Hello Everyone,
How many of us in this time and season need to be rescued, liberated, or saved from a very intense and painful situation? Perhaps we need to be rescued from a sickness, from a broken relationship, an addiction, or from a mountain of debt? We all have situations and circumstances in each of our lives that we need to see Jesus come to the rescue—Jesus running into our seemingly impossible situation to bring redemption, hope, and a miracle.
Truth be told, I have seen many miracles in these 48 years of my spiritual life. Some of these miracles have been small and modest, as well as, some miracles that have been monumental and colossal.
I have seen instantaneous healings from broken toes to cancer, from relationships that looked doomed and beyond reconciliation yet God resurrected that marriage, to the totally lost prodigal that came running home to love, serve, and honor God and family. From the barren women who couldn’t conceive but now has several children. From no jobs to jobs that took off into their dream career and fulfilled their destiny. Cars that were given, houses that were given, to diamonds that were generously given. Court rulings that vindicated and exonerated. Vacation trips, even cruises taking me to a house fully furnished to the color, design, and furniture of my liking. Multiplying money in the bank account or in my wallet when in Bible School. Finding money along side of the road with words written on several fifty-dollar bills: “It’s Your Money. It’s Your Gift from God.” One day when we needed change for the toll booth, and I had no money or change, right outside of my window was the exact 50 cents that I needed. God is interested in ALL areas and details of our lives. He cares!!!
Yes, miracles from a mountain of debt to a mountain of freedom from drugs and complete alcoholic freedom overnight. Angels coming to rescue me from a very dangerous and deadly confrontational former convict. Oh, the list can go on and on. I have often stated in my 48 years of walking with the Lord: “WE SHOULD SEE MIRACLES HAPPENING ON A DAILY BASIS . . . BECAUSE WE HAVE A MIRACLE-WORKING GOD WHO COMES TO OUR RESCUE.”
How can we walk and live in a place of miracles in our lives? Why does God give us miracles and for what purpose? Let me first state some very important facts:
All things depend on God, and He depends on nothing outside of Himself—for He is a complete explanation and description of all phenomena and occurrences in life—in heaven and in the earth. The wonder and awe of God is that God’s existence and power do NOT depend on the laws of operation of the physical realm or the world. God keeps the universe and the heavens and everything conforming and obeying to Himself. God is alive—all active and all powerful—and He intervenes in the created order with miracles in which He loves to love us with all kinds of wonder working miracles.
Miracles are the supernatural works of the true, living, and Almighty God. Miracles represent God’s revealed love, power, and glory in one’s life. Miracles are for the “benefit” of man. True, godly miracles are scientifically inexplicable and physically unfathomable and natural forces alone could NOT produce them.
Miracles are God’s providence for each one of us. They are one of God’s high priorities for you and for me. Nothing delights, excites, and thrills the Lord more than when He releases His wonder working miracle in our lives. Miracles help us to see, understand, and walk in more of the revelation of His love, power, and glory. Miracles are part of the revelation of who God is in our life, in our particular situation and troubling circumstance. Miracles teache us different aspects of His character and of His matchless love for us. He releases freedom and liberates truth, justice, and divine glory of His beauty. Miracles are God’s way of interacting with us daily—repeatedly and constantly in a very significant, important, and intimate way of bringing His kingdom into our human realm.
When miracles happen, literally it means, “Jesus Came to the Rescue.” Jesus showed up. He steps out of heaven into our world and makes a special delivery of love bombs into our life.
Futhermore, miracles can also come in the form of divine wisdom, glorious peace, or the needed release that literally transforms the situation. Miracles can also look like PEACE that goes beyond comprehension, in which Jevhovah Shalom steps into that situation so that all worry, fear, and dread are melted away, and we stand in a place of His holy hope and fiery faith. Miracles give us and mankind hope that with God nothing is impossible. Man cannot outperform, out-maneuver God because miracles are not about man’s power, knowledge, or science. It’s about the hope of His redemption, resurrection, and His manifestation of power and glory and for the Good News to be seen and heard.
Finally, with miracles God is personally and powerfully revealing His Kingdom, that everything is completely under His control. It’s how His Kingdom and the spiritual world communicates to us in our world.
How to Get Ready for YOUR Miracle!
Then Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves (for His purpose),
for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders (miracles) among you.” Joshua 3:5 (Amplified)
Quick overview of Joshua 3: The children of Israel had come right to the threshold of their Canaan. They were about to cross over the Jordan River, about to enter their Promised Land, about to possess their inheritance—a land flowing with milk and honey, a land of abundance, a land of great provision and promise, a land of plenty. In order to get there, they had to cross the River Jordan. However, in the natural during that time of year the river was in great distress, difficulty, and danger. It covered a great territory, and it was seemingly impossible for them to get through the River Jordan.
Remember friends, God does NOT ask us to go where He does not lead. He knew the timing of the year that the Israelites would be crossing the River Jordan. He knew how the river was going to be dangerous and impossible in the natural. He wasn’t surprised or taken aback. He actually was setting them up to receive their miracle at the Jordan River. So, when they entered the Promised Land they would be entering into a ground-breaking miracle right out of the gate and stepping into God’s fiery love bombs.
There is an old hymn: Got any rivers you think are uncrossable? Got any mountains, you can’t tunnel through? God specializes in things tho’t impossible, and He can do what no other power can do.

Dear Father God,
I pray for each one of my friends with my whole heart that they would know YOUR unmistakable love, Your fiery bombs of grandeur, and Your Holy wonder of miracles as they stand at their river Jordan ready to cross over into YOUR “Promised Land.” Let each one know, feel, and experience in their soul YOUR celebration of love, wonder, and miracles.
Instill their hearts with faith, hope, and trust. Heal them from the inside out with Your mighty, fiery love bombs, and crown them with Your love and mercy as You supercharge their faith to see the impossible coming into the possible. Make things right in their hearts, in their lives, and give them wings to fly high in the sky of Your glory of miracles for them to hear the chorus of Heaven singing—God can do what no other power can do, when the water’s too high.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Updates, Miracles, & News
- Freedom House Schools 2021-22 April, 2022, Graduation, went very well with 63 students, staff, and guests in attendance. Many said it was one of the best FHM graduation celebrations ever. A few students performed some fun “skits,” which brought great laughter. Mark and Maureen Sandford gave an anointed and inspiring teaching and commencement address. We all enjoyed our time together, praising and thanking God for all that He had done in each life. At the end, forming a “Fire-Tunnel,” everyone went through as the staff, Sandfords, and Andersens prayed over each one.
- Freedom House Schools 2022-23: Stay tuned to your email to hear details of the Schools starting in September 2022 and running through April 2023.
Applications will be due August 22. - Prayer Counseling Ministry has been very special lately, (it usually is) but sometimes when the Holy Spirit shows up instanteously, and we get to participate in the changed life right in front of us, it’s pretty awesome. We’re counseling more pastors and leaders as their pain and hurts go deep because they need a safe place to be real. What an honor and priviledge to be that safe harbor for pastors and leaders. Additionaly, I’m now counseling several “teen-agers” who are seeking truth from the inside out. In these teen-aged sessions, I also get to see reconciliation with their parents. What a joy! Finally, it also seems I’m counseling several regarding Co-Dependent issues that God wants to heal.
- The Prophetic Ministry is also running strong as many are wanting appointments for a prophetic word. People from all around the US are desiring more of the prophetic. I give the Holy Spirit the glory and honor as He imparts more insight, wisdom, and clear words for each individual.
- Good News Coming to FHM: We hear over and over how lives are being touched through Freedom House and how they can feel, see, and experience a transformed life leading to a transformed family. Miracles are happening in individual’s lives and couple’s lives. What an honor to be involved in this type of healing!
- Zoom Events: In July, the event on “The Temperments” went great. It is always so much fun to give this teaching as it is one of my favorite topics. Another Zoom Event on Co-Dependency is coming up: What Is It and How to Overcome this “Desease of Niceness.” Watch for an email.
Summer times are somewhat challenging in the giving department. If you feel lead to give, we at Freedom House would be very grateful and thankful for your generosity and kindness. We serve a great big God, and I believe in great big miracles here at Freedom House.
