Share Your Story
Every walk with the Lord tells a story, one of faith, growth, struggle, transformation, restoration, or the discovery of His presence in ways we never expected. This is a place for you to share yours. Whether you are just beginning your journey with Christ or have walked with Him for many years, your testimony has the power to encourage others and remind them that they are not alone. We invite you to share what the Lord has done in your life, what He has taught you along the way, and how your relationship with Him has changed you.
God Stories
Joanne's story
My journey with God has been evolving since I was eight years old (when as a Baptist I made a profession of faith and was baptized).
I don’t think I fully experienced what salvation was, though, until I was sixteen and truly accepted Jesus into my heart (privately as opposed to publicly). I remember feeling God’s presence in my daily life after that for about three years. Then life happened as only it can while I was in college and my early twenties
.Due to some bad decisions, mental health challenges, and sheer trauma, I spent the next several decades away from God. I had also experienced church-hurt which leaves a lasting impact. I believed that my life as a teacher and school counselor was my way of serving God— even though I felt separated from Him
.Over the past decade, in retirement, I’ve experienced true healing from some buried traumas as well as being inspired by my daughter’s personal walk with the Lord. Her story has been nothing short of miraculous, and I know that only God could have healed her and brought her life full circle. We share how God shows up and shows out in our daily lives, and I’m so grateful for our relationship
.Now I enjoy my early morning daily devotionals… meditation and prayer time. It helps me prioritize what God is laying on my heart to do, and thus, I set my daily intentions accordingly
.My journey with God has been a story of forgiveness—learning to accept His grace and mercy. I feel I’ve finally made peace with myself through Him, and for me, that’s enough.

Brian's story
I have seen too much with my own eyes to doubt the Truth:
God Loves us, Jesus is the only Truth, and the Mighty Power of the Holy Spirit who lives only in believers of this Truth
I had a man ask me if angels are real.
I told him of a time I experienced the presence of an angel.
Then shared with him that years ago, my wife and I were driving on a major turnpike in Chicago. It was late around 2 AM.
I noticed a single headlight coming up behind me, going extremely fast. I was going 75 mph.
Then a motorcycle passed me on the right side of the car, as if I was standing still.
This US highway had a cement barrier down the center of the 6 lane highway, up ahead the road curved to the right.
Thats when it happened, the motorcycle flew past me and then my wife’s car and there was a huge crash. The motorcycle never turned but drove straight into the cement barrier!!!
My wife stopped near the body. I continued to a toll booth to tell them what occurred. I then made a U turn going up the opposite side of the highway. When I saw the top of my wife’s car I stopped on the highway. As I was climbing over the cement barrier, my first thought was that I never saw so much blood. There was a pool of blood around him. His head was swollen the size of a basketball. His left arm and left leg were under his head. It was very disturbing site.
My wife was down by the body, with her hands on the body, praying in the Holy Spirit. I then got on to my knees, placed my hands on his body and prayed in the Holy Spirit.
A State Trooper showed up first, then an ambulance. A person jumped out of the ambulance, quickly came over to the body and started to check his vitals.
Then I heard the physician tell the State Trooper, “Wow! he must have been going 100 mph to do this much damage to his body. Don’t worry he felt nothing, he died instantly. We will just take him to the hospital morgue.”
We then left. All the way home we both said we could not stop praying in the Holy Spirit. I felt an urge to call the hospital. A nurse answered the phone and when I explained who we were and what had just occurred. She burst out excitedly “they found a heartbeat.” That in itself was a miracle.
However, over the next couple of weeks, I spoke directly to a doctor attending the man, whose name was John. After several weeks and numerous conversation with the doctor, he told me “Brian, we do not understand what’s going on. We have put two IV’s in him one for fluid and one for nourishment.”
Three months later John was sitting in our living room, with his two children, young girls, and his praying momma from Arizona.
Understand I have previously described much of what I saw when I climbed over the cement barrier.
Now, John had been totally and completely healed by the Power of the Holy Spirit, a total supernatural miracle. John was raised from being declared dead. John had NO broken bones and NO surgeries. This was all done by the Power and Anointing of the Holy Spirit.
I love God, I love Jesus, and I love the Holy Spirit.
Believers should never doubt the Mighty Power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit that came upon Jesus and then Jesus began His ministry, healing the sick, and raising the dead.
The same Holy Spirit indwells believers in Jesus.
Know and believe the Truth in the Word. Jesus is the Word and the Truth.)
God truly Loves us!!!
