My Testimonies

Got Milk!

My husband and I had just moved onto the military base in California, when my twins turned one-year-old. I didn’t know anyone there, so I mostly stayed inside my apartment. Money was very scarce for us at this time. We were absolutely broke and had 3 days to go until payday. I had recently changed my boys from formula to whole milk, and they had just drank the last of the milk, when I laid them down to take their nap. I knew when they woke up, they would want another bottle and I had absolutely no milk and no money to buy it. While they were sleeping, I sat on the couch and started crying. I didn’t know what I was going to do, so I started praying to God, to help me in this matter. As I sat there crying out to God for help, someone knocked on my front door. I got up, wiped my face off and opened the door. There was a lady standing there with a gallon of milk in her hand. She asked if I needed some milk, because her husband had picked up a gallon on his way home from work and she had also stopped and bought milk too, and there was no way they could drink that much milk before it would ruin. I stood there in total shock. I thanked her over and over as she handed me the milk. When she walked away, I shut the door and fell directly on my knees, thanking God for what he had just done for me. This was one of the most amazing things that had ever happened to me. I hadn’t even finished praying and God had already answered my prayer. He sent a neighbor who I didn’t even know to bring me some milk. This is the loving God that I serve. He is amazing! He is concerned about everything that concerns each and every one of us.

Side effects

I’ve had stomach problems all my life. I believe stress as a little child caused me to have some serious issues later in life. I will speak more on that at another time. But to make a long story short, I had to get on medication for my stomach because I had acid reflux really bad. After being on this medication for 2 years, it seemed to stop working. I was getting very nauseated at night when I would lay down to go to sleep, and I also thought I was going blind because my vision had become so blurry. I started praying and asking the Lord to show me what was going on. That night I had a dream. I was standing in front of a man and he said to me, “that pill you think is helping you, is really hurting you!” When I woke up from this dream, I started thinking about the pills I was taking, Tylenol and my stomach pill. The next morning, I called the drug company that makes the stomach medication I was taking. I told him the symptoms I was having, and that I was really concerned about my vision, because I thought I was going blind. After he did some research, he found that blurry vision was a side effect and also nausea. He immediately told me to stop taking this pill, and call my doctor and tell them that I am allergic to proton pump inhibitors, which is what this drug was considered to be. He also told me that I was not even supposed to be on this drug but just for a short term, because it was not a long-term drug. I had been on it for 2 years which was way over the limit. So I immediately stopped taking this drug, and my eyesight cleared up and the nausea went away. I’m so grateful to the Lord for telling me exactly what my problem was. This experience helped me to realize, that I do not need to put my faith in man, and I need to do my own research when it comes to medications, because the doctors are just practicing medicine as well. We should pray about any medications and be led by the Spirit of God in every situation. If you’re on medications and you’re having issues ask the Lord if it’s possibly side effects from it, he will tell you what you need to know.

Learn from my mistakes

Back in my 30’s, I had been suffering from leg pain down both of my legs for several years. I went to every doctor you can imagine, but no one had any answers. I prayed and prayed for God to heal me but I was getting no relief. I even had a hysterectomy thinking this was what was causing my leg pain, because a doctor suggested it. After I recovered from that surgery, the pain in my legs still continued. The last doctor that I went to, suggested electric shock therapy down both of my legs. I decided that I was done with the doctors, because they had no clue what was going on and they were just guessing. I needed answers because the pain was at times very debilitating. I found myself crying out to God one night while I was in serious pain, and I heard him speak the words “flip flops”! I immediately got on my computer and looked to see if flip flops were bad for your feet, and of course it talked about how they can cause all kinds of leg problems and feet problems. I about fell out for a moment, because I thought after all this time and money I spent at the doctors offices and even the surgery, and it was flip flops!!! Really??? But I did realize, that I never asked God what the problem was, I just asked him to heal me. I stopped wearing flip flops and my leg pain stopped. I then began to notice, that it was very important to wear insoles in my shoes, by doing this I’ve had no more leg pain. I learned through all of this, that I need to ask God, if I am doing something that is causing my problem, while seeking my healing. This taught me a new way to pray.

A Letter To My Son

About a year before my son decided to join the U.S. Army, the Lord gave me a dream. In it someone asked me where my son, John was? I answered, “He’s in the army”. I pondered this dream for several months and only shared it with my husband. At this time, my son had planned to go to college and play football. At the beginning of his senior year in high school, he told me he had changed his mind and decided to join the Army. Although the war was still going in Iraq, I had total peace. The Lord reminded me of the dream I had and I shared it with my son. John joined the Army and left, right out of high school. We purchased him a cell phone so he could call home anytime he wanted. This helped me to handle the situation because he would call me just about every day. The only bad thing was, he hated the army. He would call and want to get out so bad and there was nothing I could do to help him, except pray. One evening he called and he was so depressed. Not knowing what to say, I listened and tried to comfort him but it was to the point that something had to change for both of us. I even began to question God. I believed my son was in God’s will but he was so miserable that it didn’t make sense to me. That night when I went to bed, I prayed that God would talk to my son and give him the strength that he needed. I asked him to please move in this situation for us both because I was also a nervous wreck. At 4:30 a.m. I awoke to the strangest thing. All these sentences we’re running through my mind. It was like a letter to my son. So I thought, I will write him a letter when I get up in the morning. Immediately I heard this voice say, “you will not remember this in the morning.” So I said, “Lord do you want me to get up now and write him a letter?” I quickly got out of bed, grabbed my notebook and my Bible and sat down on the couch. I looked up and said, “Okay Lord, I know you want to write my son a letter, use my hand and tell me what to write. This is the letter the Lord wrote to my son, but it is not only for my son. It is for anyone who loves the Lord and wants to serve him. John, I have called you out from among your people, just as I called many mighty men in the Bible. They had to get away from their comfort zone in order to fulfill my will. You have asked me to have my will in your life. Maybe what I ask of you seems hard to you because you are trying to go it alone. I am here with you at all times, you just seem to forget that. I have not asked you to build an ark that took Noah years to build. How do you think he felt at times? Remember he was human too. Get into my word and learn about all the men in the Bible that I called upon. Remember, many are called but few are chosen. Yes my son, you are chosen! I know it feels like a hard thing because you miss your family. Think about how Abraham felt. But in order for me to make him a father of many nations, I had to get him away, all to myself. That is where I have you son. Please look to me, and lean on me. I will guide you and help you. I have a purpose for you and I need you. Take your eyes off yourself and magnify me. This is not a hard thing. I will make it easy if you will stay close to me. John, time is short. You think your in the army of the U.S. but really you are in the Army of the Lord. You are in a place where so many soldiers are dying and going to hell because they don’t know me. I have placed you in the battle zone to let them know that I love them and I am there with them. They don’t know this, someone has to tell them. Listen to my Voice of Truth. It will be an easy thing for you my son if you lean on me everyday. We are in this together. I haven’t stuck you here and left you, I am here too. I said I would never leave you nor forsake you. I love you my son and I am proud of you. Nowadays, there is not many willing to do my will but you chose to do so and you will not regret it. You will be rewarded. Do you not see my favor all around you? Oh my son, I have good, exciting things prepared for you. Stop listening to the devil. He is only trying to get you to give up. Look what he did to Jonah. I told Jonah to go tell the people at Nineveh that judgement was coming upon them if they didn’t repent. Satan caused him to go the other way but I intervened and because of his obedience those people were saved. Son, you are no different than the men in my word. Their lives are written for you as an example but also as help for you to see that, although what I called them to do seemed big, it was not them but I who did the work through them. Will you be my open vessel? In my word I said, “my eyes go to-and-fro across the earth to see who I can be strong in”. Son, I see your heart and your love for me, I want to use you to do great things. Will you let me? Serving me is not a hard thing. Satan wants you to think so. He would have destroyed you long ago but I had my hand upon you, my son, for you are mine and I love you. Son, you are in the harvest field. It is ripe but there are few laborers. Turn away from all that is not of me for these are serious times. Time is short, look around you. All those around you who look to strong drink or other means to try and satisfy there hurts, is it not I they need? Oh how I want to gather them in my arms but they won’t let me. Through you my son, I can show them my love. Just as I used the two guys to get to Mike Warnke, when he was in the service, he was a Satanist but because of my two servants he got saved. You have to stop looking at the situation and start looking at me. I am bigger than all your problems and I can take away the hurts, trust me. Get alone with me, praise me, worship me. For it is I, that worketh in you. For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Let your tongue be the pen of a ready writer, to speak my word faithfully and in due season it will come forth as needed. Study my word son, eat it daily. Get it down in your heart, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Be ready at all times, for I will bring them to you and I will speak to them through you. It will not be a hard thing for you, remember Moses. Those men’s stories are there to help you. Study them! In times of trouble you can go back and remember how they made it through. My word will help guide you and protect you but you have to get it inside of you so it can come out when needed. Thank you for being obedient my son. Walk by faith and not by sight. I will keep thee in perfect peace whose eyes are stayed upon me. I love you John. The Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ of Nazareth

Ashes

I used to be involved in a women’s meeting at a church I used to go to. One of the ladies requested prayer that she would get a certain job she was wanting. She said she felt in her heart that this job was hers and the owners even told her that she had the job, but they had not contacted her of when she could actually start the job. We prayed about this for several months but nothing had changed. This woman did not want to go find another job because she knew in her heart that that was her job. I spent much time in prayer for her because she needed a breakthrough. The Lord spoke to me and said there was something that was standing in her way of her blessing. The next meeting, I told her what the Lord had spoke to me. I mentioned that maybe she had something in her house that should not be there. She totally disagreed and told me she knew all about spiritual warfare and she would never have anything in her house that went against God, she even got a little angry towards me. So when I left that night and began asking the Lord, did I make a mistake in what I thought he said to me. This bothered me because I never want to tell anyone something that might be wrong. I heard the Lord speak to me and he said the word “Ashes”. I wasn’t sure what this meant. The following Sunday at church, prayer was requested for this lady, because she had went on a trip to take her mother’s ashes to be buried in another state where her family was. All of a sudden, I knew exactly what the Lord meant. As soon as she got back home, she got a call from the job she had been waiting on for so long, and they hired her immediately. I thought this was pretty amazing that God spoke this to me. I never said anything to her about this but I did learn that we can have things in our home that can hinder our prayers being answered.

Holy Spirit Saved Me from a Wreck

I was driving to work one morning. The speed limit was 55mph and I was doing every bit of it. About a quarter mile up ahead was a big curve with a pull off, where an old store used to be. I have traveled this road a million times, so I am very familiar with it. Now before you approach this curve, you cannot see anything about it until your right up on it. So as I was getting close, I heard a voice say, “Slow down and get ready to stop, because a car is fixing to pull out in front of you!” I immediately looked over in the passenger seat to see who just spoke but there was no one there physically. I immediately let off the gas and slowed down to 20mph as I approached the curve. Right when I got to it, an old man in a long, black car pulled right out in front of me. I came to a complete stop without even squealing my tires. I sat there and watched this old man creep right across my lane without any hesitation. If I hadn’t slowed down I would have T-boned him right in his driver’s door. Once I was able to move on, the tears started flowing. I was so amazed at what God had just done. This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. He really does disappoint the devices of the crafty so they cannot perform their enterprises against us (Job 5:12). The devil had plans to harm me and that old man, maybe even end our lives that day. But God said No!
