The Spirit-filled life is a lifelong adventure into the depths of God's Love. Jesus is the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, desiring to inundate everyone who comes to Him with Living Water from His Well, which never runs dry.

Matthew 5: 16 says, "Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, who is in heaven" (NASB 1995).

This book is a true story.

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.

A heartfelt emotional rollercoaster you won't be able to put down.

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.

What is a godly way of life? A godly way of life is living our lives in "the way" Jesus lived his life, the "godly way," according to his teachings. A godly way of life is the way we conduct ourselves in our every thought, action, and reaction in our everyday lives to let the rest of the world see our Creator through us by doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
