Take Believing Action

My Joy and Peace in Believing

The unique way in which I was taught God’s Word in The Way Ministry brought great rewards to my life. Through classes, publications, fellowship, Sunday Teaching Services, and more, I have learned how to apply the Word and get positive results.

One hot summer day while driving home from shopping, my car temperature gauge indicated the car was overheating and traffic had come to a snail’s pace on the expressway. My thoughts went to…

II Timothy 1:7:
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

…as I spoke in tongues much. The ministry has taught me how to have joy and peace in believing while applying God’s Word to situations of life. I took believing action. I called my husband and we believed together that I would get safely to the next nearest exit to get my car to the repair shop. The result ended in my having an Ephesians 3:20 experience.

Ephesians 3:20:
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

I got a rental car that was brand new, and the repair shop (a dealership) paid for the entire time that I would need the rental.

I Will Not Quit!

The Way Ministry has taught me God’s Word as I never heard it before. With a knowledge of God’s Word, I have learned to put God first in my life and let go of doubt, worry, and fear.

I know and believe I am worthy of God’s love, and I am daily growing in my confidence toward Him. I have overcome emotions that have held me back for too long. I suffered because I allowed my emotions to direct and dictate my life. I wasted too much time on worry, regret, fear, and shame. As I go to God’s Word, I gain wisdom and understanding. I have been freed from chains of the past wrapped around my mind. I have learned to continue to see God’s goodness as I trust what His Word says.

I am determined to claim God’s promises that will meet my need(s) today.

I believe God’s Word to overcome any challenges that come up today.

I continue to take believing actions, walking with confidence, stepping fearlessly, and keeping myself resolved to stay in the Word. I will not quit!

I love being around faithful and believing people. They are like a warm blanket to me.

Junior Way Ambassadors Know Prayer Works

One day while we Way Ambassadors were witnessing in another city, the sky began to darken and drizzle, we all ran for cover under a roof, and it began to rain very hard.

We decided that the weather wasn’t going to take away our joy, and started singing several hymns from the songbook while we waited under the roof. During that time a lady who was with her daughters in the same place, also waiting for the rain to stop, asked us who we were. We shared with her who we were and what we were doing.

As we chatted with her, my seven-year-old son said, “Why don’t we pray? Prayer has power!” Right there we all held hands and prayed in the name of Jesus Christ that the rain would stop, and at the end of the prayer, it literally stopped raining. The Junior Way Ambassador shouted, “Prayer works!” This incident had an impact on everyone, especially on the lady and her daughters. And it strengthened in our hearts what we are as ambassadors and how God manifests Himself so powerfully in our lives.

I Understand God’s Heart for Me

When I was first introduced to The Way Ministry, I heard about a program called Total Fitness Institute or TFI. I did not know very much about the program but knew it was something The Ways Corps at the time participated in. I was very interested in the program, but this program was eventually replaced by the LEAD program. LEAD stands for Leadership, Education, Adventure, and Direction. In the depths of my soul I wanted to be involved in the LEAD outdoor academy.

Psalm 37:4:
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

When assignments were given out for my third year in The Way Corps training, I was given the opportunity to be on LEAD staff. What an incredible adventure with God! I determined in my heart to practice the presence of God, listen and learn all I could, and to do exactly what I was asked to do. I had never been camping in my life, and there was so much I did not know.

My first LEAD challenge was to take my turn driving the equipment truck, which we called Moses because that truck always led the way when we traveled. We drove from New Knoxville, Ohio, to Tinnie, New Mexico. The equipment truck had a standard transmission. (When I was younger and getting my driver’s license, my brother taught me on a standard transmission vehicle but not a huge truck!) I could not reach the gas and brake pedals, so we put a pillow from the RV behind my back and off we went. That was definitely interesting. I spoke in tongues and focused on knowing, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).

On one of our training days, the director of LEAD was teaching me how to rappel and set up a rappelling station for when the students came for a session. To rappel is to descend from a height, such as a cliff or a wall, sliding down a double-anchored rope and applying friction to control your speed. After I was all hooked into the ropes and safety harness, he told me to stand on the edge and lean back as far as I could. I remember thinking, OK God, here we go! I brought to mind Joshua 1:9, “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” I leaned back as far as I could. He said to lean back even farther, so I did. Then he said to take a step off the edge. I took one step and promptly fell. The rope caught me and I got my climbing boots back on the wall.

When I fell, I knocked a large piece of rock off the face of the wall and onto a small shelf facing me. At the time, I did not know enough to push the rock off the wall. I continued down the rock face, enjoying every step I took. Then the rope I was hanging on swung about three feet to the right. I wondered why the director had moved the rope. Then swoosh! The piece of rock I had knocked off the face onto the shelf came flying by, right where I had been seconds before. I could hardly believe it. I continued on my rappel and was very thankful I had not been hit by that flying rock.

That evening the LEAD staff were all sitting around a campfire discussing the day, and I asked the director how he knew to move the rope. He looked at me and said, “I didn’t touch that rope. Do you know how difficult it is to move a rope with a person hanging on it?” At that moment I realized it was God, my heavenly Father, Who was taking care of me. He had moved the rope!

Psalm 46:1,2:
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.

Every day at LEAD we had challenges, and we met them individually and together. I had the occasion to minister healing to someone who had a branch from a tree poke into his eye while we were hiking. The healing was immediate! I saw God’s hand of grace and mercy in everything we did. We taught the Word to each other daily, and encouraged each person to a more worthy endeavor, believing God in familiar and unfamiliar situations to develop an “I can do” attitude.

I know that my life would never have been as victorious and joyful if it had not been for this ministry. I understand God’s heart for me and the great strength I have to live each day because of the true Word of God I know.

Way Ambassadors Put God First—He Provides Their Need

As Ambassadors of the Way in our country, we saw God working mightily so that things would work for our good, as Romans 8:28 says.

It was a normal day, and we were going out to teach the Word. I remember that on that day we walked a lot. It was the beginning of the Way Ambassador program and we were looking for new people who were thirsty and hungry for the Word. We walked down several streets of our neighborhood with the intention of proclaiming God’s Word and introducing ourselves. But when we crossed one street to get to the next one, we passed by a market stall, or stand, where they sold clothes. There was a young man who called out to us saying, “I want you to teach me the Word.” Wow! My witnessing partner and I were amazed and perplexed. We wondered how the young man knew we were teaching God’s Word. We didn’t have anything written on our foreheads to show that we were teaching the Word, we were dressed normally, we didn’t have Bibles in our hands, but we realized that something had happened at that moment, which to the physical eye was difficult to explain. Then he invited us to come closer, gave us seats, and even offered us something to eat. With this we realized that it was God providing for our need, because we really needed to rest, and it was opportune for us to take advantage of the time and talk about the Word with him. It was too good!

A similar situation happened with a young woman that we were following up with. In the second contact we had with her, she prepared something for us to eat, and it was just on a day when we left the house without eating anything, but God once again showed us that when we put Him and His Word first, the rest of the things are added to us (Matthew 6:33). The example we have is of the apostles who, when they went to preach the Word, were instructed by Jesus not to take extra things, only the essentials, because everything they needed they found wherever they went to preach the Word (Mark 6:8 and Luke 10:1-8).

We Saw God’s Power Go to Work for Us Quickly!

It was a day we were all looking forward to. Our plans were set to go out as a family and enjoy some activities together with the grandparents my children only saw at the most twice a year. The days and weeks previous had been full of life’s preparations and work. This was to be a day of fun!

When our youngest son woke up that morning, he did not look like his rosy-cheeked self, nor did he act like his energetic and lively self. On the contrary, he had no color to his skin or lips and he didn’t smile or talk. It was clear that he wasn’t feeling well. We picked him up and held him and prayed. As the first hour of his morning passed, we saw no improvement to his skin color or behavior. Then I had the thought to read from Egermeier’s Bible Story Book. I didn’t know exactly what to read, but I knew it would be a record with our living lord and savior Jesus Christ in it. God helped me turn to the exact record He knew would communicate to our little boy’s believing heart. While our son was tenderly being held in the arms of his earthly father, our heavenly Father was turning the situation around for us. This is what I read:

Jesus and the four fishermen left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon and Andrew. There they learned that Simon’s mother-in-law was sick with a fever. They brought Jesus to her. Taking hold of her hand, he lifted her up. The fever left at once. She got up and helped get the meal.

That was the only little section that I read. After I was done reading, I told my husband that I’d like to see our son’s appetite return by the end of the day. He responded by saying he’d like to see his appetite return by noon. Within minutes of us saying those words, our son sat up and requested some peach yogurt! While he was eating, his color returned. And when he was done eating yogurt, he requested a bowl of cereal. And when he was done eating that, he said that he would like to help make lunch. And he enjoyed serving, and then eating that! For the rest of that day it was as if he had never felt bad at all. We saw God’s power go to work for us quickly!

From the beginning of this challenge, we chose not to focus on the problem or the letdown of our plans being changed. My husband and I have become Word conditioned and not circumstance controlled. We have become this way because of the many years we have faithfully and freely availed ourselves to Way ministry fellowship meetings for spiritual nurture and growth. We didn’t need to take hours or even minutes to build up our believing for healing. We had already built that truth into our hearts from experiencing God’s healing power in times previous.

From the rightly divided Word taught in this ministry, I know how to believe rightly. “Right believing is constantly knowing God’s power and presence are in you and with you in every situation!” My right believing enabled God’s peace to rule in my heart the entire time we were handling this health challenge for our son. That left no room for doubts or fears to get into this situation. Our young son was miraculously healed! Our family saw God’s mighty power at work. As a family we are doing the works of Jesus Christ and greater, and we learned how to do this from God’s Word being held forth at Way ministry fellowships.

My Story of Deliverance as a Way Ambassador

It was very challenging for me to accept the call of this great avenue of outreach, Way Ambassador, because I thought of the numerous daily tasks and responsibilities I would have. At first it seemed impossible to keep up with the program, but remembering the truth “For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37) gave me the strength to continue with greater strength and energy while I saw things harmonize in my life.

Participating in this service of love strengthened me to manifest God’s power and to do the works that Jesus Christ did and even greater, including leading more people to the new birth and helping them manifest the gift of holy spirit.

For me, this program represents the love of God, because I met different people with different perceptions and understanding of God’s Word. With the love of God, I was able to direct them to the true and right doctrine in the Word.

One of the great realities I also experienced was having my needs met, because God took care of everything I needed. My trust in God increased every day through established discipline, prayer, and daily Scripture study. Through it all, I removed fear, restlessness, and doubt, and became more dynamic and consistent for God in the spiritual competition.

Reaching out to others with the truth gave me joy, as I saw new people turn from darkness to light and have access to live a more abundant life.

What great moments I will have to share and tell my whole life until the return of Christ, my story of deliverance as an Ambassador of the Way!

I Cannot Out Give My Heavenly Father

I have been a part of The Way International for my entire life. I am immensely thankful to have been raised with an understanding of God’s Word, to have godly answers to my questions, and to have a solid foundation from which to build my life. One aspect of God’s Word that I have been taught and have proven is that God is my sufficiency.

When I graduated from college, I decided to commit to serving in our ministry’s outreach program. In the months between graduation and the beginning of the program, I saw God’s blessings on my life by way of others in our ministry. Whether it was the believer who employed and trained me in his profession, another believer who let me move in for a few months and then decided not to charge me any rent, or the many believers who helped me in little ways and made those months sweet, I was struck by how abundant God’s care was for me through the household of The Way. I made a decision that I was going to do my best before I left to give back to these wonderful people.

I had heard many times the phrase “you cannot out give God,” and I had learned God’s Word on the subject of prosperity. Matthew 6, especially verse 33 and II Corinthians 9:6-8 were sections of scripture that I had been taught through The Way Ministry. I decided to put them to the test, so I gave, I increased my abundant sharing and I spent time, thought, and resources to give back as big as I could imagine. I tried to bless those believers who had given to me by providing for them what they would not have done for themselves. It was a blessing just to see their reactions, their joy.

Then, at the end of the summer, as I got ready to start my new adventure in the outreach program, I also found that I had failed. I had set out to out give God, to increase my giving and go above and beyond. However, by the time I left, I had received back financially more than I had spent, and I could not have given out more love and support than I received in those few months.

Whenever I face a financial challenge, the possibility that I won’t have enough time or resources to do what needs to be done, I hold on to those few months, and remind myself that I’ve proven the Word that I’ve been taught. I learned in The Way Ministry that God is my sufficiency and that I cannot out give my heavenly Father. What has God done for me because I learned these truths? He’s shown me the joy in giving, the abundance found through service, and the godly sufficiency that goes deeper than money or things, that reaches to physical, mental, and spiritual wholeness. I cannot out give my heavenly Father, but I live a superabundant life as I try.

Way Ambassadors Manifest Peace

One day while another Way Ambassador and I were working, we came to a believer’s business. At the time, the believer was not there, but her eighteen-year-old son was. (The believer had invited her son to our home fellowship on several occasions, but he told her he wasn’t coming.) We greeted him and spent some time with him.

The young man told his mother about us and asked her who we were. She told him that we were the Way Ambassadors with whom she attends home fellowship. At that moment, the young man decided to go to fellowship because he wanted to learn more about God as a result of what we shared with him.

When we saw him again, I asked him what motivated him to go to fellowship, and he replied: “The peace that you manifested toward me. Before you arrived, I was feeling sick, my head was hurting, and I was starting to have an anxiety attack. When that happens to me I feel like I can’t breathe. But when I got up and shook your hands, everything went away. I didn’t feel any discomfort anymore.”

From that moment on, this family regularly attends home fellowship and visits us at our home to continue learning from the Word of God.

I Made the Choice to Be a Lifetime Student of God’s Word

I had a nice job right out of college and I was better than average among my peers, but I was far from indispensable.

Shortly after taking The Way Ministry’s Foundational Class, I was standing among a group of technical experts and all of them were shying away from an ongoing problem that was considered impossible to fix. I offered to look at the problem, and I was even willing initially to work on the issue on my own time in the evening. My offer was met with most of the people either giving me smirks or shaking their heads as if I did not know what I was getting into. Besides, I was the least-experienced person in the room.

With my newly acquired superconqueror attitude from the class, I was unfazed.

I was inspired to utilize the three ways God’s Word interprets itself to attempt to resolve this long-standing problem. The Way Ministry taught me that the Bible interprets itself right where it is written, in its context, or where it has been used before.

From that perspective, I approached the problem with:

  • Do I really understand what is happening right where the problem seems to occur or where the main logic is written?
  • Am I assuming something that the context tells me otherwise?
  • Do I know everywhere the problem values have been used before?
  • Are variables being redefined or are supposed constants used differently elsewhere?
  • Is the logic in harmony throughout, or is there logic one place that contradicts the logic in another instance?

I found that exact scenarios, that should be handled in a single routine, were handled multiple places and in slightly different ways. Inconsistencies made the logic very difficult for most people to follow, but God inspired me to diagram everything out in new ways. In about two weeks’ time, I resolved a major problem that troubled this Fortune 100 company for several years.

In multiple large cities on both sides of the United States, I became known as the person who can fix issues that everyone else has given up on. With the peace of God in my heart and the logic of the Word in my mind, I approach unsolvable problems with an “I Can Do” attitude.

I made the choice to be a lifetime student of God’s Word in this ministry. I can keep growing in my application of God’s Word and learn to live God’s Word even better throughout my entire life. Even though decades have passed since I first took the Foundational Class, my strength is renewed like the eagles’, and I still love the challenge of the seemingly unsolvable task!

Isaiah 40:30,31:
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Way Ambassadors Continue to Grow

I was a TikToker. I abandoned TikTok to do this great service of love, the Way Ambassador program. In fact, it changed my life for the better. Walking in the steps of Jesus Christ is the true way of life for every born-again believer filled with the spirit of God who desires to manifest the power from above in the world of the five senses.

I was a person of little patience, and I was easily irritated, but during the Way Ambassador program, all this disappeared. Today I am a transformed person who manifests fruit of the spirit. Before, people loved me for the contents I posted on the internet, today almost the same followers do not care about my virtual disclosures about the Word of God. I have become a great fisher of men with joy to continue to grow in the family of God.

For years I suffered from asthma, a chronic lung disease, but since I focused totally on serving and winning souls for our heavenly Father, it has not manifested itself in my life, and will be like this forever, I believe. Also, God saved me from a serious accident on the public road, the tire of a car hit my left leg, but nothing happened, no wounds, no injuries. The mighty hand of God is always with me.

I have lived the love of God and the manifestation of His power in an extraordinary way, and God, by my hands, has done extraordinary wonders. This is my story of liberation as an Ambassador of the Way.
