"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable." (Psalm 145:3)

Please send all praise reports to Pat

 

I want to say the Lord is Faithful and praise to His Holy name. I was granted sole custody of my 2 minor children and only God made this happen. Now my children will not be removed from here without my consent and they won't have to be with their father who was abusive to me and has a substance abuse problem.
Thank you Father!!!

Sherryann

I have been struggling for sometime and God blessed me. My finances are not where they should be, but I thanked God that I am on my way

Kristina

Thank You Lord, Thank You Jesus for making my grandmother better! Im so incredibly happy and grateful.

She broke her pelvis in her service flat. I prayed that night after I recieved the bad news and I said to the Lord: " please grant her more years, please make her not feel as much pain. Please Lord, let her be able to sit up, and with her zimmer frame and a nurse go wash her face, that would make a huge difference, and I will remember to thank you Jesus, and not do the same as those men who were healed from leprosy and didn´t come back to give you thanks.

I will be like that man who remembered you. You asked that man why the others didn´t come back to thank you. But you were grateful that he did come.

When you were on earth, you loved the people, you cared for them and you healed the sick, you do the same today, please make my grandmo! ther live some more years. And please heal her. And Lord, I am so sorry for all the sins I have commited and commit even now. Please make me clean so you can listen to my prayer and I can have a relation with you.

Thank you for making me clean, thank you for listening to my prayer and for answering it right now. I know you do. I have faith in you.

In Jesus name

Amen!"

Arpi

Thanks,

Rick

I want to thank the Lord for delivering me of my illness and for the
protection he placed upon the ones around me. I in no way desrrved His grace but He gave it anyway. seek his will and trust in Him and pray and know the Lord of all creation has not forgotten you and that simple faith can bring miracles greater that any problem you face.


Thank you for this website and be encouraged that God led me here and I am sure many have found hope here. God Bless You Pat !

Rick

I want to praise the Lord for delivering me from drugs and alcohol. I
celebrated my four year anniversary this month and I am so grateful for the light He has filled my life with and thank Him for the great darkness He lifted from me and all around me. if you or anyone you know is facing a similar issue, if all seems hopeless and lost, I want to encourage you to pray and put your faith and trust in him and know his mercy and Love is beyond all measure. Miracles are real and with tears of gratitude in my eyes I want to testify that the creator of the universe has not forgotten you and Loves you.

Rick

I want to praise the Lord for his goodness and encourage anyone who might feel as though things are to much or beyond help to keep their faith and trust in His Love. He has healed me from hepatits c. I have been clean for almost 2 years! His mercy is beyond knowing and his Love beyond measure. No matter what you are facing, trust in him and know that the very creator of the universe Loves you and is caring for you! Miracles happen and I can testify to this.

Phyliss

All honor, glory and praise go to my King who took the stripes for
healing! My autistic son, Kevin, 32, is so precious and has been
through so much. In an exray the Dr. said it showed a density and
shadow on one lung and a "bulging" on a vessel or artery which could be
serious and even require surgery. The Dr. thought it could be from
unequal pumping pressure on one side of the heart. After much prayer,
Praise Jesus forever, God heard our plea and brought us to Him through
His precious Holy Spirit. Kevin's detailed CT scan (70 pictures) showed
a clear lung and his ecogram showed the heart pumping just the way it is
supposed to pump!

I wish I had a thousand hands to raise in praises to
our King and a thouand tongues to praise Him, and believe me, that would
just be the beginning of my gratitude for Jesus' sacrifice for us.

Phyllis, Kevin's mom

1) Thank and praise the Lord and all thank all of his saints who lifted my brother up in prayer that my brother who was admitted to the ICU where he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes is doing MUCH better and has gotten his sense of humor back! He is being released from the hospital today!
2) Thank and praise the Lord Andy Altman, who had a life threatening bacterial infection is now showing NO SIGNS of a bacteria that had gotten into his muscles and doctors say there is NO MEDICAL EXPLANATION for the disappearance of the bacteria! He is still VERY sick and in need of prayer for his soul but his friend who wanted to minister to him got to him safely and is by his side! Thanks to all the prayer warriors who prayed on his behalf!
3) Thank and praise the Lord that both my sisters are walking fully with the Lord now and one has moved to a new apartment in a new county in Georgia where she can get a job and join a church.
4) Praise the Lord that He growing my business and my faith and trust in Him
5) Thank and praise the Lord He is keeping my son holy, on track and keeping a hedge of protection around him!


Thank you for this opportunity to make the Lord's deeds known among the poeple in accordance with I Chron. 16:8-9!

I'd like to thank the Lord for deliverance from depression and
medication for the disease, asthma and medication from the disease,
allergies, and, yes, medication for them, too! PRAISE THE LORD!

I'd also like to thank the Lord for continuing to bless my family and my
finances! He recently brought my sisters back to Him, my mother closer
to me and blessed my son. I'd like to praise Him for blessing my son
with success in Job Corps and keeping him a Godly young man and thank
Him as He continues to keep that hedge of protection around him. I thank
Him that He is drawing my father closer to Him as well as my other
sister and brother and pretty soon, we will all be bible believing
Christians allowing the Lord to love others through us!

THANK YOU JESUS FOR JUST BEING YOU!

Thank You Lord Jesus, for though I am not healed yet and I have doubts
about You and faith, I thank You for giving a stubborn perserverence,
when it comes to praying and asking for Your blessings and for You to
grant me my prayers. Thank You for even this small piece of faith that
is inside me. I have little doubt that I will ever cease praying to God
daily and I love to say nightly prayers with my children. Sometimes I
am afraid of saying Thank You Jesus, because I don't always feel like I
have been blessed with answers to my prayers, but I do thank You Jesus,
for bringing me one step closer to loving and believe that You know
everything about and that nothing that I think, do or feel is not known
by You and this is comforting to me. I love You Jesus and I certainly
love Love. I praise You as God's chosen One, the Living God and I thank
You already for sending Rudi home to me in renewed and stregthened love,
because You have heard my many prayers for my only love Rudi Mol, to
return home to his family. Thank You Jesus, for considering me Your
sister. Lotsa Love: Mrs. Sharon Mol (Holy Spirt, please instill in
me, a desire to heartfully thank sweet Jesus, every day.)
Amen

HI MY NAME IS TANYA I WANT TO THANK THE LORD FOR BEING THERE 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN MY MOTHER HAD HER HYSTERECTOMY. I THANK HIM FOR THE PEACE HE GRANTED US WHILE WE WAITED FOR THE TWO HOUR SURGERY WAS OVER. I THANK THE LORD SHE IS RECOVERING WELL I JUST WANT TO THANK JESUS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS HE DOES FOR ALL OF US. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I'd like to Thank the Lord for the massive change in my heart over the past 10 months, from one who was very angry at many people who hurt and/or abused me to one who has forgiven all. I am also thankful for the major blessing my Titus 2:3-5 has been to my life, especially after my teen son returned to live with me nearly 6 months ago after living with (and being traumatized by abuse by) his father for nearly two years.

Similarly, I'd like to praise God that He has blessed my relationship with my son and helped me be the kind of loving, supportive, nonconfrontational Mom I've always wanted to be and that He has given me the chance to help get my son on the right track in life before he turns 18 in May. The Lord is also restoring my son to both fellowship with Himself and wholeness from his father's abuse...He gave him the grace to forgive his father rather than remain angry towards him!

I'd like to thank and praise the Lord for restoring my family heritage to me to help me understand both who He made me to be and what my purpose, in large part, will be as I allow Him to live through me. I am thankful that I continue to learn about myself as I learn more about the people from whom I come and I'm thankful, too, not to feel pressure any longer to be someone God didn't make me.

I praise God because I'm am free from worldliness. The world no longer draws me and I'm careful, through His grace and obedience, not to allow anyone or anything into my life that threatens to drag me back into the world. Because of God's wondeful grace, I have wholly embraced Biblical womanhood and look forward to marrying my soulmate (with whom the Lord is also about to restore me to relationship with after several years, something I believed would not happen!) and being a wife in the Proverbs 31 sense of the word.

Finally, I'd like to praise and thank the Lord for transforming me from someone who worried about everything and got angry at Him for the circumstances in my life almost as often as I worried about those circumstances and is teaching me how to have faith and trust in Him. He has done this in part by sustaining me for these last 10 months, though I have not had a job or other 'formal' source of income but the charity and obedience of a loved one who has given sacrificially so that I can develop this powerful bond with Him. During this blessed time, the Lord has answered many prayers, big and small, spoken and unspoken.

I look forward to a continually blessed life for my son, myself and my future husband and a growing relationship with Him as well as to Heaven with them all because of the most precious gift of all, salvation through Christ Jesus.

Thanks and Praise to our Merciful Lord for all the many blessings received for our family this Holiday Season.

My Father who was given 2 weeks to live in the beginning of November is still with us without pain and seems to get stronger every day. He has stage 4 lung cancer with metatases to the pelvic area and the fluid around the brain. He had almost left us on Christmas Eve morning and through the power of prayer he came back to us. A week later he had pneumonia and almost left us again and through God's love and mercy is on his way to a recovery again. He has so much stregnth these days--sounds like the old Dad.

Thank you Lord for our most Blessed Christmas season ever!!!
Give all Honor and Glory to your name.
Let all your people find Your Peace, Joy and Happiness today and everyday.

Dear Pat,

I just had to let you know that I just prayed the prayer at the end of your sweet sad and touching story.

I'm writing this to you in between my tears, so if I misspell any words please forgive me.

I dont know how to thank you for showing me the way back to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, all I can say is:

PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD,

and thank you, thank you so much.

Your new babe in Christ Jesus,
Janice Stodola

 

PRAISE GOD GET A LOAD OF THIS REPORT !!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
Love your sister in the name of God Gloria Sherwood

Update 4-15-01, Easter Sunday
Lauren Pingel - age 3

   Sorry I have not written in so long. The change in time has really seemed to slow me down this year.
     Lauren has no IV's and only a dophoff tube for feeding. She was put on a nasal canula this morning and has been doing great all day. She was on a full oxygen mask before this morning. Her big brown eyes were so wide today when she was sat up in a wheel chair and got to ride to the hospital atrium,with her oxygen, where the sun was bright and the trees were green. Her little sister Jodi and her grandparents along with her parents and her nurse got to go with her. She was also given a small taste of cola, which she seemed to enjoy. After the little ride down stairs she was given a taste of pudding, jell-o, and ice chips. The nurse was happy with the way she accepted the food and knew the taste and texture. Her doctor is anxious to get her off of the feeding tube.She is still on some sedatives and they are continuing to wean these down. All of her medications are being given through the feeding tube. Her Doctor told us that she has the lungs of a 65 year old Emphysema patient.
     She is having a lot of therapy: Physical, Occupational and speech. She hasn't spoken that we are sure of, her Dad-dad Ross and her nurse thought they heard her say "Mom" a few days ago. She looks at us and seems to recognize us, but we aren't sure yet. An EEG was done on Friday to check for possible seizures and showed slow activity on the right side of her brain. This will take some time to correct and so will the movement and a lot of therapy, but she has come a million miles in the last few weeks. We are so thankful to see her beautiful brown eyes open again.
     There is no way we can thank you all for the many prayers, we know without a doubt that prayer has made the difference. Many have asked how to specifically pray for Lauren. Please pray for her brain to repair perfectly and for her muscles to become strong. Please pray for the strength of her Mamma and Daddy, it is so hard for them to see Lauren and remember the active, happy little girl she was only 4 months ago. So much pain and suffering for such a tiny baby and all because of one person running a stop sign. One second and one bad judgment action. But...she is doing better and she is alive.


Love,
Janace
Lauren's Momo

 

     I have gotten along so miraculously from this 1st surgery and I am not
depressed from having the lumpectomy done. The Lord has kept me lifted
up and has been right with me through every part of this ordeal. I give
ALL the THANKS, PRAISE AND GLORY to HIM, which my strength had to come only from HIM to do this well as fast.
      I plan to do as well after this 2nd surgery. I AM HAVING THE FAITH that HE will get me through just as fast as HE did this one. I want my experience to be a good example for HIM...to witness about the power that HE gives HIS children.

     Ricky's hearing that is scheduled for jan23rd. It went well on the 9th and he called his mother tonight and told her they have to drop the charges because he was charged illegally. Please keep praying for righteouness to overcome here.

     Barbara is praising the Lord for all the work He is doing in her friend Danny, she had asked us to pray quite awhile back and Danny is now on the road to recovery. Praise God!

      I want to take the rest of this space to give Glory to God for all He is doing and to tell my children how blessed I am by them. My daughter and son-in-law and granddaughter are coming for a visit from Michigan.

      Dawn just recently started a new job and I am glad for her.

     Todd is always a blessing to me and a great son-in-law to have.

     And of course Brittnee, well you know she blesses my heart in a very special way.

     My son David is graduating this semester from the community college and going on to USF in January. He has pressed in through a lot to accomplish this and he brings joy to my heart.

     My daughter Tammy will be graduating with her Master's Degree in Accounting this month and has a wonderful job lined up. Her husband, my other favorite son-in-law, is also a blessing to me and I thank him for being there for Tammy as she went through school.

     Last but not least there is my grandson, Austin, who along with Brittnee blesses my heart daily.

I have a lot to be thankful for this Holiday Season and I give the Lord all the praise and honor that only He is worthy of and for all the strength he has given them to persevere in spite of circumstances in their lives.

   Marian and Ralph are thanking God for the increase in their prayer group on Tuesday nights and now another one starting on Monday afternoons. Joann from New York is thanking God for all the work He is doing in her life.

     I am thanking God for Skip & Kathy and Keith and Kathy and Laura who all make it possible to get this newsletter on the web. Last month we hit a crisis situation and Keith who lives in Ft. Lauderdale helped Skip who lives in Michigan to overcome the works of the enemy and get the newsletter on the web despite all the problems. Laura is faithful every month in helping me to get the written publication out and I thank God for her. I also thank God for all of you who help to support this ministry with your prayers, gifts and encouraging letters. May the Lord bless you a hundredfold.
