The Power of The Word

Got to share this with you! God's word no play play! He is powerful and He is present!

During one of the therapy session I had with a client, she had openly expressed that she is a believer and thus she is awfully troubled by what's happening in her life. I asked for her permission if I could pray for her and use the words during the therapy session. She was pleased.

"Peace I leave with your. My peace I give to you....Let not your heart be troubled. Do not be afraid." John 14:27
This was the verse that I used during our session. This was only the first session. A week later, 2 days before the next session, she sms me to cancel the appointment.

She shared with me that she has gotten out of her situation and understand that it is all in the mind. "Let not your heart be troubled." She thanked me for helping her to relax her mind and understand God's gift. In fact, she was so much better now in her personal life, that she has gone ahead in setting up her own business.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

By the way, don't worry about my business... "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." Psalm 23:1

Holy Spirit, thank You for convicting me everyday...

Holy Spirit, thank You for convicting me everyday of God's righteousness given to me as a gift.

Last night I was feeling lousy as I looked at my undesirable financial history. The way I handled money that resulted in my current financial situation. I was looking at the life I was brought up in - abused as a child, abused as a wife. So broken, helpless, hopeless.

Who am I to deserve the status I have today? People trusting in me with their issues and money. And miraculously, God helping them through me as I see each and everyone leaving the office feeling calm and smiling.

This morning, after a long weekend of full-day training, I was catching up with my reading of "Destined to Reign Devotional". I felt God heard me and was telling me to have no doubt of His choice and His blessings especially when I came to 29 Feb and 1 Mar.


Don't Give Up At Thirtyfold!
Mark 4:8
"But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty and some a hundred."
"If you have seen only a thrityfold increase in your situation, don't give up. The sixtyfold, then hundredfold increases are on their way to you!" Ah huh! Indeed I have seen the thirtyfold in my business for the past 2 months. Now, as it slows down a little and I was reminded of my past, I am at the verge of giving up. But no! The Lord knows and He reminded me. Thank you!

God Can Use Those Whom The World Rejects
1 Corinthians 1:26
"For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called."
"God chooses the weak, the small, the forgotten and the losers to confound those mighty in the world." I hear you Lord. I asked that God shows me His presence in ways I can understand and know He is by my side and He did.

Could I still chance upon these two verses when I read the book some other time? Oh yes, definitely. It's in print! But could I have read it timely to sooth my heart and mind? No if without God's intervention. I was supposed to have 2 straight appointments in the morning. They were both rescheduled soI had the time to sit down and catch up with my reading that I have placed aside for 4 days straight.

Thank you Jesus!
