Expect Miracles

Annie McGuire

Description

Through trust and faith God will take you through life’s trials with miracles and blessings. Relying on God daily will lead to a deeper communication and relationship with Him that will profoundly affect every part of your life.
This book is a journey of faith as told through the life experiences of Annie Mc Guire, who from birth had to have the Lord work miracles for her very survival. As time passed and life brought changes, the one constant was Annie's love for and desire to learn the ways of Jesus Christ. By learning to walk in faith, the many trails and hardships that she faced taught her how the Holy Sprit operates, and how to hear the Lord's voice and trust in his will.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I give all the praise and glory to my Lord Jesus Christ for first loving me and being a true Father to me all of my life.
Next, I thank my husband, Milo. Shortly before we were married, he made a special vow, which has always been dear to my heart. No matter what was to come, he could only promise two things: first, he would always love me; second, he would always take care of me (which he surely has done). My husband has been faithful and has encouraged me during bad times as well as good times.
I give praise to the Lord for my mother, who saw me through the Lord’s eyes and never gave up on me as a child. My baby sister, Violet, whom I dearly love, and whether we agreed or disagreed, she has always been a friend. My three wonderful children, Grace, Hope and Bob, who truly are gifts from the Lord God Almighty: thank you for your love.
I also give praise to the Lord for sending a dear sister-in-Christ across my path: Sister Franny. She was a great blessing to my family and me. She was always there with a word of encouragement when we needed it. She was truly a woman of God. I know that even though she is no longer with us on this earth, she is still praying for us and rejoicing with us each time we have a victory.
I give praise to the Lord for all the friends that have passed through our lives, the ones that have encouraged me when I needed encouragement, and prayed for me when I needed prayer. So many times we could not have made it if we did not have faithful people praying for us.
We also could not have made it through some of the trials that we went through if it were not for the numerous unnamed dear men and women of God that walked beside us on our journey: I love and thank you all.
INTRODUCTION
I have written this book in hopes that it will help you to have “FAITH” in the Lord Jesus Christ and learn how to “TRUST” the Lord with everything in your life.
I have been married for over twenty years. The main thing that my husband and I have in common is our love for Jesus Christ. We pray to the Lord: “Send us, use us, and trust us.” We want to do whatever the Lord wants us to do. I did not realize to what degree this prayer would become and what would take place in our lives to prepare us to do all that the Lord had for us to do.
I will share my life from birth until the present time; of course, I will not be able to write about every event. There are so many things I would like to share with you, but one book would not be large enough. I will only write about the main events that I believe will help you to understand the goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ. I will give you scriptures to back up what I tell you. I do want you all to understand that I am not writing this book to preach to anyone; rather, I want this book to encourage your faith. Just as your pastor preaches to you weekly, I want to teach you how to use what he preaches so that you can live a life of victory in every way.
My prayer is that after you have completed reading this book, you will be stronger in the Lord. I hope that you will not have to go through as many trials. I would have you learn through my trials. I hope that this book will open your eyes to the fullness of God and teach you just how much the Lord really loves you.
CHAPTER ONE

The Devil Tries to Kill
“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
John 1:3
I was born a very healthy little girl in June of 1959 . My father was in the United States Air Force and was transferred to Tokyo, forcing to leave us behind until my mother gave birth to me. After I was born, it took a couple of months for my mother, my older sister Hazel, my older brother Keith, and myself to board an airplane to join my father in Japan. During the trip, the plane lost one engine and had to land on a farming field. As soon as the government was able to send another plane to pick us up, we headed towards Japan.
While living in Japan, at the age of six months old I became very ill. At this time, my mother was now expecting her fourth child, my brother Liam. She took me to the hospital; the doctor sent me home, giving my mother instructions to give me some baby aspirin to bring the fever down. The aspirin did not bring the fever down, so my mother took me back to the hospital again. This took place several more times with the same instructions from the doctor. Within a few days, I became so sick that she took me back to the hospital. She was so upset with the advice of the doctors each time. My mother decided that this time she would not let the doctor examine me. She went directly into the administrator’s office and handed me to him. She told him, “Now if this baby dies, the blood will be on your hands.” At that moment, the doctors were instructed to run tests on me. Within a few hours, a doctor came to my mother to give her the news. The doctor told my mother that I had CEREBRAL PALSY, SPINAL MENINGITIS, and DOUBLE LUMBAR PNEUMONIA! The doctor said that I would probably not make it. I knew that although I was conceived of my parents, God made me. Without God, I would not have been born. The devil knew that the Lord had plans for me, so he was going to try to kill me as soon as possible.
My parents called their parents back in the Unites States to give them the news. My mother’s mother said that they would pray, and God would heal that baby. When my grandmother hung up the phone from talking to my mother, she called her pastor. The pastor called the members of their church to have a twenty-four hour, around the clock prayer meeting for me until they received news from my parents that I was better. It is just awesome to think about it- a little church in Bay Light Village, Louisiana starting a prayer meeting just for me! Men would pray until it was time to go to work. Some men would pray after they got off work. There were men praying at all times throughout the day. The women would have food ready for the men so that they would not have to cut their prayer time short. Yes, there were women praying also. This was a dedicated church. The people knew that the Lord could heal me, so they were willing to press on until He did so.
Back in Japan, I only got worse. Within a few hours, I went into a coma. I stayed in th
