A couple of years ago, one grandchild who has grown to adulthood and is not involved in any church at all said, "Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles just doesn't know our family." I felt pretty good about that. We get requests from kids and grandkids to pray about things and there have been some good answers to prayer.

That is wonderful, Bro. Sam! You and your wife are what would be called first
generation Apostolic. It didn't start with me, but every generation needs to
do their part.
In 1933, the Apostolic Pentecostal message came to my grandmother Lizzie,
who with her young son (14 yrs old) my late father, heard, seached out, be-
lieved and obeyed the message. God didn't just heal grandma, but filled her
with His Spirit too.
We are now into the sixth generation of Apostolic truth now. To God be all the
glory, honor and praise! Gotta start with someone!

"lord if you would see fit, let me live to raise my three children". My dad was 8, brother
5, and little sister, 2 1/2 yrs. Old. She lapsed into a coma to awake the next evening. Her
fever had broke, she was hungry and thirsty. She outlived the doctor who said she was
dying by over 50 yrs. She lived 58 more yrs after his said she was dying. I heard her say
many times she could feel the cold hand of death creeping up her legs.

I am so thankful to have heard this story over and over throughout my 70 yrs. I did not
witness this firsthand but it was passed on to me by my grandmother who lived to see
our first grandbaby born.it was her first great-grandchild. That grandchild just gave us
our first great-grandbaby, 26 yrs later.

This testimony was passed on to me also by my father, and i make sure that it is passed
on to our children, grandchildren and our first little great-grandchild when she is old enough
to hear and understand. This testimony, among other testimonies through the years, has
caused me to trust in a god who is able to do exceeding miracleous things!
God told the children of israel to tell their children and their children's children about this one
true and living god!
Jesus christ the same yesterday and today and forever!! I believe in a god who cannot lie
and he cannot fail!

According to post on FB page for 'prayer for Carroll & Priscilla Mcgruder' the post stated last night Sis Priscilla smelled crawfish that friends from church had brought over, she sat up in bed and told them she wanted some and ate and laughed with her sisters

So everyone continue to pray for her & her family, the Lord has all things under control, but I know they all need strength and rest.

Has anyone heard that Sis. McGruder went home to be with the Lord? I just read a comment on fb that sounded like that.

I just now received this email from WNOP......
Praying for this family.......what a precious and lovely woman Sis McGruder is.

Update on Sister Priscilla McGruder
WNOP is saddened to report that Sister Priscilla McGruder's health care has changed from treatment to hospice care. This beautiful saint of God has battled cancer for years and has been an inspiration to all of us. Now the journey leads her close to the gates of heaven which she has so passionately sung about for her entire life! As an artist and minister of the Gospel Priscilla McGruder has been acclaimed; acknowledged; awarded; appreciated; and best of all elevated to a level of acceptence experienced by very few. At this moment she is surrounded by her loving and devoted family. We are all trying desperately to see this from "Heaven's Point of View"!! Thank you for your continued prayers and support for the McGruder family.

"Mom is resting peaceful. More family is here. She is waiting to get her reward that we all know she has earned. Please be respectful of my family and stop posting that she has passed. It will happen when God is ready and we will be here to usher her over. Until then, unless you hear it from a family member please stop!"

Thank you, Abi...

My bishop's wife has been in close contact with the family and said 45 minutes ago that she is yet holding on...
