Thailand cave rescue

The unknown and extraordinary details of the miracles that Jesus did during the Thailand cave rescue:

1: They were found and rescued allthough the situation seemed impossible.

2: The rope the British diver were using to guide them into the cave ended, so he went up to catch air and at that moment he found the boys sitting in front of him! He said that if the rope were longer, it would have passed straight underwater and they would not have found them!

3: Only one of the boys knew English and could communicate with the British diver. He is the only Christian in the group, and he learned the language in the missionary project that takes place in his small church.

4: The rain remained discreet during the rescue mission for 3 days and did not affect the operation whilst it rained in the surrounding areas.

5: As soon as the last diver left the cave (after all the boys were safe) the pump that removed water from the cave broke (It could have been a disaster !!!)

6: It rained all morning (11/07) at noon the cave was completely flooded!

7: All the boys were rescued and in surprisingly good health conditions, which even the Buddhist doctors "do not know how" to explain

8: The unit involved in the rescue action: people working together through linguistic and cultural barriers. Decisions and important choices were made in consensus until the plans were implemented. The excellent work and determination of a team with so many different people and nationalities.The only Brazilian volunteer in the operation was the missionary Tati Araujo, who translated to English-Thai divers, authorities and foreign military!

9: The church of Christ throughout the world, united to cry to God for His intervention. Disciples from every corner of the earth prayed, hoping that the Lord would make the impossible happen ... and it happened !!!!Without doubt, it was God's miracle that the world witnessed and was moved by!

Now is the time to celebrate the power and grace of God, who, unlike the Buddhist rites, did not need offerings or sacrifices, but in love, he launched Himself once more in history to rescue those who were lost. May our response be gratitude and worship to the one and only living God!

Actress Opens Up About Her Christian Faith,

Reveals How it Changed Everything

The actress, Carmen Cortez,  gives a glimpse into her life with her husband, Carlos PenaVega. The couple, who married in 2014, were both child stars. Carlos starred in the Nickelodeon series Big Time Rush and was a member of the band of the same name.

            The devout Christian couple lives on the "Jesus loving" Hawai island of Maui. The couple has one child, a little boy named Ocean, who they welcomed in December 2016.

            In a beautiful post last month, Alexa opened up about the way that God has moved in her life. Her thankfulness for her family and where God has brought her flowed from every word. She wrote, "I cannot praise God enough for this life and this family! Every trial... every obstacle... every bump in the road has only led us to be strengthened and find victory!," wrote the 29-year-old before adding, "Find peace in the “no’s” and in the trials! Your victory is around the corner! #reasonforyourseason."

            This isn't the first time that Alexa has opened up about her faith. In an interview with My Devotional Thoughts, PenaVega revealed how she got serious about her Christian faith in her teens.

            "I was raised in a home that had Christian values, but we never really went to church. The Christian values were taught, and I think that’s why I ended up going to it later on in my life." When Alexa was sixteen, she decided to go to church. At first, it was just surface level faith, she shares.

            "So I would drive myself to church and to Bible study, but it wasn’t something I was completely committed to. I knew I loved Jesus, and I knew I had faith, but I didn’t truly understand. It was very surface."

            Four years ago, she made the decision to get really serious about her faith. It completely changed her life. "It wasn’t until about four years ago that I started diving in, and that’s when I met my husband. And we were both kind of on that journey together. And once you do that, your life completely changes," she shared.

            She says that's impacted her movie career and her personal life, but she doesn't regret it one bit. "And I think he one thing you can tell obviously from a career standpoint are the types of roles I’m willing to take now as opposed to what I was taking then. Even your friends–so many things change. And I think it’s scary for people because they’re afraid they’re missing out on so much or like, 'Oh my gosh, I don’t want to give up all these things.'"

            She added, "But when you realize what you’re missing, by kind of living this other lifestyle, there’s nothing more fulfilling than making that decision to fully commit. And that’s been exciting."

            Her husband, Carlos, also had a conversion before meeting Alexa. In 2012, Carlos' band Big Time Rush was at the height of its success, but he felt empty.

            "When you get home, it's just you. The tour ended and I felt really alone," said Carlos, admitting he turned to smoking weed and isolated himself from all his friends. "I really hit rock bottom," he added.

            Finally, he went to a friend for help. That friend invited him to attend church with him.

            "I walk in the church and I know that I was supposed to be there. From that Sunday to the next Sunday, my life changed forever."

            He continued, "On [a] Thursday, I got invited to a Bible study and at the Bible study I met my wife."

            Alexa said of her husband in a Father's Day post that he's all she could have asked for.

            She wrote, "This man right here is everything I ever could have asked for and more! He is a lover of Christ. An adventurer. A giver. An incredible husband. Such a loving and patient father. He is a light with such a kind spirit. He can make you laugh until you either cry or pee your pants. He is a ball of energy!!! He makes really cute babies. He stands firm in what he believes in. He quite simply put... is " just the best! I love you my angel. I hope you feel so special today. Happy Father’s Day!

Abortion Survivor Shares Her Amazing Story:

 “I Was Meant to be Poisoned to Death”

A nurse heard faint cries and noticed slight movements among the medical waste

Melissa Ohden’s traumatic story evokes immediate feelings of horror and sympathy as she tells how she nearly was poisoned her to death by her family, LifeNews.com, reports.

But some people may start feeling uncomfortable and backing away when they find out the manner in which she nearly was killed… n abortion.

“I grew up knowing that I was born prematurely, that I had been adopted,” Ohden said. “What I didn’t know was that there was this great secret behind all of this. That I should have been delivered dead, and instead I was born alive.”

She learned the terrible secret when she was 14 years old.

“I was meant to be poisoned to death,” she told the BBC.

Follow LifeNews.com on Instagram for pro-life pictures and the latest pro-life news.

According to the report:

In 1977, in a hospital in the US state of Iowa, Melissa’s 19-year-old mother had undergone an abortion using a toxic saline solution over five days.

Born at eight months and weighing less than three pounds (1.3kg), Melissa was placed among medical waste.

 That was, until a nurse heard her weak cries and slight movements.

Melissa was rushed to an intensive care unit, where – against the odds – she survived.

It was traumatic news for a teenager, and Ohden said she struggled.

“I turned my pain upon myself,” she said. “It was a lonely place. I developed an eating disorder, struggled with alcohol abuse. I didn’t want to be me.”

Years later when she finally found her birth mother, Ohden said she learned how the situation surrounding her birth was even more complicated than she thought. Her birth mother told her that she never wanted the abortion, that Ohden’s biological grandmother had forced her into it.

What’s more, Ohden said her birth mother never had been told that she had survived.

She told the BBC:

“What I learned was my grandmother – her mother – was a prominent nurse in the community, and that the local abortionist was a friend of hers.

“Together they literally forced the abortion on my birth mother against her will.

“They were able to bypass the hospital regulations and procedures that my birth mother would have had to go through.

“So people at the hospital thought it was her choice, and she had no opportunity to fight back.”

Melissa’s survival had been even more unlikely as her grandmother, who worked at the hospital where she was born, had instructed her colleagues to “leave the baby in the room to die” that day – a fact she had openly admitted among family members.

Ohden said she is not angry with her birth grandmother, but her heart does break for her.

After years of struggling with the events around her birth, Ohden said she now considers herself “one of the luckiest people in the world.” Unlike millions of other unborn babies, she survived the abortion. Ohden said she has a loving adopted family and a good relationship with her birth mom, all of which she is extremely thankful for.

Now an internationally known speaker, Ohden shares her story to help people understand that every unborn baby’s life is valuable.

March of Nations Fills Jerusalem With Love and Prayer as the ‘Real Victory Over Nazism’

“Call upon Me in time of trouble; I will rescue you, and you shall honor Me.” Psalms 50:15 (The Israel Bible™)

The 2018 March of Life, held in Jerusalem (Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz)

On Tuesday, the three-day March of Nations conference culminated in a parade of over 3,000 Christians from approximately 40 countries who filled the streets of Jerusalem and displayed their love of God and the Land of Israel on the Jewish state’s 70th anniversary, Breaking Israel News, reports.

Outpourings of love for Israel always contain a moving spiritual element, but this gathering had an additional element: witnessing the flourishing State of Israel that has risen from the ashes of the Holocaust.

“This is the real victory over Nazism,” said Member of Knesset, Rabbi Yehudah Glick as he led the parade from Sacher Park towards the center of town. “The hearts of these people is stronger than all the darkness. The love in Israel is stronger than all the hate.”

The event was organized by the March of Life, an organization of descendants of Nazis who work to preserve the memory of the Holocaust in an effort to prevent such a horror from ever happening again.

The March of Life began in 2007 with a march of remembrance from the Swabian Alb to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. Since then, marches have taken place in over 20 countries and in more than 350 cities.

With the motto, “Remembering – Reconciliation – Taking a Stand,” the March of Life is aimed at giving Holocaust survivors a voice, promoting reconciliation between descendants of perpetrators and victims as well as taking an unmistakable stand for Israel and against modern anti-Semitism.

As such, many of the speakers at the seminars and at the gathering that preceded the parade were Holocaust survivors. The stark contrast between the genocidal anti-Semitism of the Holocaust and the outpouring of love at the event was palpable.

Indeed, the love for Israel and the Jews was expressed at the edges of the parade where Israelis mingled with their foreign guests. Prayer sessions, formal and spontaneous, focused on dispelling the hatred of Jews that still lingers in the world.

This was the first event the organization has held in Jerusalem. It was scheduled to take place on May 14, the Gregorian calendar’s anniversary of the day when David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, declared Israel’s independence 70 years ago. Israel celebrates its independence on the Hebrew calendar’s anniversary, the 5th day of the month Iyar

Doctors Recommended She Abort Her ‘Miracle Baby’

She Refused, and Her Son Later Saved Her Life

Image source: WCBS-TV

A New York mother who was encouraged by doctors to abort her baby 30 years ago has now received a life-saving kidney from the very son who may not exist today had she listened to the medical advice.

Long Island resident Evelyn Bowens was 35 when doctors informed her that she had a weakened cervix, a condition that could lead to miscarriage or premature birth, the New York Post reported.

“My doctor told me to abort him because of the high risk and I said, no, I’m not gonna do it,” Bowens told WCBS-TV.

Doctors were correct in one prediction — Bowens gave birth at seven months to a baby that weighed just 3 pounds, 12 ounces.

Bowens named her son Miles, and although he spent the first weeks of his life in an incubator and required surgery to remove hernias before he was a month old, he grew up to become a healthy man. And when his mother’s health began to fail, Miles ended up being the miracle she needed: a match for a kidney.

“The miracle of this whole thing is, I had a high-risk pregnancy, and they told me to get rid of Miles,” Bowens, now 65, told the Post. “If I had gotten rid of my son as a baby, I wouldn’t have this kidney.”

Miles Lowe said he always cherished his mother, who worked as a teacher, night tutor and children’s music minister at their local church to make ends meet and raise her children alone – all while suffering from high blood pressure.

“A lot of people don’t have their mother to take care of them or show them love, and she showed me love and put a roof over my head all these years,” he said.

This wasn’t the first time Lowe helped to care for his mother. After his elder siblings went to college, he would bring his mother her blood pressure medication to her bedside, and the two would bond and talk about their days.

When Evelyn’s creatine levels spiked four years ago, doctors told her she would need to go on dialysis if she didn’t receive a kidney transplant soon. Lowe didn’t hesitate to help his mother.

“Right then and there in the doctor’s office, they told me, ‘She is going to need a transplant,’ and I said, ‘I will do it, ma, we have the same blood type,’” he said. “I didn’t even ask my wife. I was just like, ‘I have to go do this for my mother.’ I owe her.”

After Lowe passed all of the necessary medical screening tests, he had the operation last June. “I mean, how many opportunities do you have as a son or a daughter to come back and help your parent in a major way?” Lowe said.

On Sunday, the family had double the reason to celebrate Mother’s Day: Bowens’ newfound health. “It’s a true blessing to be sitting next to her knowing she’s good and she could be with all her grandkids and be in good health,” Lowe said.

Security Cameras Capture Footage of an Angel With a Sword

(Glen Thorman/Jordan Rivers/Facebook)

 Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

A Michigan man says his security cameras picked up footage of an angel with a sword recently.

"I said, 'That's an angel!' And I was just blown away, I couldn't wait to send it to my wife and send it to [Pastor] Deneille [Moes]. And I said, 'I got an angel, and my camera took a picture of an angel,'" Glen Thorman tells WNDU.

Jordan Rivers writes:

Last night at the Thorman's house, the security camera recorded this snapshot. Glen Thorman is the fire chief for East Jordan ...( they attend Jordan Rivers) Yep folks... It's an angel. I guess there is no question who is watching over their residence while they sleep, and yes, they pray that The Angels of the Lord will surround them and their property....These photo's have not been altered in anyway. The second photo, the security camera also shot because the angel was moving away. The camera is designed to photograph anything in motion or unusual.... lots of tears today when they opened the security on their camera ...WOW!

'He is a Miracle': Brain-dead Alabama Teen Comes Back to Life, Believes He Was in Heaven

He's being called the "miracle in Mobile." After suffering a severe brain injury in a dune buggy accident, and being brain-dead for several days, an Alabama teen has made a miraculous recovery.

According to WALA Fox 10, Trenton McKinley, 13, was riding in a small trailer being pulled behind a dune buggy when the accident happened. Trenton's friend who was driving the buggy, hit the brakes quickly, causing the trailer to flip over.

Trenton told the television station he grabbed and threw his four-year-old niece out of harm's way, but in doing so was pinned by the trailer as it came down.

'Miracles From Heaven' Retells a True Story of Miraculous Healing

"I hit the concrete and the trailer landed on top of my head. After that, I don't remember anything," Trenton told Fox 10.

The teen was rushed to the hospital where doctors counted seven skull fractures. His parents had to go through their worst nightmare.

"All I saw was a stretcher with his feet hanging out. He was dead a total of 15 minutes," his mother, Jennifer Reindl told Fox 10. "When he came back, they said he would never be normal again. They told me the oxidation problems would be so bad to his brain, that he would be a vegetable if he even made it."

Doctors determined the teen was brain-dead and his breathing was shallow. His parents knew they had a difficult decision to make. They could help five other kids by donating Trenton's organs, so they signed the necessary papers.

“They said the next time his heart stopped they had to let him die. This was a Saturday or I could sign a paper to donate his organs to save five other kids and they would keep hitting him with adrenaline till Monday….so I signed it," Reindl wrote in a Facebook post. "His eyes were solid black and dry and I knew he would not hesitate to save 5 more lives."

Then, a miracle happened.

One day before his doctors were to pull the plug on his life support, Trenton began to show signs of brain activity.


"The next day I got a call. They canceled the final brain wave test right before they hooked him up his hand moved. Then his feet," Reindl continued in the Facebook post.  "So they looked at his eyes and they were back. He had blue eyes. Now they are green with small white specks like glitter. They say when you look upon God…pigment changes…and my baby was in heaven for a whole day….he is a miracle."

Fox 10 reports that Trenton believes he went to heaven.

"I was in an open field walking straight," Trenton said. "There's no other explanation but God. There's no other way. Even doctors said it."

 Trenton continues to recover, although he's dealing with nerve pain and seizures almost daily.  He has had three brain surgeries and currently only has half of his skull.  The other half will be reconnected soon in the next surgery.

Franklin Graham got wind of the story and took to Facebook asking his followers, "Do you believe in miracles? I do."

He went on to say Trenton "nailed it" when he said, "there's no other way to explain it but God." Graham then quoting Jeremiah 32:27 which reads: “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”

Renier had a strong Jesus encounter.

April 5

Thank you Jesus.

Today Renier had a strong Jesus encounter.

He struggled with his back for a long time. He also couldn't touch his toes. After the Godly touch he managed to touch his toes without any pain. The pictures were taken with less than n minute between them.

Jesus also touched another Muslim man today so I will go and deliver him a Bible tomorrow.

Thank you Jesus!!

Jou getuienis kan die verskil maak

Die Groot omgee....

In Mississippi het ‘n hengelaar een aand donker onder ‘n hoë padbrug visgevang. Hy was nie bewus van die vrou bo-op die brug wat gereed gemaak het om na haar dood te spring nie.

            Sy het met ‘n erge geplof ‘n entjie van hom af in die rivier beland. Sonder om te dink het hy in die rivier gespring om haar te red.

            Eers toe hy in die water is, onthou hy dat hy nie kon swem nie. Elke keer wat sy kop die water gebreek het, het hy luid om hulp geroep.

            Die betrokke vrou het na hom toe geswem en sy lewe gered... natuurlik haar eie lewe ook.

            Dis bitter laat, ‘n magdom mense verdrink in die lewenssee.  Jy en ek is vissers en sal moet inspring en siele inwin so wat ons kan.

            As jy geen opleiding het oor hoe om te werk te gaan nie, spring in want jy is  nie alleen nie. Jesus het die opdrag gegee, so Hy en die  Heilige Gees is by jou om te help. Jou getuienis is soms al genoeg.

            “Verkondig die Woord; hou aan tydig en ontydig; weerlê, bestraf, vermaan in alle lankmoedigheid en lering.” 2 Tim 4:2
