Apostle Renee had a dream and she warned me to be watchful as I prayed about a situation. The events she spoke of happened about thirty minutes after she gave me the information. I was not surprised because I had been told to expect it. Thanks for the heads-up!

-Prophet P.  *

Our family dog who is normally very hyperactive and rambunctious has been limping and laying around for the past two weeks. Apostle Renee & Prophet P. came and prayed while they played with the dog who suddenly regained his energy during the special attention. Each day my dog began to act more like himself and by the third day (today) he is totally back!

-D. D.

On the same evening that a co-worker and I shared about a revelation concerning a particular biblical principle, my pastor phoned me about an event that took place with her earlier that afternoon that proved every bit of what God had just spoken to me and the co-worker hours earlier. All I can say is WOW!!!

-Prophet P.

I met this woman in line at the convenience store. There was a well dressed business man ahead of me who could not remember any of his pins for his cards but wanted desperately to make his purchase. Before I knew anything, Apostle Richards stepped out of line, gave the cashier the funds, gave instructions to the cashier and stepped back in line behind the two people ahead of her, and all was done before the man who was in need could even realize what happened.

The cashier had to tell him that it was purchased for him. He was shocked, and stunned and his reply was, "What? Are you kidding me?" He looked back at this lady amazed that she had heard his problem and had acted on it without his realization. I blurted out, "That was the favor of God!" For her to hear and obey the voice of God so quickly it set me on a high for the rest of the day. I introduced myself and asked what she was called. And Apostle Renee Richards introduced herself to me.

-A. P. S.

I had just had surgery and there were some major complications. My sister called and prayed a short but sincere prayer for me and my pain eased and my healing began. A few days later she checked on my progress and I was much improved. God hears her prayers!

-H. R.

Each scripture of the month has quickly come to pass within days of Apostle Renee's introduction of it to the church each month. We literally live the word of God at ATC!

-Prophet P.

We so appreciate the donation of bread that is delivered to us on each week. It seems to come just when we need it the most!

- S. F.

The Lord instructed Apostle Richards to bless me merely because she had received a blessing and she wanted to share it. I wondered how I would get my mother a mother's day gift and now I have the funds to honor my mother on her special day. Thank you so much and you are very sweet!

- K. W.

My friend had a meeting with Pastor Renee and I was just along for the ride. She welcomed me even though she had not been informed prior of my attendance and she was very kind. She also gave instructions after the meeting to my friend which was identical to the advice that I had just given to him about a certain subject on the ride over to meet with her. It was almost word for word and it seemed like she had heard every bit of our private conversation. I was amazed!

- L. S.

Pastor Richards came to pray for me in advance of my surgery next month. She waited graciously to be invited in and she quickly went to work on my behalf. First she read a scripture, announced the purpose of the visit and then she asked to move closer to me from the other side of the room before she prayed. She took my hands and asked the Holy Spirit to come into the room and to let the presence be felt. She had left a water bottle on the floor where she was first seated about five minutes prior and just after her request for God's presence to be made known, the plastic water bottle crackled as if a hand had grasped it to move it. But, of course there was no one on that side of the room at all.

This startled myself and my neighbor who was there to agree in prayer with us. Apostle Richards never looked anywhere other than my eyes and continued calmly to soothe my health fears. She encouraged me to believe and advised me as to the next step I should take regarding my health. Within a total of ten minutes she was gone and my neighbor and I were left in tears and in awe. I gathered her contact information so I can report to her my testimony.

- D. H.

I met Pastor Richards today in a not so ideal setting. But, I recognized from the very beginning that the Spirit of the Lord spoke through her and controlled an ugly situation that was just waiting to erupt but was reduced down to a perfect calm instead. Christ is in her!

- R. M.

My pastor warned some of our members about some upcoming events. Those who listened and corrected wrong behavior have been spared but those who did not hear have suffered great loss just as she assured us we would. The things that she warned of happened exactly within a month of when she gave God's word on the matter. All I can say is WOW!

- D. C.

The first time that I visited Armed To Conquer Pastor Richards preached a sermon about everything that I and my friend was experiencing at the time in great detail. I had not spoken to her about anything, yet the sermon addressed everything!

-L. A.

During a recent family crisis, my pastor told me exactly what to expect next and from whom. I was not surprised when on the same day as her "head's up" to me, those same people she mentioned, reacted exactly as she said they would. This woman is on point.

-K. C.

Pastor told us all about a dream that she had on last Saturday night and exactly four days later she received a phone call with information that definitely made a major ATC dream come true. By the fifth day the dream was a reality! The favor of God is upon us and we are a blessed people!

-W. D.

My son is so calm and humble, now. He told me that he's not worrying about nothing and that he trusts GOD fully. I was happy to hear this because that let me know that (my heavenly) Father is truly working on him. Thank you so much Pastor for helping and praying for him.

-S. H.

I witnessed what can only be described as a biblical pillar of cloud today just like the one that appeared in the daytime for the children of Israel as they were led by Moses through the wilderness. What a miraculous experience!

Prophet P.

I was given favor and was given $249.00 worth of free medication because the representative just so happened to show up as I was on the phone with the doctor's office and was denied pre-authorization of medication from my son's insurance company. The rep. had just decided to pay the doctor's office a visit. God's grace is sufficient and every need is supplied!

R. R.

I was really upset after I took for granted that I could visit a family member along with those who have turned away from obeying God. Well, father had my pastor to email me to check on me because she felt me heavy in her spirit. She was able to give me words of wisdom and scripture to help me get back on track with God's instructions to me on this particular matter. She even spoke exactly how I felt about the entire situation in the terms that described my feeling better than I even had words. I look forward to hearing God's Word for me on Sunday.

S. H.

Apostle Renee was a complete stranger to me and she paid to get my hair done without so much as a word to me. I was feeling really low that day about how my life was going or better yet not going. But her act of kindness really lifted my spirits and I have been telling everybody about her kind deed. Well, I got her card and I just started sending my tithes to her church. I also sent my prayer requests to her. She agreed that she would pray for my finances. She did pray for me and I received both of the two bids that I had submitted after being denied so many before. The only thing that I have done differently is tithing and her prayers so I know that both made these new business opportunities possible.  I have told several of my friends to send their tithes to Armed To Conquer if they want financial blessings!

L. A.

My pastor told me back in November that she had a dream about me back in October. She told me the dream and I really didn't understand even though it was about a childhood dream of mine. So I forgot all about it. Well on 3/10/10, that childhood dream came true all the way down to the last details and circumstances of pastor's dream. Then pastor found the dream that she had written in her journal and the date of the dream was 10/3/09. I received my dream car, a green 1996 Impala SS with gray interior. In her dream I had a 1969 green and silver Impala and it was tied to a new life with her. I've been in the Kingdom of God now since November 19, 2009 and I am blown away by the fulfillment of his many promises so quickly after I let go of several of my old weaknesses from the world! This is the abundant life!

W. D. 

All of the devil's demons seemed to be against me tonight. I emailed Pastor and she was given all the answers by the Lord for what seemed a mountain of troubles. She walked me through each and every one and I was relieved and at peace when I finished reading what the Lord had told her for me. I thank God for my pastor!

S. H.

A church meeting was called to address some of the issues of recent concern. The anointing was so strong on Apostle Renee until even after the meeting, my blue-tooth earpiece was fully charged but would not allow me to call her from just a few feet away so that I could give her directions from that location to her next destination.

Prophet P.

I visited and listened to the word of the Lord through Apostle Richards and it feels alive to me. I immediately took the invitation to join this church because I want to get my life together. She also counseled me on a problem I was having and this is the first time that I felt free and light. I felt much better as she told me some of my symptoms that I had never told anyone else.

K. C.

Armed To Conquer worked with me and agreed to help me through a difficult program. I would never have gotten through it if it were not for the spiritual, physical and financial support that my church provided for me. I successfully accomplished the impossible because of God in you!

-W. D.

I was in the hair salon with Apostle Richards and she didn't even know me but paid for my hair appointment without trying to get anything from me. She didn't insist on a visit to her church nor did she quote one single scripture to me. She saw my need and showed compassion. The next week I received a blessing and I sent my tithes to Armed To Conquer because I remembered the love of Jesus that I felt through her that day. I am still telling people about my meeting with her because in these economic hard times she showed such kindness to a perfect stranger. Each time I am blessed I will bless you Apostle Richards!

-L. A.

I noticed during set up for church that the wall clock in our sanctuary kept accurate time today in spite of the second hands determination to mark time (stand still). It continued like this for the entire time that were were there. I did not bring attention to it with anyone else but I did mention it to Apostle Renee before service started and I asked what this meant. She said that the second hand which remained still means that something miraculous is going to happen now. I watched and I waited and three or more miracles did happen during the service and He used Armed To Conquer members to accomplish them unbeknown to them. Apostle Renee and I were in sheer awe of our All Mighty God! The time was truly now for three prayers that she and I had prayed within the past few days!

-Prophet P.

Pastor was literally almost flat-lining on the way to church. She had been struggling with some kind of respiratory ailment for about three to four weeks now and it was at its worse today. But instead of asking our other pastor to preach, she prayed for strength to do God's will for the day and preached her little heart out. Thank God for her willingness to be used by God and her extreme obedience!

-D. C.

I asked pastor a question that has been bothering me about a Christian movie that I saw a few weeks ago. I asked Pastor Renee the question and she answered it with no hesitation or time to think as if she had just seen the movie herself. I knew if I asked her she would settle things for me. Thank God for my pastor.

-R. M.

Every time I go to church, I get the answer to a problem that I asked God during the week. I did not talk to pastor and yet her answers were very clear about what to do about a six year friendship and a deep feeling I was trying to describe to my Mom. Pastor gave the answers as if I had asked her the questions and described how I had been feeling in words that I would never have thought of. It totally shocked me because I had done my best to explain my feelings but I didn't think that there were adequate words to describe them. God really speaks through this woman! I am still stunned.

-J. M.

Pastor Renee prophesied in the sermon on last Sunday the exact place, events, people, circumstances, comments and difficulties in extreme detail of a large segment of my day on this past Thursday. That Word of God became my life for several  hours. My family member who has only visited the church for the first time on Sunday and my daughter who is a member of ATC brought the realization to my attention. My God!

-S. H.

Pastor Renee demonstrated today's sermon with me after service. Wow!

-K. H.

Apostle Richards,

I pray as this note reaches you it finds you in the best of spirits and health. I beg of you to please keep me in prayer especially where my health, business and finances are concerned. Please pray that God will find favor in his eyes for me.

Respectfully,

-L. A.

No one has ever given me anything in life and I came from another country, raised seven children alone and worked hard to be my own sole provider. I have received from your bread drive for the past year and there were truly no strings attached. Here is a donation just to show you that I appreciate the compassionate hearts who continue to give asking for nothing in return.

-L. L.

Pastor Renee gave me some advice during my counseling session on how to handle a very delicate situation with grace. She said that she would also pray about it for me. Well, I never had a chance to handle the delicate situation because to my surprise it never came up even though it always did before the advice. The prayers worked!

-J. M.

New technology was introduced to me through an offbeat article I read on yesterday which really fascinated me. I was so busy all day I didn't have a chance to share my excitement with anyone. Yet, Apostle Renee told her dream from last night to me today which included the technical capabilities of the device described in the article that I read. Only God!!

-Prophet P.

A friend and I finally visited my mother's church to experience for myself some of the things Mom told me. The preacher admitted that she was not preaching from her prepared notes but from her heart and that she didn't know where she was going with what she spoke to us. I knew that the message was for me because I had not talked to her and yet she was answering some of the questions that I had just this week. She spoke all about my situation and how I could benefit from doing things differently. She shared one of her testimonies which was so personal and honest until it totally shocked me. Then a miracle happened right beside me and I knew that this is the truth!

-K. H.

I broke out in a rash and I mentioned it briefly in passing to pastor on last Sunday. She told me that she would pray about it for me and email me our heavenly father's solution to the problem. I did not tell her what type of rash or even what it looked like but she emailed me on Tuesday with the exact details of the appearance of it, the cause of it and how to get rid of it without a prescription or doctor's visit. I began immediately on His healing regimen for me and by this worship service I am completely healed. To God be the glory!!!

-S. H. 

I visited Armed To Conquer for the first time today and I began to get a really bad sinus headache. Apostle Richards was already in the middle of her sermon when she stopped, told the members of the church to mimic her and stretch their hands towards me. She prayed a very simple prayer of healing and ended it with "In Jesus Name". The minute she said, "Amen" the pain immediately vanished. She returned with no hesitation to the exact point in the sermon where she left off, never missing a beat. After the service she was able to describe in detail exactly what my pain felt like to me!

-P. R.

Pastor Renee helped me see things so differently through her sermon today.

-R. M

My $8, 260.96 hospital bill balance that my insurance company would not pay was reduced by the hospital's billing department by 70% today! Wow! Only my God can do that!

-Apostle Renee Richards

I am really new at living this Christian life but, God loves me so much until he sent me two earthly angels to watch over me. I believe in things that I could never have imagined before!

- W. D.

I had a really slight oil leak for years now and suddenly it became really bad  and the engine was found to be bone dry. I began to watch it daily to find that the leak was extremely excessive but I knew from history that the repair of it was not possible in the natural. Pastor and I prayed for God's divine intervention and the day that we each prayed, the leak decreased back to minimal. Then God gave a gifted young mechanic the insight to repair what was supposed to be irreparable! All of my needs are met according to His riches in Glory!

- P. C.

I struggled emotionally about past abuses and I really was not doing well in that area. Pastor called me to say that she couldn't get me off of her mind and that if I needed to talk or anything to give her a call. I wanted to talk to Pastor Renee about it because I am so comfortable with her about any subject. She is never judgmental of me. She tells me what the Word of God says, then she tells me what the Lord is saying to me directly, coaches me to obey God's instructions and then she continues to show me unconditional love.

-J. M.

God's mercy was shown to me on my birthday by my physical father as he went out of his way to spend a few hours with me in the middle of his work week. He brought a celebration dinner and desert as well as gift cards from all of my favorite places to eat and shop for clothing. I didn't deserve it because I had just been written up on my birthday at school for misconduct. Thank you Dad and thank you Lord.

-D. C.

Prophet P. phoned me to tell me to pay attention to the dreams of two specific dates. Both dreams were about the same individual and I could not understand why I was to give them my attention. But as soon as I said, "Ok Lord," to the instructions that the Lord, himself gave for me, I focused on  the dreams written in my dream book for those dates that Prophet P. highlighted for me. The person that the dreams were about called on the telephone within minutes after I read those dreams to confide after they had disobeyed instructions from the Lord through me on that same matter over a year and a half ago. It was late in coming but the person is now obedient. WOW!!!

- Apostle Renee Richards

Many at the church have experienced some of the same things during this time for our church. God is reuniting us with people from our past that we can share our testimonies with so that they can now believe in Him. It's happening all of a sudden but within hours of each other.

- W. D.

Pastor had two dreams a few days earlier about her deceased mother within hours of each other. After she received the dream interpretations from the Lord she spoke a desire of her heart to Him and the Lord let us all see with our own eyes what reduced her to tears. It was the "spitting image" of her mother captured on film of a major motion picture.

-W. D.  &  D. C.

Pastor Renee pointed her finger in the direction of our sanctuary wall clock just as she ended one of her most powerful sermons. The battery operated clock went crazy with the minute and hour hands both speeding around the face taking only seconds to go through hours. The sound of the motor on the clock was as if someone had removed the plastic face and was physically forcing  the minute and hour hands to travel speedily into the future. Everyone in the church saw it and frankly it freaked me out!

My wife asked what did it mean and Pastor Renee said without hesitation, "God's hands are moving rapidly on behalf of the righteous and He (father time) is totally in control." The clock continued for about five minutes at that same speed. Then my wife noticed that the clock had not only stopped and was keeping regular time, it began again at regular speed on the accurate time of day (4:09) as if the hands had traveled normally around the clock the entire time. Everyone checked their phones and watches to find that it was really 4:09 pm!

The media coordinator caught a portion of it on the digital camera recorder.

- R. M. S.

I noticed notes on the board from the other church who shares our sanctuary and their notes were on the subject that our pastor taught to us when I first came to ATC back in July of 2008 (my current bible has the date that I joined the church in it). We are really a prophetic church because we are exactly a year and five months ahead of the teaching of the other church.

- J. M.

I can't help but to believe in God because His presence is so strong in our sanctuary after the Word of the Lord!

-S. H.

I have been bothered by several illnesses since my early childhood. Pastor has given me instructions during this time in my life and I am seeing healing in my body one by one.

- J. M.

Bless God we were able to get a picture of this year's corporate consecration period miracles, signs, wonders or whichever name you'd like to call them. All we know is that it is definitely Jesus! The Lord wrote His name and then twenty minutes later, His name had changed into our church name on the ceiling in response to a prayer. We moved nothing, not even ourselves during that time. This proved that He was pleased and also validated that The Spirit of God  is very much with us!!

- Prophet P.

Pastor Renee,

I see a prophetical mantle all over you. You are a prophetess. The gift of miracles and joy follow you. You shall have businesses and people working for you. You will have no more pain, all hurts are now gone away. Money cometh, pray for 7 days facing the East.

- Prophet J.

-Pastor Renee was praying near my vehicle and her prayer actually drained my brand new battery and caused my capacitor to read at a very low level. The battery totally died and never recovered. It had been operating fine until pastor's powerful prayer!

-W. D.

God's divine favor came and literally knocked on my door (or more accurately rang my phone) today. My insurance did not pay a large portion of the exploratory surgery bill $8,260.00 for my heart catheterization. First God healed me of my heart defect and chest pains with a scripture then He sent the hospital to offer me financial assistance with my remaining responsibility for the bill because I had begun to make a small payment. I refused to worry about how it would get paid and now God has seen fit to possibly reduce the financial consequences of my disobedience which caused the heart ailment in the first place. Because I took responsibility, repented, endured and accepted my consequences with a good attitude; my God restored my health better than ever before and tremendously reduced my portion of the financial liability!!!

-Apostle Renee Richards

Church service today was phenomenal! Actually no words can describe it! While I laughed and enjoyed myself the entire time, I also learned new things that I did not know  or understand before! I now know what I have to do for my Father and for myself as well. I also know who I have to let go and why.....Let go and let God! I thank God that I have never tried to take part in the subject of this Sunday's sermon even though tempted and pressured many times by my own family. If they really cared for me, they would never have tried to lead me the wrong way no matter what the circumstances! Pastor, I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing God's work. I love you dearly!!

-J. M.

Apostle Renee has been advising me on some habits that the Lord revealed to her that were affecting my overall health. I began to take heed to the advice and was conscious of maintaining my new replacement behaviors which produced a miracle for me. I was completely bald in the very top of my head and balding in the very top front of my hairline which was progressively meeting the bald spot at the top. I have been continually following the maintenance plan for the past 90 days and my hair has thickened where it was once thin and hair is filling the bald spot which is not bald anymore. Wow, I had no idea that this was even possible. Thank you Jesus!

-P. S.

My back was hurting me in church this Sunday but I didn't say anything to anybody. Pastor came straight in and started preaching. Then she said, "If the Lord tells me that this young man's back is hurting he is letting me know to use the gift of healing to make his back better. So I will just go over to him and touch him on the back and in Jesus' name it will be healed." I was shocked first of all that my situation was in her sermon and then as she spoke she came to me and touched my back and it stopped hurting right on the spot. I never told her a thing! God is real!

-R. M. S.

Here is just a note to let you know that our prayers remain with you and we are excited that God has divinely connected us to team up and advance His Kingdom in Kenya. It is our great honor and privilege to work with you. Our main aim is to request you to come as your schedule will allow and we are looking forward to a powerful time in the Lord and may God bless.

-Bishop J. M.

I have never had a pastor who has been able to tell me exactly what my worries are and how to fix them right then. It is so good to have this second chance for a real relationship with God. Thank you for my new life.

-W. D.

My brother was coaching me on how to rake our enormous back yard more easily when I saw a snake the color of the autumn leaves. It is a wonder that I saw what my brother described as a baby copper head snake. Even though it was a baby, it was very aggressive and their poison is said to be more potent. My brother beheaded him with a hoe. I thank the Lord, Jesus for helping me to be aware and alert in spite of my rebellion lately. God is faithful!!!

-D. C.

Pastor's gift of prophecy helped me to feel better about the exact subject that was bothering me at the time. I never said anything. God is real!!!

-S. H.

God has given us so much innovative information lately about where and how He wants His Kingdom to prosper. I am glad to be paired with someone who has such a spiritual sensitivity and precise hearing of our Almighty God!

-Pastor Patrick

I returned to ATC earlier this month and I could only take part in the Family Fellowship because I had to work. Pastor said that she would pray that my schedule would be changed so that I could come and get my word. Well, two weeks later, I am off on Sundays. My only regret is that I didn't ask her to pray specifically for first shift because I now have been placed on second shift. I know to be specific when asking Pastor to pray for me!

-R. M.

Apostle Renee woke up in the flow of the Holy Ghost and just started spewing wisdom this morning. It was like a flood that rushed my head and made me dizzy it was so deep. What a mighty vessel. The anointing was still so heavy on the following day until the power of God confused our GPS system. It suddenly gave all kinds of false readings within seconds of each other and continued to recalculate even though we were on our usual path for church.

-D. C.

I explained the set up that I received recently and I was overwhelmed by the miracles. When I shared with my sister, she told me that I had finally reached my destiny and that the miracles were a sign of the divine appointment. She told me to get ready for even more miracles.

-G. R.

Apostle Renee gave me some medical advice about a problem that I was having and I took the remedy that she suggested for my improvement. I really feel much better and I have only begun a portion of what she said would help me.

-D. W.

I had some bazaar unexplained feelings about a relative, went to visit, received several messages from God but did not understand it at the time and she died in my presence. I talked with my pastor about it and right away she taught me what I needed to know to be led by the Holy Spirit. She never hesitated but immediately began to explain and instruct me.

-R. M. S

My blood pressure was really high today and I was asked by my family if I should make it to church. I remembered what Pastor Renee preached once about how the enemy will make you sick just to make you miss a life changing word. She said that if you press your way you will receive your healing and your life changing word. So, I made up in my mind that I would go and as soon as I reached the church, the heart palpitations stopped and the blood pressure decreased to no symptoms. The Word of God is true!!!!

-V. G.

I am glad for the sermons you are teaching us about obedience/rebellion and I am learning something new from these powerful messages that Our (Heavenly) Father is speaking through you each time. I've never in my whole life found a pastor like you, to be able to break everything down so that even a child can understand. I thank Our Father so much for sending me to Armed To Conquer because I am truly in the right place. You are very good for my soul and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am blessed to have you in my life and thanks again for helping me on this spiritual walk in Jesus' name.

You are truly doing the work of Our Father and I feel that we are getting ready to do some amazing things to come.

-S. H.

Apostle Renee taught me new and inspiring word today in Spiritual Awakening II. I had asked her for information on the Feast of Tabernacles and not only did she quench my inquisitiveness, I ended up drinking from an overflowing spiritual fountain. The Word of the Lord that she imparted in me in association with the information that I requested left me weak and flat on the floor. The Holy Spirit consumed me as she spoke and I struggled with all my might to retain the phenomenal impromptu lesson that she nor I was prepared for. My perspective and my life are forever changed!!

-Pastor Patrick

My eighteen month old toddler drank bleach, was rushed to the hospital because we could not induce vomiting and found to have not a scratch on him except the one on his throat where I tried to make him throw up. He did not eat for a couple of days but other than that he is absolutely fine. Thank you God!

-J. H.

Thank you pastor for receiving me back with open arms! Your love for me has not changed at all. I remembered you as I finally obeyed the Lord and married my wife only regretting that you could not perform the ceremony. I should have done it a long time ago when I had your help. But you did give us your blessing.

-R. M. S.

This was my very first visit to Armed To Conquer. The Holy Spirit swept through the sanctuary like a flood as those of us who wanted salvation, a closer walk with the Lord or baptism in the Holy Ghost stood at the alter. Those of us who received at least one of the above mentioned felt our legs turn to rubber as Apostle Richards collectively prayed over us and summoned the Spirit of God on our behalf. I fought with all my might to remain standing and the tears overtook my soul and soon my face as this anointed woman of God touched me!

-C. C.

I came back home to ATC and confessed my sins. Immediately I felt lighter!

-J. H.

Never in my entire life have I seen so many signs, wonders and miracles! WOW is right!

-Pastor Patrick

I have learned so much since coming to Armed To Conquer. I learn something every single Sunday that I can apply and it makes my life better. The bible and the Lord's guidance through Pastor Renee (when followed) really works!

-S. H.

I had been ashamed of my Christianity at school and I allowed the devil to make me act just like my friends instead of me being the example. Well, my behaviors got me suspended  and caused God's wrath on me through my parent. But, I still did not truly repent. At 7pm on Saturday, a thunderstorm came up and lightening came through my bedroom window where I was at the time and struck the garage door opener just beneath and beyond where I was seated. That opener is now toast but my mother was really grateful to God that he decided not to strike me.

I never really feared the Lord until now. The fear of the Lord is what should keep us obedient to God's Word! My mother ministered to me and made me reread the story of Jonah. I will not put myself through another Jonah experience. God is not playing with me!

-D. C.

The Spirit of the Lord was so soothing in church service today. Worship was refreshing and you could actually feel God's presence. Then, the Word of the Lord was absolutely the icing on our spiritual cake.

-Pastor Patrick

What a real adventure it is to actually live every day of your life by the Word of God. Every kind of miracle, sign or wonder that happened back in the time when The Holy Bible was written is happening right now in 2009 with the same power and authority!

-Apostle Renee

We were in our half acre front yard doing yard work when Apostle Renee moved one of the spout drains right onto a poisonous snake and kept working. I noticed its tongue movement and calmly told her to jump back quickly because there was a snake near her heel, his head was already in strike position and she was wearing flip flops so her foot was uncovered. She followed my instructions immediately and jumped farther back in one leap than I thought was humanly possible. She then spotted the snake and calmly went to get the hoe out of the open garage and struck it once and beheaded it. She continued to do yard work as if nothing happened. I, on the other hand, was quite shaken and had to take about a twenty minute break to get myself together. 

I know that she has publicly admitted that the snake is the only thing that she fears on this earth and our heavenly father, God who is in heaven of course. But, she faced her fear like an absolute champion. Wow! Wow! Wow!

-P. D.

You really ministered to me in the words of the beautiful get well card that you sent to me. Your own words did the real ministry even though the card itself had scripture on it. Thank you because it did indeed encourage me!

-G. R.

I had not talked with Pastor Renee in a very long time and I was led to call to see how she was doing. She blessed me repeatedly for genuinely caring about her and for the encouragement that the truth that I told gave to her. I really long for and thirst after the Word of God through this vessel because no matter where I go, I do not ever hear the Word of the Lord the way that He gives it to Pastor Renee. His word through her really teaches me and satisfies my spirit man.

- V. B.

Father God gave me specific instructions on 4/19/09 to remove a sinful natured person from leadership in our church. I delayed for two months until 6/29/09 because I didn't want the additional responsibilities of yet another unfilled leadership position. I became ill and placed under a cardiologists care where he diagnosed a heart defect that I was made aware of  back when I was twenty-three. However, that was not responsible for my current symptoms. I suffered and was under medication for two months and even experienced exploratory surgery to find the phantom cause of my severe chest pain, numbness and tightness. After my arteries were found to be clear as a bell and a battery of tests were conducted by several specialists, it was revealed that my heart was working "picture perfect". I recognized that there simply had to be a spiritual cause for the physical symptoms that continued to plague me.

I prayed to my heavenly father asking what I had done to cause this suffering. He led me straight to my biblical prescription of Psalm 40:12 and this passage told me exactly why my heart failed me. In tears, I repented right on the spot in my room, and asked for divine healing of my body. Immediately, the medication which I had faithfully taken for three weeks began to make me sick. I reduced the dosage to half a tablet as I was instructed by the doctor and I still experienced the same intense side effects. I then reduced the dosage to half a tablet every other day and the same intense side effects continued. I asked the Lord for guidance and was led to wean myself from the medication all together. Just a few days without the prescription caused me to feel my energetic and happy self again.

My eldest brother called and asked me to get a second opinion so that he could rest assured that I had actually received a divine healing. I did so to ease his heart. Two doctor's of another practice unaffiliated with the previous three cardiologists could not find anything wrong with my heart nor could they find any evidence of the obvious defect that I have had since birth. Both new doctor's agreed that no medication is needed and they are actively studying my case with a thirty day heart monitor that alarms every time I pray, praise, worship, meditate on God's word, or preach. The monitoring company describes it as interference of some kind but not a heart event. It is the power of God!!

I was punished for exactly the amount of time that I disobeyed my heavenly father. Deliverance came just as I repented! Learn from my mistake. Obey as quickly and as often as possible and repent as quickly and as often as you disobey so that you do not experience the consequences of being rebellious.

-Apostle Renee'

I was home schooled for two and a half years and I was warned that if I didn't put more effort into my own education that I would have to return to the public school system. Well, I agreed that I could put more focus on my education but I failed to actually do anything about it. The warning became a reality fast and I was placed back in school.

I still refused to take my education seriously and I even began to take on some of the ungodly habits of my new found friends. But, because I believe in Jesus, I was punished for the same things that my friends so easily got away with. When I confessed and repented at church, God's forgiveness and favor was immediate and obvious. I know now that I must not forsake Him because when I do I really forsake me!

-D. C.

Apostle Renee shared a dream with me on 6/24/09 that she had the day before (6/23/09) and the exact events of the dream came to pass on 8/29/09  down to the very last detail! We went back to the dream journal and there it all was. It read as though it had been written as a day's event entry for 8/29 instead of a dream for 6/23. God is a miracle worker!

- Pastor, Patrick

Thank you so much for prayers of support while I competed. I was up against some seasoned competition. I had fun and it was a positive experience for me. Thanks again.

- G. A.

I followed your advice and obeyed the word of the Lord through you and everything that you said would happen for me has come to pass. I learn so much from the word of God that you deliver to us on Sunday. I love you!

- S. C.

Apostle Renee,

I was absolutely stunned to receive your blessing, and I knew it was God!!You have no idea what transpired between myself and the Lord the day before and the day of receiving the (His) gift. God Bless you and Armed To Conquer. Thank You!

- Pastor, M. S.

Hello Pastor Renee,

I just wanted to thank you again for blessing the house for me and I truly thank you for talking to K. C. The house is so peaceful now since your visit!

- S. C.

You are a mighty woman of God! You are going to become a very large ministry. I see you growing and being able to deliver the word of God to a large congregation.

- Pastor, O.

I drove my Suburban on the freeway and a truck came from behind me into the fast lane to pass me doing what seemed like over one hundred-twenty miles per hour. He darted his truck back into traffic about 4 cars ahead of me and struck the rear of the vehicle he had just maneuvered behind. The next thing I know his vehicle is hit by the car that was rear-ended into a tail spin and sent into the opposite traffic lane. He was ejected from his vehicle and lying naked and his body parts distorted from the natural use of his limbs.

Meanwhile, right after impact, I was dodging, large pieces of debris in a cloud of dust and debris which I could hear hitting my vehicle at an alarming rate but I could not see anything. I continued to break wisely so as not to cause my SUV to overturn as I weaved in between debris pieces and vehicles that had also been involved in the accident. When I finally stopped, having successfully passed through the accident scene, I got out expecting major damage to my vehicle from the airborne vehicle parts from the accident. My white Suburban was now dark tan but, it had absolutely no damage what so ever. It did not have so much as a single scratch on it!

Others who tailed me out of the cloud of dust and debris expressed their surprise at how I was able to travel through the cloud, safely avoid becoming a part of the accident scene and come out without a scratch when some of their vehicles had been damaged as they blindly followed me to safety. I could not tell them that a quiet voice kept me calm and clear thinking. But I had to let them know that it must have been God to cause such a miracle for me. Unfortunately, the young man who caused the accident was dead and I know that I was spared because I have a praying mother, Apostle Renee Richards!

-W. D.

I met Pastor Renee at our workplace several years ago. She took an unorthodox route into my life and into my work space. She was my relief for the night shift. On the first day that I met her, I remember how she walked onto the dock of my building but I watched her as she moved in a strange pattern to reach my office. She was warm and caring and easy to talk to. She told me she was a writer and was working with our company to give her the freedom to pursue her dream. She loaned me a copy of her book and I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down. She promised that I would see many aspects of my life in the book and that once I read it that she would be able to point out the areas where I needed closure and healing.

When I returned her book the following day she told me the points in the book that made me cry and what had happened to me in my past to cause my emotional trigger. I could not believe that she knew what no one could, not even the man that I had shared the last twenty-five years of my life had any knowledge of the things she shared about me. I was then compelled to ask about the way that she walked onto the dock the day before. She described to me what she saw in the spirit and that she has very vivid visions. Well, I knew then that she was real because with what she described, it was right in line with the history of the land where the current building stood. There is no way she could have received that information prior to our meeting and what she shared was not at all common knowledge. I became a believer that day!

- M. C.

My son who was on all kinds of medication for behavioral and learning disabilities two years ago is now advancing to the fifth grade after Pastor Renee counseled me to remove him from those meds and to appeal to his spiritual side. God is amazing if we will allow him to do the impossible through us.

-A. L.

As I looked out of our patio door, there was a grown deer grazing right out of our flower bed. Even nature is comfortable where God has provided for his woman servant!

-P. D.

I visited Pastor Renee's home for a few days and found it to be an extreme place of peace. On the second morning of my visit, I heard angels praying over her in her bedroom as she slept.

-D. W.

Apostle Renee shared a portion of a dream, that she had written in her journal, with me on 3/5/09 about a well known prophetess. The dream told of where and what day of the week the meeting would take place and that a life changing message would be exchanged. Over the last few months I would periodically ask, "When are we to go to see the prophetess," and Apostle Renee would calmly say, "God will reveal exactly when. Until then I will focus on the tasks at hand."

Well, Apostle and I went to see the prophetess on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 and that prophetess spoke the events that were shared to me from my Apostle's dream down to the details of the very events of the day. As the prophetess spoke, Apostle Renee would point to it in her journal which left us both speechless. Also, Apostle Renee received the dream during our corporate forty-two day fast earlier this year and the prophetess was to begin a forty day fast at midnight that very same night. Only God could have foretold in detail in the form of a dream the exact events that would happen almost exactly three months later!

-Pastor Patrick

 Thank you Apostle Renee` for your love, extreme patience and guidance.
I have been blessed to learn so much from you.

- B. W.

An alarm warned of the unknown and soon Apostle Renee was given the word from her heavenly father that the alarm was for the septic tank system. The warranty company was reached and even though it was after 5pm on a Friday evening when they were contacted. They gave the repair company's name and they too were reached after business hours on a week-end.

When the repair company came earlier than arranged on the next day, it was found that the septic pump seemed to have been hit by lightning but there had been no storm. The other miracle is that there was no back up of the system even though both tanks were above the full level which is what triggered the sounding of the alarm. Of course the warranty company would not pay for the pump said to have been damaged by lightning but they did agree to pump one of the tanks.

When the replacement pump and the repair technician returned on Tuesday, he and Apostle Richards were swapping testimonies of God's miracles and mighty works like two soldiers who had experienced many major victories. She thanked God for the pump damage just to be able to place her with another one of the children of God in that particular space of time to share and to encourage one another. She believes that was the only way that the two paths would have ever crossed!

- D. C.

Hello Pastor Renee! I pray that all is well with you.

On last evening, I picked my husband up from work as I always do and as we pulled from the parking lot the fuel light came on. I was surprised at this since I had just put $10 in the day before. I stopped at the next gas station and my husband went inside to pay for the fuel since the card swipe on the pump was out of order. After a few moments, my husband returned and stated that the card was declined so he could only put the $3 cash in that he had in his pocket. I of course denied that it should have declined as I knew there were funds available. My husband handed me the card so that I could call to check the balance and he turned to pump the fuel.

Just as he finished pumping the fuel there was a horrible accident at the traffic light in front of the gas station where as a Black pickup truck traveling what had to have been approx. 60 MPH rear ended a small sized car. The impact of the collision caused the small car to spin several times, ricocheting off of other vehicles that were at the intersection. The ENTIRE trunk and back seat of the small car was crushed, however the driver stepped from the car UNINJURED! The man that had caused the accident jumped out of his vehicle and fled the scene on foot throwing suspicious items as he ran. As we witnessed this, we sat in awe. Always keeping my camera near I began to film what was going on. It is a small camera, so it only filmed for about 5 minutes, but just as it ended filming the realization of what really transpired hit me like a load of bricks!

You see, had the card been approved or even if the swipe had worked on the gas pump, my husband would have finished pumping the gas and we would have been on our way home. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT!!! We would have been hit by a car going 60 MPH with a full tank of gas in our car. As the realization set in chills went up my spine and tears came to my eyes.  MY GOD had ONCE AGAIN saved my life!!! You see, this is not the first time that God has been there for me, and I know it will not be the last. I thank God for all that he has done in my life, and all he continues to do. Thank you for allowing me to share.

-S. B.

Apostle Renee showed me something that was dead. It was not presumed to be dead it was obviously and visibly dead. There was no doubt in my mine that there was no life or hopes of life. Apostle spoke life to it and exactly 6 days later there was visible signs of not just life but growth. I am still in awe of what my own eyes witnessed!

-Pastor Patrick & Prophet Dillon

Good morning Pastor Renee, God has blessed me with the "tool" of my broker license.  I see this as a tool not a title.  I want to reach and help more people. Thanks so much for praying me through.

-N. B.

Prior to going to church on 4/19/09, I was making lunch for myself. I was preparing salmon crochets. While cooking, the hot oil from the pan popped up and splashed in my face right across my eyes. I was stunned for a moment then I put cold water on my face, especially my eyes.

After a short while, I noticed that I did not feel any discomfort or pain and I resumed cooking. I ate and then noticed that there were no marks or pain where the oil hit me. If I had not been the victim of the hot grease I would have thought that this never happened. But, I looked at my finger and there I saw a blister/burn caused by a lesser contact by the oil.  God is awesome! He saved me from facial and eye damage and just to show that a miracle occurred, he showed proof of the severity of the injury.

-V. B.

If everything that we ask for works out just as we anticipate; if we receive exactly what we deserve; if we are spared from ever being attacked by the enemy; we would never need God's miracles!. To God Be The
Glory, Amen!!!!

-Apostle R.

Every where Apostle Richards goes, God sends His signature to assure her that He is with her. The miracles of our first sanctuary/home can be seen now at her new home, the new sanctuary and the administrative offices of this church! The settings changed but the powerful affect of His anointing is obvious in each of the three new settings. If God is with you every where that you go, His affects will be everywhere!

- D. C.

I had feared that with all the many major first events going on in my life that I would not finish any to see either of them come to fruition. Well, I now have a degree, a husband, and a trust in my heavenly father as never before! Then to top it all off, I made the dean's list again after fearing the grade of a recent presentation would fail me. My God came through for me yet again!!!

- D. W.

Court was a month away from when I received my ticket that I did not deserve. I remembered a sermon that Pastor Renee had just preached and I knew that the word had come alive in my life just that quickly. Well, when I phoned her to tell her what happened and she already had instructions for a victory. I followed those instructions to the letter and won my case effortlessly. The police officer was stunned and the judge was complimentary of my presentation. If we obey, we will win. But winning does require work on our part!!

-B. W.

Since officially linking up with this church in February, unmerited favor has been overwhelming me!

-N. B.

For the past couple of months each night I would have "hot flashes" and could not get a good night's sleep. In addition to "the flashes" I had a great deal of facial hair.  During our twenty-one day corporate fast at church which some of us extended to a forty-two day Mega Fast, I did not pluck the hair from my face because none grew and I was able to sleep like a baby. The power of God heals, restores and brings balance.

-V. B.

Worship brought me to tears today and lifted that spirit of heaviness that has been upon me. The freedom I felt was what caused the tears to flow and to release my heavy burdens.

-V. B.

What a beautiful wedding! Pastor prophesied to my bride exactly fifteen month's ago about this day and it happened just like Apostle Renee said that it would. We had not even met yet when my wife was told to expect me. God is faithful!!!!

-K. W.

This church is amazing! The Word of God is so true for me again today!

-C. S.

I and my family have been away from church for six weeks and my life was spiraling out of control and actually worse than before coming to Armed To Conquer. Well, the Word of God was right on time for me as usual and afterwards, pastor hugged me and told me how much she had missed my presence. Then I told her of a situation that I was going through and she didn't respond verbally she just reached into her bag and pulled out a sealed envelope which was addressed and mailed to the associate pastor back on February 19th.

I was confused at first until I read the letter and it was about myself and my family. She had gotten a very important message from the Lord about my family and the future from God and mailed it to the associate pastor just to make sure that she had a witness and a post mark to prove when the prophesy had come to her. Every word was true just as though she had been communicating with us every day. Things that she couldn't possibly know were in the letter. I had chills all over each time I went to a new sentence. She told me that even though I was not here, God still works through her for me because she is responsible for my soul. I am still speechless!

-S. C.

I gave Pastor Renee a book of my dreams and the next Sunday she delivered every interpretation for each one. I was so in awe until I was actually afraid to open it. I know that some of my questions will be answered when I finally read the interpretations.

-L. L.

I went to make a church deposit and I was detained where I would normally have postponed it for later. Well, when I reached the bank with the deposit, the bank had just been robbed moments earlier and the police had the place surrounded. If I had not been detained, the deposit would have been stolen. Jesus is a hedge of protection all around us if we stay within His safety by following His instructions!

-Pastor

God has caused my case to be dismissed. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!!

-L. L.

I had to miss several worship services at Armed To Conquer and I realized that I longed for the Word of God from this place. It feels good to be back!!

-C. S.

My cellular was on the counter and water was spilled without my knowledge. When I retrieved the phone it was sitting in a puddle of water. I just knew that the phone was toast and when I opened the back of the phone, the water damage indicator was red. Well, a day after, I was preparing to get another phone when I received a call through the water damaged cell. It has been working fine since! The power of God is amazing beyond measure!!!

-Pastor, P.

I had been promising a friend of mine that I would visit his church for the past year. I decided that I wasn't going to be able to do both churches and so, I came for my visit to Armed To Conquer. The Word of God was FRESH and well delivered!!!

Then, to my surprise, Apostle Richards started talking about writing down your dreams and that an interpreter has been provided for you. She said that important messages from God are being missed and answers to prayers are being forfeited. There is no way she could have known that just last week I had a dream that not only puzzled me but it troubles me until this day very hour. She volunteered and said that she would be honored to interpret because gifts are meant to be given away. I will send her my dream!

-N. C.

I had a dream (night vision) on last night and it came to pass in the exact order of the details of my dream. The people, places and things were exactly as in my dream. This has never happened to me before and no interpretation was needed because I knew exactly what was going to happen and I was prepared because I was forewarned by a dream. WOW is right for this page, this church and especially my God's power!!!!!!

-V. B.

During this time that we, Armed To Conquer, have set aside for the Lord, He has produced such clarity and specifics of His instructions to His people for His sake. I am able to do the impossible merely because of listening to and obeying His instructions about what He says I can do by faith!

-Pastor, P.

The one heart that God promised Armed To Conquer in His Word to us and our financial partners during this time is incredible. We are all beyond being of one mind or on one accord; so the next level of oneness must be one heart! Lord, we thank you for your love gift!!!!

-Apostle, R.

Pastor Richards warned me about a particular part of my life where God wanted changes back in April of last year. I didn't really pay too much attention until what she warned then happened about 5 weeks ago. I spoke with her again and told her my plans to correct that area of my life and she encouraged me to focus on a particular part of my spiritual life until my plan for my physical life could be put into place. She also prayed for and with me, she took the time to teach me spiritual things from the scriptures and even coached me through the process of rebuilding. She encouraged me and helped me in some other areas that are linked to the one where I was suffering loss. I really appreciate her for working with me!

Well, in this economy and only after being out of work for 4 weeks, I have a new job! Prayer changes things!!!

-D. R. C.

Worship made me intoxicated today. As much as I wanted to concentrate on the sermon because pastor spoke from my favorite (of all time) scripture; the Spirit of the Lord had me under His influence!!!

- V. B.

A physical manifestation of the Lord's presence was captured on film today in the sanctuary!

- Pastor, P.

Apostle Renee told us to expect visions that we have never had before this week. Well, I have had dreams more frequently this week than before. But, I didn't realize that dreams were included in those visions until I heard it from pastor on Sunday. She said that dreams are merely night visions (Job 4:13 & Job 33:15 KJV). She also shared that we should write down our dreams because they all mean something and are messages. Then, I found out that she interpreted dreams of other members of church and they all came to pass just as she interpreted. Who knew?

-D. L.

I was phoned by an Elder of Armed to Conquer with a message from Apostle Richards. Because I feel a part of the ministry and committed myself as a financial partner, Apostle Richards gave me a Word from the Lord just as she had for those in church service on Sunday. That Word was straight to the point and right on time. I have not talked to her or anyone else about this. I had just wondered about the very thing that she gave me scripture to live by!

-N. B.

Apostle Renee prophesied over me on Sunday and on Monday (the very next day) what she told me to put on the back burner was confirmed by two of the industries largest companies. She said, "What should be the focus of your efforts has you right at the threshold of success." I put the deal through that she advised on today (Wednesday) just three days after her powerful, Spirit-filled Word of God to me. Our Father's timing has messed me up!!!

-B. W.

What a friend we have in Jesus! He allowed Pastor Renee to warn me about a work situation that would affect my income. She gave me details over three weeks ago. I got a call today and I was not surprised with what should be bad news because I had heard it before it actually happened. My heart was prepared and I know that the warning came so things can work out for my good!

- D. B.

We saw, heard and felt physical manifestations of the Holy Spirit in our sanctuary today. This visionary ushered us into our maker's presence!

-Pastor, P.

On December 31, 2003, Apostle Richards asked for a triple portion of anointing when she went to the alter of a local church. The pastor of that church didn't know what a triple portion of anointing would be like but admitted that he had only heard of a double portion. Well, I believe God granted Prophetess Richards her request because the word of God came to each individual three consecutive but different ways today in church!

-D. C.

This Word of the Lord is living. I can actually see it play out in my life from week to week just as pastor teaches and preaches. At my age I had gotten used to expecting nothing different of my faith until Armed To Conquer! The flow of the Word of God literally took my breath away today!

-V. G.

I now understand my gift and why things happen for me the way that they do. I now have scripture to stand on when times get rough emotionally for me and my children now understand spiritual things. The church sang Happy Birthday to me in advance of my birthday and I got all of this from one service at Armed To Conquer!

-L. L.

This woman of God prayed in tongues, prophesied about each person's prayers to the Lord and gave specific scripture with total address for everyone who was present in church. Each scripture was pertaining to each person's prophecy and hit the nail right on the head. She continued this for one hour and fifteen minutes straight. Then she taught a mini-lesson on spiritual gifts which confirmed everything that happened in the sanctuary.  Apostle Richards was used by God to show all of the gifts to us in person. I believe in spiritual gifts but, I have never seen and heard anything like this. I believe even more now!

-C. S

I was fired from my job because I lost my baby-sitter. Pastor Renee had mentioned to me that tithing is like insurance for your income and I believed her but I didn't take heed to her warnings. Well, I vowed to the Lord that if he would give me another job, then I would give Him my 10%that He wants from me. Well, He gave me more than I asked for or even imagined because I not only have my old job back but, I have better working hours which work well with my childcare schedule. Oh, by the way, I now have two sitters for the price of the last one!

-T. J.

Greetings Pastor Renee, I know God is doing wonderful things for you and your church family.  I think about you all the time and feel so blessed to know you and to witness how God allows me to meet the most fascinating people who have special talents and gifts. Also, since you stay on my mind, I want to start sharing my tithe, because I feel like a part of your congregation and I want to share with you to help spread your gift throughout the world.

-N. B.

I came to visit Armed To Conquer after receiving bread from your ministry. I thought, "Nobody gives away anything for free?" Well, not only did I receive free bread but today, I received spiritual freedom through the Word of God and free CD's of previous sermons!!!

-S. P.

I should have been locked up for a repeat mistake in my business affairs and yet the Lord spared me.

-L. L.

I walked into this place in the middle of worship and immediately it was as though my eyes were opened. This is the first church where I have visited and walked away with a complete understanding of the bible, the preacher and the message specifically for me. Usually, I have tons of questions left without an answer. But, all my questions were answered within one service. I had to join!

-R. P.

This is a special time for our church (Armed To Conquer) and the benefits of being a member of such a God-loving, God-fearing church is just endless!!! Just the worship alone promotes healing. I have been having difficulty with back pain and my knees have caused difficulty in coming up and down my stairs at home. Well, after worshipping on Sunday, I noticed on Monday that I have no pain or stiffness in my back or knees. The ease in which I now walk and sit is as though I have returned to my youth! God is more than good, He is great!!!

-B. W.

I was laid-off from my job three weeks ago and I received unemployment a week later which was only $100.00 less than what I would have brought home if I had been at work all week. Well two weeks ago I was called back to work after my job had arranged for a week-on/week-off  work schedule. I have worked for two consecutive weeks which automatically takes me off unemployment and the lay-off roster. I never missed a financial beat! I tithe at my home church and I know that my giving to Armed To Conquer and Pastor Renee's original prayers to obtain the job keeps me covered!

-D. R.

I have an impossible schedule between two part-time positions, classes and an externship. Pastor Renee' has been coaching, encouraging and even pushing me since I started school over a year and a half ago. My faith has increased more than I thought possible because I dared to trust God as never before. The miracles are just multiplying and my faith is huge because I obeyed the voice of the Lord through Pastor Renee Richards. Nothing is impossible with God!

-D. B.

Apostle Richards is so blessed! When all of her neighbor's flower gardens have no sign of life because of winter, she has daffodils in full blossom just in time for her birthday. Only our Heavenly Father could have given her those flowers in the middle of January for a February bloom!

-D. C.

My pastor is such a blessing to me. She phoned me to check on me and I had a headache. I thought I knew the cause of it yet she stated the reason for my pain, explained why it had come and as soon as she finished telling me, it was totally gone. Who needs medicine when the Lord's power is available through this powerful Apostle!

-V. B.

The Lord woke Pastor Renee from a sound sleep on the morning of her birthday to give me an urgent and clear message that could affect the rest of my life. She phoned me immediately at 2:30 am, just as I was returning from the restroom to my bed. Not only did I need the message but I needed to be awake and coherent to receive it. What timing!

-B. W.

I wanted to thank you again for your donation and delivery of the bountiful bread last Wednesday. It was so very welcome to the 19 needy families that received on that day. Several families expressed how much they love the wheat loaves.

Our volunteers were quite touched as well... as one of them said, "This is like manna from heaven." I was told of your efforts to get to us on time and I truly appreciate your delivering to us and the kindness and generosity of your spirit. May many blessings be returned to you!

-M. W.

I feel so good about the pre-marital counseling that Pastor Renee makes mandatory before she marries any couple. My bride said that she feels very motivated to follow God's instructions for our life together!

-R. M.

You reached out to help me, not even knowing me. Thank you (Apostle Richards) and I will never forget the opportunity to help with your ministry bread project and your kindness!

-A. W.

I had a court date and Pastor was with me for support. She prayed before leaving and asked the Lord to redeem the time and angels to be dispatched to help us. And even though we faced an hour plus drive (not factoring in rush-hour traffic), we arrived from door to door in exactly one hour. Pastor began to worship and praise God in song when traffic was stop-and-go on every secondary road in route to the interstate. The freeway was miraculously clear from 8:15 until 8:30 a.m.  We parked, walked over to the court, went through security, pastor stopped at the restroom and then we traveled the escalators to the courtroom elevators on the floor above. Without incident, we entered  the courtroom 15 minutes in advance of my court time. God definitely redeemed the time because I have two witnesses that I did not speed!

Pastor Richards, thank you for telling me the truth about myself and what my possible consequences could have cost me. Conviction made way for complete honesty and what I was holding most dear was spared and even made better because I obeyed. Your advice is not easy to take but it does work if it is chosen!

-D. B.

I have been verbally abused for as long as I can remember. My parent is now elderly and is cared for by my sister in another state. My sister has a four month internship to complete and my parent can not be left alone. I offered my home for as long as there was a desire to stay and the closer the date came, the more demanding and abusive behavior I experienced.

A friend noticed that I saddened and was depressed each time I mentioned the up-coming visit. After that comment, I got on my knees and prayed for resolution and strength. The following day, my sister called to tell me that a nursing service had them on a waiting list for the last four years and called to arrange to come to complete an "intake". The service provides in-home  nurse care, homemaker, meals and nurses' aide. I thank God for the blessing of deliverance of supplying my parent's need to remain at home.

-V. B.

The worship at Armed To Conquer is so good until the presence of the Lord is obvious. Tears stream from my eyes almost continually each time I have visited and the Word of God is so easy to receive!

-Y. F.

You just can't find this kind of pure truth anywhere else!

-C. S.

I am so touched by what you are doing in the Stone Mountain community (Bread Project) . I am not in need of bread but I would like to donate finances to help with supplies. I will call again for information on how to give.

-C. G.

My struggle is over! My case was dismissed!!!

-J. H.

I am honored to be the first to successfully complete Apostle, Richards' "Spiritual Awakening" course. What a mind-blowing experience this year alone has been!! I can not even begin to explain the positive changes that Christ has made in my life since my walk with this wonderful person began three and a half years ago. I look forward to being of greater assistance to God through this laborer in His vineyard because I can never even begin to repay her for all the marvelous favor and blessing that she has introduced to my entire family. I am truly empowered!

-Pastor, P.

I had come to witness my son's ordination which took place on New Year's Eve. I was not well in my body and I was not quite sure if I would be able to support him on this very special day. Yet, I pressed my way. Pastor Richards asked that each person share what we expected of the new year and I of course mentioned my desire for improved health.

She stopped the service and gently mentioned to me that I didn't have to wait for a healing because Jesus is right here now. She gathered everyone together holding hands and she prayed over me as she held my hand. She told me to draw strength from her and I did. Only a few minutes passed and I began to feel like myself again. What a blessing. I'm so glad I came!

Last year I struggled to provide for my son's college needs as a single parent.  I placed his name on my church alter and listened to God's instructions regarding my finances. Because of prayer, my son now has the Hope Scholarship and he has a campus job teaching math.  He was singled out for the position by his math professor.  Also, this semester he made the Dean's List! God's grace and favor did it again!!!

- V. B.

I attended ATC on Sunday just because I always get a personal word  from this woman of God and I needed to hear from the Lord immediately about my situation. I never talked to Pastor Richards directly yet, it seemed in the middle of her sermon, the word of the Lord told me exactly what I needed to do and why it was needed now. I could not help but to shout and joy flooded my soul when I received such a definitive answer to such a life-altering question. Jesus released me from bondage and He did it through Pastor Richards.

My one-year-old was burning up with fever one night and nothing would cool him. I remembered the oil that I asked Pastor Renee to bless for me and I anointed my son's head with it. Immediately, his fever was gone and my son drifted to the most sound and peaceful sleep. God's power heals!

- J. H.

Thanks for all you do in helping me fulfill my dreams!

- Z. S.

I love planning and helping others and so God led me to an event planning course. I didn't have the money but the Lord found a way. Upon completion, the course provided a miniature diploma at no extra cost yet the full-sized diploma would cost $50.00. Yesterday, I got a call from the college notifying me that I needed to come to pick up my beautiful full-sized diploma. All you have to do is your part. God does the rest!

- V. B.

At my very first visit to ATC, I have never felt so much love in one place from what should have been perfect strangers. This woman of God spoke words to me that only God could have given to deliver to me about my life and my situation. She has given me more instruction and answers in one service than I have received in my entire life. All I can say is wow and I just had to become a part of this living word!

 - L. L.

I have disobeyed some recent instructions that pastor gave to me. But she is so understanding and patient with me. She is never judgmental even though she may admit disappointment. She has encouraged me that I can still achieve God's will for my life. She was honest to say that I have made it harder for myself but never impossible. I feel so much better now!

- J. H.

Two years after our first meeting, I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with Apostle Richards again. She encouraged my empty soul and I was revived quickly as she spoke to me. I could first hardly hold up my head and within minutes I wanted to run and shout but I was in the workplace. I must get more of this powerful word!

- M. S.

With major companies downsizing to almost bare-bones, the Lord is really protecting the members of Armed To Conquer and our finances.

- P. W.

I do not know anyone who is in need of bread, however, I feel that you and your church family should be commended for the ministry.  I teach, so I am also a teacher in the kid's ministry in church. It is indeed a blessing to be able to serve.

- J. A.

I was with Apostle Richards mailing some items at the post office. She walked past a woman filling out an address on a large box to get in line. Apostle Richards had her back completely turned away from the woman when I noticed the woman frown because she was obviously filling out the address while waiting in line. Without one word from me or even any advance warning, pastor turned and apologized for breaking the line and smiled while she graciously moved behind the woman.

The whole attitude of the woman changed and was suddenly pleasant as she talked briefly to pastor. I was amazed!!!

-D. C.

Pastor taught in Bible Study on Wednesday, "Who Should We Honor?" I applied the lesson immediately and immediately I saw the favor that she spoke of being associated with honor. Life is much easier for me internally and externally.

-P. W.

I was dealing with moving some precious antiques and a very expensive, priceless antique television fell over on its face and miraculously the picture tube of that TV did not break. It fell on the rubber tire of a hand-truck sitting aimlessly in the middle of the floor. I believe my Daddy (Father God) ordered the cushion for that fall!

-B. W.

I was dizzy and having chest pains. The doctor ran every test in the book and found nothing. My wife rubbed my chest with the oil that Pastor Richards blessed. I have had no more chest pains!

-R. M.

Every time I go to service, Pastor always teaches and preaches on the exact subject where I am having difficulty. When the service is over, I know exactly what to do about the situation and my prayers have been answered. Thank God for my church!!

-J. H.

It has been a long time since I've spent any time with my dad. My mother phoned him and he moved heaven and earth to get me this past week-end. I not only had time with my dad, he actually made time to spend the entire week-end with me and we were able to really talk and share for the very first time. God is good!!!

-D. C.

Pastor told me that I was worrying about having to go home but here is home now. She asked me on last Sunday to write down the words to a song that I wrote for my church family, Armed To Conquer. I do not write/compose songs but I love to sing God's praises. I had the words to the song sealed in an envelope and only delivered it to Pastor Renee after service was over. She spoke the words to my song to me as she spoke encouragement to my heart during service. The words of my song and the words she spoke over me were the same and even the vision she described about it was all in agreement. My God has spoken directly to me through my leader once again!

-V. G.

I was hearing impaired and Pastor prayed for me on Sunday. I was slain in the Spirit when she touched my face and when I got up and returned to my seat in the back of the church, I could hear the music and swayed in harmony with it. Normally, I have to sit up close so that I can read Pastor's lips. Also, the anointing in the sanctuary usually interferes with my hearing-aid and cause a feed back sound. Today, I could hear and enjoy the music which was crystal clear!

-S. C.

The Holy Spirit was so obvious in Armed To Conquer on this past Sunday. Chairs had to be pulled away as people were stretched out everywhere under the the power of God. The leaders of the church stepped over people in order to help Apostle Richards as she ministered not just to our souls but, brought deliverance to our bodies and minds as well. What an experience!!!

-R. M.

Thank you for your prayers. My leg was blackened and covered with a bio-film that encased worms, yes worms. It started breaking down last week! Thank you so much! God bless all of you. I have returned to work and am truly blessed by God.
