Hello, Saints!
It's good to be in a place where there's a lot of love exuding. God wouldn't put us somewhere that would taint the anointing. Agree?

My husband, Bob has 2 children, Margo and Rusty and I have 1 son, Greg. We have 2 1/2 grandchildren, 4 other children with 2 grandchildren from osmosis (that we raised) and we are empty nesters now.

My birthday was Tuesday, August 23, 1994 at 1:30 am. I was baptised Thursday, August 25, 1994 at 7:30 pm. I received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost shortly thereafter, and was commissioned on Saturday, September 24, 1994 at 9:00 am through Isaiah 6 (it really happened....). Received the outward evidence of tongues in November 1995 at a revival in Columbus.

My greatest joy from the Lord was: He waited for me. Even as I write this, tears of unfathomable gratitude to Him fill me and my Spirit.

My mother and grandmother were raised in the Methodist Church. As a youngster, I attended Sunday school with my sister occasionally at the Methodist church and Church of Christ in Christian Union. My family offended when me and my sister had German measles and the Sunday school teacher told us, when we returned, "If you can't be here every Sunday, then don't come at all!" We never went back.

In 1982 as a divorced parent raising my son, one Sunday we hopped on the Baptist Sunday schoolbus and I was saved and was to be baptised that evening. I wanted to make sure my son knew God, too. The lay ministers there asked if my parents were saved and I said that I didn't know. They said that if they didn't get saved, they will burn in hell! I said that God wouldn't let my parents burn in hell. I never went back.

Throughout my life of sin, God was there. I only though, first knew this when He kept me from dying several times - drugs, alcohol, promiscuity. I was a heathen. And then one day, I asked Him if He was really there and He gave me a sign. I continued to live in sin, and then one day in June of 1994, I said 3 words - "Lord, I'm lonely."

I wasn't looking for a man in my life. I vowed to myself that I wasn't going to get married again or date because I couldn't pick them. A month later, on Tuesday, July 5, 1994, I talked to Bob in the library. We had gone to high school together and had seen each other on occasion at band reunions. It was his birthday.

I wanted what Bob had. Problems rolled off his back like oil on ducks' feathers. He laughed a lot and made me laugh, too. He was kind, respectful and a gentleman. I said, "What is that you have?" He said, "I'm a Christian." I said, "What's a Christian?" He said, "Jesus is my Savior." He explained to me about salvation and at 1:30 am on August 23rd, that's when I called him on the phone, bawling, needing Jesus. He lead me to the Lord. A month later, I was supernaturally delivered from niccotine. I had stopped drinking before Bob and I met. I stopped cussing.

We were married Thursday, November 10, 1994 at 7:30 pm at His Indwelling Spirit Ministries.

God doesn't look back at my past and neither do I, but He will use me and my past to minister to others. I love to tell how God orchestrated Bob and I meeting, courting, and marrying. There are many looking for love in all the wrong places. He just proved to me, that when I say "Never", well, that He's got a different agenda....

I will not forsake Him. No devil can separate me from my Father's love nor my love for Him. There's been times in my younger Christian days when I wasn't protected and the enemy crept in, but with the instruction I've received, I knew immediately how to get back on the straight and narrow path. HELP! PRAY! PLEAD THE BLOOD! REPENT! BE FORGIVEN! FORGIVE YOURSELF! FORGIVE OTHERS! GO ON!

Gee, I kinda' got long-winded there! My apologies. So much more happened and has happened. Let me hear from you some of your testimonies.

You can read some of the ministries' testimonies at Testify

btw...my dad got saved, my mother received assurance as she was saved, my younger sister and her whole family got saved. Pray for Marilyn, my older sister as she is into the occult (Prayer for Marilyn).

Hello, everyone.
Thought it was time for me to put down my testimony for y'all to read. I've got a lot of them, but the one that allows me to even be here goes like this:

I am a PK. We grew up in a God-centered home. We went through all the phases like being delivered of having a Haunted House on our homestead for Halloween  breaking curses against the family, etc.

I was slowly walking away from the Lord. You know (which some may and some may not!) when you decide one Sunday you're not going to service, then another, and another, and another, til you don't go at all and you're not even under conviction. This all took place in 1984.

I worked for my dad's company as a young adult and on January 3rd, 1985, three days after I rededicated my life back to the Lord, I fell. I fell 37 feet!

I was a commercial sprinkler fitter. Been in the trade for a long time. I was on a job at, get this, the Ohio Worker's Compensation building and it was pretty much completed, but a sprinkler head in the lobby needed moved. It was on a wall next to the top of the stairway. But it was about 3 feet from the stairway. I rigged up the ladder with one of our employees and got up to the top of the ladder and was working on this sprinkler head.

I reached behind to my back pocket where my channel locks were, but I began to slide. I knew I was going to fall. Below me was unfinished stairs - concrete stairs that had steel bars protruding upwards like spikes. Off to the side was laying board. I made a split decision to push off the wall to miss the stairs and hit the board instead. I missed and landed partially on the board and the stairs, breaking my right leg in 7 places and blowing a pressure point out in my left leg.

As I was laying on my stomach screaming, I heard someone praying. I looked up and there was an old high schoolmate of mine. He was Randy Skaggs. Randy was a druggie, a hood. I didn't associate with him, but I knew of him. He was a classmate. I said, "Randy, is that you?" He said, "Yes, Bob. What do you need?" I said, "I need Jesus to take the pain away." So I asked, and he prayed and the Lord took the pain away. The building contractor ran up to me and asked me what I needed but then started naming things off. He said, "Do you need a cigarette?" I said, "No, I don't smoke." He said, "Do you need a drink of whiskey?" I said, "No, I don't drink." He said, "Do you need a Bible?" I said, "No, but that would be great, but I do need you to call first my father and tell him what's happened. Call the Christian TV station, WSFJ, and put me on the prayerline. Call an ambulance (which had been done) and tell my crew to get to work 'cause we're 3 weeks behind schedule!"

Intercessors were at the TV station 24-7, and when the call came in, my brother-in-law's mother happened to be at the station working on their program. One of the ladies who was praying said that she saw a man fall and described him. Sister Lois said to her that it was her daughter-in-law's brother, Bob Elliott!

Dad was at the job site a couple days later to check on things and a guy came up to him and said, "Are you that boy's father that fell?" He said that he was. The man continued to explain to him that he knew he was going to fall, but the weirdest thing happened. He said that his boy was falling head first and in a split second in the middle of descent, it was as if someone grabbed him by the back of the neck and turned him right-side up! That is was a miracle he saw because he would have died in that fall.

I, to this day, cannot thank my Savior, my Shephard, for leading me back to Him when I strayed and for the angels watching over me. People, you never know. Be ready in Christ, for with Him, you have eternal life in Heaven.

JOHN 3:16 says, "For God (Our Heavenly Father)so loved the world (that's you and me) that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ); that whosoever (that can be you if you don't know Him!) believeth in Him shall not perish (die and go to hell) but have everlasting (eternal; forever) life (in Heaven)."

Jesus said: "I Am the door, by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved...come into Me...and I will give you rest." John 10:9
Isaiah 40:31 - "But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. "
