The Workings of God Through Humanity.

Write about how God has used you and others. Be specific, let God be given the glory.

Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.

We serve a God that operates in the realm of impossibilities.

This thread isn't a debate, its not about your knowledge. This thread is about faith.

This testimony occurred about 10-13 years ago. Im very close with the elder that this happened to.

An elder was awakened from knocking at his front door around 12-1am. As he opened the door to his surprise it was the police. They told him what they were there for, he tried to correct them, yet to no avail. They read him his rights and took him to jail. While in his cell there were three other men, as time went on they began telling him what they were in for. He told them he was a preacher and was being falsely accused. He began to minister to them, he told them about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. This went on for hours, the men were weeping as this elder gave them the message of hope.

Finally a deputy came to the cell, brought the elder into another room, and quickly apologized. He was released immediately! He was being charged with domestic violence (beating his wife), the odd thing about the whole situation is, this elders wife has been dead for a couple years already.

The three men that he witnessed to found an apostolic church upon release and they were saved the way Acts 2:38 describes. Those three men are still in church today, they're preaching this gospel.

Thank you Jesus!

The God we serve operates in the realm of impossibilities.

A man I know, was driving one night and he was being pulled over by a state trooper. He was thinking maybe he was speeding, license plate light may have been out? The trooper came to the door, and saw a bible in the passenger seat. He asked the man if he was a minister, and the minister said yes he was. The trooper put his head down and asked him if he could pray over him. The minister prayed with the trooper right there on the highway. After the prayer the trooper got back into his car and left.

The situations we go through are for a reason.

A little baby girl was born with an incurable disease caused by a rare genetic defect. It was verified by several specialist doctors including one who flew in from the Mayo Clinic specifically to verify this rare disorder. Everyone told the parents the baby had about maybe a week to live, if that, and to make the funeral arrangements.

The family was devastated. The uncle notified his half brother and sister in law, and with tears in his eyes asked them to please pray. He knew they were apostolic "holy roller Bible thumpers" and figured at a time like this who else might know how to get ahold of God?

So they prayed that very hour. And the next. And the next. For about 4 or 5 hours intercession was made. The spirit of prophecy took over the half brother who prophesied "The Great Physician has overruled the doctors, they are mistaken in their diagnosis."

The next day the specialist from the Mayo Clinic ordered "one more test" which was out of the ordinary as the diagnosis had already been verified several times. But for some inexplicable reason the doctor wanted one more verification.

Well, to almost everyone's surprise, the little girl appeared to have been misdiagnosed all those times. She had a minor skin irritation instead. Instead of dying before leaving the hospital, she went home the next week and lo and behold is currently in her late 20s enjoying life.

I say to "almost everyone's surprise" because there were two people who heard and believed Jesus give the proper diagnosis that night in prayer, the half brother and his wife. Jesus is never wrong.

I know a Christian who used to be pretty poor, with a wife and kids but no job, no car, and no money. They reached a point where one day they literally had no food and no way to get any. Didn't even have any way to get to any local soup kitchen. So they prayed. And a couple hours later a woman pulled up to their little RV shack they were living in. She told them "You will think I'm crazy and maybe I am but I was driving down the road and as sure as I'm talking to you now I felt God Himself told me to go grocery shopping. So I did. Then it seemed He had me drive around until I came here. As I drove by I just KNEW this is where I was supposed to be. So I don't know what's going on but here's a trunk load of groceries."

Jesus always provides.

A young apostolic man and his sister had a flat tire one night in a Walmart parking lot. They tried changing it but one lug nut was stuck and immovable. A man walked up and offered to help. He was big and strong and broke the lug nut loose. The young man and his sister looked at each other like "Wow, this guy is strong!" They both turned to thank the guy but there was nobody there. Nobody walking off nearby, nothing. Not a trace.

God's angels are sent to minister to His people, and are often mistaken for regular men.

I was born with a heart defect that caused my aorta to become almost closed shut. Undetected from the doctors at my birth I went on to my teenage years without never noticing it. I tried out for my high school traveling basketball team, (played sports all my life) and was denied because of high blood pressure. The Doctor tried increasing the dose, nothing seemed to work. Went to a cardiologist and they found out through a couple procedures that my heart was three times the normal heart size for my age (15) and my aorta was almost closed shut. My blood pressure was 190/130 in my leg is was in the mid 200s. I had to get an operation to replace the aorta. After the operation, my blood pressure was still high, doctor visit after doctor visit, I was told I need to take several medication for the rest of my life. I moved to another state when I was 18, to get away from my former life and was invited to attend an Apostolic church. Yet, I was no longer on my parents insurance, and the medication was costing me a couple hundred a month. Out of desperation I asked God to heal me, and began to thank him for healing out of pure raw faith. All I know is that I consider to of heard an audible voice from God, that simply said "thank you". I remember a man that started coming to church just about the time I was. I told him what God has done for me, and he provoked me in a way Ive never been before. He told me if, God healed you, then why are you still taking those pills twice a day? I didn't have an answer for him, the thoughts of the doctors telling me, it was very important to take the pills otherwise it would lead to my heart failing, and I should never just quit "cold turkey". Yet, I know what I heard! I can take you to the gutter as the rain waters were flowing to the drain that I dumped every heart medication I had. I watched them dissolve, and I felt liberty from the spirit of fear. That was just about 20 years ago, the last time I was at the doctors my blood pressure was 119/72.

Thank You Jesus!

A couple were attending a church in the early 90s as they were searching for truth and a salvation from they're sin filled life. Yet, the church they were attending was nothing short of a cult. At first they were drawn in, it was unlike any church they have previously attended. They began noticing things that were "odd" to them and another couple in the church. One night in a small farm town of Illinois, the two couples were at a diner eating and asking each other if they have noticed some dark things in the church. When a big semi pulls up to the diner, a man walks in, and sits at they're table. The man began to tell them what's going on in that church, he tells them things that they didn't even know, he finally tells them to leave that church.
As the man left the diner, one of the men walked out to further talk with him, and in shock the man and semi truck were no where to be found!
