What it is and What it is not!
The Gold Coin Ministry
What it IS and what it is NOT
We love questions at Glorious Church Ministries. If you are ever wondering how something works, or if you are doubting something we share is “for real”, “authentic”, please do not hesitate to ask us. Following Jesus is a daily walk which involves testing, challenges, and serious faith building.
If you have doubts, you are not alone, for His ways are not our ways. This means that a deeper understanding comes both through the written Word, and through fresh revelation, out of our intimacy with Him, over time. We are not all in the same place, so that’s why we ask questions of each other, rather than judge others “right or wrong”, here in this place. Some things we share with each other, may raise the eyebrows of those who have not experienced these things. We expect that, and have even been called “crazy” at times. It’s all good. We take it in good cheer, because these things are “out of this world”. They are supernatural, and the supernatural is often ridiculed by some, just as Jesus was ridiculed, and not believed by all, when He was here on earth the first time.
About our Gold Coin Ministry: When God highlights a person who needs a word, God places them right before us and it is for their edification. God leads, we follow. In most every case, these children of God are in deep worry and complete fear. Out of obedience, we simply share the Word God gives us for them. Often it is a simple gift of love from the Lord, that they are never alone. The coin given them is merely a reminder of that great love, that they never forget that God KNOWS their need, and that He is Jehovah Jireh, our God who provides. Jesus is REAL, and is PRESENT to help them through their situation. It is a tender touch from God, flowing through us, speaking LIFE and the TRUTH of our God over them, and such great blessing to be used by God in this way.
What this is certainly not, is our suggesting these are “magic coins”, promoting a false hope, that their situation will change immediately, like waving a magic wand, and not aligned with our King Jesus. Please do not misunderstand this. These encounters with complete strangers, as God leads, are a touch from God for them, those who desperately need it in that moment, in order to build their faith, and encourage them to trust that God is with them and is faithful to pull them through the pain they find themselves in, right now. Remember that WE never know when someone is “open” to receiving a touch from God. This is the stretching of our faith, to simply follow the One who does! God knows the condition of their heart to receive in His perfect timing. All we do is plant the seed and move on.
Here at Glorious Church Ministries, we are all about building faith. We work with Jesus to point others to HIM, encouraging a deeper intimacy. We share testimonies with each other of the love of Jesus flowing through us to others who need His love. It’s an exciting time as we partner with the Living God.
Please know that your questions are always welcomed, and that you are loved deeply by our God and by the leadership here. If you feel led to share how the Lord leads you to encourage someone when you are out and about, in the days ahead, please do not hesitate. We would love to hear your stories of your unique partnership with God. May you be blessed with great JOY, as you are led to bless others. ✨💝✨

God Revealed the Vision to Bless and Plant Seeds
Encouragement: Building Our FAITH in the area of God's Provision
Introducing Our Gold Coin Ministry
Do you find that you have fear about not having "enough"? I believe this is a common source of fear for many. Taking responsibility for what we need, what our family needs in each day, to keep going in this world, is a common source of worry. God does not want us to fear or worry. He wants us to have FAITH in His ability to provide all we need.
Jesus reminds us in the book of Matthew: Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
When I was young, my earthly Father placed a silver dollar in my hand. He asked me to always carry this dollar with me, wherever I go and never spend it. His words were: "Carry this coin with you always, and you will NEVER be broke." I have carried my Dad's silver dollar with me from wallet to wallet now for all these years. Ten years ago now, In 2008, my Dad went on to be with Jesus in Heaven. Three years ago, I heard the Lord remind me that I had gold coins hidden away in my drawer. I had been gifted 15, $1 gold coins, several years ago, a Christmas gift from members of a Church I was serving. He instructed me to now carry these coins with me and do the same for others, that my Dad had done for me. From that moment, I understood that God would highlight those who need a touch from God, and an encouraging word from me, regarding God's faithfulness to provide for us. So many people are in fear that they will not have enough to get by each day.
Over these three years, I have no idea how many gold coins I have given out, as I keep just getting more when I run out of them, however, what I DO remember is the eyes of MANY as God touches them through a word and a simple coin. The coin itself is only a dollar, not worth much in the natural, however, in the spirit, it is worth SO MUCH MORE. These are FAITH BUILDING coins. God multiplies, provides, brings new joy, new hope and NEW FAITH. God increases faith and removes all fear, as we learn to fully trust that God provides.
If you would like to join us in this fun, bring a smile on the face of someone who is homeless, needy, alone, overwhelmed by fear of having enough, it is easy. Pick up some coins at the bank that are distinctive, depending on your nation's currency. God leads us to those who will receive this simple word and a coin, with complete JOY. It is a sign of God's love. As we agree to partner with Him in this, it opens a whole new level of JOY and intimacy. He places people right in front of us when we are out and about, and even leads them right to our door, without any special effort on our part, just as described in this first testimony below.
Jump on board and join us in this beautiful partnership with God. You will be SO blessed by it. Come back and leave us a message with any stories and we will share your testimonies right here. We can help our God change the world, one day at a time, one act of kindness at a time.
Testimony One:
The Young Man at My Front Door
Have you seen God’s direct intervention before your very eyes? Experiencing God’s divine appointments and encounters brings such DEEP JOY in my life and always leaves me in complete AWE.
As I was soaking in God's presence, my house totally peaceful, my dogs with me, snuggled on my bed, the doorbell rings, sending the dogs barking like the fiercest guard dogs as they looked upon someone on our front porch. It was a young African American man, likely in very early 20’s, if that. I opened the door and spoke with him for a few minutes as he began to tell me that he was selling books. He all of a sudden said “Do you have any advice for me today? What is your best advice?” I had the immediate thought of how very unusual this was, and I knew right away that this was Papa leading this young man. Papa put a picture in my head so I said “Could you please wait here for a minute? I will be right back.”
The young man agreed as I closed the door and ran quickly up the stairs to grab one of my gold coins. I came down and shared my story with this young man about how my earthly Father placed a silver dollar in my hand when I was about his age, and said to always carry it with me throughout life and I would “never be broke”. And then I went on to tell Him that my Heavenly Father came to me about two years ago, and showed me I had gold coins stuck away in my drawer for a special purpose. I was to encourage others about provision, passing along what my Dad had done for me. I placed the gold coin in his hand and told Him that our God wants him to know that He knows his need, and that He will always provide for him. I asked him to always carry this coin with him as a reminder of our God’s provision for his life. The boy began to weep, as he told me he had been praying today. He shared a bit regarding his family’s struggles. God was touching him in that moment and it was beautiful to witness. I spoke a word over him, and blessed him, letting him know that the gold coin I had just placed in his hand was worth so much more to him than any books I could possibly buy from him, and that even though selling books is what he is doing right now, it is not forever. God is paving the way for something more.
He left my house with more confidence in his step, as he said he would always keep this coin with him. This was God’s divine intervention for this young man. This precious young man said that he just knew that God was drawing him to my door. It was beautiful that he recognized in those moments, that God had answered his prayer. Hallelujah!
This is but one encounter of many I have witnessed out in the world as God is making connections for us. However, today, I did nothing but answer MY DOOR and He set His JOY before me, in this young man, whom I was able to speak the truth of God to, simply pouring out the LOVE of Jesus over him. God met him in that moment and I was overjoyed to be obedient to share what the Lord gave me for him and to see the Lord touch his life.
God’s intervention in the lives of His people is beautiful to behold. The way He orders our steps and sets up divine appointments cannot be explained in any other way but by His divine POWER to transform lives. Thanks be to God, for giving us His grace in each day as we keep moving forward, as He places people directly in our path, showing us what they need in that moment. Our amazing God is at work. All we need do is follow. His yoke is easy, His burden light! (Matthew 11:30)
Gold Coin Testimonies
Gold Coins Appearing: A Delightful Surprise to remind us that God provides!
God Winks from our Precious Lord!
Have you experienced something that “triggers” a memory you were meant to share? Have you received something from the Lord and struggle to recall what it was? You know in your spirit it was important, but somehow it is gone. If so, relax into the ONE who IS your memory, your heartbeat, the ONE who lives inside you. He can do ANYTHING. He wants you to remember at JUST the RIGHT moment, in His PERFECT Timing!
I am so excited to share this delightful story with you. The Lord has demonstrated His power over and over, where it is now impossible for me to believe anything other than the truth, that He can do ANYTHING. He ignites a passion deep within to want all to know more.
II was sitting with my dear friend, who is Jewish, in my home for her “piano lesson”, (I name it this loosely, as the majority of our time together is spent sharing GOD with each other!) She was in the midst of playing a piece for me, and I was sitting right next to her, hearing a buzz as she was playing. I began to look for something that may have dropped inside and was sitting on the strings, as I know this sound well. Lo, and behold! I found it! The gold coin that always sits on the music rack of the piano had somehow found its way deep into the grand piano and was sitting in plain view on top of the strings, with the piano TOP CLOSED.
She stopped playing as we were both immediately in AWE. There is no way, other than someone deliberately placing it there, could it have gotten there! (We immediately checked with Ben, the only other person living here, who, of course, confirmed that he knew nothing about this coin and had not touched it.)
So guess what happened next? My friend Priscilla said, “OH MY! I forgot the gold coin story I was supposed to tell you, when I returned home from my Italy trip!” She had forgotten to share something with me and the Lord triggered her memory by doing what only GOD can do! He brought our attention to the GOLD COIN.
Her story was incredible: Before she left for Italy, I had given her a gold coin and spoke a word over her. As she packed for her trip, she removed this gold coin from her larger purse that she was not taking, and placed it in her smaller coin purse for her trip. The coin I gave her traveled with her each day while she was gone. When she returned home, she took her gold coin out of her travel wallet and went to place it back into her larger purse that she was now about to use again, and guess what she found? Yet ANOTHER gold coin! They had multiplied! She now has two, both the one I placed in her hand, and the one that God placed in her purse. The Lord showed me that He was speaking that she is to pass the one He gave her on to another, one whom He will place before her. He also showed her that HE CAN and DOES multiply. (I have a testimony about God multiplying pea salad in front of me!)
God has placed two people in front of me in the past week, to bless with a gold coin and a word, reminding them that our God loves them, and knows their need. He also had me collide yesterday with a non-believer. I was able to let them know that though they may not know our God, He LOVES them. The Lord showed me that this was planting a seed.
Is there someone you can bless with a simple word today? He will show you. It is HUGE work for the KINGDOM and so vital right now. RISE, GLORIOUS CHURCH!
God can DO ANYTHING, and remind us in supernatural ways, of the thing we need to remember, to bring Him GLORY as we testify of His goodness and faithfulness to provide.
Hallelujah to the King of Kings! Jesus, You’re the BEST and we love You!

Gold Coin Update! ✨👑✨ The JOY set before us!
Some of you may have read this post earlier in the month (2nd link below), a testimony connected to our gold coin ministry. This post speaks of God supernaturally multiplying gold coins.
My friend was here today, for our weekly meeting, and shared that the two coins mentioned in this post in early December, have now become THREE! She knows with all certainly that God has a plan for these, so we are both eager to see how this plays out, who will be blessed by a Word and a coin in the days ahead.
I was able to share with my friend that just last week, the Lord had me post about the ways He "multiplies", with the following post:

Our God loves to confirm. It is such a blessing to serve the living God. Hallelujah! He turns our mourning into dancing by setting His JOY before us.
Thank You Jesus! You're the BEST!
