"And these signs shall follow
them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hand on the sick, and
they shall recover." Mark
16:17-18
Signs, miracles, and
wonders
One night as I was in the Spirit, the Lord
declared some things to me, but this particular
thing was that He was going to sow into me. As
my hand was placed into my pocket book,
moving continually out and in, I heard Him say,
"Business". Well through the prayers and
constant push from the pastor and overseers
of the church,  the Lord has opened up a door
for business opportunities will a well known
and respected  man in the corporate world.  -
Prophetess Jackson
The power of God moved through the
church one Sunday as it always does,
but this day was strange although not
extraordinary because the Lord said
that He dwells there with us in
deliverance. The youth were praising
the Lord like never before and  
people who had never been touched
before were indeed touched. We had
a lot of children and young adults in
the midst visiting  and while the
praise was going forth, there were 2
young ladies who gave their life to
the Lord. One in the middle of praise
and testimony service and the other
was just waiting for altar call. He  said
forbid them not for such is the
kingdom of heaven...he also called
them young because they are strong.
Minister A was praising God on the
keyboard like usual when the Spirit moved
him away from his instrument and onto the
middle of the floor. He danced before the
Lord like David for he had just been told the
day before while visiting his cousins that he
should play for money. His response was
that he loved playing for God more than
playing for money. The Spirit of God rested
upon him and when he returned to his seat,
he played the keyboard with fingers like
lightening. The very next day while in
school, he was called to the multi-purpose
room where he was introduced to a music
producer who gives him free music lessons
everyday and has offered him an
opportunity to appear on the Bobby Jones
Gospel Show in New Orleans. Of course the
church will rent vans to follow our aspiring
and anointed musician. Seek God first,
everything else will follow.
A sister had been battling
insomnia for months. She tried
every medication the doctors
offered to no avail. She shared
her concerns with the prophets
and she was told to praise her way
to a breakthrough. She was told
that spirits of insomnia did not
have to be cast out if she would
break forth into praise. She did
just that. The sister shouted all
over the church and gave God an
upright praise. The spirits of
insomnia released her and she
has been at rest ever since.
Sis. D was asked to come up for prayer one
Sunday morning during altar call.
Prophetess was asked to pray and began
to intercede on her behalf. She prayed the
blood covering of Jesus over her life and
summoned angelic protection. Later that
night, after leaving the mall with her friends,
she noticed a car swerving out of control
and heading in her direction.
The young lady in the car was laughing as
she road by them and the car became more
out of control. The traffic light turned red,
yet the car remained out of control and
spun all the way around. The young lady's
car was facing Sis. D's car so she started to
turn the car but instead called on the name
of Jesus.  She felt the car shake and saw
the headlights coming toward her, she
closed her eyes and she and her friends
began screaming. Suddenly the car that
was out of control turned away from them
barely missing them by 1/4 of an inch. The
police were called to the scene and
commented on the fact that their could have
been multiple fatalities tonight, but God.
Sis. C went to Harvard University
in Boston, Massachusetts for a
debate competition. She
discovered that one of her
roommates had a sexual immoral
spirit. Sis. C thought back to the
Word and the teaching about
demonic spirits and how they
could transfer so she reached for
her bottle of anointed oil out and
anointed the hotel room . She
prayed as the Lord led her over to
the door with her eyes closed. She
opened the door and began to
rebuke the unclean spirit and drive
it out of the room. Later she was
told that when she opened the
door while praying, the possessed
young lady was standing there
immobile. Another Christian young
lady said that she had never felt
the presence of the Lord so strong
before. This is why we train our
children in the right way that they
will not depart even, when they are
away from home.

Much later, still in Boston, a young
lady suddenly became very ill. Sis.
C and her Christian companion
anointed the sick with oil, prayed
the prayer of faith and the young
lady received her healing within an
hour. An unbeliever, she began to
praise the Lord.
Being a cheerful giver at  all times,  the end
of last year hasn't been great financially, but
whatever I could sow into the ministry I
would. Before I leave the house, I always
pray but this day I began to pray the Jabez
prayer. I asked  the Lord to bless me that I
may bless others and enlarge my territories.
I went to file taxes and left the building was
happy. The tax preparer called back and
asked me to come back to the office. I
looked up to the heavens and said,
"LORD!!!!!!" The agent said that he felt funny
about the return and went into take  at my
information. He discovered an additional  
$1000.00! Ask and it shall be given, seek
and ye shall find, knock and the door shall
be open to you. Look at the window in
Heaven literally opening!  (I receive it in
Jesus name) - Prophetess Jackson
Bro. TJ  is a young man that has
had lots of things going on in his
life. There has also been a war
taking place spiritually for his
soul. One Sunday,  the Apostle
called this young man up to sing
during worship service and the
stronger saints in the church
could literally see the shackles fall
of this brother as he began to sing
this warfare song. To our
amazement this young man has
not been the same from that day
forward. To God be the glory for
the things He has done and will
continue to do in Jesus name..
And they went forth, and preached every
where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following.
Amen. Mark 16:20
Prophetesss Lindsey recently had
a doctor visit where they found an
abnormal growth in her right leg.
After a series of testing, Body
Scan, X-ray, and MRI, a tumor was
confirmed. The doctors told her
she needed to be seen by Cancer
Specialists at CMC to begin
treatment. She preached one
Sunday morning and decreed
God's Will in her life. After her
message, Apostle Hamilton and
Apostle Lindsey laid hands on her
and coated her in anointing oil
rebuking sickness and disease. A
week later, she reported to CMC to
begin medicinal treatment, and
was informed by the Specialist that
the growth in her leg was
non-cancerous and was simply the
result of cartillage left over from
when she was a baby which never
fully developed into bone mass.
She was dismissed from the
hospital praising and glorifying
God for His miraculous acts.
Sis. R had been battling cigarette
smoking for dozens of years. She had
also been struggling with her salvation.
She took sick for almost 2 months
straight and the church continued to lift
her up in prayer. She was rushed to the
hospital on several occasions and
nearly suffered a nervous breakdown.
The saints kept praying and speaking
faith over her life. One Sunday, she
pressed her way to church desiring the
laying on of hands. During worship
service, Prophetess Lindsey called her
to the front and laid hands on her,
loosing supernatural healing, physically
and spiritually. She was filled with the
Holy Spirit  immediately and God broke
the nicotine addiction. Today she is a
faithful member of the adult gospel choir,
singing praises to her King!
Bro. J's mother was diagnosed
with lung cancer. He invited
Apostle & Prophetess to their
home on her birthday to
encourage  and comfort her.
Apostle & Prophetess
purchased a brand new leather
Bible to present for her birthday
and she informed them that she
had never owned a Bible. After
their visit, Prophetess laid
hands and prayed for her. A
week later she was admitted to
the hospital for the surgical
procedure to remove her lung.
Apostle, Prophetess &
Deaconess visited her before
the operation took place to
place a hedge of protection
around her. While they were
there, all three of them received
revelation that the surgery was
unnecessary and began to pray
against it. The next morning, as
Ms. J and her family prepared
for the surgery, the doctor
walked in and told them the
operation had been canceled
because it was considered
unnecessary.
Bro. T strolled into service one Wednesday
needing prayer and a ride to the hospital.
Apostle Lindsey took the time to pray and
counsel with him. He revealed that he was
having marital issues which were causing
tremendous stress. After prayer, his wife,
who was Jehovah's Witness, called the
Apostle for a ride to service. That morning,
deliverance took place, many demons were
cast out and that sister has been a faithful
member ever since. Her husband has also
been attending and now their marriage is  
strengthened because they have prayer
covering.
Sis. T had been battling lung
cancer for 2 years until visiting
TLC. Even after the removal of one
lung, the cancer reappeared. The
leaders laid hands on her, rebuked
death and spoke life into her. They
carefully observed all her
subsequent doctor visits and
continued to encourage her in the
Word. She was recently informed
by her doctors that her cancer is in
remission and although they told
her she would not live to see
Christmas of 2007, she is alive and
well today, praising the Lord for
her healing.
A sister's grandmother passed away
unexpectedly and circumstances would
not permit her to attend the funeral. The
church prayed about the matter and  
within a few days, she was blessed with
a round trip ticket to attend the funeral.
She called Prophetess and told her the
good news, Prophetess spoke into her
life the Divine will of God in this situation.
She told her to get ready because God
was going to use her to change lives.
When the sister arrived for her
grandmother's funeral, it was told to her
that no minister had been able to preach
the service. The sister thought back to
the Word delivered to her and she
ministered at her grandmother's funeral.
Closing her message, she extended an
invitation to discipleship. 10 souls were
added to the Kingdom of God through
her ministering the Word of God at a
funeral.
At a youth conference,
Prophetess led the
congregational prayer. She
ministered to the young people
about the importance of
receiving salvation at an early
age. One young lady, whom she
had known for years, was a
visitor that night and she came
to the altar. She pressed pass
all the people there with tears in
her eyes wanting to restore her
relationship with the Lord. She
was prayed for and afterwards
her mother said, she could
never get her daughter to go up
for prayer and was surprised
when she did so. The  young
lady testified the next day on
the things the Lord had done
for her.
Apostle Lindsey was teaching on the
fundamentals of prayer at the corporate
prayer night when he asked two men in the
back to come up for prayer. These men
were from out of town and they had never
laid eyes on each other until that time. The
Lord used Apostle Lindsey to minister
prophetically to these brothers and they
both received prayer. One brother, in
particular, in his 50's had never
experienced the power of God like that
before and stood there crying like a
newborn baby.  It was amazing that he had
never felt the presence of God in his life
until that night.
A young lady was apart of a praise
dance group and as she was
dancing, she began crying out to
the Lord. Apostle Lindsey was the
guest speaker that night.
Prophetesses Lindsey and
Jackson discerned the young lady
needed a breakthrough to praise
God more fervently. Once
receiving permission from the
child's mother, the prophets began
tarrying with her. They called out
unclean spirits and the Lord
cleansed and filled her with the
Holy Spirit. She was in a spiritually
drunken state for most of that
night The young lady's mother
later informed them that her
daughter had been seeking for a
spiritual breakthrough for some
time and the Lord granted her
request through the moving of His
Spirit.
Pastor Jackson was preaching the
gospel one Sunday morning when the
Lord deposited supernatural wisdom
and knowledge into his spirit. He began
to preach the fresh manna from Heaven
because he never used his notes. A
minister was present who was frustrated
in his ministry and was facing
tremendous hindrances. Apostle called
for prayer, the minister came forth and
Apostle prophesied to him concerning
his ministry. The Lord touched him
during prayer and he was restored in the
faith. Following, Pastor Jackson
received a Word from the Lord regarding
a certain situation the minister was
dealing with that no one else knew
about. The minister rejoiced that the
Lord showed intimate concern regarding
his ministry and he eagerly accepted all
the Lord had spoken through His
servants. After dining with the saints, the
minister went home bursting at the
seams with the joy of the Lord.
A sister was encountering
severe financial difficulties.
After careful prayer and
consideration, she realized she
neglected to the support the
House of God in her tithes. She
called the Pastor and made
arrangements to pay her tithes,
even though she was unable to
make it to service. She
immediately felt the effects of
the curse lift and has been
receiving increasing bonuses
and extra hours. Realizing the
truth in God's Word, faithfully,
every week, she calls for her
tithes to be picked up and is
enjoying the blessings of being
loved by God as a cheerful
giver.
One night during a prophetic fellowship,
deliverance started taking place and
demons were being cast out. Apostle
Hamilton was led to a minister who had
been struggling in his ministry. She began
to operate in the Word of Knowledge and
revealed things that even his wife did not
know he was struggling with. She cast
those tormenting spirits out of him and as
they were leaving, he could hear them
screaming and wailing. Since that night, the
minister has been receiving sharper visions
and dreams, walking in his calling and filled
with unspeakable joy.
A sister, who is a faithful tither,
encountered financial difficulties.
Her vehicle needed repair and she
had very limited funds to shop for
her children's Christmas. Believing
the Lord for a miracle, she received
a letter from a relative which
contained $250. A co-worker
blessed her with a gift card to
Toys-R-Us and she found a
beautiful Christmas tree at a local
department store for only $20. The
Lord made a way for her to repair
her vehicle and purchase toys and
gifts for her children. She is a
testament to never seeing the
righteous forsaken nor her seed
begging bread.
One  night after Bible Study as the A/V
equipment was being put away,
Prophetess Lindsey was led to walk
toward the altar. She saw a vision of a
funeral taking place with flowers all
around. She immediately lifted her voice
and rebuked death and put him under
her feet. Just returning home minutes
later, Apostle & Prophetess received a
phone call that a young brother passed
out and in doing so, struck his head on a
solid object. He was discovered by
medics unconscious and not breathing.
He was rushed to the emergency room
when the frantic call was made. Apostle,
Prophetess, and Deaconess grabbed
each other's hands and began to pray
immediately. Apostle sent up prayer and
supplication in the Spirit and their faith
sealed the urgent request.
Within an hour, Apostle received another
telephone call from the hospital
informing him that the brother had
recovered. Although, he was still weak
and dazed, the brother was able to
speak to Apostle very briefly, to let him
know he was okay.  God gets all the
glory for proving to us that He still
answers prayer.
A sister, who is a faithful tither,
was seeking the Lord for
affordable housing. Having a
small child, she wanted a house
with a big yard for her child to
play in. Not having any money
nor much furniture, by faith, she
searched for and found a
beautiful 2 bedroom home in a
quiet neighborhood. She
brought the rental application
and laid it at the Apostle and
Prophetess feet so they could
pray over it. Prophetess led the
prayer and she decreed not
only the house for the sister,
but she spoke every piece of
furniture into existence. Within
a week, the favor of God went
into full effect on the sister's
behalf. Not only was she
approved for the house, the
landlords agreed to wait for an
appointed time for the deposit,
even though others were
actively inquiring about the
home. Beyond that, a few days
later, Apostle received a phone
call from another sister who
was refurnishing her entire
home and wanted to bless
someone in need. So now the
sister has a beautiful 2 bedroom
home, a big yard, unusually
affordable rent, and a house full
of furniture. She actually ended
up with more than enough
furniture. God is good all the
time.
A sister was facing the foreclosure on her
home. She brought the concerns to the
altar requesting prayer and deliverance.
The leaders prayed earnestly because this
sister is a generous and liberal giver to the
Kingdom of God so they rebuked the
devourer from her home and her finances.
The members touched and agreed with her
for God to make a way for the sister to keep
her home and make it more affordable.
Although being threatened by harassing bill
collectors, the sister kept the faith that God
would deliver her from the fowler. After a
few months, the sister was contacted by
her mortgage company that they did not
want her home and offered her a
restructuring package. They restructured
her mortgage, reducing it by nearly $400
and eliminated the arrears she owed. With
the money saved, the sister purchased a
truck to start her own business. Jesus is
the Way-maker!
Prophetess Lindsey was talking to
the Lord on her way to a dental
appointment. The past weekend,
she took her Christmas tree down
because her children were
misbehaving and she didn't give it
a second thought. The Lord told
her to put the tree back up. She
questioned the Lord and told Him
that she didn't have much extra
money for toys anyway, so they
would celebrate a quiet Christmas.
The Lord told her to put the tree
back up and call the toys in.
Amused, she further inquired of
the Lord. He told her to open her
door and say, "Toys come in". He
also told her to speak to her
mailbox and say, "Money Come".
Stunned, she obediently complied
and put up the tree with the
children, opened the door to call in
the toys and spoke to the mailbox.
That night, she received a call by
someone asking her if she needed
money. She said, Yes! The caller
said I just put the check in the mail.
The following day, another caller
said, "Do you need toys for your
children?". She said yes. The
caller gave her the address to pick
up the toys. Another caller said, I
have something for you to come
pick up and gave her the address.
Another said, I have money for the
children's Christmas. Later, a
friend dropped off 'lavish' gifts for
her entire family. Another caller
wanted to know what gifts to ship  
the children for Christmas. If you
could see Prophetess'  living
room, you would see her little tree
now surrounded and almost
covered by presents. God has
ways that are past finding out.
A sister received her paycheck and
realized her hours came up short. She
had financial obligations which needed
to be met and was uncertain how she
was going to meet them. She gave the
Lord a tithe on what she earned anyway
and trusted Him to make the way. Two
days later, she received an unexpected
Christmas bonus check in the mail. The
same day, her business, which had been
on the decline, received a phone call
from a customer needing immediate
services for the holidays. She was paid 3
times the amount of her tithe and was
able to hire 2 additional people to work
along with her. Faithful is our God.
A sister was growing low in
grocery, so one day while  Min.
AJ was visiting, she asked him
to pray that God would bless
her with grocery. The young
minister walked into her kitchen
and opened her refrigerator
doors and said, "grocery come
forth." Within a few hours, a
visitor appeared at her home
carrying 6 bags filled with
grocery! We will never see the
righteous forsaken, nor their
seed beg for bread.
Apostle Lindsey noticed his vehicle was
stalling and pulling off with hesitance. After
driving it a short distance, the vehicle
started jerking, making driving  a very
uncomfortable experience. He called a
mechanic who informed him that the
charges for the problem the vehicle was
experiencing would cost upwards of $1500.
Realizing that God does not add sorrow to
His blessings, Apostle and Prophetess
began praying for wisdom and guidance in
this matter. Two days later, Apostle & Min.
Jamie went under the hood of the vehicle
and found the problem. Instead of kicking
out $1500, the cost to repair the vehicle only
cost them approximately $10.00, the cost of
a can of treatment and a hose!
Ms. J was hospitalized since the
week before Christmas as a result
of a surgical procedure rendering
her non-responsive. Apostle and
Prophetess were called to the
hospital to pray for her. As they
approached her room, they were
instructed to dress in sterile
gowns and gloves before they
could visit Ms. J in the Intensive
Care Unit. They hovered beside
her praying and restoring life over
her devastatingly sick body. After
their visit, the doctors scheduled
another procedure which helped
Ms. J improve somewhat. The
Lindsey's returned to the hospital
a second time to pray again,
decreeing victory and the
restoration of Ms. J's neural
responses. At this point, the
doctors informed Ms. J's family
that within 2 weeks, they would
need to make a decision with
regard to removing her from life
support. After the prayer of faith,
Ms. J began responding and
improving drastically. The very
next day, her family was informed
that she was being removed from
ICU and processed to a regular
hospital room for monitoring. Her
family is rejoicing and God is
receiving glory and praise for this
tremendous breakthrough in
healing.
A sister came to the altar Sunday
morning for prayer about a court
appearance. Apostle Lindsey prayed
that the sister would receive favor from
the judge, that God would reveal the
truth in the matter, and the case would
be thrown out. The case brought against
her was false and lying witnesses had
aligned themselves against her. The very
next day she appeared in court and the
false witness was surprised to see her
and he left the courtroom, never
returning. When her case was called,
she explained to the judge what really
happened and the judge dismissed the
case. Thank God for Defense Attorney,
Jesus!
All praises to God for restoring a
marriage on the verge of divorce. A
marriage breaking spirit was cast out
of the home in the name of Jesus and
the home has been restored.
One Sunday morning service, as the
congregation was standing in opening prayer,
Min. Hinton saw a vision of a devil hiding in the
church.  When he saw the devil, he said, "I see
you." The devil said,"Shh, don't tell him I am
here." Before Min. Hinton could inform Apostle
Lindsey, Apostle began to lead the opening
prayer. In his prayer, he rebuked all devils in
the midst of the saints and commanded them to
leave in Jesus name. Immediately, Min. Hinton
noticed the devil run out the door and stood
outside looking at the church from the hill.
Later in that service, Min. Young felt Holy Spirit
of God descending through the rafters of the
church into the midst of the people. The
presence was so thick in the atmosphere, that
tears began to spill from her eyes. That same
service, a sister tarrying for the baptism of the
Holy Spirit  with fire was filled.
While in High Point, NC, deliverance
began taking place. Prophetess
observed a young lady being
tormented but couldn’t understand
why. Most of  the deliverance
workers around her were clueless as
well. Prophetess backed away and
began praying for revelation to the
young lady’s problem. At that point,
the Spirit revealed to her that this
woman was under strong witchcraft
influence, the Lord revealed that
someone placed a curse on her over
the phone. Armed with that
information, she approached the
young lady and revealed to her why
she had been tormented in her mind.
Prophetess spoke to the witchcraft
spirit and commanded it to go in
Jesus name, then she broke the
curse which was binding her mind.
Immediately, the young lady was
thrust to the floor as the witchcraft
spirit slithered on the floor trying to
escape. She commanded it to go in
Jesus name and the spirit left her.
The young lady lay on the floor
relieved and began to praise God for
her deliverance. She praised Him so
fervently in the spirit, that she began
to prophesy.
Praise God for a wife attending our recent prayer
breakfast held 1/24/09. Her home was divided
and although she loves the Lord, she felt she
had no where to turn to for help. Prophetess
Lindsey opened up the morning session on
Deborah. She revealed that before Deborah
could be faithful as the prophet, mother, military
commander, and judge of Israel, she had to be
faithful to her husband, Lapidoth. The discussion
went underway and so much revelation unfolded
that this wife received great spiritual strength to
return home to her husband to renew her
marriage. That afternoon following the prayer
breakfast, the woman returned to her husband,
made up for lost time, and have submitted to
marital counseling.
Prophetess Lindsey wanted the
gospel choir to have unique robes to
wear while performing, separate from
those of the young adult choir. She
began to seek the Lord for provisions
concerning the choir and He gave her
direction where to look to find them.
As He led her, she discovered 29
adult choir robes made from
Cokesbury that she really wanted for
the choir. She prayed the prayer of
faith and released her petition and
waited on God. Within a month, she
received a phone call that the
organization would not only give her
the 29 robes she had been believing
God for, but 20 children’s choir robes
and stoles in addition. She was
astonished and gave the church her
praise report. When she and Apostle
went to pick up the robes, she realized
how awesome God really is, for the
robes were not only the most
gorgeous she had ever seen, the
color of the robes matched the interior
of the sanctuary, perfectly. She
immediately called the choir director
over to see them and they all rejoiced
at the Lord’s goodness. She can
credit the Lord for providing choir
robes for the children’s choir, young
adult choir, male chorus, and the
gospel choir, nearly 200 in all, at no
cost.
A sister found out about our church from the
website and desired to come worship with us.
While preparing for service, she discovered
her purse had been stolen and her keys were
no where to be found. Refusing to allow the
enemy to steal her joy, she pressed on to
service and was tremendously blessed.
