My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
'I’ve only been living here for 19 months. During that time my husband has had two operations and pancreatic cancer. He’s doing very well. But it’s been quite a time for me. I’m only now starting to meet people.
What sustained me when I came here was the Magnificat [Luke 1.46-55]. It makes me reflect on what the Lord has done for me. It’s always been my mainstay.
Now, it encourages me because I believe that God wants me to bring a change firstly to the family and then to the island of Jersey as a whole. I don’t know how that will happen, but I feel that the Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
I have started praying with two other women before church, and I have started a Bible study group once a month.
When I lived in Zimbabwe, I was involved in Alpha and did lots of Alpha courses. We had just started working in prisons. The Spirit of the Lord flowed out through me then. But now it’s sitting in me dying to go out, dying to find the blind, the deaf and the brokenhearted. I’m like a pregnant woman, dying to explode.'
