This book is a book written in study form. It is a book that will enlighten those who are searching for the plan and purpose of God for man. It will help the young in the Lord to understand why they were born into the realm of earth and what their destiny is in Spirit. It was written over thirty years ago when I was also young in the move of God and was diligently searching for my spiritual identity. God began to pour out revelation to me and totally changed my life. I offer this book in love, please read it in the light of how and why it is written. In school we were taught in order to write properly, we should have a thesis sentence that contained a short summary of what the theme was to express or convey to the reader. God is the greatest author of all and in the first chapter of Genesis, we find His thesis sentence. We read that the heavens and the earth were created in six days and on the seventh day God rested. When we examine these days with the aid of the Spirit of God, we find they are an outline or pattern of the remaining portion of the Bible. God's purpose in the seventh day is to rest in the fact His creation is fulfilling His will in the earth, that He may be all and in all.
Author Biography
I was born and raised in a small rural community in Southeastern Oklahoma where I attended a Nazarene Church. The church's Pastor was a woman we called "Sister Neal". Her Life was a living testimony of being wholly dedicated to God. She was such a great influence in my life that the stigma against women ministers was never an issue with me. In 1955 my husband and I moved to Houston, Texas where I attended the Lakewood Church. My Pastor John Osteen was a powerful vessel ordained by God to be a pioneer of the Charismatic move of God in the earth. I can still hear him now declaring, "Pentecost is not a denomination, it's an experience!" On March 19th, 1959 I received this glorious baptism of fire. In 1973, I founded the Word of Life Church and have been the Pastor for the past thirty-seven years. Through the years I have evangelized across the United States and since 2005 I have had the honor of ministering in the Philippines, India, Guatemala and Mexico. These countries continue to be a Missionary outreach for Word of Life Church.
