Will Proclaim His Miracles

God is the same yesterday, today and forever...

He is still transforming lives and performing miracles today.

I'd like to share some of the miracles God has done in my life recently...

The Lord has called me to share my stories to proclaim what He has done, for His glory...

When the world is full of darkness and evil and there seems to be no hope...there is a light.

There is a sign brought to you whether you realize it or not.Sometimes it is through someone you know, telling you something.Sometimes it is though a situation or a tragedy that will change your life to bring you to God.Sometimes it is that feeling tugging at your heart to believe in a hope that you cannot see.That is the power of Christ drawing you near to him.Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."I believe that God gives us all a chance to come to Him and repent. For some of us He gives us several chances.The bible says in2 Peter 3:9,

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

I know, in my case, Jesus had been knocking at my door several times, but I didn't open the door.I was too revolved around the world and my own sorrow.I needed help, I needed supernatural help that is not found in this world.I NEEDED JESUS.And God needed me, and He had a perfect plan for me, just waiting for the right moment in time.

The Holy Spirit channeled through my aunt one night, and speaking directly to me through her, was my God telling me just what I needed to hear and what to do.I was told to get down on my knees and pray for Jesus to help me, for Him to be the Lord of my life, to save me, to forgive me, to guide me.To confess to Him that I believe in Him, and I need Him, and I love Him and I trust Him.And He heard my cry, He heard my prayer, and He answered me.I knew in my heart that things were going to change, I just didn't know how or when.

Then Jesus came back, notknocking, but more like a bomb crashing in - and I praise God He did!

About a week later, my husband and I got into a horrible fight. I refused to give him money, and he locked me in a room and threatened to burn down the apartment and kill me and the kids.I yelled for help out the window.I prayed for help from Almighty God.I found the strength to break through the door to get to my children. My husband grabbed me and injured my left hand and pushed me down.He went into my son's room, I got up and pushed in front of him to protect my son.He pushed me against the wall and violently twisted my right wrist, I heard something snap.I begged him to leave us alone, I gave him the money so he would just leave.He left, and I locked the front door and got the three children up out of bed to leave with me.Just then he broke the front door in, breaking the locks.He came after me, he choked me up against the wall, I was holding my 6 month old daughter.My other two children were watching.He said he was going to kill me.I closed my eyes and prayed and...all of the sudden... he fell to the floor unconscious.I ran out with the kids downstairs to the neighbors and called 911. He was arrested.God hadsaved my life that moment.He delivered me from my abuser and saved me.

I surrended to the Lord....and he led me...and paved our way through shelters.I was able to get appointments with agencies that "didn't have any openings" and help from organizations that "didn't have the money".Yes,the Lord provided for us.And I trusted every move He was laying in my path.The time I shared with my children at the shelters was so precious, all we had was each other and God, and we got so much closer as a family.This was a blessing in disguise!We were relocated from Denver Colorado to Helena Montana.Two days after we arrived, my parents brought us to Last Chance Chapel.The church has helped us grow with Christ and we have a whole new family!I felt at home there the moment I walked through the doors, I just knew that I was meant to be there.The church has helped mediscover His purpose for me and open up a whole new world of life.I have learned so much from Pastor John, his wonderful wife Gloria, and their children.I am so thankful for them.

The Lord has provided me with shelter, with transportation, with stable employment, with loving childcare, and a great school program for my oldest child.He is most faithful and truly does provide all I will ever need. I trust that all things are possible with Christ, I've seen it, I've received it.He is my everything, my Father, my Redeemer, my Savior, my friend, my teacher, my Salvation.The bible says he is the Father to the fatherless, and my children love Him dearly, and know that He is their Father.The bible says, Thy maker is thine husband, he makes my family complete.

Where there is faith, love and hope: there is God, where there is God: there is no need.

The Lord healed my broken tendon in my right wrist.I had many doctors see it over a period of 7 months.None of them knew what to do, other than prescribe pain killers and give me different styles of large, uncomfortable restraining braces with metal inside.I wore a metal wrist brace for 7 months. The orthopedic specialist told me I would always be in pain and have to wear the brace for the rest of my life, unless exploratory surgery unveiled something different.

One day, some elders at church prayed with me and touched my wrist. That same day my dad told me, "you just have to believe that it will be better".I prayed and put all my faith in the greatest physician in the universe, that no physical suffering is beyond His power.I believed and expected God to heal my wrist.About a week later, I noticed that it was not hurting me as much anymore.I noticed I could take the brace off and do things without it, and the pain was gone.

He is a healer! Amen!He is doing miracles today!

I've not had pain nor wore a brace in 3 months.

I've learned that through faith in Him alone, all things are possible.Not only has he physically healed me, he has healed me and my children emotionally.And I've learned that when Itrust in his ways, there is no failure.

I am so in love with Jesus, I see him everywhere.I see Christ in every person I know, in every person I meet.

Love is shown in deeds and sacrifice.Jesus had the ultimate divine love and sacrifice for me, and for us all.It is my desire and goal to sacrifice my will for his.To deny myself and my desires for him.To take up my cross daily for him.To live for him alone, to bring glory to his name!This is my joy!

The bible says, "according to your faith, be it unto you"what a wonderful promise that is.To know that my destiny lies in his hands, to be cradled in the arms of the creator of the universe.

How blessed are we to havea Living God who overcame death itself?The bible tells us that our victory is in Christ Jesus, who overcame death.O death where is your victory?O death where is your sting? If our God has overcome death itself and we believe in that, we must also believe that we will live as He lives and trust in that.There is nothing God cannot conquer in our lives.Life always conquers death if the life is in Christ.We can overcome any darkness in our lives with the power of the Holy Spirit!

Faith starts when we are willing to "step out of the boat" for Jesus.When we are willing to give up our own very thoughts, and allow his to take over.When we are truly willing to sacrifice our will for His.There is nothing lost, no.Only so much to gain!So much to live for and enjoy with a purpose He intended for you and I.To live His will for your life, brings so much more satisfaction than anything else in this world.If we allow Him to, Jesus will consume anything and everything in our lives and replace it with pure love.He will satisfy desires of all kinds, if we allow him to.

Jesus said, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."

Faith grows when we have that same desire.

When our "meat" is to do his will, and finish his work.

He waits for us all to cross the line, to step out of the boat for him, to trust him.

When we trust him, he can trust us.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

I will forever praise Him, my God, my King. Amen!
