Michal Ann Goll Stepped into Heaven Today

At 7:32 AM Michal Ann Goll Stepped into Heaven

This past weekend I ministered in a conference hosted at Mahesh and Bonnie Chavdas church in North Carolina. It was a powerful time and I was blessed to be a part of it. However I was in contact with Kathy Colbert, who has helped so much with Michal Ann during this season, and she made me aware that Michal Ann's strength was slipping and that I needed to come home. On Sunday night I did return home and my good friend Bill Greenman picked me up at the airport and we began making our way to the house. Earlier that day Mickey and Barbara Robinson had come over and prayed for Michal Ann and as they ministered to her, a big smile came to her face as they prayed. They were still at the house when we arrived; Bill came in with me and as he prayed for her, again a smile came over her face and a peace invaded our bedroom. As I spent the night in the room with her, I knew that she was nearing the end of her journey. The next morning, after I ministered to my wife through the night, Michal Ann breathed her last breath on earth and stepped into Heaven to be with her Lord, her first love! Michal Ann fought harder than anyone could have believed, including the doctors. I was always impressed with her fight to live until the last! Her legacy of Compassion Acts is going to live on in the hearts of many - and the lives that it is changing will help change the world to move in the Compassion of Jesus!We will be having two services for Michal Ann as she is worth the double blessing. HA! One will be in Nashville, TN on Thursday and the other is in the process of being planned in Odessa, MO this weekend (details will be forthcoming). Michal Ann will be buried at the Dover Cemetery in Dover, MO. Donations in lieu of flowers on behalf of Michal Ann may be made to Compassion Acts to support the dream that she carried in her heart for the poor and broken of the earth. The details for all arrangements are below.

Joseph was a dreamer/visionary

Joseph was a dreamer and it got him into trouble. In Genesis 37 we read two dreams that God gave to Joseph. The first dream was sheaves bowing down to him and in the second one there was the moon, sun, and eleven stars bowing down and worshipping him.

When Joseph told his brothers these dreams they became angry with him and the hatred they had for him increased. Why? Because they knew what he was telling them - they would bow down to him, their little brother! Although the dreams that he had were true and from God, that did not mean that people would get excited about them.

Have you ever had a dream or vision from God and when you told someone they did not get excited? Did they do just the opposite, and maybe got mad?

Joseph's problem was not the dream, but that he told the dream. We find no where in the passage from Genesis that God told him to tell it. What can we learn form Joseph's situation?

1. Never tell everything to everyone. Some things that God gives to you are for you alone.

2. Only tell those who respect your dream. Do not waste your time on those who disrespect it.

3. Sometimes you are to never tell it. Look at the revelation that God gave to Paul. He said that

there were things God showed him that he could never tell.

Another thing that you must remember is that family, even parents, may not encourage you. Some may even be jealous. It is not important that everyone is happy about what God has spoken to you or called you to accomplish. What is important is that God has spoken and that it has been confirmed and blessed by true spiritual authority.

New Series: How To Dream Again

Have things occurred in your life that have taken you down a different path than the one you always envisioned for yourself? Do you find yourself just getting through the day? Remember the bumper sticker that was so popular a few years ago, "Stuff Happens"?

If any of these questions have you shaking your head 'yes', then this Sunday is just for you. Pastor Joe Butler will be looking at how we go through life and stuff happens that causes us to give up on our dreams. And you are invited to come and learn to dream again.

Miracle Happens in St. Augustine

This past Saturday I received a call from a man named Andrew after he read the ad in the newspaper for our Healing and Impartation service. After talking with him for a short time I learned that he has had 3 strokes and had no movement in his left arm for 11 years. I prayed for him and he began to feel his arm tingle. So I encouraged him to come on Sunday to the service.


On Sunday Andrew was there ready for God's healing power to touch him. During the prayer time I prayed for him and commanded his arm to be healed. I asked him what he felt and he said it was like pain. I told him to begin to move his arm or do something that he could not do before. He immediately began to move his arm. He was able to lift it up half way. This was the first time in 11 years that he was able to move his arm. He began to cry and laugh and the place when nuts.


This is just the beginning. The outpouring is going to rock St. Augustine. Believe for more and do not be satisfied!

Healing Outpourning Continues in St. Augustine

This Sunday we will continue with a Healing and Impartation Service. If you need a miracle, come and experience the power of God.

We are meeting at the St. Augustine Community Theater inside the Ponce de Leon Mall next to J.C. Penney (2121 US 1 South St. Augustine, FL). The service begins at 10:30 am-doors open at 10:00 am.

Stepping Stone or Tombstone

During the dark days of World War II, there was a family who rose up and tried to make a difference. This family was the Ten Booms. As the Nazis invaded Holland, bringing terror with them, the Ten Booms began to help the Jewish people. During this time of great persecution, the family began to hide Jews in their home and shuttle them out of the country.

Finally, the dreaded day came for the Ten Booms. Nazi officials entered their home and arrested the entire family. As a result of their resistance to this foreign persecution, they were imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. Two of the daughters of the family were placed in the same death camp. Despite the death, pain, persecution and torture they witnessed, these two sisters never lost their faith and love for God. Their belief in God was so strong they even began to minister to others in this camp. But the day finally came that the German officials killed Corrie Ten Boom's sister. Many years later, Corrie was speaking at a church in Europe. When the service had concluded, a young man began to walk toward the lectern. As Corrie saw this man, a flood of emotions washed over her. All the pain and loss resurfaced. For he was the German soldier who helped to kill Corrie's sister. As the young man reached the lectern, he asked for Corrie's forgiveness for his actions during the war. This was one of the hardest requests that she had ever had. As she looked at him, she prayed for God's help.
This experience could have been her stepping stone or her tombstone.

As we travel on this pilgrimage called life, we are faced with many offenses and wrongs. At some point in your life, you will experience a time to become a stepping stone or a tombstone. Even today everyone will have a chance to become offended or to forgive. Your husband or wife may have offended you. The simple truth is, offenses will come! How you deal with them becomes our stepping stone to overcoming or our tombstone on the grave of unforgiveness. As Jesus was teaching on the mount, he gave his disciples instruction on what to do with an offense. Forgive! (Matthew 6:9-15)

But you may say to yourself, "I was offended." Jesus still says to forgive. Jesus' words here are very strong. He stated, "I will forgive you if you forgive others. If you do not forgive others, I will not forgive you." "How do I forgive?" is the question that now arises. It is simply by the grace of God. God is the only one who can give you the power to forgive. So ask him for His strength. There are also some practical things that we can do.

First, do not curse the offense. Thank God that even in the midst of the offense He will use it for your good.

Second, do not nurse it. Many times when the offense comes our way, we have a pity party. We need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves.

Thirdly, do not rehearse it. Usually when we are offended, we will rehearse the events to everyone who listen to us. Yes, you may need to talk to someone about what you have experienced, but do not continue to rehearse it with everyone.

Fourth, disperse it. How? Every day, ask God to take the offense. Ask God for the grace to forgive the one who has offended you. Then pronounce your forgiveness and pray for God's blessings upon the offender.

Fifth, God will reverse it! What was meant for evil against you can be turned around for your good. Jesus simply said to forgive. Call someone or write a letter today and release your forgiveness.

Today, you can have a stepping stone or a tombstone. The choice is yours!

Woman With Clubfoot Healed After 50+ Years

Linda was born in 1951 with Cerebral Palsy. She was premature, being born at 7 months and weighing approximately 4 lbs., 12 oz. When she was 4 & 1/2 Dr. Richard Walker lengthened her heel cords, but her right leg remained 5/8 " shorter than her left. She wore corrective shoes at night to keep her legs turned out. When she was 7 they turned her hips around. She wore leg braces until Jr. High and then she was put back into corrective shoes with bands. She started to fall again and her leg started to turn in and she has been using a walker for about 5 years. Linda says that God healed her speech and she is able to live on her own. She has been praying and asking God to make her legs the same length. Her friend invited her to the healing meeting and she says she felt the Lord touch her and it has been a very long time since that has happened. Her leg is now straight.

Linda came to the healing meeting on Sunday, June 8th. I had a Word of Knowledge after the worship through music time that someone was there with a knee problem. Linda came forward for prayer and was overcome by the Holy Spirit and fell to the ground. She laid there during the entire sermon and when she got up her right foot, which had been turned in, was straight. That same morning a lady by the name of Ellen came to visit the service. On Tuesday, June 3rd, I received a Word of Knowledge that someone with sleep apnea would be in the service. During the service he called out that someone was there with sleep apnea and Ellen came forward for prayer. Last Sunday, June 22nd, Ellen came back to church and shared with us that she knew God had touched her body. She also said that for four hours after the service, including her stop at Walmart, she felt like she was under a waterfall. She said that she is normally very high strung, and for four hours she had so much peace. She kept saying that she literally felt like she was standing under a waterfall. What she didn't know is that my 6 year old daughter told me after the service that she saw water being poured out over the congregation during the service. She has seen this once before and in that service several people said they felt like they were getting rained on.

Raised from the Dead-Florida Outpouring

Pastor Stephen reads the story of number 11 raised from the dead:
======================================================

Darla writes:
A young lady from our Choir Ministry came to your revival several weeks ago. On May 8th at choir practice our Worship Leader had the young lady tell of your Revival in Lakeland, FL.

Then our Worship Leader had the young lady pray for anyone in our choir that wanted prayer because she believes in the transfer of the Anointing. When the young lady prayed for me, in her prayer she mentioned Healing, Revival in my family, and Restoration. We did not know what was coming our way but our Lord did.

On Saturday morning May 17th at 2:00 am in the morning I received a phone call that my husband’s Aunt Val had had a heart attack. Val had called her sister Shelia (my mother-in-law) told her to come over, then Val called the paramedics herself, then her son Tim.

When Shelia got to Val's home the paramedics were waiting and Shelia told them to bust in the door. When they found Val she was laying face down, gray, and no pulse. The paramedics did CPR for eight minutes until they got a faint pulse. She was taken to the nearest hospital.

The doctor's accessed her and then had the family to come in. We were told that they were not sure if she had a heart attack or not but she was on a ventilator, they put her in an induced coma.

The doctor was more worried about brain damage because she had been without oxygen for so long and she had shown signs of some damage. The doctor was transporting her to another hospital to do a new procedure called Hypothermia - it drops your body temp to 75 degrees and it helps preserve the brain. She was transported at 5:00 am.

At 6:30 am her son received a call that a test was performed and there was no brain activity. Shortly thereafter, her heart stopped two more times - two more times being shocked, they gave her medicine to start her heart once and once they did CPR.

They doctors performed another test - still no brain activity. The doctors told the family that she only had 20% chance of living - but her mind would not be the same. If her heart stopped one more time she would not survive.

By this time they were telling us she had had several heart attacks. Val's son finally made the decision around 12:30 pm on Saturday to have her life support removed. This decision only came after much prayer - and God did give him total peace. The family was told to go say their good bye. Most of the family are Christians. As each one of us went in we had prayer with her.

Three of my sister-in-laws and my self anointed her with oil and had prayer. While we were praying, she would start to shiver from the top of her head - then it would go through her body to her feet. She did this several times.

One of us asked what was that - we knew the Lord was working on her - The nurse said it is only where she is warming up. While in the waiting room the family read Hebrew 11 - the faith chapter - we broke out in worship and song.

At about 3:15 was time we thought it was all going to be done - Val's son was told there was a problem with organ donor. Val had requested it but her son said no. He was afraid that no autopsy could be performed. So the organ donor corporation was called in… they are called CORE. They were over an hour away.

At this time some of the family thought that this was a bad diversion - they couldn't believe that when the decision was made and there was peace that it had all stopped.

When CORE finally came, they told her son that they would only use the liver and the kidney and it would not interfere with the autopsy. Once again, any family member that wanted to go back could. One last time, prayer came from the very last visitors.

We were told that CORE would contact the doctors in Pittsburg and see if they could use any organs, because once you are over 50 they usually don't. We all left around 6:00 waiting on the final call.

A family friend/pastor stayed - he asked the nurse - could you check and see if there is any blood pressure or pulse so I can tell the family - the nurse checked and there was nothing. All the machines had been taken off but the breathing tube. So the pastor/friend left.

When the nurse was with her she checked one more time- nothing - then she pulled out the tube - Val's hand went to her mouth - the nurse jumped and said that had to be a reflex - then Val opened her eyes.

The nurse was almost in shock - she called for another nurse - they started a blood pressure on her - Val took a breath - her heartbeat came back - she had a blood pressure - had Val asked for her son.

At 6:30 pm The family was called and said get back SHE IS ALIVE and talking a breathing on her own. WOW!!!! PTL!!!!!

Jesus stepped in when man stepped away - when doctor's could do no more - Jesus did the rest.

We all went to see her Saturday right after the call. She knew everyone. Sunday, she was more alert and carrying on conversations with us.

Healing Outpouring Rocks Lakeland-Why not St. Augustine?

What began as a week of meetings at Ignited Church in Lakeland, FL, has continued for the past 38 days. There has been an outpouring of God’s healing and Heaven has come to earth and touched the city of Lakeland. As the healings and miracles began, the crowds began to grow. The meetings moved from the 700 seat Ignited Church to a larger church, then to the Lakeland Civic Center and then to Tiger Baseball Stadium. Hundreds have come to a personal relationship with Jesus and thousands have been healed and received miracles. The deaf are hearing, the blind are seeing and the cripples are walking.

One of the marks of this move of God is people are receiving an impartation to carry this back to their communities. Five pastors from Ireland came to receive an impartation and have carried it back to Ireland. They have begun a series of meetings that is like what is happening in Lakeland. People from all over the world are flying to Lakeland to “come and get some.”

As this move of God spreads, why can’t it come to St. Augustine – the Nation’s Oldest City? I believe that the time has come for the healing power of God to be released in St. Augustine. We only need to want God to send His healing power upon our city.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. This is the day that the church celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the church.

Are you hungry for a move of God like this city has never seen? Come and join us as we cry out for the outpouring in our city. We will celebrate Pentecost with a Miracle and Healing Service Sunday at 10:30 am. If you need a miracle or healing come and expect God to touch your body. We meet at the St. Augustine Community Theater in the Ponce de Leon Mall next to J.C. Penney. For more information call 904-540-1624.

My Muslim Experience

This past Friday my family went to Orlando to spent the night and have a get away at Epcot on Saturday. Man, did we need the time away. That night we ate at a Chinese Buffet on International Drive. During the course of our meal I saw 2 tables of people who appeared to be Muslim. (All the women had head scarves on.) As I went to the restroom, I heard the Holy Spirit say go to their table and apologize for the behavior of Christians. There was this big emotional battle in my head. They will not hear me, remember that you wife’s nephew’s wife was in the bombing in Jerusalem that was set off by a Muslin, and on and on. But I remember the actions of my friends Tom Pelton and Steve Sjogren.

So, as I left the restroom, I walked over to the table and said excuse me to one of the men. I asked if they were Muslin and he responded yes. I put out my hand and said I Joe Butler I’m a pastor and I want to say please forgive us for the way Christians have treated you. There was a real puzzled look on the man’s face and then he smiled and said thank you. I told them to have a great weekend. After this every time that one of the men would walk by or see me they would smile and acknowledge me. It may have not been a huge act, but it touched the lives of a few people who need to know the Risen Savior.

Step out of your comforter zone. Embrace those who need Jesus. Don’t be religious. Be real!
