Sarah's Story // August 2009 // Downtown Nashville

This is a throwback story from our dear friend Sarah! 

"Lolita was on the bus bench by herself. I was looking for anyone who looked “available” to be ministered to and she did. I was already determined that I was going to step out and pray for people that summer night. I had another friend with me as I approached this woman. I found an ice breaker, rather than just interrupt her with “exuse me to do you have any pain in your body?”, I said “are you waiting for the bus?” She said "no". I asked her if she had any pain in her body, and she said “you must have spiritual gifts!” She went on to say that her back hurt and she had been praying for someone to come and pray with her. She was in a car wreck four years prior and it took a lot away from her life, including her memories. Me and my friend prayed for her for restoration of what was stolen and her back to be healed, among other things. We felt the presence of God and her back was healed! She was blessed and so were we."

Danielle's Story // 4.20.14 // GC Prophetic

On the way to church, I was asking the Lord who He wanted me to talk to once I got there. I felt like He was saying that I was to talk to the first School of Supernatural Life student that arrives to our prophetic ministry. I wrote down the word and scripture that I felt like He was sharing with me for this person. 

I felt like He was saying to encourage the person with Galatians 6:9, which says "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." I also felt like He was saying that there was a friend that she was reaching out to and she may not have felt like they were getting anywhere with her friend. I also felt like He was saying that He was proud of her for reaching out to that person.

As I waited for the first School of Supernatural Life student, I was a tid bit nervous of who was going to walk in and who this word was for because it felt kinda specific and I also felt like it was going to be a lady. The first student walked in and she was older than me and really plugged into the church, so I immediately got nervous. 

I pushed through the nervousness and gave her the word. As I delivered the word, she kinda just looked at me with no expression on my face, which made me even more nervous. Once I got to the end, she told me how a particular friend had written her a card the day before and how she was a little apprehensive about it because that relationship had been a little rocky. Then she looked at me teary eyed and told me that this was confirmation that she had been doing the right thing with not giving  up on her friend! 

I was so excited to get this feedback, because I was so intimidated by her because I looked up to her so much. I love that I was able to partner with God and bring confirmation to my friend! God is so good!
