A two word sermon! i Believe
Expressing our faith in God in the most unique way.
Matthew 17:20 ...
if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
A miracle in flight:
Many years ago on a flight coming back into Tulsa, OK, where I was living at the time. I remember the plane shaking violently as we circled the airport 4 times due to tornadoes in the area. The look on everyone's face was of terror. Setting back in my seat I prayed father in the name of your son Jesus ..... I had ask for the storm to cease and a calm to take over this plane; as soon as I said AMEN the plane took one last hard jolt and shake before coming to a complete calm. The pilots voice came over the intercom announcing we were cleared for landing. The smoothest landing I have ever been on. I will never forget that experience and the peace God gave me during this flight. Believe Him when you pray, ask and believe. He really does care about the most minuet details of our lives. What a joy to know that we do not need to fear as Christians; God is able and willing!

God furnished a motor home:
In 2015 we received the call to take our ministry on the road. We had struggled with a failing economy since 2008 and watch our business of 28 years slip away. With it went our retirement, our home and our ability to earn the income we had become accustomed to. We had a 1995 truck which we had bought new in 1995 and God said advertise it on craigslist to trade for a road worthy motor home for the ministry. Many laughed at the advertisement, but I kept the ad running. We even had an auction thinking maybe this is how the Lord is going to furnish a motor home! That auction that "I" put together was a total flop. What should have brought 25 to 30 thousand only brought 4 thousand. We expected 200 to 400 people but 20 to 30 showed up. I remember praying God I know you are sending us on the road; Do you want us to sleep in a tent? ( We were retirement age ). Talk about feeling like Job! Exactly one week, ( 7 days ) after the failed auction, my brother called and pointed out a motor home listed on craigslist. I called and shared our truck listing with him and to make a long story short He and his wife had been praying that God would direct them to the ministry He would have them sell (Trade) their motor home too. They had listed the motor home 2 hours before I called. We met a few days later and made the agreement. But more importantly we gained 2 very important people in our lives who we know pray for us daily. If we are ministering anywhere within 200 miles of them they are most likely going to be there to support our ministry. They continue to sow into our ministry. When God puts something together He does it right! The motor home has been on several ministry road trips and has been an absolute blessing. God continues to take care of our every need. I recently wrote a new song entitled "I STAY AMAZED".

God heals a deaf ear after a lifetime of deafness.
Sept 9th 2018 Sunday morning Denise & I ministered at a small church in Florida through song, testimony and Gods word, 4 people ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord of their lives. (The greatest miracle of all). Sunday night Mark Smith accompanied me in a joint concert. There were times of laughter, tears and worship;
The next morning the pastors wife (Darla) text me with a powerful testimony. A lady (long time member of that church) who had been deaf in one ear all her life received a complete healing as she entered into worship during the Sunday night concert. As she stated "My ear just popped open" . God has Not Changed ! Only Believe !

August 2015 God spoke to me concerning a fellow minister in a State far away. A minister who I didn't really know very well at the time. The holy spirit had told me to tell her that HE was going to heal her. I was informed as to the date and told to write it down, but not to give it to her until that day. (I had never had anything like this happen before). After much conviction I finally reached out to Gail Cogburn through a text message. I told her what the Holy Spirit had spoke to me about her. She was scheduled to join many other singers at the ICCAN convention in New Iberia, LA on Oct 2nd, 2015. Oct 1st we received information that she was on her way to the hospital and would not be able to join us in New Iberia, to which I said "She will be here". The next morning at breakfast Jan Harbuck told me that Gail Cogburn was on her way, (About a 8 hour drive). When she arrived (OCT 2ND) I met her and handed her a paper with the date written on it some 30 plus days earlier. No one except the Lord knew about this date and it was written down and hidden away in my wallet. The note simply read "I will heal Gail Cogburn on Oct 2nd". That afternoon during a concert Gail stepped to the microphone to sing and God healed her as the crowd looked on. She shared her testimony during the healing process and brought the crowd to their feet. God has not changed, He is still healing people today! Here is a link to Gail's testimony. https://youtu.be/kAj8c0TSKBo
