a gentleman told me to fax my Texas License Certification and the state will update their records. According to the Word, God will perfect those things that concern us and this was a definite concern…and God did what He said!
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism at age 8. I was told that I would have to take medication for the rest of my life. The medication helped some, but I still had symptoms of my thyroid being off. So, as I got older I would tell the doctors but they wouldn’t listen. They would say that it was within range, but my body told me otherwise. So, I started looking into it and found different medications, side-effects of the medications, and symptoms of it being off. I was not sure what to do, none of the options seemed to be the answer that I was looking for. So, I started to pray. I prayed one day and told the Lord, “God I know that this is not how you created me to be. Your Word says that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Lord, I don’t know what to do with this. I know that you can heal. It is Your will to heal me. Just show me what to do.” Then truthfully I kind of forgot about it. Then, one Sunday morning I was in church just singing and praising God during the worship music. When God told me to pray. He said, “Pray for a release of strongholds, victory, peace, healing, and restoration.” He then told me to pray it for His church. So, I did. However, I was just thinking spiritual. I had no idea what was truly happening.
So, another two weeks or so went by, and then one night I was in my room sitting on my bed reading the Bible, praying, and just spending time with God when He spoke to me again. This time it seemed stern. He said, “Didn’t I tell you to pray for a release of strongholds, victory, peace, healing, and restoration?” I said yes, God. I did.” I was confused. He said, “I want to heal you. So, pray.” I felt such a spirit of conviction and love come over me. I had forgotten my prayer, but God had not! At the same time that this feeling came over me, He brought to my remembrance my prayer from awhile back. I just said, “God I am so sorry I have forgotten what I asked.” So, I prayed, “In the name of Jesus for a release of strongholds, victory, peace, healing and restoration in my mind, body, soul, and spirit, in Jesus’ name, Amen!” He said, “Now walk by faith.” For me I felt convicted to only trust and lean on God only and not my medication. So, I flushed it down the drain. I came back into my room and prayed. He said, “See it is not my will that you be this way. It is My will to heal that and make you whole! Do you trust me!” I said, “Lord just as the man who went to You to heal his son said, ‘I believe, but help my unbelief.’ because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. My spirit says, ‘I know You can.’ But my flesh says, ‘but will You.’ Even my Faith is a gift from You, Lord. Increase my faith. You are my strength when I am weak.”
Some people worried and wanted me to get blood work done to test and make sure I was ok. I did not want to get tested from out of doubt and fear, but rather as a testimony. I prayed that when the time was right that God would show me. About a year or more later, I had gotten so use to not taking medication and I was feeling good that I almost forgot about it. It came up and I got it tested. I got my blood work back and read that I was in normal range and that there was “no need for medication!” I had proof of what God had done in my body and my life! I was and am healed!!! Praise God! I was so happy I screamed, and then called and shared the praise report! God is so good!
“Surely they may forget, but I will not forget you!” Isaiah 49:15
God is bigger than the problem! 
2012 has started out with a bang. We are only 11 days into the new year and God is on the move!
January 1st we launched our CTWG series and God spoke to us about His plans for His church in 2012.
As many of us met and prayed in homes last week, God began to reveal His heart to us in a fresh way confirming His plan to bless His people.
Last Wednesday, we worshiped and prayed corporately.
On Friday, we worshiped and interceded for the church and the lost. The Spirit of God spoke to us to do the offering differently. We invited the people forward to place their seed on the alter so we could pray over it. As we prayed, the Spirit of God spoke said He was going to give us a 100 fold return on those seeds! We rejoiced in expectation of the faithfulness of God.
Sunday, the Spirit of God moved in a powerful way and we found ourselves at the altar believing God to break the chains off of our lives.
By MONDAY, we received our first testimony of 100 fold return! A woman had sown $7 in the offering on Friday. On Monday she received a check for $700! That is exactly 100 fold! Thank you Jesus!
What an amazing start of 2012! What do you need God to do in your life this year? What are you believing for? Let’s continue to stay consistent with our time with God! Lets press in so we can hear His voice more clearly this year than ever before! We love you and believe that God is going to show Himself strong on your behalf this year. We expect miracles.
