This Christ is real I hve lived with him in our lives here are just a few of our experiences.
GO MEL!!
This experience occurred about 25 years ago, but the blessing will forever remain in our hearts. We had absolutely no food in our home and three little boys we needed to provide for. We prayed... we cried... we then begged God to provide...none of this is scriptural. After we shook off the doubt, the fear, and unbelief we decided to walk in what way we knew to walk. I placed a pot of water on the stove to boil, as a step of faith, and my husband went to the store to receive the groceries; he did not have a penny to his name but we knew whose name to call on. He selected a shopping cart and began to shop and shop and shop. When he entered the checkout stand the sales clerk totaled the items and he proceeded to explain to her his dilemma.
She called the manager and told him; he came out from his office and asked my husband did he have everything he needs and he told him no because they didn't have certain items we needed. The manager told him NO CHARGE, pulled out extra cash from his pocket and gave it to him and said,"go wherever you need to and buy the rest!" God is so good.
This happened about 12 years ago. It was about 2am E one summer morning and I awoke suddenly as if someone shook me. Well when I wake up in that manner I know I probably need to pray. I said a short prayer in the spirit and went back to sleep. About 2 hours or so later my eldest son Gerald knocked on my bedroom door and the first words out of his mouth were"Mom don't turn on the light" ..well being a mom you know I was alarmed, I asked him what was wrong and he proceeded to tell me he had an accident on the way to pick his friend up from work (who had no transportation), and he fell asleep at the wheel!! Of course I was startled but I remained calm and asked was he okay, he said yes and said" I just want to go to bed"; I left it at that and thanked God he was alright. When I awoke the next morning I knew why he said don't turn on the light, he had blood from the top of his shirt collar all the way down to his pant leg!! He had slammed his vehiclev into a telephone pole and wrapped around it because the impact was so extreme the residents at a apartment complex heard it 1/2 mile away!! The police thought he was dead at the scene, they had to revive him, but praise God not one scratch was on him. The other wonderful part is his Dad was out of town on business but earlier that afternoon had a sudden unction to pray, left his meeting, went into his hotel room and prayed in the spirit until he had a release. Praise God for the the Holy Ghost and my husband's obedience to pray...it saved my baby's (then 16) life!!!!!!
One morning I was going about my daily chores of the household and had a sudden unction to pray. As I began the Holy Sprirt led me to pray for my brother. As I was praying I also began praying against any danger coming near him or his apartment complex of which I thought was quite odd but you need to go with the flow for God knows all things. Well after I received a note of victory I continued on with my daily chores. I do not recall the exact amount of time between my prayers and this actual scenario but it was probably about a month later... a horrific tornado touched down in the area where he was living , (they normally don't have tornadoes), it was late one evening so all he heard was this loud noise and he peered out of the window he but could not see a thing!!! He said as the sound grew louder it sounded like a freight train and he knew it was a tornado but it was too late for him to escape so he just braced himself... mind you he lived on the third level of the complex. Well... he waited for the worst that never came!!!The noise subsided after a few moments which of course to him seemed like an eternity.
He just thanked God and went back to bed. The next day he awoke to complete devastation surrounding his entire complex and continuing down for several blocks. PRAISE GOD!!! as soon as the tornado approached his corner it lifted over the complex and touched down on the other side of it THANK-GOD .
As usual I was minding my own business attending to my daily routines when the Holy Ghost halted me and prompted me to pray. When I began to pray He directed me to pray immediately for my precious little grandson, Jordan. I prayed for a moment (it doesn't always take long), then he just directed me to say continually "he shall live and not die"; "he shall live and not die. " I had a release and forgot about it. Well ........ a few days later my daughter-in-law told me how he was laying on the dressing table, (he was just 4 mos.), and he apparently learned to turn over without her knowledge. Well...... something startled her and she turned around for an instant and he flipped out and before she could catch him ..............
he fell right on top of his little head . INTO A LAUNDRY BASKET FULL OF TOWELS! God is so faithful and merciful, PRAISE HIM! Not a scratch.
Come back soon
