Praise Reports

Gaudet took a serious fall in June while out on the local streets passing out information about the church that resulted in a severely broken shoulder bone. She has been back to the doctor who has confirmed he is now confident that she would not have to have the surgery he discussed with her at the initial Xray appointment. Gaudet has a healed shoulder without medication or any medical intervention. She did not accept the medications prescribed to her at the time of her visit to the emergency room because being a nurse she is aware of the side effects of the pharmeceuticals and preferred to trust the Lord with her healing.

Last Friday night Gaudet said she awoke at four in the morning and began to pray. She finished at five in the morning but began speaking with the Lord and asking Him about His promises to her and complaining that she is not seeing His answers come to pass. She was upset despite knowing that when you complain it ruins your entire day with negative emotions. The Holy Spirit directed her to open her bible to Luke in the first chapter and to verse twenty where it says you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place because you did not believe My words which will be fulfilled in their own time. Gaudet instantly asked the Lord to forgive her but she really did not totally understand why she would not be able to speak. Later in the day Pastor Victoria called her and Gaudet asked her about it and Pastor exclaimed that is was clear. Gaudet asked the Lord to forgive her and that she knew He was not a liar and she would quiet her complaints until the manifestation of His promise to her was fulfilled.

Gaudet was encouraged to share a testimony despite her thinking it was not significantly large enough to share. She began by testifying that God has been very good to her, a single mother for many years whose children are now young people who have gone on to be educated and established in the lives. Gaudet said as a single mom who is now off on a medical leave due to a fall that broke her shoulder, she is watching what she spends to be wise and have enough for her family who are still living at home. After she prayed a week ago Friday she felt she was to give in the offering but had nothing to give. She felt the Holy Spirit bring the thought to her mind that she in fact had ten dollars in her purse but she argued that it was to buy peanut butter as her family consumes it on a daily basis. She obeyed and gave that last ten dollars in her purse and went home to her room and on her night table was an envelope left for her by one of her sons containing two hundred dollars for her. Gaudet testified that to obey without hesitation is what pleases the Father and allows Him to get what we need to us.

Liz and Alan testified firstly that being part of this church and its leadership has brought untold blessings into their lives through the teaching and examples they have received. They learned to pray and receive instruction from the Word of God before setting out on any endeavour and did so in their recent purchase of a major asset. They prayed and anointed it and believed it would be theirs through a reasonable purchase price and despite initially being told it was not available and then being refused financing despite their impeccable records, they have moved forward during the four month process. They testified that violent faith is prayer, fasting and determination in the face of negative circumstances that are subject to change by the Word of God.

As Dora was driving out of her home driveway to take a left turn, she did not see an oncoming vehicle traveling at a good speed. She is thanking God that the boy driving suddenly saw her and avoided her or they would of both been in trouble.

At the beginning of June, Alan was struck with an initially unknown malady that was effecting his lungs and liver. Doctors diagnosed what they thought it could be and advised he would be off work for many weeks to recuperate. Alan was up and back to work in just over ten days and had a clean bill of health from the doctor for something that would of been with him for some time.
