Today was a day that was not really going the way that I would have wanted it to, however GOD who is rich in mercies turned a day that wasn't great and made it great. This is how GOD works everything out. Our pastor has called a night of corporate church prayer every Monday night. After my day I wasn't feeling like going. My brother-in-law called me and wanted me to meet him there. I have been praying for him and his wife they have a call on their lives to the youth ministry and have been kind of distant. So anyway he called and wanted me to meet him there so I figured this is a step so I'd better go. I show up and his wife is there also. A great answer to prayer in itself. We spent some time in prayer and then I felt prompted to go out and walk around the church property and pray. I kind of questioned GOD and finally said OK GOD. While walking the property line I came across a couple of homeless gentlemen that I have had the occassion to minister to in the past few weeks. I started talking with them they asked if we could talk and we talked for a few minutes and they asked what all the cars were at the church for I explained the prayer meeting. Then said you've told us were always welcome to come are we welcome tonight, We stink and have been drinking. I said I used to stink in the nostrils of God and he accepted me so who am I to say you're not welcome come in. We gathered around them and they were ministered and presented with the gospel again and tonight they received the Lord as their personal saviour. So tonight there are 2 more names entered into the lambs book of life Aaron & Eric. Eric started reading the Bible to Aaron while others were putting together a food basket for them. They were reading and asking me what should they read I started them out in John. I gave them the bible they were reading. God sent me for a reason, I was suffering from a case of the flesh today and if I would have not listened to the voice of GOD 2 souls could've been lost. GOD turned that kind of day into a day of celebration. Prasie GOD for his mercies are new every morning even though my attitude still needs some adjusting. 
jdub John 4:23&24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Eight Proofs that Healing is For Today
by Larry Ollison
There are two great truths regarding healing:
All good gifts come from God and that includes health and healing
All bad and evil gifts come from Satan.
Satan is the destroyer and Jesus is the Deliverer.
With this in mind, I received a letter from a man in Paragould, Arkansas, who made this comment; he said, "I agree that health comes from God and that infirmities come from the devil, but how can we be assured that healing from God is for us today, in the 21st century?"
This man has a valid point asked by many, so today I would like to quickly give you eight reasons or eight ways we can know that healing is for us today.
Number one:
Jesus redeemed us from the curse of sickness. Galatians 3:13 says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us...." And John 3:14 says, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
Number two:
Healing was prophesied. In Isaiah 53:4-6 we find the prophecy and in Matthew 8:16-17, the fulfillment of the prophecy, where the prophet Isaiah said Jesus would take our sicknesses and carry them for us. That means Jesus paid the price for us. He took our sicknesses so that we could be healed.
Number three:
Believers are the Body of Christ. As a part of the body, we are healed. Jesus is not sick today. He has paid the price and we are a part of His body. First Corinthians 12:13 and 27 tell us that as Christians, we are a part of His body.
Number four:
Jesus has not changed. Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." He healed in the past and He heals today.
Number five:
Believers are commanded to heal the sick. Jesus said in Mark 16:18 that those who believe would, "lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Would Jesus command us to do something that was not for us to do? Of course not. We must obey His command.
Number six:
"Gifts of healings" is a gift of the Holy Spirit. First Corinthians 12:9 tells us that this gift is for the "Spirit-filled" believer.
Number seven:
Sick believers are commanded to ask for healing. James 5:14 says, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him." If healing were not for us today, then sick believers would not be required to call for prayer to be healed.
Number eight:
Jesus promised that we would receive what we asked for. In John 14:13, Jesus said, "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name I will do it."
Is healing from God for today? Yes, of course it is. Are there phonies out there making money and fame off of healing? Yes, there always have been.
Not much has changed since the time of Jesus. But that doesn't mean that God's true healing power is not for you today. Know the truth. God's will for you is health.

"Who am I
That you would love me so gently
Who am i
That you would recognize my name
Who am i
That you would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the Lord most high
Who am i"-A song
I guess He loved us so much to draw us closer to Him and on the way act as magnets to bring down the walls among His people and attract more.
Glory to God for the 2 new believers. Praises to the Most High
keep on pressing on in the pursuit of God.
