Never the Same Again: The Transforming Power of Jesus in My Life

By Reverend Elizabeth Sade Williams

Never the Same Again is written to inspire both Christians and non-Christians alike. The God of the Bible, who moved powerfully in the lives of people of old, both ordinary and notable, and who performed miracles, signs, and wonders is the same God of yesterday, today, and forever. He has not changed and He will never change. He still transforms lives, heals, delivers, blesses, uses, and moves powerfully in the lives of those who believe in Him and serve Him in Spirit and in truth. His children can testify to this.

‘’How great are His signs,

how mighty His wonders!

His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;

His dominion endures from generation to generation’’. (Daniel 4:2–3 NIV}

He responds to those who seek Him daily with their whole hearts, by walking with them, blessing them, using them to bless others and transform lives, and do exploits.

I have very often heard Christians saying, Where are the miracles of old? We don’t see them happen in churches nowadays. The truth is that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has not changed; the God of Joshua, who held up the moon and the sun for a whole day, is still alive. Joshua said, "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the valley of Ajalon, So the sun stood still and the moon stopped’’ (Joshua 10:12B-13A).

The God who listened to Joshua, the God of Elijah, Elisha, and
