Days of Prayer & Fasting |

Rev. AH, New York: There are so many! I
have friends who needed a car. They were given one - a very nice one!
Free! Also they received a cash gift to pay their taxes - $1,200! JP,
who was critically wounded in Iraq, is recovering! Doctors say, “It’s
a miracle!” My brother-in-law is home from hospital! So many more!
God is faithful if we pray believing!
Rev. IM, Tennessee: The entire 40 days
was a time of exercising our faith, trusting God to meet the special needs
of the people and a time to renew our consecration to our precious Lord.
Pastor HK, South Carolina: The Lord is
blessing our church with new members. Souls are being saved. Also we will
be moving into another sanctuary soon. To God be all the glory! Miraculous
things are happening.
Rev. ET, Wisconsin: The Lord provided us
a way to go to a special convention in Green Bay and I was financially
blessed there.
Pastor MP, New York: We have joined up
with another church that is being disbanded and is going to bring ministries
into our church. We have been praying for 1 year now and talking with
Pastor and board, so we have decided to join up and do the work of God
together.
Pastor of a New Congregation: First of
all I want to let you know that 10 people joined me including all the
children. We had no secretary, God provided. God provided a place. Also
the Board at the church we are renting said that they would re-evaluate
and see what they could do for us. They came back with $200 less of the
monthly rent. All that took place during our fasting and prayer with all
of you. More wonderful things happened during our mission trip.
Dr. RS, Massachusetts: A man in India had
been paralyzed for 4 years. I took authority over the paralysis, cursed
its existence in the name of Jesus, took the man by the hands and said,
“In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk!” Immediately he arose
and walked, and 8 months later they found him working and holding a job.
Rev. TL, Florida: We are working through
some very difficult financial situations in our transition from New Jersey
to Florida. I thank the Lord for remarkable peace. Through the storm,
I have entered into praise in the storm even as I praise Him in the peaceful
times. I will continue to pray and praise the Lord for answers as He enables
me.
Rev. RB, Minnesota: Praise the Lord for
answered prayer from our recent short-term mission trip to the Casa de
Niños in Tepic, Mexico. Blessings for an incredible team of men,
women and teens. For safety in our travels and changed lives from the
outreach experience.
Rev. CP, Minnesota: Jesus supernaturally
opened doors for ministry outreach. First outreach was with Minister White
August 29th in Ponsford and then we went to Fargo to minister. Minister
White is a very anointed prophet and teacher whom Jesus has ordered my
steps to support and stand with in prayer, protection, etc.
Rev. PF, Texas: Recently, my son came to
visit. This was the first time he was under my roof in almost 9 years.
God has restored our relationship after 9 years of praying for restoration.
Rev. JH, Washington: Life Changes Ministry
has been blessed with a building in the inner-city Everett, Washington.
This answered prayer comes with providential miracle after miracle of
new floors, painted walls, and an electrician who shows up and says, “God
said I need to help JH.” Wow! God is on the move!
WB, Texas: Our ministry outreach exploded
and grew substantially here in San Angelo, Texas.
Youth Pastor: My pastor’s daughter
and I went to New Guinea (Nueva Guinea) Nicaragua on a short term mission
trip for 10 days with 23 others. The trip was youth focused. We ministered
in dance routines and drama. The nationals preached the messages. We were
at 17 different locations. We reached over 6,000 people (youth and adults),
2517 were saved, 500 came forth for healing, and 484 came for problems
in their lives. God blessed all that went on in the 5 days of focused
ministry. One lady brought her 3 year old daughter. The child could not
focus in sight, nor keep her head still. She could not stand, nor walk.
The doctors told the mother that the child would never be healed--but
God! but God! intervened. We began to pray for the child--God broke me
on the spot and let me know to lift the girl to Him in the air to be healed.
I did that, still crying and praying. Then I held her close to me. She
stopped moving her head--focused those pretty eyes on me. I was excited.
I kissed her on the head and continued to just love on her. I gave her
back to her mother and told her, “God was healing her and it would
be alright.” I then moved away from the crowd and continued to cry
and pray for the little girl. All of a sudden one of the students cried
out, “She’s standing! She’s standing!” What a
miracle! God is right on time. Her mother said she’d never done
this before. God is so good.
Rev. RA, Indiana: In forty days, I was
only focusing my prayer on about 160 of our 1,100 members. Even though
I only know 2 of the 1,100 members, I tried to picture myself kneeling
along side each one, praying and sharing. I felt a real sense of discipline
which was satisfying unlike any other in my life. The fasting only made
me want to pray harder and longer. Since the 40 days officially ended,
I have kept this momentum going being committed to continue this daily
prayer time until all the members of the fellowship have been prayed for
individually. I must say, this has not been a sacrifice or an inconvenience,
but a source of great strength as I continue my journey of faith.
