Peace Be Still

About the Book

Hell has no fury as a man or woman scorned. Relationships, like storms blowing swiftly and fading away into nothingness—only to gather again for the next storm. A storm that does not respect age, race, sex, or economic status; this is an equal opportunity condition. I experienced a relationship storm that shook the core of my marriage. I had waited many years and believed this was the right choice for me; the waiting was over at last. I would be happy—I had foundMr. Right! This was my marriage in 2014: Ms. Commit Phobia and Mr. Over-Committed, united in holy matrimony! Peace Be Still is a walk on the wild side from a spiritual perspective: re-gaining and conquering what the enemy had stolen. Through a series of prayers—I had to go into the house of the strongman and regain what he took, applying strong prayers, fasting and taking risks; I did what God directed me to do and walked in obedience. I was willing to step out in faith and took risks, unwilling to play it safe under spiritual attacks. Jesus met me at the point of my need and honored my faith—the restoration of my life and my home. As according to Joel 2:25-26: restoration of what the worms ate (lost years); the Lord restored and planted me in my promised land, flowing in abundance with love, joy, peace and happiness. Peace be Still is not for the faint-hearted in faith or prayer. Faith, and taking possession of your possessions by exercising spiritual authority in persistent prayer—bombarding the camp of the enemy and destroying the works of the enemy will allow you to gain access to the promised land that is yours—and yours by divine right! Nothing is impossible through faith—believe what you set your heart and mind to attain will become your reality. As you conquer your promised land flowing with bountiful blessings of milk and honey—Love, Joy, Peace and Happiness is your reward in Jesus’ name. Warning—Prayer Zone—proceed with caution!

About the Author

Marcia Meikle-Naughton is a woman that walked a pathway overrun with ravines, trenches, and sinkholes. From an emotional perspective, each mile helped shape Marcia into the woman of God she is today in focus, attitude, relationships, and purpose. Marcia had to trust God and allowed the loving presence of the Holy Spirit to touch her heart and aid her in releasing hurtful memories. She experienced life events that would have crippled and stifled the creative person she is today; however, the Holy Spirit shielded her heart and kept her soft and pliable in the hands of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Marcia came to the United States as an immigrant from Jamaica, West Indies. She was educated in the American school system from middle school to graduate school, adapting a culture very dissimilar to her own. Raised by strict Jamaican parents, Marcia spent most of her private times reading books as a little girl with a very vivid imagination. Marcia tried to live the life she read about and sought out love and found disappointment and heartbreak instead. Over the years, revolving relationships and engagements. After broken engagement number 3, Marcia experienced a life-changing transition, graduating with a master’s degree in business and, three months later, being pregnant. The birth of her daughter Brianna gave Marcia purpose and a plan for the future. Deep-diving into a Wall Street career, Marcia grew in the company and branched off to start her own business. Marcia learned in the process that God is the keeper and sustainer of life; Jesus was the anchor that kept her going year after year. Through the love of Jesus, Marcia learned how to forgive people and release them in her heart and mind. Marcia came to the realization and revelation on the power of forgiveness in bringing transformation in her life and those connected to her. In the release, God unleashed blessings in every area and aspect of her life. Latent gifts and talents suddenly were visible. She started believing God for the impossible and began walking in faith, doing what she was not willing and reluctant to attempt. Obedience opened a floodgate of blessings: ventures tried began bearing fruit in great abundance. Forgiving people and, lastly, forgiving herself unlocked a flow gate of blessings—total release of people and, most importantly, forgiving herself and accepting herself with rights and responsibilities as a human being who is not perfect. Marcia is a woman of God, a wife, and a mother. Marcia is also a successful reggae and gospel music recording artist under the artist name Lady Peace MN. Her first solo single, “Story Book Children,” and subsequent releases in 2015 with an upcoming CD released in 2016, “Music from the Heart,” is a testimony of the transforming power of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Marcia is a published author and writer of short stories and mini screenplays and videos. Marcia holds an MBA in business and is a project manager/program manager. Marcia is an entrepreneur, building businesses one by one! According to the Word of God, if you can imagine it, God can do so much more (my paraphrase). The spa/ beauty and makeup business is her passion away from music and the creative arts. Marcia has great boulder-like dreams and visions. The Holy Spirit provides direction and guidance and fuels her imagination and dreams to higher heights of accomplishments in the name of Jesus.
