I have been on Praize for more than five years and have only asked for prayer a few times and have never failed to receive God's answer. A little more than 8 days ago I went to the emergency room with both legs swollen more than four inches from just below the knee to just a few inches above the toes. The area on my left leg was also covered in a rash. I went into the hospital that night fpr more than nine days. I stayed on intra venous antibiotics and a saline solution to keep my liquids up because I was also getting a diuritic in the same mix. I saw in the prayer requests that you were told about the heart problem. Well we went through that and found nothing. For the last test I had to lay on solid steel board that was ten degrees colder than the room and it was 65. Gave up my idea of going to Alaska They found nothing but a weak heart which they already knew from the CHF. When they decided to release me the rash on my left side had gone in three days, NOT MEDICALLY POSSIBLE!!! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IN PRAYER!!!! THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE ME WITH ANTIBIOTICS IN PILL FORM BUT SENSE THE RASH WAS GONE THERE WAS NOTHING TO GET ANTI ABOUT. THEY SENT ME HOME WITH SOME INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT MY HEART,AND IN 1996 IN APRIL, A DOCTOR TOLD us I HAD CHF --CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE WITH ABOUT TWO YEARS TO LIVE. Deb and i had been married about 14 months and the doctor was saying I had only about 24 months to go.That would have put me Heaven in the 1998 period. Ihave learned --GOD KEEPS HIS WORD AND IS CAREFUL ABOUT TIME. DOES GOD HEAL? BY HIS WORD HE DOES!!! I WAS HEALED BY HIS WORD AND BY THE PRAYERS OF MANY. AM I GOING TO DIE SOON,NAH AIN'T TIME . IF IT WAS GOD'S TIME THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT NOR WANT TO. I HAVE SEEN HEAVEN AND A VIEW OF WHERE WE WILL LIVE AND THE HOUSE ILIVE IN NOW IS A CLOSET UP THERE. iF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN HEAVEN THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DOES CHANGE THE FACTS OF HEAVEN.

Iwas kinda down when I phoned a friend to tell him and he reminded me of something that I have been living in the grace of God for more than twelve years and it is no different now.

I am dealing with some heavy financial debt brought on by helping some family but mostly by my bad decisions and not being a good steward over what God had given me. Anyway, I had this bill due on 9/10 and I had no idea were I would get the money from. I had no one I could turn to and I worried over it the night before. I have been so stressed over my bills and what to do that I have been seeking God for almost a year but don't seem like I have been getting an answer-I felt as if God was ignoring me. My feelings would go from depression, anger, fear back to hope, faith and courage and this cycle would go on for months. I felt as if life wasn't worth living if I had to endure this pressure and it just seemed like it was no way out. I felt as if Satan had me and that's just the way it was going to be. I couldn't go to my siblings because they are the type that might help you but they would make you feel so bad for your situation that you'd just rather handle it on your own. I have been reading my Bible and praying and watching some sermons of my favorite ministers on tv. I do have my own home church but haven't been in a few months though. I had starting feeling like God didn't want anything to do with me so what's the use in praying. Sometimes when you feel like you can't get a prayer through all sorts of things run through your mind. Well, I decided to keep praying and that Friday I fasted for 1/2 the day. I had liquids but no food and I read bible verses when I had a break at work. Towards the end of the day my manager comes up to me and my co-worker and hands us some money. When I asked her what it was for she said it was the money that our job gave us for a contest. We had a contest on the job about getting customers signed up for something but the higher ups said the money would be used for a party for our branch and not to be given to the employees. We were not to see any money but God worked it out were the amount she gave us was what I needed for my bill. It wasn't under but just what I needed-praise God! God truly is a way maker when it seems like there is no other way. You see I went in with the attitude that I would pray and fast but really didn't expect anything because I had convinced myself that God didn't like me and this was my punishement for creating this debt. I still have tons of debt but I thank God for providing a way for me to pay my bill. God truly is the Great I AM and He is Yahweh. 0 Sep 12, 2010, 2:36 PM http://www.praize.com/forums/Prayer_C24/Answered_Prayers_F26/God_wants_you_well_P83283/?page=unread#83283 if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the lord thy god,and wilt do that which is right in his sight,and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes,i will put none of these diseases upon thee, which i have brought upon egyptians:FOR I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE."

I was to leave the next day flying out on a trip to my friends' in Ohio.(and music partners) Now, some people will call you crazy if you go around talking about hearing GOD speak. lol. But His children do hear His voice. He speaks to us in many ways and also will confirm what He's telling you. So, a committed,(hehe)trained ear can hear Him indeed. God had let me know. I was scheduled for a 'divine' appointment at some point in my travel and was so very excited because I had NO idea of whom, what, where or when! So I had my antenna up and my radar on. lol. Been awhile since I've flown so things have changed a bit as I was (with those skills, I might add, in the "Why do you feel Qualified" thread) able to book and confirm my flight online. Checked in for my flight online, then printed out my boarding pass. I traveled light with just one small carry-on, so getting through security was easy. I love to travel anyway so let's just say I was in my element and it was all so special...okay. I was ready to meet whoever and early waiting in the beautiful concourse, watching other planes take off. Of course the airport was full and I was talking to folks all around me to see if anything would develop. Soon, I was engaged in some convo with a woman from Belieze. She had a thick, beautiful accent but not being used to it, I struggled to understand her. Suddenly I did. She began to say things about my life that were very personal and NO way she could've know otherwise. She was giving me solutions, directions and advice about things I'd earnestly, longingly, desperately prayed about, seeking God's answers ...deep gut-wrenching issues. I recogized the truth, as she spoke powerful words, expounding God's truths as pertaining to my situation. I knew it was God. Then it occurred to me that she was the divine appointment. I said, "So you are my divine appointment." We smiled for evidently, He'd told us both in advance. The conversation was so productive as God gave me a rhama word, specific God breathed, on time instructions, through her as we waited for our plane, oblivious to everything around us. Meanwhile, the WHOLE airport was completely shut down due to a sudden severe thunderstorm (that I later found out, was the only such weather in my whole state. Friends who were to intercept me at point B checked the NC radar for storms/delays when I was 2 hours late. They saw it with their own eyes! I can proooove it!) Like I said, we were in our own world. We both knew when His purposes were accomplished. We both felt it. We said our goodbyes as sisters, hugging and exchanging emails. She said, "You know God closed this whole airport for you, don't you?", with such a mischievious look or her face!!! hahah, take that... She stood and said, "Now let's get moving and tell that storm to leave. Come with me." I followed her. Switch gears. I'm now aware of just how backed up this airport is! An international airport and packed like sardines, with nothing flying. I noticed how padantic and even afraid people looked. I mean that storm was full tilt boogie!! Lots of lightning and thunder. Black swirling sky. It really looked tornadic. Kids were crying and the place was a buzz with standing room only, we manuevered over to the big windows. She boldly told the storm to be gone...to depart!!! Oh my God, just like Jesus did! She'd simply said with authority, "In the name of JESUS, Storm, you be gone!" and I said spoke it too. "In the name of JESUS, Sun, YOU can come out NOW!" I mean we were a spectacle and lots of people saw it when the weather obeyed our commands. GLORY TO GOD!!!! You should've seen it. wow. She told me, "Quickly! Now go get in your line." Immediately, the aiport wasted no time announcing departures and my flight was the first one called as I'd formed the line. This should speak loudly to God Almighty's awesome power and miracle working ablility!! God imparted something special to me that day. Without faith, it's impossible to please God. We have to just believe! That and be committed. He says, IF we have the FAITH of a teeny-tiny mustard seed, we can SPEAK to the MOUNTIAN, or STORMS in our own lives; we can COMMAND it TO BE MOVED! THAT is what we did. God said we could. I believed it. Otherwise, I'm just a warm body he can use. That's what He needs. People who believe, to show the world. That's why I'm here today. I want everything God has for me! Don't YOU??? He says in the last days, God's people will do exploits and miracles in Jesus name, bigger ones than Jesus did, for the Kingdom! For the GLORY of GOD!!!! PRAISE YOU FATHER!!!!!!! GLORY TO YOU!!!! You know why God likes me? Why I am His daughter? I believe Him in all things. Even when I don't understand. He's the God of The Impossible... Moving in the improbable... Even when it's not logical, There He is with another miracle! (Diane Barnes) While I was in Ohio, my friend had a life threatening medical problem. God had already prepared me that morning during my quiet time alone with Him, reading the word and praying. This day I would slay a giant. Sure enough, later in the day, as I drove my friend to the emergency room where a specialist had sent her. She had a blood clot in her leg, the Dr. had said. Go to the ER right away and expect to stay. I anointed myself and her with oil and prayed for her. (Years ago, my father died with this very same thing. So, I know...) The Drs. found nothing because God took care of it. It was not her time to go and I'm so thankful! Glory to God!

Nothing was turning up and I'd been seriously looking for a job! One of my friends called to tell me she had an inside scoop about an opening. I dismissed it in my mind as soon as she told me because it seemed frankly, out of the realm of possibility; like my worst nightmare, a computer related job. I somehow knew I was the last of the dinosaurs, a dying breed in a high tech world. So trust me when I say I was the LEAST likely one to go for this job! I was left behind and did not really care. A couple of weeks passed. Nothing else opened. Just as I was thinking about that darn job's sheer ridiculosity and dismissing it afresh the phone rang. It was Laura again, asking if I'd been to fill out an application yet. I thanked her then told her I simply was NOT remotely qualified. She said God laid it on her heart that I was to do this. Oh NO! NOT ME!!!!!!!! Fast forward. I was all dressed up and ready to go on the interview when I told my husband what I was doing. You should have seen the look on his face...when he laughed at me as if I were a fool. "Diane, (pause) If you get that job...it will be the biggest miracle I've EVER seen!" Indignation rose up at his words, not for myself because I knew he was so right, but rather for God whom I'd come to know and love especially. He could do anything! "I hope I get this job just to show you how BIG My GOD IS!", I softly said before leaving. Wow, I was really out on a limb now. LOL! This was something that I "did it afraid". I scraped up what little confidence I had while I drove there, praying and asking God, "What are You doing?" I didn't like it at all...but I was stepping out that invisible bridge of faith. The four owners were computer 'gurus', the go-to guys with 30+ years combined IT experience.Their office was very high tech. They built special computers and also installed them for private parties and buisnesses. They also trouble-shot and serviced them. It was major. Oh my God. I questioned my own sanity that day. They had me take one of those 'let me get into your mind' tests. So I did. They came back after awhile and had me take it again! Soon enough, I was sitting at the conference table with them all and they were asking me about the buisness I'd managed with my previous job oh, 10 years ago. Inevitably, the question arose, "Mrs. Barnes, why do you feel you are qualified for this job?" Freeze the moment. I smiled and humbly admitted I did not feel that I was qualified at all, however I am fairly sure God sent me. Freeze the moment. LOL, Really, I suppose thinking of further impact of this growing potential testimony, I smiled again and said, "I don't know how to turn a computer on AND I CAN'T TYPE EITHER!" LOL! Freeze this moment too while your at it. So, I got a call the next day. Bytewyze invited me to lunch. All the employees were there as they bought me one fine meal, that I delightfully ate with them as they welcomed me into their close-knit company as an employee! You should have seen my husbands face when I got THAT job! Hahah! My pc skills are growing. CSN would not be in my life and heart without this having happened. I would've never met any of you or known what to do with my music and then there's the digital art I've been doing and websites I create! I've learned so much and keep building on it. God is so very awesome...I love you Father. Glory to You!!!! This was an entry in my blog at CSN.

I had been asking god for a wonderful godly wife for so long, I had other women before throughout my life and I was even married before but was unequally yoked and had alot of problems day in and day out because this woman never cared about the things of god only her self. Eventually me and this woman got divorced and the lord has provided me with a special lady who is after his own heart. God has found my Soul Mate. I am so happy and excited and I am looking forward to marrying her next year August and sharing life's many blessings and overcoming life's many trials with her by my side. Before I did things my way in choosing a good woman and failed but after releasing this prayer into god's hands he came through for me beyond my expectation. Now I truly feel complete, god is truly the perfect matchmaker and I thank him with all my heart. Emelie and myself are so compatible and has balanced each other out. I love the lord so much for his favour and kindness that he has shown to me. Her name is Emelie who is a filipino and she is christian who has a humble spirit, content with life and who loves the lord with all her heart. Please pray for us that god will bless and prosper us abundantly in every area of our lives and that he will cover us with his amazing love always. P.S, When asking god for anything in your life be specific and tell him exactly what you want and how it will benefit him to his honour and glory, you will be amazed when god answers your prayer, he might take his time before he answers you but god's delays are not god's denials. Keep trusting in him and believe he can do anything. I am a witness of that and my life just keeps getting better and better because of him. To god be the glory great things he has done. God bless you all. 0 Nov 21, 2006, 3:30 PM
