Behold Your God [antikvár]

Chapter 1 GOD IS OUR LOVING FATHER Some years ago i saw a miracle. it was a small thing as miracles go—merely a sick child who went to sleep when a minister prayed for him, and who awoke and was well. That miracle made for me a new heaven and a new earth. It showed me that God is real, and that His Word still goes forth to [^ accomplish His Will in the creation of His making. So it awoke in me hope and faith and a renewed purpose for living. I had seen with my eyes that God's power could work through an individual. But I did not know how an individual could become a channel for God's power. Before many months I wanted to know this, because I saw about me suffering and darkness that only God could help, and I saw that people were shitit'^ofif from God so that His help could not reach them. How could one reconnect them with Him, so that His will could be done in them? There was no one to tell me. The minister who had prayed for my baby could channel ±e ppwer, but ^^Id not explain it in words that I was able to'coApfelienff'^ True, Y learned from him many useful things about the care of my own body and mind. But when I asked, "What is this power and how does one use it for others?" he only replied, very truly. "It is a power of the super-mind." Yes, but what was the "super-mind" and how could one put it into action? There are many books today that try to explain this matter. But at the time I knew none of them. Therefore, I decided to find the answer in two ways: first, by studying the words of Jesus Christ, and second, by testipg what He said and seeing whether it worked or not. ' This sounds very simple, but it did not prove] to be so. First of all, I found that what He said went directly contrary to many of the explanations concerning religion that I had been taught since my youth. For instance, I had been told that the age of G/ks^ft^ 'mifw. >11») 9 JiuntKn^Ui^
