Complete with questions, you can read this book individually or within a group. It’s time to hear the biblical answers. It’s time to get close to God.

Do you understand who the Trinity is?
Do you know and understand the expectations God has for you?
Do you want to enrich your life with a pursuit of prayer?

The harder you try to be in control of your investments, your life, the harder you make things. Why? God will have the ultimate return His way. Hear, see, and do invest in your future for here and hereafter. It’s time to listen and let God speak to you. It’s time to invest toward your eternity!

“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17 KJV).

Invest in your eternity!
Invest your life with God!

From the author of the autobiography, Unraveled, Time to Tell

To you, the reader, I wish you this prayer:

God, my God, hear my prayer. Be with me, guide me, and forgive me. I’m a person unworthy of Your love. I hurt the ones I love the most and cater to the ones I love the least. I want to be Yours! I believe Jesus is Your Son, who came to this earth and died on a shameful cross, but made that a cross a day of victory and eternal blessing for me and any who gives his life to you for You. Thank You, Jesus! Thank You, God! And thank You for the gift of Your Spirit! Amen!

If you prayed this in your heart, you are now prepared to experience a deeper knowledge of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. You have also prepared your heart for a deeper understanding of sin and a deeper guidance through prayer.

Introduction

Do you ever need guidance and understanding in grasping your everyday situations? When life is hard, the need arouses for guidance, specifically of a supernatural kind. We need to realize we’re not searching for answers but seeking the answer that is already there.

Unraveled, Time to Hear gives us the knowledge and guidance from this supernatural one with the answers we seek. It takes faith—our faith—to a deeper understanding. Also included in this book are questions with room to answer for your own eye-opening, heart-awakening conclusions. It is a freestanding guide but correlates with my autobiography, Unraveled, Time to Tell, which gives insight into my learned knowledge from God about each subject in this book.

You do not have to read Unraveled, Time to Tell (UTTT) first to understand this book. Chapters from UTTT will be listed at the end in case you do want to further your knowledge of God’s Word in the hard situations that we go through. You can reference my autobiography or use it as a backup tool if you want or even use it later.

So much of these sections in Unraveled, Time to Hear will be subjects you already know or have already heard. It will test you in your knowledge of God and His Word. It is meant to review and refresh as well as to learn and apply.

Why test our knowledge? If we, as believers, already know the correct behaviors, then why aren’t we acting as believers? And if you think we are, look at our world, its crises, and its views. This guide, if used as a study, can be completed in up to three months depending on how many chapters you want to do in a week. You may also read it on your own at your own pace. It includes questions to contemplate and answer and may be discussed within a group.

Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called (1 Timothy 6:12 NASB). But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33 KJV).

You may ask, From where do you get your authority to write this book? Who are you to write this? What is your credibility?

My authority, credibility, knowledge, and guidance come from God, along with His Word, my belief in Jesus in my heart, and the Holy Spirit interceding for me with the words given. It may be hard to understand how someone could receive great joy and blessing from sharing about great tragedy and hardship. Our God is amazing, and through Him I do this:

And the Spirit said to Philip, Go over and join this chariot. So Philip ran to him and heard him
