Name it, Claim itWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Continued from page 1
Once we've heard from God, then we can claim it, in full assurance that God will bring it to pass. Our faith is not to be placed in our ability to have faith, to believe it enough, to command loudly enough. Our faith is to be in our God, who promised, who would never break His word; who will love us beyond what we have yet imagined. Our stand is not based upon who we are, but who God is. "The counsel of Lord standeth for ever, thoughts of his heart to all generations." Psalm 33:11 He names it. Then, you claim it. © by Joyce C.

| | Hair of WomenWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Continued from page 1
On rare occasion, God allows me to see a small glimpse of His glory rising in people who've been blessed through my ministries. And, my heart glows to see such beauty, a bit of God blossoming in each one of them. However, only God can count number of hairs ~ number of times that seed has been multiplied. These are conclusions God led me to, giving me much peace. But, if literal hair is, in any way, a testimony for which we can minister to those who believe as tradition, let God be glorified. "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be hidden man of heart, in that which is not corruptible, even ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in sight of God of great price." 1 Peter 3:3-4 © by Joyce C.
