I've always chosen extremely complex online casino games for my entertainment because only this way does the interest and desire to complete the game with a victorious conclusion grow. Additionally, it develops and thus increases the individual's intellectual level, which is critical for self-development. Additionally, abrupt and unexpected changes during the process have a beneficial influence on cognitive speed, which appeals to me. Developing such mental qualities in oneself results in increased mental activity, enabling me to win at online casino slots https://www.buba.games/, bringing incredible pleasure and delight of triumph.

Once I did not know how to play poker, but subsequently I was very interested in this card game and I began to study. Gradually acquired skills and became an avid poker player, and very successful. Now I beat game clubs and players on a professional level, especially when I play online casino https://jennycasino.com/ . The conditions are good and it is convenient to use the Internet portal, and the winnings are encouraging.

A living miracle By BRANDON A. PERRY Indianapolis Recorder | 0 comments

Miracle Narrative on Pastor Richard & Lady Renita

If you want to see a miracle, just visit Pastor Richard Thompson.

Many who have met him would say that he is, indeed, a living miracle; a modern-day Lazarus given a second (and third) chance at life.

Within the last four years, he has survived major medical challenges that would have ended the ministry and life and of anyone who had lesser faith and strength.

"My faith went through quite a few fights," said Thompson, senior pastor of Abundant Life World Outreach Ministries in Indianapolis.

After dedicating the time that was needed to win those fights, Thompson is now resuming active service as a pastor. He will celebrate his return to ministry during a special service this Sunday at 4 p.m. at True Victory Church of God in Christ, 1566 N. Columbia Ave.

It seems fitting that the service will take place on the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Thompson's experiences have given him, his family and his ministerial colleagues a greater sense of what resurrection is about.

Thompson's challenges began in May of 2007 when he suffered a stroke, which partially paralyzed his left side and temporarily limited the use of his speech and limbs. He made a full recovery and a triumphant return to ministry until October 2008, when he suffered what appeared to be a major heart attack.

Emergency surgery was performed to save Thompson's life, and he was in a coma for nine days. Doctors discovered that Thompson's problem was greater than a typical heart attack - he had a rupture in his aorta. He was passed from one surgeon to another, because the first was afraid to perform a risky operation to repair the aorta.

"He told me, quite literally, ‘I could kill you. I can't do it,'" Thompson said, giving quiet reflection on his ordeal while sitting in the True Victory sanctuary with his wife, Renita.

Eventually, Methodist Hospital surgeon, Dr. John Fehrenbacher, agreed to perform the surgery, which took 12 hours.

"At that point I was clinically dead," Thompson said. "They have to shut your body down, drain all of the blood and freeze your body so that you won't bleed to death during the surgery."

Renita remained by her husband's side, encouraging him on a daily basis, even at times when he was in a coma and could only receive her words subconsciously.

"My husband is very strong and resilient," she said. "We faced some dark days, but I would encourage him not to get down and remember that brighter days were ahead."

During the surgery, Thompson received a new aortic valve and restoration of the aorta and three arteries.

"They gave me brand new parts," said a smiling Thompson, showing he still has his sense of humor.

He survived the initial ordeal and was sent home to recover, but he had to take in his nutrients through a feeding tube for three months, and his weight dropped from 265 to 197 pounds. Thompson also suffered from other harmful complications such as pancreatitis, abnormal kidney function and an inflamed liver.

Once again, he returned to ministry, certain that his medical maladies were behind him. However, in January of 2009, Thompson was rushed to the hospital after experiencing what he thought was a severe attack from asthma, a condition he had dealt with since childhood. Doctors, however, discovered Thompson had congestive heart failure, which can lead to a build up of fluid in the lungs that causes drowning.

His physician, Dr. Michael Robinson of Indiana Heart Hospital, ordered him to take full rest. All of his ministry activities were suspended, and family members resumed stressful household responsibilities. Thompson had to also leave his full time job as a Greyhound bus driver, which greatly impacted the family's financial stability.

He credits his belief in God as the source of his strength, along with support from fellow ministers in the COGIC community, and the loving assistance of his family, including Renita and their five grown children, two daughters and three sons ranging in age from 19 to 30.

Brandon, the youngest son and Abundant Life's youth minister, showed particular dedication in helping his parents during the most difficult time of their lives.

"I don't know what I would have done without him," Thompson said. "There were times when he would cut my hair, or shave and feed me."

"He gave up a lot as a teenager to help his dad get through this," Renita added. "It's amazing because many young people would not put their life on hold like that."

Thompson's medical problems were challenging enough, but the family also experienced hardship when he was denied Social Security benefits after going on disability. Brandon wrote letters about the situation to both President Barack Obama and Sen. Evan Bayh. Following a congressional inquiry and considerable attention from local television media, benefits were restored to Thompson.

Now, after taking over a year of rest, Thompson is happily returning to the church he established in 2004. Services will be held temporarily in the True Victory sanctuary.

Thompson encourages others facing medical setbacks to never give up.

"One thing I learned during the process of recovery is to give God praise for everything he provides," the pastor stated as he held the hand of his wife. "Continue to give him praises despite the circumstances, and he will hear you."

Another element of advice Richard and Renita Thompson were happy to share involved the "secret" to a happy, lasting marriage.

"You have to know when to keep your mouth shut," Thompson said as Renita laughed. "You have to know when to get out of arguing and get into prayer."

Hello my brothers and sisters, my name is Evelyn. And it is only by the Grace and Mercy of God who loved me more than I loved myself, that I am here today to share my testimony with all of you.

I was nine years old when I first learned what alcohol was what it would do. I mean my first drink knocked me out cold. Even after having that happen, I still kept on trying to steal alcohol. But by the time I turned fourteen I had become really become good at stealing alcohol and getting drunk when my parents would have a party. During this time I was going to junior high school and going to night school in order to finish school early. You see I was an honor student. It was one evening after I got out of school that I was waiting for the bus on the cormer of Minnesota Ave. and Benning Rd. in North East Washington, D.C., when three very large men grabbed me right off the corner in front of a lot of people and raped me in the most horrible ways. I was turn up in mind and body as I withdrew from my father and my brothers, well pretty much all men. It was then I really learn how to drink, or should I say shut the world out.

By the time I was seventeen I was becoming as wild and uncaring about my life as I could be. At the age of eighteen I was expecting my first child by my first husband who turned out to be abusive and deadly. But that wasn't enough, I left him nine and kept going back for more beatings. He beat me up this one time until I almost died during child birth. And I stiil went back, until after my third child, finally I had enough and I took my children and I left him in Rochester New York. By this time it was 1985, and I thought that I had enough, well allow me to tell you the ride was just getting started. I got introduced to a new lover,Cocaine! This ride stayed with me for fourteen years, what a love affair that was. It was during this time I lost my chilren to child and family srevices,but most of all I lost myself completely. It wasn't until Febuary 7, 1999 thet I Finally got sick and tired of being sick of being sick and tire of fake love affairs. These where better known as prostitution. I had it so bad that I sold my body for money and I just couldn't take one more man on me or touching me. Then that night I learned how to call on the one man tht didn't want anything from me it was Jesus! God only knows that whenI cried out He came running, He took me in His arms and delivered me, Yes I said Delivered me from crack, alcohol and prostitution, and do you know the most wonderful part of all God Has Not Allowed Me To Crave A Drink Or A Drug In Ten! Yes I Mean Ten Years!

You see I know that if He did this for me, that HE will do the samething for You if You Wll Just Trust Him. Jusy say from your heart the same words that it took for me( Father I Need You and I Can't Do this without Yiu) By Faith I Know THat God's A Healer, A Redeemer, and Most of All My Bedtfriend!

In His Majesty's Service,
Evelyn( King's Kid)

To the Glory of God;It is hard to believe that May 2007, I suffered a stroke which attacked my left side temporarily partially paralyzing, my left side with a temporary lose of using my limbs and slurred speech. October 2008, I suffered a massive heart attack when my main aorta exploded and ruptured due to a type A aorta dissection, and while they worked on my body in surgery I was standing behind them watching them working to save me and nine days in a coma, what a mighty God we serve. January 2009 I suffered congestive heart failure, and if that wasn’t enough July 2009 I was diagnosed with a type B thoracic aortic aneurysm. After all that you're reading my victorious testimony and I typed it myself, I can tell you things about worship that would blow your mind.
