“I work at a homeless shelter.  A 9-month old baby girl, whose family were overnight guests at the shelter, had been diagnosed with a life threatening condition that caused her heart to beat abnormally fast.  It could be corrected with surgery, but there was only a 10% chance of survival.  The mother was frantic and afraid.  No matter which decision she made, she could lose her baby.  Two days before the scheduled surgery, I was playing with the baby as her mother held her.  I felt led by the Holy Spirit to lay my hand on her chest and pray for her healing.  As I felt God's power release from me into her, she stopped laughing and smiling, and closed her eyes and laid her head on her mother's shoulder in a peaceful rest.  The next day, the doctors had her tested for the previously diagnosed condition and found that her heart was beating normally and everything looked fine.  She no longer needed surgery!!  The mom cried tears of joy. She knew that God had healed her baby and she wanted to start living her life the way God wanted her to live.  Praise the Lord, He is glorified!”

"I recently lost my husband and soul-mate of 49 years.  When we started attending HFC 6 years ago, we began to tithe faithfully, and we did it by faith.  We saw God sustain us and prosper us (even through the loss of both of our jobs).  We began to see just how supernatural His economy is.  My husband was the one who took care of our finances and I never had to even think about that aspect of our relationship.  When he passed away, that responsibility totally fell on me.

I was suddenly faced with bills and allocating money.  My husband had a death policy that was granted to me about 3 months after his death.  I had to choose to either hang on to it and put all of it into savings – or tithe and trust God.  Of course, thoughts of doubt and fear flooded my mind. But when I put my hand to write the tithe check to HFC, I proclaimed, ‘God, You are my source and I believe You WILL take care of me!’  I wrote the check for my tithe and the next day when I went to the mail, I received a $10,000 check from a settlement we had been sitting on for 5 years!  I have continued to see God provide and bless me without one worry.

I am thoroughly convinced that God will continue to be my source as I continue to be faithful to Him in my giving.  I’ve been able to pay off all our bills and I know my God is faithful.  Not only am I tithing, but I have increased my giving as well and God just keeps on supplying my needs."
