Last night i went to sleep with a smile. This morning I woke up with a smile, saturday night i woke up with the same worries I went to sleep with from friday night, I have been very worried about my moms health, she lives with me now but she has decided she is going back home. It broke my heart when i found out she wanted to leave. She says its best for Oscar and I and Arianna. All i thought is, if she leaves i wont be able to care of her anymore. As we live 13 hours away. I cryed and stayed in bed hurting for the rest of the evening friday after work, with out eating dinner with my family.  I read messages of encouragement from facebook-Bible, wecan and Dr John Onyema who has been very supportive to me in these tough days of my life. i love my parents, my dad was the best dad i could of ever had. he was unfaithfull to my mom and it was killing me inside. We were a very close family when we were little but something was missing, GOD was not in our lifes. i was hearing 90.5 as I laid in my daughters bed friday night and they were talking about the power of PRAYER,  i started to pray to the best of my knowledge from the bottom of my heart like never before and put everything in my thoughts into Gods hands. Saturday i read the wecan email of the carrots eggs and coffee and it opened my eyes and i realized i was punishing my self for something that i shouldnt have. I said to my self oh my, i am a carrot! sweet after boiling it but also soft and week. I then desided i wanted to be a coffee bean. i woke up Sunday Aug 1st and i was a little down but excited to go to church.Aug 1st, 2010 is a day i will never forget. I told my husband Oscar the joy I felt to recieve Jesus in my heart and soul. it was the best feeling of my life. In that moment I said to my self I will give my self to you. I want to learn and know everything about you. i felt his love pouring into my heart and i will never forget what i felt when my heart recieved him. it was the most special moment my husband and i have ever shared in 12 years of a  marriage, but something was missing as well, God. I thought we had a good life but now realize it is now the start of a new life.  I felt and knew it was the beging of a new life together for our family. We finally found Jesus !!!. Today I woke up realizing I was changed in many ways. Even though the small problems i have at work were the most of my worries then , today it was the least of my thoughts. I was determined to go to work and shine. I said to my self, 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of sound mind.  All day was like a new day for me. I felt as if It was the first day of the begining of a new life. Its an amazing feeling, everything i think, do and say, is with a joy i cant explain. Dr John asked me how are you today? and i said "good", and I thought im acctually doing great and the word came out and I said I mean "Great" and Dr Onyema said there is a book called  "From Good to Great". he told me he would bring it to me to read, i am looking foward to that. I am no longer who i was before. i have put behind all my worries and look foward with trust in GOD. i will continue to trust in the Lord's unfailing love. I ask my self, i dont know how he looked at me and saw the person who i can really be. Transforming my life into a more beautiful life. I cant thank God enough for every single one of you and for the understanding that i did not understand before. I am eager to learn and grow with  faith in God. This morning I did Arise and Shine ! and will from this day foward.

Watch Virginia Salazar's Testimony on the 700 Club

Dear Loved Ones, 

I want to testify to something that happened to me last night.  I left cell group at Lou's and traveled south on Decatur to the 95 on ramp past Washington.  Suddenly I could not see out of my windshield and a cloud of disorientation filled the car.  I did not know where I was or where to go and I've traveled the area many times.  I pulled left thinking I was entering the onramp and realized that I was about to enter the off ramp, and was also in the path of northbound oncoming traffic.  I was right in the middle of the intersection.  I didn't become oriented until I saw the headlights coming at me from northbound traffic and from the off ramp.  I was able to reverse completely back into the lane that I belonged in without harm.  I know driver's can do stupid things, but the disorientation that I experienced was very very odd and I believe it was a demonic attack against my safety.   

So I want to Praise God for protecting me to His Glory!!!!  I needed to testify about this; at cell group last night there were several powerful testimonies that came forth and one involved the Blood of Jesus and a deliverance that occurred years ago.  It became evident to me that we were in spiritual warfare as "we overcome satan by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our Testimony."  We must pray fervently for one another as we move forward in God's plan for Las Vegas.  We are in spiritual warfare for God's call on our lives, the precious gifts and anointing of the Holy Spirit, and the souls that will be birthed into His Kingdom as we wage battle.

Blessed,

Brandy ;)

Faith without works is dead.

Today I wanted to share with you how AWESOME God is!!  Last night I woke up in the middle of the night because I was having a hard time breathing.  I decided that I'd go down the hall to the restroom. While I was in the restroom I looked in the mirror and noticed that my tongue had swollen up very large...no wonder I had a hard time breathing.  All throughout the rest of the night I kept waking up because I couldn't keep my mouth closed due to my tongue being so big and drool was all over my pillow.  This morning when I decided to get up out of bed I checked to see if my tongue had decreased in size...no it was still huge.  My husband asked me what I was going to do and I mumbled, Go to work and call the clinic for an appointment."  I got dressed and took Olivia to daycare.  I showed one of Olivia's daycare workers, who I share God's goodness with a lot, and she said,"Oh good Lord."  I informed her that I was going to go to the clinic as soon as I could.
As I was about to leave she came over and prayed with me for about 1 minute...just asking God to heal my tongue.  Afterwards she said I know I'm not suppose to pray at work with you, but....I told her I know, but thank you so much.  As I drove from the daycare center to my work I prayed a little bit more and thanked God for the healing.  I also sang the song "This is the day the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it."  I told God I don't care if my tongue was huge and my words were mumbled I was going to praise Him anyway.  I stopped singing the song for a minute and the devil came in and told me that God can't understand what you're saying and you know what I told the devil?  I told him that God said to make a joyful noise unto the Lord and that is what I was going to do.  By the time I reached work (about 5 minutes later) you could clearly hear the words to the song and my tongue was back to normal!!  Praise the LORD from all blessings flow.  I didn't know it at the time, but I was walking out (exercising) my faith when I was praising God on the way to work.  
As I got into work I couldn't help, but tell my subordinate and boss what God had done.  Then I got to my desk and started to think about everything and how Good God is.  I needed to share this with someone, so I thought I would e-mail all the saints I knew, but then God placed it on my heart that I should share it with the unsaved as well, especially the ones I knew needed to be healed.  One of the people that needs to be healed is my commander (his back is constantly hurting him).  I pondered for a little while and said I'm going to step out on faith just like Olivia's daycare worker this morning and share with him what God has done for me because he needed to know that God could heal his back just like God healed my tongue.  I started typing up an e-mail to my commander and the devil came in and said you're going to get into trouble because you are not suppose to talk about God at work.  Do you know what I told the devil?  I told him that greater is He who is in me than of the world and that I was not going to hold back my testimony from someone who needs to hear it and I don't care what job position the person holds.  Just as I started to type the e-mail to my commander, he walked into my office.  I asked him how he was doing and he replied, "Okay, but my back is hurting."  I told him, "Sir, I want to share with you what God had done for me this morning.  I told him the story and at the end I told him that I know that God can heal your back to." As he was leaving he said, "Yeah, but...." and sighed.  His last words from departing my office was the following: I hope what you just shared with me helps. 
I say all the above to say this...sometimes you have to step out on faith.  You also have to exercise your faith because just when you are about to break through the devil will come in and tell you something that would discourage you from doing the things God would have you to do or steal your healing, deliverance, or blessing.  The devil is a liar and the truth is not in him.  His ultimate purpose in life is to steal, kill, destroy people. I encourage you to step out on faith today and exercise your faith in every situation in your life and minister to others who may need God's healing, deliverance, protection, ect.  God is more than able to do ALL things!!  Nothing is impossible for HIM!!

Love Your Sis In Christ,
Churie

P.S.  I give God ALL the GLORY, for I am nothing without him!!

Dear Pastor, 

I was raised in a Christian home by a mother who loved her Lord and consistently prayed for her children.  I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior as a teenager and still remember the day I was baptized.  However, I thought that the world had something better to offer me and strayed away from God only to become an unwed mother at 19 years old. 

Throughout these past 25-30 years, I guess you could say I tried it all, sex, drugs, parties, you name it and I tried it.  There was always an emptiness in my life, a hollow empty ring, a nothingness, (King Solomon describes it very well in Ecclesiastes). 

On January 2 2005, my husband decided to take his own life and shot himself in the head in our living room while I was at home.  It was a very traumatic and very sad time in my life and it was only by the grace of God that I managed to get through this tragic experience. 

As I study God’s word, I find that while God lets His children make their own choices in this life, He does not always agree with the choices we make, but He can use tragic experiences like mine for His purpose. 

I thank God that he kept knocking on my door and continued loving me even when I was out of His will.  I thank God for His grace & love for saving a sinner such as I am. 

 I now have a “passion” to warn other believers what can happen when you stray away from God.  I ask that you share my testimony with your congregation and others.  If only one person “wakes up” to this reality then, it will not have been in vain. 
 

Love in Jesus Christ 

Joy 
 If you are a born again Christian and currently in a relationship with an unsaved person, please read this! 

You may not have another chance to tell the person you supposedly “love” about the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have a question for you, if they were to die right now, where would they spend eternity, Heaven or Hell? 

And, would you have to spend the rest of your life with the guilt of knowing you didn’t do all that you could to try and save the one you ”love” from Hell. 

Do not take this lightly! 

It is an extremely serious situation! 

DEATH IS FINAL, you don’t get another chance. 

I was married 12 years to a man who needed Jesus as his Savior.  I thought I had more time to tell him about Jesus, but one morning after some very trying times, he took his own life and was gone, just like that, gone.  I never told him about the love of Jesus and the reason He died for us. 

My husband died an unsaved man. 

Why didn’t I tell him? 

What was I afraid of?  Was I afraid he would leave me if I got too religious for him?  Afraid.  Afraid of what?  That he might accept Jesus Christ as his Savior? 

The Bible tells us that there is a Heaven and a Hell and that God loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son to take our place and die for our sins,  THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE  on a very cruel cross.  The only way to get to Heaven is to admit we are sinners and ask Jesus to come live in us and be our Savior. 

If I could only live my life over again, knowing what I do now.  I would have never turned my back on God.  I would have been a witness for Jesus Christ to my husband, no matter the cost, regardless of what my husband said or thought of me.  Even, if he left me.  Oh!  How I wish I would have taken a stand for Jesus. 

But it’s too late for my husband.  DON’T make the same mistake I did. 

If you truly “love” this unsaved person, get right with God, re-dedicate your life to Him and come back to our Lord Jesus Christ.  Pray for a desire to have a passion in you to learn of God through His word and pray for the salvation of your loved one. 

WARNING: to all unmarried believers; do you believe God knows what’s best for you?  II Corinthians 6:14 states;  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion hath light with darkness?  I used to think this was an odd thing for our Lord to say but, now I realize there is a reason God says this! 

If you start a relationship with a person who is not saved, you will end up either straying from God and living in the world falling farther and farther away from Him or you will walk with the Lord with a very heavy heart, constantly praying for your loved one, worrying if they were going to make it through another day before they accept Jesus. 

Who knows how long you will carry this burden knowing your loved one is lost and then, there is no guarantee they will be saved. 

Are you really ready to spend your life like this?  Or do you want to live your life as God planned it for you? 

Don’t settle for less. 

Set your sights on a higher plane for that is where we live with Christ Jesus as our Lord. 

I urge you to join a Bible believing church and daily search God’s Word to learn of Him and pray for knowledge of God’s plan for your life.

You don't have to be gay:

I became a Christian when I was 12 years old. I asked Jesus into my heart during a youth rally at New Life Assembly of God in Reedsburg, WI. I then got very involved with the church youth group. After I got saved I thought my struggles with homosexuality would end, but the temptation seemed to increase. I became fascinated by the things of this world. Slowly I stopped reading the word or even praying.

At 15 years old I left the church and became involved with the gay community. For three years I was involved in the homosexual lifestyle. I was always searching for a place to fit in and was continually feeling very empty and hopeless.

In September of 1997 at 18 years old, I moved to New York City, still searching to fill the deep void I felt where I got involved with numerous pro gay agencies, that would help me adjust to such a gay populated area. I then found out about a pro gay church, and a seed of desire to search for God began. It was Sunday morning and I was leaving to go to this pro gay church. As I was leaving the youth shelter I lived at, I noticed that there service didn't start until 1:00pm, and it was only 10:00am. I asked the religious advisor at the shelter, where was a church I could go to until the service started at the "gay" church. He told me to go to Times Square Church. I had no clue of what kind of church this was. As I walked in I heard the worship, and my heart began to feel pulled. As the worship ended and the pastor came to the pulpit, I noticed that it was David Wilkerson, author of the cross and the switchblade. I broke as I realized that god had lead me to this church. Needless to say I never attended the pro gay church, but I did begin to think that I already became a Christian before and that didn't work. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through this again.

That next week was definitely a turning point in my life. On Wednesday morning as I was getting ready the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart "Wade, you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." When Sunday morning came I went to times square church. Pastor Wilkerson came to the pulpit and said that he was going to speak out of John 8:32 "you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." I knew then God was definitely calling out for me to trust Him through His process of restoration. In April of 1998 I moved to Memphis , TN to become involved with a ministry called Love In Action. It is a ministry for men and women desiring freedom form homosexuality, to deepen their relationship with God and begin to spread His love to others, and to learn the lies behind the deep non sexual roots of homosexuality.

What God has shown me through my time being here has been life changing experience. My desire is to speak out the truth as God has spoken it to me. You don't have to be gay!

God has created us in his image, and is longing for us to turn to Him. His desire for us is to give us life, not to beat us down. He is a loving and giving Father. My hope and prayer is that if God has ministered to you through His testimony in me that you would began to seek the face of God, and ask his only begotten Son into your heart. He has a plan for your life, allow Him to speak restoration into it.

... Last sunday when we in P & W I could actually smell Jesus and that was the very 1st time I ever experienced that.      COOL HUH? - Shelle' Shoup

...I went down to the barn and smelled the sweet fragrance of fresh hay. There was nothing in the barn but manure and old dry bits and pieces of hay. I realized that I was smelling the presence of the Lord. I know that it was a supernatural smell because I am very allergic to fresh hay and all I wanted to do was deeply inhale the fragrance.    -    Camille Becker

... I smelled blood. It was the smell of fresh blood. I heard God say, "It's the Blood of Jesus. The Blood is at the altar to cleanse and heal .... - Louise Lupoli

... papa George, I am your daughter in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. I served you dinner in Ahoada, remember? You prayed for me regarding my terrible problem with piles and I write you now to tell you that I was completely healed from that day forward....

I was visiting your church two years ago and had been on medication for fifteen years. I had to take it or I would die. Some of your congregation surrounded me after I had been slain in the spirit and they began to pray. I could feel tears falling on my face and the Presence of God all over me. Pastor, I have not had to take medication since. Praise the Lord!

God Bless You! I know God is answering my prayer.
I have been in deliverance for the past year. There were so many open doors in my life that daily something is being revealed. I remember vaguely playing with a ouija board as a child. My father was initially a man of God; however, I believe he died as an occcult leader. He laid in caskets as his church members passed and placed money on his tranced body. He also raised snakes and would make his entrance into service with these snakes draped around him. He left my mom when I was about 10 and died 6 years later.  To this day I can not calculate in my mind what year he died. (My mom, sister, and I never talk about this). Anyway I graduated from college as a pharmacist practiced in my career for only 10 years. Then I lost all interest in life. Not suicidal, just indecisive and aimless.

I am now the senior member of a recovery house for women and I work when I mentally can, as a temporary executive secretary.  In 1991  I stopped drinking and moved into a clean and sober house for women. However, I was paying lip service to the Christ-like life. In 1998, a crisis hit the house some women were secretly doing drugs and stealing as a result the finances of the house fell into bankruptcy we were $15,000 behind in bills. We all decided to move.  I was the last to move because I would have to relocate from Washington DC to Dallas.  As I was trying to think of what to do and how to explain to the landlord what had happen, I found a bible and the Holy Spirit took me through the entire bible in 3 months ( I had never read a bible up to that point). Then the Holy Spirit said he wanted the house to remain open. SUPERNATURALLY, the landlord forgave the back debt and the Lord  has kept the house full of recovering women and financially free ever since.

I believe 2 Jewish people will receive Christ through this house.Please pray for us. By my lifestyle, I try to  show the ladies that Jesus is the way Most of the times I feel like I am not being a very effective witness I feel alone and very isolated because my way is not well accepted  My pastor believes that all of these women are fruit for Jesus.

This morning I believe I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me about split personality due to abandonment and rejection demons.

When I read your website testimony, I started ...taking authority  over, binding and casting out tormenting demons.  I actually felt
them leave.  I often feel a since of relief; I look forward to total freedom.

If you could pray in agreement with me for freedom I would really appreciate it.  I believe the Lord really has a ministry for my life; however, the devil and his demons seem to always be 1/2 step ahead of  my belief system.  Pray that I die to myself and completely rely and depend on Jesus (which is hard for me with these inner wounds).

Father, in the name of Jesus ...thank you for your servant.  Thank you for leading me to this website this morning, I know in my heart that it was your Holy Spirit. I pray for open heaven over this ministry. In Jesus name. Amen.

God Bless You. Amen

Dear Rev. Jorge M. Stover and Dr. Sharon, 

My beloved and respectable Rev. Jorge M. Stover and Pastor Sharon, may the peace of our Lord be with your spirit. Amen!  I don’t get tired of thanking you for magnificent message, which is like honey to my soul, which fortifies it and enriches it spiritual-wise with the divine Word of God. 

Rev. Jorge M. Stover and Pastor Sharon, thank you for your marvelous message and your prayers. I know in fact, it’s touched so many souls, and many souls have been changed through your anointed teaching tapes “Realm of Faith; Resolving Conflict; He Comes; Cleansing of the Leper” from slavery and all human understanding concerning Realm of Faith; Resolving Conflict; He Comes; Cleansing of the Leper. We are very much grateful to God that he gives us eyes to see and ears to hear his faithful will and truly people that would be a captive to the word and had a vision that is fixed said upon him.  This is the cry of our hearts day by day that we would be moving and may the discourse of his word be clear like a crystalline stream that we would look through and see the glory of God.

Yes we agree with your message hundred percent, for it ministered to us so much and motivated us into life changing experience.  Grace is the word that means I bestow based upon his favor in face of people that in favor they inherit everything from God. On strict justice they inherit everything but in face of acts He gives favor and grace. And out of that cornucopia of grace, He gives free.“ Hallelujah! Glory to God. Thank you from bottom of my heart for your obedience to sacrifice yourself wholly to the Lord, to get such wonderful messages from our merciful Heavenly Father, who wants us to grow strong in His grace. May the Lord continue to bless you and your congregation. We are so blessed in listening for several times. AMEN! I place my trust, and find my glory in the power of the cross, in every victory let it set of Him, my source of strength my source of hope is Christ alone, tears flow in our eyes listening to your reflection. Please share this letter to the saints of Wellspring Ministries, that your anointed tapes blessed us so much of the word of God and impacting hundreds of people in the Philippines! I love you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are very much appreciative to you for never get tired of sending your anointed tapes for our spiritual growth. Once again thank you very much. Please keep in touch. 

May the Lord God bless you more abundantly!
 

Caring for others in God’s name,
