Announcement:
I have cataracts on both
eyes. They are growing. It is hard to read on my laptop and tablet. My eyes
feel strained and tired. Therefore, I’ve had to cut down or even eliminate
reading your blogs, my friends and followers. Terribly sorry, but that is the
way it is for now. I’ll be getting surgery sometime this spring or summer. I’m
hoping to return and start reading again.
I love to read your blogs.
They usually inspire me. I love hearing how God is working in people’s lives.
So, I will come back when my eyesight is normal. I will also still be posting
once a week if I feel God wants me to.
So on to my post for today.
Dreams and
Miracles
I wanted to share with you
some of the miracles that have taken place for a group called GLOW – Giving Light
to Our World. It is part of the ministry for my church, Seventh-Day-Adventist.
I don’t go to church any longer because of many reasons, one being I am not
mentally well and find it hard to be around people. I rarely leave my
apartment, but I’m very happy here with my family.
Anyway, my mom gets a
magazine from the church and they had an article about what has happened with
GLOW this year. I want to share this exciting news with two stories:
“In the U.S. Liz was
working at home when she heard a knock on the door. When she opened it, David,
who was handing out GLOW pamphlets, was already walking away. Liz called out to
let him know she was home. Back on her porch, David handed Liz a GLOW paper.
“I have chills right now!”
Liz said. “Not too long ago I had a dream. In the dream I saw two ministers of
the gospel coming to my house sharing literature.” David was thrilled to hear
about her dream, but he was the only person there.
Just then, Taylor, his
ministry partner, arrived. He had run out of tracts and had come looking for
David to get more. Now there were two ministers of the gospel at her door.
Liz looked at David and
Taylor, “I believe this is from God. In my dream I saw two ministers at my door
bringing me hope. I heard a voice from heaven saying, “This is your last
chance. I am coming back soon!” Please pray for me. I need Jesus in my life.
This story came from the
Philippines:
A church member was
walking through several neighborhoods handing out GLOW tracts. In his city, it
was customary for trash to be swept into small piles near the street and
burned. Someone lit a pile of trash near where the missionary was handing out
pamphlets.
A man walked by and noticed one piece of paper that would not
burn. He picked it up and tried to light it, but it wouldn’t catch fire. He
called some people over to see this strange happening. Speechless, the crowd
watched his failed attempts to burn this pamphlet.
Across the street, the
church member noticed the crowd and went to see what was happening. Stunned, he
told them he was the person handing out the leaflets. He invited them all to an
evangelistic meeting at his church that evening. Some came just for the one
meeting, others continued to come until the series ended. Several of the
eyewitnesses of the tract that wouldn’t burn were baptized.
