Supernatural Manifestations #2: Peace That Surpasses Understanding
Photo by francescoridolfi.com from Rido (This is a stock photo.) 2011 In May of 2010 I was driving home from a ministry meeting and was stopped at a red light. A young driver was not paying attention because she was preoccupied, fighting with her sister in the passenger seat. She rammed into the back of my Ford Ranger. At first, I thought I was alright, but over the next few weeks and months, I developed more and more pain in my lower back and feet. During four months of physical therapy, I continued to grow worse. Plus, thorough exams of my feet by a Podiatrist, along with x-rays, could not…

Revelatory Gifts #3: Winning the Prize
Photo by alexlmx Sat 31 October 2009 My son’s youth group hosted Halloween parties at the houses of various church members. I was asked to operate a game booth at one of these houses. Several games were set up in the garage and driveway for the children, including a lollipop game with two grand prizes of training wheeled bicycles. I operated a game in the garage. A couple with a little girl about four years old entered the garage. The INSTANT I laid eyes on them, I KNEW the little girl would win one of the bicycles. She was the perfect size to fit the bicycle too. Since I had…

Revelatory Gifts #2: The Holy Spirit Tells Me What to Say to Save a Life
Photo by Courtney from Getty Images Signature (This is a stock photo.) Around 2008 My teenage daughter had a roommate with an unplanned pregnancy. She was leaning towards having an abortion. My daughter convinced her to talk to me. I ministered the Word of life to this young woman, and the Holy Spirit convinced her to keep her baby. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. About five years later, I learned that this little girl had been diagnosed with leukemia. At the time, I had a ministry called i am loved – THE CONCERT. I hosted benefit concerts in the Kansas City metro, partnering with local independent Christian…

Healings and Deliverances #2: Four Siblings Healed During Family Prayer
Photo by Anna Subbotina (This is a stock photo.) Approximately 1997 Have you ever heard the expression, when it rains it pours? I was going through such a season. My youngest two children were ages 1 and 3. They both had dozens of tiny warts over their body, including their face. Warts can be hard to get rid of, and they can continue to multiply until you do get rid of them. I was very concerned. Plus I had a 14 year old son who had recently been diagnosed with pneumonia. The doctor warned me that he would be more susceptible to pneumonia for several years. And if they were…

Healings and Deliverances #1: A Supernatural Delivery
Photo by Trendsetter Images (This is a stock photo.) Good Friday 5 April 1996 This testimony is about my only home birth. I was greatly blessed to have an amazing midwife. I had been in labor for an entire day with my 8th and last child. It was a little strange that my water broke at exactly midnight. By 6 AM the contractions were very hard and coming two minutes apart, but I was only dilated to 3. I thank God that my midwife was a very intelligent, capable woman. My feet were swelling—something I had never experienced before—and I was concerned, but my midwife was not alarmed. I DESPERATELY…

Everyday Miracles #2: Perfect Timing
Photo by Billion Photos (This is a stock photo.) November 1995 My family moved from the East Coast to the Midwest in 1992. The Lord miraculously arranged for us to buy our first house on a contract-for-deed. It was a little post World War II ranch, practical but not very pretty. After three years we were ready to move up to a house that would better accommodate our large family. I found a historic 5 bedroom house that I wanted to buy and I had a young family lined up to buy my ranch with a lease purchase. All that I needed to do was to contact the couple who…

Everyday Miracles#1: Highway Rest Stop Assistance
Photo by welcomia (This is a stock photo.) August 1992 (written 5 February 2024) The Lord called my family to move from the East Coast to the Midwest. This was a particularly hard time because I had a stillborn daughter in June of 1992. My husband and I drove to Kansas to look for a job for him and for a place to live. We had our two-year-old and four-year-old daughters with us. Our older children—three sons—were being cared for by a close friend. My husband was very apprehensive about our old car making it to Kansas and back, but I knew that God had called us to move and…

Angel Encounters #3: Saved From Crashing Into A Wall
Photo by Engin_Akyurt from Pixabay Early in 1980 (written 2 February 2024) This is the third of three testimonies, from my childhood and teen years, when my life was miraculously saved by an angel: In the early 1980’s I was driving with a friend from Connecticut to California. We took turns driving my little red Chevy. It was late at night when I was driving the home stretch and I fell asleep driving. (I am thankful to report that I never fell asleep behind the wheel again!) In my mind I heard a male voice say, “Wake up.” I opened my eyes and instantly realized that I was driving headon…

Angel Encounters #2: Saved From Driving Off A Hill
Photo by Dean Drobot 1977 (written 2 February 2024) This is the second of three testimonies, from my childhood and teen years, when my life was miraculously saved by an angel: It was 1977, and I was 16 years old. My 17 year old friend was trying to teach me how to drive a car. We were being giddy and not as serious about the driving lesson as we should have been. The road was narrow and winding. I was driving too fast downhill and lost control. Similar to an experience I had as a young girl learning to ride a bike, at the last possible second before a certain…

Revelatory Gifts #1: You Will Never Die
Photo by pixelshot (This is a stock photo.) Sometimes around 1967-1968 (written on 4 January 2024) When I was about 7-years-old I received my first prophetic Word. I was standing in my bedroom, looking at myself in my bureau mirror when I received this word: I didn’t hear an audible voice and yet I “heard” a word-for-word message in my thoughts. My family was dysfunctional and not religious at all. However, I deeply loved God. In that season of my life, I had zero knowledge or understanding about spiritual gifts. The idea that a person could “never die” was foreign to me. Eventually I came to believe that the message…
