Prayer request for June 22, 2008
Thank you to all who have prayed and continue to pray for all of the people effected by the massive flooding in the midwest.
Since June 6, 24 people have dies and 148 people have been injured as a result of the flooding currently effecting 6 states. Natural disaster's across the globe have been the subject of our prayers for months now, and as the summer approaches we find that now we are being given a sample of what these lesser developed nations have been facing.

Paraplegic healed by the power of group prayer

THE MIRACLE HEALING TESTIMONY

Giving all the Praise, Honor and Glory unto the Lord through whom this testimony is made possible this eleventh day of November 2000.
Edited this 20 th day of December to include the following quote from my Doctor, Dr. Dino Delaportas, MD

"I rejoice in awe of you and the miracles the Lord has performed."

My physician, as evidenced in the enclosed document, has confirmed the miracles I received from the Lord during a Faith and Victory Service at the World Harvest Church with Pastor Rod Parsley delivering the Word on November 5 th , 2000.

On Monday the 13 th of May 1985 I was involved in a motorcycle v. train accident which resulted in a Closed Head Injury (massive traumatic brain injury), Ruptured Optic Nerve (right eye), and Spinal Injuries. These injuries left me a quadriplegic (no use of my lower extremities and only partial use of my right hand with no feeling on my entire right side) cognitive deficits and short-term memory loss. As you can imagine these injuries were tremendously life changing. However, being a Born Again Christian, as well as having been an Emergency Medical Technician for several years before my accident, I was better situated in overcoming my injuries and moving forward with my life.

Although I was confined to a wheelchair I was able to continue through Him in my education at Salisbury State University, Hagerstown Junior College, and Prince George's Community College where I was a student in General Studies and Para-Legal Studies.

During the time between 1994 - June 2000, I went through a lot of turmoil in both my personal and professional life and was separated in faith through choice and ignorance - I thought I knew better without the Lord - was I ever wrong. This was perhaps the most destructive time in my life. I attempted suicide twice, lost the love of my life (so I thought), lost a business, and lots of friends.

Finally in July 2000, due to circumstances beyond my control, I was stuck at my Sister-in-Christ's house with a broken down van. During this time I was lead back to the Lord and magnificent things started happening. I became so full of the Spirit that I lost control and have completely surrendered unto Him. I became active in the Church (The Tabernacle Church of Laurel, MD) and have been working on computers at the church since.
About three weeks before the November 5 th service at the World Harvest Church the Lord moved in me that I needed to be in Columbus, Ohio on November 5 th . I didn't know why. I didn't know anyone in Columbus nor had I ever heard of Pastor Rod Parsley or the World Harvest Church. Then about two weeks later I saw in infomercial about a Dept Burning Service at the World Harvest Church and the fact that the church was located in Columbus, Ohio. The Lord immediately came over me and led me to call the church right then to get the information, which ultimately lead to my being there on November 5 th .

On the evening of Thursday, November 2 nd I went to service at church in Laurel, MD and gave testimony that the Lord had placed it on my heart that I was to go to the World Harvest Church in Columbus, Ohio and that I was to receive a healing - just what healing I didn't know as I had several ailments. The Pastor then prayed over me for a healing that manifested the next morning with the feeling being restored to my right hand. Later that Thursday evening the Pastor took an offering in order that my gas be covered to get me to Columbus - otherwise, without this blessing from God, I would not have been able to receive the awesome blessing that the Lord has provided.

Upon arrival at the church I called into the church from the parking lot, on my cell phone to see if there was some type accommodation that I may freshen up after my more than 400 mile drive. During this conversation I was informed that I had called in on the Prayer Line and the offer was extended for prayer. She asked if it would be ok to include 3 more people on line for this prayer as they believe that group prayer can offer a stronger voice. ( were ever 3 or more are gathered in my name...) I accepted the offer and during this prayer a burning sensation came over my feet and I knew that the Lord was once again at work in my body and at that point I declared through Him that I would be healed and that I would accept His blessing that would enable me to walk. I revealed this to the prayer partners and asked that they keep an eye out for this miracle and then come shake my hand afterward so that I may meet them and thank them for agreeing in this healing.

During the service on November 5 th the Pastor called all those with diabetes to come forward - and while I was up there the Pastor named several other afflictions and during this time I could feel the Lord working on my body and when I went to adjust myself in my wheelchair one of your ushers asked if I was trying to get out of my chair - and before I had a chance to respond the Spirit took control and spoke through me and said "I'm going to jump out of this chair in thirty seconds" - well guess what? - in thirty seconds I was standing for the first time in 15 ½ years. The ushers then asked if I could walk - I didn't know - after all this was the first I had stood in 15 ½ years - I took a few steps forward and back and they asked if I could walk up the steps and I replied "lets ask the Lord" - and with that the Lord walked me up the steps onto platform (stage) on which the pulpit stands.

Before I entered the church that evening I tested my blood sugar and it as 470 without insulin for the prior three days. After I returned to my seat in the witness of the ushers and God Himself I tested my Blood sugar again - it as 128: Praise God and the power of group paryer!!!

And the healing hasn't stopped. After returning to Laurel I called the Pastor to inform him of the awesome miracles and ask that I be allowed to go into the sanctuary at the Tabernacle Church to give Praise and Worship unto Him for what He had provided in me and for the many others to see the miracles that they may also be blessed and renewed in Faith and in the awesome power of goup prayer.

Prior to going into the sanctuary that morning, I met with some people for a group prayer led my Pastor to pray over my eye and by the power of God flowing through him the patch came off. Praise God!!! The optic nerve damage in that eye was healed and I have limited vision out of my right eye. I still need prayer to clear up a cataract which has formed in that eye over the years but I put all my Faith and Trust in Him that this condition will also come to pass.

On Sunday, November 10 th , God anointed a service at The Tabernacle Church (a packed house I may add) through which the miracles were unveiled in a dramatic way giving Praise, Honor, and All the Glory unto Him through Jesus Christ. His blessing which was bestowed unto me was then released and poured out over the congregation at the Church as He restored and renewed His Faith in His followers - it was absolutely awesome to be witness to His Awesome Power!!!

In a recent conversation with the Lord, He revealed to me that He has performed a supernatural healing in restoring me in which man is unable and that know I am to seek man to restore that which he is able and may we all be blessed in the gifts He has provided in all.

In the meantime be blessed and relax in the Spirit of the Lord and I am looking forward to God blessing the masses through the blessing that He has bestowed upon me as I follow His directive to go forth and spread the Word and demonstrate the awesome power of the Lord as He has provided in me.

Decrease in crime

In 1993 a 48% decrease in crime in D.C. Was attributed to an experiment of 4000 people meditating at the same time. Certainly many of these people were using this time to for prayer, but you can imagine what the results could have been if all 4000 of them had been praying? “Strength in numbers” can not be disputed here as well as John 16:23 “I tell you the truth; my father will give you whatever you ask in His name.”

This study was a two-month prospective experiment to reduce violent crime in Washington, DC. On the basis of previous research it was hypothesized that the level of violent crime in the District of Columbia would drop significantly with the creation of a large group of participants to increase coherence and reduce stress in the District.

And it worked.

Included in the study was a 27 member review board which consisted of sociologists and criminologists from leading universities, representatives from the police department and government of the District of Columbia, and civic leaders. The approved in advance the research protocol and monitored the progress.

About United in Prayers

United in Prayer is a community of believers, coming together to help put an end to all of the tragedies in the world and to help heal the tragedies that have already happened.

The idea came, after receiving a weather alert text message. At the same moment that message was received, the idea of a service that could text a prayer globally, literally touching hundreds of thousands of people at the same time and allowing them a few moments of simultaneous “community prayer”, was conceived.

This technology is not free, in order for United in Prayer to pay for this service we rely 100% on the donations of our community.

We are extremely honored to be able to share in a few moments of prayer with each of you and look forward to having the largest global community sharing in group prayer.

United in Prayers was initiated by Catherine Horan. She lost her husband 7 years ago in a tragic circumstance.

Here is her story in her own words:

Seven years ago my husband was shoved to the ground, bound and gagged, kidnapped in his own car, and he was killed by shooting. He was an honest and God fearing man, he was gentle and caring. He was active in church functions. He participated in ministries such as caring for the sick and the elderly. He volunteered to provide transportation for those who needed it to attend church. There are not enough words to describe the goodness in my husband, a true gift from God.

After the horrific event of his death, I decided I would try to make a difference in this world like he was trying to do. I searched a long time, praying for God to help me to find a way to give a meaning to his death.
One day, I received a weather alert text message on my phone and God spoke to me and told me that this technology could be use to serve him.

God's given technology and faith have come together to create the means for the necessary changes. I am inviting you to be a part of it.

God has a plan for each of us and it became clear that mine is to unify all the Christians together in prayer to change the world.

It's now in your power to join United in Prayers and to make it the largest Christian movement in the world. Just imagine what will happen if hundreds of thousands of Christian start to pray at the same time about the same event. Together, by prayer, we can call God's power on earth. Together we can influence the stream of events to make our world like God wanted it to be.
