Introduction- How Does Faith Begin? From the time we are little, we learn to put our trust in our parents to guide us, our teachers to help us to learn, and if we live in a Christian household, our parents teach us to put our trust in God. But what if we don’t come from a Christian background, or we are a little older when we start to learn about what faith & trust in God is? That is ok, because everyone’s backstory is different, and our perception of what faith looks like starts at different points in time in our lives. My hope for you is that, as time goes by, your faith and trust in God will grow along with your relationship with Him. As we meet different people from different walks of life, we learn faith has many levels to it, and people can put their faith in many things, but for those of us who are believers, we know that above everything and everybody else, our faith in God should be first. When it is, it is amazing to see the beauty that He graces His children with, and the testimony that He allows them to share with others when they have believed His words, and trusted that He would keep His promise to them. Displaying your faith for others to see, sharing God’s love for them, encouraging them to grow in, or start their walk with God, is what we are called to do. That is “the why” we are here on earth. Learning, and then sharing with others about God’s love, then helping them to know more about Him, while sharing that He has a special purpose for everyone. An example of faith is “action,” and sometimes that action requires you to move when He shares with you audibly, and clearly, to prepare a testimony in advance about how He is going to heal you before He does it. That is what this book is about. I guess that would be sharing faith before the action. Hebrews 11:1- “Now faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” That is the core mission of this book. It is also my story of how my faith in God has grown over time, how He has told me at different points in time, things that would happen, then did, and how He also told me seven years ago (in 2016), that He would heal me of my seizures. At first, I wasn’t sure about that, but then I remembered something else He told me 16 years ago, “That my mind would remain intact.” The second part of this was in 2007, and I will tell you more about that pivotal time later. I’m sure as some of you are reading this, you’re probably thinking, yeah right! Did God really tell you that? Do you really believe God spoke to you? Well, yes. He does have ways of speaking to all of us, and a few of my friends have also heard Him speaking to them, too. That’s why I’m writing this book. To hopefully help you grow your faith in God, and maybe if you do, you might experience the voice of God calling out sometime in your life as well. Our Pastor, Dr. Ike Reighard (a.k.a. “Pastor Ike”), sometimes says, “There is a premise for every promise.” So, this book is a premise for the promise that God has given to me and will come to fruition whenever God wills it to happen. Isaiah 38:7 says, “This is the Lord’s sign to you that the Lord will do what He has promised.” and I promise you, this scripture, which is His Word, is true. This book is also my thank-you letter to God for His everlasting love, as well as a testimony to share with you about how real He really is. How He is a miraculously loving, healing, Heavenly Father available to everyone if they are willing to trust and believe in Him. Another cool, and unique thing about God, is that He is with every one of us at the same time! His Omnipresence is something I’ve pondered and marveled over many times in my life. His ability to be everywhere and see and hear everyone all at the same time is absolutely amazing to me. I am grateful to God, humbled and honored, to have the opportunity to share my testimony with you, about Him, in this unique way. I never, ever thought this would be a way I would share my faith with others, but I think it’s pretty cool and I am truly thankful God is allowing me the ability to do so, so here we go.

About the Book
Kathy Puder shares some of the incredible ways she has experienced God's presence through events in nature, and in life, in this book.
A few times, she has audibly heard God calling out to her to give her guidance, assurance, and direction during some very difficult times. It was during one of those moments that she heard God share His promise of healing her. In this book, she will share a little about that time, and His promise, before the miracle happens.
She also reveals encounters a few of her friends have also had, in which they audibly heard a promise from God and the miracles that followed for them, or their loved ones, who God had healed.
Throughout this book, the author emphasizes that when we put faith first, it is amazing to see the beauty that He graces us with. When we display our faith for others to see, are sharing God's love with others, and are encouraging others to grow in, or start their walk with God, we will be fulfilling our mission as children of God.
