This is the book that I have been reading over the past couple of days, and I am not entirely sure what I think about it. On the face of it, it all seems rather nice, pray these prayers and claim these promises and you will not only conceive, but have a pain-free delivery. After all, Jesus died on the cross to offer grace where there was once law, and there is no such thing as a miscarriage or abortion in the Bible, and all the women in the bible who were childless went onto have children when their faith increased.
But doesn't this rather smack of the 'name it and claim it' prosperity gospel? The one where you get what you pray for, with God as a vending machine - say the right words and your request shall be granted? It feels like the book 'The Prayer of Jabez'.
Yet there are testimonies of people who have prayed the prayers and have got pregnant and had wonderful deliveries. Has anyone prayed the prayers and still not got pregnant?
I think that a lot of the promises about perfect love driving out fear are great, as I think that labour pain is magnified through fear of the pain itself and what is happening around you. But whether you can actually address your ovaries and tell them to produce perfect eggs to meet with the equally perfect sperm, I am not so sure.
But, it can't hurt as an aid to our prayers, a direction in which to focus our thoughts. I guess its a wait and see time.

This is about *WHERE* is FAITH! God will meet you at the level of your faith. Each of us are at different levels in our walk with Christ, He uses many experiences to urge us to the next level. Where is your faith level right now? Is God meeting you at higher place than He was 6 months ago?
Whom then shall I fear? With God as my Redeemer, whom shall I fear? There is power in the blood of Jesus, there is power in the Word of God, there is power over satan in the words you speak in rebuking him.
Grow your faith and rebuke fear!
Blessings!
I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
Thanks
