Prayed for 2 women at the food outreach in Manitou Springs today plus broke up a screaming match between two women in line and Emil talked to each of them separately about forgiveness and the love of Jesus. Both calmed down and thanked him. Then went to Walmart and a guy walked up and said, “You gotta lot of guts to wear a shirt like that!” Asked if he needed prayer and he said yes! The Holy Spirit read his mail and afterward he said “Wow! That was freaky! Everything you prayed was right on the money!” God is so good!

Emil’s last day at work was Wednesday. We are now officially in full-time ministry again! God opened opportunities for us on Thursday and Friday.  We will have details in our newsletter next week.

Today we wore our Free Prayer shirts to a festival in Canon City, about an hour from us, and had a couple of conversations while there! It feels good to be doing what we know God called us to do.

We are still actively fundraising to raise our partner base. Please check out our Fundraising Meter page for updates on our progress.

A man called for prayer and was introducing himself when the Holy Spirit began to download to Emil about this man and in two minutes, the Lord totally read this man’s mail and he was in tears and agreeing with everything God said. Emil ministered the love of Jesus to him and he was totally set free! God is so awesome and incredible and never stops amazing us at how He ministers to people to break down the walls around their hearts to set them free!

Our July 27th newsletter had the story of Emil praying for his boss Margarita after the Lord told him that she had one leg shorter than the other and He wanted to heal her.  Emil prayed and she was healed and she was so excited she took the lift out of her shoe and took it to her chiropractor to show him what God had done! Recently one of her bosses found Emil and said he had just come from the same chiropractor who told him one leg is shorter than the other and to go back to work and find the guy who prayed for Margarita! Sure enough, his leg grew out and he took the lift out of his shoe, too! God is so cool!!!

Emil prayed for two people yesterday and both experienced healing! One who had a dental appointment for two root canals and two crowns, but when Emil prayed the Lord told him it wasn’t his teeth, it was his neck which was pushing on nerves going into his teeth. When he prayed for the neck to be aligned, all pain left! He prayed for a man whose in great pain from an old football injury to his hip and the pain immediately left! Then last evening he began a conversation with a young man and had a word from the Lord that brought him to tears and brought complete confirmation to him of some things he had been considering.  God is so awesome!

We have just uploaded two more sermons by Emil to YouTube. “The Light of Jesus” is an encouragement when the world around us looks very dark. “Roadside Stories” tells how lives were changed when God spoke to people on the roadside. Please check our Teachings and Sermons tab for the links to them.

We have added a brand-new page called “Teachings and Sermons by Emil” which has, for now, the two sermons that God impressed upon us to get out to as many people as possible in 2017. Please check out the page for the YouTube links to these two life-changing messages.

I started reading the Bible again from the beginning, Genesis chapter 1. The thing that really stuck out to me this time is that the first thing God did when He began creation of the heavens and earth is that He dispelled the darkness and He got rid of the emptiness! God is not a God who wants us to live in darkness and emptiness! Satan wants us to live life where it seems like the darkness has overwhelmed us and emptiness has become our best friend! Don’t allow Satan to take you there! Instead call on the loving God and Creator of all heaven and earth! Call His resurrection life into your life! To dispel your darkness and to bring in his light! Satan wants us to feel alone, discouraged and abandoned. But God brings life and life more abundantly! Allow God to shine the light of His face upon you and in your life! God is more than ready and willing to change every place in your life where the enemy has a foothold!

We’ve been asking and praying about what we are going to be doing here, BWB-ministry-wise.  The Lord told Karen, “Rest, relax, enjoy the journey–there’s a lot to see.” We feel that’s not just the scenery but the needs around us. And to Emil He said, “Accept, expect, expedite. Accept where you are, expect Me to do great things, and when it’s time, I will expedite it!” And Emil feels that word is not just for us but for anyone who’s willing to accept and do the things God is calling us all to do.
