Encouragement in Kenya

Bro. Tom, it was recently when i was going through a letter you wrote to me in the year 2000. It was a letter full of encouragement, liftings, and a sense of direction. Bro. When i flash back as from that year to this far it is really by His protection/strength that we are still pressing on towards the higher calling. Bro. Tom and Susan, do you still remember there are teaching  tapes you send me some year’s  back and I have been playing over and over and really it has lifted my faith. Hope and believe there is something big God is preparing us for. The vision may tarry but time for a complishment will come.The work you are doing  is not in vain, God will reward you abundantly. (Pastor from Kenya)

A Must Read for Those Born of the Spirit

Dear Tom, Praise the LORD. Thank you very much for the book you sent me. I received it on 09/26/2011 and read it in two sitings. It is, ’a must read book by every person born of Spirit’. It has revolutionized my heart and fanned the fire of passion for evangelism. My heart is now captive to the ministry of evangelism. I now feel the urgency of sharing the Savior with the lost to rescue their souls from eternal punishment- Pro.24:11-12; 11:30. I believe God will use every person who reads it to touch the world for Christ. May God help me to expend the remaining days of my earthly pilgrimage to discharge my duties faithfully-2Tim4:5. As I was reading it I came across the office of  Apostle (Ephesians 4:11).  I thank you very much for helping me to understand it better. When I was pursuing my diploma of theology, this was one of the controversial ministries for it was argued that the last apostle was John and since his death, about AD 96, there has never risen another one. Thank you for your sacrifice to enable this book reach me for I have been able to learn much and I will be patient like William Carey who spent seven long years in India before baptizing the first convert. I will sow the seed and the results will be left to God. You and your ministry, and your family will always remain in my prayers. I will keep in touch. ( A minister from Kenya)

Thanks from Kenyan Pastor

Thanks Pastor Tom and Susan for the two inspiring books, i.e You Can Touch the World and Filling the Void and The Healing CD. I just received them yesterday. For your information  i have just gone through the first chapter and it was really touching to have the `heart of the father.” It was really written under God’s anointing. (From a pastor from Kenya)

Comments on You Can Touch the World

Thank you for your book! We do need an awakening to the purpose we are here—to show God’s love for all—loveable and unloveable. It is His love that draws us to Him. “Success is becoming Christlike.” What a powerful statement. More of Him—less of me! That has been the cry of my heart. You book has challenged me to trust the Holy Spirit to build, change, and remove in me all that is need to fulfill God’s purpose and plan for my life. When the time comes, may He say, “Well done, good an faithful. . . ” (Chaska, Minnesota)

Thanks for the book. Just finished chapter four. Awesome word on alignment. (Lake Park, Minnesota)

I just finished your book.  I am ready to run out into the streets and tell everyone about Jesus!  Seriously!  It was a great book and really encourages you to get back out there.  Tom, you could get a whole program together for teaching evangelism in the churches.    Oh one last thing.  You mentioned in the book all the programs the churches have.  This is true even in the “born again” churches.  We teach classes on “How to live in victory”,  or “How to overcome” etc…………………….. and they are important.  But we need to teach on “How to Evangelize”, “How to share your faith”.   It sorta turns out like the prayer meeting.  Very few show up.  What to do????  Share Tom Shanklin’s book  and fire them up!  Hallelujah! Blessings to you and Susan, (Minnesota)

Drawing Closer to God

I Purchased your healing CD from iTunes, it is really a blessing, I am grateful you promote God’s forgiveness, your message about forgiveness on this CD makes me want to draw closer to God, yet I have a greater desire for holiness. I have a health situation that is chronic, that I have had for over 20 some years. I am grateful that your message tells me we worship a God of a second chance, although I can’t, and don’t take God’s/Jesus’s forgiveness for granted, I want to be obedient in my walk with Jesus,I have come to believe salvation through Jesus Christ is the greatest opportunity of my, or anyone’s life. I read my bible every day, and am involved in a small prayer group, as well as church services every Sunday. I try and read through the bible at least once a year. (Pennsylvania)

Healed of Diabetes

In 1996 I was diagnose with diabetes. My grandmother had diabetes. I had all the symptoms, thirst, tiredness, my eyes were affected, and more. I had a lot of prayer, started claiming a healing, and I believed my healing was coming even though the symptoms were still there. I did than, and still do believe in the Laying on of hands. This past summer I was visiting Pastor Tom Shanklins church when he preached on Blessing and Curses, I ordered that tape, plus two more on the same subject, I also got the Healing tape with Scriptures of healing on it. As soon as the Blessing and Curses series came out I got that. I listened to these tapes at home and in my car, I studied them, and took down notes. Putting to practice what I was hearing. I believe God showed me thru these tapes what I needed to know, understand, and do. I found all of these tapes to be excellent. My symptoms were leaving me and they are now gone. I had my Diabetic Check up done a couple months ago , The Doctor checked over my tests and told me he did not think that I had diabetes. He wanted to do more tests. I came back in a couple days for the results and he said, ” I see no sign of diabetes in you,” I give all the Glory, Honor and Praise to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (Blaine, Minnestota)

Thanks for the Healing Tape

I recently ordered (and received) your Healing Tape. I just wanted to let you know that you did a great job in making the tape. Your voice is very soft and soothing and the delivery is excellent. The scriptures, of course, are wonderful. My husband and I listened to the tape while driving and I do believe that God is healing us. I’ve sent the tape to a sick friend in Grand Marais, Minnesota and I believe God will minister to her needs also. You’re doing a great job. Thank you.Eileen Landgraf Chronic Headaches Healed
I am a 43 yr. old woman who has suffered from chronic headaches since a gymnastics injury from my high school days. Within the last 10-12 yrs. the headaches have been getting worse, to the point of this past year I would have moderate to severe headaches 5 out of 7 days a week. This condition caused me to see chiropractors often. It would affect my vision and capability to work. Recently at the request of my 21 yr. old daughter I once again returned to a medical doctor who said he thought I also may have polymyalgia. I was having severe pain in my shoulders and arms in addition to the headaches. I have been prayed for for these symptoms many times in the past ten years. About three months ago I started listening to a healing tape that Pastor Tom Shanklin made, that has scriptures on it, of Jesus healing. I have a fifteen to twenty minute drive to and from work daily. I listened to this tape to and from work over and over again. I would like to give Jesus Christ all the glory, praise and honor that as that word penetrated into my spirit, I have not had severe pain or headaches for eight weeks now. I am free indeed! Jesus gave me absolute victory over my problem.

Healed of Severe Back Pain

I am a retired nursing home worker who attends a Greek Orthodox church in Mpls. I had gone to the doctor for severe back pain and he said it could be a slipped disc, arthritis or sciatica. He put me on pills and for six days I took them but no easement of the pain so I quit taking them. My friends invited me to the Healing service at church and I almost backed down. But I went. When Pastor Shanklin called people who needed healing to come down. I asked my friend if I could go..because I don’t go to church I didn’t think I could, but she said yes so I did. Pastor Tom and Susan prayed for me and I KNEW I was being healed. There was such heat that went through me I began to cry. I felt so good. My back was healed! I am so glad I went. I believe in the healing laying on of hands and recommend it to anyone who will believe. It is better than pills!! Before I had to take the elevator now I take the stairs.I listen to Pastor Shanklins Healing Tape every morning while I have coffee and every night before I go to bed. I am so thankful! I feel better every day.

Headaches Healed by God’s Word

I was suffering from headaches with almost no let up. The usual meds didn’t touch them either. My doctor had wanted me to have some tests such as an MIR. That wasn’t to be an option because I don’t function well in tight places. I didn’t want to take any strong meds so I had told her I would think about what I wanted to do. In the meantime the headaches simply were not going away. I would wake up at night suffering from them. Sandy mentioned something about her church having a tape that her pastor had made with Bible verses on healing. I got one and listened to it for several days in a row. I started to quote the Bible verses and come against the headaches with the Word and the headaches started going away. For a while the headache would return but it did not stay when I used the Bible verses against it. Now I hardly think about it any more. I am healed of headaches but I still listen to the healing scriptures just to reinforce the Word in my life. something I learned from this experience however was this. Those constant headaches really wore me out and people who have really serious physical problems need to be prayed for to withstand the actual mental stress as well as the physical stress of dealing with a disease. I have prayed with people coming against the disease that they are dealing with but I never thought about the mental stress of dealing with a serious disease. Do you understand what I am trying to say.? God healed me of headaches but He taught me a valuable lesson as well. Praying for people who are ill is a two fold prayer. You probably already know this but I needed to verbalize it. You asked about Rich Pratts problem. We gave him a tape too. He has had two really bad heart attacks and is in pain (from the attacks or something else I am not sure) but I will give him your e-mail address and ask him to share with you about it. Thank you for making the tape and Thank God for His Love towards us. Have a wonderful day.
 (St. Peter, Minnesota)

Peace Received through Healing Tape

My two sons were involved in a motorcycle accident on march 3. I was given your Healing Tape, and it was very encouraging. I made many trips to North Memorial Hospital and it was a welcome treat to hear your uplifting words. I’m not sure if you or others in your church family knew of the accident and were praying along with Ann, but we were certainly feeling God’s Amazing Grace as we made it through each day with a sense of peace.that can only happen through prayer, and I thank you very much.
