“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9:1
The past 3 months have been an emotional roller coaster for our family, to say the least. The week before Easter, my dad had bad stomach pain for a day and then lost his appetite. After six weeks, he lost 13 lbs. He’s already a skinny dude. Symptoms of his body not properly absorbing fats began to present themselves, so the doctor ordered a series of diagnostics. Blood tests. Stool samples. Endoscopy. And then an ultrasound revealed a mass on his pancreas. The following week, an MRI confirmed a two-inch tumor on the head of his pancreas. My precious dad began thinking about end-of-life things. Would my mom financially survive without him? How much longer would he get to watch his grandchildren grow? Through all of this, we prayed for peace. And God delivered. So much peace. We felt carried with peace by the prayers of our loved ones in the midst of the crazy of normal life. Three weeks ago, my parents sat with the Director of Pancreatic Disease who showed them the two-inch tumor on my dad’s MRI. The doctor was eager to get a biopsy to determine the stage and type of cancer cells, as well as start a course of treatment. Two weeks ago, my dad went under for that biopsy surgery. The doctor came out to the waiting room and asked my mom to come back to recovery so he could speak to my mom and dad together. He said, “I have no explanation for this, but we found no tumor. It is not there. We took 4 biopsies of the tissue surrounding where the MRI and ultrasound showed the tumor. But the pancreas looks good.” Today they had the follow up appointment to go over the biopsy results. Everything came back negative. He does not have cancer. There is no tumor. Our brains and emotions are shell-shocked. HOLY AMAZINGNESS!!!! My Daddy is well. MY👏DADDY👏 IS 👏WELL! God is good. All the time.
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. ~Psalm 61:1-4
Starting back in 2009, I developed problems with my left foot. The foot was swollen and one couldn’t even see the demarcation of the joints between the toes. I went to a trigger point therapist and he was able after several visits to reduce the swelling and gave me some exercises to do, which helped. But what then developed was trouble with my left little toe of all things. That little guy got red and hot and it felt like someone was taking a knife and stabbing my toe. I had to use a corn cushion to separate the toe from the rest of my left foot digits. I still went to the trigger point therapist and would get some temporary relief but that was about all. In 2011, I started to develop bilateral leg cramps that would wake me up in the night with some incredible pain. My feet would jolt straight out in front of me and my legs would be so painful I could hardly walk. My husband would wake up and massage my legs, and after a while, I could go back to sleep. I started to worry about sleeping at night and would this happen again. I tried to monitor what I ate before bed making sure that I did not aggravate the situation with eating sugar or something that would cause joint pain. Meanwhile my left little toe pain got increasingly worse. I started wrapping my toe with gauze or tissue or gel corn wraps. The least bit of pressure on my toe sent incredible pain through my body. Monthly trips to the trigger point therapist did not seem to help the situation. I started to take naproxen sodium, doubling up on the dosage a few times a day to help with the pain. My walking was painful and with being on my feet all day cleaning homes as a profession this was becoming unbearable. In the Spring of this year, 2015, I was introduced to Beloved of God Ministries. I started to listen to the teachings and was so blessed with the depth of the Word and yet how simply and wonderfully it was held forth. I listened to another beloved one’s deliverance on one of the teaching CDs. In late August, my husband and I went to South Bend for the REVIVE weekend at the Chapel. I came home that weekend totally healed. Many times in the weeks ahead of the trip to South Bend, I had called out to God asking for deliverance. I knew healing was His Will, but something was blocking my deliverance. I am so thankful to God. I have no pain in my toe, my feet, and no cramps in my legs. I have not had to see the trigger point therapist or take anything for pain. I am healed!
O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. ~Psalm 30:2
God is good! God bless you both in the powerful and delivering name of Jesus Christ. My blood pressure is under control (120/70). Our God is a God of the Here and Now, a very present help in the time of need. He also provides solutions to every problem. Thank you for your prayers of deliverance. My family physician gave up and sent me to a cardiologist… two more medications, then increased the dosages; all with no results. I told God that I am not going to live my life like this…He has to provide me with the answer. HE DID!!! When you ask GOd for something, you have to be ready to LISTEN. Listening and hearing are two different things. A week after my last appointment with the cardiologist, I was home getting things done, so what’s next on my list of things to do. God said, “Watch TV”. I thought I was too busy…but “Watch TV”. So…I turned on the TV to find a PBS program. A doctor was talking about diets, sugar and obesity. In less than five minutes, he made the statement that “sugar causes hypertension”. WHAT!!! No doctor ever told me that. Then God brought to remembrance what the cardiologist asked me, “How’s your diet?”. I had told him that I had not put salt on my food for years; with no results. In my mind, I was eating a healthy diet. The doctor on TV was advising that we read labels and nutritional info and look for serving sizes. I performed a mental check on my eating habits and my diet, along with checking out the nutritional information of what I was eating. Then, I changed my diet to focus on serving size, sodium and sugar content. It took about a week and a half and my blood pressure plummeted to 100/60…with great results! My cardiologist took me off the medications and released me to my family physician. He also advised my physician to continue to reduce my BP meds. This is not what I expected my answer from God would be. I remember asking God. “how am I going to know I am delivered?”. Do I need a bigger “sign”? Plus, I’ve lost 30 pounds in 10 weeks…
God is Good and He is faithful!
God has answered my prayer…I am now employed at a Beauty Supply Store. I started this week, part-time. I enjoy working with the owner and employees of the store. Thank you for your diligent prayers for my job.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit. ~John 15:7 & 8
Gifts of Healings…I’M OPENING MY PRESENT!!! The severe crippling pain in my hip is gone. I continue to retrain my motor skills to walk correctly. I had lived with this pain for over 5 years…God is good. I continue to confess what God’s Word says…healing wholeness in all aspects of my life. Thank you for ministering to me. Also, great teach last Sunday 6/22/14- Persistence & Insistence in Prayer, just what I needed to hear!!! ~
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. ~1 Peter 2:24
Thank you so much! My young grandson had some lumps under his chin that were not picked up on previous testings, but the surgeon found them upon his exam. He had the MRI with a follow-up exam and the lumps are virtually gone! The surgeon is no longer worried about a possible cancer diagnosis. So I would say that the intercession has worked! God is good! God has answered our prayers! So thank you so much for your prayers. ~
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ~Romans 8:26
I thought this might bless you to hear. After a week or so of recommitting myself to faithfully speak in tongues for several needs, one being my extended family members, I got a call that my brother-in-law was in the hospital. He had collapsed outside his home. Once in the hospital, the doctors found several blood clots on both lungs and one behind his right knee. The doctor told my brother-in-law that he was just minutes from death and that “the man upstairs must have been looking out for him”. My brother-in-law is now on proper medication and has been released from the hospital. He is returning to work this week. I am so thankful that I recommitted myself to speaking in tongues and that I can see the results of intercessory prayers. ~
I am the Lord that healeth thee. ~Exodus 15:26
I want to share a remarkable blessing in my life this past week…one week ago today, to be exact. While showering, upon realizing that one of my breast had a very sore spot, I found a rather large lump. With all the instruction on power and authority; the teachings on God’s love and care for us; and more recently, having confidence that when we pray according to His will that He hears us and gives us our petition…my next actions were very calculated according to those Scriptures. In the name of Jesus Christ, I commanded any evil living in those sore cells to die immediately. I thanked God for His design of the human body and I instructed the healthy cells and the systems in my body, to go to the scene and perform according to their Godly design, in healing and restoring. I encouraged myself in the Word by thinking of scriptures like. …this is the confidence we have…; I am the Lord, thy Physician; I am the Lord that heals all thy diseases; the Word is Life and heals all of my flesh; by the stripes my Lord and Savior endured, I am healed; on and on and on. Well, by the next morning, there was no soreness, or lump. There was a lot or rejoicing in our God, who IS only Love and always Light. I am understanding more how to be in the constant state of determined for deliverance. Our Heavenly Father is constant for any and all who puts their trust in Him. ~
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. ~Mark 11:24
The focus on prayer these past few weeks, along with the Intercessors Group has blessed me so much. Knowing that brothers and sisters, who know God’s will and His absolute nature of Love and Light, are making intercession for other brothers and sisters and countries as well, has made me more positive and hopeful for the healing and blessing of all. Thanks so much! ~
The LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. ~1 Samuel 16:7
God’s blessings are coming left and right; there are so many little and big things happening. I’ve been sure to remind myself that I am worthy of these blessings, as to not fall into a trap of thinking it’s too much goodness. God can just pour it on, because I am ready for the blessings. My left heel has been hurting for a while now, and even worse for the last week since I stepped on something that worsened the condition. Last night it was hurting so badly, I could hardly even walk on that foot. I thought to myself, “why haven’t you prayed about this, and why would you put up with it, when you know God has just healed you of something else?” So, I simply thanked God for my foot, and honestly…hobbled on up to bed. This morning I got out of bed and I was like “hey, my foot doesn’t hurt”. I really love letting go and letting God. My foot has a slight, very slight, discomfort…but that does not make me doubt my healing; it’s on its way to the full recovery. There seems to be a learning curve to stop looking at things physically and start looking at things spiritually. Everyday, what we see is physical, but that is not where our deliverances come from; it comes from the spiritual. So whatever my situation, I continue to look at it from the view of how God desire for my outcome. Thank you for your teachings which inspire me and help me think deeper and believe more confidently. ~
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:19
A beloved one, very adept in HVAC, carpentry, repairs, etc. decided to start a handyman business, although he did not a lot of money to do so. He needed a special saw, which brand new would cost $500. He looked on Craig’s list and found one for $160. When he arrived at the seller’s house, he saw that she also had the stand for the saw, which was worth another $200. The seller sold both the saw and the stand for $140. Not being willing to borrow money, he prayed with another beloved one for the abundance needed to be multiplied to and and for his way to be made clear to get the tools and supplies that he needed. His immediate concern was purchasing $500 worth of lumber to build a deck for a customer. Well, within the day, the home owner paid him in full to build the deck, allowing him to fund the job and officially start his business. God is soooo good. ~
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. ~Proverbs 4:23
About five years ago, I had started a new job and I immediately noticed that I had a nervous tick in my hand, whenever I had to write in front of someone. I dealt with the problem for years, until one day, after hearing a series of teachings on our power and authority over our own bodies, I decided to tell my hand to stop shaking. I merely spoke to my hand mentally, as if it were an individual entity, and the nervous tick would stop and I would be able to write normally. Within a few days, the tick that I had been dealing with for several years was gone. Then, a few months ago, a good friend of mine noticed I was suffering from menopausal symptoms of hot sweats. I mentioned how disruptive they were even wakening me several times each night as the temperature of my internal core seemed to rise as if I had just sprinted a mile across the bedroom floor. She suggested that I try talking to my body, telling it to function normally, the way God had designed. It worked! For the first few days, it took a lot of mental focus. Basically, by the time one realizes they are having a hot flash, the body is already warming up. But I was able to stop the heat flash at the onset. I just told my body and in a very soothing mental thought to “…stop, cool down and perform normally”. I would breathe deep to convince myself that I was helping my body as a team player, by breathing in cool air, and replacing the heat from my body. The number of hot flashes diminished immediately and within a week or so they were altogether gone. ~
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. ~Luke 9:1
Three years ago I went to my doctor for an annual test and my results came back positive or irregular with what the doctors call pre-cancerous cells. My doctor was able to treat this simply by getting rid of those cells and letting new healthy ones grown. Recently I’ve suspected that those cells were back, because of some symptoms I was experiencing. It was starting to weigh on my mind. I was praying and talking to Father about it, He said “just go get tested. You’ll see you’re okay”. Although I was still experiencing the symptoms all the way up to the appointment, I just kept my mind focused on what God told me. From what I know, I believe cancer is spiritual in nature and I definitely know that I have power over the spirit realm, so I commanded that if it was a spiritual attack, that they have no access to me and broke any contracts I could have made. Right after my appointment, the symptoms were gone and a couple days later, got my test results and guess what? Yes, of course, it was negative. God is so wonderful! ~
For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. ~Proverbs 3:26
I wanted to share something with you I thought you’d be blessed hearing. A few weeks ago I was thinking about a prayer in Chronicles and how a man asked God to bless him. In considering things in my heart as I prayed, it was pressed upon me to pray specifically for my family’s well being, health, safety. So in my daily prayers, I focused to thank God for blessing us and keeping us from harm, illness, disease etc. Last week as my husband and one of our children were coming home from basketball practice, they were almost involved in a car collision. My husband said “I don’t know where this car came from, it seemed like it came from “out of nowhere” and I don’t know how in the world we didn’t collide. God protected them and kept the collision from happening. A few days later, we saw a mysterious dent in our car where it would have been hit, had they collided. I am so thankful for God’s love and protection for our family and all His children. God truly keeps us one step ahead. ~
They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. ~Mark 16:18
I wanted to share with you the goodness of the Lord in my life. I’m writing in English so that you can share my testimony with Larry and his wife. God is so good. You will remember at the end of the fellowship led by Larry, I shared about the excruciating pain I have been experiencing for some time now. The pain would start in my lower abdomen and quickly spread all over my body. I had to miss work so frequently because Advil and Tylenol could no longer soothe the pain. To be able to function, to move around, I had to take 800 mg of Super Strength Motrin every 24 hours. I have never felt so sick in my life. I was always tired. I was frustrated. Larry prayed for me. The good news is that since then, the pain is gone. The last time I took Motrin was that Sunday around 8:00 am. I’m now full of energy; I feel rejuvenated. It’s a long time since I felt this way. I went to my family doctor last week for the result of the blood work he ordered. Guess what? He asked that I stop taking iron supplements since I am no longer anemic. I’m drug-free. It’s a different feeling. I am grateful to God for healing me, for His Word that heals us, and the anointing bestowed on His servants. Thank you for allowing yourselves to be God’s vessels. Thank you Mbanianga Family for your unfailing support. You are my TRUE family and I love you. ~
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. ~Ephesians 4:32
I believe that the teaching series you have done about the Love Life of A Believing One has given me great deliverance from many of my past teachings and the past actions of others. Recently, I told someone that I had seen and talked to someone that we both knew from the past and the person immediately began to rail about the “evil” that mutual acquaintance had done to them and others. I was so surprised at my response. I said, “We have all done things that have hurt others and we need to forgive ourselves and them, and move forward. In the past, I would have joined in with the “how bad that person treated me too” but your teaching of God’s loving and forgiving heart has helped heal that hurt and given me a more forgiving heart and mind. The Love Life teachings can bring great healing to many so they can experience the great joy, of not only living forgiven, but the great joy of learning to forgive. ~
Gifts of Healings Considerations…
The whole area of faith, gifts of healings and workings of miracles is a subject which has been misused or just simply not considered in the lives of so many Christians. Plus, as a minister and a nurse, I believe for Christians in the USA, because of our easy access to the medical field, think that is only way for God to heal. As a matter of fact, I had one Christian tell me that is the way in which God works today. I have always felt that all of the elements of the manifestations of the spirit have equal power and importance in our walks as believers. I am very thankful that after about 15 years of speaking in tongues that I found out all the benefits of that one manifestation, but I do not want to stop there and limit all the other manifestations that are a part of God’s gift of holy spirit. To think that all the prophets of the Old Testament wanted to see this wonderful day (Pentecost). I, if you will, want to make them proud of how I use the authority and power that God has given me. I Corinthians 13 lists the manifestations of holy spirit: word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, workings of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues…each is valuable to us or God would not have put that ability in the package. …Certainly something to consider! ~
God’s Perfect Timing…
This is such a great blessing and a big chance to give God the glory and bless others. On Wednesday, I had an appointment and was running a little late, but, staying calm. In just the net second the phone rang, and the person said, “I’m running 10 minutes late.” I said, “Hmmm, so am I – see you at 10:40.” So off I went and was on time at 10:40. But I still sat and waited in peace for another 15 minutes for my appointment. On my way home I went to CVS to pick up something for my husband and I saw a teen I knew in an isle and asked where his mom was. He told me that his mom was not feeling well. I located her close to the MedCheck sign-in station and asked if she would like me to pray for her and she quickly replied, “Yes.” After ministering to her, we chatted a moment, hugged and went our ways. Later in the afternoon, she called and thanked me. When she saw the nurse, she found that she did not even have a fever. (But when I prayed for her, she and I both remembered that her body was very warm.) My response was, “God healed you right there before the nurse even saw you.” “Yes He did,” was her response. She told me how good she felt! We talked about the Word and recent teachings on God’s Deliverance before saying Goodbye. Isn’t God wonderful! My love to all. ~
Child-like Believing
On Memorial Day weekend, our son was so looking forward to the opening of our neighborhood pool. One of our neighbors told him it was going to rain on Monday which was Memorial Day. He kept telling me what the neighbor said and he believed that it was true. I reminded him that just because someone tells you something does not mean it is true. I told him he could pray and thank God for the rain to miss us so he could swim. Well, Monday morning came and it was sunny all day. The rain came in the evening after the pool closed. My son told me that he had prayed all night for the rain to miss us. Sitting next to me at the pool, neighbors were saying, “Something miraculous has happened because the radar was showing a ton of rain” I said, “Yes it did and I know why the rain has missed us. My son prayed all night for the rain to miss us so he could swim on the opening day of the pool.” No request is too small or unimportant to our Heavenly Father. I am so thankful for God answering his prayer, prayed with childlike believing. He will not forget that incident as he grows. It will help him remember that he can look to God for true answers and help. ~
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. ~Psalm 107:2
Healings are always great cause to rejoice in the goodness of our God. This morning I went to watch my grandson play baseball. At his young age, innings can be quite long and I sometimes bring along reading material. In working materials for Determined for Deliverance, I was reading different healing testimonies. One account was about the healing of tennis elbow. In the past, part of my fitness regimen was punching a heavy bag. The numerous repeated jarring jabs to the bag caused compressions on the tendons in my left elbow resulting in a very painful “tennis elbow.” In the testimony, they talked about commanding “the jammed tendon to stretch out to normal.” Just before sitting down to read, I played catch with my older grandson and as usual, my elbow was aching. I thanked God for His healing power and the authority He has given me and then I commanded my tendon to stretch out to normal. Instantly…the pain in my elbow stopped. I moved it in every direction and enjoyed full range of motion. I called my elder grandson over for a catch. I threw him my fastball, curve and screwball…no pain! I went back and sat down and spoke in tongues to give God perfect praise for His gracious promises and His glorious gift of holy spirit. I share it with you as I did with the people sitting near me because the Scripture says…”Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” As I am writing this now, my elbow functions with full range of motion and absolutely no pain at all. Bless our God! ~
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers. ~1 Peter 3:12
I had an echo stress test done yesterday and there was a Dr. present to read it for me and he said it couldn’t be better. There is no blockage. Thank you God and thank you Larry and Connie. I am wearing a 3-week recording monitor and will be turning it in on the 14th of July. Thank you so much for the last teaching, I am still listening to it often and thanking God that I hear something new each time for my learning and I am. On Friday morning I woke up with a little scratchy throat. No surprise I thought to myself…a small child sneezed right in my face a few days earlier and then it was no! No! NO! I don’t need to have this, “by Christ’s stripes I am healed”. Well in another 30 seconds I told my husband – he was in the kitchen getting coffee and I was in the front room getting ready to read my bible and before I could even ask for a prayer I heard aloud “germs you are dead and have no place in my wife’s life, get out now. You are dead” The second he finished, the scratchy was gone and ta-da! ~
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. ~3 John 1:2
In March I had my regular check up with my Dr. and was asked to loose some weight, and to lower my cholesterol and blood sugar. So I bought some new shoes, hit the treadmill and started eating better. Above all I had called and asked Larry to pray for me and to be in faith with me to accomplish my goals. In early May I went back for a second set of blood tests and then in about a week went back to see my Dr. The results came back very good. My prayer was answered and I received my gift of healing. Thank you Father. The Dr. had asked me about some other things we had discussed and wanted to know how it was going. I had been having some heart flutters and funny heart beats during the night and a few dizzy spells. (I have been told that I am a little dizzy anyway) laugh now. She wanted me to have a chest x-ray and an echo cardiogram and wear a test called a Holter Monitor (this measures your heart beats for a full 24 hours and records it.) Okay, we’ll do this. But wait – let me call Larry and have him pray for me before I do this. He prayed for every part of my heart and every thing around it and I had another gift of healing. You see in the Word it says gifts of Healings – not just one per person. The x-ray came back “okey-dokey” and the monitor did too, except for a few small off-beats, but nothing to be concerned about. Praise God for my gifts of healings, thank you Father once more. I am seeing the Dr. this week to go over the cardiogram and I have received my healing. This I know. I will make another entry next week after my appt. on Thursday to declare all the goodness of my Heavenly Father. Larry did command that my heart valves be restored to full and normal function and that is what I am going to hear the Dr. tell me on Thursday. As a matter of fact I believe she will ask me what the “hey” are you doing here? God’s Best to all who read this and thank you again Larry for the new teaching series, Determined for Deliverance. ~
…with God all things are possible. ~Matthew 19:26
Just a quick follow-up to update you on my mother, who we prayed for a few weeks ago. She had undergone chemotherapy and radiation for a cancerous tumor that was located behind her breastplate, back in the fall of last year. After the treatments were done, a cat-scan revealed no change in the size of the tumor. On a subsequent visit, the tumor again had not changed in size, and spots were noticed on her liver. This was a matter of great concern, as it seemed these could be the evidence that the cancer was beginning to spread. After the next cat-scan, which again showed no change in the original tumor, but some additional spots on the liver, the doctor pretty much told us it would only be a matter of time. This was when we decided to employ the believing of others in this healing and sent you our prayer request. In addition to that, due to our conversations and ensuing teachings, we knew that it was time to minister healing, and although my Mom in the past had adopted the “whatever will be will be” attitude, the door opened to share with her the will of God for her to be healed, and she agreed to let me minister to her. Well, here comes the good news. The last cat-scan my mother had showed the tumor in her chest had shrunk by nearly 50%, and the spots on the liver had stopped spreading! God is so awesome, and there is nothing like seeing His power manifested to give us a boost of confidence in His great love for our lives! In the meantime, her lungs which had also been a problem are clearing up, and the oxygen that she has been on at night will only be needed for another few months according to the pulmonary specialist. Thank you so much for continuing to be “Determined for Deliverance” and believing that God means what He says in His Word about healing, and helping me to maintain my resolve as well, even when the medical experts had pretty much given up hope. And please thank the rest of the beloved ones for their prayerful support. ~
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 2:5
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. ~1 John 5:14 & 15
If God be for us, who can be against us? ~Romans 8:31
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. ~ Psalm 116:15
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. ~Luke 6:38
This is my story; this is my song…
