Giving Testimonies

Hello Everyone!

I am writing at the request of Pastor Dees. I shared with him a story about our pledge to Heritage Partners, that preceded a raise that I got from my job as a caregiver that equaled THREE TIMES what we pledged!!!!

How many of you have a similar story to tell? We would like for you to share that with me, so I can put them in written form and share these testimonies with others, to help encourage them and to proclaim God's goodness and His promise being kept! (Not that we have any doubts about that). You don't have to tell how much you pledged, or what your raise/windfall/surprise amounts are, just share your story!

It's so very important to shout from the rooftops what God has done for us. Along these same lines, I would also like to gather your testimonies of God touching your life, through healing, through showing you the light, changing your life, whatever He has done for you, just tell me about it! What a wonderful witnessing tool we can be if we share our stories!

I hope to get a lot of responses so we are letting our light shine, and not hiding it "under a bushel". :)

Oh, and don't think that your story isn't "dramatic" enough....every story will mean something to someone...and it will help us remember just what God has done for us!

In His Love

Pam-

You asked us all some time ago to share our testimonies about Heritage Partners, so today Jesus impressed me to get this testimony out into the hands of as many people as possible...!!

I believe you are going to put it on the website, which is perfect, but I am also copying many people on this email so they can take a moment to witness God's Glory in our lives! We are so thankful for what the LORD has done for us in ONLY 18 WEEKS....not only are we thankful for the blessing he has pooooured out, but we are so excited about the new building and all the souls that will be exposed to saving knowledge of JESUS CHRIST through that ministry!!! So in JESUS NAME and ONLY TO BRING HIM GLORY we share this with you all!!!

Also if you or Vicki or Kristen want to email this to all...that's fine with us, there are many email addresses I do not have.....

Back in the week of November 16th...AJ & I planted our first seed-at that time we planted a $50.00 seed....well that same week we received an extra unexpected amount of money from people that had never given us money, but wanted to offer AJ an early Christmas gift....so at that time we received $300.00 in gifts over a two week time period!! THANK YOU JESUS!!

So then as Pastor preached on Sundays about things we could cut out or to pledge more as we (Trinity) hadn't met our goal....the LORD impressed me to just put back money weekly so that we could give more monthly!!

Still in November, my friend Erin showed me I could get a 50.00 net increase weekly by changing my taxes, as I had them take out more to get back more YEARS ago and had forgotten about that......

The second month of our planting in partnership with Heritage Partners

I received an $800.00 Christmas bonus, a $100.00 gift from out of state, and many other financial gifts that I can't even list them all!! We also had someone in need ask the church to to help with a Duke bill in the amount of $400.00-which we ask around and did not receive any monies...so at Wed night service we gave the bill to the LORD and simply said we trust you JESUS!!! Well, I had a lady at work come to me and tell me her seroity wanted to help a family in need but couldn't find on....they even asked one lady and she refused their help...so JESUS used those ladies to pay this bill!

Then in the third month of planting I AJ received a $100 net pay increase!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!

In the fourth month, I had my seed for the fifth month....somehow I managed to put back monies and in the beginning we were giving $50.00 now we give about $72.00 each month...so I had it early...and when I saw this...I knew it would pay another bill, BUT I refused to touch it! I told JESUS it was HIS money and I would plant it and stand on HIS promises even though monies were tight that week! Well that very WEEK, I received my annual evalution at work...and got another pay increase AND a maunal check for the week before-which was EXACTLY WHAT I PROMISED JESUS I WOULDN'T TOUCH...!!!!! THEN

I went to the dentist a 160.00 debt had disappeared! I KNOW I never PAID it because I keep my budget on an excel spreadsheet and have records for over a year back...!! So I offered three times to pay it and then THANKED JESUS for removing it!!!

In the fifth month, I received 1000.00 bonus!! Out of grace for NOT making my numbers-Old HIckory wanted to give me something for the millions I did sell!!!

So here's a snap shot of what the LORD has done since November:

AJ's pay increase has blessed us with a total of $900.00 to date

My pay has increased NET weekly and blessed us $1260.00 to date

Gifts & Bonuses have blessed us with a total of $2760.00

SO IN 18 WEEKS THE LORD HAS BLESSED US WITH A TOTAL OF $4920.00

I don't think people fully get it!! When you have FAITH and TRUST JESUS he can then release HIS POWER and BLESS US FINANCIALLY!!!

The first thing that comes from our pay checks is GOD"s MONEY!! We give HIM HIS 10%

then the next thing is our WEEKLY TRINITY HERITAGE PARTNERS OFFERING....THEN THE NEXT SEED WE PLANT IS ST. JOE TUITION...MANY PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN'T AFFORD THAT EITHER, BUT TO ME I AM BLESSED AND HONORED TO PLANT THAT SEED SO THAT JESUS CAN BE THE CENTER OF THEIR SCHOOL DAY AND WORK HIS WILL IN THEM....THEN WE ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH TO PAY ALLLLL OUR BILLS!!!

So I share all of this in JESUS name...I tell you what we give and what we pledge not out of boasting BUT so you can see GOD's GLORY PEOPLE!!!!....he took a 50.00 seed....changed it right away into a $72.00 seed...so we have given him a total of 361.00 for Heritage Partners only and that alone he turned into $4920.00!!!

So, I pray that he writes this testimony on your hearts and increases your faith!

It's not a game, it's not the lottery, it's Kingdom principals and standing on God's WORD and HIS promises! Now that soooo much has come to pass....I must share this with everyone so we can take an inventory of all the miracles he has pooured out in all of lives...we need to thank HIM, praise HIM, and bless HIS holy name....if you are not a part of this program it is URGENT that you sign up....if you are signed up I encourage you to find another another $5.00 a month and give it to JESUS....and see what happens when YOU SUBMIT CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY TO HIM!!!!
