They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…       -Revelation 12:11

As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.        - Matthew 10:7-8

Sinus Pain Leaves:  “After suffering with sinusitis for 2 weeks I got prayer last night and am pleased to report that my sinuses are no longer congested and the pain is all gone! Thank you Jesus!”  – Connie H. (shared 9/23 via e-mail)

Back and Throat Healed: ”On Saturday night at the Delsanto’s house my back was really hurting and I asked everyone to pray for me.  I could feel heat coming from Chris’ hand as he prayed for me and the pain just switched off like a light.  On Sunday morning my throat was swollen to the point that I feared I couldn’t sing.  During Sunday school the class prayed for me and the Lord started healing me.  The last bit of soreness was gone right as I went out onto the stage and picked up the mic.  God is awesome.”  - Rob S. (shared 9/6 via e-mail)

Foot Pain Disappears:  “I had been having foot pain since January of this year and thought I would just have to live with it.  Last week, someone gave a word that God was healing feet and ankles.  On Monday, I realized that I had no pain!  My foot is still completely pain free.”  -Phyllis C. (shared at church, 8/29)

Foot Recovery:  “I had surgery on my foot and the doctors worried that complications from diabetes would keep my foot from healing and I would lose it.  When they took the bandages off my foot afterwards, they said it looks perfect and is healing fine.”  -Lisa J. (shared at church, 8/29)

Back Pain Gone:  “As we prayed for Karen’s back during service, the pain I was having in my back disappeared.”  -Dennis R. (shared at church, 8/29)

Energy Restored:  “I’ve been experiencing dizziness and fatigue for a while.  During worship today, I was full of energy; I danced for the first time in a long time and felt fantastic.”  -Mary Ann S. (shared at church, 8/29)

Acid Reflux Disappeared: “At a Sunday service about 3 weeks ago, Pam told me that God was healing me of acid reflux.  By Tuesday of that week I noticed that all my pain was gone and it still is!”   -Robyn D. (shared 8/27 at the food pantry)

Provision from God:  “God told me to identify myself as a ‘millionaire’ in his kingdom (spoken through Cherrie Kaylor and others).  As my thoughts shifted toward believing this as truth (I never ever have to worry about how I will have to pay for something because God wants to give me the desires of my heart!), I’ve seen tremendous fruit come forth.  At my high school prom this past spring, seniors were given 5 tickets to put in any drawing they wanted.  Prizes included a College Survival Kit, DVD player, giftcards, and two laptops. I put one ticket in each drawing that sounded good to me, thinking that if I was supposed to win something, I only needed one ticket to win. It just so happened that God wanted me to win a laptop that night! It’s no coincidence either, because I was looking to purchase one. Thanks God!!  This fall, I’m going to Global School of Supernatural Ministry in Mechanicsburg, PA.  As first year students, we have to go to Sao Paulo, Brazil.  The trip is not included in tuition and as you can imagine, it costs a pretty penny to cover everything.  But last month, someone told me that they wanted to sponsor my ENTIRE trip ($2,300) GOD IS AWESOME!  Thank you Lord for the people who hear from your heart.  Not to mention this past summer when I went to Curitiba, Brazil, my entire trip there was sponsored as well!!  God has really shown me his heart is not to be limited by intimidating sums of money.  He’s so much bigger!  He literally opens up heaven over me and pours out blessing after blessing. Mais Senor! :) ”    – Andrea A. (shared 8/10 via e-mail)

Chronic Knee Pain Healed:  “As of right now, I still have no pain in my knees, having suffered from severe arthritis in my knees for several years.”  – Jeff D. (shared 8/9 via e-mail after receiving prayer at church on 8/8 – note: one knee is still completely pain free as of 8/29)

Knee Pain Disappeared:  “I had pain in my knee and after receiving prayer, I was able to bounce up and down on one leg.  I wasn’t able to do that when I came in.”  – Tammy N. (shared 8/8 after service)

Leg Pain Disappeared:  “My leg hurt really bad and now it doesn’t.”  – Madison H. (age 4, after receiving prayer at VBS on 8/2)

Job Prayer Answered:  “I got the job at the City Of Pittsburgh. I will start on August 9, 2010. God is good and I hear the benefits are great.  God is good and I am satisfied. He still provides for us.”      – Dennis R. (shared 7/28 via e-mail)

Dead Hand Restored to Life:  “The doctor said, ‘your hand is dead and we have to cut it off.’  I had no use of my fingers and an infected wound that wouldn’t close; it was red, swollen and smelled awful and the doctor said the infection was spreading and could kill me.  I got prayer and God brought it back to life.”                    – Mike S. (shared in service Sun, 7/25)

Wound Healed:  “I had surgery on my stomach that resulted in a wound that wouldn’t close.  It wouldn’t go away and I had to constantly wear a bandage because of the drainage.  It was 3-inches deep and the width of a baseball.  I received prayer a couple weeks ago and the wound has closed to where I don’t have to wear a dressing on it.”                 – Willa M.(shared in service Sun, 7/25) 

Shoulder Healed:  “While in Brazil a man came to me for prayer saying his shoulder caused him great pain and he could not raise his arm above shoulder height. He demonstrated by raising his arm just under shoulder height while wincing with pain. I prayed asking the Holy Spirit to release his arm, remove the pain and bring complete restoration to his shoulder. The man turned and walked away. Puzzled, I asked the translator to stop him and ask why he was walking away. The man turned with a smile on his face, raised his hands completely above his head and said, ‘Jesus healed me completely – no more pain. Thank you!’ ”        – Chris D (from Brazil trip shared 7/27 via e-mail)

New Job:  “Officially EMPLOYED again! Start work the day after I return home from vacation! It is my best job yet: hourly rate, benefits, hour lunch, vacation time, only 10 min away and even having use of the company car. My prayer this past Feb. (when I got laid off) was that I would start a new job in August and work at Southpointe! God is so good to not only meet my needs but my hearts desire!”             – Robin A. (shared 7/23 via e-mail)

Eyesight Restored:  “later in the evening, we went for a church service, where i was able to pray for a young man with poor eye-sight for the last 3-4 years, and the doctor said tht he cannot be cured…..while i was praying for him, i felt a transference of energy from my hands to him….and he fell down! after a few minutes, i asked the translator to ask him if he can see…….he opened his eyes, looked around…then started clapping his hands and jumping up and down…he ran to me and hugged me….saying that he was completely healed!!”        – Benjamin P. (sent 7/5 via e-mail from Brazil)

Airline Favor:  “God is awesome!  Thanks to all of you for praying for the Brazil team today.  There was a minor snafu with Lydia’s passport being misplaced.  Natural expectations would have been that she missed the flight and potentially the whole trip.  However, the power of prayer carried the day as God intervened!  Lydia’s passport was found and taken to her while the airline held the plane at the gate for 30 minutes past departure time awaiting her arrival.”             – Pastor Chris (sent 6/30 via e-mail)
