    I read this again this morning, and I remember one more little detail. When I was told to pray for Helen's complete recovery in the hospital, and for her salvation in Jesus Christ, I was also to pray that the enemy be cast out of her. If the Lord tells you to do something, he will not ask you to...

    I forgot to say one thing, and that is when I was told inside my head that Helen was very ill in the hospital because of the suicide attempt...well, I was also told that it did not have to be that way. Not for her anyway. I did not want to leave that out.

    Thanks for the interest in my "Prayer at the Stoplight" write. The following was somewhat like that experience. This was totally unexpected to me, and also to my family who also experienced it. It was a Sunday, I think, and late in the day wife got a phone call from youngest daughter. She asked...

    Prayer at the Stop Light.

    This was several years ago, and I was on my way into town in my car. On the way I prayed to the Lord, and asked if there was not something that I could do for him that day. As I pulled up to a stop light I got an answer to my prayer, even though I was not expecting one right that second! They...

    The New Church Building

    jb, This was years ago, and our new pastor and his wife were wonderful, but years ago they left, and there were changes to our church again. Our denomination was always conservative, and it was not into healing. Why? I don't know. I taught Sunday School there for years, with a fine...

    The New Church Building

    We were new to the little town, and we chose to attend a small Protestant church that used a modified older home as the sanctuary. As the church grew, we really needed a larger building, and so a committee was chosen to study the matter. One day the members were invited to attend a meeting to...

    God speaking to me

    Silverwings, God does speak to us at the right time, and in the right seasons. I had not heard from him directly for several years, until I was talking to a couple who told me how much they loved Jesus. They were old, and the husband was especially frail. I was told that they would love their...

    Reading the Bible at age 15.

    Thank you to God that I started reading the Bible at age fifteen. I liked church, but had never read much of the scriptures. A few weeks before entering High School I started reading a couple verses every night just before I went to bed. Quickly I saw that I should read a chapter a night, and...

    Ted*, and Ellen*

    We met Ted, and Ellen when they had a moving sale in the same town that we lived in. We liked them, but we liked them much more when we learned that they were both strong Christians! They told us that they were getting older, and they were going to move in a few months to a senior care home. We...

    Thank you to God for hearing prayers.

    This is a website that I was a member of ages ago. I am happy to have found this again, and I am still a believer in our wonderful Christ. Actually more so now. I try to listen for God's voice in a pastor's sermon, or in the scriptures or sometimes by that still small voice. Your friend in...

    Very New Here.

    I was healed from my near death illness, which required about five years to get be back to full health. (We are given what is appropriate for our faith) I was close to death in 2002, but thanks to Jesus I got my health back. He is wonderful. Thank you, God. May all of you here get a healing...

    Marie

    Marie was an older relative, and a favorite of mine and of my whole family. I grew up with many relatives, and so I am not sure why she was so liked but she was. She was caring, and kind and had a good sense of humor. Her husband had a good sense of humor as well, and they always seemed to have...

    Reasons

    In 2001 I was not living for the Lord as I should, but I was trying to taste how life was in pursuit of my passions. I was not allowed to get very far in that pursuit, but I wanted to. In the end things changed for me and I had no choice but continue going in God's direction. I closed my...

    The Auto Accident

    This happened last month, and was the worst accident that I was ever in. I prayed about our little journey before we pulled away from our house. My wife and I were going to an auction some fifty miles away, and I prayed for our safety and also the safety of our fellow travelers. I went around...

    Lazarus

    It was many years ago, and I was a sophomore or a junior in the university and we were all given a Bible question in English class. Now the profs were far from favorable to Christianity in those days, but were probably far fairer then than many of them would be now. Anyway, the question was...

    The Snow Prayer

    It was last February, and where we live was attacked by one snow or ice storm after another. Some of our neighbors had a snow blower and they were so kind to come over and clear our driveway for us, not big but maybe 35 feet. We appreciated it so much and then I noticed that our other neighbors...

    The Unforgiveable Sin

    My father-in-law was a fine faithful Christian that I had the pleasure to know for about 20 years. He had been a sunday school teacher and loved reading the Bible. A few years ago we were called to come to see him at the hospital where he was quite ill. My wife wanted to see him once more before...

    The answer to prayer

    It was about the year 2000, and daughter had just found a new church a few weeks before and had told us good things about it and how it was a place where even miracles happened. Wife decided to go with her one evening to a special service, but I stayed at home. Wife told me that she was praying...

    The Debt

    When I needed it, about twelve years ago, my longtime wife prayed for me and my recovery and asked many other Christians to pray for me. When the prayers were answered and I began to heal, I was grateful to the Lord for it all and of course also to my wife. I prayed that one day I could pray for...
