August 19, 2008Posted by Paula White - Tue, August 19, 2008 at 03:04 AM It was a special moment when I announced I was bringing Life by Design to Tampa monthly—after all, I conceived of the idea for Life By Design in Tampa—a way to help people discover and fulfill their destinies. But I certainly didn’t expect the incredible reception I received from the Without Walls congregation the other night in Tampa—I was overwhelmed! I truly felt the warmhearted response and love from the people of Without Walls, who welcomed me with enthusiasm and open hearts. It was an awesome homecoming and I am excited to be back in Tampa every month to share God’s Word. Life by Design is the thing I do that is nearest to my heart. I love to minister and coach at the events, but I find great reward in knowing that people who come begin to better understand God’s purpose for their life. If someone can stand on my shoulders and be launched into their purpose and destiny then my life is fulfilled. It’s wonderful to hear attendees tell me how it’s helped and inspired them. So for this blog, I’d like to share some of the emails I have received after Life by Design events. For example, after a New York City event, I received this: In the name of Jesus last night I attended the Life by Design and I have to tell you…Paula your words light up my spirit each time I hear you speak. God has truly anointed you and blessed you to be a blessing to others. When I left that evening I called everyone and told them that they MISSED a miracle of God blessings. I know and BELIEVE that God will continue to help me grow closer… I was on FIRE for the LORD and everyone that attended last night was BLESSED! Thank you so much for changing my mind and helping me understand that I will TRUST, BELEIVE and know that God is in CONTROL of my LIFE. Be Blessed. And this: Pastor White GOD is using you in a mighty way here in New York. I thank GOD that is has enabled you to come here and start your Life By Design Ministry for it has been a blessing to my soul. I pray that you continue to hear GOD’s voice and bring the word to his people as he has chosen you for this set time here in New York. If you haven’t been to a Life by Design service, I hope you will attend one near you. And if you live too far away from Tampa, San Antonio and New York, consider getting one of my CDs, which contain many of the same teachings. No matter what you are currently going through in life, I have a ministry resource just for you. My CDs and my television ministry allow me to bring the Word to people all over the world. It’s affirming to know that through television and audio reproduction I can reach so many with the mission God has assigned to me and that is - heal hearts, transform lives and win souls. When I tape Paula White Today, I look in the camera and can picture in my mind’s eye all of you watching—I feel truly connected with you, though you may be thousands of miles away. Isn’t modern technology amazing? Never before has man had the opportunity to be so effective for the Kingdom as today. After seeing the program on TBN, a woman from one of the southern states wrote me a few months ago: I just wanted to write to you and tell you how much I appreciate you. Believe me, I am one of those who would have fallen into utter darkness over and over again, if you had not been declaring the word of the Lord! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for not giving up, and for being so transparent, especially now in a time that has been so difficult for you. The first time you appeared on TBN after the news came out about you and your family, God used you to save my life and my destiny. Those words inspired me—not only because this woman felt that she was helped in a significant way by what she heard on my television program, but they were words of encouragement for me, personally. Yes, this has been a very hard year. I wish life were perfect for us all, but, as many of you know so well, it isn’t. God presents us challenges and expects us to step up and meet them head on. And just like you, there are times when I also need encouragement and support. God never told us He would deliver us from the storm, but He promised to be with us through the storm. He has provided so much love, guidance and help over the past year. But what has also kept me going is the love and support of YOU, my partners, viewers and friends. Your response, your letters, and support encourage me to keep standing and fulfilling the great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Sharing the Word with you is a privilege and I thank you for standing with me and for your continued support and prayers. I pray for you every day. Love, Paula Share This!
