5.0 out of 5 stars We are not meant to carry the burdens we hold...., January 21, 2011

This review is from: That Was Then, This Is Now: This Broken Vessel Restored (Paperback)

"I am a child of the King, and I can do all thing thur Christ who strengthens me. No matter what challenges try to over take me I will use my voice and cry out to the one that can do anything but fail"

Why isn't that something we believe in our storm? We ask why me and question GOD's ability when we struggle or fail.

Paulette Harper presents us with a powerful message of praise as she opens her heart and bares her soul, exposing her insecurities, hurts and struggles. But also allowing us to come along on her journey of healing and faith.

Paulette shows us that even though we come to church and sing praises, shout, dance and pray, some often go home to continue the cycle of abuse, worthlessness, and self destruction. Even those who bring us the word aren't exempt.

But God's promise in Isaiah 10:27 (KJV): And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from thy neck and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

We have to remember, that if we turn ourselves and our problems to the Master they can be removed, stop trying to hold onto things, thinking we can fix or heal on our own.

You have to have the faith to endure the storm and know that your anointing, and your healing is on the way.

Thank you Paulette for using your experience as a stepping stone of faith that will no doubt be helpful for someone to know GOD on a more personal level.

5.0 out of 5 stars God Has A Purpose For Us, Even In Our Mess., December 24, 2008

By 

Lisa Diane "The Rapturous Reader" (Northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: That Was Then, This Is Now: This Broken Vessel Restored (Paperback)

Sometimes life deals us blows due to bad decisions on our parts, and sometimes we bare the brunt of the bad decisions of others. In Paulette Harper's, That Was Then and This is Now: This Broken Vessel Restored, we are provided with encouragement we can use to propel us out of our negative situations. But beware! This is not a book from an "expert" who has seen it all, but hasn't personally experience the pain and disappointment that many of us have suffered. Instead, Paulette ministers to those with hurting hearts, by candidly sharing her tribulations of a broken marriage, disappointing dreams, and thoughts of suicide. She also provides hope and inspiration from biblical examples and solutions based on the Word of God.

This is a must read for everyone feeling as though they are wearing a mask of "all is well", yet feels anguish in their soul. Paulette Harper does an excellent job of showing us how to receive the abundant blessings of God.

"That Was Then, This is Now: This Broken vessel Restored" by Paulette Harper is a beautifully written, Christ inspired testimony of a person who has been reclaimed into the family of God. Despite a myriad of setbacks and disappointments, Ms. Harper aptly demonstrates in her testimony that you can do all things through Christ who give you the strength. In fact, this rich and powerful spiritual treatise takes you on an incredible journey demonstrating how the effectual working of the Holy Spirit, after having fallen short of his love, can restore you back into the love of God and the perfection of his will. This spiritually rich and priceless document should be particularly read by men and women who are struggling with doubts, discouragements and defeat and are in need of second chances in the love of God. This valued treasure is highly recommended to all.
