“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death” (Rom 8:1, 2)

This is one of the greatest promises in the Bible. It is not enough to quote it. You must live in it and experience its power. It will totally change the way you think and behave. It says clearly that for the born again Christians there is no ‘condemnation’. It means 0% condemnation! The devil attacks and brings condemnation on many believers. You must identify and reject this painful lie!

To understand better what is there to reject, let’s see what condemnation means. To condemn it means to declare you wrong and evil after examining the evidence. It means to pronounce you guilty and sinful. This pronouncement is served by a higher authority than you. If you listen to the lies of the devil as your judge it means that you have set him as your authority. But Jesus Christ is the highest authority in heaven and on earth. This is how the devil tempts you: the devil says that he is your judge and you, child of God, have to wait for his examination and judgment. That is a lie! He can never be a fair and merciful judge to you! He hates you because he hates God who is your Father. No matter what you do, he will say you are wrong, evil and guilty. There is no need to beg the devil for he has no mercy. Everything this fake judge says is a lie, including your sentence and your condemnation. The devil says be guilty! The Holy Spirit says you are free! Lies are chains of bondage. Truth sets you free! I chose to believe the Holy Spirit! I reject the contrary voice which is a lie.

But there is still a problem. It is hard for you to believe the truth. The problem is that you are standing in the wrong court! My friend, your feet are standing in the wrong court! God has already judged your sins on the body of Jesus Christ, your Savior and your Lord. That is why Jesus died, so that you can be free. Because Jesus lives, you shall live also. Because Jesus has made you free, you shall be free indeed. Free from the punishment, shame and guilt of sin. Your case has been decided two thousand years ago, on the Cross of Calvary. You are saved and freed by the Blood of the Lamb.

What are you doing in the devil’s fake court? Why are you there listening to the lies of the devil? Right now, I command you to run away! Leave the world of sin, darkness, manipulations and lies! Run to the Cross of Christ, run to the light! Do not be foolish but understand the will of God. No more guilt! Even if you do mistakes that you cannot repair, even then, repent and move forward. Do you hear me? No more guilt! That is the end of the matter!

This is my testimony: for more than 10 years I have not indulged in feelings of guilt. Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever (Heb 13:8). I too I am like my Lord. My past, my present and my future are all a testimony of the power of the Blood of Jesus, by which I am set free! I am happy today. I cannot be feeling guilty and sad because of my past. I cannot be anxious and sad about my future. I shout from the roof tops: Jesus died for me! I am saved! It is well with my soul! Jesus is Lord over my life! I reject guilt, grudge, doubt, fear and bitterness. My life shines with the glory of God! Let the devil run away disgraced and defeated for he cannot deceive me with his lies anymore! Stand straight, child of God. Rejoice, for this is the time to rejoice! Glory to God!

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen” (Mt 28:18-20)

In the Bible, crossing a body of water is a symbol of death and resurrection. This is what we do as believers in Christ when we baptize in water. By faith, we die to the past of sin and we declare to be alive in the newness of life. The people of God crossed two waters: The Red Sea and the River Jordan. These crossings were both miraculous. They both signify the same thin, death and the power of resurrection. But there is a difference. When they crossed the Red Sea, it signified separation from the world. Egypt is a symbol of the world. After 40 years in the wilderness, because of rebellion, that generation died. Their children were now ready to enter the Promised Land. They are now on the east bank of Jordan. This was the same place where Lot separated from his uncle, Abraham, because he saw the fertile valley of Jordan. That is how he settled in that rich but sinful city, Sodom. Spiritually speaking, crossing the River Jordan means to separate from worldly family members and religious friends. This is a very difficult thing for many believers to do.

“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart” (Col 4;2)

Our generator was giving us problems. It will just stop from time to time. We called the mechanic and he did all he knew trying to fix it. But the problem persisted for about two weeks. This is a new generator and it is not supposed to have a problem like this. Yesterday the Holy Spirit said to me: “The generator has a small fault but they did not see it”. I called Bro. Goddey and prayed with him. That the eyes of the mechanic will open to see the little fault. This morning everybody was praising God for the answer to the prayer has come. A little piece of the fuel filter, as small as a coin, was ‘dirty’. They washed it and placed it back. That was all! The generator has been working non stop since morning without any complain. Praise the LORD!

“But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint” (Is 40:31)

PRAYER REQUEST
A man of God I know has been given a diagnosis of cancer. Humanly speaking, this is an incurable disease. I am not speaking lightly. I am a medical doctor by profession, but now in full time ministry. I can testify that he is a true servant of God. I prayed for him that he should be healed. God gave me a word. This is my letter to him. It may help any true believer who passes thru a major crisis in life. Please remember: “With God nothing is impossible!”
Please pray for him.
“Dear Brother in Christ,
This is the Word of God: “Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it” (Jn 11:4)

Like Daniel, you have prayed that God should grant revival to your country. You have prayed that God should silence the false prophets and the religious idolaters. God has heard your prayers. Just like with Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel Chapter 2, the sentence of death is given against all religious leaders in your country, good or bad. All are the same now. God has decreed that the wicked shall perish. It is a divine decree. Unfortunately, the good men like Daniel and his friends are included in the ‘unfair’ death sentence. They need the mercy of God to survive the judgment. They pray to the same ‘angry’ God for their lives to be spared. This is because they are not wicked magicians or fake prophets who deceive rulers and people. They ask for mercy because they are indeed God’s people trapped into a storm of judgment. This sickness is not your own. God shall prove to you that He makes a difference between His people and others. The mercy of God comes to Daniel in the form of divine supernatural wisdom. God reveals to him the way of escape from darkness, sin, sorrow and death. Daniel alone understands the secret of the dream, the prescription to heal the headache and the insomnia of Nebuchadnezzar who gave the decree of death. By revealing the king’s dream to the king, Daniel saves himself, his friends and even his enemies. You too need divine wisdom more than injections.

This is my testimony: When I am sick, I know that it is not my doctor that will save me. When I am taken to court, it is not my lawyer that will defend and save me. When my enemies attack me, it is not my bodyguard that will save me. It is the mercy of God revealed and the wisdom of God imparted to me. This is my sure testimony as a servant of God. My sickness could not kill me. I forbid, hate and reject untimely death! Each trouble ends with a blessing. With each attack, I become stronger, wiser and more merciful. My anointing as a preacher of the Gospel increases. That is why I boast of my times of troubles. Be healed in Jesus name, amen!

Yes, wisdom is given to the wise, how to defeat the devil and how to survive in times of disaster. Sorry, not only survive, but prosper! But the foolish perish for lack of wisdom.

Dear Brother, God wants to heal you. Intercede directly to Him who loves you, who heals you. Fear not! Faith 100%! Doubt 0%! Do not wait for men. If they remember you or not if they pray for you or not that is ok. Your healing shall be called a miracle, the work of God. You shall testify of your healing. God has given you a second chance! Your testimony shall bring many backsliders back to the God of miracles. The Mercy of God shall be given once more the proper place of honor in the hearts of men. Revival shall come to the land! Glory to God in the highest!

Your sister in Christ,
Lia Leigh”

I just received this letter from one of my daughters in Christ. She is a committed Christian. She is about 40 years old. She has a very successful career. She is not yet married. We chat a lot. I pray that one day, sooner than later, she will be a beautiful bride walking down the aisle. Until then, she has grown to be a wonderful humble woman of God and a blessing to me. Read her letter and my reply to her.

“Dear Malia,

I’m learning from you to be thankful for everything no matter how small. Today I’m thankful for my job. I’m 15 years now in my company.  This means that if I choose to leave now, I will get all my benefits.

People have made mockery of me for staying on the same job for so long but I’m thankful. I’m thankful for the strength to carry on from day to day even when the worries of life set in. I’m thankful for the experience I have gathered and the expertise at the job. When I started I was highly impatient with people but now I can manage very difficult customers.  I’m grateful for the salary that was never delayed, for the people I met, for the people that touched my life and for the lives I may have touched thru my job. I thank God for the challenges I faced and overcame. My list is endless. I’m truly grateful! To God be the Glory now and forever more.

Your daughter…”

“Dear…

O…I really thank God for you! I thank God for being with you all these years, for wisdom and patience. I think that you (ignorantly) made a covenant with your company; to ‘marry’ their spirit. Now I believe it is time to let go. If you chose to remain working for them, that is good. If not, it is also good. Like you said, you shall have your benefits. Thank God! But from now on, you need to learn how to separate spiritually and emotionally from this good job. Remember what I said to you: The good is the enemy of the Best. Now it is time for you to marry a man, a real Christian man. The lessons you have learned in your office you shall apply them in your home as a wife and mother. More than ever, I wait for you to invite me to your wedding. Faith 100%! Doubt 0%! God bless you…”

“And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Eph 5:20)

You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. (Deuteronomy 8:17-18)

Do you work hard in your business? Did God bless the work of your hands? Be then thankful! Be also humble! Give God all the glory! There are many people who are poorer than you. There are many people who are very sick, and even dying. It may be true that you put in long hours to get where you are. Yet it is God who created you in the first place and gave you the strength and talent to make money. Tell people that it is not by your power or wisdom that you are successful. Tell people that it is God who gives you the ability to be wealthy. God keeps you healthy and happy! It is His grace manifested to you. “Let the weak say: I am strong! Let the poor say: ‘I am rich!’ In Jesus name, amen!

“Rise up, you women who are at ease,

Hear my voice;

You complacent daughters,

Give ear to my speech…

People shall mourn upon their breasts

For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine

Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,

And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,

And the fruitful field is counted as a forest” (Is 32, 9, 12, 15)

In the Bible there is a clear command not to love the things of the world because these represent the enemy of our faith.  “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world” (1Jn 2:15-16)

The world attracts thru the natural senses. The flesh wants the pleasure and the eyes desire to see the entertainment. Slowly, the heart becomes proud and hard. The Holy Spirit is grieved and vain religion settles in. The women become lukewarm towards the things of God. The mouth boasts of what money can buy, of the achievements the world covets after. This is a picture of backsliding. It is a sad and dangerous state, first for the women, for their families and even for the nation at large. The prophet shouts so that the women wake up from this slumber. They seem unmoved and undisturbed by the prophet’s warnings. He calls them to hear his voice which is the voice of God.  But they like the seducing voice of Egypt. They need to hear the prophetic voice, which is loud like a trumpet. They need to wake up and come back to God. The sad part is that these women represent the society. They are a product of their society. In the Bible, the women represent churches. Therefore, this message of repenting from backsliding applies to all the believers, male or female.

The only solution is coming back to God. The strange and dangerous situation with the women and the men ends up in poverty and want. This reveals the jealousy of the Lord. Love is jealous and will not allow the lover to go astray without a fight. God will chastise the backsliders. They will eventually come back home. They will come back to their senses. They will come back to God. It is written that the poverty will go on ‘until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high’. Then ‘the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest’. The only hope is the Holy Spirit. Isaiah is prophesying the coming day of the Pentecost.  In the plan and purpose of God, in His mercy, there is always an ‘until’. The backsliding cannot go on forever. Sin cannot grip the hearts of the people of God forever. Oh, the love of Jesus! There is always ‘until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high’. The Holy Spirit comes upon us. That is His destination. Christ died to pay with His Blood for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Our help is the Spirit that comes ‘from on high’. He does not come from Egypt of America. He is from Heaven. The Comforter and Helper is God the Holy Spirit coming down from heaven. What a promise! Revival shall come at last. There is hope. Our future is better than the present and the past. It is called ‘the hope of glory’ because the Holy Spirit has come.

“Holy Spirit, we need You! Please come!”

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1Thess 5:16-18)

Not too long ago I discovered that there is a type of bread called ‘The Amish Friendship bread’. It takes 10 days to have a loaf of that bread. They do not use yeast. This is the recipe (that I found on the Utube): Day one: mix flour, sugar and milk in a bowl and cover it. Day two: stir the dough! Day three: stir the dough! Day four: stir the dough! Day five: stir the dough! Day six: stir the dough! Day seven: stir the dough! Day eight: stir the dough! Day nine: stir the dough! Day ten: add more four, more sugar and milk, little baking soda, some cinnamon and vanilla. Then bake it. I have not tasted it but it is said to be very tasty.

What is the lesson? There are things in life when you need to learn to be patient. You continue to repeat the same thing again and again. For example, you need to rejoice not only when things are good, but always! You need to pray on and on until the answer comes. Therefore, do not stop praying. Do not be tired to bring the same thing before God again and again. You need to ‘stir the dough’ of prayer until there is an answer. There may be delay but do not allow that to misrepresent God for He never changes. God is always Faithful and True, All Powerful and Good. To others who use instant yeast to bake fast bread in one hour, the Amish people look foolish with their way of baking bread. But friendship with God and man takes time to perfect.

Lest I forget, give thanks to God in all circumstances. Say ‘thanks’ to people too. You are not a fool. This is what friends do. Now go back to your ‘prayer kitchen’ and stir that dough! Do it, for the sake of eternal friendship and sweet communion in heaven and on earth. Stir the dough! The sweet answer will surely come!

HAPPY WITH CHURCH TONIGHT

Our prayer meeting was wonderful. The anointing was so strong that we felt like eagles flying in the sky. There was a feeling of thanksgiving. We prayed for healing and revival. Then the message followed:

“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Mt 16:18, 19)

THE GATES OF HELL

The revelation of the gates of hell, does not mean active attack coming from the demons outside, from ‘the left or from the right. No! It means that the Kingdom of God is always advancing to new territories and the previous gates of sin and darkness that try to block the way cannot stop the advance of God’s kingdom! Once I meet opposition of my way to destiny I rejoice. It means I have made progress! The opposition is a gate of hell and it shall be destroyed. Try to imagine a Bulldozer Church driven by the Holy Spirit with you as assistant driver. The building of the Church always has opposition. The battle is continuous but always unsuccessful! There is no man saved without opposition. No church is built without opposition. But victory is sure! 100%!

THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

These keys are the authority to open heaven so that men may enter. The same keys are able to close the entrance to men so that they cannot go to heaven. These keys are given by Christ to Peter and to all born again believers. Please be careful! We do not have personal authority. Only Christ knows which doors should open and which doors should be closed. Only God knows who will go to heaven and who will go to hell.  The keys are the Word of God and the authority of Christ.

For example, in the name of Jesus and in His authority I stand as the Ambassador of Christ. I work in Christ’s Embassy on earth and I have the authority to give ‘visas’ to men to enter the Kingdom of God. According to the Word of God I can say to someone: If you repent, if you confess Christ as your Lord and Savior, you shall be loosed from sin and you shall go to heaven. But if not, you shall go to hell. Heaven is in agreement with the Word of God spoken by our lips.  This is an extraordinary authority given to the children of God. We repented for misusing the keys in the past  and prayed for wisdom and strength to use them well from now on!

Yes, church is good!

Our ten industrial Air conditioners to be used in the main sanctuary have just arrived at the site. This is one step closer to the opening of our new church. This project has been done by faith alone. Without any loan, without any begging or manipulations of men, God alone has built this wonderful place of worship. I am a witness that the building of our church is a miracle of God, who alone takes all the glory! Praise the Lord!!!!!

“Praise the LORD, all nations; Extol Him, all peoples! For His loving-kindness is great toward us” (Ps 11:1, 2)

“Rise up, you women who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech” (Is 32:9)

We continue with the message given to the women in Father’s House Bible Church, Warri, Nigeria.

In the previous chapter Isaiah rebukes the men for going to Egypt to look for wealth, help and counsel. There is a curse upon the men who do that. “Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses…Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out His hand, both he who helps will fall, and he who is helped will fall down. They all will perish together” (Is 31:1, 3). These verses describe the men of Israel, the husbands of these women at ease. The men look for help in the world. The wives were to advice their husbands not to go to the world for help and prosperity but to trust in God. But they did not care about the methods their husbands used to become wealthy so far they become rich and famous. The wives are seen here passively waiting for their husbands to come back from Egypt with horses. In today’s language, these women are waiting for their husbands to come from America with big cars, clothes and money. The wives do not pray, therefore they are ignorant of the plan of God to make the men fall and fail abroad. In Hebrew, these words describe a man becoming a fugitive, inferior and lost like a slave in another man’s land. This is seen as a terrible waste of opportunities, a tragic and unfulfilled life. Their wives at home live at ease and dream big but they shall be totally disappointed by their husbands. This is God’s judgment on any one who forsakes God and worships the world.

Try to imagine these women. A commentator describes them as lazy and superficial. “They have no thought beyond the wardrobe”. But the truth is that generally, most Christian women are not at ease. They work hard and desire to be spiritual. They love their home but do not worship its comfort. They pray and intercede for their families. This is God’s gift to them. So why are these women ‘at ease in Zion’? Egypt is a symbol for the world, the system of men who live without God. The explanation for being at ease is the sin of loving the world. Remember that we are all born sinners. The world is what we know and love before coming to know the Savior. As Christians we are to repent and reject the love of the world. If not, the world will attract us to its adulterous arms again. Women, be watchful! The interest for the world starts small. Slowly, it creeps back into our hearts. We silently admire the fashion of the world, their mode of dressing. We learn to play games, seducing men just for the fun of it. The movies, the magazines, they call us by name. Little by little we develop a wrong contentment and a false peace with no longing for God.

We repent of every desire of loving the world. May we desire to be women of God indeed! For the glory of God! For the sake of our souls! For the sake of our families! For the sake of our communities! In Jesus name, amen!

HAPPY WITH CHURCH TONIGHT

This evening the sisters in our church gathered for the ‘women’s fellowship’.  It was truly wonderful. We prayed, praised God and encouraged each other as we shared testimonies. The presence of God was strong in our midst. I still feel a trembling in my chest and my knees. I told them that the last time we gathered, I prepared a message on healing. But I was not free to deliver it. We only prayed and interceded. The message of today revealed a hindrance to our healing. The Holy Spirit revealed a tendency to take our blessings for granted, to become spiritually lazy, a secret desire to backslide and to be ‘at ease in Zion’. We repented and prayed for revival to come.  Healing shall follow. No doubt at all. This is part one of the message:

“Rise up, you women who are at ease,

Hear my voice;

You complacent daughters,

Give ear to my speech” (Is 32:9)

This passage is the warning of the Prophet Isaiah to the women living in Judah. At this time the northern Kingdom of Israel has been conquered by the Assyrians. Its inhabitants, men, women and children have been sent into exile. Shenacherib was preparing to attack Jerusalem but the people, especially the women, were careless regarding the coming danger. They are described as being ‘at ease’. In Hebrew, the word describes someone who is at peace, secure and quietly resting. To be at ease it means to be comfortable, free from pain, labor, constrain, difficulty or embarrassment. It means to be free to be yourself and none can rebuke you for that. Being at ease can be seen as negative or positive. In verses 9 and 11 it is used in a negative way. It describes women who are proud, careless of other’s pains and living in a ‘fool’s paradise’, as they say. They are successful as wives and mothers but have no longing to know God. They are prosperous but do not pray. They are settled but not spiritual. They are wealthy but do not worship God.  But the same word is used in a positive way in verse 18 and it describes the true rest and peace of the repentant woman who is spiritual, humble and loving.

Isaiah identifies the sin of these women and rebukes them. He wants them to repent, to change. Like a military commander, he uses one verb after another to wake them up from their foolish slumber and false peace. He tells them to rise up and to tremble. He commands them to listen to the Word of God. He tells them to strip from their fancy dresses and to dress up with ‘sack clothes’, as a sign that they have truly repented.

These words are painful but necessary. May we repent from being at ease and unspiritual! May we hear the voice of the Lord! May healing come!  In Jesus name, amen!

“By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible” (Heb 11:24-27)

Some time ago I read a story. It is called ‘The eagles and the turkeys’. In the story, a baby eagle became restless and curious. Against his mother’s advice he leaned over the edge of his nest and fell down. He landed in a farm in the midst of a family of turkeys. They welcomed him. He grew up thinking he was a turkey. He ate with the turkeys. He remembered that his mother eagle hunted and brought meat for him. Now he has to eat corn like the other turkeys. He was afraid to complain because he wanted to belong. He wanted to be a turkey. He slept with the turkeys. He learned the turkey’s language. He planned to marry a turkey. He convinced himself that his destiny is to be a turkey. But he knew in his heart that he wasn’t a turkey. He tried hard to kill his eagle’s dreams. He wanted to forget the power of his wings. Life went on and on…until one day…
One day he looked up to saw an eagle soaring majestically in the afternoon sky. That was the moment of destiny! At that moment he knew that he was an eagle. He opened his wings and flew away.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Ps 139:14)

An inferiority complex is a lack of self-worth, a doubt about the value of your person. It manifests as depression, anxiety, feelings of failure, of not measuring up to standards. It is often subconscious. Most of these people try to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or wrong behavior. This inferiority complex develops in children whose parents are either too harsh or too soft with them.  If your child hears negative words in the home, with time he will believe them. If you spoil your child and pamper him too much, he will become helpless in life and develop inferiority complex.

O, how I love the Word of God. Here I have found a treasure. These are just some few of the life changing lessons I have learned. In the Bible I am commanded to deliver myself from all negative thinking, from all inferiority complexes. I am not supposed to feel offended when others think or say that I am too young or too old, too white or too black, too ugly or too un-fashionable. For me in particular, as a woman of God, I am not to apologize for being a foreigner or a woman.

This is my testimony: As a young woman I was afflicted by an inferiority complex based on my looks. Foolishly, I was comparing myself with Miss. Romania and or course, I failed the test. I forgot that I had other gifts that she did not possess. With all my academic achievements, my life became sad and restless. I worried a lot about the future. For example: ‘I am ugly. Who will marry me?’ I knew that my way of thinking was wrong but I could change myself. I tried to free myself from these negative thoughts but could not do it on my own. Even my husband tried to change me but could not.

I finally became free when I met the Lord. The light of God shone in my dark heart. I became born again. I became a child of God. He changed my heart and my mind. This change was gradual but sure. Little by little I started seeing myself thru the eyes of Christ. I started believing that Jesus loves me, so I started loving myself. I had the boldness to believe that He bought me with His Blood. Therefore I must have a great value in His eyes. God lifted up my head. I stopped desiring to be someone else. I stopped comparing myself with others. My infatuation with Miss. Romania died.  I became free indeed!

I testify to the glory of God that the old familiar demon of inferiority was totally defeated and ran away. The new mind of Christ gave me peace, joy, the assurance of eternal life and the right standing in the presence of God. I declared the Word of God over my life.  I saw myself as the Work of God. How then can I be ugly? It is impossible! How can I be a failure? It is impossible! How can I be last when God declares me to ‘the head and not the tail’? How can I be called barren when God says that I am a ‘fruitful vine’? I am not made on earth! I am made in heaven! I totally believe the report of the Lord! I am deaf to the voice of the devil. He is not my Creator. He is not my God. I reject all lies. I believe and rejoice with the truth! Praise the Lord O, my soul!

Finally, Child of God, stop worrying! Be encouraged you there! God loves you! If God can change my heart, my mind and my circumstances, He will do the same for you! Be patient and have faith to the end!

1. As ‘ugly’ as I thought I was, the most wonderful and handsome man I ever met married me. That was 41 years ago. We have three children and six grandchildren (for now). God sent him to Romania to marry me!!! God makes all things beautiful in His own time and in His own way! What a mighty God we serve! This is my story! This is my song!

This is our wedding hall in the new church. We need more chairs, but you can see the beauty already…Many shall start their marriages here. To God be all the glory!
