Everyday, most of the faithful pray the Apostles Creed which starts with " I believe in God the Father, the ALmighty."
Just those few words---do you really believe in God the Father--of all--the ALMIGHTY --who created all? ALL MIGHTY: what do you say or pray when you speak those words? Or the Words of the Lord's Prayer. "Our Father who ARE in heaven, (and on earth, too, everywhere) DO you really BELIEVE what you are speaking?
Speaking of which, do you believe in the POWER of the WORD of God. "Just say the Word, and I will be healed."
What Word? Any Word spoken by God, or inspired by God, and found in Holy Scripture.
Do you believe that if you have the faith the size of a mustard seed--you can speak to a mountain and it will be moved?
God has led me to know and believe that if I speak to a tornado, by the authority of His Word--"I speak to you tornado, and say to you get back up in that sky and stay up there and don't come down again!!!" Speaking those Words or prayer ---works every time. If you believe.
John 14:12-14 ESV “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."
Do we believe this Promise of God to be truth? We can do what He did even greater?
It is one thing to pray the Rosary daily, to go to Mass weekly---but if you truly want to be a disciple of Christ, to be empowered by the Holy Spirit---you must read the Word of God daily and believe that Word is speaking to you!! Hear the Word of God, trust and obey that Word. There is POWER in the WORD of God--all things are possible if we truly believe the Words spoken by God to we ---His children. Seek Him, while He may be found. Call to Him while He is still near.
BELIEVE like never before and KNOW God by reading His Words and experience His power and Presence in you daily life as you believe, trust and obey---led by His Holy Spirit. Walk and talk with God every moment of the day.
KNOW, just how crucial the importance of believing in the Word of God, in this day and age of growing evil as we draw closer to the Return of Jesus and the fulfillment of all of Revelation.
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
