ARME Bible Camp

Life Changing Testimonies Part 1

Before we begin the sharing time, let's just bow our heads.

Let's just ask for the Holy Spirit to be with us.

Dear Heavenly Father, King of kings, Lord of lords, our creator, our redeemer, thank you, Lord, so much.

Thank you that you didn't hesitate to send us your best when you sent us your son to die for each 1 of us, Lord.

Thank you for what you are doing here during this conference, Lord, and the way that you're saving each 1 of us into your kingdom.

Lord, as we share tonight about what you are doing in our lives, help us to be careful to give you all the praise and the glory.

There are 2 things that we take to heaven with us.

Others, friends, children, but also your testimony.

Now I've heard it said that you have to pass a test in order to have a testimony.

What we're going to call tonight is Army Family Sharing Time.

At the last camp, testimony time did not end until 1.30 in the morning.

The testimonies just got stronger and stronger and the Holy Spirit was just moving.

And these weren't these, you know, I had a good time at this camp and, you know, no, these testimonies were powerful.

And so what I want to let you know is that at 10 o'clock, if you're tired and you need to go to bed, no problem.

But for those of you who want to continue on, we will have this place open so that people can continue to share their testimonies.

So, you know, if God has touched your life in a special way at this camp and you want to share with others what God is doing in your life, then Please come and share with us so we can also rejoice together.

And so we're asking you to limit it to testimonies that are related to your Army experience.

It may have something to do with how you got here, how God led you, or something God is doing, you know, in your life here at camp, but we would ask that it be related to Army.

Otherwise, we could be here for a whole week.

Brother Lemon was a speaker at our last camp.

And what we wanted to do is bring someone over from the East Coast to the West Coast.

And so it was just a blessing to have him share.

I want to give God thanks because when I went to the Army Bible Camp, you know, as speakers, a lot of times we are in the mindset of giving, giving, giving, but it was great that I was able to receive as well.

And 1 of the things that was really powerful was the principles that constituted the united prayer.

And 1 of the things that they wanted to see done was that it would be duplicated, that this would start taking place in other places.

Well, when we finished the meetings in california in january where we did the army bible camp there at my booth there was a lady who came to me and she was from romania and she mentioned that there is a medical missionary institute in romania called her galea and is a very large institute as she happened to be the director And she invited me to come down and to speak to their staff and to their health guests and so on.

So literally last week I was in Romania and we were sharing with all of the staff members, the health guests and so on, and we were talking about things to how we can strengthen our walk with God.

But 1 of the things that was beautiful is she said, could you also teach them United Prayer?

So we went there and we got all of the staff together.

They had a staff of 50 people, 50 employees.

And we were able to get the 50 employees together.

And there were some internal issues in that organization.

And it was amazing how through United Prayer, as we began going step by step, exactly how you've experienced the United Prayer, we introduced that to them.

Dan, who was the director over there, I mean, people with tears in their eyes and they were just saying this was 1 of the most blessed events that they've ever participated in.

And it was just so wonderful to see how United Prayer, along with the Word of God, was able to create a tremendous revival in that organization.

They literally said, what we needed, you brought with you from America and have blessed us.

So I was just so happy to see how God was able to work through these wonderful principles of united prayer.

And I think that that's 1 thing that we really want to see from the Army Bible Camp is Not so much that you can say, I participated and did this and did that, but how can you take this back to wherever it is that you're going to go and you can duplicate this work so that we can, again, touch many more hearts.

So I pray that you will continue to do that.

I want to give God thanks for this wonderful, dynamic experience of United Prayer and how it has already been taken overseas through our ministry, with PTH Ministries, and how we were able to share that with others, and many people were blessed.

So praise God for the wonderful things that's being done here at Army Bible Boot Camp.

And you know, you can take United Prayer anywhere.

1 of the things Martin's offered, which I really appreciate, when I go do an evangelistic series, he offers to go into the church ahead of time.

It's hard to get some pastors to do it, but we have a pastor for this next series that I'm starting this week in San Diego.

And Martin went, what, about 2 months ago, and we shared United Prayer, and then we went into the prison.

How many of you are involved in prison ministries?

You know, you can do United Prayer in the prisons.

And we did that in San Diego, the inmates loved it.

He's gonna have to come put his arm around me because I've been blessed so much, I could be up here for 3, 4 hours.

Number 1, fear in life is speaking in front of others.

That means you'd rather be in the casket than given the eulogy.

But, after being here with everybody, Man, y'all make us all feel like family, like from day 1, minute 1.

And that's something that's important to me to feel accepted.

And you guys have really blessed me with that.

And I praise God for the love that I felt while I was here.

I tell you, I work in a ministry where I sometimes do 16-hour days and I'm in God's ministry and I'm burnt out.

And Jesus comes at 530 in the morning and I'm like, There's no room at the inn.

And all of us on the way here were different people than who we are right now.

Whenever we're getting a little bickers with each other, we stop it immediately.

The kids that I came with, the young men and women, I mean, some of them decided to be baptized.
