Hello, Mr. Poe
Sorry it has taken so long to contact you. I think of you often.
Just the thought of you brings a smile to my face. Kind of weird
cause I hardly know you. I wanted to let you know you really
changed my life. I see thing so different now. Before I came to
Alabama I felt so burden with guilt. I have a lot of things I have
not dealt with in my life and I just felt what was to point of
asking for the burdens to be lifted or for forgiveness when I
probably was going to ”mess up" again. A Crazy thing happened to me
on my fight home to Austin. During the flight from Huntsville to
Houston, I was so nervous because I only had a 30min lay over to get
myself and my 2 kids (6 & 17months) across the airport for my next
flight to Austin. So all I could do is pray that I get though this
(maybe make it a little easy, OK maybe I was asking for to much HA
HA). So we land and we are late, now I have 15 minutes to get
my gate. We get off the plane and I begging my son to run. He is
crying because he has an awful headache. Honesty I have ever seen my
son refuse to run until this day. So a lady came up behind me and
picked him up and started running with me to help me get to my gate.
All of the sudden a guy dress like he worked at the airport calmly
walked up to up and said " Ladies it going to be OK, your going to
make you flight" We looked at him like he had lost his mind, of
course we reply with " are you kidding we have 10 min before my
flight leaves. As we get to the train we miss it. (Remember I prayed
for this to be easy :), The guy still very calmly insist everything
was going to be fine. We get on the train and he sits next to my son
and was telling him to take care of his mommy and to be a big boy
for me. It this point we are at about 5 min until the flight leaves.
We leave the train; he still calmly is walking next me as
I was running. Still insisting for me not to worry. I
turn to thank to lady for helping me, she left for her gate and I
turn to him and say " Thanks you so" he stops me by holding his hand
up, and said " don't worry we all heard you" as he
pointed up. He gave me this look like I knew exactly what he was
talking about. Then he turns and walks away. I suddenly felt that
God was with me, even if I don't know it!! I know in my heart that
was an angel sent to me. I just want to tell you this neat story. I
hope you are doing well. Thank you for being you. You are a
wonderful man!! I'm sure you hear it all the time, but know it is
really coming from my heart!!

Bro.
Poe, I wanted to write and give you my victory report. My name is
Dena Bumgarner and I attend Royalwood. I think you will remember
me, but if you don't you will enjoy my victory report anyway! I
have been attending Royalwood since 1997. My husband was a
backslider and I had never been in church. We came and he prayed
back through, but I on the other hand wasn't so sure about all
this! I was pregnant and you started preaching a revival at our
church towards the end of the year. During your revival, I got
baptized. I prayed that night but didn't get the Holy Ghost and was
actually pretty upset about it. You saw that I was upset and came
over to talk to me and I will never forget what you told me. You
used a demonstration that is very simple, but has helped me when I
was at my very lowest points. You held out your handkerchief and
said "this is the holy ghost, if you want it get it!" So I slowly
took the handkerchief out of your hand...and you said.."No, if you
want something from God, you have push past everything and grab it,
and not be timid." I soon received the Holy Ghost after that
conversation. I said all this to say, that may seem simple and I am
sure you don't even remember it, but I have faced many hard
times since that conversation. My husband backslid at the end of
2000, and just prayed back through the weekend after TOR this year.
I have pushed forward and continued my walk with God through some
horrible things...and God has strengthened me and taught me many
valuable lessons. Those words have helped me push through some very
trying times, when I thought my marriage was over and my family was
done! I wanted to share this with you, because I know that you and
Sis Poe have faced some low times in your ministry and felt like
everyone was against you, but you kept on going..just like you told
me to do..and God has and will continue to bless you for it. Thank
you for your ministry! I hope that you and Sis Poe and your
children have a wonderful holiday season. We will continue to pray
for your ministry.
Thank
you Dena Bumgarner
Bro.
Poe, Well, I have been listening to and re-reading over
and over your teachings on spiritual warfare, it has greatly helped
me get the concepts into my mind about how to bind and loose, how to
discern spirits that work together, and how Satan uses our natural
emotions to try and control us, just to name a few things.About a
month ago, the Lord really began laying my sister, Shelly, and her
husband, Bud, on my heart. I have prayed for them before, but I was
really feeling a strong burden to fast and pray for them. My
sister, Angela, in Chicago, also began feeling the same thing around
the same time. We began fasting together on the same day each week,
and using spiritual warfare to bind and loose spirits in their
lives. They both have a lot of emotional issues, and my brother in
law uses marijuana, and has really no skills in coping with life.
My sister really doesn't either, but she has become a Jehovah's
Witness in the last several years, and relies heavily on their
teachings of "self-control". Angela and had both begun to feel a
door opening for them, because for years, trying to talk with my
sister specifically would just drive her further away (through the
years she has had a very negative concept of Pentecostals, due to
things she saw and experienced growing up). Well, Sunday night, my
mom called and told me that my brother in law and sister had
been having arguments over the weekend, and Bud was trying to tear
the house apart, so Shelly lured him outside. She managed to get
back inside and lock the doors, and then he put a noose in a rope
and tried to hang himself. He is very tall, and the branch wasn't
high enough to break his neck. Yesterday, two days after the
incident, he was awake, and was able to recognize everyone, and was
trying to hug everybody, which is a great sign that there is no
brain damage. I can't imagine what could have happened if my sister
and I hadn't been sensitive to God's nudging. We had been praying
for the opportunity to talk to him (he has never had any association
with Pentecost, except the negativity from my sister). Angela and I
believe that this was an answer to prayer, and that our sister will
be saved through the change she sees in Bud's life when he comes
into the truth. She has always put a lot of trust in medications,
and believes wholeheartedly in psychology, and all of that other
garbage. We are praying that her eyes will be opened when she sees
that no doctor has been able to cure him emotionally, but that Jesus
Christ not only can, but will. Another way this has been a blessing
is that through telling others how it has been helping me, several
people are wanting your CD. I've also needed to ask you about the
number of messages you preached. The case I have only has three
CD's, but it seems as if I remember you teaching more. I remember
one lesson when you taught on fear specifically, but you taught in
the annex, and so I do not know if it was recorded or not. I would
not want to miss anything. But one thing is for sure: I am
convinced that EVERYONE needs this series, regardless of what form
it is in! It is something that needs to be listened to or read over
and over again. Thank you once again for your ministry. Only
eternity will truly be able to tell the overall impact you have
made!!!
With
gratitude, Nicole
Bro.
Poe, Times of Refreshing this year was awesome (as always). Just to
let you know something that happened at TOR, Saturday morning, after
Bro. McClain had preached, my husband was standing out by our
church's booth, which was selling cookbooks. These two ladies had
walked up to look at the booth, and mentioned that they were staying
in the hotel for another conference that was being held. My husband
began telling them about TOR, and invited them to come that night.
They said they would pray about it that afternoon in their hotel
room. Well, they did come, and that night after the service, one of
them was slain in the spirit, and had been filled with the Holy
Ghost. She said that after you asked the entire congregation to
worship and pray, she really felt God's presence sweep over the
entire place, and that is when she got the Holy Ghost. Thank you
for being obedient to God, and sensitive to what God wants. I am
loving the time re-listening to this series on Spiritual Warfare. I
will have to tell you sometime how one of them changed my entire
life the night you preached it. Anyway, thank you again. I'll
contact you soon that I have finished the Spiritual Warfare
Series!!!
God
bless, Nicole Blakeney
Bro. Poe, I just
had to let you know TOR was truly TOR for me personally. I was
extremely amazed thru out the whole three days of service, now I see
why I went thru tremendous torment in my mind the three days before
the conference the devil didn’t want to loose me. I wasn’t going to
attend because I was just giving up on the situation I was facing,
the only reason why I showed up the first night was because I had
signed up to be a hostess for Thursday and I like to keep my word,
so my plan was to just come, do the hostess assignment and leave,
but as the praise team began to sing, the anointing drew me in to a
seat, I’m so glad I stayed. I have to be honest I expected just
normal services, but that was not the case, Saturday night I was
completely delivered from that nasty, dangerous spirit of
depression, not only that, the spirit of anxiety, anger, loneliness,
it all left when I went to the altar when you called for prayer for
depression, Saturday night itself was unexplainable, I have no words
for how awesome it was, I did not want to go home. I’m so glad
everyone followed the Holy Ghost. I slept so relaxed Sunday night I
was late for work this morning, Deliverance is truly a Blessing.
Keep on preaching crazy Pastor Poe, and keep on preaching the Truth
God Bless Caneke

Dear Bro. Poe,
Thank God that we are well. I loved your sermon Saturday night at
Denver. I appreciated the struggles you told of going through to be
whom and what God called you to be. I felt the entire church
sympathized with you.
Such testimonies! Surely that is the way I remember God moving in
the 60's and 70's in my Dad's church in Lake Charles, Louisiana. So
powerful! So fearfully wonderful! Surely God is to be feared above
all. And yet I have been privileged to know His tender mercies. Of
course, the price I paid: lost my mental health, my small wealth, my
fiancée, my car, and my place to stay! But it was my doing, after
God had suddenly warned me; in tongues and interpretation, no less.
What an unbeliever the devil will make of the most precious saint of
God!
Still, thanks for your Times of Refreshing! Such an "old" move of
God. Pardon my lack of being able to express it well. I know, and
hope to know more, that God never changes. I do not know, but can
only guess the price you pay for telling the truth! Thanks so much
for your dedication. NEVER stop.
My prayers, and when you come to Denver, my money are with you.
Thanks, as I said, and your friend, hopefully, in the Lord,
Daniel Wilkins
Bro Poe, 1st thing.
get this. Dec 2004 you prophesied that when Bro Daniels and I ran
around the church every man should've run. So God was going to bless
us 100 fold.
-
I gave our last 100.00 in the offering at the beginning
of service.
-
in a few minutes Pastor Littlefield gave us each 100.00
(he called seed money)
-
I wondered all year when it would happen, in fact as
always it seemed most of the time we were struggling financially
-
then Dec 2005, right after you had visited again, my
boss quit, and my company asked that I put in for her job, so I
did
-
The interview process was long, 4 interviews spanning
from Dec until Mid Feb
-
BUT this week I was offered the position as the East
Texas Area Director of Operations over 4 Assisted Living
facilities.
-
Get this------------------------- > a 20k (that's 20
Thousand dollars a year raise)
-
that’s 200
fold of that 100.00 dollar seed
-
Me, Pastor and God all got a raise, don’t worry you'll
get some too.
IT PAYS TO RESPOND
WHEN THE HOLY GHOST NUDGES YOU. HE WON'T PUSH, JUST OBEY THAT HOLY
GHOST DRAW TO DO SOMETHING IN RESPONSE TO HIS PRESENCE
Bro Poe, I was at
the TOR in Huntsville and heard you state that in two months of
requesting testimonies of miracles; you have only had 2
submissions. Here is a testimony of something that happened to my
family. If you want to, you have my permission to edit/print it. I
have been thoroughly by your ministry. This is my 3d TOR and they
keep getting better. I am looking forward to the time when the
Tennessee District will be site to a TOR! In the meantime, let's
have another one at Pastor Taylor's church. I would like to sow
seed until Tennessee TOR is a reality. How do I become a National
Supporter?
In HIS Service,
Randall Yeoman
Brother Poe, The
Lord has performed a miracle in our lives through your ministry. My
husband and I had been married 8 years in March of 2004. We had
been trying to conceive a baby for several years. Given my history,
in that area of my health, positive results did not look promising.
We kept telling ourselves that if we did not conceive by a certain
date, we would set up an appointment with a fertility doctor. The
appointed date would come and go and we would neglect to set up an
appointment. I believe we were afraid of the results we would
receive. At one point in our marriage we considered adoption. On
September 11, 2004, during the Houston Times of Refreshing
Conference, you made an alter call for all the ladies that had been
trying to conceive but had been unable to. I ran up to the altar
and you prayed for all the ladies that answered the call. On
November 24, 2004 we found out that we were expecting our first
child. I had a wonderful and healthy pregnancy; and Isabella Bianca
Guerra was born on July 28, 2005. Thank you Brother Poe for
preaching the truth and reminding us that our God is a God of
miracles. God Bless you and your family, Frank, Martha & Isabella
Guerra
Love the
testimonies and hope that you come back to stockton real soon. you
really are used of God and thank him for men like you in our lives!
blessings in Jesus Name, Joy Purdue
BRO POE, IT HAS
BEEN SO NICE HAVING YOU PREACH HERE IN RIVERSIDE CA. I HAVE NOTICE
THAT OUR CHURCH HAS BEEN REACHING NEW LEVELS, AND MIRACLES ARE
TAKING PLACE. ON BEHALF OF THE YOUTH OF RIVERSIDE WE WANT TO SAY
"YOU ROCK"!!!!
I enjoy this site
every time I visit, Jesus is so amazing! God Bless you all!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your messages, but most of all I have been inspired to go higher in the calling in which I have been called. Outside of being in the choir, I have been
involved in death row ministry since March of this year. God is opening doors in Mansfield, OH and ushering in His Word and using chaplains and pastors (UPCI) to reach out to death row inmates.
You have indeed stirred the Holy Ghost within me to not allow anyone or anything stand in the way of this ministry, no matter what the cost. May the Lord continue to bless you and
keep you on FIRE, you have been a blessing and an encouragement to me at CLC, I will be leaving for Hawaii to help start a prison ministry Jan 05, meanwhile I will be
in Mansfield, OH 15 Nov-Dec. If there is any advise or wisdom you can share with me please do. Thank you.
Love in Jesus

Brother Poe, While you were here doing a revival at our church I believe I sat front row most every Sunday night service with my best friend Ashley. We were called out what felt
like several times as one of your examples in front of the church one of the last services you preached here I was one of the young ladies called up to the front and slain in the spirit. Well, I am
writing you because the last service you held at our church I was ill. I had a terrible stomach ache and had all day long. I attended church and sat in complete agony the whole service. Well the
alter call was a jumping and running one, so I didn't feel much like participating but you had said we would receive our blessing the next day. I have been praying for a job since July and it has
been difficult for me, while not having one. I am 17 and I live here with my sisters attending the private school. I pay for myself to attend so I was afraid with not having a job I wouldn't be able
to attend anymore and it is my senior year. well I decided to sacrifice my pain and jump to show God my faith. After service I was in so much pain I was in tears the next day. Ii left school early
because I was still sick and I went home to sleep. I was wakened by the telephone and it was a manager at a place I had recently applied at. She requested an interview with me the next day and I
received the job. Since I have been there for almost a week and a half I have had many chances to witness and tell my co-workers about my church. I just wanted to let you know and thank you for being
such a good preacher. I plan to someday become a missionary to South Africa and I hope to be as anointed as you are, so I can make an impact through God's word to souls just like you do.
Sarah Lingbloom
Bro. Poe, thank you so much for coming to Stockton and helping me see that we needed to "sanctify our home". I cleaned out several things and what a difference. My children's
attitudes are better and we are all more excited than ever!! Jesus has changed us through your ministry and we are grateful. Come Back to Stockton soon. We love and appreciate you and you are always
welcome "HOME" to Stockton. God Bless you and your wonderful family. We look forward to meeting them one day.

Brother Poe my husband and I were visiting Stockton while you were preaching there and were very touched by your message. My husband had only been in church for about a year just after
he got out of jail. Something got stirred up inside him when he was there. He got a lot of your DVD's and began to watch them. Through listening to you your testimonies the Holy Spirit began to work in his
life. He has had break through after break through. He received the Holy Ghost for the first time back at our home church (SLF Pastor Jeff Gardner) the week after you left Stockton. He's life has changed in
a way he never thought possible. He tells me he always knew he would be in church with me one day but he never thought he would be sold out for God like he is. He continues to watch your DVD's and get
something knew out the every time. He shares them with people that God puts in his path. We now believe that God has placed a calling on his life. His name is Lynton Esquivel remember him in your
prey’s for you truly impacted his walk with the Lord. He hopes that one day he reaches people like you do. Thank you for being so real and so honest with you life you have inspired us. I thank God
he brought us to Stockton while you were there. May God bless all you do.

Bro. Poe, I had the privilege of meeting you for the first time back in January. I'm a believer but want to be a stronger believer. I came upon your website and had to order the towel. It
has called me to have one. My husband and I are in the same vote as that lady. We have been trying to conceive and after 2 years, we still won't give up. Thank you for your inspiration and willingness to
keep going.

God Bless You Pastor & Sister Poe: what a blessing it is to read the wonderful testimonies of the save as well as the unsaved. God is moving by His Spirit through your ministry. My
sister, sister Betty Smith of Houston, Texas informed me of your ministry and gave me your web site information. Sister Betty is a member of Apostolic Temple Church in Pasadena, Texas. I pray that God will
continue to use you and your wife in a mighty way. To God be the Glory for the great things He has done.

I just wanted to briefly share a testimony of God's gift of healing that my wife, Ann, received. She was miracously healed from lupus disease, which would leave her helpless to the relentless
pain in her joints. Medications were limited in success and the pain would always return. All of this changed on the summer of 2003 revival at Royalwood with pastor Macey. During one of the powerful services, my
wife received her healing. Thank you Brother Poe for being with us on that summer.

Bro Poe you are God sent. My wife and I have so hungered for a move of God We've heard about it seen it in the past and now it is here again. Thank you for your commitment to preach
the gospel without fear or favor of man. We need a old fashion move of the Holy ghost which is now happening. We are praying for you and your family and looking forward to the revival services ahead.
See you soon.

Brother Poe when he visited the Pentecostals Of Weslaco, I got baptized in Jesus Name. I was 12 years old and that is when I decide that Jesus was not pleased the way I was living
so I changed my ways. When I was 14 on fathers Day this year, back at my church I gave it my all and trusted god was going to bless me with the holy ghost and allow me to speak in tongues. I will
never forget this that moment. By the way the preaching you did in Harlingen for times of refreshing was so inspiring. Thanks. You are like the FUNNIEST preacher I have met EVER.

Christy and Melanie
Bro. Poe, I just wanted to let you know about a miracle I have received this week. My family goes to Eva, but I live out of town and I go to my father-in-law's church in Tuscaloosa.
When my husband is on nights, and we are not having service, I have been going to the revival at Eva. Bro. Wilbanks said the other night that God was truly blessing the people that have been supporting
the Revival. I know I have not attended near as much as I have wanted to but God has been blessing me anyway!! I am a substitute teacher and my husband and I figured out that in order for us to make
ends meet, I had to work ten days a month. In December, I only worked two days, in January five days, this month (after going to revival) I am scheduled for 10 and a half days so far!! Also, I have
been worried about other financial obligations, but today I just told God that I didn't know how He was going to do it, but He was just going to have to take care of this need. I even told Him that it
would be nice to get an extra paycheck. My husband just called from work to let me know that he is getting paid for .2 of an hour for the past 2 years
back pay, which equals EXACTLY what an extra
paycheck, would be!!! In our town, there is an old Service Merchandise building right next to a super Wal-Mart. I went today and anointed with oil and claimed it for the sight of our new church!!
If God can pay my bills when I KNEW that there was no way, HE CAN DO ANYTHING!! I am so grateful. Keep on Bro. Poe...Your doing it right! Thanks!
Stephanie Egan
It was last year you were at Woodlawn. I don't remember the title of the message, but it was on "ask, and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened". You ask everyone that had
a need to come to the front. My husband and I came in faith. We had a financial need. You told my husband his blessing was on the way.
My husband works offshore. He went back to work the next week. When he got there, they had moved him up in position, and making $2.00 more dollars an hours. Also the same week, I got
a $1.00 raise. My husband had only been with this job 2 months. It was totally unexpected. I had just got a small raise a few weeks earlier. My boss came to me, and said I had been doing such a
wonderful job; she wanted to give me a better raise.
God is so GOOD!!!!! He will never fail us, if we will just trust in him. Your website was such a blessing. We hope you get to come to Woodlawn in the near future to hold revival. May
God bless you and your family.
Jamie and Tonya Lambert
It was 5 years ago on April 4, 1996 when the Lord blessed my husband and I with triplets, two daughters and one son. One day after their birth, Grace, the youngest of the
three, passed away from a heart condition and Kati and Jacob were left in the NICU to continue their journey to become healthy and leave the hospital. It wasn't but a short time late when the
doctor's notified us that Kati had a grade 2-3 brain bleed they were monitoring. We were told the bleed would affect her motor skills, along with walking and talking. Since we had
already gone through the trauma of losing a child we did not want to publicize that there was anything wrong with another one of our children. Kati and Jacob continued to thrive and were brought
home from the hospital almost seven weeks after their birth. We were told to bring Kati back to the hospital for her follow-up brain scan six weeks after they came home. They would continue
every 2 months scanning her to see what, if any, changes had occurred. The bleed would take up to a year for the doctor's to monitor and see how it was going to affect Kati.
In general - this was going to be a long process. On Sunday, July 15, 1996 my mother and sister were spending the weekend with us and came to church that night to help with
Kati & Jacob. Bro. Poe was preaching that night and during the alter service I was standing at the back pew by my children. I watched as he (Bro. Poe) paced back and forth across the front
and finally he turned and walked back and stopped and looked directly at me. All I could think was "Oh - not me!" -- I get so embarrassed to be called out. Then he said it ...
"Shelli, why don't you come up here and get a blessing while your mom and sister are here to watch the kids." I hesitated for a moment and looked behind me to see if the other Shelli in our
church was anywhere near me... maybe he was talking to her. Not so - it was me. I turned and thought, ok Lord - here I go. When his hand touched my forward all I can remember is a
warm flooding my soul. The one thing that stuck out in my mind was something he had said while praying for me. He told me that the Lord was going to touch my life and that to be thankful for
the Lord had blessed me with a healthy child. All I kept thinking was I have two healthy children... why did he say just one? The next day I had to go to work and my mother and sister took
Kati for her checkup. After her scan the dr. came out and couldn't release any information but to the parents and we were not there. When mother called me at work she said the dr. just kept
saying, "Is this the same child?" He had all of her previous scans and just kept saying the same thing over and over to the technician. It wasn't long after that we found out that the bleed
was completely gone! -- Yes -- completely gone! Our pediatrician and the neonatologist both were speechless. All I could say was Thank the Lord. That Wednesday night we were
back at church and in walked Bro. Poe. He stopped to speak and I said to my husband, "Have you told him what happened?" Keven said no and started to tell him when Bro. Poe stopped him in
mid sentence and said - "Wait, I want to tell you something first." He (Bro. Poe) went on to say that he didn't know what we were about to tell him, but he had something to tell us. He said
when he was walking across the platform on Sunday night the Lord spoke to him and said for him to go to the other side and pray for someone. When he turned and walked back across he stopped and
look up and I was standing at the back of the church. He called my name and I hesitated. He asked if I remembered. I told him yes and that I was looking to see if he was truly talking
to me. He asked me to come forward and I did. He said when I started walking down the isle the Lord spoke to him and said, "I just healed her child because she obeyed!" I started crying
at that point and Keven told him what had just happened on Monday at the hospital!!! I will never forget that moment -- Bro. Poe did not know about Kati, but the Lord did and the Lord was merciful
and gracious and healed her little body at only 3 1/2 months old. A year and a half later we were expecting another child - our second son, John. I had just been to the doctor on a Friday and
was given unexpected news. The doctor was fairly certain that the child I was carrying had the same fatal heart condition of our daughter Grace. Being put under the stress all over again my
body went into pre-term labor and I was told to go to bed. Sunday morning Bro. Poe was going to be at church so I went. I was fine until the alter call when I started contracting. I was
only 4 1/2 months at the time. Bro. Poe had already walked out the side door going to the office when he came back into the sanctuary and walked my way. I could not stand to my feet. He
laid his hand on my head and I remember his prayer to this day -- he rebuked the pain and suffering and instantly it was gone - he went on to pray that I have a completely normal pregnancy with no
complications. At this time he did not know what the Dr. had told us just 2 days prior. After church I told him what had happened and that I wasn't even supposed to be out of bed.
He looked me square in the eyes and said - "Shelli, Do Not Be Afraid! - the Lord will Not Fail You!" It was like a bolt of lightening - and I believed it with everything in me. We went for all of
the additionally testing on Monday. Due to my previously complicated history the head of OB/GYN was the one doing the tests. I just kept thinking about what Bro. Poe had told me - "No Fear".
The Dr. began to smile and looked at us and said the most precious words - "Looks like you have a HEALTHY son!" John was born without complications 3 1/2 months later and is a very healthy 3 1/2 year old
today. We serve a Mighty, Mighty God!!!

I am from the church in Eva. I have been checking your website waiting for the testimonies to flood in about all that God did at the Hope Rally. I haven't seen any yet, so I thought
I would write and let you know a few things myself. My husband received the Holy Ghost close to a year ago and was Baptized in Jesus' name. I would like to say that he was totally changed, but to be
honest it's been a slow go. But I have seen a change in him especially since the Hope Rally. He has had a boldness to come over him like I have never seen! When he saw that woman get up out of her wheel
chair and walk around that auditorium, his faith skyrocketed! He has a hunger in him that wasn't there before. Another thing happened. We are doing follow-ups on the people that filled out a HOPE card.
My mom went for her follow-up. This couple had brought there granddaughter to the Hope Rally. She was a baby and her eyes could not focus on anything. They would go in different directions. They said they
were going to have to do surgery to keep her eyes straight. But God healed her at the Hope Rally and her eyes have been straight every since! We appreciate yours and your family's sacrifice, and we appreciate
you letting God use you.

I am writing you to let you know that the lord used your ministry in a mighty way. You were recently at Bro Bookers and my father and mother were here in town to see the
doctors at Loma Linda medical center because my dad has cancer of the right lung. My parents live in Sula Montana. I believe that Jesus not only healed his body but more
important, He received
the holy ghost and was baptized in Jesus name and my mother is seeking the Holy ghost. Thank you and we will never forget you.

DEAR BRO. POE,
IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR (2001) I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. THE DR. TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PARTICULAR CANCER IN ANYONE MY AGE BEFORE. THIS TYPE OF
CANCER (ADENOCARSINOMA OF THE CERVIX) WAS NOT THE TYPICAL CANCER OF THE CERVIX. IT IS AN AGGRESSIVE CANCER THAT CAN SPREAD THROUGH THE BODY RAPIDLY. CONSIDERING I WAS NINE YEARS BEHIND ON MY ANNUAL
TESTS, THE DOCTORS WERE CONCERNED THAT THE CANCER MAY HAVE ALREADY SPREAD IN OTHER PLACES INCLUDING MY LYMPH NODES AND OTHER GLANDS.
WHILE GETTING MY MEDICAL RECORDS TOGETHER, WE FOUND AN ERROR
FROM FOURTEEN YEARS AGO. IT WAS A TEST THAT HAD CAME BACK WITH ABNORMAL CELLS. SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER THE DR. HAD OVERLOOKED IT!!!!!!! KEEP IN MIND THE CANCER I HAD IS AGGRESSIVE. THIS CONCERNED US EVEN
MORE; AT THIS POINT WE WERE REALLY CONCERNED THE CANCER HAD SPREAD.
THE DOCTORS PREPARED ME FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT SURGERIES AND CHEMOTHERAPY. THEY WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE ALL IT HAD GONE UNTIL THEY
WENT IN FOR SURGERY. I WAS SCARED! I KNEW I NEEDED PRAYER AND NEEDED TO BE PRAYED FOR. YOU HAD PREACHED A REVIVAL FOR US A SHORT TIME EARLIER AND ENDED UP HOLDING A HEALING RALLY! I PLAYED THE TAPES
OVER SEVERAL TIMES. YOU SAID "IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL FOR HIS CHILDREN TO BE SICK AND THAT WE SHOULD REBUKE THE DEVIL! " WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID OVER AND OVER. I ALSO FOUND THE SCRIPTURES IN THE
BIBLE TO BACK IT UP. YOU SAID GOD IS NOT A LIAR AND THAT IF WE PRAY WITH FAITH AND STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD WE WILL BE HEALED! YOU DIDN'T SAY WE MAY BE HEALED. YOU SAID WE WOULD BE HEALED. I ALSO HAVE
A WONERFUL CHURCH FAMILY THAT WERE PRIVILEGED ENOUGH TO HEAR YOU PREACH. I BELIEVE THEY PRAYED THE SAME WAY I DID. (JUST THE WAY YOU TAUGHT US TO.) I HAD MY SURGERY, MUCH SMALLER THAN WHAT WE WERE PREPARED
FOR, AND GUESS WHAT????????? NO CANCER!!! I HAD HAD TWO BIOPSIES EARLIER THAT SHOWED CANCER AND NOW THER WASN'T ANY CANCER TO BE FOUND! THANK YOU JESUS!
THIS IS A DAY AND AGE WHERE MOST PREACHERS ARE
AFRAID TO PREACH ON HEALINGS AND MIRACLES, NOT TO MENTION STANDARDS. I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU AND BRO. MACEY FOR STANDING TALL ON THE WORD OF GOD; AND FOR NOT COMPROMISING. THANK YOU,
TAMMMIE BRANDES
Bro. Poe,
We just wanted to give God the glory and report to you the miracle in our lives. when you were here last June, you prayed for us to have a baby, and gave us a
"towel"... well, guess what?... I'm pregnant!!! We are looking forward to you coming here in July. You told me to send the "towel" back to you when
it happened, but if you don't mind I will wait till then to
give the "towel" back unless you want it sooner. Our God is still a on time God, yes he is... I know we will see you at IMPACT and maybe before...and the web site was tremendous... preach
on brother!
Bro. & Sis. Time Madden
