“HOLD ON AND DON’T GIVE UP” Forerunner for Christ, Testimonials, Back 2 basic Prayer, Rita Cole Author Religion and Spirituality. Before receiving the gift of “The Forerunner for God’s Word”, the Holy Spirit had shown me signs and wonders most of my life. When I would pray for a person, the middle of my hands burned. This had been happening for a long time before I understood what it meant. Then God showed me the power that comes from my prayers; the power to change things in a person’s life in the spirit realm; the power that comes from effective prayers. The Bible speaks that the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much [James 5:16]. When God wanted me to speak to a person or give a testimony and I didn’t move, He would come behind me and nudge me. And if I didn’t move after that, He then would take my breath away. I had to act on the things He wanted me to move on. The testimonies are included in each book title either in the beginning or ending chapters.
