Dear Pastor Rick and Dot:
I started attending your Thursday night service several months ago. I have learned so much especially during prayer time. The anointing just keeps getting stronger and stronger. Soon my prayer even before entering the sanctuary will be, "God please let me make it to my seat". In May we prayed for my 18 year old daughter, Jessica and you anointed her prom dress!!
At 2 other occasions you prayed for her and mentioned that satan was throwing fiery darts at her and that indeed she was with the wrong crowd. She was doing drugs. Well, it's been 2 weeks that she has NOT used any drugs.&n line. Alleluia, Praise God!! I am so thankful. There is also more peace coming in our home!!! Yes, God's Word is true and I do serve a God who is mighty. Both you and Dot give us so much!! Thank you.
Thank you also for taking the time during prayer time to explain what is going on...I am holding on to every word and God is showing me more and more. I do appreciate you both very much.
God Bless You!!

Brother Ricky,
I have a testimonial about something that happened to me at at younger age
that I to this day still have the question before God, Why? Why? did he
return me. When I was 20 years old I was married. One night my wife at the time
was very angry with me when I returned home. With anger in her heart and
alcohol in body she stabbed me in my throat and and chest with a
switchblade. My throat to the hilt of the switchblade.
As I laying dying in a friends arms I suddenly felt a beautiful cozy
warmth. As I told my friend I was tired and I was going to sleep she begged
me not to as I slipped away.
I was in a dark void, no sides, no top, no bottom. I could not see my
physical being, now I know it was my soul which was there.
A BEAUTIFUL, CHARISMATIC BRIGHT LIGHT! off in the distance started coming
towards me. Getting bigger and brighter. I spoke out and said, "God
please! don't take me I haven't seen enough yet! The light receded, I awoke in my friends arms, the parametics entered
the house.
I allways thought my request to the Lord was so selfish, why? did he return
me back to my earthly state?
I recently have given my life over completely to God. I am going through
some difficult times right now. However, when I fellowship with others,
when I pray to God, I am just so full of JOY!
Thanks to your ministry! Praise God for working through you! Praise God
for your Annointing!

I just wanted to send a general email thanking you guys for being so obedient & faithful to God & allowing God to work such a wonderful ministry through you. I have been completely amazed to see the power of God manifested in ways i have not been acustomed to at my home church (or anywhere else for that matter). It has been such a blessing to see my step-mom healed of 6 years of pain & suffering due to the 4 ruptured discs in her neck (now completely healed!) And not only that, now she is now on fire for God, driving 1 1/2 hrs EVERY week to come to your church each Thursday (never attended church in the past), & in about 5 weeks has already received the gift of tongues! Praise God! That healing miracle has also sparked friends of mine from Celebration Church to come to your ministry. Many came with some skepticism, but after attending & truly being touched by the Holy Spirit in some way, they are all convinced that your ministry is truly of God. While i love my home church & do not feel God calling me to leave, i am SO blessed to have your ministry available on Thursdays & look forward to becoming more involved in the future (if its God's will for me to do so). I want to be able to give back to a ministry that has been SOOOO helpful to other & myself.
God is good!

Dear Miss Dot and Pastor Ricky,
I have a very close near and dear friend who is in the middle of divorce procedings from her husband there is a child involved and she has an older son who is from another marriage who is so disappointed in his mother.
Please pray for the restoration of this marriage, pray for her husband to seek the truth of God's word, please pray for the man that has now entered her life to be removed from her heart and mind. And whatever else that God directs you to pray.
I'm praying as well and have been for awhile now.
Thank you so much for your time and your awesome ministry.
God Bless!

PS I am the one awhile back ask you to pray for a friend of mine to receive a car. Last Thursday you mentioned being in need of a car and to claim it, I claimed it for my friend. On Friday I came home from work to hear that my friend had called and she is receiving a car!!! For Free!!! Praise God!!!!
Dear Dot,
On Thursday night, you asked if I would write something about what the ministry has meant to me.....Gladly! Since you indicated that you only have a small space for this in the newsletter, I will be brief....(and I can be a very wordy writer!) I could tell you a story about how I came to be a searcher for the truth, but let me just say, thats all that I will accept from a ministry. I am not any kind of scholar, but I do love the WORD, and have studied on my own quite a bit. I am very attuned to ignorance, lies, false teachings etc.... and, I do not want my "ears tickled". I need truth. At True Light Ministries, I hear the truth of God taught. Not only does Dr. Ricky teach the truth, but he is so gentle with the people. It is so obvious that he loves us all, every single one who walks in that door. It is God's love that dwells in him, and which was in him even as a retarded student before his healing. The teachers used him as a babysitter in class, and in high school after being healed, he was helping the other students. He is gentle when he teaches and when he prays for people. No one could ever be offended or feel threatened, and I think it is for that very reason, people who have big problems, like witches, or homosexuals are willing to come to him for prayer and deliverance.
I have certainly been blessed by the teachings, the love of the staff, and by personal "Words" from God during prayer time. I get the annointed prayer hankerchiefs, carry one on my person and sleep with one under my pillow. I have given several to people in need; this is very exciting to realize God can use me for something! I just get more hankies and wait for the next assignment! I love to buy the CD's of past teachings and listen to them over and over again. We do not get to come to the service as much as I would like, since we live in the Ocala area. It takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to get to the church in Jacksonville, so for the Thursday evening service, we have to leave Ocala by 4:30, then we get home after 1:00. If I had my choice, I would not walk out of the service until the last person had been prayed for; who knows what time I would finally get home! But there is a lot to learn as Ricky prays for other people, he is teaching even during that time, and sometimes will stop and give a word for the "church". The prayers and words from God have given me hope and encouragement. One time I was delivered from something that caused me a lot of pain in my upper back. A few days after prayer, I realized it was entirely gone! Praise God for his abundant love and mercy!
I am tired of churches that have no "meat". I do not have the patience to go to a service just to say I went to church, then go home feeling flat or empty or dissappointed. I'd better get something out of it, or I am waisting my time. There is "meat" at TLM, and God's almighty power and abundant love is demonstrated. Yes, I will make a 5 hour drive for this! This is not the Sunday morning "Social Club"!
I was going to write more, but its already too long......Miss Dot, you can edit this in any way you wish for the news letter (or anything else).

Spirit of Death Warning – Feb 2008
At a Thursday night prayer services Pastor Ricky said he saw the faces of TLM church members whose family members had the Spirit of Death over them. When I went for prayer I asked Ricky if he saw my face and he said, yes. I have five brothers, a son and a husband. I told my son and husband what Ricky saw and felt compelled to tell my brother Charlie. Charlie listened to what was said, he went to church with me two weeks later on Thursday night, went up for prayer because he has “feet problems”. The Holy Spirit kept Charlie up for prayers for a very long time, others sat down after prayer but Charlie just stood there, for maybe an hour! Two weeks later Charlie called and said, “I beleive it was me who had the Spirit of Death”. Charlie was in an accident yesterday in a store while shopping for floor tile. He has a concussion and cut his knee so deep they could hardly stop the bleeding. Praise the Lord he did not die.
Now Charlie is asking me to send the article about the young man in Iraq who was miraculously healed after prayer from TLM this past month. The Lord gives wake-up calls, he may call several times, and he may call once. Answer when he calls, recognize it is HIM calling!
