Answered prayers this week!

I had to take a few minutes to let you know of some awesome things that God has done this week.  He is still in the business of answering prayer!

While getting ready for service tonight in the office, a lady who is in our church came in and starting explaining a miracle that happened in her life this week.  Sunday night she came down to the front for prayer.  I had just mentioned how that all it takes is simple faith and then expect an answer.  Shereé Bean had also testified about miracles that she has just seen take place.  This lady was on oxygen and has been for some time now.  When she returned to her seat, her lungs began hurting, so she took the oxygen tube off and the pain went away.  She came to the office to tell me that she has not been on oxygen since!  She had a doctor's appointment and they told her that she was at a 96% oxygen level which is unbelievable for her without using the oxygen tank!  She said she has not been able to walk anywhere in her house without the tank - but now she was free of it!!  Thank the Lord!

Also, one of our ladies came up to me after service and told me of another miracle that happened tonight.  When leaving her work today, a gentleman that she had been inviting to church, suddenly told her that he would see her tonight in service.  He said that he was needing an answer from God.  She was so excited that he was there.  After our Bible Study tonight, he approached her and said that he had chill bumps.  He got the answer that he needed.  I began a series, "Thirty Keys to Wisdom" from Proverbs 22 and it included the key:  "Never co-sign a note for someone."  He could not believe that I talked about this because that was exactly what he needed an answer about!  All I can say is that God knows exactly what we need and when we need it!  You don't very often hear a preacher say, "Never co-sign a loan!"  But tonight someone really needed it.  This gentleman will never forget the time that God talked directly to him and where he was!  Isn't God awesome?!

Keep asking, believing AND expecting.

Oh wow, I love hearing about what God is doing! I'm sure that gentleman about fell out of his chair when you mentioned co-signing (and the rest of the church was like what??)! God is so good!

God is so AWESOME! Thanks for reminding us that He is still on the throne daily doing miracles. We experience so many sometimes, that we take them for granted.

That's pretty cool about that man. I must say that I was shocked about the whole co-signing thing. I knew it was bad, but Biblical, wow! Learn something new everyday!
