Acknowledgement
Id like to dedicate this book to my loving
husband Leon. He has been so faithful and helpful
to me as I have spent much time writing
this book and getting it together.
Hes such a man of faith and has
inspired me over the years. He has such
love for Jesus Christ and for me. He loves the
work of the Lord and is faithful to it.
Together we make such a great team
and I thank God for him. Thank you honey
for standing with me and for being so
patient with me.

CHAPTER 1
Theres Life in Gods Word
Prov.4:20-23, My son or daughter, listen and pay attention to what I say, listen close to Me. Do not let them out of your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life who find them and health to your whole body. Above all else, guard your heart for it in the well spring of life. The Word of God is life to you and it will keep you safe in Him always. It will bring health to your body and food to your bones. Keep My laws and commandments and you will live, keep My Words and store up My commandments within you. Guard My teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers and write them on the tablet of your heart. Prov.4:10-13, Listen to Me and accept what I say and the years of your life will be many. My Word will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk your steps will not be hindered. When you run you will not stumble. Hold on to My instructions, do not let them go, guard them with your life. Prov.3:1-2. Dont forget My teachings but keep them in your heart for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
Ps.119:105, David said, Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. We know the Word of God will last forever and will never change. Blessed are they that hear the Word and obey. The Word will preserve your life. We have seen in Proverbs that if we will obey the Word that it will prolong our life. It will keep you from falling. Joshua 14:11, Joshua said, I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me out at the age of forty and now I am eighty five. He went through many wars and battles and was a great man of God. God kept him through it all and He will still do the same for you and me today for He never changes. Joshua had a made up mind to serve God for he said, for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Theres power in the Word of God. If you want a good life here on this earth then you will have to serve the Lord just as Joshua did. You have to love the Lord with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength. Give Him your all, your entire body and life. Jesus is still asking today, whom do you serve? Theres life in Him for He is the Word. A Christians life is exciting, happy and rewarding. Yes, there will be problems, trials, sorrows and tests but God will be with you to see you through for He said He would. Dont just exist in this life but live for theres life in the Word and Jesus Christ is the Word.
A Christians life is satisfying
Ps.17:15, As for me I will behold, I will see Your face in righteousness and I shall be satisfied when I awake with Your likeness. Ps.63:5, You satisfy me more than the richest of food and I will praise You with songs of joy. Ps.16:11, You will show me the way of life granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasure of living with Your favor. The Word of God will show you the ways of a good life. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Ps.103:5, Bless the Lord oh my soul, who satisfies my soul with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle. The eagle never grows old and his feathers stay the same. Ps.1:3, You shall be like a tree planted by the river of water, your leaf shall not wither and whatever you do shall prosper. Ps.92:14, Even in old age you will bring forth fruit and are fat and flourishing. For God satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness. If you are hungry for the Word of God, He will feed you and you will be made full. Isa.58:11, The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your soul even in drought and make fat your bones and you shall be like a watered garden and a spring of water whose waters fail not. If you will do your part and serve Him, you can rest assured that He will do what He said. He will not fail you, never. John 6:35, Jesus said, I am the bread of life. Whosoever comes to Me shall never hunger and whosoever comes to Me will never thirst.
A Christians life is promising
Isa.41:17, Even the poor and needy are rich in the Lord. When they call upon the Lord He hears them and does not forsake them. There are a lot of Christians struggling to survive through these hard times. Their money is gone, their health is not good and everything seems to be down on them. But the Word of God tells us there is life in the Word. There is help for all who will follow Him and be obedient to Him. All of the promises in the Word of God are for those who follow Him. If you obey His commandments and serve Him with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength then the blessings belong to you. Luke 11:9, Jesus promised that if you would ask He would give to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. You have to seek Him first of all, and then come to Him. You have to trust Him with all of your heart for He has all of these promises for you. He wants you to have what you need to survive and not have to struggle. If you are struggling, ask yourself, why? Are you giving your tithe? He only asks for ten percent of your first fruits. You see, a Christian has to do something to be able to achieve the promises of God. A lot of Christians are missing out on a lot of blessings because they arent following Gods Word. He never promised that we would be rich but that He would meet our every need if we were faithful to Him. If youre not reaping the promises of God then you need to check yourself to see why. Its never Gods fault for He will keep His promises forever.
