Tammy Hotsenpiller

Story of Hannah in the bible.  It was very difficult for Hannah so Hannah poured out her heart to God.  Drew and his wife Whitney went through a very tough time with her first pregnancy being a miscarriage on Drew’s birthday.  Just like Hannah gave her miracle up to God so did Drew.  Drew and Whitney had a miracle baby boy.  How does Drew raise up his son?  God so clearly revealed to Drew to pray over him and be the spiritual leader of his home.  The fasting focus is:  Brokeness.  The testimony of Nehemiah.  We don’t realize how powerful our testimony is.  Nehemiah’s heart was broken.  He needed a miracle.  God sees our heart in distress.  Remember some things only happen by prayer and fasting.

Today we are talking about the miracle where Joshua told the sun to stand still. Where has God done a miracle in your life where it doesn’t make any earthly sense? Melody tells us of her story. What is going on today in your generation? The fasting focus today is Protection. We are living in a scary time in our culture. What areas do we need protection today?

Today we are talking about miracles in the day to day. Joshua was leading the Israelites around the City of Jericho and then the walls came tumbling down. Tammy asks Melody, “If you were there how would you feel?” Then Tammy asks Melody about a story where she had to trust God. Listen to this powerful story of breakthrough. It was a miracle. The fasting focus is on favor. If you were asking for favor what would it be?

We need to depend on God everyday. We need fresh manna. The Israelites were in the wilderness grumbling and God said He would provide for them daily. We struggle with God providing for us daily. We must trust and believe. Fasting focus today is Jonah. And listen to Bethany’s story about unforgiveness and what Holy Spirit said to her.

Today is about unity, community, and people. What do you think life groups were back in Moses’ time? Fasting Focus is on Jehoshaphat.

2nd Miracle was Moses and the burning bush. We all have an encounter with a burning bush and we hear the voice of God. He wants to speak to us. We need to listen. God wants to work in our life. Are you asking God what your assignment is? Fasting focus. INTIMACY.

Sophia was a firefighter's wife.  In 2015 she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Breast cancer was hard on Sophia and hard on her marriage.  Sophia met with other cancer patients while going through her chemo infusions.  The doctor called her “GI Jane”.  We all have battles to fight in life.  But we choose how we do that.  At the end of her treatments Sophia’s husband changed.  He left her.  That was more difficult than the cancer.  You don’t want to miss what else happened and what God did and how Sophia is an advocate for firefighters.  God said, “I’ll take it from here."

Everybody has a book of life and everybody has many chapters.  Julie graduated in education and biblical studies from Minnesota where she is from.  What was stirring in Julie?  Seeking God to know what was right for her.  Some doors after college opened for her with Teen Challenge.  Then she made her way to California.  Julie wanted to change the page to the next chapter.  She only planned to be here a year.  She came to Influence Church and God opened up an opportunity for her to serve on staff and also to serve at the school of Influence Church.  Listen to the exciting step in her voice as she tells her story.
