What has GOD done for YOU???

[SisMilam]

I've went back and read all the threads under this section since it's beginning. Now, I'm fresh out. I love reading about what God has done for someone else. It's so up-lifting. So c'mon I know God has done something for yall. Turn your thinkers on and get to posting. It doesn't have to be recently. Just think back , surely theres something. This should be the largest section on the GNC, I love it!!! So start a new thread on here and share what God has done for you!

ok and in case someone is just scanning "new posts" ... the "section" i was referring to is "Testimonies and Praise Reports!"

[tufluv]

I'm not sure if you meant for each person with testimonies to start a new thread altogether, but I think this one is just fine! lol
I've never been one to like and/or draw so much attention to myself as in starting new threads all the time, especially just to say one thing.

I agree this should be the largest section on the GNC.
Ever since coming on board over 1 1/2 yrs ago, I was saying that not enough people praise the LORD on here.

I think worship is ever so important.

"The LORD inhabits the praises of HIS people".

I praise JESUS for having given me a new life., for having lifted me out of the mirey clay pit I had stumbled into..with no way of escape. I was doomed.

HE mercifully and gently, lifted me up outta that pit, and sat me upon a ROCK! And there I've been ever since, Hallelujah!

What more can I say? And HE is still the same yesterday, today, and forever!
HE gave me HIS eyesight..I was lost without it, stumbling blindly through space and time. What a marvelous gift!
HE's done so much for me that only HE could've done, when I finally let HIM. :bow:

[SisMilam]

amen. AMEN.

[cyberkitten903]

amen. AMEN.
I'm here for the first time and I'm not sure how this works,so I'll just say what comes to mind.
Thirty years ago the Lord called me unto Himself,I was severely broken in spirit and had virtually no hope left. Sin had used me up and left stripped sorely undone. But God, became the light in the darkness,and brought me His life giving blood,washed me in the Name of Jesus and filled me with the Holy Ghost;He has kept me through countless trials,testings and has given me victory over diverse temptations.

God,has also delivered me from all of those who had abused me in my childhood,and He has delivered me from all of the shame and false guilt that my heart and mind were burdened with. Truly,our God is great and greatly to be praised and I'm thankful to call Him my God.
I didn't have the blessing of being raised to a godly home,our family was torn apart by Athistism,Witchcraft and immorality. But,Jesus came to me and called me out of that and gave me a brand new family,Praise the Lord. I am proud to be called a Jesus Name Apostolic. And I'm looking to go home and spend eternity with my God Jesus Christ.

Welcome to this CAFE.. ;)

Wow, sometimes when I think I've had a bad life...I hear others saying they went through really bad times, and so I think to myself that maybe I'm just griping too much.

We ALL have to have gone through something bad, in order to have had our Savior jump in to help us out..sooner or later.

I was also not raised in a godly home, although I came from a catholic background which DID/does have a witchcraft, or occultic..background as well. As a child, I did not make that connotation, I just thought it was normal that there were those who sought to hurt us by witchcraft powers, my mom was a bit paranoid in that area., we attended 'mass' now and then.

BUt praise GOD, I know so much more now. They finally quit believing in that when becoming trinitarianly 'born again' ( :grumble: )...I mean it (witchcraft) does happen, but if one is covered in the blood of Jesus, whom shall we fear?? When not safely under HIS covering, of course..people get scared/worried as my mom was, she had us all convinced certain folks were after us., (they were) with satan as the impetus.. :shrug:

He's always around trying to 'put us out' or 'get and keep us down' .. and take us with him - but too-ooo bad! Let 'im get mad, I don't care. :D
Jesus always had a plan to rescue me! Hallelujah!

False guilt is another issue that most of us have also had to live through., along with REAL guilt. This life is hard, or was moreso, until JESUS had mercy upon me..and you..and so many others. HE is my light, AND greater than he who is 'in the world'; I'm glad I am no longer 'of the world', I have overcomed some things, and there's much more left .. but Jesus has committed HIMself to 'finish that which HE hath started" in me..I am a work "under construction"..........
Sometimes those "nails" hurt, though! lol
But they are necessary.

HE DELIVERS, HE HEALS! Praise HIM for HIS mercies, that are new every morning! :bow:

[tufluv]

*bump*

Wow, I can't believe GOD has not done anything for anyone else!! :eek:
Thats NOT the GOD I know and love, :D

Shyness is not an option for a HGfilled saint, with much to share..

Come on now, can we get a "witness" here???? :shrug:

The Lord blessed me last week with a trip to Kentucky.He gave me another car totally paid for by someone else.He blessed me with brand new clothes and new luggage.He sent new friends my way.He gave me the next month of peace and quiet since my girls have gone to Florida for vacation with Grandma and Grandpa.He sent an guardian angel to watch over Ashleigh and me on the bus trip to Florida.No kidding.We were at the bus station and my cousins husband was there ready to ride.He goes pick up tractor trailers for a company.So we were safe on our journey.I was blessed to have a long talk with my son about church and he share some deep hearted things with me.Please pray for him when you read this his name is Derek and he is a good son.He is in the Navy and training for two months before they want to send him to Iraq for the second time.Oh yeah and I am going to have a new granddaughter....Emily Nicole......Praise the Lord.lv sis.c

[uniworse]

There are many things God has done in my life.
He delivered me from Headaches (I had them constantly)
He delivered me frmo my fears and paranoia
He filled me with his spirit and made me a new creature
He gave me a new life, new song, new voice and new heart
He walks with me, he talks to me and rejoices with me
He consoles me when I am weary, he gives me peace.

I can go on and on and on and on..

There is nobody like Jesus

Here we go again....

I just got in from wading through deep water, I unknowingly ventured into a street with REALLY REALLY deep water, in my FORD Ranger truck and before I knew it I felt like we were just floating, I wound up in someone's yard, and my truck is still stuck there as I write this., my husband (in his higher up van) finally came and brought us home..but gotta go back for the truck when the water subsides ..my 19 yr old son was with me..and we were singing and praising the LORD with music on a preaching tape we were listening to..in the truck as I was venturing into deeper and deeper water, driving through the maze of streets it takes to get to my home..just singing my heart out "..in the times of trouble, HE shall hide me.."!!!


And there we suddenly sat in someones yard, truck was stuck in the mud, would not move forward nor backward. Suddenly an "angel" came from no where, and led us to her home to dry out and wait..use the phone, etc., (although my son and I both had cell phones).. what a nice pretty SINGLE young girl (age 20) she left us there in her parents home alone, went out to help others out there like us!!! Me and my long skirt, tennis - all got soaking wet, while I continued praying, singing in my soul..for the LORD to come help us even further, for I could not find my husband..to come get us! Not even tow trucks dared come help us get my truck outta there.

Hallelujah, there are STILL some wonderful youth out there at least!
And pls pray for us that the people whose yard I have "ruined" will not get very angry., :eek: we're heading back shortly with a chain.

Oh, and pls pray that my truck is not totalled out (the transmission)..

There are BAD electrical/thunder-storms out here presently, on and off all week...and even a few weeks ago, same thing. I did not get to make it to work today, and earlier this week either. My son and I were just heading back from having lunch, and running errands.

Now I'm waiting to see what the LORD has planned out of this..I just know HE has some reason for allowing this, HE does work in marvelous, albeit mysterious, ways! :banana:

Gotta get on back now.

Oh, great! Now the van won't start! :grumble:

[tufluv]

...we are now safely home, truck is still running. PRAISE GOD!

[ddc101]

Hey I slipped out...made jambalaya and am home now but since the Lord had it under control sister I suppose I can be forgiven this time.Amen to the quick answer.lv sis.c

True...quite true..
The LORD is always right there..nothing escapes HIM..and HE is faithful!

I'm sending that young girl a card, and inviting her to church, we need more like her around!

Hallelujah, sister! Another grandbaby! :banana:
Wow...another girl!

Sounds like a great trip was had on the bus., isn't GOD so wonderful!
It is so heartwarming to get a chance to really talk with an adult son, when possible...and ALONE (if I'm correct)! :yeah:

My oldest son whom I have not seen since over 6 months ago, will in a few days be 30!! When and IF he ever comes down, his wife barely lets me have time with him, so I'd love to one day have him to myself. *sigh*

I have no grandkids as of yet., and that is okay with me, for the LORD is in control, HE knows what plans HE has for us all.

:angel: GOD is so goo-oood!! :angel:

[havefaithinGod]

I was raised in church . I got the Holy Ghost when I was 8. My mother quit going to church but I kept on. She always made a way for me to go. She never failed to encourage me.

I got married when I was 19. My husband lived in a different town. He went to a fairly large church. I had visited that church all my life but attending it was different. My husband was out of town on the weekdays for the first 3 weeks of our marriage attending correctional academy (training to go to work at the prison). I was bashful and didnt want to go to church alone. When he came back he was put on night shift so he never felt like going to church.

We didnt start going back to church until about 3 months ago. So for 5 years we have talked about going back to church. We tried to ease into it. We said, "we'll go back but we will keep our tv for a while." That didnt work for us. So we decided right before our son was born, (i mean the day before) that we were going back to church. Not easing into it either. We were going in full force. We did.

The whole time we were in the hospital, that tv didnt even get turned on once. We came home and the very next day, we sent our television home with my mother-in-law.

I know that it seems silly that the tv was what was holding us back, but it was. That was the only time we ever spent together. It took time away from our family time. We didnt talk to each other, my husband and I, because we were too busy watching television. The time we spent with our daughter even suffered.

God has made a change in us. WE still have our ups and downs. every couple does. But God will see us through all that we must face. He is a good God.

[brojason]

Praise the Lord,
I'd like to thank God for being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remmission of sins and for the Holy Ghost. A few years ago when we had our first child my wife and I seperated, she stayed in South Carolina and I went back home to West Virginia but we were both in the same state, LOST!! There were many times in that time period that God could have snuffed me out, I was drinking just about everyday, smoking crack cocaine and anything else I could get my hands on but God was doing something else in my wife's life.
My wife was raised in the truth and she was talking to her cousin one day about how bad things were going so her cousin told her that she needed to go where the love was, Church!
To make a long story short, while my wife was praying for me and her to get saved I was 600 miles away living in adultery and all the ungodliness you can imagine. Well, time went on, I was in trouble with law in WV, OH, and Pa so I went back to South Carolina and ended up back with my wife. If you ever want an akward feeling, just think about the life style that I was living and then I showed up in Church, Where my wife's uncle just so happened to be the Pastor:goof: .
Well, after the awkward feelings went away I started hearing something, TRUTH!! I was Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ in goldmine creek and about a year later, God filled me with the Holy Ghost. He has given me a total of 6 children, and yes, I gottem all honest!! A good job making almost as much a day as I used to make in a weeks time. He's a good God, I could go on and on about what He's done but long posts are hard to read so I'll leave you with a big PRAISE THE LORD!!

Oh, great! Now the van won't start! :grumble:

We-e-l-lllll, guess what?
Just found out WHAT it was that the LORD had planned out of this, I'm so tickled...I get goose bumps thinking on it -

..the yard that my truck landed on and got stuck in - well in that house lives a young girl now 14..who was an attendee at my first church where I got baptized..almost 6 yrs ago!! She and her mom (who was baptized there as well, but is now completely backslid) we'd been in touch and close with for while they were there..her mom would not go regularly, but my best sisfriend would always pick up Demaris and even have her stay overnight, just to get to go to church, and she had the HolyGhost! She was so-o into the LORD! She loved HIM so.

Since her mom left the LORD completely, and moved her here and there, Demaris also stopped going., now she is living with her dad (whom is not into church) in THIS house! I doubt he takes her anywhere.

And so I found all this out when she and her dad came by our house yesterday (I had left my address with 'em) to ask about something..and lo and behold, my son recognized her immediately - talk about a happy reunion! :banana: They hugged and talked and talked!

The dad Ruben was in awe! Jaw almost to the floor! Small world, eh? (he said)..and so now I can invite her, go pick her up (lives nearby) take her to church, praise GOD! She's been w/o the LORD for years now...she's a teen a most important time to stay in touch with GOD!

Hallelujah, have I said lately that our GOD is an on-time GOD, who works out situations for HIS purposes! :yeah: I am so "high" about all this now, I can't hardly stand it!! :spin:

I tear :cry: up over this because it was not Demaris fault she had to leave the LORD, her mom was a very bad example, went back to her ole ways, she is currently very very down, strung out on drugs, has to 'dance' again to support that habit again and has gotten involved with elicit (3 ltr word) habits...just totally awful! Is homeless, she's recently been having to stay with my sisfriend and anywhere she can find. :cry: Quite sad.

Pls everyone pray for Elizabeth M., Demaris' mom. She needs HIM badly! Pray that she will repent and return to HIM. :angel:

THANK YOU JESUS!! we found our sister Demaris, once again - Hallelujah!

[1ApostolicTiger]

Praise the Lord everybody! God's been so good to me that we can never count the ways of what He's done for us in our lives. Can I get an amen out there? :bow: God has blessed me, for a whole year I could not find a job even tho I went out every single day and applied for a job. I didn't find a job until this coming year in the month of December when I was looking in the newspaper for a job and found this job. I am still with this job as of today and God's been good to me!! :icon_danc Yes, I'm working part time, but I'm still working. Also, God has blessed me with a really good car, where I don't have to take it to the shop much. And just recently, I had to go get my tires rotated, and get it fixed, do you know, I did not have to pay one single dime for the rotating of the tires, but that God blessed me to only pay for my filter in the car which was less than what I WOULD have paid for! God is soooooooooooo good!! Thank you JESUS!! :icon_danc

[SixFourBob]

Praise him and Thank him, but "Just Because", for now and then, is real nice.

If not for Jesus "I truly would not be here with you all today. Now that's something to really praise and thank him for". Will share this with all in time. Thank you Jesus

PS quick add on, he also provided me a living, I could go on forever here with his reach and love for me, Thank you Jesus

[angelindesguise]

He's done so much for me I can't tell it all, but he's wakes me up each morning, gives me breath of life, supplies my needs for the day and I know his promises are real~~~tho He hasn't answered all of them yet~~~~But, I'm still waiting.

[Just wondering]

All I can say is God is soooo good. He has had his hand on my and my family.

He touched my grandbaby yesterday. He had fever all night Sunday night and started throwing up Monday morning. When I found out about it I went to praying. His fever left and he quit throwing up. No, it wasn't my prayers that did it. It was God that did it.

Thank you, Jesus.
