The God That I Know
1. We will never go unchallenged on territory we take for God, the enemy will always fight to take back any victory we win. The enemy does walk about seeking whom he may devour. He will use those close to us, people at work, our own flesh, our own thoughts, anyone or anything that would make us give up the ground we’ve gained. As we push in to stay close to God and do the will of God, victory remains ours. As we wash our minds in the Word of God the stronger our faith becomes. As we Praise God He is exalted in our lives. As we pray and seek God’s face we find Him. Trials come and go. Hills and valleys, times of refreshing and barren deserts. Our walk with God is a war, we will win if we keep fighting. I have won some battles and lost many. I have been wounded and also healed. I have been counted as nothing by some people and esteemed highly by others. But of all the things I have been through, of all the things I am, I will be happy in the end to be found complete in Him.
2. When we lived at 414 Vann Circle (just living there is a testimony in itself), I had a disturbing dream. It bothered me because I thought it might be from God. I pondered over it for a couple of days. As I stood at the picture window looking outside I thought this dream could not be from God because He won’t torment His children. I ran to my bedroom where I fell on my knees and began to pray. Oh God, this dream could not be from you! As I called fervently upon God I was aware that I was no longer just in my bedroom, but in a very Holy place. A bright light was to the right and behind me. I was aware of a strong presence of God Himself.
3. On another occasion I was praying in Kim’s bedroom and I felt a presence of evil glaring at me. I stood and faced the door. I lifted my right hand up with my palm opened and started to command the being in the power of the name of Jesus. As I did this I felt a power surge down my arm and out the end of my hand.. Waves of this power kept shooting out the palm of my right hand. Although I could not see what effect it was having on the demon, I’m sure it was very damaging.
4. A couple of times my daughter-in-law has lost her wedding rings. Prayer was sent up both times and they were restored to her both times.
5. Chris had laid his expensive mobile phone down in a store, when he went back to the store it was nowhere to be found. He told me about it. I called Evelyn and told her about it. We prayed that God would return the phone to Chris. Chris had reported it stolen and the officer told him that a lot of phones get stolen and that they are rarely found. Somehow the officer located the phone and it was returned to Chris. The officer told Chris he was very lucky, but we know it had nothing to do with luck but rather God.
6. Keys had been misplaced at Chris’ house, I knew it was important that they be located so I called Evelyn to pray that the keys would be found quickly. Hope had searched everywhere for them and had not found them, so I prayed also that God would help us find them. They were found within a few minutes after prayer.
7. When my son Shane was about ten years old he wanted a pair of British Knight tennis shoes. They were expensive and I could not afford them at the time. I took his request to God in prayer and ask God to let me find a pair of British Knight shoes for my son that looked new in his exact size that I could afford. A few days later I was at a little flea market on Murray Ave. in Dalton. A woman had a pair of British Knights on her table that looked new, they were also Shane’s exact size. She was asking $5.00 for them, (a price I could afford) so I bought them and gave them to my son.
8. In the year of 2007, around the week of Easter, I wanted to purchase a dress for my friend. I had found one that I really liked but it was a cream color and very long. I was distressed because I knew my friend’s skin and hair color were both light and I was thinking that the dress would make her look washed out. I was concerned about the dress’s length also because my friend is short. I told God I needed a fair skinned woman with white hair and the height of my friend to come into the store so I could see if this dress would be suitable. I turned around and there she was! She was the same height as Evelyn, he hair and skin
