  
My Testimony
This is a love-letter to my LORD
and Saviour, JESUS Christ, Son of GOD and Very GOD, in
appreciation for all that He has done for me! In HIS
Service, For HIS Glory: Carole A.R. Lilly, Servant of the
Most High GOD.
My life, my health, my strength ... comes from The LORD,
maker of Heaven and Earth! When you see me working hard
for JESUS - you are watching a miracle of life! I was
born a S.I.D.S. baby and frequently stopped breathing, my
Mother prayed for me and the Lord put the life back into
my body, and the breath of GOD into my lungs. I thank
GOD, that He gave me a Mother and Father who watched over
me and didn't leave me lifeless in the crib... The
frequent anoxia left me with learning disabilities, but
GOD put His Holy Word in my heart and mind and blessed my
feeble abilities so much, that with The LORD's help and
direction I was able to achieve great things in life. I
graduated top of my class from Medical School - the LORD
blessed me to absorb every word of medical teaching... I
had a very successful life and business, through
continuous onslaught of enemy attacks on my health and
life. The process was greatly delayed, due to clean
living, eating a balanced diet, drinking water and milk,
and taking wonderful nutritional supplements that
restored my health on a daily basis, but working made me
so sick. The harder I worked - the sicker I got - until
there was no life left in me again. I was bed-ridden,
unable to walk or even feed myself. My sweet Son, my best
friend and confidant, stood by me through the most
difficult times of my life, helping me make good
decisions with the Wisdom of GOD invested in him. My
loving Husband cared for me and spoon fed me, provided
for me as I was not able to what I loved most - work. I
continued to get weaker and lethargic, I was finally
diagnosed: CFIDS - Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction
Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with intense body, muscle, bone
and skin pain; Neuralgia, Left sided body weakness,
Thyroid death, Stress induced illnesses: Panic/Anxiety
Disorder, Hypertension and heart trouble, Bells Palsy
causing facial drooping. There was nothing the Doctors
could do to cure me; only treat the symptoms. They made
me as comfortable as possible while I waited to die. But
GOD wasn't finished with me yet! With nothing left but my
Faith in GOD, knowing that He loves me, and has my best
interest at heart, I continued to seek GOD's will for my
life. A promise and prophecy was given to me that my
health would be restored when I moved to Forest, VA. My
husband and I were in the process of helping our Pastor,
Reverend Jeff Spencer with his new church assignment and
were commuting over an hour each way to help out with his
new church, of which I am a member, and serve on the
Worship Team. I am a born-again believer, and I have
given my all to GOD, but now I am learning to lean on Him.
Not able to do anything in my own strength... I learned
that my life, my health, my strength ... comes from The
LORD, maker of Heaven and Earth! Daily I anoint myself
with oil and consecrate myself to The LORD and His
service... I read and study the Word of GOD, Praise and
Worship Him, and pray, pray, pray! I pray The Lord's
Prayer, The Prayer of Jabez, pray in the Spirit, pray for
others, pray for the needs sent to me on the Prayer
Ministry. I dedicate my body to the Lord, requesting that
He would give me "The Mind of Christ, The Heart of
GOD, and The Wisdom of GOD" to know and to do that
which is right. and that He will raise up His strength
within me to accomplish what I must accomplish this day.
Daily I walk with GOD, working hard for JESUS, cleaning
the roads in my community for my LORD and my neighbors. I
pray and praise as I walk and pick up trash, and claim my
community for Christ! The LORD gives me His strength to
accomplish His work, and I have dedicated myself to GOD's
service in whatever way He chooses to use me. Over the
years GOD has healed me of so many things that I know I
can trust Him with my life, as He controls my life,
health and strength. Our GOD is a GOD of Miracles! I am
just one of them!
I am currently a Music Minister for Bread Of Heaven
Ministries, and Minister in Training studying under
Kenneth Hagin RHEMA Bible Training Institute. Another
miracle ~ The LORD gave me the gift of music and is
continually teaching me more and more - I sing, play
rhythm keybord and guitar; and currently lead a Worship
Team.

Minister Carole
