Prayer: "The Believer's Prayer Manual"
Written about with Author's consent

Since today is a Holiday I am going to keep it short and simple. I must say up front that I personally know the author of this book. I have not been promised or paid one dime for this right up.

The Believer's Prayer Manual by Flynn Cooper is a great book for those who have a hunger to know more about prayer. It is also a great resource for those who are more familiar in the various areas of prayer. It is a easy, practical how to guide with real life application strategies.

"Surprise me God - Day 1"

I was growing a little concerned I would not be able to report anything on my first day. But late in the night I stumbled across a wonderful surprise. It was a great, supportive online writing group with like minded people. It will encourage me to pursue my writing skills more.

"A Prayer testimony written by Tana Monteiro"

On September 20, 2003, our family received a call from the eye doctor at UC Berkeley. We expected her to tell us Quinn our 7 year old son, our first born would need glasses, imagine our shock when we heard Quinn is going blind. An incurable genetic disorder called Leber’s optic neuropathy. The disease affects the nerves in your eyes, and they die causing blindness. It happens quickly in less than six months you could go completely blind. It mostly affects males; my three male cousins suffer from it, two of which are completely blind. I have two brothers who do not have this, so I never was concerned that this would affect my sons. It usually happens to young men in their late teens/early twenties, but now we were hearing the news that our son was going completely blind. At the time of diagnoses his sight was 20/1066 in the left eye and 20/580 in the right eye.

After hanging up with the doctor, we immediately called our Pastor. I remember he said “I do not accept that”, he prayed for us and then called for everyone in our church to come together for corporate prayer. Our church calls this ringing the bell. When we hear the bell is being rung we know we must drop everything and come to church to pray for miracles, deliverance and supernatural interventions. Someone’s life is depending on us to touch heaven.

Our whole family (immediate and extended) started to pray. My sister in law sent an email to TD Jakes prayer team; I think someone else sent one to Benny Hinn’s prayer team as well.

We had to believe God for reversal, recovery, and restoration, there was no plan B. We had to believe God to reverse the curse, we had two other sons, and blindness was not going to be their destiny. We would not accept it!

At Quinn’s next eye appointment the doctor said she saw about a 1% increase in vision since the last visit, about two weeks earlier. She attributed it to the lighting in that particular office. We said we will take that 1% and believe God for the other 99%. She also showed us the x-rays of the eye nerves. We saw that the blood was not flowing through most of the nerves. Seeing this did not scare or discourage us, now we knew and could be more specific with our prayers. Our prayer “Lord Mighty God, Your resurrection power resurrect Quinn’s eye nerves. We command the blood flow freely through his eye nerves now! We command Quinn’s eyes, nerves, and blood line up to the will, word and promises of God. We appropriate the promises of the cross, God’s promises for Quinn. We appropriate the work of the cross and God’s promises for our sons Kahlil and Seth every curse be reversed In Jesus Name Amen!”

When talking to people about Quinn such as his teachers we never said Quinn is blind, we always said they have given this diagnoses, but we believe God and we tell them of the miraculous recovery he has received. Every month since the first visit Quinn’s eyes have gotten better and better. At Christmas time that year the Lord spoke to me and said the day I reversed the diagnoses the curse was reversed too. We now have His blessed assurance that our other sons will never be affected! At the present time Quinn’s vision was tested at 20/70 in both eyes, even the doctors say this is miraculous recovery. God said 20/20 so we will not settle for anything less, and know total recovery will be manifested.

Yes we serve a Mighty Super Natural Healing God! Truly our Lord Jesus Christ can bring anything back to life!
