Book excerpt: EVERY THING BEGINS with the Word of God. God speaks everything into existence. With God Word and deed go together. Whatever God says, He does. When God said: “Let there be light”, there was light. God’s Word is powerful. His Word can lift up or bring down. His Word is never weak or wavering. His Word is truthful and trustworthy. When God speaks, something happens. I have heard God speak to me seven times. This is a personal story of my life and ministry with particular focus on my reaction to the seven times I know that God spoke to me.
