Testimonies From The Fifth Service

I've been going through a lot with my family who aren’t Christians; very persecuted, left out, rejected, trying to show the love of Christ and feeling like it is to no avail in the natural, but knowing Christ is all-powerful. During worship at The Fifth Service, God ministered how he has adopted me, accepted me, and loves me unconditionally. The band went on to sing a song about Christ's love that saves and and how His blood claims us. It ministered to my Spirit about how Christ does claim me through His blood and His blood is thicker and richer than any worldly blood. I then looked around and saw my beautiful family in Christ. The anointing was so strong--especially when Missy was talking about Looking to God in all things and when Pastor Brandon was talking about trust defined as confident expectation. The whole service touched me. I went up for prayer and felt such an empowerment of the Holy Spirit to overcome in my life! Thank you Jesus, The Pastors at The Fifth service, and to my family in Christ! There is such an anointing of God in that place! I encourage all people to come to Fifth Service if you want a breakthrough in your life!

During the Fifth Service on January 31 you spoke in the middle of your message about parents who won't let go of their 22 year olds and they should because they have had 18 years to raise their children and now it was time for their children to be adults. While my children are still very young, my niece who is 19 had been living with my husband and I for the past year due to a poor family situation in her hometown. And while we had not had 18 years to pour all of our insight into her, only one year to be exact, what you shared that night really spoke to us.
The day before that service our niece told us that she had been thinking about moving back to her hometown due to two recent situations. My husband and I told her that we felt that it was a very poor decision on her part to move back because there was nothing there for her except for a very bad family situation. Her parents have not raised her since she was 9 and she has moved from friends to family members to boyfriends. She had also been heavy into drugs and alcohol while she was there. So basically, we did all we could to talk her out of it.
We reminded her of all the positive changes she had made while she was here. She had completed her GED. She was about to start college the next week. She had found and kept a job for the past 10 months. She had become very involved with Driven Youth Ministries and part of their leadership group under Youth Pastor Jeff Burquest.
When you spoke what you did in the Fifth Service on January 31 about parents of adult-aged children, I had realized that all we could do is say what we thought was best, but in the end she had to come to her own decision. She came to that Fifth Service and came forward to rededicate her life to Christ. Our hope was that she had come to her senses and would decide to stay where she had the best opportunity for a positive future. However, in the end, she chose to move back to her hometown.
And as you can imagine, it was very hard for us to let go. However, I appreciate that you did share that because it reaffirmed to me that we had done all we could do. I also wanted to tell you and all of the Fifth Service staff thank you for the vision for this type of service at our church. It ministered so much to our niece during the time she was here. Coming each week, has blessed my life so much too and I appreciate all of the hard work that is poured into it every week.

Over the last two years one of my close friends began asking questions about God and what it meant to be a Christian. We had many late nights talking about God and His ever-present forgiveness and love. I had asked her to come to church with me recently and to my surprise she was eager to join me even though it took a long time for our work schedules to allow us to go to The Fifth Service. She came to church with me last Sunday evening and she was actually super excited. When it was time for the altar call she turned to me with tears running down her face and said, " Should I?" I nodded, equally choked up, and we went forward. It was so amazing! A person that two years ago had no idea that there was a God and had so much bitterness in her heart surrendered her life to Jesus last Sunday! God is so good! Thank you guys for all you do at LWCC. God is using you in a powerful way to speak into the lives of the people around you!
I was in the service on Sunday when Pastor Jim was talking about speaking the word and speaking only positive and not negative. That Sunday I had felt a lump in my breast. I went into the doctor on Tuesday and the doctor confirmed 3 small lumps in my right breast. The doctor also had another physician’s assistant there who also confirmed those lumps. They documented the diagnosis on paper and they had me feel them and I could feel the lumps were definitely there.
They set up a diagnostic test at the breast center in St. Lois Park. As soon as I got the report I just stood on the Word and did what Pastor Jim said, I did not speak out anything but positive. I just spoke out scriptures and I just prayed. I called the church and asked if they would pray for me and I also contacted TBN and told them I was fighting off something in my body. When I went to have my diagnostic test they said whatever the doctor felt and whatever I had felt was no longer there! The Doctor said whatever was there is not there anymore! I had an ultrasound and a mammogram to confirm that there was nothing there!

On Saturday night we watched the webcast with Pastor Jim. We are members of LWCC and were unable to attend this past weekend because of an attack on my body throughout the previous 2 weeks. We tried hard not to confess the illness and spoke words like "my body is healing this condition." However, there were no visible signs of that since I had all the symptoms related to heart disease. We prayed and prayed and on Saturday night when Pastor Jim called for anyone needing healing, my husband cupped his two hands over the area of greatest concern. Today ALL of the symptoms disappeared, Praise God! Hallelujah!

I have been suffering for a long time with chronic neck pain due to having no curve in my neck. Basically, I needed a new neck. Sunday morning I woke up with a massive headache and dealt with chronic pain all day long. I had a friend who is a massage therapist work on my neck, but it did nothing. Last night at The Fifth Service Jim laid hands on me and I suddenly felt a gentle fire working up and down my neck. There was one catcher standing behind me, but I heard 4 different voices speaking in other languages. I believe it was a manifestation of angels surrounding me. After I was prayed for, I went back to my seat and was very light headed because the blood started flowing strongly again to my head. The next morning after the service I woke up completely healed and 100% pain free. I received my new neck! Praise the Lord!

Sunday evening during the 5th Service Dr. Tan agreed with me by taking authority over cancer. My medical test results three times came back negative for cancer! ! AMEN

Last Saturday I woke up and my left arm had a real sharp pain. I thought I had slept on it wrong and figured it would go away as the morning went on. Instead the pain grew worse. So much so that by the end of the day I could not straighten it, could not touch it, could not rest it on anything. The pain was so sharp all I could do was to sit still. I could not think of anything else. Saturday night I could only sleep for 2 hours as the pain was so great.
Sunday came and while I began to take painkillers it was not enough. It did not get any better on Sunday. Pulling up to the church for the Fifth Service I told my wife that if there was prayer that evening then I was going up to get prayed for. Thank the Lord there was a healing line. I went up, was prayed over and went back to my seat not feeling any better. However, my wife and I chose to stand on the word and give thanks for the healing. That night I slept the whole night, did not wake up once. By morning the pain had started to subside. By Wednesday I could lift my arm above my head and straighten it out. By Friday I had my full range of motion and the pain was 100% GONE! Thank the Lord!

I had prayer last Sunday night by Pastor Mac. I went up for a healing in my knee from some chronic pain that had hindered me from working out. I had an immediate healing. The devil has tried to bring the pain back and I immediately say, "No, I am healed in Jesus' name!" and the pain goes away again.

I am sure by now you have received testimonies from the 5th Service last Sunday. I was there and you laid hands on me for healing. As God is my witness, I can tell you that I could not bend over to touch my toes. My lower back was in such pain and my feet are arthritic with pain. This morning, I bent over and touched my toes pain free! It may not look pretty doing it, but I can do it! I can wiggle my toes pain free! All I can say is this: Praise God and thank you for your belief in God and how you preach His word from the Bible! You have changed my life.
Barbara
I wanted to share with you that the Lord has completely healed me of Carpal Tunnel. It was rather severe and I had pain on some level 24/7. I was getting therapy for it, and I have needed to wear a brace at night to relieve the pain caused from keyboarding during the day. I have not worn the brace, or had any therapy since then. I have been completely pain free since Sunday night! I have tested it in ways that I know would cause pain and nothing! I also had a painful cut on the inside of my left eyelid that was very sore to the touch. Completely healed!!! I knew I received that night; it was different than any other time. I am still standing in belief for the manifestation of something else going on, but I know it is finished so I am waiting in faith. ALL GLORY TO GOD.
Sally
For over a week I have had pain in my ankle causing me to limp that the doctor was unable to explain or treat effectively. I was looking forward to the prayer line at the 5th service and was expecting a healing touch. After you and Pastor Lynne laid hands on me, I felt a significant difference almost right away. It has felt so much better and I believe that 100% restoration of my ankle is in the works. Praise God!
Kristy
I have suffered with a diagnosis of arthritis in the knees for the past 6 or more years. I have had 3 cortisone shots at different times to no avail. I went up for healing on Sunday night, and when Pastors Mac and Lynne laid hands on me, fire shot through my knees. I was instantly healed and has claimed it through the word ever since. Praise the Lord!!!!!
Patricia
I stood up two Sundays ago to receive a healing for something I had been fighting for 3 months. I had been speaking the Word, I had been to the Doctor, and had some victory but it kept recurring. After Pastor Mac’s testimony about corporate prayer, I decided that was what I needed. I thank God that I am healed and whole! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on October 8th. Everything went into slow motion when the doctor told me. It was so small (1.5 millimeters) and it was limited to one breast, in one place. The doctor said he’s never seen anything that small. Because I had peace with surgery, I asked him to give me a double mastectomy.
Two weeks later on October 20, I had surgery and they found that nothing had spread to my lymph nodes or anywhere else. There was absolutely nothing else in my body and I went back to work 12 days after the surgery took place.
Afterwards, I asked them to test the tumor again, and it came back that I didn’t need chemo or radiation. I fell to my knees and I thanked God. It’s a miracle of God, and there’s no question in my mind that He found it and He treated me.
This has been a testimony to everyone. My doctor asked me “where do you get your strength?” and I said “from the Lord.” She told me “this is the most phenomenal outcome you could ever have.”
