Testimony! Dead man lives.

Testimony! Dead man lives.

I love Testifying to the Glory Of God.

We had a man named Herb in our church who had the nerve to die during praise and worship!

He would praise the Lord loudy one day while praising the Lord and fell dead in the service..

We had several children who were there .We didn't panic we had one of the elders to phone an ambulance..

well that took some time... so we had all the children start praying One lady in the church was a nurse and she was sure he was gone...

Finally the ambulance came and rushed in..just as they were about to place the paddles on him ( about 35 Minutes later) he sneezed and sat up. The Medic looked at me and said what kind of church is this?

I said Gods.

We thats not all ...

They tried to " stabilize " him for a long time in our front of the door and finally they took him to hospital..

Well That's not all That MEDIC?? she was the wife of the man in city hall that wanted to close us down.. ( another testimony later) .

We went on with the service and went home...

Well... 3 days later i got a call from the hospital would i come get Herb?

I went to the hospital and he was in a locked room..

He was strapped down.. when i walked into the room i said Herb why are you still here.

 The nurse said he's been a handful can't sedate him cant calm him down.. so we strapped him down.

 I said loose this man.

   They did and his eyes popped open and he was calm.

 Pastor Theresa you wont believe it! I died and went to hell and came back up and went to the grave of my late wife I went to the grave and repented of my drinking and abuse I did that for a long time .I was there just shaking and sobbing I told her i was now saved and would meet her in heaven...

Well now your here... and why am i here? I told him about what happened in church he just did that toothless grin...

The nurse looked at me and said who are you.. I said nobody...

I called someone from church. He can and picked old Herb and took him home..

He was back at church sunday the incident happened on wednesday... and started to praise the Lord again He has since gone home to Jesus but the testimony is worth telling.

O ya.. the Children were never afraid because we had them pray.

So that's the testimony for this week.

God bless

TORNADO TESTIMONY

I was babysitting several kids when the tornado sirens went off all the children went down into the basement, and I told my son to sit on the step of the basement.

He said where are you going? I said I’m going out to deal with the storm.

He said mom you can’t do that. There’s a tornado coming.

I said I’m not gonna see the cornfield destroyed one more time.

I walked outside and I saw that tornado coming from the north I rebuked that tornado and sent it back where it came from.

That tornado came back at me again … I said oh no, you don’t you go back where you came from in the name of Jesus!

Well, that tornado came back third time this time it was big and I said get out of here and get off my land and do not destroy this crop one more time in the ame of JESUS !!

the tornado seemed to jump over the top of our farm.

I went down to the basement and got the kids out said come on out it’s time to play.

Later that night, I found out that tornado had hit a town and there was a lot of damage.

On Sunday, I went to church to give the testimony of wrestling with that tornado, but before I could …

There was a lady in the church that stood up and said I have to give a testimony…

Well, she did. She said there was a tornado coming from the west and she kept sending it south and that the tornado kept coming back to her and after the2 d time that it came back she sent it back and she said you go do what you have to do, but you’re not touching my property!

I started to laugh, and my son just looked at me with his eyes, huge and wide open .

I opened my mouth and said I have a testimony there was a tornado coming from the north but after the second time, I commanded it not to touch my farm and it jumped over my farm .

I had no idea how big and how outrageous that tornado was until we saw the damage It had created

But I have to tell you if that had hit my town. It would’ve wiped out my entire town.

I have to give God all the praise and all the glory for giving me the strength to stand up and fight something to protect what was right .

Without the corn we couldn’t feed the livestock without the corn we couldn’t eat.

Had that tornado hit where it was intended to hit my entire city would’ve been wiped out.

Sometimes my friends, you just have to stand up and not be afraid and remember the scripture

Fear not little flock for I am with you !

Jesus spoke to the storm we can too

There are storms in our life, and there are actual storms that come against us. I am extremely grateful that I have the word of God written on the tablet of my heart and that a scripture can come alive.

If only we would be brave!

You have the power .

God bless

Philippians 4:13 encourages, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me,

Testimony of being Translated

Testimony

When my son was a little boy, a friend of mine and her son and her newborn baby were in the truck with me and we had been shopping,

on our way back as we were heading toward an intersection all of a sudden I felt myself starting to pray in tongues. My friend said oh I think I better enter that and she started praying in tongues

my son in the backseat, and his little friend said, in the name of Jesus mommy

as that happened and I made the turn teo semi trucks were coming toward us and they were drag racing and there was nowhere to go off the road.

We started praying, harder and harder in tongues, and before we knew it, we saw smoke and the two semis were slamming on their brakes, and we were on the other side of them.

Somehow, we were translated between those two vehicles.

I’m sharing this with you because when you pray in the spirit, the spirit does so many miracles never give up praying in the holy spirit he’s your friend. !

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.

BackThe #1 Drink to Help You Lose Visceral Fat, Recommended by Dietitians

Sarah Garone, D.T.R www.eatingwell.com

Jun 7, 2025

It’s probably already part of your daily routine! Visceral fat is found in your abdominal cavity and surrounds vital organs like your stomach.

Visceral fat is found in your abdominal cavity and surrounds vital organs like your stomach.

• Excessive visceral fat increases your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease. Research has shown that coffee can help reduce visceral fat.

Body fat serves all sorts of valuable functions in your body, from storing certain vitamins to keeping you warm. But there’s one type of body fat that’s not-so-friendly for your health: visceral fat. Inside your abdominal cavity, this form of adipose tissue (fat tissue) surrounds critical organs, such as your stomach, liver and intestines. Fortunately, there’s one drink that can help you reduce visceral fat. Java lovers, rejoice! It’s coffee.

Research has linked drinking coffee to reductions in body fat. For instance, a 2025 study of over 45,000 people found that those who drank coffee (an average of 1.7 cups per day) had significantly lower visceral fat than non-coffee drinkers.1 

Though it’s important to have a small amount of visceral fat for cushioning your organs, too much of it raises the risk of cardiovascular disease.2 So, if you’re a regular coffee drinker, you can keep up the good work (in moderation). Or, if you don’t usually enjoy a morning brew, here’s why you may want to start if you’re trying to lose visceral fat.

5 Reasons Why Coffee Can Help You Live Longer, According to Science

Why Coffee Can Help Reduce Visceral Fat

So what is it about a daily cuppa coffee or two that might help with visceral fat? According to registered dietitian Megan Byrd, RD, several factors may be at play.

Caffeine May Support Your Metabolism

Coffee’s famous energy-boosting caffeine content could be one of its keys to decreasing visceral fat. Byrd says experts have long believed that caffeine’s ability to increase your metabolism is the primary reason coffee may promote weight loss. However, she points out that a recent study did not find the same effect from green tea, which also contains caffeine.3

“Coffee usually has more caffeine per ounce [than green tea], which can increase resting metabolic rate further.” In fact, some studies have established that coffee may raise metabolism by between 5% and 20% for at least three hours after consumption.4

Coffee Provides Antioxidants

Coffee gets lots of good press for its high content of antioxidants. Each cup contains anywhere from 200 to 550 milligrams of these beneficial plant compounds, more than green tea or red wine.5 Antioxidants help protect your body against cell damage.6 Additionally, including plenty of antioxidants in your diet is another way to potentially reduce visceral fat. A 2024 study showed that eating more antioxidants may be associated with less visceral adipose tissue.7

Specifically, says Beth Conlon, Ph.D., RDN, chlorogenic acids and cafestol, both found in coffee, are two antioxidants that may help lose visceral fat. “Studies have shown that chlorogenic acids can decrease abdominal fat, body weight and waist circumference,” she says.8 Cafestol, meanwhile, has been linked to reductions in body weight and visceral fat volume.9 “It’s thought that these compounds can influence metabolism and fat breakdown, offering a potential mechanism behind coffee’s effects on visceral fat.”

Coffee May Reduce Appetite

 Another potential benefit of caffeine for visceral fat is reducing your hunger levels. “The caffeine in coffee can stimulate the nervous system and potentially reduce appetite,” says Conlon. In this way, coffee could contribute to lower calorie intake, indirectly reducing abdominal fat over time.

On the other hand, some research has yielded conflicting results about whether (and when) caffeine may suppress appetite, suggesting that the timing of coffee consumption may affect its impact on hunger. According to an older study, drinking coffee after a meal, rather than before, was more effective in reducing hunger.10

Conlon notes, too, that coffee’s appetite reduction doesn’t mean you should replace meals with java alone. “Coffee itself is not a meal! It’s important to consume adequate nutrition and balanced meals throughout the day for good nutrition and health,” she says.

How to Enjoy Coffee for Visceral Fat Loss

Not every coffee beverage is a surefire way to lose visceral fat—what you put into your drink matters. “If you’re adding a lot of fats and sugars to your coffee, health benefits may not be as prevalent as just drinking your coffee black,” Byrd says. For most people, black coffee is an acquired taste, but Conlon says it offers the opportunity to explore different types of beans and roasting styles. 

Then again, if you can’t get past black coffee’s astringent taste, there are plenty of other healthy options. Adding a splash of milk or milk alternatives like oat or almond can lend some sweetness to your coffee without tons of added sugar. “Also, being mindful of timing is important; enjoy your coffee earlier in the day so it doesn’t interfere with sleep,” Conlon says.
