This is my first year sticking with the fast and God has truly blessed me! I’ve had two wonderful experiences as a result of this year’s fast.

The first one was a direct answer to one of the 3 prayer requests I wrote down the Wednesday before the fast: Bring my husband and I closer and make our marriage stronger.

We’ve struggled with “arguing” about everything for a long time. Well, about 4 or 5 days after the fast started my husband spoke to me that evening that he didn’t want us to argue anymore, especially with the kids around. I agreed and we’ve actually been able to walk away at the point of it getting heated only to come back later and be able to calmly resolve the issue.

It’s been amazing!

The second happened during the last Friday night prayer service. In 2003 I was involved in a 4 car accident. I was hit from behind two times. As a result, I wound up with 4 pinched nerves at the base of my neck. After 10 weeks of physical therapy I was still dealing with pain and discomfort in my neck and shoulders.

Also, after the birth of our 3rd child, who is now 8, I developed chondromalacia in my knees. Simply put, the cartilage was softening in both of my knees. It was very painful at times and I couldn’t do simple things such as jumping, squatting, or even walking up stairs without a lot of discomfort.

I was 24 at the time.

Well, I went down for the healing prayer believing that God would restore both of these things and He did!!!!

As soon as I was anointed I felt a shot go through me followed by heat in both areas. That night was the first night in 4 years that I’ve been able to sleep peacefully!

Also, I had a physical on Tuesday for a new job I’m pursuing. The doctor made me squat down. I went all the way down with no problem and stood back up quickly and smoothly! I’ve been unable to do that for 8 years!

Praise God!

He is too good to me!
