    About this ebook

    Are you a Christian? Are you sure? Jesus said, "Not everyone who calls me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Many today claim to be Christians, but their lives are not in line with God's Word. How does your life measure up? Take a look inside and find out!

      First and Foremost, to my Heavenly Father, to the Son, and the Holy Spirit, for loving me when I was at my most unlovable, for saving me, for choosing me, and for teaching me (even when I would rather be asleep!)....Thank You.

      To my mother, LaJetta McDaniel, who set a firm foundation under me and prayed for me when I was too smart to pray......You are priceless! I thank you.

      To my father, Rev. Ron McDaniel....you set a good example. As often as I think of how God changed you and see how He uses you now....it is an inspiration. I thank you.

      To my husband, Ramon Milano.....for believing in me and supporting me.....I thank you. We’ve come a long way together and I am glad that you are mine and I am yours.

      To my sister Dia Johnson.....you don’t even know how you’ve helped me.....you’ve always been there and I thank you for it.

      Last but not least, to my current and previous pastors: First to Rev. John J. Harris III, a wonderful teacher, I learned so much under you as I was growing up. Your labors have not been in vain. Second to Rev. Dion Greer, I still consider you and the Allen Chapel AME Church my Connecticut family. We really had no one when we first moved there, so I thank you and the Allen Chapel church family for taking us in and loving us. I love you all and I am so grateful to God for you. Last, to Pastors Greg and Celeste Texada, under your ministry I feel I have grown in leaps and bounds. Sometimes I look back and I am amazed at who I used to be and who I am now. I give God the glory, but I thank you for your part. This book would not have been possible without you.

      I am sure there are more I should be thanking, but my mind won’t cooperate. For everyone who loved me, spoke good things over my life, supported and prayed for me.....I thank you.

      Introduction

      The Lord woke me up very early one morning during a time of prayer and fasting in my church. He gave me this book, with the purpose of waking up His people. When Jesus returns, he is looking for a church without spot or blemish. Obviously that does not mean perfection, as the body is filled with imperfect people. However, he is looking for people whose hearts are perfect toward him. This is where there is a problem. There are many people in the Church who think that they are okay with the Lord and they are not. Most are deceived, and some are hypocrites, walking in disobedience to God’s word. Hopefully this book will reach both. Allow me to state my case. In a dying and hurting world, it is those of us in the Church who are meant to show God’s love and minister to those who are lost. The problem is most of us are not fully submitted to God. We don’t practice what we preach. Even those who are not
