SALVATION PRAYER If you do not know Jesus as your Savior and Lord, simply pray the following prayer in faith, and Jesus will be your Lord! Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” and “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Acts 2:21; Romans 10:9). You said my salvation would be the result of Your Holy Spirit giving me new birth by coming to live in me (John 3:5-6, 15-16; Romans 8:9-11) and that if I would ask, You would fill me with Your Spirit and give me the ability to speak with other tongues (Luke 11:13; Acts 2:4). I take You at Your Word. I confess that Jesus is Lord. And I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead. Thank You for coming into my heart, for giving me Your Holy Spirit as You have promised, and for being Lord over my life. Amen.

They were able to get the girl out who called that night, but not her friend. The next morning, they found the other girl’s dead body. The girl who escaped rededicated her life to the Lord, is back in church and getting an education.” Faith for a Miracle In August 2015 Jenny’s home church, Living Word Christian Center in Minneapolis, hosted a Faith Explosion with Kenneth Copeland. Jenny and her husband, Kevin, had a long history of faith. Right after they married in 1981, they moved to Tulsa, Okla., where Kevin attended Rhema Bible Training Center. While there, they were introduced to Kenneth Copeland Ministries. They heard Kenneth and Gloria speak live at one of Brother Kenneth Hagin’s campmeetings. It had only been a few weeks after Jenny’s fall when Kevin asked if she wanted to attend Faith Explosion. She did. On Thursday night, Brother Copeland was preaching when he stopped and began to pray in the spirit. Then he gave a word of knowledge. “Someone’s neck is being healed right here,” he said pointing at the back of his neck. “You’re not going to have surgery. You’re getting a brand-new vertebra.” “That’s me!” Jenny said. “I claim it, in Jesus’ Name!” The next morning when she woke, the Lord said, 'Feel your neck.' It was normal. Nothing stuck out. Jenny walked into the kitchen with tears streaming down her face. “I have a new vertebra,” she told Kevin. “I know,” he said, tears gleaming in his eyes. Jenny wanted to call the doctor right away and go see him, but the Lord told her to wait for her next appointment. Ten days later, wearing both her braces, Jenny waited as the surgeon studied two X-rays. The one on the left had been taken at her last visit. The one on the right had just been taken. “What do you see?” she asked. “You’ve got a new vertebra,” the surgeon said. “It’s like a baby. It needs to mature.” “I know,” Jenny said. “You really are a miracle.” Jenny only worked with physical therapy three times. “There’s nothing we can do for you,” they said. “You already have full range of motion. Normally that takes 12 to 18 months.” Jenny celebrated by running 10 miles—and hasn’t stopped since. * * * * * article concludes on p.21 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Join us in teaching believers how to use their faith.
