Coming Out Of The Swamp

This book helps us understand that if we desire victory in our walk with the Lord, we have to want it with all our hearts. We have to want to come out of the swamp and get cleaned up. We have to want to let go of the same old things that have kept us from maturing, growing, and feasting on the blessings of the Lord.

With the grace of God and some willpower on our part, we can come out of any addiction, bad habit, or lazy existence. However, we have to take the steps and say, “Yes, Lord, I’m ready to come out from the mess I made of life. I’m ready to be separate and available for your use.” 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

There is a special section in this book introducing some bloggers and writers I respect. Jami Rogers, Doug Glada, David Kalamen, and Larry Carruthers have written some articles for your enjoyment and spiritual growth. May you be as strengthened reading their inspired thoughts as I have been.

About The Author

I currently live in the beautiful city of Kelowna, British Columbia. It was during an Okanagan Valley summer of 1979 Jesus Christ, through faith, became my Lord and Savior. At that time I was struggling with being functionally illiterate. I was transferred into an English school from a French school at the beginning of grade five; therefore, I missed all the fundamental rules of grammar and diction for reading and writing English.
In 1980 while attending Commonwealth Bible College in Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia, I miraculously started to understand how to read and write. Through prayer and faith God gave me the gift to memorise and remember scripture in vast amounts. Out of this blessing my ability to read and write grew rapidly to the point where I could teach the Word of God at a college learning level.
After living in Australia for six years working and ministering in different capacities of Christian ministry, I returned to Canada. Since that time I have been assisting at the Kelowna Christian Center Society.
For my entire adult life I have been employed as a sales rep for a security company and also offering my ministry services to the body of Christ. The blessing of living in this time of great possibilities through all the technologies available to us is truly amazing. The blog, Sir Norm’s Proverbial Comment, is one of the tools I am using to reach out and be a blessing.
