PRAISE GOD BROTHER AND SISTERS IN CHRIST JESUS,

AS DISASTER HIT THE GULF COAST WHEN HURRICANE KATRINA TORE THRU AND FLOODED NEW ORLEANS. GOD GAVE ME A DAY VISION WHILE PREACHING IN THE PRISON IN SPRINGDALE ARK.GOD TOLD ME THREE DAYS BEFORE THE STORM HIT TO GO TO NEW ORLEANS AND FEED HIS WORD AND FOOD TO IS HURTING CHILDREN. AS GOD SHOWED ME DEAD BODIES , BOATS IN TH STREETS AND SUPERDOOM AS A ISLAND. WELL IM HARD HEADED AND DID NOT WANT TO GO. BUT GOD KEPT ME IN TEARS FOR FOUR DAYS AND THEN THE WATER CAME IN AND JUST AS GOD HAD SHOWN ME IN THE VISION IT HAD HAPPENED. WELL THERE I WAS WITH LITTLE MONEY AND A CALL TO GO SO THEN I SIAD YES LORD IM GOING.TWO DAYS OF GETTING THE WORD OUT TO MY BROTHERS IN THE BIKER MINISTRIES AND LOADING UP OUR TRUCK WITH FOOD AND BIBLES AND TRACKS WE WERE OFF.WORD COULD NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT WE SAW AS WE GOT THERE THE THIRD DAY AFTER THE WATER CAME IN. NO ONE WANTED TO GO TO NEW ORLEANS AT FIRST BECAUSE OF THE SHOOTINGS AND MASS LUTING. BUT AS WE SET UP OUR COOK TENTS AND CHURCH WE HAD LINES OF PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST OVER WHELMING. BUT GOD REALLY CAME AND BROUGHT IN ALL THAT WAS NEEDED TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN . HEALINGS WHERE A EVERYDAY THING AS GOD WAS REACHING DOWN FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MERCY. THERE ARE SO MANY I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN ONE THAT TOUCHED MY HEART WAS THIS 70 YEAR OLD LADY THAT KEPT COMING TO EAT CRYING EACH DAY HARDLE COULD WALK. AFTER A WEEK OR TWO GOD TOLD ME SHE NEEDED MUCH PRAYER AND HOPE. WELL I ASKED HER CAN I PRAY FOR YOU. SHE LOOKED UP WITH EARS IN HER EYES AND JUST LOST IT. AS SHE CAME BACK TO TALKING WITH ME SHE SAID GOD HATES ME WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PRAY FOR ME? AS I LOOKED AT HER SPEACHLESS THE POWER OF GOD CAME ALL OVER ME AND I TOLD HER THAT GOD LOVED HER. THEN SHE OPENED UP WITH THESE WORDS. MY PREIST WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME, HE WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH TO EVEN PRAY FOR ME, I WACTHED MY HUSBAND BE SWEPT AWAY TO DROWN IN THE FLOOD WATERS AND THE Y SHIP MY SON TO HUSTON AND A DRUNK HIT HIM ON HIS HARLEY AND HES NOT GOING TO MAKE IT.SO HERE I AM A OLD CRIPPLED WOMAN THAT GOD HATES AND CAN'T EVEN WALK FOR I WAS IN A CAR WRECK AND HAVE BEEN IN PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR 7 YEARS NOW. I CAN'T EVEN DANCE I USE TO LOVE TO DANCE SHE SAID. AS THE TEAR OF COMPASSION ROLLED DOWN MY BERADED FACE THE POWER OF GOD FELL AND I REACHED OUT IN FAITH AND SAID SIVER AND GOLD HAVE I NOT BUT WHAT I HAVE RECIEVE YE AND BE HEALED. THE POWER OF GOD HIT HER LIKE FIRE AND SHE SHOUTED AND AS SHE LOOKED UP THE FIRE WENT DOWN THE FOOD LINE WHERE OTHER WHERE WAITING TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT AND LIKE LITTLE SOILGERS THEY STARTED TO FALL OUT IN THE SPIRIT. AS SHE LOOK UP TEARS FLOWING FROM HE EYES SHE SAID GOD DOES LOVE ME HES HERE. AND RIGHT THEN SHE WAS HEALED AND BEGAN TO RUN AND DANCE BEFORE THE LORD. OH GOD IS SO GOOD THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR MERCY AND HEALING POWERS. AS WE PRAYED FOR MANY 7 GOT SAVED THAT DAY AND TWO WEEKS LATER HER SON CAME AND WAS HEALED TO AND ATE DINNER WITH US. I INVITED HER TO CHURCH AND WELL SHE CAME. EARLY ONE SUNDAY WHERE DO I GO I WAS COOKING AND I KNEW SHE WAS JUST WANTING TO STUDY THE WORD IN SUNDAY SCHOOL. WELL SHE WENT IN AND THEN AFTER SERVICE SHE CAME OUT AND GRABED ME AND LOOKED ME RIGHT IN THE EYES AND SAID THANK YOU YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE, I SMILED AND SAID NO NOT ME BUT JESUS CHRIST PAID THE FULL PRICE FOR YOU AND ME SO I ASKED HER HOW SERVICE WAS FOR I HAD TO COOK DINNER FOR 5000 SHE SMILED AND SAID I DID NOT KNOW CHURCH COULD BE SO FUN.
PEOPLE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN OR WHERE GOD WILL CHOSE TO HAVE MERCY AND HEAL AND SAVE THE LOST. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT YOU MUST BE WILLING TO STEP OUT IN FAITH AND BELEIVE GOD FOR WHO HE IS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS WRD AND WILL FOR YOUR LIFE.
