I have always believed in God and the miracles that He performs daily. I just never thought I would be the recipient of one of those miracles! I like to classify these miracles as two separate entities: “Divine healing,” after something is already there and then suddenly disappears, and “Divine intervention,” something is found when looking for something else and is fixed, therefore saving a life—the latter being my case. I feel like God saved me for a reason, and that reason is to bring others closer, or “back” to Him, hence the reason I felt led to write this book.

I'm writing this book to encourage people and hear different testimonies on how God brought them out or how big of a blessing it is to put God first and trust him. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony: I've been through a lot of things, but God brought me through every storm, trial, test, and tribulation. My mother said that I was gifted as a little girl, and now that I'm older, I see the gifts God has given me. I hear from God, and he gives me what to say to his people; by me being obedient to his word, things come to pass.

It's time for the body of Christ to rise up and walk in the freedom that Jesus paid for us to have. Satan has no more power over us because Christ has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of God's dear Son.
