I went to the NCBC Conference in October of 2024. I took in EVERYTHING! My sister Olivia who is non-verbal autistic, was prayed over that she would talk again. Once my sister and I got home, I noticed my sister started to talk and participate more in our home activities. My sister is now assisting with children’s ministry as well as my family being vessels moving in the gifts God has given them. Amazing!

Also, my husband has multiple diagnoses and when I got home I immediately asked if I could pray for him and he agreed. I started to pray placing my hands on the area of pain in his hip, we stood there, I prayed in Jesus’ name a little more and he finally felt a pop in his hip. He was a little freaked out but I shouted for joy! Since then he has not been in pain as often as he was. I continue to pray for healing over him. My husband is a stronger believer because of that healing, he has started to serve in children’s ministry.

Also, I couldn’t sleep well for about a week I was just full of the Holy Spirit. I went to church busting at the seams with joy, wanting to prophesy and pray for healing in Jesus’ name for everyone. I had to reel it in, I was blushing at how the Holy Spirit shows off. I have been able to take what I learned at the NCBC Conference and use it individually in our church community. I have begun to prophesy over our church members but more so over my family. One person caught the fire in the spirit and fell back as I prayed. It is awesome to be a vessel but I especially like the part where we are to equip others to activate their Godly given gifts. ~ MyraLee
