peace in my heart. I decided to live in harmony and at peace with<br />
God’s people. The healing process is not our effort. It is God’s<br />
plan for us. Quick and effortless healing requires our humility<br />
and submission to God. I love Jesus because when you partner<br />
with Him, He helps you deal with the complex issues of life.<br />
Many people prefer to hide and not testify after their healing<br />
and conversion because of the rough road that leads there. In<br />
fact, they fear facing the war that goes hand in hand with<br />
conversion.<br />
Be courageous and fearless because the battle is not yours. Jesus<br />
is on our side and says, “Whoever acknowledges me before men,<br />
I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven,” (Mathew<br />
10:32). Again, the transformation process will not be well<br />
received immediately. People will want to understand why you<br />
stopped doing what you used to do or why you stopped hanging<br />
out with them. It is worse if you have to separate yourself from<br />
the people you used to associate with. Prayer is therefore a<br />
major weapon. For every bullet they fire at you, fight back with<br />
patience, strength, calmness and hope. Although not everyone<br />
will understand you, the plan of God over your life will stand.<br />

did not have a place to stay. I most definitely would have been<br />
killed then. When my husband was imprisoned, and my family<br />
had abandoned me, I would have been killed. Even with my job,<br />
it is not by coincidence that I worked there that long without<br />
any harm or sabotage. When I thought about these things, it<br />
became clear to me that it had been the grace of God<br />
sustaining me all that time. It was just by the power and mercy<br />
of God that I woke up every day. I had never seen God as the<br />
best friend that was by me every step of the way, until I made<br />
the right choice to follow Him. Before getting this revelation,<br />
there was no way I could experience inner peace. I was going<br />
through a troublesome time, and because my inner man was<br />
dead, my mind was distressed. My journey to attaining inner<br />
peace started when I understood how Satan, the enemy works,<br />
