Philippians 4:6-7 says " Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." We cannot change anything, we can only make our situation worse by not trusting God enough to go to Him in prayer. When we are afraid and don't trust God enough this is not God's fault, but mines and yours.

Hebrews 11:6, says " But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that is he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." I challenge anyone who listened to this Podcast to try Jesus Christ, and to tell other individuals who have not to also try. From first-hand experience, I promise you that this will be the best decision of your live.  Minster Dr. Carolyn Fields-Smith

To believe in the Word of God is our saving grace, thank God it is, for me. When we believe in the Word we are believing in Christ Jesus, Who is the Living Word.   In John chapter 1, it says," In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  In Christ Jesus we have hope. G. K. Chesterton wrote these words "There is no medicine like hope, no incentive, so great, and no tonic so powerful as the expectation of something better tomorrow." This is what Jesus Christ did for me for Himself is Hope and there is nothing better or more powerful than the Lord Jesus Christ.  The Good News is, what has done for me and so many others, He will willingly do the same for you. 

In this Podcast, I  offered methods God utilized to start the process of my healing. His methods are not hidden from anyone, they are Biblical. Reading the Word of God was and still is an important part of my Christian walk.  However, learning how would not be easy, but it was made possible through Christ Jesus. "For God all things are possible." If you believe that God made a dry path in the Jordan River to allow safe passage for His children. Then believing God's ability to re-teach one to read should be easy. 

Mental illnesses/disorders are dangerous and when left unattended can be deadly and there is nothing sweet about these illnesses. However, when I came to the realization that if I allowed God He could make me sane. I believed with all of my heart that if healing was not in God's plans for me, then He was more than able to keep me.  Scriptures became one of my stronger weapons which I learned through Christ Jesus to use against Satan. For example, Psalm 121:1-2, " I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." (KJV). God became my Helper and my Keeper and He will do the same for each of you in the name of Christ Jesus. 

God has the ability to rewrite our history. God can heal our bodies, and our minds and even change the events of our lives, for nothing is impossible for Him. There are many stories in the Bible where God actually changed the past. Such as the ones Jesus raised from the dead. This message offered here is a story of a man born within life situations who was looked on at by others in a moment, not knowing what God had planned for his ending.  This lesson also teaches us the importance of prayer and a close relationship with God.  

For all of us, there is a place we are most comfortable. This message offered today is an illustration of a widow who was willing to partake in her own breakthrough and deliver.  However, in order to do so she had to participate, she couldn't just sit and wish. She become involved in the plans of God to gain what was needed to not just pay her bills, but also save the lives of her sons. Thus, she move from what had most likely been comfortable as a wife to the uncomfortable position of a widow in need.  When we become willing to move from what we deem as comfortable to what we fear or see as uncomfortable we then can become willing participators in the Kingdom of allowing Jesus to be Lord of our lives.  

Faith in the Word of God; which means that we believe all of God's promises, is my opinion the only way to have a blessed life. I say this because a blessed life means different things to different individuals.  While material blessings are certainly included in God's favor, however, the Bible ascribes a much fuller meaning to the term blessed. For me, a true look into what blessed looks like is noted by the Creator Himself in the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes can be read in the book of Matthew 5:3-12: and Luke 6:20-23. Biblical scholars proclaim that a true servant of God is blessed, regardless of circumstances, because God has favored him or her with a fully satisfied soul ( Psalm 63:1-5: John 4:14). AMEN

In the book of Genesis, God preaches the first sermon in regard to His Son.  God makes a promise that is fulfilled in the New Testament. The birth of Jesus Christ is the most important event that has happened on this earth and it was for mankind, and because of His love for mankind.
