Christi VS. Truck

This is a miracle written and recorded by a member of Pastor Pearl’s Church in CO. She attended our church during the Missionary Conference February, 2009.

My name is Christi Steen. On Aug 26, 2006 I was at 92^nd and Sheridan in Denver, Colorado. I had gone to Archivers (a scrapbooking store) and then to Wendy’s to eat lunch. I pushed the button to get the walk signal to go across the street to Michaels. I got the walk signal and started walking across the street. I am 4′9″ tall and I saw headlights even with my eye. I heard a crunch on my head. I had been hit by a pick up truck.

The next thing I remember is a man saying, “Hold on the ambulance is coming, hold on”. Then the ambulance got there. They got me to the hospital. The next thing I remember the doctor was telling me that they had done a cat scan and I had a broken femur and that they were going to take me to surgery to put a rod in my leg. My clothes were cut off and I was taken to surgery. A titanium rod was implanted in my leg. I had a broken collarbone and a concussion too.

When the policeman came to see me that night he said I was thrown 20 feet. God had protected me and I felt no pain. If I sat in one position too long there would be a little discomfort. I was in the hospital for 6 days. I was out of work for 3 weeks. I was on a walker for 2 months. I could not go upstairs for 2 months. My bedroom and bathroom are upstairs. I did not get to see or use my bedroom and bathroom for 2 months. I had to walk with a cane for 6 weeks after that.

When I had my last appointment with the doctor I asked him about a lump on the left side of my knee. He said my leg was so small and that it was the screw. He said it could be removed in a day surgery if it bothered me. It did bother me sometimes. It felt like it was scraping against the bone. I went in to have the screw removed and when I came out of the surgery the doctor had removed the whole rod. I am healed now.

Christi has worked hard to get this to us… computer problems, etc; I am thankful for her perseverance. Thank you Christi!

James 5:13-16 – Pray and be healed

13 Are any among you suffering? They should keep on praying about it. And those who have reason to be thankful should continually sing praises to the Lord.
14 Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. And anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.

All Night Headache

It is truly a small thing compared to the cancers, diabetes, tumors, heart attacks, strokes and other incredible miracles that have happened to members of our church.  But it was miserable last Saturday night when I was up all night with a headache.  In the morning, the pain moved more towards my ear; I really felt I was getting an ear infection.

After my husband Patrick left for choir practice, about 8:15, I was able to fall asleep and then woke up about 12 o’clock and felt just fine, perfectly fine. I am thankful for the healings, even small ones.

A Word for Christians Against Conspiracy Theory (Isaiah 8:11-13,16 NLT)

1. Again the LORD said to me, “Make a large signboard and clearly write this name on it: Maher-shalal-hash-baz. “
2. I asked Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah, both known as honest men, to testify that I had written it before the child was conceived.
3. Then I slept with my wife, and she became pregnant and had a son. And the LORD said, “Call him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4. This name prophesies that within a couple of years, before this child is old enough to say ‘Papa’ or ‘Mama,’ the king of Assyria will invade both Damascus and Samaria and carry away their riches.”
5. Then the LORD spoke to me again and said,
6. “The people of Judah have rejected my gentle care and are rejoicing over what will happen to King Rezin and King Pekah.
7. Therefore, the Lord will overwhelm them with a mighty flood from the Euphrates River ? the king of Assyria and all his mighty armies.
8. This flood will overflow all its channels and sweep into Judah. It will submerge Immanuel’s land from one end to the other.
9. “The Assyrians will cry, ‘Do your best to defend yourselves, but you will be shattered! Listen all you nations. Prepare for battle ? and die! Yes, die!
10. Call your councils of war, develop your strategies, prepare your plans of attack ? and then die! For God is with us! ‘”
11. The LORD has said to me in the strongest terms: “Do not think like everyone else does.
12. Do not be afraid that some plan conceived behind closed doors will be the end of you.
13. Do not fear anything except the LORD Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else.
14. He will keep you safe. But to Israel and Judah he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap that entangles them.
15. Many of them will stumble and fall, never to rise again. Many will be captured.”
16. I will write down all these things as a testimony of what the LORD will do. I will entrust it to my disciples, who will pass it down to future generations.

Psalm 107: 19-22 Thanksgiving

“LORD, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
He spoke, and they were healed ? snatched from the door of death.
Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for all his wonderful deeds to them.
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts. NLT

Psalm 106:2

Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD? Who can ever praise him half enough? Ps 106:2 NLT

Psalm 105: 1-5

1. Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
2. Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his miracles.
3. Exult in his holy name; O worshipers of the LORD, rejoice!
4. Search for the LORD and for his strength, and keep on searching.
5. Think of the wonderful works he has done, the miracles and the judgments he handed down,

Psalms 103:2 and 3

Praise the LORD, I tell myself, and never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. NLT
