Hey I'm Taylor Cain, and I attend Pottsville High School, and I am 17. I just posted a prayer request for my school, and my youth group. God works through many different people even when that person might not have any type of clue. I just praise God, even when I feel like I'm down and can't go anymore, I know that is when Jesus Christ shows His mighty strength through you. When you're weak He makes you strong, just like in the Casting Crowns song. In James it tells us to "Count in pure joy when you fall into variuos trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces perserverance" This is truly amazing. Today, when I woke up I was feeling sick, and didn't think today was going to go well, but Jesus Christ showed that he was still working in me. No matter what God is going to work through you just let your light shine. Let your testimony be a witness for others. We are not promised tomorrow so live your life to the fullest for Jesus Christ. Make the word of God contagious. Remember do not be afraid of taking a risk it could save many lives. That Gods grace is amazing, and He gave it all for you. God Bless. your brother in Christ forever and ever - Taylor.

I posted a prayer request. I could read these prayer request all day. This is a a great site God lead me to. I bought some steel roots skate videos thats how I found it. But the prayer request I had posted was for me and a friend. Especcialy my friend. She was in Indianapolis womans prison facing 6 more months to one more year, out of a 2 or 2 and a half sentance. A day after I posted my prayer they decided to move her to A smaller different prison. All I got was a letter from her saying she got moved. And that was it , but I'll be getting another letter from her soon and start phone calls and visiting for my first time. But I think since God answered that prayer that way then her time could be shorter than expected. She said Its closer to where I live but I have not figured out exactly where yet. But I shed some tears when I got her letter. And I dont know why, when that happens to me I know Gods doing something great. Thank you all so much. For praying for my needs and for hers. Things are going very good for me too. God bless, Brad

Manufacturer Defect..:Return to Sender For years I have had to battle sickness. As a child I was diagnosed with asthma and severe multiple chemical sensitivity and total allergy syndrome. (Meaning allergic to just about everything on planet earth) I have had diagnosis of COPD, chronic bronchitis, chronic inflammatory disorder, dry mouth, (no right side saliva glands), and primary pulmonary hypertension. The information below will explain some of what I have had to endure as a child and adult. I have decided to share this with my friends. For so long I have been misunderstood and talked about because of ongoing and chronic illnesses. I have been hospitalized more times than I can count. I have preached healing and God has even allowed me to lay hands on people who have had cancer, hiv, and crooked limbs. In most cases healing was immediate. My problem was this: why can't I lay hands on myself and get healed? I have struggled with this for many years. One day, I was in the shower and I was having a woe it's me conversation with God. Understand that I always knew I would be healed, I just wanted to know when and why was it taking so long? There were days when I could not get out of bed. Days when breathing was most difficult. Days when I felt like cursing the day of my birth. I would shut down and isolate myself until I felt better. You see, the expectations of others were a factor also. People expected the mighty evangelist to just bounce back. I almost understood how Jesus felt when He was being mocked by cruel people saying, 'Others He saved, but himself he can't.' I told God that I have had enough! I told the enemy that I have had enough! The Lord reminded me of Psalms 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. It finally dawned on me. When you buy something from a store, it comes with a full warranty. If there is a defect, we return it to the manufacturer. (I am about to shout in my office) I also realized that if I get something in the mail that does not belong to me, I return it to the sender. (Sorry, I had to take a praise break on that one) Now I had to figure out if it was a manufacturer defect or did I receive someone else's mail? God spoke to me again with this scripture II Corinthians 4:17...for our light affliction is but a moment…. The Lord said to me…"Daughter, you have qualified to suffer." (I am about to run all through my house) I have had 23 straight days of absolutely great health! Yes I am counting. I may also add that I initially refused to take a calcium blocker (medication), because I did not want to acknowledge the problem. Wisdom kicked in and I am now on herbal supplements and a calcium blocker. The reason I mention the medication is because I thought it was an indictment to my faith to acknowledge these sicknesses and take this medication. I now thank God for wisdom stepping in. I still have faith. I believe that in a few short months, the doctor will take me off this medication. I had to tell the manufacturer about the defect. I returned anything that was not of God back to the enemy. I thank God for his lifetime warranty. A great manufacturer will always fix a defect. When you know your defect is not from God, but the enemy, return to sender right away. Don't open the package, just return to sender.
