Believe

I HAVE A STRONG, POSITIVE FAITH IN GOD, and I ACT ON THIS FAITH TODAY.

The most revealing evidence of what we actually believe is what we act upon. We often profess to have faith in God, but in times of need find that we only go to God as a last resort.

When outer circumstances and events do not conform to our way of thinking and believing, do we attempt to force these conditions into our desired pattern? Or do we acknowledge that maybe our own consciousness has brought these events about? How we answer that question will determine what we actually believe.

Do you believe in God’s love and ability to make all things good? Do you have faith that prayer is the most effective means of changing conditions in your life? In crisis do you turn to God or do you go back to your human way of fear and worry? Develop a strong, positive faith in God that you know you can and will act upon.

As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
