A man who's wife was rushed to A&E on Thursday with suspected meningitus has told of a miraculous turn of events throughout a 48 hour period as we've prayed. God's timing in the ambulance and her daughter returning was miraculous in itself, any different and she would be dead. Within 36 hours she was out of intensive care and has astounded doctors at the speed of her recovery
A woman who's family were involved in a serious road accident last saturday has also told of supernatural things happening in the hospital. Her aunt should have been dead, according to doctors 5 days ago, but is still alive and stable.

A husband testified how miraculous it was that his wife is pregnant when she'd been told by doctors that she would have to have medication to conceive
A lady dared to be crazy and spoke to over 10 people about God this last week
Ten years of being in and out of different homes and on the streets left one young man in a mess. He came to church but then left, as he's now returned his life now looks very different
For an elderly lady who had a fall two years ago she ended up so scared of falling that she didn't go out on her own for that whole time. Now free of fear she's walked on her own every day

embarrassment

6th Apr
An excited church celebrated with a couple who announced that they are expecting a baby!
For a young man who'd had an accident and come off his bike this week it was hard to be told that he would be on painkillers for 8 weeks & it would be 12 weeks before he'd be walking again. He was dancing at church today though!
For many people conversations have started to happen, an opportunity to pray comes easily, from the streets to a steam room it's exciting to see the opportunities open up.
A lady who'd responded to the time last week about simply prayer feels reborn and is just raising the level
Another lady felt as though she was delivering a huge baby. It was as if God split her in 2 and cleaned her up
A lady who's battled depression for years got depressed , but she started singing. As she did anger rose but then something broke and the anger immediately disappeared
God's hands were on one lady's shoulder as He called her to be a retained firefighter, on call 24/7
The sense of responsibility was huge upon a young lady but as she pushed forwards it was as though she was on the top of a mountain were the wind is really strong and you struggle to breathe, but was totally wrapped up in God
A man went out to a pub and just felt strongly that we just have to get the secret out
In the time where God was powerfully touching lives during the meeting things were "taken off"
religiosity
fear of people
fear of getting it wrong

the gates of the mind, now brave enough to take a risk
the pressure from others who bring us down
chains of fear - God has the key to bring freedom
