Testimony Thread - Come on in!!

It's not my blessing but my moms.

12/31 she was in a really bad accident. Basically she walked away unscathed (thank God and you ladies for praying). Anyways, her car was total, she still owed a couple thousand on it and she really didn't have the money for another car. She was sad and bothered about her OLD car, etc.

Well this past week her insurance company is going to give her $10k to pay off her total car, deductible and the remaining for her to get another car. She's waiting for them to send her the check, which will take a little while.

Saturday, she went to the Nissan dealership and bought........a BRAND NEW 2012 FULLY LOADED NISSAN SENTRA!!

The car cost about $24k (I think) she got it for about $19,000, with no money down and her interest rate is less than 2%.

God turned her tragedy into a blessing.
 
My testimony is too personal to share but I will say that God is truly a God of restoration and second chances. He really does look out for His children even when they falter. In 2011, God protected me from the worst despite the fact that I may have deserved the worst. Sure, I did experience consequences for faltering, and the consequences were difficult to bear. However, God gave me a second chance at a bright future rather than letting my sins utterly destroy that future.

(This wasn't my situation, but) Just imagine drinking and driving and then fatally hitting someone with your vehicle. Now imagine drinking and driving but getting caught BEFORE you kill someone. The latter situation? That's God. You are sinning, but God is preventing your sinning from ruining your life ... and another's life. Otherwise, you know full well the devil will let you keep on driving until hit someone.
 
So, the Daniel Fast should be ending for a lot of us who fasted corporately with our church. I know there are some more testimonies. Bring 'em on, ladies!! Who's next??

Oh God is soo good!!

2011 has been a blessing. He had taken DH and I from places of of darkness and want and has increased his 100 fold.

God has put the word of 'unprecedented favour' on my heart and I am standing on this for 2012.

I will have a testimony to share very soon in here for my God says;

Mark 11:24 *Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Romans 12:12 *Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Luke 11: 9 *"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10*For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11*"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12*Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

Lord, I thank you because I am not worthy, but you see past that and choose to love and bless me regardless. Lord I pray for increase in faith; and thank you for your blessing ahead of time. Amen
 
I posted this in the prayer schedule thread. But here is my testimony!

Ladies,

I want you to know that prayer changes things. I have put my request here for you ladies to pray about my receiving employment. I just lost my online job and had NO INCOME!

God told me in January that I will be contacted by a company. I was and went on several interviews. I KNEW I had the job, but it hadn't manifested yet.

Well went back last week for ANOTHER INTERVIEW. I was told on the SPOT face to face by the manager "I want you. I don't want anyone else." I was floored.....FAVOR from GOD!

I've been trying to surpass a certain yearly salary amount. Going into this job, I already met the minimum amount, he offered me MORE than the minimum.

I AM SO HAPPY!

Thank you Jesus!!! No I'm off to tell family.
 
So, I had to take a break between my classes to congratulate you MarriageMaterial!!! I thank God for hearing the prayers!! And everything you mentioned (favor, more money than you asked for, etc.) is EXACTLY what we all prayed in agreement for. I have tears of joy for you...I am SOOO happy for you. :creatures:woot::circle: :creatures

God is GOOD :yep: :amen: and :amen:

You have no idea how much this testimony has blessed me. Reminders about the power of prayer are necessary!
 
TraciChanel Thanks girl!

Hi Ladies,

I've been away this week (traveling for work). I just wanted to give an update. I GOT MY APARTMENT!! Mind you, I had a BK and other stuff on there and I really shouldn't be approve for my apartment. The apartment complex actually said we wouldn't approve anyone with a BK as new as yours. But you can fill out an application (for free) to see what happens.....well GOD happened. I was approve and I am moving weekend. I was trying to find the testimony thread....but couldn't.

Anyway, I want to thank you ladies for praying for me. These last few years have been "stormy" and I'm glad the storm is so over!!

Ok, I have to get to packing, because I move tomorrow.

But thank you ladies for standing in agreement. Like the Word says (don't throw stones if I misquote) When two or three are gathered in my name, I am in the midst of thee.

Here is my testimony as promised..

God has been merciful as always and has granted me the desires of my heart.

Despite many attempts by the devil to keep me down God prevailed, and I was succesful in obtaining the career of my dreams. Where I will be making way more money that I currently am, that will allow me to grow and be successful and ultimately give glory to God.

I am so in awe of God. I want to tell everyone about his grace and mercy.
 
For the past few months my mom started seeing a new doctor who was actually very caring and trying to find the source of her anemia. In October she went in for an ultrasound and they found tumors in her uterus. They did a biopsy and they came back non-cancerous and non-life threatening so she wouldn't have to have her uterus taken out. This past week she went in to have her intestines, kidneys, and liver examined. The doctor found out that she HAD an ulcer and that it HEALED itself. If none of this was God then I don't know what is.
 
OP my church had a different type of service last week. They dedicated over an hour to present testimonies. My pastor said that the only thing can change a non-believers heart is our testimony. Several people gave their testimony of healing, financial breakthroughs, miracles. I shed quite a few tears and it was really moving. I love reading/hearing testimonies.
 
I remember when January 2012 rolled in and everyone was giving testimonies about how good God had been to them in 2011. I was in a state of quandary then because while I really wanted folks to know that, in 2011, God:
-made a way for me to get my Ph.D. ahead of most of my peers
-allowed me to be awarded a prize as the top medical scientist at my university
-brought good people in my life, took negative ones out
-blessed me to publish in a top tier scientific journal
-favored me in soo many instances...
-made sure there was no lack, no sickness, nothing missing or broken in my life
etc. etc.

There it was, January 2012 and God was already just POURING in favor and blessings! For instance, I was scheduled to work the first week of January but for some reason (I can't recall now) I was still needing to extend my holidays a week longer. Checked my email...my boss told me to take an extra week without my asking! :grin: Shortly after that, I realized that I may not be able to make rent for Feb due to other expenses I had. I prayed about it and within 48 hours I had $2100 :drunk:. ( Awesome, huh? Hold on...I'm not done yet! :grin:). I also needed a permit for my job, I had applied for one around 3 months prior and when I checked the status online, it was still on step 1 of a 6 step process to be approved. I prayed about it, because I needed it right away...within a few days it soared through the other 5 steps and was approved :drunk:. God is GOOD!!!!!! No way I could tell it all!!!!!

No gimmicks, no need to stare at pictures willing things to happen, no chanting...nothing! God is not a genie but an on-time, mighty-to-save, loving God whose ear is open to the prayers of the righteous :yep:. Nothing is too great nor too small! Seriously, God even helped me to find some earphones...EARPHONES! I was in my apt thinking- man, I wish I had some earphones to help me get thru the day at work. For 'some reason' that same day I was led into a drawer I hadn't been in for months...it's a messy drawer that I avoid...and I found a pair of working earphones. I wasn't even looking for any! I dunno how they got there and they don't look familiar...must've been in there for YEARS...idk and don't care :grin:. I was so shocked I called my Mom:lol:--was so surreal y'know?

But praise God for His FAVOR! I try to be a faithful tither and indeed He has been FAITHFUL!!!!!
Because of who He is, I give Him glory, praise, honor!!!!! HE IS AN A-W-E-S-O-M-E GOD :')

Hello, Everyone! I am back. Please refer to post #15 for background.

So, I just wanted to come back to update and add to my previous testimony I made in January. I am FINALLY pregnant! :grin: I wanted to wait until I was further along to announce it. I make 12 weeks tomorrow.

So, as I stated in January, I had fibroid-removal surgery and was given the all clear to attempt to conceive naturally. Well, the year started off pretty rough and by the time August rolled around with no luck, I started to get real depressed. I honestly didn't even want to go back to the fertility specialist because I was just so tired of being poked and prodded especially after the surgery.

Mind you, this entire time we had been trying naturally. Although I never ruled out assisted fertility methods, I was very afraid of the medications and things that must be taken especially the shots not to mention the costs, so I was consistently praying to conceive naturally.

Well, in September, I sent my sister this long depressing text message pretty much saying I didn't understand why this was happening to me and what did I do to deserve this etc. I was REALLY REALLY down. At the time, I was 99.9% sure that my cycle was going to start soon as I was getting all the tell-tale signs (cramping, bloating, headaches, moody, etc.). This was on a Thursday.

Saturday rolls around and I buy a whole new jumbo pack of Always from Wal-Mart. :lachen: Again, I was so sure my cycle was coming. So, Sunday rolls around and nothing. Because I had been trying to conceive for so long, I still had some pregnancy tests stashed away. So, I proceeded to take one fully expecting for it to be negative. I just wanted some peace of mind.

Suprisingly, the test was positive. I took a second one - still positive. I called my fertility doctor that Monday, and it was confirmed via blood test. The doctor continued to monitor me all the way up to 9 weeks to be sure the pregnancy looked viable. After that point, I graduated to the regular ole OB doctor; no more fertility specialist. :drunk:

I know many advise against sharing a pregnancy so early, but I feel like God didn't bring me this far to leave me. I am confident that me and this little one will be a-ok for the duration.

I just wanted to share my story with all of you because every time I think about it - it warms my heart to no end and I am so grateful and blessed. :yep: My God is an on-time God.
 
GulfCoastChica, congratulations!! I'm SOOOOO happy for you! God bless you, your hubby, and your baby. I know you will have a happy pregnancy :yep:
