After planting her feet beside Jesus, Janet focused on this scripture: “In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me—the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do because I am going to the Father” (John 4:12 and Mark 16:15–20), that many signs would follow the believers of Jesus. Janet told the Lord she was available if He could use her. Upon the pages of this book, Janet writes about miraculous life-changing experiences led by the Holy Spirit. These are comparable to Biblically recorded events, such as healings, deliverance, salvation, and being raised from the dead. She discovered the promises made by God in His Word still come to pass in our own day. What’s recorded in the New Testament can be experienced by believers purposed to live for Him while yielding to His Holy Spirit. Like old friends who have grown up together, her relationship with Jesus continues to deepen. She became convinced Jesus is Who He says He is. Jesus will take you, draw you, lift you, make you, and provide you with everything needed to live, move, and have your being. This book is not an autobiography. It is about meeting, knowing, and being led by the Holy Spirit. In these chapters, Janet has presented the teachings He unfolded, along with the discovery that truly “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). It’s Janet’s hope that if you don’t already know Jesus personally, this book will make that introduction.

The moon, a luminous pearl in the velvet sky, cast a silver glow on the cobblestone street below. Shadows stretched and twisted, dancing to a silent tune as the wind whistled through the alleyways. Whispers, carried on the night breeze, seemed to tell tales of secrets and hidden wonders, weaving a tapestry of mystery that enveloped the entire village of Hawthorne. From the inky depths of a doorway, a pair of emerald eyes emerged, gleaming like precious jewels. They belonged to a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, a being of grace and stealth, whose very presence held an air of enchantment. A cat, sleek and silent, stepped into the moonlight, its paws padding softly across the cobblestones. Its fur, as black as the midnight sky, shimmered with an otherworldly sheen. Each movement was fluid and deliberate, as if choreographed by the moon itself. The cat paused, tilting its head, its ears twitching as it listened to the symphony of the night. The faint rustle of leaves, the distant hoot of an owl, and the murmured conversations of villagers settling into their homes for the night all formed a harmonious backdrop to the cat’s silent vigil. This was Shadow, a cat known throughout Cobblestone Street not just for his sleek appearance, but for the air of mystery that always seemed to accompany him. To the villagers, Shadow was a guardian of sorts, a silent sentinel who watched over the night and ensured that peace reigned while they slept. Children whispered tales of his bravery and adults respected his presence, believing that wherever Shadow walked, he brought with him an invisible cloak of protection.
