Good News! 12/11

Prayer Praise Report for Tony Callies and Terry Newman:

On Wednesday, Dec. 10th, Tony Callies went to Pulmonary Doctor to check his lungs and actually he is doing fine. Didn't really need to see him in the first place. The reason we came to this doctor was the question I asked his Cardiology doctor how would she know if Tony is completely free from the blood clots since last year he went to ER for that. The medicine he takes was about Pradaxa. That is when the doctor gave details that we didn't know about. Pradaxa does not cure blood clots. Pradaxa only prevent the cells from multiply the blood clots and it allows the nature to heal the blood clots itself. So now it seems he doesn't have blood clots as long as he keeps taking Pradaxa to prevent it. So that was the information we needed to hear and didn't know that for one whole year!

About Tony's flu that he had last week, I actually thought he had a problem and I was ready to take him to ER, but Tony kept telling me to wait one more day to make sure. Each day, he seems better and better which I was relief. I also use Pulse Oximeter for testing with finger to check his oxygen measure to make sure he was above 92 and etc.

Then Tuesday morning on Dec. 9th, I discovered Tony had shingles so I called his family doctor immediately to see if he could get his medicine right away. That same morning, the Doctor checked on Tony and prescribed medicine for him. What's amazing was that Tony did not have any pain and it did not show any raw spots. It seems to be dried up. The doctor was surprised. Most shingles were painful, but Tony did not feel any pains. I believed your prayers must have done that. 

Lastly before the doctor left, he teased Tony said that he will see him for 23 more years. Tony responds, "No way will I live that long. Give me a break!." They laughed and then doctor said, "See me next year for routine check up." Then the nurse came in and she took the time to explain what Tony had was actually flu because last week many people and children got the flu and it was going around. She explained that it was probably why Tony was exposed to the flu at that time. Also that it wasn't really his body that had problems as we had assumed. It was flu so naturally, Tony is okay.

So I believe your prayers kept Tony from getting too sick which usually last two weeks. Instead he got better after five days and much better two more days later. Today, he said, "Boy, I really felt good and much better. I appreciated the prayers very much."

Terry Newman had high cholesterol level which made him passed out. The doctor gave him medicine to keep the cholesterol on lower level. What I am thankful for that it happened at the hospital when the nurse was there to help him right away. God knows how to take care of His people. So thank you for your prayers!

#35 Dec 10 Report and Prayer Requests

Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." 

I like to share this: "We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose" Romans 8:28, The Amplified Bible.

This verse greatly encourages us, God's children when we must endure suffering in this life. God will bring good out of all affliction, trials, persecution, and suffering. The good that God brings about is conforming us to the image of Christ and most important bringing about our glorification (Rom. 8:29). 

12/7/14 Pauline Braddy: We had been praying for her since she went to the hospital and nursing home for rehab exercise. She has improved a lot to where she could move around. She is on dialysis machine for kidneys' purifying three times a week. She moved into Assistant Living Apartment with two bedrooms so her husband, John Braddy could moved in with her. They will put their house for sale in January 2015. John who is in his 80's was not able to take care of Pauline if she returned to their original home. They were blessed that all things went well with the help of their two daughters. Dorothy

Janet Memenga: She had two knee surgeries at two different times last October and November. We had been praying for her. She was able to walk much better and she lost some weight. She looks wonderful and was thankful for your prayers. She still needs prayer for complete healing from discomfort sometimes in her knees. Dorothy

Bill Eckstein, Ruth's husband: Bill was getting weaker since he had to be put on oxygen for 24 hours a day since few months. He has difficulty in getting up. Ruth is doing fine considering her age. Their daughter, Kay and Jack, her son-in-law lives with them and that was a blessing to Ruth and Bill. Dorothy

Pastor Terry Newman of Normal Deaf Church: On Saturday, Dec. 6th, Pastor Terry, Suzy, Janet and Judy went together to travel from Bloomington to Peoria which is about 45 minutes drives to visit a deaf friend who were deeply depressed for the lost of his best buddy friend. After the visiting time, the three ladies stayed on to visit while Terry came out to sit down for a rest. Instead he passed out and hit his back neck to where he fell. The nurse who happened to be there took immediate care of Terry and put him with a lot tests to find out what cause the problem. He had to stay in the hospital while three ladies came home. Suzy, his wife went to visit him last Sunday, Dec. 7th to find out the results. Please pray for Terry. Dorothy

Tony Callies: He had been sick with running nose from Dec. 3rd through 6th. After much rest, he seems to be improving very slowly. He worked some on Monday at Taco Bell and realized he isn't "out of the wood" yet. He was suppose to see Doctor to check his pulmonary lungs, but they didn't contact interpreter so it was postpone until Wed. Dec. 10th at 1 pm.  Please pray for Tony that he gets his energy back. Thank you. Dorothy 

If you have any needs to add to this list, please let me know at emails: dotcallies@hotmail.com.

Watch and Pray

"Watch and pray always, that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man" Luke 21:36.

"And in the day time He was teaching in the temple; and at night He went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the temple, for to hear Him" Luke 21:37-38.

Reference: "Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came unto Him; and He sat down, and taught them" John 8:1-2. 

Impressive that all the people came early in the morning to hear Him teach His Word!

#30 Oct 4 Prayer Need & Praise Reports

Psalm 70:4 "Let all those that seek thee rejoice and rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, 'Let God be magnified.'" The meaning of the word magnified is extol; praise; to increase or to enlarge. It is like we use magnify glass to read the very fine print and make it bigger and easier to read. The testimonies of God's healing power made our God a greater God. "Let God be magnified!"

Anyway I want to share this prayer request and some wonderful testimonies.

Pauline Braddy from Illinois was in the hospital for IV into her neck to prevent more stroke for a week. Prayer has helped her to become more alive and she has improved greatly. Now Pauline will go to Rehab to exercise her left arm, etc. She was able to walk. It would be painful exercise and that part she needs prayer to overcome and increase the use of her muscle. Her husband, John testified that it was a miracle that she became talkative after so many hours of sleeps for two days. Wow. "Let God be magnified!"

Bill Eckstein is on oxygen 24 hours a day to keep himself from falling. Yet he came to church which surprised everyone and he looks good. His health has greatly improved and thanks to your prayer that his colon problem has been corrected and healed completely. We praise God for this marvelous change in Bill. "Let God be magnified!"

Dianne Oppriecht has a wonderful testimony that she was able to eat oatmeal every morning for a month and her stomach has greatly improved. She is feeling better very slowly and really appreciate your prayers. She kept saying, "Prayer  really works. God does hear them. Thank you partners for your prayers. It means a lot to me" said Dianne. Wow! "Let God be magnified!"

Betty Jo Bennewitz gave a glowing report that most of her tests were good and her kidneys are stabled. What she needs right now is your prayer for her lower spinal cord area has spur problem that needs to be rehab to see if they could correct it without taking any risk on shots. Let's believe and say, "Let God be magnified" in Betty Jo's lower spinal cord and be healed in Jesus' name. Amen!

Tony Callies is having problem with his hip which made it difficult for him to walk with pain. When he rested, he seems fine. But when he walks, it hurts. Oh, let God be magnified and let Tony's right hip be healed in Jesus' name.

Linda Jochems of Michigan would appreciate your prayer for her bladder problem she had for a long time. The doctor recommend her for surgery so they are giving a test for that. She asked for prayer that all will go smoothly and that the hand of the surgeon would fixed it right. So let God be magnified and healed Linda Jochem in Jesus name. Amen!

Please continue to pray for those past prayer requests and many thanks for your powerful warrior prayers. Thank you! Dorothy

Jeremiah 33:2-3 “Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is His name; Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”

Christine Mitchell, Winnipeg, Canada - Hi hi ,  Prayer requests please!

1. Our friend a couple who haven't received Jesus as their Savior. No matter how many times sister and brother shared the word of God with them. They resisted anyone sharing the Good News. They both are in their 70's.  Her husband was brought to the emergency hospital last Saturday, he had very low blood pressure and he will need a heart surgery next week and says that the surgery is very risky. We would like a prayer chain to pray for The Lord to guide the doctor during surgery and may the result be of a good report and that they both receive salvation.

2. My husband Len went to see a dermatologist re small "mole" to be removed and send to the lab and he received a call saying that it was confirmed that his arm area had a melanoma. They are sending to the Cancer Centre. May he receive a good report; we don't have to be in fear and put our trust in the Lord's hand. Thank you all for your prayer support. Len and Christine Mitchell Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.

Rev. Pastor Terry Newman of Bloomington, Illinois – Prayer requests please!

Pastor Terry and his wife Suzy flew to Florida for 7 days to participate the Baseball Tournament and to receive award. The humid and heat was bad and Pastor Terry had heat stroke. It hit him hard to where he could not express words so he rested and drank lots of water. He seems to improve some. He and his wife flew home. He had to take it easy. He is having some memory problem so he needs prayer desperately for healing power. He quoted God’s words which has helped him.

Rev. Tony & Dorothy Callies – Prayer Request please!

Tony is doing well with his skins and he will check with his Doctor on Sept. 22^nd. Please pray for Sept. 20^th that God will give wisdom how to plan the 45^th Deaf Church History’s Anniversary on Saturday. Tony will give devotion on “I Have Fought the Good Fight” quoted by Paul, 2 Timothy 4:7. Both of us will sing lead duets as a memory of many old songs we sang.

Songs The Name of Jesus (8/25)

Ephesians 5:19-20 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; (20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the NAME of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.”  

Dorothy: Sometimes I use the songs while I am praying for someone in need of healing. I use the name of person instead of ‘us’, ‘my’ or ‘me’. While I was doing this, it brought a beautiful feelings of unity. The prayer songs go right into the very throne of God just like a fragrance to Him. The name of Jesus is like a fragrance after the rain. God bless you.
