I’m often asked this question by people who are not familiar with my work. It’s one I’m always truly happy to answer.

The 3 Overriding, Bottom-Line Benefits

The 3 overriding, bottom-line benefits that I offer Christian women are the ability  

1. To MEET THE LORD FOR THEMSELVES — FIRSTHAND, ONE-ON-ONE, DIRECTLY 

2. To know HOW to do this not once or twice or 3 times, but WHENEVER YOU WANT OR NEED TO —for the rest of your life 

3. To CONVINCE women that this meeting is not only entirely possible but is the Lord’s expressed WILL for them!

I have specially designed all the articles, my webinar, interview, videos, and FREE GUIDE on my website  to

• inspire and convince women that they CAN meet the Lord one-on-one, firsthand, for themselves whenever they wish or need to

• give them repeated opportunities to do so

You see, trying to know God in a REAL and personally fulfilling way is almost impossible unless you KNOW HOW to experience and soak in His PRESENCE, LOVE, JOY, and PEACE firsthand, one-on-one, directly, for yourself.

In fact, not knowing how to do this would be like trying to walk with one foot only 

Yes, with huge effort you might just about manage to keep hobbling when life is going smoothly. But when life gets painful, tough, and unpredictable, you’ll eventually stumble and even, perhaps, fall flat —and so get even more hurt than you already are.

What Can Happen to Women in Their Mid-30’s

Christian women need to be aware that, especially around their mid-thirties, they begin to look inwards and ask themselves serious questions.

• What is the real meaning of my life?
• Is this all there is to Christianity?
• Am I actually living the purpose the Lord has intended for me?
• Does God genuinely care when I am hurting? Or is he locked away in His ivory tower, cut off from all genuine human experience?
• What is evil?
• Can I really recover from an experience of evil?
• WHO exactly IS God anyway?

Several things in a woman’s life can lead to this self-and-God questioning.

For example:

Perhaps a very significant personal relationship has ruptured or totally disappeared.

Or perhaps your family, community, or entire nation has experienced a trauma of some sort.

Or perhaps you’ve received some VERY bad news.

Or —here’s another tough one:

Perhaps there’s come a time when your prayers seem to fall on deaf ears, and your relationship with God has become somehow disconnected and unrecognizable.

Whatever your particular situation might be, you experience a loss of some kind and the feelings of profound grief, confusion, and disorientation that follow.

But There’s Truly Good News for You!

But the truly good news is that there IS a way to experience the Lord’s PRESENCE, LOVE, JOY, and PEACE firsthand, directly, for yourself —whenever you want or need to.

The 5 Stepping Stones to Getting There

I teach women 5 stepping stones from personal loss, trauma, and crisis to personal peace, joy, and stability, and to a lasting connection or re-connection to God.

You see, when you need to find God urgently, for whatever reason, you DO NOT need any more Bible studies, sermons, favourite CD’s, advice from trusted friends, or even more prayer groups.

What you need are 5 things and 5 things only.

And you need them as soon as possible:

1. A way to ENTER INTO GOD’S PRESENCE FAR MORE DIRECTLY

2. A way to EXPERIENCE FIRSTHAND THE LORD’S LOVE, JOY, and PEACE

3. A way to start an ONGOING CONVERSATION with Him

4. The ability to HEAR HIM SPEAK PERSONALLY TO YOU!

5. Some form of SOLID, RELIABLE SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE

And there IS a simple way to make each one of these unique, amazing benefits your own. It’s called praying with and from your HEART (see section below titled ‘Prayer of the HEART: The ‘Spiritual Midwife’ that Enables You to Achieve Transformation’). And you can pray with your heart whenever you need or want any of these benefits.

Ongoing Transformation: A Lifelong Undertaking

Contrary to what some Christian folks think, you never stand still in your Christian life.

You are either going forwards or going backwards.

We all go backwards from time to time. That’s part of our humanity.

But the important thing is to know HOW to move forwards again!

That’s critical.

And this is where praying with and from your heart comes in again. It’s always the reliable way to start moving forward again.

Rebirth/Baptism is Only Your First Springboard Into your Lifelong JOURNEY into Jesus’ Kingdom

Why do you need to keep moving in the forwards direction?

You need to move forwards because your journey with the Lord requires it!

You see, rebirth and/or baptism are only your initial springboards into Jesus’ kingdom. You can’t stop there. These are just your first steps on your lifelong JOURNEY into God’s kingdom!

Always keep in mind that the single invitation the Lord has offered you while here on earth is to take on the His likeness and image.

This can never be a one-off event.

It must be ongoing.

It’s a journey that can never end!

And it’s EXACTLY THIS JOURNEY that Jesus took on our humanity, then suffered and died, to offer YOU!

Think of It This Way

Think of it this way:

If you were to tell your friends that you’d experienced the city of Paris simply because you were given a ticket to get you to Paris, they’d wonder if you were living in an alternate universe!

In exactly the same way, your rebirth and/or baptism do not equate to your ongoing JOURNEY into God’s Kingdom.

They are merely the ‘ticket’ to that journey!

So it’s only when you put to use the ticket of baptism and rebirth that your ticket becomes meaningful and can actually bear the fruit God intends.

Listen to Paul the Apostle:

In this work, we work with God, and that means that you are a field under God’s cultivation, or, if you like, a house being built to his plan.

1 Corinthians 3:9 J. B. Phillips New Testament  (My emphasis)

So transformation is not a one-off thing. It’s ongoing!

Prayer of the HEART:

The ‘Spiritual Midwife’ that Enables You to Achieve Transformation

Praying with and from your HEART is the ‘spiritual midwife’ who keeps bringing to birth the image and likeness of God within you.

It’s the reliable way to your and my ongoing, lasting, real, transformation.

This way of being present to the Lord (which is exactly what ALL prayer is) ALWAYS gets results.

Once you discover how to connect with God (i. e. to pray) in this way, you’ll never look back. 

Specific Benefits I Offer Women

Benefit # 1

Building TRUST

Isn’t it true that when you spend regular time in a person’s presence, you get to know that individual and that individual gets to know you?

Trust grows. A genuine and real friendship develops.

You can rely on each other for love and support.

It’s exactly the same with you and God.

When you know how to experience firsthand God’s Presence, love, and rest —any time you want or need it —you develop TRUST in the Lord.

And for the Lord, your new-found trust is a precious gift for Him!

This new-found TRUST in the Lord makes it entirely comfortable and natural for you to start a genuine, free-flowing, 2-way, ongoing conversation with Him.

And THE LORD is only too willing to respond by starting a conversation with YOU!

You come to understand that a mutual, two-way, free-flowing, intimate conversation is not only completely possible but is actually the Lord’s will for you!

You will now have the trust necessary to present to Him honestly, not holding anything back, your anxieties and problems.

You will have the trust to ask Him questions.

And you will have the trust to know and believe that the Lord WILL answer your questions —and do so clearly!

Benefit # 2

Understanding Repentance Accurately

It seems that many Christian women can find themselves struggling with guilt.

This is because they don’t really have a genuine, mature understanding of repentance. 

As a result, they dread the thought of having to ‘repent’.

A mature understanding of repentance is crucial for your ongoing peace and wellbeing as well as for healthy relationship with the Lord.

But here’s the thing:

A mature understanding of repentance is directly linked to your image and understanding of God.

In addition, you might not know that there is such a thing as false repentance (see section titled 'A Lovely Surprise!').

When you mature in your understanding of genuine repentance, you will be able to distinguish between genuine and false repentance!

Benefit # 3

The Vital Importance of Good-Quality Spiritual Guidance

To help you with the challenges/issues of your particular spiritual journey it’s very important to have a wise, compassionate, experienced, and trusted Christian friend or an experienced and, preferably, a trained spiritual guide.

Just as you try to get hold of a professional trainer when you want to get physically healthy, in exactly the same way a spiritually mature Christian friend whose integrity you can trust, or a recommended trained Christian spiritual guide, can help you hugely deal with the possible pitfalls and dead-ends of your spiritual journey.

Your journey will than become far easier and much more rewarding.

If you can’t find a trusted friend or guide, don’t panic!

I’ve created all the articles, webinar, videos, and personal interview on my website, aclearpathtogod.com to offer you the spiritual guidance you need in the tough times.

And, just to make absolutely sure you ALWAYS have access to the kind of reliable help you need, I have provided you with a high-quality, FREE GUIDE. It’s titled:

How to Regain, and Maintain,

God’s Lasting Inner Peace and Joy:

A Guaranteed Way to Experience God’s Presence, Love and Rest One-On-One

You can find this GUIDE at the end of every article!

And, to help you even more, I’ve written a book to offer you the essential tools for maintaining your inner peace and joy through thick and thin.

HUGE ‘Offshoot’ Benefits

There are HUGE ‘spinoff’ benefits to be had from the 3 bottom-line benefits (see the start of this article) as follows:

Gradually, but extremely surely, you begin to…

• fully accept yourself JUST AS YOU ARE—sins, warts and all!

• developa crystal-clear sense of your personal identity 

• enjoy a deep sense of self-worth that no one and no circumstance can ever take fro you

• are able to love others as they are without having to change them first!

• come to see that all your other forms of prayer are now further enriched, deepened, more real and personally satisfying

• achieve a fresh understanding of the scriptures 

• become healthier —emotionally, mentally, physically and, of course, spiritually 

• are more peace-filled 

• are more joy-filled 

• enjoy more freedom in God 

• are wiser

• are stronger in your faith

• have a far greater clarity on your priorities and on where you want to go in life, and why 

• can inspire to othersto enjoy the same benefits

• have a better understanding of evil and can identify its presence before it harms you or your loved ones

• are free, able, and ready to abandon the defensive armor (see section titled 'Understanding the Source and Roots of Your False Self and its Negative Emotions) that you developed in your early childhood to protect you from the big, often unforgiving world, and that you thought (mistakenly) that you needed to hold on to even into adulthood but that has actually gotten in the way of a mature, close, and rewarding relationship with God

Expect All Changes for the Better to Happen Naturally!

I want to assure you that changes for the better happen naturally.

And, as time passes, your family and friends notice these changes too!

In fact, they often notice them before you do!

You see, now you are able to...

• maintain your connection to God, and your inner peace and joy,regardless of how your external life situations might change

• sleep better at night 

• have the Lord himself as your personal Teacher

• never again have to spin your spiritual wheels

• never again have to experience the desolation, disorientation, and confusion you might have experienced before

• have at your fingertips a solid, time-tested means of dealing with future crises, loss, trauma, tough experiences and testy personal relationships

• live at deep inner peace and joy even in ‘impossible’ situations

• are able to move well beyond your particular Christian tradition to genuinely love and embrace people of other Christian traditions, other religions, and of no faith at all

• make, therefore, a reality Christ’s heartfelt prayer that all Christians would unite as one (John 17:21) rather than simply keep hoping for and talking about it

How Other Christian Women Have Benefited and CONTINUE to Benefit!

Here’s what some of the women I’ve guided over 26 years have to say about the lasting rewards of this special way of being present to God, this special way of prayer, of this way to maturity your never-ending journey into the Kingdom of God.
