Jesus had many ways of intentionally expressing the love of His Father to people around Him. 

Below are 4 ways to share your faith so you can develop a lifestyle of witnessing.  In our conference we discuss a total of seven expressions, but for brevity in this blog we will limit it to 4.  As you read through them, remain open to incorporating each of these expressions into your life.

1. Prayer (praying for people with obvious needs) 
2. Conversation (bringing Jesus into a conversation or asking leading questions)
3.  Story (sharing a personal testimony/your story of salvation for instance)
4.  Compassion (finding a need and meeting it while expressing Christ’s love)

In our next few blogs we will examine each one of these in more detail and how they can be woven into your daily routine.  For now, please leave a reply answering the following question:

Which of the above avenues would you feel most comfortable using, or have used, as a tool for witnessing?

Over the next several months we will be sharing excerpts from Don and Vicki’s book, Where Heaven Meets Earth.  Don and Vicki use the materials in this book for teaching a prayer conference which has inspired many people to pursue a deeper and more meaningful relationship with the Lord in prayer

In our first series of prayer blogs we will be talking a great deal about The Power of Prayer.  But first it’s important to address some of the reasons why people do not pray which are as follows:

1.  They think it will not change things: Within the contents of this blog it is our desire to bring about a change in this mindset through teaching about The Power of Prayer.

2.  They have never set a time and a place to pray: To overcome this, set a time before you continue.  It may change, but consider this goal as your starting point.

3.  They have experienced unanswered prayer in the past: It’s important not to focus on what you feel God hasn’t done.  Focus on the times you have received answers to your own prayer, or have head of others receiving an answer to their prayers.

4. They lack a Biblical understanding concerning prayer: In addition to our series on The Power of Prayer we will address your role in prayer and God’s design for you as His representative here on Earth.

 5.  They don’t know where to begin: Lastly, we will then learn principles from scripture that will guide you in your prayer time.

The post 5 Things that Can Keep You from Spending Time in Prayer appeared first on Twiford Ministries.

“What we eat should be so good for us that it actually heals and restores our bodies.” (Toxic Relief by Don Colbert, M.D.  (Recommended by Rev. John Hagee, Pastor, Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas)

“Diet remains the single most influential factor in overall human health.” (The Maker’s Diet by Jordan S. Rubin N.M.D., Ph.D.; Joseph Brasco, M.D. 32. – Recommended by Dr. Charles F. Stanley, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, Founder and President, In Touch Ministries)

In our travels as evangelists, Don and I have seen people miraculously healed by the power of God.  Then we came in contact with pastors and their wives from four different states who had experienced physical healing through changing their eating habits.

I suffered from miserable allergies all my life.  I had tried nearly every allergy medication on the market and was taking aspirin nearly every other day for body aches and pains.  I was skeptical about what I heard, but decided to purchase some books written by Christian doctors and do my own research.

I also read stories of people who had been healed of diseases such as diverticulitis, arthritis, cancer, and heart disease by following the nutritional guidelines of these doctors.  So I decided to try their recommendations.  The allergies have totally disappeared, I no longer have joint pains, and I feel renewed energy.  Don is now able to manage acid reflux and both of us have lost weight.

We became convinced that, in addition to believing in the miracle working power of God, we need to take personal responsibility for our health. And as people began to ask me what I had done, I put my notes into my own words and compiled them into a 68 page notebook for teaching a seminar on what I had learned.

Seminar Contents:

The 68 page notebook used for teaching the seminar includes an easy to follow plan for improving eating habits along with easy to read charts:

• How Poor Eating Habits Can Lead to Disease
• Divine Health and Healing in Everyday Foods
• The Power of Antioxidants
• Cooking with Herbs and Spices
• Health Benefits of Essential Oils
• Cooking Healthy Made Easy
• A Seven Day Menu Plan with Recipes and a Shopping Guide.

Comments From Gracious Hosts:

What  a joy to hear Vicki share her testimony and life decisions concerning health and eating wisely.  Her approach was simple, faith-building, and easy for others to  understand and engage as new habits in their life.  Her love for Christ, for others, and for the body of Christ to live well is very evident.  She is a good communicator and handles her audience with clarity and purpose.  Your groups will enjoy this time of teaching and be encouraged to live healthy so the gospel and glory of Christ will be revealed in their lives.

(Rev. Joy Headley, Family Pastor, Gospel Lighthouse Church, Dallas, Texas)

 I began a journey of weight loss several years ago without an understanding of food and its importance for a healthy body.  After attending the Health Seminar with Vicki, food became my friend instead of my enemy.  This has changed EVERYTHING for me.  I now embrace God’s plan for me and my family to be healthy and happy. Vicki presents her case for living life to its fullest through diet in a very practical, upbeat, easy to understand manner.  The women of our church were inspired by sitting under Vicki’s teaching, and are on the path to leading their families into wholeness: body, soul and spirit.
