Chance Meeting & Prayer

dsc00482Yesterday I met up for lunch with some old friends and when we were almost finished eating I saw a woman I used to work with walk by outside who I hadn’t seen in at least 2 years, so I quickly went to the window to tap on it and wave hello and invite her inside. She reacted with shock because she said just at that moment while she was walking by she was just thinking of me and how I loved to eat at this place!

She came and sat at our table and my friends had to go, but I stayed  and she began to unload and I learned she and her husband were struggling in their marriage, their job and financial situation and their health. She asked me out of desperation if I knew of anything that would help because she felt hopeless. I asked if I could pray for her and we both started tearing up because we knew this was all the Holy Spirit’s doing to encourage her. I told her about Sozo ministry, which she’d never heard of and was eager to check out. Yay God!

Bank Prayer & Transformation

Bank-Office-DeskI work at a bank with strict policies on this but stepped out in faith and prayed with a client for her daughter who had just been admitted to the ward of a hospital with a serious mental illness. Her daughter would barely eat, shower and talk. She basically couldn’t function on her own. I called her the next day after our prayer to see if there was any change in her daughter’s state. Unfortunately, there was no change. Refusing to give up hope however, I invited the client to our next Engage group to receive healing and prayer. [Read more…]

Neighbor Healed!

front-doors-17I just moved into a new neighborhood and decided to go door to door and invite my neighbors to my housewarming party. As my elderly next door neighbor opened the door she said she was in a lot of pain from falling down the stairs the day before. She said her back was black with bruises and her shoulder really hurt. I told her I regularly saw people healed and asked if I could pray for her so she could feel better. [Read more…]

Praying Together

On Monday a co-worker came to me in tears that her sister-in-law in Nigeria had been kidnapped. I held her while she cried and then prayed for her safe release to be SOON. She just texted me that she has been released! Praise God!

Circling Back

blind-caneIt was a beautiful sunny afternoon, we were running to Target to pick up some chips and things to contribute to the afternoon picnic with friends. After gathering our items, there in the center of the median was a lady with dark glasses and a walking stick, holding a sign asking for help. We swooshed past and headed down the road.

As we arrived at the park, we dropped our teenager and her friend off, told them to go ahead and to tell our friends we would be back shortly. My husband read my mind and knew I wanted to go back and see if we could help the lady we had seen. We would get a couple of sandwiches and drinks – then take a moment to meet her. [Read more…]

House Miracles

for-sale-signI listed a house for a client last Thursday evening, and prepared to host an open house on Sunday. On Friday the homeowner called to tell me that her AC went out and according to her brother, who is in construction, the AC unit was completely shot and she would need a new unit. [Read more…]
