The people that God has been trying to reach... that's me... I simply got lost in the busy-ness of college & felt totally far from the Lord. I finally feel that... well I finally understand that the Lord is with me... He is fully in my life and I will never let Him stray from my focus. He deserves it all.

It's cold, so short and sweet! I'm Daniel. The woman @ the well story reminds me of my story. I've been saved 3 years; 1 year being saved I read the Bible – Convictions like “If you love me, why do you curse, drink, party?”
Women @ the well:
“The messiah, Jesus Christ, told me my whole life & everything about me!”
Jesus showed me my life and my sin through conviction, through the Holy Spirit. Now, I am Free

God rescued me. For about 3 years I had depression and anxiety. Fear of God kept me from ever killing myself, even though I felt so bad that i couldn't really except Jesus' dying for my sins, because I thought I would never be worthy. It's true, I'm not worthy but that's what makes the gift so great. I couldn't hear truth through the screams of demons. Group therapy made things worse. Seeing a shrink didn't help. I took antidepressants, but they couldn't fix everything. God healed the wounds that no one else could. He took away the lies and saved my life. PRAISE GOD

I used to wake up thinking “how am I going to pass the time today, until I can go to sleep again?” Then someone told me there was evidence that the Bible was true and Jesus rose from the dead. Long story short, I was struck by the amazing nearness and reality of God and this love as I lay on a field weeping 7 years ago. Everyday convinces more and more that He is here and that He is a freaking Volcano of Goodness. I love you Jesus. Thank you for my life

When my boyfriend of 4 years (he had proposed to me) broke up with me. I was so heart broken and mad at God. I accused God of not knowing what love is. He's supposed to be the God of love.
As time went on I started to heal. I could see that my boyfriend had been controlling my life: all our friends were his friends, we did what he wanted to do, thought what he thought, liked what he liked. I had stuffed pieces of me away until I didn't know my self anymore. I had essentially become his puppet. No wonder God allowed us to break up and all the pain I went through! God gives us free choice so when we love Him, it's because we want to. He doesn't want puppets and He didn't want me to be Dave's puppet.
God is so good and all-knowing. Now I am with the most loving guy.

A year ago I was at a place of nothing. My family was falling apart because of me, my boyfriend and I were broken up in the midst of this struggle and for two weeks I was confused, shaken, and afraid that there was no light at the end of the tunnel and that my heart was not really truly good. Two weeks into the darkness, physically sick and spiritually starving I walked by the 24/7 prayer tent and I signed up to pray – why I never did this before I wondered. God met me there in such a comforting way and His heart reached into mine right where I was. He loves me where I am!! Me! I was sure that I had disappoointed my Lord and wounded Him again – But He told me - “My love, I took the pain on the cross once for you and when I did, my Righteousness is free for you.” I am in you. When my Father looks upon you, my handmaiden, He sees the righteousness of Me! Why you ask? I love You! No Conditions and no Limits! “No love on this earth had I ever found. At that moment the love of God began to heal me and so has healed me to this day that confidence in this love has radically changed me. Where once I was filled and overcome by pride, fear, self-rejection and confusion (self-made giants) – God glorified himself by rising up confidence, humility love and grace. Now today, my precious Daddy has blessed me with a New relationship with my Mom, my sister and a family of brothers, sisters mothers and Fathers that were born out of a surrendered heart! I am a New Creation! The old has gone the new has come and daily my Father, my Bridegroom loves me and woos me closer to Him in a deeper intimacy with my Prince. I have never known such healing and by His grace I never want to be away from His presence! He didn't let me settles for less and now i have more than I could ever dream for! Now I too am with the Most loving and amazing guy!

The time is 4:45 am. As I listen to His music being played on CD and as I reflect upon all of His goodness including my beautiful wife who is here with me this hour(s), I realize how truly unworthy I am to deserve all that He has given me. He has been with me every step of my Life's journey so far, and i know in my heart He will be there with me all the way to the end... Everyday, I thank Him for all that He has given me. H ehas given me sooo much including three sons that have been such a joy to my heart. Jon, which means gift from God, has the heart of God. He is like David of old; always seeking after God's heart. Darrin who has the courage of Sampson and wisdom of the prophets of old. Jordan who has a heart of compassion. He seems to be able to make friends whereever he is. My wife Joanie... who is my light, my rock, my comfort and my catalyst for why I do what I do. Question: Why me Lord? How come I have all these good things in my life? God's answer: “It's because I have, and always will love you!” Reply: Lord I am astonished and amazed and stand in awe of you! God responds: “Larry, quit standing there in amazement, come let us break bread together and continue our journey together. I still have more to show you!” I respond: Lord you are totally awesome! I love you!
And so the journey continues...

It's important for me to remember not to make the holy places of fuel a den of thieves. For most, that is the churches & houses of prayer, but for those called to be without blemish, that is ourselves. Jesus will come and scourge away the evil that posses us and prevents us from prayer and worship to the Father. Only by the Father are we accepted, blessed, & living. Only through Jesus are we prepared for His judgment.

My life has been a testimony to the power of prayer. God is faithful all the time! When Barb and I got married, our prayer was that God would give us such a great marriage that others would see it and would see God in it and then hope and believe that they could have the same or better! When my wife became pregnant with each of our three kids, we prayed over her tummy. We sang and told stories of Jesus while they were still in the womb. We dedicated them to love and serve Jesus. We prayed that the Holy Spirit would fill them even in Barb's womb like He filled John the Baptist in Elizabeth's womb! When the kids were little, I would cry out to Jesus to save them all and give me at least that grace. That they would love God most of all. Everyday that I prayed over my wife and over my children, I prayed that God's will over them would be done, for that particular day and for everyday of their lives. While they were still little, we prayed for the schools they would attend, the friends would have, for the choices they would make, the people they would marry. The choices they would make, the people they would marry. The children they will have one day and we committed it all to God's good will and pleasure. When they were each about 15 years old, we took them through the steps of freedom so generational curses would be broken over them. We spent years banking prayer for our family and their future, not knowing for sure if prayer really worked or if we were even allowed to pray this way for them. We saved for years in faith. With tears in my eyes, tears of gratitutde I can testify that God is faithful and He is good! He answers prayers. My kids all love and serve God. They are so free of the sins of their forefathers. God has brought so many answers. He's protected my family, my kids have never rebelled us as parents or turned from God. They are so gifted and anointed. They all love us so much. God has done it! He's doing it! He has so blessed Barb and me and given us the most important gift we could have even desired. The wholeness of our family. We are a family that is whole in Him! We are so blessed in a world full of so many broken homes and families. The Lord's given us a glimpse of the future, my son is dating the most amazing godly loving young woman. I see the legacy of prayer and worship passing on to my kids and they're doing greater works than we've ever done. The Lord has protected and guarded us through every trial and difficulty, every crisis and we've seen His faithfulness in every area. He is good! Hold on in faith & believe & trust Him! Our lives have not been trouble free, we have suffered our share of hurts and pains. But God is good and He will always show Himself faithful!
P.S. My wife is the most amazing woman of God ever! She is the most precious gift to me after Jesus! Her love has been such an agent of healing and grace to me. I thank God everyday for her!
