Changing the Atmosphere

Kelly told of her helping a friend get some excess work done at her flower shop.  While she was working she was praying for God's blessing and favor on the buisness and declaring God's peace over the business and people as they came and went.  One of the people who worked there stated that it felt so great in the shop today.  It felt so peaceful that she did not want to leave.  The phone rang off the hook and people were coming in and overwhelming them with buiness.  Changing the atmosphere eh?

Acid Reflux Healed

For weeks prior Sharon had suffered from Acid Reflux.  At her Life Group she was prayed for.  While being prayed for that evening it started to subside and by the time she got home it was gone totally and has not returned.  Thank you Jesus. 

Greater Expectation

In Sunday's service Stephen led a prayer time where he asked if there was anyone in the audience that wanted a move of God in thier life for a variety of reasons.  He had them stand and then had the rest of the people become the ministry team.  7 people raised thier hands and said that they expereinced something shift physically in them or around them when the people were praying.  Now we wait and see what the shifting is.  God is building expectation.

Wrist Healed via Email

Lisa emailed the church office about having pain in her wrist.  The office staff prayed for her via email and she reported back that her wrist is doing fine.

I Got the Job!

I would like to thank all of you guys for your prayers...they have been very good and effective for me.  Today, I received a call from Nike and, officially, I will be starting my training this Monday...I got my second job !!!  Keep praying..."the reason for the prayers being answered is that God's presence is among us".

Prayer Works

Thanks for praying yesterday. I had a sore back for the last few days from working hard and carrying Ben a lot. Without prior knowledge of a situation you prayed for rest and relaxation of muscles and waves of heat came through my back. After the prayer pain was gone and I could pick up Ben no problem. I am pain free today- praise the Lord.

Can You Believe It?

Me ear was fine after prayer today and I was jumping for joy, but in the evening it started to act up even worse and continued through the night. I just kept claiming what Jesus had done in my healing. It is fine again today, and I am still praying.
 
My work has been struggling and I came for prayer.  It is unbelievable. Work is pouring in from every avenue. New clients are calling daily and old ones returning. On average I maybe get 6 new calls a year,and now I have 7 new clients just in a last month and I just got a call from a property management company that I have to return, it is possible that I might get multiple houses.Thank you for the prayers at the church staff meetings, they are definitely answered! Praise God!

I'm Finally Getting It

I have something exciting I want to share. Last week I asked Kate to pray for my business, since it was falling apart. As she was praying she sensed that it is a attack from the enemy to distract my attention from God. And she hit the bull's eye with this. I told her that I knew it, because despite being at my lowest with the business, I am at the highest ever with God and somebody does not like it. 
 
 I am finally getting it. It took me 4 years. All the barriers and lies that kept me from experiencing God are shattered. One of them was the guilt that I do not know Bible enough, another was the discovery that I am severely left brained  (test that we did in our Communion with God study). I thought I would never be able to hear God. It haunted me for 2 years. Yet another one was lack of faith. It was a long way coming from an 'educated' atheist to someone who believes that we came from Adam and Eve and that people lived well in their 500's once upon the time. Or that God can heal people through others.  The idea of speaking in tongues or raising the dead was way out of my range!  But then God healed a few people through me. It revealed to me that I was worthy for Him to work His glory though me. 
 
 A month ago at a conference I experienced a powerful worship time and I received more truth and declared what He already has given me- the power to understand His grace and love.  
 
 Before I just felt self righteous- a pharisee who knew the law and could condemn others if they did not live by the principles of the Bible. Now I know I am not to judge, but to love people and help them discover the truth. All of the sudden Bible speaks to me again. Logos becomes Rhema.  It is like it was written personally for me! I am at peace that I can not explain, although the circumstances around me are just overwhelming. I feel like I should be crying, but no tears are coming out I am just at peace.

 

 

 

About Face

I was walking my dog with Kate (who is the coolest woman EVER!!!) a little over a week ago and I was telling her about what an "about-face" my life has taken in the past year.  I was telling her that my relationship with God has really changed and that has, in turn, changed me.  
 
I no longer feel condemned and because of that, I am free again.  I don't live in constant fear (of judgment, wrath and eternal damnation).  When I first started coming to One Community Church the pastor was talking about just being in alignment (agreement) with God and this sharing with His heart has changed me into someone who is able to know and do God's will without hesitation - -  rather than my constant rebellion that only led to heartache.  I'm not constantly in a battle with myself and with others.  I'm so much more at peace.  I trust God again and am convinced that he is truly good, which is something I knew as a kid, but unlearned along the way.  I like the gentle way that the leaders @ ONE invite people to be in agreement with God.  It's not based on fear and so it's genuine and longer lasting.  God doesn't condemn us - we do.  I have lived the better part of the last decade condemning myself and I can't believe that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Things are really changing for me.  Doors are opening and what I'm seeing behind them are things that I never imagined.  People were saying that they were seeing changes in me, but I never felt it until just recently. 
 
I had a dream the other night.  It was intense and vivid.  There were a row of planes in the sky, like you normally see.  It was daytime.  One plane sped up and was getting ahead of the line of planes in front of it.  Clearly, it was in distress.  Next thing was a horrible sound coming from the plane and then the plane began falling from the sky.  It was crashing and coming right at me.  There was nowhere for me to run.  It was too big and coming too fast - there was absolutely no escape, so I didn't even try.  At the very last second, the plane pulled up and narrowly avoided hitting me.  It crashed into a building further away. 
 
I told two of my work friends about this dream and they interpreted it to mean that I avoided disaster by walking away from my previous relationship.  I think it means more than that.  I think it has to do with my avoiding disaster but it's bigger than just that relationship.  Perhaps it has to do with avoiding disaster by sticking with God instead of doing all of the things the world does to distract itself from fear, doubt, etc. (things that I would normally have done).  I don't know, but that was an intense dream. 
 
So, I just wanted to tell you that the people of "One" have made a difference in my life.  I am connected again.  I am learning to trust again and I am happy again. 

 

 

 

OK God I heard You

It was encouraging to hear a sermon about God the provider and funny you had mentioned Miracle House (a mission orphanage we support) during service, because just a week ago God provided for Miracle House through me. 

About a month ago I was walking past the offering box for Miracle House Children's Homes at church and I felt moved to give all the money that I had in my wallet. OK, I was thinking I would have $20 at the most. Well, I opened the wallet and there was $400 (I had forgotten to make a trip to the bank a day before).  I found an excuse to discount the impression from God and didn't give.
