PROSPERITY AND ANSWERED PRAYER
FOR MANY YEARS

I've been meaning to write to you to thank you for your response to my recent prayer request regarding our financial concerns. Your recommendations were so on target...especially about our returning to "what worked before"...keeping the gratitude journals, etc. (Duh! I felt so stupid! Why did we ever let that practice go?!) I've also been able to get my husband to agree to do the 40 Day Prosperity Plan you sent me. He hasn't told me yet when he'll be able to begin, but I've already begun it myself, and even got my mother in Georgia to do it with me! I've also ordered several of John Randolph Price's books!

Several "issues" around our money problems have come to light for me since your treatment, and lovely little "miracles" have come our way as well. The weekend I wrote to you and asked for your prayers with this was Easter. We were facing it with about $20 to live on for another week, and I hadn't even gotten the Easter dinner supplies yet. I went to the grocery store trying to plan in my head what I could buy with this $20 that would feed us all week long, and what could I possibly make that would be special enough for an Easter dinner for all of us? At the store on Saturday, I decided to buy one of those 3/4" slices of ham for about $4 for our Easter meal...just enough for the four of us. As I approached the meat counter where the ham slices were, and was about to reach for one of them, the butcher plunked down an entire ham, already sliced into 3/4" slices, with a price tag of $5.25! I said, "What's wrong with that meat?!" And he said, "Absolutely nothing, M'am. Some lady asked me to slice it for her, and then she changed her mind, and decided to serve steaks at her party instead! I can't sell this much sliced ham before tomorrow, so I have to make it cheap!" Well, I know a "manna from heaven" when I see it, so I bought it! I also felt that this was a sign that we would have more than enough of whatever we needed...so much so, that we should share it....so I dropped by the house of a new neighbor on the way home...she and her husband and two young children had just moved in less than a week before, all the way from California, and had no family out this way, so I invited them to join us for Easter dinner. Needless to say, we had more than enough for everyone, made new friends, and that ham lasted us over a week!

Well, I wanted to share that with you. Thank you again. You all at the Ministry of Prayer have always been remarkably effective with your prayers through the years. One time, several years ago, I called the Ministry and asked for prayers regarding my husband's work...he'd been sending out resumes for a year and a half, with no results...not even one interview request, and an hour later my husband's soon-to-be-new boss called...saying he'd had Jim's resume on his desk for three months, and had planned on hiring someone else for the new position that very day, but for some reason he "just couldn't explain", he felt compelled to give Jim a call and interview him before making that final choice. He got the job the following week!

Another time, about 11 years ago, I'd called for help with health issues. I was a physical and emotional wreck. The person who answered the phone that day saved my life and helped me begin healing in so many ways that I have never been able to write about it to thank them properly. And believe me, I tried many times. I still can't put it into words what she did for me that would do her any justice. Not only did all of my symptoms disappear gradually over the course of a month, never to return, but she had told me that my "story" was "typical of an Adult Child of an Alcoholic", and suggested that I try to locate a support group, or books on the issue. I had never heard of such a thing! To think they actually had a name for it...that I wasn't alone! That night, my husband, without even knowing what I was going through (I never let on to him about my health issues or that I'd called the Ministry of Prayer for help) came home from work with a Calendar of Events from the hospital where he worked....and said "Hey, Honey, look at this! They've got an "Adult Children of Alcoholics" support group meeting every Wednesday night at the hospital! Why don't you give it a try!" That same week, I was led to Suzanne Somers' book "Keeping Secrets"....and between them both, I learned that I wasn't crazy or weird or "sick in the head"....I finally understood what was going on with me, and was able to let go of the past and heal my body, my mind and heart, and my spirit.

Well, thanks again and again. You have no idea how much your work means to me and my family. I'm sure it must be hard sometimes to send out so much love and light and not always find out "how things turned out" or know how much it's appreciated. My excuse through the years has always been that the healing was always so overwhelmingly powerful and effective, that I just didn't know what to say!

Thanks and donations seem so miniscule and inept in comparison. The years and life have taught me, though, that thanks really do matter. So thank you. Thank you, thank you!

Love, Jill Lambert
