After many years of just sitting on this book and not publishing it, God reminded me to get it done. I've self-published to make it free of charge. You will read it's not perfect, I'm sure it still has flaws, but just get on with it, Holly. It's what it is and away we go........

I Thank God for Saving Us. How I had thought I was saved all those years before. How the Holy Spirit drew Ray and I. Jesus has set us free! God sent these people in front of Ray and I. How they didn’t even know what God had planned! Oh my, what a Holy Ghost set up it turned out to be! My husband Ray and I met these people within a one week period, and our lives changed forever! Mary, thank you for inviting me to your church, and a wonderful friendship. Dr. Elwert for praying over me, when I came into your office after hurting my neck after riding a roller coaster. Ron Smith and Wendell Tillery they invited Ray to a Gospel singing one day at a bus sale. There are so many others. We Love you dearly for showing us the way to Jesus, God will richly bless you.

I want to be useful, not useless! I don’t want to be a stumbling block but a stepping stone for someone like you my friend! If the truth sets you free, then it must take a lie to bind you.

As I started to go through my journals and read all the things God has done and people God spoke to me about and about myself especially. My spirit brings to mind about the verse in the Bible, before Jesus ascended to Heaven that he performed so many more miracles and healings that it would take so many books to put them in. (John 21:25) Well after reading through my journals I realized that I was living daily a life of healing and miracles right before my eyes and I couldn't possibly write everything down. Just too much, God is too much like the saying, my cup runneth over!

I Know, That I Know! It’s a saying I use quite often. On this journey with me, you will see how I’ve grown. I didn’t understand how the Holy Spirit worked in my life and others around me, my mistakes and my disobedience, take another lap around the mountain kinda thing going on at times. And the wonderful moments in my life when God speaks to me and through me to others. Seeing others Saved, Healed and Set Free In Jesus name!

Learning about how God does work and yes a personal Love with Him. How else will you know Him if you don’t get close to Him? The closer I get to Him, the longer I stay with Him, the more I know Him! You will never know Him if you’re never with Him! So as I pray and I sing to Him. Yes sing to Him, I can’t hold much of a tune but I know that I know He loves to hear me sing to Him! How about Singing a New Song to Him today? It’s like honey so sweet to Him and for me as well! Here I go, there are no words to describe the Love He has for me. Just the thought of someone Loving me, Knowing me. Knowing my inner thoughts that no one else knows. How could someone so pure white and I’m so off-white with spots on my garment at times? Being close to Him changes my garments into white as snow. Such Love for Us, He has!

What holds you back from giving yourself to Him? Why is it so hard to let Him in? I thought I was in control of who I let into my life. Yeah, I was and God stayed out. Until I knew that there was something about this God I didn’t know and I wanted to find out who He was and is! It didn’t take me long to realize I was getting closer the more I let Him into my life. After realizing He knew everything about me, without me telling Him anything about myself. Like the verse, He has every hair on my head counted for and I knew you before you were in the womb. He really does know Me! And the more I read the Bible the more I read about His Faithfulness, His Love, His Grace, and Mercy. He will never say I’m only giving you one more chance then you’re out of my life forever. What perfect Love He has for each of us. The Peace of Jesus that sets me Free.

At times I feel like I’m just starting on this journey and God meets me there at those times I feel so lonely, that I’m not alone He’s always there! Guess I feel so Loved a special Love do you know that Love? If you feel away from Him, not able to touch Him ask Him to come closer to you and watch what happens. He never leaves you alone. He’s just waiting for you to open your heart up to Him. He can be a doctor to you when your heart is sick. What has taken me so long to get to this place in my life when God is the closest I have ever known? I know that the journey is not over, that I will be getting even closer to Him with each passing day. Paul said, Where would my life be without Christ? (Acts 20:24)

Before knowing Jesus, It would be like looking at myself in a mirror I would see my past everything, nothing left out of it. But with Christ, I can look in the mirror and see, well just me! No past being thrown up at me, nothing but Love. Who do you see in the mirror? Do you know Jesus not only covers all that’s in your past but puts it in the sea of forgetfulness not ever to come back again? If God says it’s never to come back, How is it that it comes back up at you at times? Remember what Jesus did, He paid the price for our sins. Don’t let anyone talk you of that, not even yourself! God is true to His word. God never lies, He never changes His mind about you. He loves you so much, He gave His Son for you, just for you! Each and every one of us in this world has that promise from Him. It’s your choice if you except it!

I don’t know about you but my life would be hopeless without God in my life. For years I lived to fix things and things sure was a mess. As you go through my journal with me, you will read the times of not understanding myself, God and people around me. I pray that you will see my mistakes and learn from them. This journey is my personal experiences and through these 6 years, you will read how I’ve grown, matured, Healed through the Blood of Jesus and set Free by the Hand of God and the Living Word, the Bible. May this book comfort you that you’re not alone in this world that God is with you always. My prayer for you is that if you do not know Jesus the Living Son of God, that today is your day to meet Him and that you will ask him into your life. If you do know Him that you will ask Him to come closer, that you would seek His face. If you ask you shall receive! Believe by Faith, Just ask Him!

Just that simple, how can something so simple without any effort be real just by asking, can it be real? This is how God sets things up, He’s going to make it so simple anyone can ask, how about you?

THE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH GOD, BORN AGAIN! FALL 1996

---

We were at a singing with people my husband had met at an auction. We had been going with them to their gospel singings for the past few months. This night we went to Pine Knot, Kentucky. I was so sick that day and I still pulled myself together to get on the bus and go! We made a couple of stops on the way at rest stops, thank God for rest stops! I walked into this little church and it was so beautiful, I thought to myself that they knew that the singing group was coming. They had waxed all the wood, the whole place the pews, the floors, the walls. There must have been about 2 dozen or so people show up and with the singing group and they’re families, it pretty well filled the place half full. That night I can’t remember one song that was sung. At the end of the singing, they sang the song to come up and get saved. Not knowing this was my night that the Holy Spirit would not only draw me but save me, speak to me and touch me, I thought everyone heard Him that night! We all stood for the song and as I started to stand, the fire of God came up from my seat up over my back and stopped at the top of my head, He then spoke very firmly but it was a command, IF THIS IS WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE GO TO THE FRONT NOW.I don’t even think my mind was working but my feet were going! I started and stepping on my husband's feet as I was trying to get out of the row I was in. I did think for a moment, if I had to I would jump over the pews to get there! Ray had thought I had gotten sick and was asking me as I was going where are you going? And I couldn't even speak, I didn’t have time I was going to the front! I ended on my knees before making it all the way to the altar and crawled the last few feet, and then these people that I didn’t know came swarming around me and I could hear them praying for me, praying for Me! Then God said to me look up, and I looked up and Mr. Tillery was standing right in front of me, his eyes, so big looking down at me, it caught him by surprise, I think. Then God opened my ears and He let me hear one at a time the different people praying over me. It was like a radio and tuning in and out stations. He would tune one in and then tune in another until I heard each and every one of them and what they were praying! And the show wasn’t over yet! I then felt another hand on my back and I looked and it was my husband Ray, we fell into each other's arms and cried! He got Saved too that night. I asked him later what made him come down to the front and he said, Well I just was going down there to see what you were doing there and I got Saved too! We all packed back into the bus that evening and I went to the back of the bus and crawled into one of the bunks and had the most peaceful sleep that evening. Never the same again……..I Know that I Know, I am Healed!

Question lots of Questions Spring 1997 Well it didn’t take me long to start asking questions about hearing from God feeling His presence or what was it that I was feeling on me? Not too many answers. I then knew I was different than other Christian that something had happened to me that they had not experienced. And that I was going to have to find answers elsewhere! I found the more I would talk about it the more I felt that I was really different from other Christian and it was too hot to handle for the ‘don’t make any waves’ crowd! I was coming to the understanding that just being a Christian meant we weren't one church, as the Bible talks about. I had no idea that there were so many different beliefs, in churches that believed in God! I was even told by one Baptist man, That we would like to lock new Christian up in a closet for a while until they cool down, they do more harm to the body of Christ than helping! Wow! Was I on fire for God or what! I didn’t see myself as hurting anyone in fact just the opposite. I was going around everywhere that I would normally go, but now I was talking with people and letting them know that Jesus is real. So we didn’t go to church for the first few months after being born again. Just knowing that we would be misfits in our local church. And I didn’t want anyone else telling me what I know to be true wasn’t real. Because I knew it was and it was very special. By the early spring, Mr. Tillery invited us to his Bible Study in a church in Verona, Ky. It was an hour and a half drive one way but we had found our place.

Healings Being Faithful I have seen many Healings, some instant others in hours, days, weeks and yes some longer, those are the Faith walk ones!

Here are a few that come to my memory I don’t know what is going on in peoples lives even if I think I know them personally. I’ve been surprised more than once after praying for someone or giving them a word from God that there’s more than meets the human eye! I have learned through maturing as
