Testimonies

I cannot begin to thank you for you response, and prompt at that. When I heard brother Hall it was October 8, 2019. I thank you so for checking the date which seem to have been last year October.I like listening to your prayer line when I get the opportunity because it is a blessing for me.

It’s interesting that Brother Hall spoke on feelings because it has recently become a pet peeve for me. I have truly come to realize why the good Lord said: ” Come let us reason together.” Therefore,I will say to people, the good Lord say come let us reason together let not us feel together. Well that feeling business has just caused a conflict between a co-worker – we are suppose to be best friends- and she is hurt by me because I went out with someone that she’s not speaking with. She Stated: I don’t feel you have my back. I responded with, but that is not true, it’s not factual. she stared: but that’s how I feel. I tried to reason with her, she became emotional & hang the phone.I know that the good Lord allows things for a reason. I just want Him to be glorified in this situation. Please pray for me about this situation, but also please keep me on your prayer list to be faithful to our Lord no matter what. This is my deepest desire.

I have just come to learn about SWM radio about a year ago and I tell as many SDA about it as I can It has been a great blessing to me including your ministry.The good Lord bless you Sis Nora and the prayer ministry and pour our His richest blessings upon you all and gives His peace

Yours in Christ,

Dear Sister Nora & team,

Thank you so much for the prayerline. I’ve been listening about 10 years now. The prayerline is a lifeline with solid presentations that just are not available locally.

Brother Phillip mentioned sharing a document about vaccines with the group. The moderator mentioned the cfwplm facebook page. However, some of us do not do any social media. Would it be possible to obtain the document he wants to share & send it out as attachment to the email alert list? Or a link on the webpage itself or even a google drive document if absolutely necessary. If possible, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for all the hard work that goes into making the calls possible.

Blessings

Hello. I have listened for about 6-8 months now to this prayer line. I found, just simply by seeking the word deeper in my walk. Much I don’t understand yet, much my soul thirst for. I am not an SDA; however, I am Christian, who serves my Savior, Jesus. When I hear the replay line or occasionally the live line, my confidence and faith are strengthened. My life, my family and hope, belief are in a turbulent storm now. My children are struggling in their studies/motivation/confidence/behavior and in their grades. I have an older son, who is wayward and has found himself out of my protection and in custody of law enforcement. His fate is not looking promising due to violations. He just turned 19 (11/11). I heard Sis. Esmie Branner speak (YouTube Sermon) of her son’s testimony of their lives turned triumphant. I wept, thinking…”but how can my own son…?” I heard Elder Derrick Hall mention of his eldest son, minacious transformation too. I don’t know these individuals personally but admire them and bless them for their transparency to give God and ultimate Glory.

I ask with my heart to please pray for my wayward son, that an angles heart will connect with his heart to reveal a truth of Real Love that won’t fade or leave him. Pray for my other 2 children 12^th grade, 8^th grade that these school years will bring out an unshakeable academic success and their faith and confidence and strength rest on Jesus and they will know they can solely lean when they call out to him. And for me…that the Lord’s promises are truly Yes and Amen. That these concerns and others unmentioned are perfected according to Jesus plan and will. One thing I know for a fact, there is a God above who looks below. His arms stretch wide and his reach is deep…to find the least of us, who are lowly in spirit and deep in mud, to bring us to a Glorious light. I know it’s lengthy, I apologize. Thank you in advance. God bless CPSDA Church, and pastors, families, communities, and affiliates. Thank you, God bless you all.

Dear Sis. Nora,

Thanks to you and the fellowship for maintaining this prayerline that is such a blessing to so many.

I am always only able to listen to replays so I don’t get to ask questions. Yet I am grateful. Can you assist me by proving the contact information of a speaker. I was so blessed by his message and would like to receive some further guidance from him.I will be content with either an email address or a phone number.

Enjoy the Sabbath hours as we continue to hold each other up in prayer.Blessings,

Grace Semple-Paul,

Hello Sis Nora,

Thanks so much for your prayers as we seek to do God’s will at this time.I am calling from Canada. Is Skype a more affordable way to dial in for the conference call?What about Whatsapp? Has that worked for some people?I love to listen to these messages online. They inspire me to keep going and I long to listen live so I can participate.Dear sister, let us each seek Christ daily as we move forward in faith. May he grant us that peace that passeth all understanding.As we commit our plans to him, may he make the crooked path strait and make his perfect will made known.

Monique,Canada, August 25,2016

Good morning all! Just want to let everyone know how much this prayer line is appreciated. I live in the Bahamas so i don’t get to join in on the live calls but i go back and listen to the postings on the website and they are such a blessing. Keep up the Good work and continue to be encouraged. God Bless!

Zarah Humes, Bahamas

My initial reason for calling into and participating on The Southern California Connection Prayer Line Ministry was because my friend, Gwen Shorter, invited me. She was very excited about it, so, wanting to support her, I called in. But like the men of Samaria told the woman, “Now we believe, not because of thy saying:. . .”, I have found a blessing in listening to the Biblically inspiring messages, the powerful testimonies, and the prayers that reach toward the throne of grace. Every time I listen in, its like being at the old-fashioned Camp Meetings of my youth, worshiping with the saints of the Most High.

Please do make this prayer line a part of your daily devotion as you study the Word of God. You can only be blessed. In this short testimony I can promise you, the half has not been told. Maranatha!

Brenda, California

The prayer line has been the greatest blessing in my life since my husband passed away in 2009. What I really miss is the deep Bible studies Bud & I had every day. He was a deep thinker when it came to God’s Word & the Spirit of Prophecy. The prayer line has helped to fill that void in my life. I’ve met old friends on the line & made new friends, too. Having like believers to pray with you & to help encourage you is a special gift from the Lord. The speakers have shared important messages with us that keep us focused on our goal of heaven. I am looking forward to the Special Resurrection & to meeting all of you on this prayer line. Stay focused on Jesus.

Joyce, Tennessee

I have been blessed since Sis Pat Charles invited to listen on the prayer line. I am very inspired with the different speakers especially those pertaining to the end of time. I keep in my prayers always the leaders, Sis. Shorter, and all the speakers. I ask God to help me to listen and understand, and invite others to tune in. May the Lord Bless Us and Keep us faithful. Amen.

Hyacinth, Florida

Since joining the Central Filipino Prayer Line, it has been so encouraging. I was in a back-slidden condition and had stopped going to church. The church I had joined changed and just wasn’t the same church. The prayer line helped my sort things out. It showed me that there are still people wanting that old-time religion – the way things used to be in the SDA Church.

The prayer line is so inspiring and enlightening. I have contacted all my friends and relatives. Sometimes I have 2 phones going at the same time to hook up my friends to the prayer line. These messages are good for the soul. Before the calls, I get on the phone and call people to remind them to get on the line. So many out there are struggling and this prayer line just brings joy to your heart. It even beats Oprah Winfrey and the talk shows!

By the way I’m going back to church and getting stronger day by day and its helping me to grow in my spiritual relationship with Christ. Its one thing to be religious, but we must be spiritual. This ministry is a joy – its just a joy!

Donna, Ohio

“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” I Corinthians 2:9 This prayer line has given me a MINISTRY. I can share it with others. God put it in my lap – just a number to call. Every person can sow a seed in this prayer line ministry. Let this CFC prayer line be known to everyone, everywhere!

I wasn’t even going to do it – call in. Then the Holy Spirit began telling me to get on the line. My daughter knows when I’m on the prayer line to tippy-toe and be very quiet. God gives us so many chances. This prayerline is one of my chances. I am so grateful for this prayer line. God has given me such peace in my illness. He has made it all beautiful. Now, God blesses me to be a blessing. it is a blessing to be a blessing!

He loves me with an undying love. The hest gift is the gift of the knowledge of Him thru His word, our family and our church and by the ministry of God. – This Prayer Line! Everybody who comes on gets a ministry – just tell somebody else and you have a ministry! GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN!

Mille, California

I requested prayer for my daughter, beacuse she was so over stressed in her studies not eating or sleeping. It was very difficult. The doctors were saying she had all kinds of sicknesses. We prayed for her on the prayer line several times and God answered our prayers. She got better!

I am learning a lot about the end-time prophecies and what i must do to prepare. It is such a blessing. Prophecy Made Easy has really blessed me. I couldn’t understand these prophecies before, but now it is clearer than before. Thank God. i have shared the CFC prayer line numbers with others and encourage them to call in and get a blessing as I have been blessed.

Shandra, California

The prayer line is such a blessing to me. My spiritual life has grown, and my life in general has definitely been enriched. I sincerely believe that the Holy Spirit has anointed this ministry in a tremendous way, and it has the potential for even greater faith works.

EB, New York

I was suprised to hear from Sister Shorter after so many years. She told me about the prayer line and I told as many people as I could. As I listen everyday there is always something to bless me and answer my prayer.

“End Time Like These” ministries is an answer to my prayer. I had been praying to the Lord to move us out of the neighborhood and into the country. Elder Michael Johnson told us to just go door to door. Visit my neighbors and ask them if I could pray for them. The 1st week I did this all ______ broke lose in my house. Satan was angry. The 2nd week we didn’t go. The 3rd week was such a blessing. One neighbor, Kevin’s face just lit up when we ask to pray for his family. Another lady wanted prayer for her knee surgery. This has been such a blessing.

Brother Edward Baptiste message on the mind was so timely. Another family asked us to pray they would get the pornography out of their home. It’s gone.

The Lord is preparing His people. He is warning us of the things about to come. I always wanted to study Daniel and Revelation. Now I can on the prayer line! So much encouragement. So much pressing together. It’s turning us back to the Lord. The play back calls are such a blessing. I share this CFC Prayer Line Ministry on Facebook, in church, in my neighborhood, – Everywhere!

Marsha, Michigan

This has been a beautiful, beautiful experience. The prayer line is wonderful for sharing with others. Be encouraged Sis Gwen. I am praying for you. God is really doing something with this prayer line. I don’t want us to miss that fact. God is pulling his people together! I have shared this prayer line number and replay number with my friends. I have done my part. I am amazed at what is happening! We look for big things to happen but this is really waking God’s people up. There is an awakening happening now!

Barbara, Maryland

The prayer line is a blessing because it is a place I come to fellowship with like believers in the truth. I had to separate for now from my local church because of the disrespect of God’s Holy Sabbath and the drums, etc… in the church. This is now my only source of fellowship with like believers. I am spiritually fed and with ideas and support to get the message out. I was especially inspired by Buster to just get out there and I’ve been busy every since. I appreciate the prayer line and all you guys are doing to help me!

Dorothy, Mississippi

1999 was the darkest year of my life. I was next to being blind. I had to have cataract surgery in both eyes. I have 20/20 vision in both eyes now. I’m so thankful that the good Lord has given almost 9 years added to my 3 score and ten, so I can learn more of what God expects of me. I’m also thankful for this prayer line. Please pray for me that I can be an an example to those around me to wear modest clothes and follow the health message – and be ready to meet Jesus when He comes in the clouds of Heaven.

Orpha, California

PS. I was really impressed one time when the line was very noisy and someone prayed and immediately the line was quiet and clear. God answers prayer right now, if we ask!

A few months ago I received an invitation from my friend Gwen Shorter to listen to the So. California Connection Prayer Line sponsored by the Women’s Ministry of Central Filipino SDA Church. I listened the next day and I enjoyed the presentation, testimonies, prayer requests, and prayers that were offered. Since then, this prayer line has become a part of me. I feel so encouraged, enlightened, and blessed by the different speakers and the sisters and brothers on the prayer line. I have passed the word a long to my friends and relatives and invited them to attend.

The prayer line has grown and is growing. I feel that I have grown very close to the people just by listening to them on the prayer line. They are my sisters and brothers and I’m looking forward to meeting them personally in the kingdom and I thnk we all fee the same way.

Your sister in Christ, Gloria, Oregon

PS. I am so blessed and appreciate so much Dr. Haynes presentation on the Sanctuary Series.

I am learning so many things from the prayerline. Its addicting! It has also strengthened and increased my faith. The speakers are so inspiring and knowledgeable. You will learn a lot from the Bible. It has helped me to understand prophecy better. I am reading Prophecy Made Easy on the Internet by Glen Walker. It has really increased my understanding of the book of Revelation. I’m almost halfway through the book. I want to read it again and again until it sticks in my mind.

The speakers are so inspiring and we are being inspired from all different places in America. Its amazing!

Marie, California

Every morning I wake up I wait for 7 am and the prayerline to begin my day. I don’t know what I would do without this prayerline. I eat that for breakfast – my niece and I. I am glad that my cell phone plan allows me to do that. I have purchased several phone cards for others so the can listen also.

Becky, California

The CFC Prayer Line has been a blessing to me. I can see the spiritual growth in my life. The presentors and moderators are such a blessing. I did not realize I had such short comings when I come on the line. This prayer line has increased my knowledge of what the Holy Spirit requires of me as I search these things out. I am trying so hard to make the spiritual changes as they come to me thru the power of the Holy Spirit.

My prayer life has been tremendously blessed here. I used to pray 45 minutes a day I can now pray 2-3 hours a day as a result of the prayer line. My relationship with the Lord has become a loving relationship like I never had before. The Lord has shown me how sweet he is and how much he loves me. I have learned thru the prayer line that he not only loves me, but he cares for me. I have learned He is Jehovah Jirah – He will provide if I just wait on Him. He allowed me to see thim as a profound God thru the prayer line. I used to think he was a little hard. I know Him now as a warm and tender God. He speaks to me and I hear Him now. I am listening now – I just wait before Him and wait for Him to speak to me.

I thought I loved the Lord before – but now I am in LOVE with Him. I am practicing a few minutes each day reflecting on the cross – and my eyes water with tears. The Lord is teaching me to pace myself everyday. And I wait on Him. I’m not in a rush anymore. I wait on Him for direction. As a result, my life has become organized. Spiritually, I am not the same person.

I am surprised at the strength the Lord has given me. I have closeness with the Lord that I have never had in my life. Thanks to the prayer line that started me on the road to rejuvination. Praise the Lord!

Joan, New York

Thank you for throwing out the life-line for other through the prayer line. When I hear such wonderful messages I have to respond with my amens, uh huh, yes, etc…. I just hope its not too distracting to the speakers – Just want them to know they’re not speaking to dry bones out here. I can not dial in myself, but am connected to the line by a friend. Thanks God!
