Hi! Loretta! I know - long time since I "spoken" been thru some heavy duty storms, but I praise God! Before, I post this, I wanted to check with you first - It's such an awesome glorious praise report of Our God working a wondrous work thru so many people - with so many needs - confirming - and re-confirming - that it was not this cracked ol lady - but He - himself! It started last Sunday 4/7/02 - my sister instead of coming to our regular church service, went instead with a young lady friend, who God used first, to get my sister - she went and knew there was something special about this pastor, and she was even wondering about his statement - repeated 3x's that she was chosen. Anyway, she comes home, tells me all about it. She really wanted to go again on Tues nite, his next service. I didn't really give an answer, because I knew that this young lady just doesn't like me, or cares to be in my company. Tues comes, 4/9/02, I go to work late afternoon, my sister comes home early. When I got home, it was near 7:00 P.M. she was fidgeting in the trunk of her car, maybe she was waiting for me - I don't know - anyway - here it really begins! Praise God! I suddenly felt like a push towards her car as she was pulling out of the driveway - and in a curious way - which she knows it wasn't my way of asking - I asked where she was going, she said to the meeting - then I said can I tag along, as we went one block, I told her it's best to drop me back home as the friend would get upset with me tagging along. Mary said - it's too bad, she's got to understand she can't always have me alone all the time. Sure enough , tyree got very upset, she walked way ahead of us, in the car she wouldn't even talk to me - so we got to the meeting. This pastor began to speak about the jeremiah ministry which in this 12 1/2 yrs of walking with my Lord, has been confirmation to the call God has placed upon me. Then in speaking/teaching he stated that Jeremiah was a messenger, and the pastor had looked straight at me, I whispered to my sister before he got into it, that he was a prophet, as he kept talking it reavealed that he was spiritually wounded by white people/religion,etc. Another time, he looked straight at me and said a mother's tears are always heard. Here is My God! Everyone went up to put their offering in, they were anointed and prayed for/with. I stayed back - I had no money - then this pastor/prophet asked if he could anoint and pray for me - Suddenly, I went to him and stated that I had a word for him and that I needed to anoint him, he said go ahead - Praise God! God took over, I went on my knees, anointed his feet, words came thru me, and everyone knew it was God, so many confirmations! Then the Holy Spirit addressed to the wounded little boy - the day before this pastor had $100.00 bill, he wanted to break it and spend it, but God said no - hold on to it. He also was in a Christian bookstore and he was crying and couldn't understand why. On Monday, I had received a letter from my publisher that the $200.00 check I sent bounced, that he wanted $200.00 + $30.00 for the bank fee + $59.00 balance from the first half fee to have the book published that came to $290.00, + I still had to pay $98.00 for my car insurance, so I was crying to God that I'm not ever going to be able to get His book published. So Tues nite this pastor/prophet stated that God had just told him to give me the $100.00, then he tells everyone that if they wanted and felt led to sow seeds into the work God has for me. Loretta - all my hands were filled with money from so many people giving to me, and it added up to $280.00 exactly! Praise God! To me it was confirmation that God wanted me to give 90% to His storehouse - his church He placed me in - and I keep the 10%. God had given me 90% of what I needed for the book, I just had to add the $10.00. My sister was just blown away! Tyree realized the impact of God using her, to get Mary, to get me for this one moment/one night!!! Sure, enough the enemy came Wednesday night and stole $100.00 from the money I had in my purse, because I wanted to show my pastor this wondrous miracle! But guess what! Today - God thru a couple in my church gave me a check for the amount of $280.00! Is this or is this a PRAISE REPORT!!!!!!! Hallelujah! So, if this is O.K. to post - would you put this on the board - just maybe - there will be some-one desparetely needing God to work a miracle in their situation will be strenghtend and encouraged by this!!! I'll try to get active - but I do read all that is shared - you and all the members bless me so much! God bless and keep you in His loving care! |
