Secrets to Success Part 1

Secrets to Success
Part 1
By Mitch Mosier

The disciples asked Jesus a question in John 6:28 “What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?” Jesus answer was very simple and straight to the point. In John 6:29 He said, This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He hath sent.”

What did Jesus mean by that? He simply was saying “If you want to do the works of my Father you must believe on me.” What does believing on Jesus involve? It involves believing in God’s Word. John 1:1 says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:14 says “And the Word was made flesh….” Jesus is the Word! If I believe on Jesus, I believe the Word of God!

What did Jesus tell the disciples to do? BELIEVE! He was telling them that their belief system was important. What do you believe in? Are you always looking for disaster or do you go back to God’s Word and agree with Mark 9:23 Where Jesus said, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”

Let’s take a look at the “Works of God”. What are the works of God? Jesus said in John 8:29 “I do always those things that please Him.” Whatever Jesus did was the result of what His Father wanted him to do. What did Jesus do? Acts 10:38 describes Jesus ministry. “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” His ministry was a reflection of the “Works of God.”

What you believe in is important! The Bible tells us how to change our belief system in Romans 12:1-2.
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Start today by being a doer of God’s Word. Give God’s Word priority and final authority in your life. Say “I believe God’s Word. God’s Word is true.”

Sophia Joy's Testimony

Sophia Joy’s Testimony

Hallelujah! God does not change. His Word is everlasting. It is the same today as it was yesterday. God is Jehovah Rophi, the One and Only Healer of every part of mankind; spirit, soul and body. Our family has truly experienced the healing power of God..

In July 2006, my wife and I were pregnant with our third child, a little girl. We enjoyed a healthy pregnancy until the beginning of the seventh month. My wife began to suffer with pregnancy induced carpel tunnel, gained nearly 30 lbs in two weeks with increased blood pressure. The doctors closely monitored her for pre-clampsia. One night as Cassy wrestled with sleeping, she watched Oral Roberts Ministry on television. She was introduced to the miracle-working power of the Apostle Paul through the means of prayer cloths and knew she needed to connect with the healing power of God through a prayer cloth. (Acts 19). Cassy was never able to request a prayer cloth due to premature labor.

During the delivery, my wife’s placenta separated from the uterus and our baby’s oxygen supply was cut-off for thirty minutes. Sophia Joy was pronounced dead on arrival. The neo-care staff responded immediately. During resuscitation, Sophia’s lung was perforated. She was rushed to the neo-care unit to receive emergency care. Over a period of hours we were allowed to see her. Her prognosis was not good. As we stood over our little four and half pound baby resting in the middle of monitors, wires, and tubes, the faith of Jesus rose up in us. We were not allowed to touch her, but spoke the living and healing Word of God in her little lifeless body. We began to take back that which the enemy was seeking to destroy.

The next day the neonatologist reported our baby would live but be faced with several major health problems. The Spirit wielded the Word of God deep within Cassy’s spirit, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises up against you in judgment shall be in the wrong.” Isaiah 54:17. My wife said under her breath, “I don’t receive this in the Name of Jesus.” At that moment, the Lord showed us that Sophia’s healing began.

This same day, Cassy’s sister came to visit at the hospital and brought an anointed prayer cloth. The Lord had met her desire for a prayer cloth. By faith, we believed this cloth was a contact point with the power of God. Our faith connected with His power and the supernatural happened. My wife placed the cloth in the pocket of her gown and carried it to Sophia each time she visited. We continued to speak the Word and offer thanksgiving and praise for the manifestation of healing, although we had not yet seen it with our eyes.

After three days, Sophia’s perforated lung healed, she began to eat on her own, and her stats began to improve greatly. Each day another tube, wire or monitor was removed. She began to gain weight and was very alert. The neonatal gist and staff were amazed at her recovery. They called her “Super Baby”, “Miracle Baby” and “Ridiculous”. Her initial diagnosed four week stay was an actual one week stay.

Sophia Joy is now almost 2 ½ years old. There is “nothing missing, nor broken.” She does not have any major health concerns. She has been evaluated and has actually excelled in areas of development. She is full of life and is truly a “joy”. The hospital officials attribute her miraculous healing to God. God is worthy of all our praise! He is no respecter of persons. What He did for us He will do for anyone. He will do it for you! (Acts 10:34) All He asks of you is to believe Him, trust Him and expect from Him. He longs to lavish His goodness and mercy on you. He has already given you everything…He gave you his Son, Jesus.

Unforgiveness or Forgiveness

Unforgiveness or Forgiveness?



Unforgiveness or Forgiveness?
It is our choice, you know.
We hold this power within our hands
to keep or to let go.

Seems so hard, but is it really?
Yes, impossible in our flesh.
But isn’t the Grace of God sufficient
even to meet this test?

It’s not hard; just make the choice.
Receive God’s Grace – Forgive.
After all, we’ve been forgiven
time and time again.

None of us is perfect.
We all fall short and sin.
But God in his great mercy
has taught us to forgive.

It keeps the doors open
and the pathways clear
for the Love of God to reach
around this earthly sphere.

So come, let’s make the choice today
to forgive and set each other free,
to walk in peace and love and joy,
to walk in harmony.
