And
- [Run with Perseverance](https://livingstonesministries.org/run-with-perseverance/) - Before you opened this book, you may have wondered if God is still in the miracle business. The Bible tells stories of transformation, but does God perform healings of mind, body, and soul today? The real-life stories shared in Just Give Me Jesus testify to the reality of transformation. You can’t deny that God still

- [The Long-Long-Term Perspective](https://livingstonesministries.org/the-long-long-term-perspective/) - Sometimes it’s necessary to stand back and gain some perspective. I’m learning that my perspective must be long-long-term. In many instances, a trial passes and you move on—a better, stronger, and more joyous person for having passed through that difficulty. That’s living in a long-term perspective. But in some cases, the trial continues for a
- [Who are you?](https://livingstonesministries.org/who-are-you/) - In your journey you must learn to trust the Lord with all your heart. When you take your eyes off Jesus, you start to trust your own actions. But only God can handle this. Do not be wise in your own eyes (Proverbs 3:7 NIV). Who are you? Yes, your loved one has a broken

- [Release Control](https://livingstonesministries.org/release-control/) - In my journey toward healing, I often played a game of tug-of-war with God.

- [Out of Darkness](https://livingstonesministries.org/out-of-darkness/) - One effective way Satan gains power over us and our loved ones is through minimizing sin.

Someone’s words have probably hurt you recently, and you’ve probably hurt someone with your words too. Word wounds are often the product of a critical spirit—in you or the other person. Those who give free rein to a critical spirit tear down other people rather than build them up. Over
- [Singing in the Pain](https://livingstonesministries.org/singing-in-the-pain/) - The Thanksgiving season beckons us into a spirit of praise, worship, and thanksgiving.
