This Church is very active in prayer; we receive a lot of requests. We write back to many people all over the world. We don't send out simple words just put together, we get into the spirit of the prayer, and to the heart of the problem, till we are almost there sitting with the person or persons, or family's. Each request is well studied and researched for the best possible words, also utilizing many scriptures, that we can express comfort, edification, faith, love and direction to further the advancement to God and Christ. There are many prayers for healing in which we send out the churches healing scriptures from God's word. We have a few pages set, all compiled together to help people at bedside, or the home, or the hospital, or even in alleyways. As we write an introduction to, and always with a closing benediction, of strength, trust, and purity for each person and situation at hand, or to put it another way, we almost fall into there very lives of reaching out. It seems sometimes we can feel that we are right there alongside them, which this comes to light most every time even for the smallest prayer, of any type. I am only going to pull a few responses, not the full prayers; otherwise we would have pages leading to more pages. This church is doing the work of God, and spending many hours to love and help and hold people up, and give them a new light to a focus of faith. This prayer response page is not meant to be boastful, but meaningful, to add to the structure of the Body of Christ.

Thank you so very much. The tears in my eyes and in my heart are shed to thank you for your constant prayers for Lauren. You have no idea how much it means to me that you have chosen to pray for her and that I know that there are those prayer warriors out there that have committed themselves to this ministry. I will keep you up to date on her progress as I know it. God Bless you Reverend , you are a God send. As God leads me I will try to plant seeds in her heart that will hopefully take root and grow. Thank you , Thank you, Thank you.

that I am also praying for you and your continued peace while out on the
battlefield for our Lord. You are truly a blessing to me and my life . Thank you,
with love , in Jesus' mighty name . Joanne
Rev. Paul Bonanno, I want to thank you for your most welecomed letter today in regards to the one i mailed to you. I want you to know that my husband, Richard, did make it to church this morning and I am thankful for the time we shared in Gods house together and God made it possible for him to be there to hear Gods word and share Gods love with others.
It is so hard on him to go anymore, the circulation in his neck that is getting worse now, has caused great headaches and pain in his head and neck and it is hard for him to go anywhere , anymore. Plus he has some kind of seiures from the lost of circulation i guess. But , God made it possibe to go this beautiful morning and sat beside me and also go to the alter and pray together. This is a blessing and I give God the glory.
Yes, please, I would enjoy receiving the scriptures from you if it is ok. It would mean alot to me and to both of us I am sure. We would both be blessed by it.
Thanks again for your time and concern and Gods love . May he bless you and your family and your love of God to reach out to others and help spread his love, word, and kindness to all.
Love in Christ, Pat
I truely thank you Rev. Paul, my hope is and has always been in God, though sometimes it is not displayed. I have had many loves lost, but this one I truely don't want to lose. Howard is a very good man, that's why I continue to ask prayer for his return unto the Lord. He has a good heart, and like you said there may be many reasons for his behavior, though I know if he returns unto the Lord what a mighty man of God he would be. Thank you once again for your prayers, and I ask that you will continue to lift up myself and Howard unto to Lord that we may come together and stand for the Lord and for each other. Please continue to pray in agreement with me, your all I have right now so I ask you to stand with me until we are more mature in Christ. I will keep in touch if you don't mind, and hopefully our praise report will soon follow. God is an awesome God, Amen!
Dear Rev. Paul,
I wish to take this time and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your
prayers and concern for me while I was hospitalized. It meant a great deal to
me. Thank you. May the Lord truly bless you and your ministry.
In the service of our Lord,
Rev. Fr. John
Dear Rev. Paul Bonanno,
Thank you for sending all those wonderful passages of healing. I
have 2 paperbacks with "God's Promises", and I better start reading them
for myself. I've sent passages to friends in need, but now I need it
myself. Thank you for reminding me to do that.
God Bless You,
donna

Dear Rev.Paul:
Thank you so much for the words of wisdom, the father and the mother have both claimed to be saved about three years ago, they were even baptized (not in the Holy Spirit) for some reason that didn't happen even with the laying on of hands. We believe in the baptisim of the Holy Spirit and we are Holy Spirit filled, all the members of our ministry are spirit filled and led, mighty and strong men of God. The father only professes to need Jesus in his life, he has a long history of going back and forth, as the wife has, it is becoming our fear that they are grieving the Holy Spirit of God. We also have cast out strong demons (a year ago) when the wife said that she felt like something evil was dwelling in her. We cast out demons, and she still returned (as did he) to their old ways. At this point I believe that they invited seven times the amount back into their 'cleaned houses', and now neither of them want salvation, unless they believe that saying that will get them some type of financial gain. Pray for their souls, lately we have made it a daily prayer that the Lord God drive them to the bottom and do what he has to do with both of them to save them. Thank you for your prayers, my husband Jay (who is the pastor of our ministry) said yesterday that we cannot enable them further, in doing so we are keeping them from hitting rock bottom. I am praying a hedge of protection around the little ones, I know that my Jesus loves all of them, and He will take those little children into His mighty arms. Thank you Rev. Paul for agreeing with us in prayer. And God Bless You, I will lift your ministry up in prayer.
Yours in Christ, Mary
Hi Rev. Paul:
I don't know Felisia's mothers name, we are partnering with her ministry in the Phillipines through the wonder of the internet. She visited out website and we have been prayer partners ever since, she can only e-mail once in awhile because they must pay a dollar an hour for the public computer (how much we take for granted). She wrote me the other day with that prayer request and so I posted it everywhere that I could, Jay and I lift up prayers for Felisia's ministry nightly. She has ten Pastor's who travel in the area in the capacity of evangelists preaching and teaching, they do not even have proper food or clothing to do the work the Lord has called them to do, but they are faithful to the call none the less. Praise the Lord. Felisia's daughter's name is Grace, but she failed to mention her mother's name, I will attempt to get it, but it may take awhile. Thanks, Paul, for praying and agreeing with us, we will pray for your ministry as well. God is good, and Jesus is Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mary
Thank you. I will print these off.
We are believing so keep on praying..
I am happy to receive your e-amil. This week, I will fast but I need your support in the prayer. I will pray more than before
because I know that people accuse me for something. But I know I am innocent. I will pray God to make me justice.
Thank you so much for your support!
Dear Rev. Paul,
Thank you so much for your note and for keeping
us in your prayers. You don't know how much that
means to us right now. We have tried everything
legal and failed. We are seriously considering a
move far away so as to further limit contact, but
total separation barring him doing something
worse to her will require God's intervention. We
are constantly praying. It thrills my soul to
know that you will be joining in with us in
petitioning the Lord for her deliverance. She is
the sweetest, most loving and kind little girl,
and she loves God with all her heart. Thanks
again and we will be praying for you and your
ministry as well.
Kimberlie
Dear Rev. Paul,
I just wanted to say thank you for the obvious prayer you have offered
up to our Dear Lord in behalf of the difficulty between myself and Randy . We
appear to be friends again and prayer is the only reason that I can see has
caused this . The power of prayer is so very mighty that it is awesome . We are
praying for you always. Thank you for your unselfish love . In Jesus'
mighty name , your friend in Christ, Joanne
Oh but Rev Paul;
is one person worth it. a lesson hard learned at times. Jesus died
for that one person. I watched a story from christian doctors about the
physical pains and things that happened to his body. I shutter to think on
it. I also wouldn't be surprised if you are being shown the heart-ache God
suffers with each individual rejecting his love and hurting his feelings.
But one person can make it all seem worth it.
I am going to pray for words and wisdom to send to you. I sent Joanne
copy of your e-mail.
Paul,... SOMETHING ,.. is in the works. You just don't see it yet. but it IS
there,.. it IS on it's way.
I will get back to you.
There is a reason for
everything, and NOTHING catches God by surprise,.. and he STILL lOVES you
with an unimaginable love,.. THAT hasn't changed. and he still LIKES you
with an unimaginable " LIKE",.. that hasn't changed. The only things that
change are the things WE learn and experience as we go on.
A thousand years from now , all this will make sense,.. and we won't even
care because we will be enjoying ourselves in Heaven. I recently
learned from Dave Meyer, JOYCE MEYER'S husband , on TV,. that the Joy of the
Lord was here and Now,.. not my future plans or when things didn't turn out
how I expected. SOMETHING happened and took place in all this,. that we
can't see yet, and because God's timing is his own,.. we may have to wait to
learn what it was.
p.s. you have REALLY been SUCH a GODSEND to
Joanne,... more than you will ever know until we get to Heaven. and
it pleases me to have her geting uplifted by you. her life reads like a
book,... andd if God ever DID have "favorites",.. she would be one of them.
You will find this out in Heaven. and the good effect you have.
I WIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL be in touch soon!!
Randy
Dear Rev. Bonanno,
I was really pleased to get your prayer answer
all the way from Hawaii. I was blessed as I read your
response to my prayer intentions. These headaches have
bothered me ever since an auto accident on My way to
Maine, from California. At the Lord's direction I came
here.
As I flew into Maine 10 years ago, the scripture came
to me,"Go in and possess the land I have given you for
an inheritance." I would like to come into the full
revelation of what The Holy Spirit meant by those
words.
I need continued prayer for the direction the LOrd
would have me take. Than you for your prayers for me.
In Him, Marie
Dear Rev. Paul:
Just read your email and I was really blessed!! Thank you so much for praying and communicating with us. What town are you in, State?. Lord I pray for my brother right now. I pray You encourage him and strengthen him for the great work that you have called him to. I pray for this town and the lost ones that need to hear the gospel and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
thank you.
I will put you on our e-mail prayer list to receive prayer requests if that is OK.
Frank
Marie: What a great response to your request!! I emailed him and asked him where he was from. I am putting him on our Park Ave. Prayer team!!
God bless,Pastor
Thank you so much Rev Paul. I am going to mail a copy of your email to Brenda. Again, thank you. Tam
Thank you for your prayers and for the words of scripture. I am sure they
will help.
Anna
Thank you so much for praying and for putting my prayer requests on the altar. I appreciate your words of kindness and your email!
Carolyn
Yes I am one of those dreadful telemarketers. But one thing is not isthat we do no selling over the phone. All our work deals with phone
research for companies. But it is a job and one that I enjoy.
I wish you the best with your church. If there is anything I can do for you
(other than prayer) let me know.
Thank you again
and may God Bless you richly
Yours in Christ
Chris
My Friend Reverend Paul,
I thank you deeply for your prayers and blessings. I reread your email as it
gives me peace. The Lord works wonders and gives many blessings to all. He
blesses many who haven't a clue the miracle is of his hand. The Lord answers
prayer requests, he never falters. The answers sometimes are very direct and easy
to see and others are opaque as we can stay humble. I feel those who witness
and give testimony see His works more clearly.
Dear Rev. Paul,
I just visited your website and I truly feel that it holds a pure and
true message from our Dear Lord. You are such a sincere man of God , your
efforts will surely bear fruit one day . Have you ever experienced an inexplicable
knowledge inside of you that you KNEW that one day your efforts would be
rewarded ? I have felt this throughout my life at certain times and I just KNOW
that you WILL succeed .
I must tell you that your words of inspiration have been a blessing to
me and you should know that God IS using you already in ways that you are
unaware of . Randy and I have been praying for you since we both realized that
you were, by chance, praying for both of us ! Actually, I don't believe in
"chance" and I know that this was meant to be . I find it interesting that we were
all born in '54, also . Well who really can explain God's mysterious ways ?
Just be sure that you know I will always be praying for you from now on . And
so will Randy, I am sure .
I just got home from work a little while ago. After my shift was over
(3-11), Randy started his shift (11-7am) and I stayed there for a while and
prayed with the next shift. We are so dependant on prayer since we have started
to pray at work 3 years ago. I have seen our little "ministry" grow very
slowly at first and lately more quickly. People now seek us out to pray for their
shift or floor . I am sure satan hates us and thus, all of the attacks we have
had at times over the years. It seems we are all in the same boat, so to
speak. I know I don't have to tell you this but don't ever give up, no matter what
.
Well I am very tired as I worked all day . I would like to say more
and I will write you again soon . Thank you so very much for all of your love
and prayers. We will be praying for you and for your strength to go on with your
plans . Love , in Jesus' name, your friend , Joanne .
Tremendously sad, it is. Only saving grace I found personally, was that my 13 year old son felt so impassioned as to go with me to demonstrate in front of the court house last summer. My son has many scars and tries to exude 'hardness' often times, but I was blessed to witness that beautiful heart still at work inside of him, that day!
Please do continue to pray. There are SO so many ramifications tied into this situation it is terrifying.
Enjoyed your message. Good to get these things and know that we are not so isolated in our beliefs and thinking! :O) God bless you for your thoughtfulness. AND, pray fervently and without ceasing!!!
Susan
Thank you so much for these encouraging Words. I will
pass them a long to Raymond.
Rev. Paul,
Thank-You for taking the time to send me an encouraging e-mail. I especially Thank-You for the prayers for Melinda and I. My wife is an awesome woman, I look forward and expectantly wait for our reconcilation by the grace of God. The Lord Jesus has already been doing a great work and made many changes in my life. God Bless You!!
We have been praying for Jennifer's cousin Matthew who has been lost for 6 weeks, well.......Matthew has been found and he is alright. Praise the Lord!!.
she is ok the MRI was clear no problems there ... Thankyou
Lisa
Dearest Rev. Paul,
May our dear Lord bless you abundantly in his time . The Bible says,
"For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in
their portion." Isaiah 61 ,verse 7 . This is one of my favorites and sounds
like your life, also. The hardest part is waiting on God's perfect time . I shall
be praying for you always, now that our paths have crossed and I know that
you travel a similar road as mine . We who have excessive tribulation in our
lifetime know the extreme closeness of God, that others can only feel a part of .
Take care my friend . Love to you , in Jesus' mighty name , Joanne .
Dear Rev. Paul,
Thank you for your care and prayers, it means too much
to me. I have always believed in prayers' power. That
is why I tried to post a prayer request for my family.
We used to pray all together at home, but recently our
faith (especially my son 22 years old) become very
weak, he is desperate, frustrated, and very angry. I
am very afraid that some day he will loose faith.
At age of 14 he had cancer and God healed him after a
very painful therapy, then he had a respiratory
problem and had a surgery at age of 18, but still can
not breath very well if the humidity is very high or
if there is dust in the air. And he suffered also from
a skin problem due to chemotherapy he had. And now he
has a 32' scoliosis whish give him a very strong back
pain. My daughter has many health problems too.
We always felt God presence in our life, we have
experienced his mercy and love although all these
problems.
But now I don't know what is happening to us. We feel
rejected, tired and alone. And we need prayers, a lot
of Prayers. And I will appreciate receiving those
biblical scriptures; it will be of help of all of us.
Thank you and God bless you all
Rose
Dear Rev. Paul,
Thank you so very sincerely, for this encouraging, personal email response. I am so fretting and freaked out today, I can't even begin to tell you, but have periods where I feel like "it is well with my soul" and am believing that it's THOSE times that you all are praying for me. Thank you so very very much. PJ
Rev. Paul Bonanno.
Thank you very much for your prayers. Yes Iwill keep praying for her and
May God give you doble portion of his Spirit and grant you all the wisdom
that you need to keep leading God's people.
Thank you so much for your personal reply addressing my problems. I know that these all seem very trivial in comparison to what many people are facing, but the stress is really getting to me. I know that God will handle all of my needs in his time, but I'm just not very patient. please continue to pray for my concerns and that I may be less stressed in knowing that God's will and timing is perfect. Thank you so much for your concern and prayers.
Sincerely in Christ,
Lyn
Regarding my prayer request of last week. I just spoke to my boss and he said he is inclined to believe that they will adjust my hours, however just needs to meet with one person to "confirm" it and he will give me a solid, definitive answer tomorrow morning. So thank you so very much for praying for me. I cannot tell you how blessed I have felt, knowing you were praying. I am sincerely grateful. ~pj
My dear brother in Christ,
God bless you for your prayers and your compassion. Yes, I've had a rough time but God has used this marriage breakup as a "potter's wheel" and there have been many strongholds torn down. It is awful to be away from my wife and worse to imagine her with another man however, I "count it all joy when I (you) fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of my (your) faith produces patience." So, " . . . let patience have it's perfect work so that I (you) may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." for " . . .we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
It has been tough. I have been humbled and broken and shamed. My heart has broken. However, my relationship with Christ has gotten better than at any other time in my life. My wife has told me to "give up hope" but I know that my Lord will sustain me and restore my marriage. And He is faithful that promised (He holds her heart in His hand and like a river He will turn it where he wishes) and when He has begun a good work He will complete it. My faith and trust is in Him and Him alone. I will not date and will remain celibate, with God's grace.
Thanks, Dr. Bonano. Please feel free to share this testimony with others. God never fails us. However, I realize it will be in His time and that it will require much patience and the Grace of God.
If there is anything I can pray for you, let me know.
In Christ,
"Rip"
Reverend Paul,
I wanted you to know I feel God answered and helped me in my medical situation.
I was to have brain surgery Nov 5th, I went Wednesday for a preliminary visit with the neurosurgeon, I cannot have the brain surgery as it may be risky. My problem is epilepsy. I will now have a 2 hour out patient surgery with an implant, Vagal Nerve Stimulator, and this will possibly control my seizures.
My wife prayed for no surgery and I know God is curing me totally. My anxiety has diminished somewhat and now I can move forward full steam as I was doing 8 months ago.
I worked for a government contractor as you know, I pray God gives me the job and/or career which I can be filled with joy.
I've been praying for a move to Hawaii, God will bring his will.
Thank you so much for your prayers,
Love Michael
I just want to thank you so much. Since I wrote that you are the 4th to write me and I am so glad to know that there is so many christians that I can count on. Thank you. May God bless you as He has me.
Lord Jesus I lift my brother Paul up to your throne this day and ask you to protect him from the evil one. Surround him with your holy angels and place a hedge of protection around him. Father you know his heart is to do the work you have called him to do in Your Holy Name. The Lord rebuke you satan and all your demons from harassing this servant of the living God, satan your knee will bow and your tongue will one day confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, in Jesus' name you must flee, not because I, Mary, rebuke you, but because the Lord Jesus Christ who made the heavens and the earth and all that is within rebukes you and has dominion over you. I thank you Father for your faithful servant Paul, who keeps going in Your service for Your glory, and I ask You Lord to have mercy on him to lift these burdens from him and to wrap him in Your mighty arms of Love, because You love him Lord, and he belongs to You. Care for Him Jesus, minister Your Love to him, let him feel Your mighty presence there with him Master. I ask this in Jesus' name. Paul, I will be praying for you. Let me know what more I can do.
Love in Christ,
Mary
Dear Rev. Paul,
Thank you Reverend for being so kind to include my needs in your
prayer. I still pray and hope that one day I will get back to my old friend quaters where I was given the numbers. I believe at this time I am still "jinx" but who knows somehow through Lord Jesus Christ miracle do happens.
thank you so much
Rev. Paul,
My heartfelt appreciation to you for continuing to pray for Michael and his wife and child. Thank you for all your prayers and support. Blessings to you and the building of your church.
Love in Christ,
Carlene
Dear One,
Thank you and GOD Bless you for your faith filled prayer. I ask you to continue in faith and prayer. Today I went to my scheduled pre op appointment and was informed that the Dr. has canceled my pre op appointment. I do not know what is going on at this point. BUT IN FAITH I AM BELIEVING that MY SURGERY WILL BE PERFORMED...THAT GOD WILL MOVE ON THIS DR and HIS OFFICE. Please continue in faith and prayer that I hear some good news regarding my surgery soon.
GOD BLESS YOU,
Cassie
Thank you.
I am printing them now. I am on my way to the hospital. I will do as
you say.
God bless you.
I look forward to sending you a praise report.
Rev. Paul,
An update to my marriage reconcilation. My wife Melinda responded to an
e-mail I sent early last week and came to our house for app. 45 minutes on
Saturday. She definitely had softened some from the last time I talked to
her or had seen her. We were by ourselves & I was able to hold her hand &
ask for forgiveness in person. She said, "you have said you are sorry
before". I said, "I had not repented like I have over the last 2 1/2 months
spending that time with the Lord". She allowed me to hug her & gently kiss
her on the cheek (she did not hug back). I asked her to lunch and to go
shopping on Veterans Day (November 11) and she said "yes". Wow! That was a
good step in the right direction. She also gave me her phone #, she still
wouldn't give me her address. I praise God for answering prayer, this was
definitely a good start. I could see the hurt still in my wife (strongholds
& lack of trust) & will continue to diligently pray for her. I am amazed
that someone like you that doesn't know me, is concerned enough to continue
to pray for Melinda & I. Thank-You again!! God richest blessing to you!!
Cliff
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that. That was VERY helpful. Now I understand more about the whole situation. You are the third to point out that it was written in a specific church because of the situation. I live in a small town in Tennessee and there are very few female preachers around here. I don't know of any who preach as a regular minister at a church. There was one lady that preached and she was great, but I was disappointed because she quit preaching. The reason that she quit is her husband lost his job so she had to go back to work, but some other members of the church believe it is because there are very few that go there. The church is going downhill and she didn't want to be blamed for it. The truth...only God and her knows. Thanks once again. God bless.
Your sis in Christ,
Tabby
Rev. Paul,
I truly believe what you are saying about Satan running out of time, and doing all that he can to destroy the flesh. I also believe that this battle is much bigger than Tina and I. It is good vs. evil. I honestly can't imagine anything in our relationship that would have led to our separation other than my wife allowing her thoughts to be taken over by evil. I know her heart, it is pure and Holy. She truly is one of God's children. But, she is easily led. By isolating herself from anyone who tries to pull her back on the path, I'm not sure what will happen next.
I have faith in her, and I have faith in God. God has asked me to strengthen the bond of both of our family's, and do some long overdue mending of fences in the interim. Much of that work has been done. But, I can not speak with my wife at all. She has to come back to the altar on her own. I have no control. Discussing reconciliation with her has been taken completely out of my hands by either God or Satan, I don't know which.
I know that through faith, and once my work has been completed, God will answer my prayer. There are lessons to be learned here for both me and my wife, and I think that God is making sure that we both see ourselves in a different light first. My main concern is our son. He just turned three in October. He is completely innocent. I can't see him being sacrificed for anything evil.
Thank you for your understanding, your insight, and your prayer. I believe in the power of prayer, and I believe that our voices ringing out in the Heavens will be enough to get the message to my wife that she is truly loved, she can be forgiven, and she is safe to bring our son home.
Thank you again. God bless you.

This came at a time when I needed it the most. Thanks. Pray for me to get money to fix my car, pay past due bills, and to be anointed. Pray for Omar to be saved, be faithful, and get a job and be a provider.
Dear Mr. Bonanno---
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my 'rant'.
Sometimes I get so depressed because it seems that most Christians out there don't see the conflict of Luther/Calvin vs. the bulk of teaching from our Lord's very own lips. I am not trying to say that the 'bible is wrong' or that Paul was a heretic...I merely agree with what Peter wrote when he said this:
2 Peter 3
15Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.
God used to seem so REAL to me--there are these amazing things that happened in my past, things that prove to me that God is REAL---(God intervened to save my wife from a marriage in India to a Hindu man she never met before). I think that these things are the only thing that keep me hanging on to my faith in Jesus Christ.
Thanks, again and may the Lord bless you and use you for His glory and good purposes.

Rev Paul,
Thank you for your prayers and uplifting words. I retook my Nursing boards
and just found out today that I PASSED. What an awesome feeling I can't
explaine how I knew God was holding me in the palm of his hand when I took
my boards. We serve an awesome and almighty Father. Again I thank you.
Respectfully,
Vanessa
I just wanted to thank you for all of your prayers and encouragement. It truly means so much to me. God bless you and take care. Sincerely
Krystal
Thank you for praying. We had another ministry meeting this week that
was enlightening but dismaying, as we have additional concerns after
knowing more. There is nothing shady about our new ministry
organization, but things--especially money--are not handled well. Please
keep praying!
Diane
Thank you Paul. I printed off a copy for my colleague to give to his family and I made one for me also. Thank you for sharing it and for your prayers.
Have a blessed day, wherever you are. Here in Las Cruces, New Mexico it is balmy and very foggy this morning. It is a nice change for this desert.
Many blessings, Elaine
Thank you so much. God listens to us and he is our hope for everything. I will pray for you also. God is our only hope for things to work and he listens to each one of us. All of us have been blessed by God in so many ways and we owe him a lot. If I didn't have God in my life I would be nothing.
God Bless You and God is listening to us.
Marilyn
Dear Reverent Paul,
Thank you for praying and your wors of encouragement. I have no doubt that God answers prayer. It is just sometimes circumstances in life become so overwhelming that you do not know whether He is there or have left for a while. Right now i know that God has provided answers I just want to know how to tap into his goodness. May God bless you and yous real good today and always. Thanks for reaching out and please keep praying for us.
Dear Rev. Paul,
Thank you so much for the suggested healing scriptures! I have passed
along
the verses to Kay.
Thank you for all you do!
Blessings

Dear Rev Paul ,
I am so happy to hear from you . I , too, have MANY things going on ,
alot of trials and being in others lives when they need it . Thank you so much
for all of your continuing prayers . I am praying also, as is Randy . I am
sorry about all the troubles . What exactly is going on with your mouth ? Are
you having trouble opening the jaw , or is it just pain . Stress can cause alot
of problems with the TMJ , as I am sure you have heard by now . Do you take B
vitamins ? They combat the problems that can be stress related and effect the
body . Believe me , I KNOW what stress can do and have researched it
thoroughly . You must take care of yourself so you have the energy and health to
fight the enemy !!! Please tell me what is going on with you , healthwise, as
this is my forte !!! Maybe I can share some knowledge with you that can help . I
am working with my friend Kathy , who lost her son , and we have her on
vitamins and especially antioxidants . She is doing WONDERFULLY considering the
great stress she has gone through . Of course , all of the prayer in her behalf
has been miraculous toward her healing process . The Lord is indeed good to his
children. His mercy endures forever !! I feel so blessed to have friends like
you and Randy in my life. You are TRULY sent by God and are a sign of his
love and mercy !!!
I WILL CONTINUE to pray for you always . I hope that you have some
respite in your pain and will soon have a season of joy and relief . I know how
busy you are so whenever you get a chance just "drop a line" and I will be
there . Always in his love , your friend , Joanne .
thank you so much for your prayers. I am standing on God's word in 1 Cor. 7:10,11, 1 Cor. 7:27 and Mark 10:9. I am claiming this and believing God for He is a man that shall not lie, and I know that even as I type this response you are being healed, I stand with you against the attack of the enemy and bind him.
Lindsay however, is my struggle but God will take care of that. Again, thank you for your prayers and your response. The mean a lot to me.
In God's love,
DARA
Dear Rev. Bonanno:
I am so sorry about that strange affection in your mouth and I will be praying that God will heal your mouth right now by his healing power in Jesus Name. I will continue to pray for a healing miracle. Thank you so much for praying for John and I. Today, was a very strange day for me. I had a lot of errands to run but during the entire day, my mind was so heavily on John but I just kept rolling the care off on the Lord. I wanted to call, but I kept sensing in my spirit to just wait and be still and trust the Lord completly here. I love him and I miss him a lot,but I know I must obey God regardless. John goes to a Baptist church and I more full gospel and yet we have gotten along well in the past but I made a rather strong statement and stand about 2 weeks ago about Christ being in the center of everything and how I love the Love the Lord more than anyone else and this could have taken him back a little for he said he must digest all of this and for some reason he stopped s
peaking to me. I was so surprised at this kind of behavior from him and I did not say it to hurt his feelings in any kind of way, but still it hurts me that we are not speaking and then I just kept praying and somehow maybe the Holy Spirit is working behind the scenes. He and and I are about the same age and similar backgrounds and he was the first man that I have ever paid any attention to in many many years for so long I have just been with the Lord and when I met him, I was not sure if we met for a special purpose,yet I have to completly trust the Lord with this. Right now I am in a more quiet, resting and trusting place which is good. Thank you so much for praying for it truly makes a difference. Let us not give up the fight for we are on the winning side.
In Him,
Deborah
Rev. Paul:
Just a p.s. I have been looking for a scripture as well but I have not found it yet but I will keep trusting the Holy Spirit to reveal it to me as I continue to seek His face.
Deborah
Dear Brother In Christ;
I am glad a prayer of mine was helpful. Jesus works wonders through our acknowledgment of Him.
May our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, bring you Peace and Comfort in all times. We are often exploited by the enemy in our many faults and weaknesses; keep looking to Jesus, keep praying for God's everlasting Love!
...I am, at this time, convinced that to help your mouth that you should have communion with a few believers, strong believers, and pray at each element the prayer of Jesus removing Satan's stain from your mouth.
...Dear Heavenly Lord and Father, my Brother in Jesus is experiencing a battle with the enemy of all. I Pray and Affirm YOUR power in our lives - Blessed Jesus - to help, to HEAL, and bring The Word to the mouth and Lips of my spiritual Brother, Rev Paul, and the fire of the Holy Spirit to him so that he may say aloud the GLORY of JESUS and the MIGHTY PROMISE of SALVATION and MERCY bestowed to all who PROCLAIM JESUS is LORD... Break Satan's attempt at silencing THE WORD forever....IN the ALMIGHTY, EVERLASTING NAME of JESUS I say AMEN!!!
Peace to you, my Brother in Christ
Brother Shane
Oh, thank you, Reverend Paul!!! I am so thankful for all the precious
brothers and sisters who are praying for me. May God bless you richly now
and always!!!! Jill
Dear Rev. Paul Bonanno:
Thank you so very much for your prayers and the scripture readings.
I have been in prayer asking the Lord to heal the infection in your mouth so you can continue with the wonderful work of the Lord.
May God bless you always.
Ron
Pastor Paul:
Great scripture and thank you so much.
Deborah
Rev Paul;
you just put tears in my eyes, but the good kind, a Holy Spirit touch.
thanks. it really meant a lot, and because I know
YOU have been suffering so much of late, I wasn't expecting an edifying
uplifting moment for me when I opened the e-mail.
Paul, Joanne and I still praying for you. I ask God for things to be
obvious, to US as humans,
This occured to me. Fellow servant of the Lord Joyce Meyer, and others,
have mentioned how there were times of just sitting around doing nothing and
waiting on God. She did nothing for a full year at one time, but all the
time she KNEW her ministry was coming up in future.(frustrating, wanted to
push ahead).
Do you think it's possible that God is allowing you to go through so much,
and so many trials and tribs, because he wants you to endure a waiting
period, and not be ahead of his timing for what you are going to be doing?
Many DO get ahead of God's timing, very common. Like with Joyce. who by the
way, has HUGE ministry now. took about 25 years in forming. She was the one
that was sexually abused as kid, and reaches hurting women everywhere now. I
don't know. just throwing question "out there".
I firmly believe you LOVE God , and are after HIS heart. And I
firmly believe you love mankind, and want to do so much for those in need
around you. that's the only thing that comes to mind as to the suffering you
are enduring. I mean, it got worse instead of better, and Paul, there are
MANY prayer warriors taking your name to God all over the world. have been
for awhile now.
Joanne and I mention you a lot in our prayers. and I don't like to see
you suffering, nor does she.
by the way, how is your mouth? ( I'm almost "afraid" to ask). did they
find anything yet?
Thank you so much for that inspiring letter. My husband had a stroke
Friday morning. He is doing so much better. He couldn't walk, but he is
walking now and he couldn't speak correctly but this has improved
tremendously. What the devil meant for bad, God turned it around to good.
He is in the hospital still praising God. I praise Him for taking care of
my husband. I am trusting in the Lord, but right now I feel like David did
in the 22nd Psalm. I know my God has not forsaken me, but I feel so alone
so discouraged, but not enough to give up. I have lost my joy. I praise
