…I suppose, there's something happened that always just reminded me of how--how--how God, with the sense of humor He has, and how simple He can make Himself to reveal Himself to the people.
Conscience
"Why, it don't condemn me to cut my hair," a woman said. "Don't hurt my conscience." She's got no more conscience than a snake has got hips.

Prayer Cloth
Two days ago, my six-year-old was complaining of severe tummy ache, and could not sleep, so my wife and I were trying to figure out what could have caused the tummy ache. We came to the conclusion that it was some mangoes that he had eaten that day.
So I told him to go ask mummy to pin the prayer cloth on him, and we prayed for him. After which, he came to lay on the sofa, and was asking me “Dad how do you know that the prayer cloth will heal me?”
So I told him, “Brother Branham had said so.” He told me that Brother Branham is very smart, because He reads a lot and Jesus speaks to Him.
Later that night before he went to bed, he told his mom, that he was never going to eat mangoes again.
The next morning when he woke up, I asked him how he was feeling and he replied “good,” so I ask him how? He said, “Jesus healed me.”
After returning from school later that day, he saw some mangoes in the kitchen, and he ask his mom, “Could I have mangoes?” She replied, “I thought you said you were not going to eat any more mangoes?”
He replied, “I could always use the prayer cloth.”

Many thanks for the prayer cloth that was mailed to me. We had a prayer meeting this night with my family. The Prayer cloth was laid upon the hearts my sons Joseph (16), White Eagle Joshua (14), John Bezaleel (11) Billy Paul (8), Holy Rapture Convocation (8 months) and my daughter Rejoice Hephzibah Ngori (4 years). My son Golden Capstone (6) was asleep during the prayer meeting. My daughter Sharon Rose is in a boarding school. I hope to lay the prayer cloth on Capstone tomorrow and on Sharon when she comes for holiday.

Answered Prayer
I dropped a favorite black skirt off at the cleaners. I'd spent more for it than I should, but it was such a lovely skirt and new it would last a long time. I returned to the cleaners the next day to pick up my skirt. The lady looked and looked and could not find it. I was very down-hearted. The clerk asked me to come back the next day. I went the next day, and still my skirt could not be found. I continued going back every three or four days. I know the manager hated to see me coming. She explained that they had probably mixed it in with another customer's cleaning and we may or may not ever see it again. After several weeks, the cleaners reimbursed me for the skirt. I not only loved the skirt, it held a sentimental value. I'd worn it to my husband's funeral who had been killed in a tragic accident. I prayed a simple prayer, "Lord, please let an honest person return my skirt to the cleaners." EIGHTEEN months went by. One morning my phone rang. A man on the line said, "Ma'am, I think I have your black skirt." I said, "What are you talking about?" Then the light bulb went off. He said he'd picked up some clothes at the cleaners “quite some time ago” and just stuck them in the closet. He said his wife had just pulled out the skirt and said, "Where on earth did you get this? This doesn't fit me. It's not my skirt." They started looking and found the little yellow receipt attached with my first initial, last name, and phone number. I started crying and told the gentleman he had no idea what this phone call meant to me. We agreed to meet in 10 minutes at the local grocery store. After retrieving the skirt, I immediately drove across the street to the cleaners and ran in and told the manager about it. I offered to repay the money they'd given me. She declined and said, "No, we put you through enough - you keep your money." God certainly cares about the little things.

Glory be to God! I remember I read about a similar testimony, and I placed my prayer request of a missing camera. To God be the Glory! I found my camera in the refrigerator.

How To Get There
Directions to our Father’s House
Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd.
Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ.
There, you must turn onto the Bridge of Faith, which is over troubled water.
When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep Straight.
You are on the King's Highway - Heaven-bound.
Then exit off onto Grace Blvd.
From there, make a Right turn on Gospel Lane.
Keep Straight and then make another Right on Prayer Road.
As you go on your way,
Yield Not to the traffic on Temptation Ave.
Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END.
Pass up Envy Drive, and Hate Avenue.
Also, pass Hypocrisy Street, Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Blvd.
However, you have to go down Long-suffering Lane, Persecution Blvd, and Trials and Tribulations Ave.
But that's all right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead!
A Sign
I had three hours of driving to do on my way to church, so I chose to play the tape “Thirst.” Then I had some spare time before church so I decided to go to the McDonalds. Before going in, I was praying in my heart for the Lord to confirm to me I was in is perfect will. Then I started eating my lunch. While eating, I closed my eyes and I was thinking back on everything brother Branham was saying on the tape “Thirst.” Then I grabbed my drink. With my eyes still closed, I lifted my drink at the same level of my eyes. Then when I opened my eyes, two inches away, I could read in big letters, “In Thirst Position.” My! I started praising the Lord for His simplicity! I knew right then I was in Thirst Position to have a good blessing!

I want to share a funny little story that happened many years ago in Mexico. We went to a Mexican restaurant, and as soon as we sat down, a waiter came and gave us a big smile and mumbled something so fast we didn't understand what he said. Along with his great big smile, he left us two little dessert dishes of flan (a Mexican custard desert). When he left with a smile, I said to my husband, “Well, wasn't that nice for him to give us these free courtesy desserts!”
After lunch as we proceeded to pay, we noticed the bill was slightly higher than expected. I then asked the waiter, “What did you say to us when you first came to our table?” He answered (in Spanish) with his big smile, “Whatever's not consumed is not charged for.” (SMILE) It also reminded me of something.
I think that a lot of people go into churches and see the smiling pastor, and are more impressed with that man's personality (and smile) than with what is being presented to them, as far as eating Spiritual food.
Something one doesn't think they've ordered at the time, but when something is presented, accepted, and consumed, it must be eventually paid for!
And if we eat just anything put before us without knowing all the true facts regarding it, just because it's placed before us with a distracting smile... well, you know what they say...
You are what you eat!

Concerning the article The Wild Stare posted Jan 16, 2012.
We enjoyed the cow that ate the Spoken Word book testimony. Was wondering if that works with teenagers?
