Series: Minnesota Koronis CFO 1949

Messages spoken at the Minnesota Koronis CFO 1949.

Agnes Sanford leads the Minnesota Koronis CFO of 1949 through a hard self-examination against the Ten Commandments. She names putting a job or social standing before God, and she tells of a man who, convicted years later, mailed a coal company the three dollars he had once cheated it of.

Christ’s forgiveness is no eraser scrubbing sin from a heavenly ledger, Agnes Sanford tells campers at the 1949 Minnesota Koronis CFO. It is his own life replacing what is wrong in us. She recalls how she healed an old terror from her childhood by praying for two men she had once seen led to execution.

Agnes Sanford turns from prayer for the sick to prayer for the world. In 1949, at the Minnesota Koronis CFO, she argues that a nation’s unconfessed sin blocks such prayer unless it is met with sacrificial love. She also tells of a baby born lifeless who breathed the instant a minister’s daughter baptized her.

Agnes Sanford shares a friend’s Easter poem that begins “April wears a crown in her bright young hair,” an image she offered the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1949. She then turns to small acts of healing prayer, from easing a headache with a touch to shielding a child from illness before it takes hold.

Agnes Sanford tells of a young army hospital patient who had once trained for the ministry until his faith went dark. After she prayed for the life of God to enter him, he became radiant and eager to know Jesus Christ again. She told the story at the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1949.

Agnes Sanford answers questions on healing and protection at the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1949. She retells how a guest fled a room on a sudden hunch, only to learn the next day that a nest of vipers lay under the bed. She then explains the power she feels in the bread and the wine.

A mentor once told Agnes Sanford that buried resentment behaves like a squirrel that tunnels underground and comes up somewhere else as fear. She brings that lesson to the 1949 Minnesota Koronis CFO, along with her prayers with a badly wounded soldier in an army ward.

Agnes Sanford tells of a young wife whose recovery stalled until resentment toward her husband gave way to forgiveness. In the same talk, given to the Minnesota Koronis CFO of 1949, she tells of a three-year-old who explained a bump that healed the instant hands touched it by saying simply that Jesus fixed it.

A seamstress choosing her pattern is Agnes Sanford’s picture of imagination as the first step of creation. At the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1949 she tells of a doctor who kept his hands on a dying child, resolved to finish “come hell or high water,” until the girl recovered whole.

Glenn Clark brings a brand new talk to the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1949, working through the only seven people the Gospels record Jesus praising. Across every difference of race, sex and station he finds one thing common to all of them: each gave everything they had in some single area of life. Among them are the Syrophoenician woman asking for crumbs, the Roman centurion, the one grateful leper and the widow with her last coins.
