A Bridge to Nowhere, a Four-Year-Old's Prayer, and a Doctor Who Said "There Is No Cancer" | Pastor Tim Nicholson — Supernatural Prayer Stories

A Bridge to Nowhere, a Four-Year-Old's Prayer, and a Doctor Who Said "There Is No Cancer" | Pastor Tim Nicholson — Supernatural Prayer Stories

What if the most intimate place you ever met God wasn't a church, a conference, or a mountaintop — but a decommissioned limestone bridge in the middle of a Kansas field that leads absolutely nowhere? In this deeply moving episode of Supernatural Prayer Stories, Rick Osborne sits down with Pastor Tim Nicholson — church revitalization consultant, published author, and four-generation pastor — for one of the most raw, funny, theologically rich, and tear-inducing conversations the show has had. For 25 years, Tim has made an annual pilgrimage to an 1886 limestone double-arch bridge in Clements, Kansas — no road in, no road out, just him and God. He goes to ask four questions he's terrified to stop asking: Am I building something you never called me to? Am I using methods no longer relevant to my current assignment? Am I spending time on something that won't last? And every year, he walks away carrying two things — something to let go of, and something to commit to more deeply than before. It was on that bridge that God gave him three words that cracked him open: Clarity is fuel. And the definition of what was draining him — a season of contradiction, when the prophetic and the pathetic in you are at equal arc — is something every honest believer will recognize in themselves. But the miracle story will stop you cold. In 2004, Tim's wife Connie was diagnosed with stage four invasive cancer in her lymph nodes. The top teaching oncologist in Wichita gave them less than 24 hours to return for emergency biopsy surgery. That evening, Connie's whispered prayer was barely audible: "Lord, these five kids we adopted have already lost one mother. Please don't let them lose another." Then a four-year-old girl — adopted just one year earlier — came running in from outside, looked at her mother's face, placed her tiny hand on Connie's chest, and said: "Dear God, heal my mama's blood." Then pulled her hand back, confused, and apologized — she didn't know why she'd said blood. The next morning, every blood test came back negative. The MRI showed nothing. The doctor who had planned to use Connie's scans in medical lectures for the rest of her career sat down, took Connie's hand, looked her in the eye, and said: "I do not know what has happened. There is no cancer." This episode also includes: * Tim's "tokens" — physical objects on his shelf that each mark a moment of God's faithfulness, including a piece of Prague cobblestone inscribed with "Don't Settle" * Why he believes the root of America's mental health crisis is double-mindedness — and what Scripture says about it * A pastoral word for the viewer who is watching right now and feeling far from God — and a Spirit-led prayer that breaks every hindrance to intimacy * Why intimacy with God isn't just for you — it has a geography, a legacy, and a ripple effect into everyone around you Pastor Tim doesn't have God figured out — and he'll be the first to tell you that four generations of pastors combining 174 years of wisdom still don't either. But he'd rather spend his life erring on the side of God's goodness than grow bitter waiting for explanations. Proximity and intimacy change how you live. And in turn, they change the lives of everyone around you. 🌐 Connect with Pastor Tim: * Facebook: facebook.com/tim.nicholson.374 * Website: encouragingwordsebooks.com [http://encouragingwordsebooks.com] * Email: bigtm316@gmail.com [bigtm316@gmail.com] 🎙️ Supernatural Prayer Stories is part of the Face to Face with God broadcast with Rick Osborne — real stories of people who pray and expect God to show up. 🔔 Subscribe and never miss an episode.

The Ultimate Prophecy — Every Promise of God Is Already Yours | How to Live in All of Father's Promises (S3E6)

What if you could walk into a prophecy conference and receive the most powerful personal word anyone has ever been given — and it was already yours before you ever arrived? In this episode of Face to Face with God, Rick Osborne shares a download from God that stopped him in his tracks and sent him literally running back to his hotel room to write it down. It came during a moment of honest prayer about personal prophecy — and what God gave him instead was something infinitely bigger: the ultimate prophecy, drawn entirely from the promises of God's Word already given to every believer in the New Covenant. Rick reads the full prophecy live — and then teaches you exactly how to walk in it. In this episode you'll discover: * Why the promises of God in Christ are more powerful than any personal prophetic word you could ever receive * The story of how God "poked" Rick every time he prayed outside of Scripture — and what that season taught him about Romans 12:1–2 * What it truly means to present yourself as a living sacrifice — and why most Christians walk into the throne room as zombies instead * How Isaiah 59:21 unlocks a covenant promise that your mouth would never be empty of God's Word and Spirit * The difference between praying from Adam's identity vs. praying from your identity in Christ — and how it changes everything * A practical, life-changing way to say "Amen" to God's promises in prayer starting today This episode connects directly to the series theme of 2 Corinthians 1:20 — and shows you that the "Amen" you speak isn't just a closing word. It's how you enter the throne room, take your place in Christ, and watch the promises of God come alive. 📖 Want the full text of The Ultimate Prophecy with all the Bible references?

God Told Him to Flip a Coin. Heads Meant Tasmania. | Andrew Corbett

Can you be a serious theologian and still walk in raw, supernatural intimacy with God? Dr. Andrew Corbett's life is the answer. Andrew pastored one church in Northern Tasmania, Australia for 29 years. He holds a Doctor of Ministry, he is finishing a PhD at Monash University, he is a visiting scholar with Reasons to Believe in Los Angeles, and he wrote a book called Five Proofs for the Existence of God. But as Rick puts it on the show, Andrew's whole purpose for knowing about God has always been knowing God. In this conversation Andrew opens up a string of supernatural prayer stories that prove it. In this episode: - The vision of a coin. God said, "Tails you can go wherever you wanna go. Heads you go to Tasmania." Andrew flipped a real coin from his desk drawer, and he and his wife Kim packed a shipping container with no idea where they were going. - A week after arriving in Tasmania with nowhere to land, Andrew was asked to become senior pastor of a church that grew from 18 adults to hundreds over the next 29 years. - The 2022 brain injury that had been 34 years in the making, the two brain hemorrhages that followed, and the doctor who called it a "ticking time bomb." - The 9:40pm phone call from his longtime pastor Phil Hills, with a word that reframed everything Andrew was walking through. - The man Andrew felt led to pray for, who heard him preach one Sunday, went home, and died that same day. - The "dumb prayer" of a lonely young street preacher, a three-day fast, and a recurring dream about a woman he thought was named "Ken." - How Kim's own prayer while hitchhiking led her straight to the meeting where she and Andrew met. - The 366 daily Bible videos Andrew recorded right before COVID shut the churches down, walking viewers from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. Notable quotes: "You are going to complete this PhD. You are going to produce a document that will change the course of theological history." — Phil Hills, the prophetic word Andrew received "The Bible for many people is a box of jigsaw pieces, and the problem is they don't have the box lid." — Dr. Andrew Corbett Connect with Dr. Andrew Corbett: - Daily Bible videos: youtube.com/@DrAndrewC - Free small-group Bible study series (300+ studies): andrewcorbett.net - Biblical, theological, and apologetic material: findingtruthmatters.org - His tribute to his "posthumous mentor" F.W.

🎙 Don't Forget God's Benefits! — Your Covenant Inheritance is Legally Yours | Part 5

📝 Most believers know God has promises. What they don't realize is that those promises aren't just expressions of His love — they are legally binding Covenant terms, backed by a divine oath, and guaranteed by the justice of God himself. And if you don't know about them, you can't take advantage of them. Rick opens with a striking image: what if someone left you a massive inheritance, but you never opened the envelope? That's exactly what's happening to millions of believers who read their Bibles without recognizing the Covenant language God deliberately embedded throughout. In this teaching, Rick reveals: * Why God called His book "The New Testament" — and why that word Testament means Covenant, which means every single promise in your Bible is a legally binding clause with your name on it * The stunning revelation hiding in Psalm 103:2 — that Hebrew word translated "benefits" is actually recompense, a legal term meaning compensation for loss and harm. God isn't just offering blessings. He's offering justice. * How Psalm 103:6 connects directly — God executes acts of righteousness and justice for all the oppressed and defrauded. The promises ARE the verdict. * Why Romans 5:18 is one of the most liberating verses in Scripture — you didn't sign up to be born in Adam's sin, so through Christ's one righteous act, you receive life-giving justification as recompense for what was done to you * How reconciliation in 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 is not just a spiritual term but an accounting term — the accounts have been balanced, the old is gone, and your recompense has arrived * What it means practically to seize the hope in Hebrews 6:17-18 — and why Rick is challenging every listener to start a Promise Journal Rick puts it plainly: "God is saying, do you understand this? You don't have to be defrauded anymore. You don't have to be oppressed anymore. I don't want you to forget my benefits. They're there because I made them for you."

From Demonic Oppression to Walking in Miracles Daily | Jonathan Brenneman — Supernatural Prayer Stories

What does it look like when a timid, oppressed kid who couldn't even share the gospel without stumbling over his words ends up in the poorest neighborhoods of Brazil saying to blind people, "Well, why don't you see now?" — and they do? In this electrifying episode of Supernatural Prayer Stories, Rick Osborne sits down with Jonathan Brenneman — missionary, author, and what he calls simply "a jar of clay" — whose life is a living demonstration that no case is too hard for the Holy Spirit. At 12 years old, Jonathan fell into deep demonic oppression, terrified he had committed the unforgivable sin. Then God showed up — and his body literally vibrated with glory on the floor of a church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as the Father spoke three things over him: I love you. I forgive you. And I'm going to do miracles through your life. He wasn't kidding. In this conversation, Jonathan shares: * The floor-of-the-church encounter at age 12 that shattered shame and launched a lifetime of miracles * Why he now experiences God's tangible glory regularly — and what he's learned about the difference between feeling it and walking in it * The story of an 82-year-old nearly blind woman in a shack neighborhood in Brazil who suddenly started narrating everything she could see — blow by blow — because she was so overwhelmed with joy * How he went from stumbling over gospel conversations to casually saying to a blind man, "Well, you want to see again now?" — and meaning it completely * His understanding of "permanent open heaven" — why he believes heaven is not somewhere you go when you die, but something you carry with you right now * What's really happening in small house meetings across Brazil where entire groups receive prayer and not one person walks away still in pain Jonathan also shares about his book The Mechanics of Miracles — nearly 100 supernatural testimonies plus the theological framework for how God's power actually works and how ordinary believers can partner with it. This is one of those episodes that reminds you: the God of the Bible didn't retire. He's still moving. And He's looking for jars of clay willing to show up. 📖 Get Jonathan's books on Amazon: search Jonathan Brenneman 🌐 Connect with Jonathan: gotoheavennow.com [http://gotoheavennow.com/] 🎙️ Supernatural Prayer Stories is part of the Face to Face with God broadcast with Rick Osborne — real stories of people who pray and expect God to show up. 🔔 Subscribe and never miss an episode.
