| Saved by Grace |

| |
Last night I was saved by grace... If God hadn't woke me up I would have died! Because of all my pain I am constantly microwaving rice bags. The heat relieves the pain. Last night I put the rice bag in the microwave, like I have for years, and fell asleep. The microwave just kept running. I don't know how long I was sleeping, but I woke up hearing in my spirit...the microwave. When I jumped out of bed I was hit by toxic fumes. As I ran to open the door I gagged not only because of the fumes, but because of the lack of oxygen. When I went in the kitchen the bag had burned up and the plastic door to the microwave was melted pouring out a horrendous toxic smoke. I turned off the microwave and opened the doors and windows. It's was a very cold and terrifying night! I am sitting here with two robes and blankets on and the place still reeks. Praise God! The only oxygen left in my apartment was a bubble around me! As I walk around turning on fans and trying to clear the air I was still able to notice the difference in the air where I was! God supernaturally protected me! Not only God, but all the saints who have been praying and standing in the gap for me! May God pour out His blessings on them! God is so good! I am so grateful to be saved by grace. |

Kathy – Thank you. Yes, it was a very scary night. I am still shaken.
Keith – A little cold I can handle…but not stone cold. I am grateful to still be alive! Thank you Jesus for your grace!
Margie – Thank you so much my friend. I am blessing the name of Jesus! I praise God for the angels camped around me protecting me and for the Spirit of the Lord that woke me up. I can still feel the presence left behind, even in the midst of all these fumes. As I was praying about this, God showed me an angel with wings spread out that was hovering over my bed protecting me from the fumes and pouring out oxygen. I had just called my sister yesterday evening and told her I was smelling oxygen. I started smelling it on Saturday. I think there was an angel following me around with oxygen, knowing I was going to need it. I am still shaking and in awe. We serve a mighty God! |

Praise God, isn't it wonderful when we are in trouble how the Spirit of the Lord wakes us because we are in dangerous harm. Then again when the Spirit has need for us to pray about a certain situation or need of someone else. We serve an awesome God. |

Wow! God is good and His plans for you will not be stopped. I have been reading "Commanding Your Morning" by Cindy Trimm. ---powerful stuff. In the back she has a list of prayers for all types of areas in our lives. I would highly recommend it! Here are a some of the prayers and I will continue to pray them for you. There is nothing more that the enemy would like to do then stop you from ministering in Jesus name. "I release Brenda and all that is assigned to her and associated with her into the atmosphere. Allow prayer warriors to pick her up in the realm of the spirit and pray, reinforcing her hedge of protection. Let them stand in the prophetic and intercessory gap for her and all that is assigned to her and associated with her. I call forth every individual and resource assigned to assist her in the fulfillment of her kingdom assignment during this season. Let her attract only the things, thoughts, people, and resources suitable to undergird and facilitate God's original plan and purpose for her life. Empower her to make positive and significant deposits in other people's lives. Maximize her potential and let her move boldly toward her destiny. Lord you have used all Your divine skill to put her together; She is fearfully and wonderfully made. We remind principalities, powers, and familiar spirits that they have no right to touch her life in any way, for she is in covenant with God and hidden in the secret places of the most High God. Holy Spirit, lead and guide her into all truth. Order her steps according to Your Word and Your original plan and purpose for her life. Cause the east winds of judgment to blow into the enemy's camp. Stop the diabolical cyclones and demonic winds designed to bring shipwreck and disaster into my life. Cause the divine and fresh winds of the Holy Spirit to blow. Let the west winds of replenishment, the north winds of abundance, and the south winds of restoration and supernatural supply blow profusely." Amen (Cindy Trimm) I love you and I am so glad that God has brought us together as friends! Have a great week. Gaye |

May God bless you, heal you, strengthen you, give you guidance and peace. |
