Discovering the Power of Faith and God’s Transformative Grace
If you had to explain how faith works, could you?
Ten years ago, I couldn’t, and it nearly cost my life. I was your run-of-the-mill, goodie-two-shoes, church girl. I loved God and could have beaten nine out of ten people at Bible trivia. But when my heart stopped beating, what I didn’t know was killing me. I didn’t know what faith looked like, or how to use it. There was no doubt that God could heal me, but I wasn’t sure He wanted to.
I had every reason to believe He wouldn’t. After all, my mother died of cancer, and she had spent years loving and serving the Lord. If she didn’t get healed, why would I? Still, I knew this one thing... if I based my faith on my past experience, it would fail every time.
The voice of the Holy Spirit was beckoning me to gaze steadfastly at His word, to let go of everything else, and believe what the Bible says. It all boiled down to this: Hosea 4:6—My people perish for lack of knowledge.
A Long Road to Healing
I’d like to tell you I received healing in an instant and never looked back, but it wasn’t that easy. God was so merciful that night, giving me breath that I sure didn’t deserve.
The deeper I looked into the Word of God, the more I recognized how submerged I was in doubt, fear, and wrong thinking about who God is and how He works. I’m so thankful He is patient and kind! Like an onion, peeling back the layers, scripture revealed more and more thoughts I needed to change. It also showed me that I needed to develop a Godly vision of my life, one that didn’t waver.
I cut out books and music, even Christian ones (some of them are running over with doubt) and spent hours each day feeding myself the medicine of the Word. My body continued to falter; sometimes the symptoms were like an ocean determined to drown me.

The Power of Faith in Action
As time passed, I learned how to fight the attacks of doubt and the symptoms that sure seemed like they would take me out. My children were small, only three and one years old, and I needed to know how faith can move mountains for them as well.
Early on, when my body was trying to die, I poked my husband in the chest and said, “Don’t take me to a doctor. If Jesus says He heals, then He does!”
Gray wasn’t acceptable anymore. I had to be hot or cold, and I dove headfirst into being on fire for God’s will. Jesus said, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”
Well, how is it in Heaven? Does sickness or pain exist there? Is it the home of sadness or loss? You see, God’s will is pretty plain when you back out of religious thinking and start believing what James 1:7 says: Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of Lights!
The enemy couldn’t trick me any longer into thinking God made me sick. If God did, He would have had to steal it from the devil, because there isn’t any sickness, or even tears in Heaven! For me, it was a long road to healing, though the more I learned, the faster I received.
As we lived out the laws that govern faith, our family saw so many miracles. My heart was completely healed. My husband was crushed by a tree and dislocated his shoulder, but two days later he was climbing that tree to finish cutting it down.
My petite six-year-old daughter got her ankle caught in two moving pieces of metal weighing over eight hundred pounds. It was swelling before my eyes and turning an evil shade of purple. We prayed (my praying sounds different these days!) and did what we call a remembering. That’s when we build up our faith by recalling what the Lord has done and the miracles we’ve seen so far.
Choosing Faith Over Fear
She stopped crying but wouldn’t put weight on that foot. There was a small playground nearby that she wanted to play on, so I carried her from the swings to the monkey bars. She hopped on one foot over to a slide that was taller than me and as steep as Mount Everest.
When she tried to step on that foot, she pulled back in pain, so she climbed to the top on one foot and one knee. She sat up there and looked down at me. There was a war going on just then!
My motherly heart cried, “Stop her!” but in my spirit, I knew without any doubt that Jesus had already taken her pain.
Have you ever thought about how Jesus called out, “It is finished!” Either He meant it, or He didn’t. Isaiah 53:5 says, With His stripes, you are healed. I’m here today to tell you He meant it!
My daughter got the biggest smile on her face, then she pushed off, zipped down the slide, slammed into the ground with both feet, and never had another bit of pain or problems from that ankle. Praise God!
Faith That Works
Someday, you’ll need your faith to work, too. Shouldn’t you know the laws and principles that govern it? God thinks so! There is a clear path to seeing the mountains you face move. It’s not a mystery, or the lottery—it’s laws that always work when you work them!
That’s why I wrote Plunged, a fast-paced sci-fi novel where Jacob Carter takes a journey into the spiritual side of our world. Join him today on a hard-hitting allegory that will change your life and reveal the secrets of faith. Brace yourself!

Christmas Advent Week 2 – Magnify the Lord - Dr. Larry Keefauver
We are in a season of 77 days of prayer for saving America. We have completed 40 days of prayer, fasting, and repentance prior to the election of President Trump. In His Mercy, God has snacked us out of the jaws of evil and given us a season for reviving, restoration, and the opportunity to redeem the times from evil. In these end times, God has given us a nation founded on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—blessing and prosperity.
As we pray for peace on earth and goodwill toward men in this Christmas season, let us join with Americans everywhere in understanding that Happy Holidays isn’t what Christmas is about. We celebrate the birth of the Messiah, Jesus the Christ.
In earlier devotions and prayers, we have talked about the importance of Day 1 both prophetically and politically. Day 1 in Advent was the birth of Christ which initiated the Kingdom of God. Day 1 is coming for the Trump administration to initial the policies to save America from all the damaging policies from the last four years. So, let’s declare that the prophetic, good plans God spoke to Israel will be prayed over America now for January 20th and beyond:
“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
This Christmas let us pray, “O Christ Child, King of kings and Lord of lords, grant wisdom and favor to our President and leaders to implements Thy good plans for America giving us hope for a blessed and prosperous future. Amen.”
“We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a
nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied
in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the
truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained
the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity.”

77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Day 36: Unified in Purpose – Praying for Unity in Leadership and the Nation
Weeks 4-8: Divine Guidance and Governance (Inspired by Joshua)
Focus: Courage in Leadership and Unwavering Faith
Scripture:
"All the Israelites joined together in unity to fight against their enemies." – Joshua 10:5
"How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!" – Psalm 133:1
Reflection:
As we progress through Day 32 of our “77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening” campaign, Joshua’s leadership was not only about courage and faith but also about fostering unity among the tribes of Israel. Together, they accomplished what no individual tribe could achieve on its own—victory in battle and settlement in the Promised Land. Unity in purpose strengthened their efforts and ensured that God’s mission was fulfilled.
Today, let us pray for unity in our nation and among our leaders. May President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their team work together with a shared vision for America’s future, setting aside divisions to focus on God’s purpose. Let us also reflect on the importance of unity in our families, communities, and churches, remembering that when we are united in God’s mission, great things can be accomplished.
Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for the example of unity demonstrated by Joshua and the tribes of Israel. Today, we pray for unity among our leaders—President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their team. May they work together with a shared purpose, putting aside differences to serve the nation faithfully and fulfill Your mission.
Lord, we also pray for unity in our communities, families, and churches. Help us to seek common ground and focus on the greater purpose You have set before us. Strengthen our bonds and remind us that we are stronger together when we walk in faith and love.
In the Mighty name of Jesus, I invoke the standing order of Almighty God to protect my family and our beloved country, America, from every attack, to propel us above every circumstance and crisis, and to prevent any weapon formed against us from prospering, so that we will not fall or fail but will be overcomers, more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. I command angels to surround us, to uphold and guard us in all our ways. Amen.
Wisdom for Awakening:
Unity in God’s purpose is a powerful force for change and victory. Today, reflect on ways you can contribute to unity in your community, focusing on shared goals that honor God.
Action for Awakening:
Reach out to someone with whom you may have differences and find a way to collaborate or support each other in a shared purpose. Pray together for unity in your relationship and community.
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with a heart for unity and peace. May He guide our leaders to work together in harmony, building a stronger and more faithful nation. May we all walk in the spirit of togetherness, striving to fulfill God’s mission with love and purpose.
God bless!
