Praise Report - Speaking Faith

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Brothers and Sisters,

In the interest of being more positive and less controversial, 
here is a testimony.

The congregation I attend, Eva UPC, has been having some 
tremendous Revival Services with Brother Steven Whisler as 
guest speaker.  During this 'Revival', which began in early May, 
we have seen many wonderful works of God.  Several people 
have reported healings and we have seen more than a few 
people born-again.  After one service one of the sisters went 
to tell a friend about it at a local hair salon (she happens to 
know the owner).  While she was telling the owner of the 
marvelous things God was doing, a woman who was in a 
tanning bed at the time overheard her.  Later that day this 
woman called the sister.  She came to church with her that 
night with her mother who has been ill.  During the altar call 
her mother went to the altar to be annointed and prayed for. 
While she was being prayed for the preacher began to 
speak a Word of Knowledge over the woman telling her that 
the personal family problems she had been going through would 
be taken care of by Jesus.  As the preacher said these things, 
the woman (from the tanning bed) who was sitting in the very 
last pew with the sister mentioned earlier, grabbed the sister's 
had and ran with her down the isle to the altar.  The mother 
received the Holy Ghost that night.  Come to find out the woman 
had received the Holy Ghost previously at a different church 
but was not actively attending any congregation. You just never 
know who will be affected when you witness.

On a more personal note, I was prayed over last night in service 
also.  For several years now I have experience a dramatic 
hair loss.  This might sound silly, but as a woman, especially 
an apostolic woman, it has been sort of traumatic.   When 
my mother saw me last year (she lives in New Jersey, I live in 
Alabama) after not seeing her in person for some time, she was 
astounded.  She guesses I have lost at between one quarter to 
one half of my hair (mostly just in an overall thinning way).  I am 
not bald or anything though I do have a few smallish sort of 
balding spots.  My doctor says my hair loss is due to stress. 
Anyway, last night we had been praying as a church for God 
to give us victory in various areas.  I have been seeking God 
to reverse my problem.  After the whole congregation marched 
around the church, literally (ala 'walls of Jericho'), I felt 
impressed that God was not only going to restore my hair but 
also in a great way relieve the stress I have been experiencing.
When I went to the preacher to tell what God had spoken to 
me, he prayed for me and told me to expect that my hair would 
definitely return and be longer and more beautiful than it had 
ever been before.  I am standing in faith and speaking that 
faith before you all, God is able and He is willing.  Amen.
