GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS

Interceding is more than praying… that is what struck me as I listen to the message of the speaker invited by our community to talk on the topic of intercession. The talk confirms the materials I have read that it is asking, seeking and knocking at the heart of God to hear our prayer for others. It is pleading our Lord to bring down His glory and power upon the person we bring to him in prayer. It is a giving of our heart in praying. No doubt, God listens to all our prayers but he is most delighted when we forget about ourselves and bring others to Him because of our love for that brother or sister! Our God is a God of love, and, one way we can spread His love is by interceding for a brother or sister in need.

By reading through the testimonies, may you also experience the love that we share when we intercede for others and may you, likewise, be blessed by the power of the Lord manifested. All glory to God!!

We would like to thank the Lord and the prayers of the Community for the expeditious release of my wife's documents despite the seriousness of the case. Some DFA bosses who were with us at the Philippine Embassy in Jakarta helped us with the situation. The Lord was so kind enough to have the documents completed in the nick to time just to catch up with the very tight travel schedules.

Kindly convey my message of thanks to the Community for having prayed for me during my US CPA Board Exams last November. After a tense three-month wait, I have received my results and I have passed all sections of the exams with respectable grades. I am very thankful for the spiritual boost that I am still getting from the community despite my distance. I am equally thankful for a supporting and loving family in Manila and back in Chicago - my mom, my siblings, aunts and cousins who selflessly shared in the physical, emotional and even financial sacrifices I had to make. Help me in praying that I may be able to put this accomplishment to good use in accordance with our Lord's plans. Again, thank you to all.

Eddie would like to thank you all for the prayers. He just started his job yesterday, not quite the one he wants but we believes God's hand is working. He is so great, He somehow has made a way for him. Thank you for the prayers.

Sis. Beth Roxas
Thank you GOD and bless all those who supported me in prayers for good results of my recent medical checkup. My bone density test showed improvement and other areas of concern are under control by medications and good medical advice. I am thankful and happy for all these.

Sharon Senovich (thru Sandra Suryakristianto)
We would like to thank all the Genesis prayer warriors for praying for Sharon's full mastectomy operation on Feb 25, 2002. The operation went very well and Sharon's back home again with her family. She is resting to regain her strength and health with the help of her beloved sons and husband. God is indeed good to whom who loves Him and believes in Him! Even her lymph nodes biopsy test results came clear and no cancerous cells were found. Praise the Lord! God is indeed good to those who love and serve him. May God return your kindness in blessings for offering us the prayers.

Judith Reyes (thru Bro. Ramon Martillano)
Thank you very much for all your prayers and for visiting my son in the hospital. It is very consoling to have friends to comfort us and share our burden. Hansen is already back to school today. May God bless you all. Praise be to God whose goodness dwells in the hearts of men.

Cora Oliva (thru Bro. Ramon Martillano)
TP's okay. With a very slight temperature, he was able to go to school after the 4-day weekend and has not had fever since then. He's had a normal week at school, including basketball practice. Thanks again for the prayers.
