Aimee Herd/David Henry (May 12, 2009) "What happened that day at the intersection of the Perimeter Highway and Saskatchewan Avenue was an authentic miracle… The laws of thermodynamics were momentarily superseded by a higher law. It had much more to do with the faith and prayers of a few ordinary people inviting God's intervening hand, in Jesus' name, to protect him on the road in a way that no one else can do…" (Winnipeg, Manitoba)— If you think miracles documented in the New Testament don't really happen anymore, you'll want to read the following story. Phillip may not have been the only one to be "transported" by the Holy Spirit, as Minnesotan trucker Roger Henry can testify. Read this remarkable account—written by his brother David—of what happened as Roger approached an icy intersection in Winnipeg one wintery day, just months ago. [January, 2009] Roger Henry, a seasoned trucker based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota has many years of driving experi...

Dan Wooding (May 9, 2009) "I love Lisa, and what better way to show it? It's easy to say I love you. What better way to show you love someone than to prove it by actions. It never came to my mind that this had not been done before. These babies are a part of Lisa, so they are a part of me as well." (Costa Mesa, California)—A California couple signed adoption papers last month, so the husband could adopt his wife's two previously aborted children and give them his last name. It may be the first such posthumous adoption of an aborted child. The documents were executed live on Rich Buhler's radio program  Talk From the Heart  on  KBRT AM-740 , which broadcasts to all of Southern California. Stan Musil said he wanted to adopt his wife Lisa's children as a part of his love and support for her, as a part of her healing from the pain of the abortions, and to give them his last name for a memorial that is being constructed in Riverside, California to honor children wh...

'Hand of Hope' Boy Has Passion for Life by  Suzanne Hadley  on 05/07/2009 at 8:30 AM Do you remember the famous photograph of the baby reaching out of the womb and grasping the doctor's finger? That baby is now 9-year-old Samuel Armas. The photo has been spread around the world and even cited during congressional debates on the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, but for Samuel it has personal significance.  According to Fox News: "When I see that picture, the first thing I think of is how special and lucky I am to have God use me that way," Samuel told FOXNews.com. "I feel very thankful that I was in that picture." On Aug. 19, 1999, photographer Michael Clancy shot the "Fetal Hand Grasp" — his picture of a 21-week-old fetus grasping a doctor's finger during innovative surgery to correct spina bifida. Nearly four months later, on Dec. 2, Samuel Armas was "born famous." The photo sparked controversy when the photographer claimed he saw...

Dolphins to the Rescue…against Pirates?! Aimee Herd (April 16, 2009) Since we know God used a donkey to warn Balaam, and a fish to pay taxes, I guess we shouldn't be surprised by the help of dolphins! Americans breathed a collective sigh of relief this past Sunday, in light of the daring and precise actions by US Navy Seals to rescue Captain Richard Phillips who was being held hostage at gunpoint by Somali pirates. But the US Navy isn't the only force trying to ward off these terrorist attacks… dolphins are also lending a hand—or a fin, as the case may be. According to a report by  CRI.com , a Chinese merchant ship, which was traveling the same treacherous Gulf of Aden as the Maersk Alabama ship had, appeared to be coming under attack by Somali pirates in small boats. However, as the pirates drew closer, thousands of dolphins suddenly began leaping out and back into the water—the dolphins were directly in between the pirates and the ship, preventing the terrorists from moving a...

Over 2 Million Red Envelopes Reach White House Mail Box Aimee Herd (April 8, 2009) "Quite frankly, there was definitely a deluge of mail coming through. I had to handle them all." (Washington, DC)—Toward the end of February an idea, which originated from C. Otto, began circulating the internet. The  Red Envelope Project,  as it has come to be known, involved sending an empty red envelope to President Obama at the White House on the last day of March to represent a child killed through abortion. Each red envelope was to be printed on the back with the words:  "This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception." According to a recent update from Chelsea Schilling on  WorldNetDaily.com,  the White House not only received red envelopes, but they were "deluged" with 2.25 million of them in the massive grass-roots campaign. The worker at the Whit...

Teresa Neumann (April 2, 2009) "Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away." (Fargo, ND)—The  AP  reports that newlywed couple, Nathan and Brittney Aakre believe their marriage last week was "prophesied" months earlier when they sent out their invitations. The scripture printed on their invitations was from the Song of Solomon: "Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away." According to the report, they were supposed to be married at Fargo's First Assembly of God Church, but when the Red River flooded, they had to find a local hotel to accomodate their wedding.  The bride's father, Reverend Cal Thompson, who married the couple, is reportedly convinced that their invitations were, indeed, prophetic.

Botswana to Hold "Queen Esther International Beauty Pageant" Teresa Neumann (March 9, 2009) "It is a search for the most inwardly and outwardly beautiful and good role model for this generation. Young people need women who display the fear of God and have grown into skilled, educated, articulate and productive members of society." (Botswana, Africa)—Former beauty queen Vehae Tjiriange believes beauty pageants are rooted in Christian history, noting that Queen Esther participated and won a beauty pageant.  (Photo: MmegiOnline) "Esther was beautiful. People liked her," she said. "She had the Lord's favor on her life. She was an orphan in a foreign country and went on to win the beauty pageant." With that in mind, Tjiriange has organized a "Queen Esther International Beauty Pageant" to be held September 2, which she says will be a celebration and the ultimate expression of true beauty, intelligence and integrity. The winner, or queen, ...

by  Suzanne Hadley As a children's magazine editor, I love a great kid story. And today I read one. According to  WorldNetDaily: Despite facing threats of disqualification, a 12-year-old girl took first place in a speech contest when she eloquently argued for the rights of unborn children – after an offended judge quit. "What if I told you that right now, someone was choosing if you were going to live or die?" the seventh-grader begins in a video recording of her speech on YouTube. "What if I told you that this choice wasn't based on what you could or couldn't do, what you'd done in the past or what you would do in the future? And what if I told you, you could do nothing about it?" The girl, a student at a Toronto school identified only as "Lia," continued: "Fellow students and teachers, thousands of children are right now in that very situation. Someone is choosing without even knowing them whether they are going to live or die. ...

Heartbreak in Australia by  Ted Slater Everyone experiences suffering. As I type this, individuals in Colorado Springs and Toronto and London and Makati and Auckland are hurting. And folks throughout Australia -- with its bushfires and flooding -- are suffering in heartbreaking ways. This morning I received the following e-mail from Cate: Hi there, My family (Mum, Dad, myself and my three little sisters) lived in the small town in Victoria. There were warnings that bushfires were 5 kilometres away and we were getting ready to evacuate. We had grabbed the family photos, important documents, blankets for the night in the evacution centre and some extra clothes but just as we were about to leave the fire came surging over the hill north of our property. We all scrambled for the car and sped off along the south road from our property. My two youngest sisters were crying and screaming about the pets my dad forced them to leave behind. Mum and I were trying to calm them down and praying God ...

Teresa Neumann (January 22, 2009) "Mr. Bush often told his staff that a president's job is not to chase popularity, but to do what is right. His insistence in following this philosophy is why he has low approval ratings, and why he has been a great president." (Midland, Texas)—While the American media focused on Tuesday's historic inauguration, little attention was paid to the outgoing ceremonies for now former-president George W. Bush. A handful of newspapers featured articles thanking the president for keeping America safe during his eight-year tenure, for promoting a culture of life, for his commitment to fighting AIDS, etc. One reporter, Marc A. Thiessen, in a January 19, opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, wrote: "I will make this prediction: The verdict of history on the Bush presidency will not be the same as the verdict of contemporary critics. As Mr. Bush leaves offi...

Pray for New President by Steve Watters The United States has elected a new President--Barack Obama. As a non-profit organization, we haven't been able to talk about candidates in this race ... until now. I'll be the first on this blog to say I'm disappointed and concerned about the days ahead. I realize from blog comments we've had over the past year, however, that some of you are probably excited about this result. Regardless of what you're feeling now -- discouragement or elation -- those of us who are followers of Christ are called to live by 1 Timothy 2:1-4: I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Whether we voted for them or not, we are to pray for our leaders. Some of you ...

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14) You may be thinking, "Can a few people like us actually change the whole nation?"  Let me ask you this: Can one demonic person change a nation for the worse? Definitely. Hitler did it in Germany, didn't he?  If the devil's power resting on a man can change a nation for the worse, you can be sure that a group of men and women with God's power resting on them can change a nation for the better.  No nation is so far gone that God can't change it. Israel proved that. Why, even when it didn't exist, the devil couldn't destroy it. God raised it back up before His very eyes.  I want you to notice something in that scripture. It says, "If MY people, which are called by MY name...." God didn't say it would ...

Kim Clement: God says, "I will Introduce Myself starting in WALL STREET and going through the STOCK EXCHANGE..." by Kim Clement Oct 3, 2008 From the desk of Steve Shultz: The following words were prophesied by Kim Clement on September 19 and September 20, 2008. This was BEFORE the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 777.68 points on Monday, September 29 - the largest single point-drop in history. This word has been transcribed word for word, but somewhat shortened in places for brevity. As many of you know, Kim prophesies in both riddle form and in exact "fact" form. You will see a little of each below. Always remember that it's good form to put this word up alongside words by other prophets who will get additional or what I call "cousin" words. Prophets don't often disagree to the degree some feel they do. They just get different pieces of the puzzle.

Came accross this post by Suzanne Hadley. Thought to share it: Buddies After a Break-Up von  Suzanne Hadley Following the re-publishing of my article  "Not Your Buddy,"  one reader asked me to address the topic of buddies after a break-up. She writes: The guy wants to continue having the benefits of the familiarity and the encouragement and cheerleading that the girl provided him with during the relationship, but also wants to "be free" and "move on." Is he crazy? When you have been in love with someone, I find it EXTREMELY hard to be "friends," even being cordial is hard at times. Especially when this guy has told you that you are the one and then flips it. I don't believe it's appropriate for men and women to be buddies after breaking up. I have remained friends with men I've had relationships with, but the familiarity had to end. This quote from J.R.R. Tolkien (provided by another  Boundless  reader) emphasizes the reason the broke...

Aimee Herd (September 30, 2008) The study found that with caring touch—holding hands, massage, hugging and kissing—blood pressure was lowered, stress hormones decreased in the blood and the positive hormone, oxytocin increased in the blood. EDITOR'S NOTE:  Many years ago the Lord taught me a lesson about touch and I've never forgotten it. (You tend not to forget the things the Lord shows you directly!) One night, after my husband and I had had an argument, I distinctly heard (not aloud) the Lord tell me to reach over and put my hand on my husband's arm, because "touch is important." That was the LAST thing I wanted to do since I was still mad. But the Holy Spirit kept prodding me. I told God I didn't want to touch my husband, and He said, "I DO. When you touch him it will be MY touch, MY love." How could I refuse that?! So I reached over and put my hand on my husband's arm—immediately I was immersed in God's love for him. It was remarkable. A...

Dr. Sharon Stone: "September Will Convince You that You Must Connect to His Economic System" The following is a prophecy given by Dr. Sharon Stone in Glasgow, Scotland in the summer of 2008 . The notations in RED are fulfillment of the word, but are not part of the word given. September is a Turning Point "September is a turning point and a sign of the times. It is all about those who have made Godly alignments in this season being blessed with revelation and information in the midst of world crisis. "I see more banks will suffer: a USA world bank's shares are in trouble ( Lehman Brothers files bankruptcy, September 15, 2008 ). I see government in the USA bailing out mortgage giants ( Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - Federal takeover, September 7, 2008 ) and the government in England cutting house purchase taxes for the sagging housing crisis ( Stamp Duty Tax change announced, September 2, 2008 ) to no avail.
