Julie looked at the youth group, her voice steady. “I was born in Missouri,” she began, “to strict German parents. Life was rigid. Faith was there, but it wasn’t personal yet.” She paused, looking at the young faces. “At 14, I met Christ. It was at an evangelistic meeting, in a small Methodist church. That night, something changed.”

She went on. “I felt alive. It wasn’t just a decision; it was a calling. I knew from that moment God had a plan for me. I didn’t fully understand it, but I said yes.”

The group listened quietly. Julie knew what they were thinking. How does a young girl find herself called into ministry so early? She smiled and continued. “Two years later, I convinced the elders of a small Baptist church to let me preach. They were hesitant at first, but the place filled up. People came to hear, not me, but God’s Word.”

Chapter 2: The Call to Preach

On the second night, Julie shared her first experience as a preacher. “I had no formal training. I just had the Word. I remember standing in front of the congregation, a mix of hope and fear in my heart. But I leaned on God’s promises.”

She opened her Bible and quoted Proverbs 4:20-22. “God’s Word is life. It’s health to all our flesh. That’s what I preached, and people listened. Some believed right away; others took time.”

Julie smiled at the group. “That night, I saw the power of the Word in action. The church wasn’t large, but the Spirit moved. That moment marked the beginning of my journey as a preacher.”

Chapter 3: The First Miracle

On the third night, Julie told them about her first healing service. “I had been traveling for a while, holding meetings in small towns. One night, in a crowded tent, a woman stood up. She shared that she had been healed of a tumor the night before. I didn’t pray for her. I didn’t even know about it. But God healed her during the meeting.”

She paused, letting the moment sink in. “That was the first healing I ever witnessed in one of my services. It wasn’t about me. It was about God’s Word. His Word is medicine to all our flesh. Healing came just from being in the presence of the Word.”

Julie looked at the group. “That’s when I realized the depth of what God wanted to do. It wasn’t just about preaching. It was about healing.”

Chapter 4: Preparing for the Miracle

By the fourth night, the youth group was eager to hear more. Julie focused on preparing them for the weekend’s miracle service. “Healing isn’t complicated,” she said. “It’s not about rituals or formulas. It’s about faith in God’s Word.”

She quoted again from Proverbs. “God’s Word is health. It’s life. And it’s for everyone. Some people say healing isn’t for all. But if His Word is for all, then healing is too.”

Julie encouraged them to soak in the Word. “Before this weekend, I want you to read, meditate, and believe. God’s Word doesn’t return void. It will work if you let it. Healing power is already at work in you.”

Chapter 5: The Miracle Service

On the final night, Julie stood before the group, readying them for the miracle service. “Tomorrow, we will see God move. But remember, it’s not about me. It’s not even about the service. It’s about God’s Word.”

She reminded them again of Proverbs 4:20-22. “His Word is medicine to all your flesh. If you take it, it will heal you.”

Julie encouraged the group to come expectant. “You don’t have to understand every part of the Bible for it to work in you, just like you don’t need to know how food nourishes your body. You simply have to believe and receive.”

As they prepared for the weekend, Julie felt the presence of God in the room. “Healing will come. Not because of me, but because of God’s Word. His Word is life, and it’s for everyone.”
