Jesus Rocks!!! A Tribute to answered prayers


prayers
Below are three recent AWESOME answered prayers, and i know there is more so please, PLEASE comment below with your answered prayers. Let's not let the amazing things God is doing hide.

1. I had been praying that the Lord would get me involved and use me this summer. I told trace on Sunday that i had been praying and really felt that it would be cool if we could get a bible study for guys just to talk and live life together. Monday night we went out to dinner for my birthday which was the day before and two old friends showed up randomly. We started to talk and without any coaxing on my part, one of the guys you would least expect this comment from rattled out in the middle of the conversation, "This may sound a little corny, but i don't care, i think we should really start a Bible study." Trace and i looked at each other in disbelief. God is good.

2. My friend Kim Clark was over seas on a missions trip and was doing a little street evangelism. She knows sign language because her sister is deaf. She ended up talking to two guys on the street, one of which was also deaf. She talked to them and asked if she could pray for them. While she was praying in sign language, the deaf guy stopped her in the middle of her prayer because he heard something behind him... did you catch that.... for the first time he could HEAR!

3. My other friend David Carillo was over in Hawaii. A man was brought to him and his friends. This man had a crippled/disfigured leg. He had gotten hit by a car(i think) or something like that and didn't have anyone to treat it. David and his friends prayed over this disfigured leg showing through his torn jeans, and watched as it started reform before their very eyes to where i believe David said the man could walk again.

Matthew 21:21-22
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

Once again, share your stories, so we can hear, have our faith increased, and praise God. These people are normal everyeday people that the Lord used because of their willingness, I hope you are encouraged, because i sure am.

Hey there Brent Dongell,

I hope life is good for you this summer. I'm in MD, at the church at which your brother-in-law was formerly employed. So that's cool. :) I've challenged the kids here to beat me at foosball, and we just got a new table, so let the fun begin. If they beat me, I give them $20. If I beat them, they do 20 pushups. I think we're gonna have some buff kids by the end of the summer. Well, take it easy. I'll see you in a month and a half.
