Finger of God Testimony

I guess I missed the Furious Love contest, but I wanted to share my testimony for the Finger of God Deluxe Edition. I had no idea that it wss 5 DVD's long. We had wanted to borrow it for awhile from our friend, Derek S., who is the CCM--Contemporary Christian Ministries leader. He graciously lent it to us saying that we could mail it back to him. I kept thinking that I would watch it over the weekend and give it back not realizing how long it is. We had a special retreat that began with the guest ministry of Frank & Nephtali Seamster. Friday night, I stayed up late and watched the 1st DVD and part of the 2nd DVD. I was blown away especially by the Bethel School of the Supernatural students, but I was inspired....Next day, I'm trying to tell my best friend, Peggy, (now my wife) about it. I was so inspired that my faith was challenged, and I began to walk in the "anointing" of the Holy Spirit like the Bethel students. Peggy did not have faith for a healing of her legs, but I asked Nephtali to pray over her and then made her take off her two ankle braces. She did not want to, but I made her test them (her feet and ankles) out by running. She did not believe, was not real cooperative, and went to the bathroom up a small flight of stairs. She took them normally. In all my time of knowing Peggy, she had never taken stairs normally always slowly one stair and one foot at a time. She began to scream and laugh so much that she was almost hyperventilating. It was a miracle just like the Finger of God events and the Bethel students! Not only that....there was more. I stated a very short statement to our friend Derek that turned out to be a prophetic word of Knowledge to him. This had never really happened to me like this before. I watched the DVD's and experienced an anointing that blew me away, makes me hungry for me, enlivens my life, and challenges me spiritually to have more of the Holy Spirit in my life. Thank you so much for these films! God, peace, blessings, and endowment be with you and God bless all your future endeavors! Thanks again! Randall

Sermon 2.5.12: Breakthrough-How bad do you want it?

SERMON 2-5-12: BREAKTHROUGH: HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?
Prayer—Dr. Nick and Dr. Eva

“Breakthrough”: Webster defines it as “1. The act, result, or place of breaking through against resistance, as in warfare. 2. A strikingly important advance or discovery.” Thesaurus uses terms like “attack, prelude, innovation”
Principles of Breakthrough:

1) Attack—assault, onslaught, charge, rush, drive, push, blitzkrieg--see 2 Samuel 23:16, 1 Chronicles 11:18
a. Courage and victory even against overwhelming odds
b. All glory and credit goes to God

2) Prelude—change, work a change, new phase—see Luke 18:1-8
a. Prayer and persistence are a key!
b. God answers prayer, but He is not a vending machine! (put a coin/faith in, get what you want out)

3) Innovation—introduction, discovery (or re-discovery—power of prayer & fasting), leap, transformation—see Genesis 32:24-31
a. Persistence (repeated it!!!) and sacrifice (fasting) are a key to breakthrough!!!
b. Who are you? Jacob (heel)Israel (God-wrestler) Breakthrough involves a change in identity! How bad do you want it?!?

Conclusion: Breakthrough involves courage, prayer, persistence, more persistence, and transformation!!! How bad do you want it?
