Answered Prayers

While living in West Georgia in my early 40s, I spent many Sundays searching for a church in the Bible belt that offered great spiritual fellowship and an anointed preacher of God, who would teach the Bible scripturally word-by-word, not what man teaches in Bible seminaries, but to be led by the Holy Spirit. I humbly add that I know my Scripture well, since I have studied it for decades. Thus, it is hard for me to find a pastor or teacher I can sit under or frankly trust, especially when they don't teach beyond salvation, because to only teach the way of salvation, we neglect to follow God's command to spread His gospel. A church is supposed to teach believers how to teach the Word of God, and then they are to go out and do the same for new born-again believers, and to know how to "live" God's Word and be an example of light to non-believers. As Scripture states in 1 Peter 3:15, "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." Regrettably, many churches has miserably failed in assuring that God's Word is taught correctly. That stated, my search was futile. I couldn't understand why one church in a rural area of west Georgia, was never about teaching God's truth, but always about money or being "slain in the spirit." I do believe that God gives us His Holy Spirit to reside within us the second we become born again. However, I do know in order to fulfill the Lord's calling in our life, it requires much more power. If you study the book of Acts about the Pentecost, you'll understand what I mean. I believe that the power of God is a gift, an infilling of the Holy Spirit; which, and some disagree, is a "separate" infilling of the Spirit. This gift, in my opinion, is God's gift to us for wisdom, power, guidance, and fire to share the Lord's truth, being led by His Spirit, and not allowing our flesh to lead us. I believe that this is evidenced by speaking in tongues. I was afraid when I first asked the Lord for this gift, but then I felt a peace come over me that I had never experienced, and God blessed me with the gift. He gave me this gift years ago in order to be a prayer warrior, but to also have the power of Him to couragesly share the gospel of Jesus Christ, discern the spirits whether good or bad, and the freedom to pray against demonic oppresion and possession. As a result of His gift, I have absolutely no fear in doing His mission. This video is a result of my endless search for a few years to find a Church with a balanced approach to sharing God's Word. I sometimes suffer with insomnia due to a disability, or whenever my heart is extremely burdened with something I just can't put my finger on, so I pray in the Spirit. After attending the last church where I was living at the time to ascertain whether or not it was under God's anointing or under man's flesh, and was growing desperate to understand why there were no "God fearing, truthful Biblical teachers." While struggling in prayer (I couldn't sleep and it was 4:00 AM), I began to hear from God audibly. His message is in the video, An Old Woman's Prayer. I pray it message brings you peace in your search for a decent church, as well as bring a message to believers that God isn't too happy with many of us, especially the type of prayer we do to reach Him. The Lord's will always be done in His timing and in His choosing what He will provide. In the meantime, we should focus more on praising and glorifying Him for what He does for us and less on wanting money, "The love of money is the "root" of all evil." Don't you agree? Message From Judy (Fortune) Rivers: Who am I? I'm a Bible believing, gun loving, Texas born, Southern lady raised in Georgia and now living in Alabama; a passionate Patriot, who loves President Trump, the US Military and America. I refuse to be a politically correct coward. I was permanently banned from Twitter and returned when it changed ownership to X. I have lost count as to how many times I have served 30-day jail terms with Facebook. I consider being censored my badge of honor to serve my country. I agree with all freedom of speech, whether I like it or not. I don't have to listen to it, nor do I have to read it. I will never be a politically correct coward. I will expose and fight evil, and injustice, until I take my last breath. My favorite book in the Bible is the gospel of John in the New Testament, which thoroughly explains who Jesus Christ was, is and who is to come. My favorite Scripture comes from the first chapter of John, verses 1-5, and it states: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the Light of all mankind. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Glory to God! He is bringing satan's darkness into His light! As President Donald J. Trump states, "The best is yet to come." Stay vigilant Patriots and keep the faith! Be at peace. Pray for your whole armor of protection from Ephesians 6-10. The Lord always wins. God bless you and yours abundantly! ✌💖 #NCSWIS #WWG1WGA #Q #ANON https://rumble.com/user/JudySRivers If you want to do some interesting reading, check out my articles and opinions on these platforms: https://gab.com/JudyRivers https://t.me/JudyFortune7 https://x.com/TheFortuneRpt https://truthsocial.com/@JudyFortune https://judysrivers.substack.com
