There are many reports of God's favor, for example, people getting jobs that they thought were nearly impossible, God returning lost items to people, and God delivering people from potentially bad situations. One situation involved the Lord actually changing a mistake in a catalog (2,000,000 copies) that saved our friends' job!
My husband lost a set of keys last week. We looked everywhere for them, even dumping his briefcase/bag....still, no keys. He left to teach his class and at the end, he asked someone to pray with him for his keys to turn up. When he went to get something from his bag, the keys were right there!
Also, our pastor received an email from a woman in our church, saying that she prayed for a woman with a twisted, swollen ankle. The Lord immediately touched her and all the pain left. Pastor Charles also received another email from a local pastor who was supposed to have surgery on an injured limb. After prayer, all pain left and after ten days without pain, he cancelled the surgery. He is doing well!
And here is a neat one from me: after paying bills and balancing my checkbook, I knew I was a bit limited and had XX amount of money left, so I have been extra frugal all week. Today, when I looked in my checkbook, somehow there was a lot more money in it. I don't know how it happened....it's all in my handwriting, but nothing matches up with what I KNOW I had written in there. Strange, but really awesome!

Update from Nicaragua
Remember the visit to the hospital in Matagalpa a few days ago? There was a sister in our church here that had a baby and in intensive care and I was told the baby had one lung and I will recheck on that but I went back and prayed for her baby and all the babies.
One thing that is starting to become apparent is that there is a culture of miracles being established and the people here are realizing it is the normal Christian life. Today I was asked to speak at a service in another church in Dario but also there would be one at 4 in a home, with our church and another church participating.
It seems that Tuesday morning that sister brought her baby home to Dario, completely well and the doctors could only say that it was a miracle. So she goes to our church, the dad goes to this other church and they want to dedicate the baby to God in a special service and they want me to preach. It just happens that I had personally led the dad to the Lord in the same service months ago that his wife was miraculously healed of stomach disease!
Remember the 14 year old boy, Jorge, the one I have shared about who has been marvellously used of God in healing and prophetically? Came to our school when only 4 months saved, now a year in God? The lady was his sister. Dios es bueno!

From A Friend in Nicaragua
I just received an email update from a friend in Nicaragua. Here's what it is happening:
A woman who we prayed for who was unable to have a baby was prayed for in July. While we praying for the sick last night she came up to testify that the miracle took place. She was pregnant but there was no movement in her womb and she had this sense that something was wrong. While I was preaching last night the presence of God just descended on her and she started feeling the baby move in her womb, just felt a lot of activity which is interesting as it is only 3 plus months along but she knew the child was alive!! She was just so overjoyed!
As soon as she was done, another woman got up and said that in July she came for prayer but not for herself but her husband who was at work and in severe pain constantly because of an inflammation in his body in stomach and back area. So we prayed and he was at work, she was in the church, and at that moment he was completely healed while he was working! He was in the service last night and I asked him if it was true and he said yes, that as he was working all the pain left his body and he has not had it since!
Then the husband of the woman pastor came to the pulpit. In that service in July, he was in the house and not in the service. The house is built to have a large meeting place for church and he was in the bedroom. He said he was listening to me speak and heard me say to put your hands on the area where you need healing, and I never even remembered saying that by the way. He was in severe pain and could not move and had a large tumor in his stomach.
So he lay flat, put his hand on his stomach and believed God to touch him. The next morning most of the pain was gone. The day after that, all the pain was gone and the tumor had shrunk to very small!
He was scheduled for surgery 2 days later and went anyway and watched the doctors freak out because the tumor was gone, he was pain free and completely healed! He told them what happened and they were incredulous! The testimonies of the Lord will fill the earth in this hour!!
In one service, there were miracles there besides the pregnant story, then a man in another room laying hands on himself and a man not even there being healed when someone stands in for him. What a great night in the kingdom!!
