Since the October camp meeting God has been working in my heart about “the power.” I used to only worry about head knowledge and just to learn things until the October camp meeting. Then a preacher mentioned what Jesus’ response was to a messenger sent by John the Baptist asking, “Are you the One?” Jesus’ answer never seemed that way to me before but He was clearly saying go tell him all the miracles happening through the power. So without power our works do not mean much.  When we are so focused on information and performance it is so easy to just do things based on the information. But without the power all passes by but what happened to you or what you have seen with your eyes remains.

Since then I am more aware of the power. Just like I heard of Dr. Phil saying last night motivational messages won’t go far. I know from myself going to church and listening to a great message. By Tuesday excitement is gone and by Friday you may not even remember the message. But when there is a demonstration that happens either to me or another it stays with you. How could you deny or forget how God healed you? Both from a physical or spiritual pain.

When you come from a Muslim background, especially as a woman you are not worth much. But I keep hearing more and more that Jesus gave His everything so I am worth everything to Him-Hicran M.
