Women's conference 2012

Change the way you walk.Preach Preacher!

Praise the Lord Bro. Sims. How are this Morning?

Bro. Sims. What pastor was saying was if you have been doing things a certain way do them different-ly if you want to get different results. Your physi-cal legs was not what he was talking about.

Oh no wonder why no one else is walking differ-ent. Maybe I need to start reading the bible even after I hear the preacher on Sundays.

Well last week Pastor said you've gotta change the way you walk. If you keep walking the same way you will get the same results. I want to experi-ence change in my life.

I'm fine. I sure do Love the Lord! He's been good to me.

Is everything ok with your legs?

Why did you buy that? Your legs are perfectly fine.

Yeh, I got this handy walker from the street sale.

sometime in your life.”That means you stood up for something,

COVER STORYCOVER STORY

How did you begin the faith fortune teaching? One of the things you will notice is that there are alot of things the body is doing to recieve the promises of God. There is a promise of prosperity. Though we fight it is a reality. The bible says as it is in heaven so should it be on earth. God has promised to meet each one of our needs. After praying about it I began to teach on this series, "Faith & Fortune," where the body begins to now prosper that we may obtain the covenant of wealth and fulfil the will of God in our lives. Faith is the key element to

obtaining our wealth that makes us different from the world. Just as the world trusts in finances we trust in God with our faith. So, that's where our faith should come from.

Are we supposed to use our fortune to push the kingdom agenda and not our own? Certainly. Prosperity is a promise of God that we can use to fulfill every need man can have on earth.

When you receive God into your life he causes you to look different. I’m not speaking of just the physical aspect of who you are but how you view things. God will cause your perspective of life to change. God showed me how he would use my many years of pain for ministry and if I had stayed in the depressed state that I was in, I would not be able to minister to you today.

We’ve got to learn to see our purpose behind the pain instead of holding on to unforgiveness and becoming bitter. God is able to make a bitter person a better person and I am a witness to this fact. God saved me when I was 16 years old. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and needed a serious change to happen or I would have attempted to commit suicide for the fourth time and would have succeeded.

I was molested for three years straight and it totally changed the scope of my life. I found myself feeling so different in school. I felt as if I were all alone with no one to talk to. My molester threatened me and told me he would kill me if I told someone what he was doing, so it immediately made me very fearful.

I felt like everyone was staring at me in class, talking about how dirty I was for allowing this man to touch me. They didn’t know what was going on but from my point of view I thought they knew everything. I became very isolated within my own skin. I felt like I couldn’t trust anyone and that all the boys around me wanted to do the same thing. This man who did this to me for three years lived in our home as a boyfriend to my mom. He told my aunts’ boyfriends and they tried to touch me as well.

I have learned over the past 12 years that God can save anyone. I was a mother at the age of 14, molested for three years, tried to attempt suicide three times and was abducted and raped when my daughter was only six months. If God saved me, surely he can save you.

You were created with purpose and destiny. I want to tell you from experience that God can make whole what was torn apart. Some people who have experienced brokenness at least once in their lifetime sometimes feel there is no hope. I want to tell you there is hope for you. Thousand and thousands of young ladies are raped every hour, molested every minute and attempt suicide every second.

God is so incredibly awesome and amazing that only he can make all things new. I searched all over and I could not find anyone like God. I searched in drugs, alcohol and men and I sunk into a deep depression. I thought the world was empty of good people because of how I viewed myself.

You were fearfully and wonderfully made.

Create in me a clean heart and renew the right spirit

within me.

The Controversial

Influenza Vaccine

Yes, it is a

correct guess to say we are now into the

Fall season, but we have also transitioned into the flu season. The flu season begins in October and gen-erally ends in May. The flu vaccine is becoming con-troversial for those who work in the health care setting. Some institution are changing or writing policies making it manda-tory for workers to get the influenza vaccine; a re-fusal can lead to job loss. There is a population of healthy people who refuse to get vaccinated.The influenza vaccine is

the b e s t

way to pre-vent the flu. The

earlier in the flu season you get vaccinated the bet-ter your chances of staying free of the flu. Once vac-cinated with the influenza vaccine it takes about two weeks for it to be effec-tive. The influenza vac-cine works by causing an-tibodies to develop in your body which provides pro-tection against infection from the flu virus. The flu vaccine cannot cause the flu. Some people who get vaccinated catch the flu in the two weeks before the vaccine becomes effective. The vaccine is not 100% effective. Vaccinated peo-ple sometimes get the flu; however, the vaccinated.

There are cur-rently four types of flu vaccines:

▶The traditional flu shot is an in-jection into the muscle that con-tains flu virus particles which stimulate anti-flu immunity.▶The high-dose flu vaccine is used for people 65 years and old-er. Ingredients are the same as the traditional

vaccine but the dose is higher.▶I n t rade rma l flu vaccine is used for peo-ple between the ages of 18 to 64 years. It is giv-en through a tiny needle that only goes skin deep. The ingredients are the same as the traditional vaccine.▶Nasal spray flu vaccine is used for people be-tween the ages

of 2 to 49 years. It is also known as a live attenuated in-fluenza vaccine. It contains a live weakened flu virus; however, research shows it does not cause the flu.Some common side effects of the flu shot includes sore-ness and or swelling in your arm after getting the injection and common cold symptoms such as sniffles, headache, runny nose, sore throat, cough, or a low-grade tempera-ture.

The major compli-cation of the flu is pneumonia. It is recommended for high-risk individuals who are more prone to flu complications to get vaccinated:▶ Women who are

pregnant during the flu season▶ People who are 50 years or older▶ Residents who live in nursing homes▶ People with chronic heart or lung condi-tions (for example, asthma) or any con-dition that weakens the immune system (for example, dia-betes or HIV).▶ Caregivers such as baby sitters of any children young-er than five years of age.▶ People who come in close contact with someone in a high-risk group (for ex-ample, health care workers).

You should com-municate with your doctor before get-ting the influenza vaccine if:▶ You have had

an allergic reaction to the influenza vac-cine in the past▶ You have an al-lergy to eggs▶ You have or have had a history of Gullain Barre Syn-drome (a disorder in which the body’s immune system at-tacks part of the nervous system).You can help pre-vent the spread of the virus by:▶ Please practice constant handwash-ing at home as well as in public places.▶ Please cover your mouth when you cough and your nose if you sneeze and place your used tissues in a trash can. ▶ Please stay home if you become infected.
