Greetings my dear internet Yola friends. I am typing this posting to encourage people who are hurting in the world today. Whether it is health, financial, or an abuse situation, I want to encourage you, that things can be better. I am specifically aiming this for abused individuals. Maybe you grew up in a home, where you were abused physically, emotionally, sexually, or verbally. There is help at your fingertips. Maybe sometime in your life, you were raped. I would like to recommend a few books and their authors.
First of all, "Run For Your Life", by Elisabeth Freeman. You may find how to purchase it on her website which is: <http;//atime2heal.org> She has other very helpful information for troubled teenagers. She works to help stop bullying in the younger generation.
Secondly, "Good Mourning", by Wendy Simon. This book is about her life, having grown up in an abusing household. She was abused sexually, physically, emotionally, and verbally. She shares about her life, and of how she survived those years, made some wrong decisions, and how she overcame these difficult years by seeking Christian counseling. You may contact her through the publisher of the book.
Thirdly, "Freedom In Christ", and "Freedom From Addiction" by, Dr. Neil T. Anderson. He is the founder of, Freedom In Christ Ministries which is here in the United States and Worldwide. In the book, "Freedom From Addiction", you will find how you can gain freedom from any addictive behavior, or addictions like, pornographic materials of any type, drinking, smoking, drugs, etc.! There is a specific scripture I would like to share. It is, John 8:32-36, and I would like to specifically mention verse 32. If we find the truth, being God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, by finding and accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we can be totally free of our past. We can be free from the abuse we have experienced in our lives. We can be free or find the freedom from any current abusing situation in our lives.
Maybe we are living in an abusing relationship or marriage. Dear internet friends, "Seek to be free; for freedom is awaiting you." Our past need not control our future. Jesus loves you, and He can bring healing to your broken and or torn emotions. If this doesn't apply to you, maybe you know of an abused child, wife, friend, someone who has been a rape victim, molested, or they live with an alcoholic member of the family.
I am directing this posting to encourage any person, whether abused, or you are the abuser. Seek help for the abused, or seek help for yourself as the abuser. I only desire to encourage the hurting in the world today. These books and the organization recommended, are available on the internet. We have such wonderful technology today at our fingertips. There are people, books, and many organizations available. Remember, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." Help is only a prayer, website, or telephone call away.
In the book, "Good Mourning", the author, Wendy Simon, lists many helpful organizations and reading materials on of of this subject matter. Hopefully, this posting will give you some encouragement upon reading it. God bless you, as you take the first step to receiving or getting help. Having been molested as a young girl, I know a person can break free from their past. Unknown to me during my younger married years, there was sexual abuse in my own home during the raising of my three now adult children.
Oh dearest internet and Yola friends, do know, "Help for you in this hurting world", is close at hand. Do take the first step. If you or you know of anyone involved in abuse, seek help for the abused or report the abuser. There is help no matter who the person, whether they are a child or adult. Help is available and is at one's fingertips. God bless each and everyone of you. I pray over all of my postings, so know Jesus loves you. We live in a fallen world, and people have a choice. It isn't God's fault what happens, but He can turn a terrible situation or experience totally around. You can become a victor and live a victorious life with the help of, God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit..

An article I wrote in a newsletter, while I had been an associate minister at, "Upper Room Ministries", of Mason City, Iowa. It was published in the church monthly newsletter in the spring of 1998.
"TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A PURPOSE!"
As a former pastor's wife, I would like to share God's faithfulness. (Psalm 36:5) During my first pastorate, a car ran over my oldest daughter at the ripe old age of nine. She was dragged over two blocks, because her jacket had caught under the man's car. We d...

This is quite awesome Yola friends.
How much God loves all of His children.
Jesus took my place, the Son of God,
For me life's thorny path He trod.
He took my place, O joy divine,
That I can call this Savior mine!
When I shall see Him face to face
I'll praise His name, who took my place.

The vision unfolding..........
In the Spirit, I was just above a scene, as Jesus was riding the colt into Jerusalem. I could hear the excitement of the crowd. I could hear the shouts of hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest. All of a sudden, the people began waiving and throwing down the palm branches just before Jesus was carried right in front of them. There were so many people to behold, that I couldn't possibly ever number them. As I gazed upon this scene, Jesus became closer and c...

The Vision Unfolding.............
In the Spirit, I was brought to the road where Jesus Christ was carrying the cross up the hill called Golgatha, which is also known as the place of the skull. (Mathew 27:33-35) All of a sudden, I knew where I was standing. I was standing right next to Jesus' mother and Mary Magdaline. I could feel the sadness, as we all continued to look upon our precious Jesus, as He walked by us. He proceeded to look straight in our direction. He spoke ever so tenderly,...

The Vision Unfolding.......
In the Spirit, I was in a meeting in a large church of many thousands of people. All of a sudden, I looked up towards the ceiling. It glowed quite bright due to the gold trim. I then saw a very exquisite collectible blanket completely covering the entire ceiling.
Then, to my excitement, this blanket began falling down from hoovering up next to the ceiling. It was falling down over the entire congregation of people. The precious Holy Spirit always uses the most v...

Scene One:
In the Spirit, I was taken into a large foyer of a high quality office building. I stepped in through its revolving doors. Upon getting inside, I was drawn to look straight ahead of my body. I could see two escalators, one going up, and the other going down.
All of a sudden, I was led to stand in front of the escalator going up. It was made of gold metal. A huge white angel stood in front of it. He was glowing ever so brightly. I saw him holding a larg...
