She has also written children's such as, The Wind Has a Voice and How Did He Get in There, Molly's Journey to Forgiveness, and more. She has written over 34 books to date and began writing poetry as soon as she was saved in June 1998. The Lord gave her, her first book to write right after her son was killed. Writing was not something she sought out. She poured her heart into time spent with the Lord in order to allow Him to heal her heart and the name of her first book was birthed in her spirit along with the chapters and what it was to be about during a devotion time. It was called: God's Love; ironically enough, with all that she was going through, God's love was exactly what she needed. She is passionate about studying the Bible. She has taught Sunday school, and Bible Study Groups, and has been actively serving in her present church, served in the Celebrate Recovery Ministry, and Homeless Outreach. Sandra was also interviewed on radio shows such as Golden Life Living and WMAP Radio (World's Most Amazing People based out of New York), the Bill Martinez show and a Fox Radio show called the Kim Kennedy Show. She is a devoted mother of 2 sons (Tim & Gerald Ray), Gerald Ray the youngest, has gone on to be with the Lord due to a car accident. Through the death of her youngest son at the age of 16, a rocky marriage to an alcoholic and the abuse that came with that, and other overwhelming trials, she has drawn close to the loving arms of the Father. Experiencing God's unconditional love as He held her heart in His hands, has created a passion in her to help others grow in their understanding of and receive God's love and grow spiritually. She has the heart to help hurting women discover the princess in Christ that they truly are and overcome abuse. She teaches on topics to help you reach spiritual maturity, persevere through the hard times, and how to reach your destiny in Christ!

Prologue

Jewels from the Word is a book of Scriptures that are meant to be used to speak and pray over yourself and your loved ones.  In doing so they will bring you the same hope, encouragement, and strength that they have brought me. As a Christian, you will go through many trials as you grow and mature in your Christian walk. Trials are to help strengthen your faith and produce Christ-like character and perseverance.

God created the world with His words, so with His Holy Spirit within us, they are just as powerful when spoken through us.

(Colossians 2:9-10) For in Him, dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

(Romans 5:2-5) "And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.  Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character

and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us."

They are also to sanctify you.

(I Peter 1: 6-9) In this, you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

At conversion, your heart is changed and you are given a new heart; one that is devoted to God. This does not mean that you are now the perfect Christian. You have lived in the world and according to the world for many years before receiving Jesus Christ into your heart. It will take time for God to renew your mind and clean it up; sanctify it.

(John 17:17) Sanctify them by the truth; your Word is truth. This is done through trials and reading the Word of God. (Romans 12:2) Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Whatever you put into your mind daily is what comes out. If you constantly are watching T.V. programs with sex, violence, bad language, and completely ungodly ways; these are the things that will fill your mind and heart, and out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The people around you influence you as well.

(I Corinthians 15:33) Do not be misled; Bad company corrupts good character.

In all of this God has not left us helpless. He left us His Word and the Holy Spirit to guide us and help us through life.

(John 16:13) But when He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.

(Joshua 1:8) Do not let the Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

In the following pages are some Scriptures that are promises from God. If you read these and meditate on them they will be with you in your time of need. God will bring them to your remembrance.

(John 14:26) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

 In order for God to remind you of what He has said to you, His Word, you must read it. He cannot remind you of something that you have never seen or read. And God exalts His Word; what is in His Word is His will, so pray His Word
