The Silversmith Some time ago, a few ladies met in a certain city to study the scriptures. While reading the third chapter of Malachi, they came upon a remarkable expression in the third verse: "And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver [Malachi 3:3]" One lady proposed to visit a silversmith, and report to them on what he said about the subject. She went accordingly, and without telling the object of her errand, begged the silversmith to tell her about the process of refining silver. After he had fully described it to her, she asked, "But Sir, do you sit while the work of refining is going on?" "Oh, yes madam," replied the silversmith; "I must sit with my eyes steadily fixed on the furnace, for if the time necessary for refining be exceeded in the slightest degree, the silver will be injured." The lady at once saw the beauty, and comfort too, of the expression, "He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." God sees it needful to put His children into a furnace; His eye is steadily intent on the work of purifying, and His wisdom and love are both engaged in the best manner for us. Our trials do not come at random, and He will not let us be tested beyond what we can endure. Before she left, the lady asked one final question, "When do you know the process is complete?" "Why, that is quite simple," replied the silversmith. "When I can see my own image in the silver, the refining process is finished."
This is a letter from my sister inlaw about my neice Staci ,God healed her of Cancer! I received a phone call from my daughter, Staci the first part of May.... She proceeds to tell me that she has been diagonised with Ovarian Cancer!!! Well, needless to say Jim and I head out for Colorado. While we're there she has her second opinion and its the same!!! Her Doctor tells her to see an onocologist right away. Now in the meantime, there are literally hundreds of people praying for her, you see usually when they find ovarian cancer it is in the late stages and there is not much that can be done. To make a very long story short... the onocologist tells her that by looking at her test results from the other 2 Doctors her outcome doesn't look good, but he is going to rerun the test and see for himself. A few days later he calls her to tell her that her test results all came back NORMAL!!! But he wants to run one just to be sure... so he does a indepth catscan. We wait...and wait and wait some more. He finally calls and tells her to sit down!!!!! (that doesn't sound good) He tells her that her catscan came back NORMAL!!!! There is no cancer at all... He ask her "Do you believe in MIRACLES"!!! He said that the results from the other doc's show the cancer and now its gone.. How awesome is our GOD!!!! When it happens to you, it is sometimes unbelieveable. I know that God is a loving and forgiving God and I believe that He can and does heal, but there is always that one point in your belief that the enemy plays on.... There is nothing more important to Jim and I than our family and when something like this happens you have to step up and just BELIEVE.... Everyday I thank GOD for all that HE has blessed us with. For all of you out there that have praying for her THANK YOU!! And for the ones that are reading this and saying "yeah right" ..... well it's your right not to believe BUT it's my right to believe and I do!!!! God Bless
MY Testimony ( Holy Spirit. tongues,Visions ) MY Testimony,Debbie LaGant :Jesus appeared to me....This has been my third vision in my life time. The Baptisem of the holy spirit!
June 19,2000,I was sitting in my livingroom reading the holy bible,I was reading only the words in red that day,I stood up and begain to read the words with all the life in me,I was thinking how fresh those words are just as fresh as the day Jesus spoke them,I felt so refreshed inside ,I then felt to go and pray alone in my room . I closed the door behind me and got on my knees to be humble and asked the Father for the gift of tongues and the understanding of it,four of my brothers are Pastors and they have recived it and also my dad.I then stood up I said Jesus I dont know how to speak in tongues so I will praise you in english,I felt I had the gift but didnt know how to speak it,so I begain to praise Jesus and thank him in english,then I felt him enter the room it was a feeling Ive never felt before ,I then saw a ray of white light before me, I felt a touch on my head and it felt like a wave went through me and my english was changed to tongues! and the ray of light opened ,I then saw where the light was coming from,it was coming from the top of my bedroom ceiling where I knew no natural light could enter,this light wasnt as are light but as a white soft fog,I begain to shake all over Ive never shook like this before and my ears couldnt believe what my mouth was saying,I thought my god I just asked Jesus for something and hes doing it,I then felt the middle of my stomach jolt up! And this was the begining of a fresh new life for me. Then on Nov 1 2000 about 1:58 am there came another visit,I just turned over in my bed and that white fog entered my room, I thought it was my eyes , I rubbed them but the fog begain to take form and shape,the white fog became two white squares that formed together and begain to rise up higher,I sat up in my bed I said Jesus? I then stood up to pray I said father if this be not of you to go away in Jesus name. I then opened my eyes the the white fog was the complete form of a ghost shape I believe it was the Holy Ghost,Then the face got bright with spikes of light all around like a sun,and then the face had gotton even brighter! spikes of light came from the face shaped in the form of an X shape and I then saw a lovely rainbow appear over the head of this bright face three colors red,yellow blue,most rainbows have the dark colors at the bottom but this rainbow had the dark colors at the top I dont know whybut over the colors of this rainbow was white crowns of light little dips of light ,Then the vision was gone,all I could do was just stand in awe,I went to seek in the bible for some answers to who this was whom I saw and the first bible verse I kept coming across said dont you even know me though Ive been with you all this time if youve seen me youve seen the father,then I was lead to Ezekiel1:28 it speaks of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain it saws the same is as the glory of the lord....Then I read in Matthew 17 :2 where it speaks about Jesus being transfigured on the mount it says his face does shine as the sun and his clothes white as light,all these verses matched my vision ,Then came the verse that hit me hard was Rev 10:1 it said his face does shine as the sun and he has a rainbow over his head ,I then knew this was Jesus whom I saw I fell to my knees crying and said Jesus this was you who I saw wasnt it and I spoke out in the holy spirit and said it was I my love ....all whom I asked ho this was in Rev 10:1 said Jesus ,shortly after this vision Jesus appeared to me face to face in a dream and he still visits me in my dreams even till this day,I know he will never leave me nor forsake me,old things are passed away and behold all things become new!As Paul says in the bible it is not I who lives but Christ who lives in me! I Praise and Thank Jesus for all he has done and is doing! I will never be the same again! Recieve ye the Holy Ghost In Jesus Name! Love in Christ Jesus ,Debbie
Heaven's Grocery Store I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read, "Heaven's Grocery Store".
As I got a little closer the door came open wide,
and when I came to myself I was standing inside.
I saw a host of Angels, they were standing everywhere.
One handed me a blanket and said, "My Child shop with care".
Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store,
and all you can't carry, come back the next day for more. First, I got some Patience, Love was in the same row.
Further down was Understanding, needed everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom, a bag or two of Faith,
I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, it was all over the place.
I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race,
but then my blanket was getting full, and I remembered I needed Grace. I didn't forget Salvation, which like the others was free,
so I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
for I thought I had everything to do my master's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and had to put it in,
for I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.
Peace and Joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
Song and Praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself. Then I said to the Angel, "How much do I owe"?
The Angel smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again, I politely asked "How much do I really owe?"
The Angel smiled again and said, "My Child, Jesus Paid Your Bill
A Long Time Ago."
