Your Stories of Saying “Yes” to God
Unconscious Girl Revived Because “No More No!” ~ Tiffany Medrick
An administrative assistant at King’s Trail Cowboy Church, Tiffany Medrick, had heard several of Jason Norton, the pastor’s, stories since he had read No More No and began saying yes to God’s promptings. She then heard Julie speak at her church on August 30, 2015. That same evening, Tiffany and her husband were driving on the highway when they saw three little girls frantically…
Read MoreNo Longer the Bearded Chicken ~ Jason Norton
Background: Jason Norton is the pastor of King’s Trail Cowboy Church, a large church in Whitewright, Texas.

Romans 7:4-6 Have you ever noticed that as soon as you tell yourself you’re going on a strict diet, all you think about is food and how much you want to eat? Or when you tell yourself you’re going to start a strict Bible reading plan, how the joy of reading quickly gets lost? Why is it…
Read MoreDay 16 – When Slavery is a Good Thing – Julie Earl
Romans 6 Who would have thought slavery could be a good thing? It is if your Master is passionately in love with you. I can’t think of a greater Master than a God who loves me so much that He suffered and died for me. Romans 6 tells us that once you receive Jesus’ forgiveness, you are free from your sinful…

Romans 6:1-14 Have you ever seen a grave robber walking around carrying the carcass of a dead person, trying to get that carcass (or cadaver) to function? To eat with him at a restaurant? to shop at the mall? or play a round of golf? This picture is ludicrous and disgusting. No one would drag death around and expect to live a happy, fulfilled…

Romans 5:7-8 “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

Romans 5:1-5 It’s much easier to gripe than be grateful. (I speak from experience.) We can focus on the faults of those around us, our financial shortages, our health issues and on and on. But sadly, the more we gripe, the more miserable we become. Romans 5:1-5 has wonderful truths about God’s peace, grace, glory, hope…

Romans 4:18-21 Some people who are believing God for healing have the mistaken notion that we aren’t allowed to mention our illness to others, or even admit it to ourselves, because that indicates a lack of faith. Abraham is our example that it is okay to face the facts and be honest. “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed….Without weakening…
Read MoreDay 11 – Righteous by Faith or Works? – Julie Earl
Romans 4:1-17 There are many people, who once they believe in Jesus for their salvation, feel they have to take over from there. They feel faith in God gets them into God’s family, but that they have to obtain a certain level of holiness in order to stay in God’s family. Romans 4:1-17 addresses this issue, and is rich with examples…
Read MoreDay 10 – Give Up On Good Deeds – Julie Earl
Romans 3:21-31 If you want to be in right standing with God (righteous), then you need to give up on good deeds and let go of your efforts. Your good deeds and effort won’t make you right with God – in fact, they can keep you from God. “How can that be?” you ask. The book of…
