MANNA FROM HEAVEN

It was a few minutes before time to open my business for the day. I was already extremely tired. I began to pray for strength that only The Lord could supply for me in the natural realm.. I needed both, spiritual and physical strength to be poured into my tired body. I began to quote the following bible scripture:

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13 (NIV Study Bible)

I said "Lord, I really need help from you today." I now was sitting at my kitchen snack bar under a fluorescent ceiling light. A sudden ping sound caught my attention. I looked up as if I was going to see something falling...when The Holy Spirit said "Look down". I did just that and then noticed to my surprise, a yellow glowing dime size circle on my white counter top. It seemed to be shimmering...radiating.... The above light became alot brighter than usual. I thought at first that perhaps SOMETHING had fallen out of the light fixture onto the counter...Wrong..

The Holy Spirit then instructed me to place my finger into the circle of light. When I did, the circle would increase in size going from a dime to the size of a quarter. When I would remove my finger, the circle of glowing light would decrease back to the original dime size. It was sof like liquid but to the touch felt like oil. It left no oily residue on my skin however.
I asked "Lord what is this?" His reply was "manna from heaven".

I suddenly found myself full of joy, strength and energy...I felt refueled, energized and once again ready to face the daily schedule of hair appointments. The Lord heard my prayer and He met my need.

In the bible manna is described as a unique food that The Lord fed his people while they were in the desert. We can only imagine HOW tired and hot they must have been.

The keeping of a sample of the manna in the ark for future generations suggests that it was a unique food. Exodus 16:33-34 (NIV Study Bible)

Then the Lord said to Moses, "I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. It is also referred to as "bread from heaven"
Exodus 16:4 (NIV Study Bible)

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 (NIV Study Bible)

No prayer need is too small to send up to the heavens...Holy Ghost hotline open 24hours...just make your call to someone who CARETH for you.

LOST & FOUND

Have you ever misplaced an item dear to your heart and feared it to be lost forever? In the past when this would happen, I would usually stress out and do everthing in my power to find it. How many steps have you retraced HOPING to find that necklace, or even maybe one of your favorite writing pens? Well, I have many times in my life.

Several years ago I had bought a bangle watch that I just loved. Approximately 2 years later I lost it. I did everything I could to find it, with no results. I even went back to the original place to try and purchase another one just like it. It had been discontinued...I gave up...that was it...I just had to accept that it was gone. I went on about my daily business and eventually it wasn't in my thoughts anymore.

A year later, my oldest son purchased a new truck and wanted me to go for a ride with him. Once the tour was over, I was preparing to get out of the truck when....The Holy Spirit instructed me to stop and then look into the side door panel BEFORE getting out. There it was..., my lost watch....I could hardly believe my eyes, and it was still ticking and had the accurate time.

For a few minutes, I was in awe...ONLY GOD could have returned it to me in this way after all of this time. Beyond a shadow of any doubt, this was my watch. It worked for another year. year. I saved it as a reminder that "With God all things are possible."

Now when I lose or misplace something, this is my prayer "Lord, I am not going to stress out or worry. I know that you will return it to me if it is meant to be." Just a couple of weeks ago, I lost one of my REAL gold hoop earrings that I had purchased just recently. Real gold is rare in my earring collection.This was my first purchase..Before panic could set in, a perfect calmness came over me and I once more laid it at the throne of God...and said my simple prayer and went on to work. Yes...I found the earring when I go home. The Holy Spirit told me to look down and there it was MAGNIFIED so that I could SEE it on the floor...Thank you Lord again!

When you truly TURN your worry over to God, He will make make a way where there SEEMS to be no way...Take it to the throne room... lay it down...and let God be in control of your situation small or large. Let Him be your way maker.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 (KJV)

Has God taken an impossible situation in your life and turned it around and make it possible? Then send it in for others rejoice with you.

FOLLIES OF THE YOUTH

You can't put an old head on young shoulders. For many years I really didn't understand what my sweet grandmother had been trying to tell me all along. NOW that I am older, I can really grasp her meaning to this one liner. "As we get older, we learn WISDOM." Time does change things. Seasons come and go and we have to grow with the change. That's life...

As parents we TRY to guide our children down the right path. They think that we are just trying to control their life, and in a way they are right. We are just being parents who want to keep our children from making the same mistakes in life that maybe some of us did.

Dead flies will cause even a bottle of perfume to stink! Yes, a small mistake can outweigh much wisdom and honor. A wise man's heart leads him to do right, and a fool's heart leads him to do evil. Ecclesiaties 10: 1-2 (The Living Bible)

Some mistakes go on record and can never be erased. People in jails and prisons know this to be true. HOWEVER, I am here to testify that even that situation can be turned around with God in your life. I am sure that a few of you reading this blog know that personally or know someone who can relate to this topic.

Grandmother always said that they make us laugh when they are young, and they will make us cry when they are old. I asked her one day, "When do we stop worrying" and she calmly replied "When we die." That wasn't the answer that I was hoping for, but so clear in meaning.

Keep God's Word in your life and you WILL overcome whatever trial that you may have to go through. I have come to understand the personal meaning of the following bible verse within this last year regarding one of my children.

Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)

No matter what trials we may have to endure, physical, spiritual or emotional...Keep God and His word near your heart to see you through and then take you on to the next season of your life with a smile...

Are you a true believer? Who are you praying for? Do you still believe in MIRACLES? I do !

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark: 10:27 (KJV)

What miracle are you waiting on? How is your faith being applied in regard to it..

SPOKEN HEALING

As a christian, we should always try to encourage others to believe God's written word for all of their needs. You can find resource scriptures listed in the concordance of your bible. Read the truth for yourself to get all of your answers. As we read and continue to grow in our knowledge of the Word of God, we also learn how to pray for our personal needs and for other also. God's Word will never return void to the believer. Read it, use it, quote it and most of all, believe it to be true when ever a need may arise in your life.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven....
Ecclesiates 3:1 KJV

Have you ever noticed that most of our serious medical needs seem to come after business hours? Most emergency needs happen in the midnight hours leading into the next morning. How many trips have you made to the hospital emergency room on the weekends?

My right leg had been bothering me all day and it was now closing time for my beauty shop. By 5 p.m . the pain was now moving down my leg from my knee and ending at the ankle. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go to the hospital. I had already had a very a similar experience like this in the past. These symptoms felt very familiar. The pain was now becoming severe.

Because of my current financial status, the hospital trip would option number 2. First I was going to try and pray the pain away. I didn't have any kind of insurance coverage at this time. I had no extra money. I desperately needed a healing touch from God.

I walked, I prayed, and I quoted all healing scripture that I could possibly recall. I got dressed, I got undressed...I sat, I stood, and I continued to pace the floor while praying for help during a 3 hour span. The pain was still increasing and I needed relief and soon. I was growing very tired. I even gave my affliction a name and then asked God to remove it IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

It was now around 1:30 am and I was even quoting scripture telling the devil to leave me alone. I said "Lord, I have had enough, nothing seems to be helping." I didn't know what else I could do but to go ahead and call an ambulance to come pick me up....WHEN....a still small voice instructed me to sit down. I did so. I was told to place my hand on my knee where the pain was, the pain went away. I moved my hand a little further down the placing my hand now on the calf. The pain went away. I then did the same on the ankle and once more the pain left. It was an amazing warm and numbing feeling. Each time that my hand would touch...the area...the pain immediately would leave.. All pain was now gone .WOW! I then sat there in awe. I asked God "What has just happened?" His rely was "I have just given you the gift of healing". Well, I know that there was pain and now there was no more pain. I then asked " Lord WHY did He let me go through so much suffering for so long?" His reply was "Because I know that you have to know beyond the shadow of any doubt that it was me healing you. When you had no more strenth in yourself, that is when I made you well". O.K. God what am I supposed to do now I asked.?" He replied "Speak my Word and they shall be healed".

Within a short period of time, my first assignment came the next day. At the Sunday morning church service, I had noticed a lady with alot of cotton stuffed in both of her ears. It seemed to be sticking out of both of her ears. I then heard her share with some ladies after church that she was in severe pain and needed prayer. I was about to leave WHEN the ladies motioned for me to join them. I said OK Lord,what am I supposed to do? I opened my bible and my eyes fell on this scripture. The Lord said "This will be your healing scripture to quote WHEN I annoint you to pray for the afflicted." As we gathered together, some with their hands on her while we prayed, I quoted the bible scripture written below.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Psalms 34:19 KJV

After the prayer time was over, the lady declared that all of her pain was gone. The only thing that I told her was that she had been healed not because we had prayed, but because she had believed. It was God's word and her faith that had made her well, not me or us. All things are possible to those who believe. There many other testimonies like this where only God's word needed to be spoken and many people were healed.

They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
KJV Mark 16:18
