It's a Faith Walk, Paperback

2016-2nd printing-It's A Faith Walk is a timely and urgent call to awaken the hearts of every Christian to grab God's hand and go forth on a Faith Walk with our Lord, and inspire and encourage fellow Faith Walkers so God's specific purpose predestined for you, to fulfill upon in your lifetime, shall be realized in your lifetime. Bishop George Dallas McKinney It's A Faith Walk is a journey God orchestrated after preparing me enough to get out of the whale Jonah found himself in so I could experience living in awe and wonder each step of the way. Since God started with a card-carrying, pew-warming, protestant denominational gal, there was a lot of preparation which needed to take place God's training prior to being sent did not stop when God orchestrated travel since I was sent 'without an extra coin or tunic' and God arranged personal introductions before I arrived and confirmed plans after I showed up, plus, there was a lot of 'on the job training' and 'filling me as an empty vessel' with exact words precisely when they were needed. Like many who have asked me, I wanted to see the signs, wonders and miracles. I did not realize it was my limited human understanding which was blocking the experience Before the journey, my prayer requests were merely words about what I want God to do. Sad, but I was focused upon exactly what and how I expected God to proceed, to 'get it done and also do it all for me.' I never saw my prayers from God's perspective. As soon as I did, everything I had prayed up to that point sounded lame. Not an easy realization to comprehend. God had to show me that we do not know his word or that his promises are true, so we are not able to begin to comprehend the glorious things God has 'in store for us.' We have a very limited, human view of our life. I pray that changes for God has a God sized view of our life. His plans for us are big. It is painful to hear so many people state the church, the body of Christ, is still in the pre-toddler phase and not walking yet, only hoping to hear a good word on Sunday that will carry the people through the week. I trust this is why God has shown me how much he has planned for us and why we need to operate as bible based and spirit-filled believers. The first time I heard that, I did not know the difference between the churches. Without God's guidance, we lack the ability to comprehend or act on God's plan for our life. I pray you will lean on God's word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit and not on your own understanding. A dear man of God told me he asked God to show him "Who is this woman?" God's vision of me showed how the mouse is to the elephant (body of Christ). I was so persistent, shouting for the elephant to move, but, I was ignored. Plus, during all attempts while I was biting on the back ankles, swinging on the tail and shouting, "Move," even as I ran to the left ear, bit the ear and shouted. But, I would not stop there. I ran to the right ear, bit the ear many times and shouted until the elephant took the first step. God showed him my effort caused the body to move. Encouraged, since I have met with many leaders in the body and I've shared God's deep concerns about the body not being equipped and trained so we can grow to maturity. We are to be wise as serpents. Not to participate with them, merely to know what they are doing. Example: Check with spell check. It only recognizes demonizing or demonized not discipling or discipled. As the body of Christ, we have a lot of work to do God has been clear, we need to be equipped and trained to faith walk as an Ambassador of our Lord Jesus Christ May the words I share based upon all God has shown to me, bless and encourage you to go on a faith walk with God walking in power in authority utilizing your gifts, talents, skills and abilities to bless the people God directs you to. Then, share your testimony with me and all in the world who have ears

Sheila Holm admits she attended church regularly, but she was a pew-warming, card-carrying protestant. She was raised Scandinavian Lutheran. Even though Martin Luther confirmed he was not able to proceed in his own ability, human understanding, logic or strength, only by the guidance of the Holy Spirit: "I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Ghost has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith..." most Lutheran churches and many denomination do not believe in Holy Spirit baptism to this day. It's A Faith Walk! is a brief summary of about seven months of Sheila's journey after she surrendered and walked hand in hand with God, guided by the Holy Spirit each step of the way. God has taken Sheila around the globe, going church to church, business to business, nation to nation. He directs her path to speak life into each situation whether God sends people to her to be re-encouraged or he asks her to pray with a pastor, the church, or someone in a store or a restaurant, etc. He fulfills upon his promises within the scriptures. He has equipped and trained her. Many confirm she walks in the five-fold ministry. She does not use a title because God does the work while He sends her as an apostle and prophet. Sometimes she preaches and teaches, and she always evangelizes. Smith Wigglesworth: "There are two kinds of faith. There is the natural faith. But the supernatural faith is the gift of God." "We become supernatural by the power of God. We find this power working through every part of our being." Sheila walks in the supernatural. She has been sent forth without an extra coin or tunic, as an empty vessel, and God has used her mightily on each assignment. She resisted at first and God used many messengers to remind her of Jonah in the Whale. The journeys are beyond comprehension due to God fulfilling the need in the exact moment required and not one second before. It's a true faith walk being shared, not just the 'fun and good bits' as her friends in London would say. Sheila is a published author: Seven Step Business Plan with Foreword by Ken Blanchard, an Internationally recognized business coach and keynote conference speaker. Refer to page 301, About the Author.
