Miracles...

This has been a powerful week with several significant testimonies of God's power of deliverance being manifest.  This past Sunday afternoon, during the service here at Jacob's Well, Guest Speaker James Nesbit organized a Prayer Tunnel.  Glenda and I were part of the team that ministered for the next 90 minutes to needs of those who came.  There were several testimonies of those who received blessing.  One young lady received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  A young boy named Noah gave his heart to the Lord.  One man was overcome by the presence of the Lord and was slain in the Spirit for quite some time.  His response to what the Lord had done was awesome.  Several gathered around a prayer cloth for a child who was seriously ill in a local hospital.  The doctor was concerned that this precious child may not survive her illness, but the Lord ministered deliverance to her and she came home from the hospital after having been hospitalized for several days.  The doctor was amazed at the results!

Last evening, Glenda ministered in a Women's Meeting at Good Shepherd A/G in Evansville, IN.  After teaching the word of the Lord, Glenda ministered to those present with awesome results of the manifestation of God's delivering power.  It was a great evening even though the storm was raging outside.

Last week, during the conference in Toronto, God ministered to me in a very special manner, helping me to release several years of frustration, and the unforgiveness that had tormented me for some time.  It was refreshing to walk in the freedom of the Lord as He used several people to minister to me.  It was so exciting to have people who I had never known come to me and share with me words of strength and encouragement.  Pastor Shane prayed for me on Tuesday evening and the Lord healed me of an injury that has caused a great deal of pain to me for over 12 years.  There has been no pain since!  PTL!

As I ministered to those people in the prayer line on Sunday, the gift of the word of knowledge and the gift of prophecy were stirred up and for the first time in several months, I had liberty to flow in the manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit.  The hunger of the people was astounding as we worshiped together.

I believe that we are on the move toward a greater anointing during 2008.  I hope that you will be encouraged to allow the Holy Spirit to draw you to Himself and enable you to overcome the powers of the enemy.  "Greater is He that is in you!"

Whatever you do, seek after Him with all of your heart, and allow your spirit to be more sensitive to Him during this year of new beginnings!  We love you!  We look forward to hearing from you from time to time.  Be blessed!

CARRY ON!
