In Layman's Terms

By Sandra Stanford

God has given us life in abundance; all we have to do is receive the tremendous gift that he has placed in our midst. This book was written for those who have not come to recognize the different realms that we are able to tap into. this information should better equip you, and get you to the beginning of a road less traveled.
Choosing this straight and narrow path will only enhance your everyday life; it gives you definition and clarity with a direction.

The gospel is defined as good news, with the learning of God's g laws; I hope that you will find this book good news for you. If you adhere to God's will it will only give you a more pleasurable lifestyle.
Knowing that God is the author and finisher, and you have accepted God's gift of salvation, and acknowledged who and what Jesus died for at Calvary, then you are on a road to less confusion, and strife.

God is Jehovah Jireh (Our provider), Jehovah Shalom (The Lord of Peace), Jehovah Nissi ( The Lord of my Banner),Jehovah Elohe Yeshuathi ( The God of my Salvation ), and Jehovah Rophe ( Our Healer). The LORD OUR GOD is called by many names; he is all these things, he is a healer, a way maker, a miracle worker, among many other wonderful things. God has these names and more for what he is to us, but we must accept him and become a member of his family. God is our creator, but we must join his family in salvation, then we become his children and declare him as our Father, which art in heaven; I hope this book has cleared up some things and given you a better understanding on how we can position ourselves in Christ, also position ourselves for salvation by increasing our biblical knowledge and obedience to God.

May God bless and keep you.

FOREWORD

Blessings to those of you who have the opportunity to read this remarkable book.

The writer has certainly given us, in layman’s terms, our path to God and his kingdom. It is raw, reflective, and it is built word by word on absolute truth. She has left nothing out for us to be sure of our salvation. This book speaks hope for all who read it.

Pastor Frances L. McCutcheon

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I want to acknowledge and thank my sister and Christian guide Pastor Frances L. McCutcheon, who has encouraged and believed in me.

I must give my most heartfelt thanks to Apostle Kimberly Daniels, who has been militant and strategically biblical in her teachings while leading me to the unadulterated truth and opening my spiritual eyes, and also making me aware of the powerful weapons God has equipped us with against demonic forces. Before meeting her and hearing her teachings, I was afraid (I’ll explain later in the book) and had no idea of the power God equipped me with.

I also want to thank Mother Scruggs for the love and time she has given me. She has shown and given me the true example of what Christ wants us to demonstrate to others.

All the names mentioned have been a true blessing and a gift from God. You all have been instrumental in giving me love, knowledge, and courage to step forward and declare the Living Gospel.

Also, thanks to my granddaughter Nikkeria Tyson for her hands-on help.

With all my heart, I love and thank you all.

INTRODUCTION

This book is written to bridge the gap between the nonbeliever and the believer, the Christian and the undecided. Our existing worlds are set apart, in works and in words. This may be why it is so hard for the unlearned (worldly) man to believe that there is a greater being and a loving, attending creator, who is still present and is abiding among us through prayer and assignment of angels. There will be no eloquent wording or no elaborate explanations, just the plain truth. As this book may not be the vehicle that bridges you completely into the revelation of God’s kingdom, let’s pray that it will be a seed, if not, the one thing that opens your eyes and reveals to you the kingdom and the glory of God.

God has a master plan, and to deny it means that you will miss out on the wonderful things that He has in store for you. As time passes on, God is revealing more and more of his miracles, signs, and wonderful works. But if your mind and heart are limited to an earthly realm, then you will miss the whole thing. Each day, I see God’s hand at work in everyday life, and I am in awe at how wonderful and generous my Lord, Savior, and King is. Here is a prayer for you that your mind and heart can be elevated to the dimension of God’s glory.

Abba Father, I pray that the Holy Spirit resides in me as I read this book, giving me the wisdom to comprehend and increase my insight. I pray that a revelation will enter into my heart and mind. I pray that salvation will encumber me. I pray that I will join your thriving family of loving and powerful children here on earth. I pray that your miraculous works will be revealed to me. I pray that your love and peace will grow in my heart for my fellowman, and the faith and knowledge that I have over Satan’s power will enhance and grow in me. I pray that my eyes and ears will be open to the truth and revelation of God’s kingdom. I pray that I receive the revelation of the dominion God has given me to conquer the enemy (Satan). I pray to receive the fellowship with God that you have in store for me. I renounce Satan and announce that Jesus Christ sacrificed himself on Calvary for my salvation, and I receive Christ as my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Let the revelation of Christ’s crucifixion rest on you, for it is the realization and pronouncement of this that set you aside and put you in position for salvation. John 8:12 says, When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follow me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life Matthew 7:7–8 also says, Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find; Knock and it shall be opened unto you; For every one that asketh, receiveth, and he that seeketh findest; and to him that knocketh it shall opened. For Christ Jesus is the door to salvation. This is what denotes that he is the only way to salvation. When the statement of asking and
