    About this ebook

    Bonnie Baker had tasted everything the devil could serve up—alcohol, drugs, money, gambling, abuse, jail time, depression, even several encounters with death. Yet her life has taken a 180-degree turn, thanks to God and intercessory prayer. Now an evangelist, she is delivered from her past and has been living for Him for thirty years and counting.

    "Then and Now" is a true account of God's power to deliver us from the bondage of evil.

    It is sure to encourage you as you see a perfect example of God the Potter transforming a tattered life into a beautiful work of art, free from the enemy.

    God can free you too. He can war off all attacks of the enemy, past, present and future. There is nothing too big for God to handle. So whatever you are facing, trust Him and see what He can do in your life. To God be the glory.

      Foreword

      For such a time as this, God has allowed Evangelist Bonnie Baker to write her life story. This book is a must for many in the body of Christ who are struggling with their past. Then and Now reveals the awesome delivering power of God through steadfast intercessory prayer. Evangelist Baker is a perfect example of 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

      As many people read this book, they will be delivered and set free. Unanswered questions will be answered, and many will be better equipped to handle the adversity that is to come. The light will be shed on the truth because, according to John 8:36, If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

      I have had the privilege of knowing Bonnie Baker personally. I walked with her sister as she stood in the gap and travailed until God brought forth deliverance. There remains no residue of evangelist Baker’s past in her.

      God has released her to reveal the tricks of the enemy and how to recognize his lies so God’s people can walk in total victory. This book also reveals how God has a purpose and a plan for our lives, and how when a person is totally sold out to God, He can use him or her in a mighty way.

      I believe that as you read this book and obey God’s Word, He will bless you as He has Bonnie Baker. It’s stated in Deuteronomy 28:13: And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them.

      Preface

      Often the Spirit of the Lord will save and raise up a certain, unknown woman or man, someone who is not in every bookstore or on every bookshelf, someone who is not in the marketplace. The Spirit will do this so God can get ALL the glory (as in The New Testament) with a testimony that has the ability and power to go into the spirit and bring deliverance, victory and salvation to the multitudes.

      Such is the case with this woman of God, a woman who has paid the price and dedicated her life to the work of the Lord. She has traveled the world ministering in churches, preaching, teaching and sharing her life stories to bring deliverance to thousands for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

      Bonnie Baker will capture your attention in such a way that you will find new hope to believe and trust the Lord when it comes to your loved ones. You will realize that nothing is impossible with God if you don’t give up, you continue to trust the timing of the Lord, and you lean not on your own understanding but lean and depend on His lead.

      As you read this book, you will laugh, cry and pray as you see the power of the Lord set free and mold this vessel. You will see Bonnie Baker’s life as it was, torn and broken, bring her face to face with the living God of Israel to begin the metamorphosis of her life into a new person, a vessel of honor fit for the master’s use and glory.

      I encourage you to be bold and believe God for your loved ones and know that difficulties shall come to pass. He loves you and wants you to have household salvation.

      Your co-laborer in the Gospel and biological sister,
