Testimony: A student had a vision of this scripture and how it would apply to King David. In the Bible, the enemy was trying to kill the Israelites and especially the King. This student pictured the enemy as having hundreds or even thousands of their best archers all shooting at King David, yet all these arrows could not kill him as God was his shield.

(Scripture taken from the King James Version of the Holy Bible)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are my protector, my encourager, and my shield. Nothing shall harm me as long as I remain in your perfect will.

Testimony: My prayer at my job was that I would be like Daniel in the Bible who had “God’s excellence” on him. God blessed my work tremendously to the point where one year I was the top employee among seven different cities. God promoted me by blessing my work and letting me produce much for the company. Every year God blessed my work to the extend I was given free vacations in exotic resort places along with the other top performers from my firm. The top salesmen in the entire nation gave a speech at one of these trips and he said “I give all the glory to God”. This blessed me since all the non Christians heard it.

Testimony: I have seen many miracles right before my eyes. Healing miracles are awesome but salvation miracles are even greater. One day some people from our church went to a rough neighborhood in town to share Jesus and bring food to the poor. We would pray beforehand to ask God where to send us. A husky tattooed-man drinking beer came up to me on the street one day and started talking. Minutes later he started to cry, and I was able to lead him in prayer to Jesus. It was God’s power that hit him. This showed me that witnessing becomes easier the more time one spends praying in the Holy Spirit before one goes out.

Testimony: One Bible teacher gave the best definition of grace that I had ever heard. He said today’s language has narrowed that definition down to mercy or unmerited favour.

Testimony: A Bible teacher said the important word to this scripture is believing. He said when you pray, you plant your seed like a farmer. The farmer always expects the seed to grow and talks about the harvest as he knows the harvest will come.

So many want to believe after they see the answer but that requires no faith at all.
