How Are You Doing? – Michael Edwards

What is your standard answer to our question? I’m okay, fine, good, or? Or do you rehearse and reinforce your troubles with the person and yourself, thus adding to your depression? No matter what your answer is, I have been there, but not today, in my head and out loud, my bold statement is ‘I AM DOING GREAT!’ Here is why:

It stops me from rehearsing my fears, worries and woes, wrong thinking, talking and seeking attention from others to commiserate with me over them.
It defeats self-pity and a martyr complex that only destroys.

It forces me to go to God alone who can really help.
It takes my thoughts captive, renews, strengthens and lifts me out of depression.

It stops compulsive negative thinking that can make my problems seem bigger than God.

Am I being truthful? Absolutely! No matter what is happening in this temporary world, things are great, if I am walking by faith in eternal things and not by sight in the temporal as God has instructed. I am a new creation in Christ, forgiven, holy, righteous, sanctified, a child of God with eternal life. I am a citizen of heaven, a coheir with Christ, greatly loved and highly favored and headed for a great inheritance. Believing and boldly stating ‘I AM DOING GREAT’ no matter what is happening in this fallen world, forces me to focus on the absolute truth we all have in Christ and be thankful.

If you start telling yourself and others boldly, I AM DOING GREAT, they will notice and ask questions? It will lift your spirit and attract people instead of repelling them. Then you can easily share Jesus and eternal things.

If you need prayer, then seek it from a trusted confidant. But do not rehearse woes in your head, or with multiple people. Just a simple request for prayer as you voice confidence that God is in control.

Words and thoughts have incredible power. We must stop rehearsing and reinforcing our worries, fears and woes no matter what we face. We must heed God’s advice and focus on the eternal truth we have in Christ to walk in His power, freedom and victory in this life too.

Change your life, renew your mind in 30 days and feel the difference. I AM DOING GREAT! How are you?

FREE E-BOOK and Inexpensive Print Copies

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend, family member or inmate (free e-book or $3.66 print copy). Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campuses and online in several languages. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Maybe you know someone in prison or just a lost soul that you love who needs to trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior or needs to have their faith encouraged? You can ship single paperback copies directly from Amazon for $3.66 each to an inmate or anyone. For inmates, you just need their facility name, address, inmates name and id number. Most prisons and jails will accept packages directly from places like Amazon. If you are a member of Amazon prime it would ship for free. Just add the person's shipping address when you check out and it goes directly to them. If you try to send it from a personal address, it will be rejected. 

GO HERE to order your copy of Gravity to be sent to your lost friend or family member who is (incarcerated or not) and needs Jesus. Offer them the gift of eternal life in Christ for $3.66. What a great investment.

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
