Marie Monsen describes the power of prayer. She points out the importancy of really believing the word of God: what He says is the truth. And that faith comes by hearing,so to speak out God's promises builds up our faith.
I was picking blueberries in the forest. I had no insect poison with me. But when I reached the forest I very quickly realized the mosquitos were there to hunt my blood. I got disappointed and thought I'd have to give up. But then I remembered Marie Monsen! So I asked God if there's a verse fitting my situation now. The only thought that came up was "The plagues of Egypt don't belong to God's children". I thought: "This is not a direct verse from the Bible", but then I admitted,this same thought is there,in Exodus. So I started speaking it out, even made a song about it and continued. A mosquito would land on my hand and I could just blow it away. Finally the wind came to my help! When finished,not a single insect had eaten me,praise God! At home I found Ex. 8:17-19.
@sarikorpi wow! I love the Lord!!! He is our everything!!!
@MaryMamuzich Amen! He certainly is! ❤
Without Him we can do nothing!
@sarikorpi I do like her book with little things that happened to her like with the pirates. I've given this book to many friends needing encouragement in their faith. I read it over and over
@sarikorpi, I love this! Such trusting faith in the pure, fatherly nature of our God!
A correction to my previous post, the scripture I was referring to is in King James in a different place than in my Finnish Bible: it's Exodus 8: 20-23:
And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies , and also the ground whereon they are .
22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
