The Power of Sharing feat. Cherith Dollar 3.25.26

Tonight, was a powerful night of encouragement as we were incredibly blessed to hear from Pastor Cherith Dollar as she shared her heart, her journey, and a powerful reminder: **God is still speaking—if we are willing to listen.** 🕊 **A Word for the Year** Pastor Cherith shared her practice of seeking God for a word each year: • 2019 — *Change* • 2021 — *Joy* (a year marked by movement, family milestones, and celebration) • 2025 — after prayer and counsel… her word became **Rest** And with that word came a scripture: 📖 *“Be still…”* This wasn’t just a phrase—it became an anchor. **When Life Gets Heavy** She shared how **January 2026** was one of the hardest seasons her family has faced. But instead of striving, she and Pastor Brian leaned into the word God gave them: **Rest. Be still.** And in that surrender—they found peace. 🔁 **Confirmation After Confirmation** God didn’t just whisper once—He confirmed it again and again: 📖 Psalms 37 — *“Be still…”* A friend in crisis — received the SAME word Another friend’s devotional — SAME passage Divine alignment without even knowing ➡️ God is intentional. ➡️ God confirms His Word. 🙏 **A Powerful Healing Testimony** Pastor Cherith shared about her sister-in-law: After severe nerve damage and little medical hope… She believed God for healing. She came forward for prayer—not seeing immediate results— but **held onto faith anyway.** And on January 1st… Complete healing was confirmed by doctors. ➡️ Mobility restored ➡️ Medical record documented ➡️ Even the doctor believed **God is still healing.** • Pastor Dave Richard healed from cancer • A woman delivered from insulin dependence after years • Jordan (Pastor Cherith’s son) receiving a positive health report 📖 *“They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony…”* — Revelation 12:11 **A Real & Honest Moment** Pastor Cherith vulnerably shared that even in a season of “Rest,” she felt like quitting. But in surrender, she prayed: **“Lord, take control.”** And something shifted— not just in circumstances, but in her **heart and mindset.** ➡️ Rest is not quitting ➡️ Rest is trusting ➡️ Rest is surrendering control **A Kingdom Perspective** We also celebrated Simeon stepping into purpose—completing his certification and preparing to go to help rescue victims of trafficking. ➡️ Even in a dark world, God is raising up light. 🎶 **Final Encouragement** *“Be still, my soul…”* — a reminder that God is working even when we cannot see it. **Take This With You:** Ask God for a word for your life. Let it ground you. Let it guide you. Let it anchor you when life feels uncertain. Share your Testimony and remember what God has done as it will encourage and inspire others to do the same! Because even in turmoil— **He is moving. He is speaking. He is healing.** #BeStill #TestimonyNight #GodIsMoving #FaithJourney #Healing #RestInGod #Revelation1211
