Powerful Proof: Personal stories of God's powerful presence in our lives

In a world turning from God, how do you prove Him?

Are there times in your life when you want to share your love of God and His reality, but you don't know how? How can you do so in a loving, non-threatening way?

In Powerful Proof, Linda Hackenbruck shares with you her personal stories of God's love and transforming power; stories she shares when asked why she lives for God. They span decades of loving and living for Him and are filled with His miracles. Throughout her life, God stayed with her, as her confidant, comforting her in trials and answering her simple prayers in unexpected ways. His deep love led her through pain and suffering, harm to her infant daughter and the death of her son. As she was broken and emptied of herself, God changed her for His purposes and use in His kingdom, finally filling her with unbelievable joy. The following are glimpses into what He has done:

*How He used a broken tail light to save her son from continuing down a dark path.

*How He saved her infant daughter's life after autopsy papers and a burial outfit had been requested

*How, after three years of trying to forgive the doctor who had hurt her baby, God completed her forgiveness in the most unlikely way.

*How, after decades of prayer, her father experienced two miracles and came to know God as personal and loving.

*How He delivered a new dishwasher to her front door, even though she had "given up" dishwashers.

*How her young daughter prayed for a Christmas pageant dress and it arrived in a paper bag, on the front porch, two days before the pageant.

*How He saved her husband from stage 4 cancer through prayer and His intervention.

Linda will share truths she has learned in her lifetime of trusting God:

*He is always trustworthy.

*Giving up your will in obedience to His brings abundant blessing.

*You can trust Him with your children, whether He miraculously saves them or shocks you by taking them home to Himself.

*He always hears our prayers and answers them in His time and in unexpected ways.

*He talks directly to us in ways we can understand.

*He is able to heal us physically and emotionally.

*He loves an honest and humble heart.

*He can take our anger and pain and turn them to joy.

*If we ask, He will give us wisdom in our life situations.

*We can't out love God.

Our world is working hard to make Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit irrelevant and foolish. Many people struggle with believing in Them. When asked why she lives for God and can be so sure He is real, Linda tells them God is not only real but is lovingly involved in her everyday life. She shares her stories and people listen, because they are stories of God in action. They are stories of a God they can relate to and a God they can believe in. They are her absolute truth as she has lived it. She joyfully shares them with you.
