I experimented with Buddhist meditation, Hindu Yoga and involved myself extensively with Shamanism. I knew there was power and glory in the Heavenly places, but I did not know how to access it.

 

One day at a long-term New Age gathering, I said, “I want to know Jesus.”

The Lord used a woman in New Zealand to tell me, through a friend, that God wants to be in a personal relationship with us. She warned to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. And to not lean upon my own understanding; in other words, don’t make up your own spiritual doctrine. Instantly the lies that I believed vanished, and I felt the undeniable truth of the one true living God. 

 

I quickly learned that the Father who created us loves us wildly, and He knows and remembers every little detail of our lives. I learned that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, He heals, and He invites us to partner with Him in the supernatural. And I learned the Holy Spirit is the power in the miraculous; and by being baptized and born again in the Spirit, we can see the supernatural manifest through our prayers. 

 

I saw my first God miracle 15 months after I was saved. I prayed for healing for a thick knee scab, and watched as a strip of it melted to fresh, pink skin.

 

Since then, I have prayed for many people who have received their healing miracles

​

• I have had the honor and privilege to pray for a blind woman to receive her sight.

• A woman with Stage 4 cancer and a man with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma were completely healed.

• A Southern Black-American woman was set free from a spirit of shame.

• A leg grew out.

• A slipped disc was healed.

• Pain left, mobility returned.

• And so much more.

 

Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12).

 

This book series is birthed out of a passion to see God’s stories told, to glorify His holy name, and to build outrageous faith for believers and non-believers. I pray that we all see the glory of Heaven come to Earth, and that His supernatural love becomes our daily reality. 

May God bless you abundantly,
