PMB - read topic

I am one of the quiet ones on here, but I enjoy reading and praying over each and every one of you.

However, I do like to give God Praise for what He has been doing as well as encourage all of you to keep on doing what God has called you to do. He is deeply in love with you and He is faithful in all things.

In case some new people are here or anyone doesn't know where I am right now, I am in charge of Congregational Care for a fairly large church in our area. A few months ago one of our wonderful ministry team members and a faithful Congregational Care team member went home to the Lord in his sleep. His wife, now a widow was lost and had no idea what she was going to do. Many of our team members stepped up and really helped her out. She decided to move to Texas and live near her children and mother.

Last week she was scheduled to move and needed help loading a truck. Several weeks before I called upon as many men as I could and had quite a few guys ready to go. The day before she called me and asked if we were set. I told her we were and that I would call everyone to make sure. I made call after call after call and never was able to connect with anyone. I had one person call me back and said that work would prevent him from going.

The day of the move she gives me a call while I am at work. I also have to work a full time job to provide for my family. She was ready to get the truck but had no help. I told her not to worry, God will provide. I was being stretched, because honestly I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Nobody was calling me back. So she got the truck. She went home and nobody was there. She sat down on the curb looking at the truck and told God she got the truck, it is His turn. She told God either He was going to have to help load the truck or He would have to send somebody. A very short time after that, an army of men showed up to load her truck. By the time I got there, most everything was done and it only took a short bit longer to finish. We prayed over her, blessed her and sent her off. Praise the Lord! He is a faithful provider.

A woman was in the hospital for hip surgery and my wife and I received the call that she needed prayer. Often I send a team member and pray from where I am, but I felt the Lord was sending me on this one. So I found my wife and we went. When we got there we found out there were complications and that this person was going to be staying for several weeks. However, God wanted to show those doctors He is the healer. So, my wife and I prayed. Mostly my wife. We spoke over this woman and then encouraged her. I later sent another person to pray over her as well. 4 days later, she was released! God is our healer!

Lastly, I was ministering at a small church on Friday night. I brought a very anointed worship leader with me, knowing she was also anointed to pray for the sick. As we pull up, on the big sign in front of the church had our names in big letters and a message that said, "All who come WILL be healed" Yikes. God better show up or this is going to be a disaster. We went in and after getting setup we started to worship. And we continued to worship. After over an hour my assistant felt led to pray for the sick, and I felt led to continue to lead in worship. We did just that. At some point we switched places. All I knew is we could not stop our praise and worship of the Lord. And we didn't. The result? I received an email the next day with testimonies of heeling's! Thank you Lord! There was nothing I could do, it is all you Lord.

I want to encourage you all to continue in the work the Lord has called you. Make sure you pray often, meaning more than just daily. When I say pray, talk to God, but also listen. Fast. Fast often. Feast. Feast on His Word both day and night. Lastly know that Jesus is our Lord. Believe Him and you will see God's love prevail.
