Miracles, Miracles

Check out this awesome Testimony of a Miracle in EM and Amy Leonard's son Mickey. We have been specifically praying for healing in lives of people at church recently. Mickey was one of them, JCFC has been praying for. She sent me this email last night!

It is with UTMOST JOY that I send this message to you all today! I just received a call back from Mickey’s tummy doctor, and she told me that we can discontinue his antacid medication (he was receiving 1 tsp twice daily), AND his pulmonologist (lung doc) told us we can cut back to one breathing treatment a day, likely to be altogether discontinued in April!!!!!!

This is the most amazing gift! This is answer to prayers from many, yourselves and the prayer team of JCFC included! I think of all the nights Alana, E.M. and I said prayers and asked God to touch little Mickey’s legs to make them strong so that he could walk…and it lead to all of this! I seriously weep as I write this! I closed the door to my office, got on my knees, and cried. I am like any other mom who wants the best for her child, and because our church family stood with us in praying for change – LIFE change, God came right into our home and made that happen. Hallelujah!!!

Thanks for sharing this awesome news with us, Amy. We will continue to pray for you and your family!

Testing

Im reading a great book right now by Scott Wilson, pastor of The Oaks Fellowship, on the south side of Dallas. The book is called The Next Level, and it truly is amazing. Its a 31 day journey through the tests we see major Bible character walk through. Some pass the tests with flying colors, while others fail miserably only to face the same test again. Check this link for a daily video blog that tracks with the book.

Scott relates the tests God allows in our life to either a prison or a classroom. We can become bitter and angry about the test and run away (the prison thought) or we can embrace what God si teaching us while learning the lesson as we pass the test. I throughly believe that God is preparing each of us for what He has prepared for us.

So my reading for the day is some classic scripture about trusting God.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:6-9 (NLT)

Easter is going to be amazing, Just Ask...

I want to remind you that Easter is just around the corner. It is a great time to invite a friend to be in service with you. The majority of people will come to church with you if you Just Ask.

Im telling you this Easter could very well be the most amazing service ever at JCFC. We will be kicking off a new Series called "Just Ask" on Easter Morning. You wont want to miss it as we discuss how our Heavenly Father wants to bless, lead, comfort, and protect you. All you have to do is Just Ask. Don’t miss this series on talking with God about the things we need, and the things He wants to do for us!


Thanks Peoples Church and Fellowship Church for the thoughts and creative elements for this series and kick-off on Easter!
