Experience the Unthinkable

Written by Angela Miller on . Posted in Serenity Blog, Transformation Prayer. No Comments on Experience the Unthinkable

By Eric Miller

My health had declined in ways that doctors couldn’t explain, then I lost my job, and most painfully, God felt silent.

I was still praying and living for Him, but my daily struggle had somehow drowned out His voice. I was worn out physically and spiritually, and sadly, I had started to believe that maybe God would no longer speak to me.

Then we discovered Transformational Prayer Ministry (TPM) through a Google search. After an orientation, I thought it would be just like any other prayer method I’d tried in the past, but boy, was I wrong. During my very first session, I experienced the unthinkable.

God spoke to me again… for the first time in several years.

Not through someone else and not in vague impressions, but in a crystal clear way that addressed the exact lie I’d been believing: that I was all alone. It was intensely personal, and extremely transforming. It gave me hope. Hearing God speak made my heart feel soft again (It’s amazing how hard my heart had become).

Amazingly, albeit slowly, my circumstances began to shift. Over time, my health began to improve, and eventually, new doors opened for me professionally. One day, I realized that I felt completely stable and perfectly normal. And shortly after that, I realized that the trials I had walked through had served the purpose of teaching me to always trust my Savior in the midst of suffering and pain.

TPM didn’t fix everything, but it definitely made my heart soften enough to hear God speak again, and as a result (it’s been several years since that first session), I am still able to hear my Savior speaking to me daily, and I am walking in continued health, freedom, and hope. All glory to God!

If you find yourself disconnected from God, or in a season of overwhelming trials, I want to encourage you that God is always speaking to you, and that you can always hear Him speaking if your heart is soft enough to listen. And I bet that He’ll use your pain and suffering to break through to you. And TPM.

…cause that’s what He did for me.

Mt. Werner in Steamboat Springs

When God Had Other Plans for My Mountain Getaway

By Barbara Rolen

Have you ever planned a peaceful getaway only to discover God had something deeper in mind—your transformation. 

This summer, I ventured to the Colorado mountains for my first solo vacation since my husband’s death five years ago. As someone who practices Transformation Prayer Ministry (TPM) as a lifestyle, I went expectant. When difficult emotions surface, I’ve learned they’re invitations to encounter God’s truth about whatever I’m believing. 

At Steamboat Springs, I was thrilled to ride the gondola up Mt. Werner until those doors closed. 

Within seconds, my excitement turned to tears. Alone, suspended by a cable high above the earth, my emotions were exposing a lie I was believing. 

Deuteronomy 31:6 promises God will never leave or forsake us, yet here I sat feeling utterly abandoned. Rather than suppress these feelings or push through them, I leaned in. Using TPM right there in that swaying gondola, I uncovered the belief driving my distress: I am totally and completely alone. 

God’s gentle correction came swiftly. Yes, I was the only human in that gondola, but I was never truly alone. As His truth penetrated my heart, tears of fear became tears of joy. 

This is TPM as a lifestyle; cooperating with God whether on mountaintops or in mundane moments. 

What would it mean for you to have this kind of intimate, experiential walk with God available in any situation? 

That journey starts with experiencing TPM for yourself. Book a prayer session today. Our upcoming free TPM 101 introductory class is also a perfect entry point—and the prerequisite for TPM 201, where you’ll learn to begin using this life-changing prayer process on your own. 

Whatever you’re walking through right now, this structured prayer process is available to you. Your transformation might be just a prayer away.
