Prayer and Praise Reports

Praise Reports & Answers to Prayer

Help! I Want to Get Pregnant
A disciple of Worship Center Ministries (WCM) requested prayer to become pregnant. She had been married for two years. She and her husband were trying to become pregnant. On the day prayer was offered, it was three weeks before Christmas and she and her husband were leaving town for a Christmas shopping trip to Branson, Missouri. They planned to stay overnight in a local hotel to be fresh for a full day of Christmas shopping the following day. Prayer was offered that the next time she and her husband came together that the sperm and the seed would come together and produce a healthy baby girl, because they wanted a girl. Exactly nine months later, after this trip to Branson, which was September of the following year, the family welcomed a beautiful, healthy, baby girl named Karleigh Rae. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

I Need A New Place To Live
A sister in Christ stated she had been paying rent every since she left home, and she wanted to have her own home. She began attending the WCM prayer and bible study and was being blessed from the teaching and prayer. She requested prayer for God to bless she and her husband with a home. At this time she had not been paying her tithes. She was instructed on the blessings of being a faithful tither. She made a commitment that she would start being faithful to paying her tithes. Not long after making this commitment and becoming a faithful tither, she was blessed with a free home on an acre of land. She states it all started when she began paying her tithes and being consistent. She believes that her financial harvest has begun. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

I've Got To Get Back In College
A sister in Christ saw how God was blessing one of her siblings who had been attending WCM prayer and bible study. One day she asked her sister if she would agree with her in prayer that God would make a way for her to return to school and get her nursing degree. After praying together, the next day at work the sister who asked for prayer approached her boss, who owned the medical clinic she worked for, about returning to school and she was told that same day that the clinic would pay for all of her schooling if she returned to school. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer. We have not because we ask not.

Miracle Healing
A disciple of Worship Center Ministries asked for prayer for her brother’s girlfriend, who we will call Ms. A. At the time of the prayer request Ms. A. had been hospialized and in intensive care for five to six weeks. Her condition was considered critical because her blood pressure was out of control, and it had taken her into a coma. She also had heart problems, was on a breathing machine because she could not breathe on her own, and with a device inserted into her throat. During her hospital stay, Ms. A. had also contracted a staph infection and everyone entering the room had to put on surgical gowns and masks. A request for prayer was made on a particular Saturday for God to heal her and give Ms. A. a miracle. Two days after prayer had been offered for Ms. A, which was the following Monday; the praise report came in stating that Ms. A. received a miracle the day prayer was offered.

The WCM disciple called the hospital’s intensive care unit the day after prayer was offered, on that Sunday, to check on Ms. A.'s condition. The intensive care nurse said Ms. A. had been moved into a regular room on Saturday because her condition started improving and she kept getting better and better. To the disciple’s dismay, she asked when did Ms. A. begin improving? The intensive care nurse said it began on Saturday evening about 7:00 p.m., which was the same time prayer was going up on Ms. A.’s behalf. The disciple asked to be transferred to Ms. A.’s room. To her surprise, Ms. A. answered the phone; said she was feeling fine and she was sitting up in her bed reading the newspaper. God still work miracles and PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

Jesus has the power of life and death (Part 1)
Early one morning about 6:00am, the pastor of Worship Center Ministries received an alarming and urgent call from a hysterical relative saying I need you to go into pray immediately because my son, who’s away at college, has been shot and the doctor says he’s not going to make it. With no time to waste, the pastor went immediately into spiritual warfare prayer to fight for this young man’s life; and the Lord began working immediately on behalf of this family. Immediately every door began to open as God was preparing the way for a miracle report for this son and the family.The family had to leave town and travel 600 miles to another state where the son was hospitalized. The mother who's afraid of flying said she had to get a flight out immediately, the other family members said they would drive. Through a course of miraculous events, the mother was able to get a flight out that day and everyone ended up arriving to the hospital later that afternoon, at the same time. Upon arriving to the hospital, and seeing her son in intensive care, the news was grim but hopeful. The doctor’s stated that the bullet went into his chest and came out of his shoulder. It barely missed his heart by a few inches, but he was still in danger. Prayer was being offered continually for a miracle. The mother called two days later to report her son was out of danger. He was being monitored for a couple days to be sure he could be released. It was a miracle. Less than one week after this hairying ordeal, this young 19 year old was back at home with his family. Within two weeks, he was back to his regular actitivies, as if nothing happened. PRAISE GOD! The power of life and death is in the hands of Jesus, and He gave us that power also, if we will believe Him. He answers prayer and still works miracles.

Jesus has the power of life and death (Part 2)
Six months after this young man receives a miracle that brought him back from death to life, and having received the frantic call about his near death situation, the WCM pastor gets another frantic and desperate call from this same relative. And you will not believe it, but the same thing has happened a second time. This same mother's son, who has since left one college and transferred to a college in a different state, has been shot a second time. Different circumstances, different situation, and different people involved, but nonetheless, again, this is critical and even more serious than the first situation. This young man has been shot and once again the team of doctors offer no hope and say he is not going to make it. A miracle is needed for his survival.

WCM pastor goes immediately into spiritual warfare prayer again but this time she senses that there is a more serious battle between life and death than the first instance. The pastor is not so sure he is going to be able to pull out of this. Nevertheless, she perseveres in spiritual warfare prayer. Keeping in mind, this is not just anybody calling for prayer, this is also a relative of the pastor also. After several hours in spiritual warfare, the pastor sensing the strong presence of death and the battle intensifies in the spirit. The pastor asks God for a Word, a specific Word to fight off Death. Shortly thereafter, the pastor senses a Word coming from God. The Word is from Hebrews 2:14 which says; Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him [Satan] that [once] had the power of death, that is, the devil. This was the ammunition that the pastor needed to defeat the power of death. The pastor began to take authority over death and remind Satan that he no longer had power over death, and that he lost that power when Jesus came to earth as a man and died on the cross.

This spiritual warfare battle had been going on for over three hours in the spiritual realm, but after this revelatory word, the pastor began to sense in the spirit that victory had come. The Holy Spirit gave the pastor a peace that the young man was fine and that he would recover completely.

Later the same day, while attending the regular WCM prayer and bible study, the Holy Spirit gave the pastor a word of knowledge as another confirmation that the young man would be fine. She now had to wait to hear a praise report from the mother. And it came a couple days later. The mother called to report that the doctors were baffled. They do not know how he made it. The doctors even said it was a miracle. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer and still works miracles.

Financial help for college bound student
Prayer was offered on behalf of one of the WCM disciples' children who had completed a two year college program on a full scholarship, with an associate's degree, but now she needed financial aid to complete her remaining two years at another institution, which was beginning the next semester. Shortly after prayer was offered on behalf of this college student, the student received notification she had received a full volleyball scholarship to complete her bachelor’s degree at a four year institution. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer. He is Jehovah Jireh, our provider.

God supplies every need according to His riches
The niece of one of WCM disciples called requesting prayer for GOD to bless her with relocating back to her hometown in Centralia, IL. She had moved to another city, approximately sixty miles away for a change in hope of a better quality of life. After living in this city for six months, she felt she had made a mistake and needed to move back home to Centralia. She was specific in her prayer request and needed God’s help in obtaining a house, a job for she and her daughter, and to catch up on her back car payments. She and her family were living in an apartment and upon moving back she decided that she wanted to live in a brick home, with a two-car garage, in a nice neighborhood, which was on her list of everything she wanted in the home. She also needed a job, along with a way to catch up on her back car payments. Her specific prayer request was that she wanted to be re-hired with the school district as an Attendance Advocate, which was a job that she had been hired for prior to moving to the new city. During prayer, God gave a Word of Wisdom to WCM's pastor that this young lady would have a miracle in two days. Several days passed without getting word of her condition. This young lady called over a week later with a praise report stating that God had answered her prayer request. She reported that two days after prayer was offfered, she had found the house with her specifications. She was moving into a brick home, with a two car garage in a nice neighborhood in Centralia, and she gave me her new address. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

She also called about the job as Attendance Advocate in the school district, and was told by the school principal that the position was still open and she would be notified about the rehiring process as soon as possible. Her desire was to be hired before the school year began. The praise report on this is still pending. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

God’s intervention on behalf of two of His servants with a puzzling illnessA friend of WCM called asking prayer for her church friends, a husband and wife team who just returned to the states from a missions trip to Cambodia. After returning to the states, both the husband and wife began to develop some puzzling neurological problems. The husband collapsed at the airport and was taken directly to the hospital. His wife was experiencing some similar feelings of weakness, headaches and so. Both were facing extreme financial difficulties due to loss of employment and insurance cost for hospitalization and the battery of neurological tests needed by both husband and wife. A few days after prayer was offered on their behalf, WCM pastor received a praise report via email indicating that God had intervened for this couple. The medical conditions had been resolved, the husband was out of the hospital, back to work and feeling great, the wife had returned to work, and her body was coming back to normalcy. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

The blessings of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow
A WCM disciple, who has experienced the power of answered prayer; called wanting prayer for God to bless her with a new job that offered many benefits and career opportunities. The new job offered an opportunity to become a licensed clinical social worker, and to have all of her outstanding college bills (both undergraduate and graduate) be paid in full. What an opportunity for God to cancel over $60,000 in college loans! After discussing the opportunity and assessing the pros and cons of the new job, prayer was offered that God would intervene and open up this door of opportunity for her. Several days later, she sent an email with a praise report stating that God blessed her with the job, she will receive the benefits of her college loans being paid off, and she received the salary she requested. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

God has given His people power over life and deathThere was a great move of God during a WCM prayer and bible study meeting when a friend and minister associate of WCM pastor was a guest. The power of God was moving in this meeting. Others present were being slain in the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit were in operation: the gift of prophecy, divers tongues; interpretation of tongues; discerning of spirits, gifts of healing and faith were all present to bless those present and to cast out demons. This friend was under heavy attack by demonic forces in her body, in her personal life, and spiritually, but God moved on her behalf. The pastor of WCM took authority over the demonic forces and cast out the spirit of infirmity that was attacking her body. This minister instantly got better, as others present also received special blessings from God. It was a service full of the presence, power, and anointing of the Holy Spirit. We ended the service full of joy and continued expectation from God. Everything was fine, but in the car, on the way home, the guest minister became short of breath, began sweating, and began passing out into an unconscious state. She flipped the seat back in the car and laid back on the car seat as her body became limp and lifeless. She then looked up and spoke with a very weak voice and said, “I’m passing.” Much to the dismay of the pastor, who said, “you’re what?” And the guest minister repeated it again; “I’m passing.” The pastor thought she must have meant she was passing gas; but she was actually saying that she was dying. When the pastor understood what was really going on, the pastor took authority over the spirit of death and said, “oh no you’re not.” “You’re not going to die on me...not on my watch.” The pastor immediately began to go into spiritual warfare prayer in the car and pray in what she describes as unknown tongues of spiritual battle; taking authority over and rebuking the spirit of death, and commanding this minister to live and not die. All of this happening, as the pastor is driving and trying to find a place to pull off the road. After five or ten minutes of this, we approached a rest area. We got out, and the pastor had to help the other minister to put on our coats and hats, and to walk toward the restrooms. The guest minister's body was still limp and almost lifeless. The entire time, WCM pastor was rebuking the spirit of death and commanding her body to live and not die. By the time we walked, with the pastor almost dragging the minister, from the car to the restroom; life, strength, and the peace of God had been restored to the guest and the WCM pastor. The minister washed her face and reported she was feeling fine.

She expalined to the pastor what had happened during this near death experience and said that the prayer had saved her life. She said it was a miracle and it was. It happened so fast and right before the pastor's eyes. It was the resurrecting power of God that brought her back from death onto life. The guest minister stated she is including this praise report in her upcoming book. PRAISE GOD! He answers prayer.

God performed so many miracles during this time of prayer, praise and bible study, that it's hard to remember the specifics of each one. All I know is that when we believe God and come into agreement with what His Word says, He always shows up and blesses His people. My favorite scriptures are found in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:19-20, where Jesus is telling the disciples about the power that He has given to the Church. Jesus calls it "the keys to the kingdom of God," that whatsoever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatsoever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. That's power. Let's begin using it!!!
