In America God Heals

Video of Miracle Healing Testimonies!

Yet again, God shows Himself to be all powerful and in control of everything! The only thing required of us is to renew our minds and seek after Him. At the end of this article I want to share a quick video of God healing a handful of people!

This newsletter has been delayed because I lost track of time. You know the saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” It’s been a great summer meeting missionaries in Springfield, MO, at my pre-field orientation, and meeting pastors all across Georgia! Of course, I’m not exempt from the struggles of life, but I’d like to share my secret for getting through those tough days. The best part is that it comes from just two verses in the same chapter. Meditate on them and take heed to what they say.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”– Philippians 4:8

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” – Philippians 4:12-13

Lately I’ve been busy studying, working, and traveling to raise support, and at times it has made me weak. The moments when we get weak are when it’s most important to look at what God has done and will keep doing in our own lives!

One recent story of God intervening on my behalf happened when I was flying back to Georgia from Springfield on a standby ticket. Family told me I should stay in Springfield one more day because the standby list was long and I’d get stuck overnight at the airport. It was sound advice from someone who has used standby tickets for many years, but I wanted to take the chance because I had places I needed to be.

The way a standby ticket works is that if there’s an empty seat on the plane just before departure, they call you up and stamp that seat number on your ticket. On the day I left, I went to pick up my standby ticket at the front desk at 4:30am and was greeted with, “There’s not much hope for you.” Then the gate clerk told me, “It doesn’t look good for you today.” I had to fly from Springfield to Texas and then on to Georgia, two planes in all.

That morning I just kept thanking God and trusting that He’s able to make a way. Before the first plane left, my name was called, and I was on my way to Texas! After landing, I got a text message saying I had just witnessed a miracle, but it would take another really big miracle for me to make the next flight!

God is the same in all countries and all generations!

Rinse and repeat! I prayed again, but a little harder. I was told that every flight to Atlanta was completely booked and that I was behind a long line of standby passengers. Then came that quiet moment when all the other passengers had boarded the plane and I was still sitting there waiting. All of a sudden, the clerk called my name! I walked up to the desk, and the lady mumbled under her breath, almost like she was angry, “I guess you get their first-class ticket.”

Glory to God! My family helped me save a lot of money with the standby ticket, and on top of that, God made a way when there seemed to be no way! Flying with legroom was such a blessing, but little did I know that blessing would set off a chain reaction.

Within 24 hours I was praying for sick people, and they were getting healed. Then I had another first-time experience. During a service at a church I’m not even a part of, little kids began coming up to me for prayer and being slain in the Spirit. These guys were no older than 8! Two of them were touched by God in this way, and then 4-5 adults were healed of things they’d had to live with for many years.

Glory to God, for He is good! We serve a good God, and my hope is that you never lose sight of whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable. Love you all!

Because they haven’t heard,
