"ENCOURAGEMENT FOR A HURTING WORLD!"

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:27:52 +0100

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..

"TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A PURPOSE!"

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 19:48:57 +0100

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 drove her to Mayo Clinic of, Rochester, Minnesota. Due to the seriousness of her injuries, she almost died so many times. She wasn't expected to survive. We saw God's miraculous power at work many times. At the time of the original article, she was then 26 years old. At the time of this posting, she is 41 years old with her husband and two children.

Many people found Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, were healed, delivered, and encouraged during the time of this entire accident experience. (I Peter 4:12)

Another time our family was in an automobile accident after a night of church ministry visitation. My husband was severely injured. He had to begin using a cane to aid him in walking. Our children and myself, were miraculously spared any injuries.

Shortly before the accident, we had had a house fire. When people came to pray and encourage us, they in turn returned home being blessed themselves. Our town rallied around us in prayer and kindnesses. Satan was trying to kill the fire of God in us, but it burned ever more brighter. As it is said in the Bible, "He is out to rob, kill, and destroy." What satan meant to destroy our family and ministry, God turned it around for His glory.

After a few years, my husband and I accepted a different pastorate down south. The people of that church enjoyed the moving of the Holy Spirit's gifts, but didn't practice what they heard preached and believed. (Lev. 20:7) We turned in our resignation exactly two years later. We returned to our home, which we still owned. We went back into evangelism.

Some time later, we started a church in another state from a home Bible study. During this pastorate, my husband was injured in another automobile accident. He was trying to save the other passengers in the car. He was bed-ridden for almost two years. He attended the services once every few weeks, being dressed and carried in his special wheelchair by the men of the church. During his gradual recovery, my older daughter and I, were the substitute pastors.

His health began to decline once again, and he only preached occasionally. He became legally blind from his diabetes. We found our church another pastor, and we resigned this pastorate. My husband, myself, and our three children, moved back to our home we still owned in Iowa. He died only three days after we arrived.

I was invited to visit, "Upper Room Ministries", of, Mason City, Iowa, where Rev. Pam Runge-Stockman, was and still is the senior pastor and founder. She operates in the five-fold ministry spoken about by the apostle Paul in the New Testament of the Bible.

She heard prophetically from the Holy Spirit exactly what I needed at this point of time in my life. I attended her local church until I moved to Minnesota to live closer to my three adult children. Not knowing at the time, that I later would be invited to be an associate pastor of this ministry.

My son was a drug and alcohol abuser during these years, because my deceased husband had abused him sexually, physically, emotionally, and verbally during his younger years. He confessed, while at a re-had center, that this had aided him to be of the homosexual persuasion. Needless to say, I was totally devastated, but I drew my daily strength from God.

Thanks to the prayers of my pastor, Rev. Pam Runge-Stockman, ministry friends, family, and other friends, I became an
overcomer during these trials. In the book of Peter in the Holy Bible, (I Peter 5:7) , it speaks of how God cares. There is a verse about fiery trials, also. We are to grow from our trials, tribulations, or challenges we experience in our lives.

To everything there truly is a purpose for each one of us. Joseph, in the Old Testament of the Bible, didn't know his true purpose of his being sold into slavery, until many years later, after he was promoted to Governor in Pharaoh's court.

Jesus Christ is our living water. He will quench our spiritual thirst. The key is, that we must look and seek Him. Upper Room Ministries, is one of His fountains of hope, where anyone who experiences thirst, can and will have it quenched. You can be filled; for all you have to do is ask, seek, and knock. God is always only a breath or prayer away.

In closing:

The purpose of our life's trials and challenges, is to help us achieve our full potential in, with, and for Christ. I would like to recommend a book for you. "Your Best Life Now", by Pastor Joel Osteen, of Lakewood Church of, Houston, Texas. Also, take the time to look up "Upper Room Ministries" of, Mason City, Iowa. Rev. Pam Runge_Stockman, ministers to any and all who contact her via the postal service, internet, and the ministry telephone. She has all of the needed information on her website. She operates in all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and all of the prophetic words she has prayed and spoken over my life, have always been accurate. Should you need direction or conformation to something God has laid on your heart, give her a call. Just know that she is quite busy, because this is a worldwide ministry. She will get back to you as soon as she is able.

God bless each and everyone who reads this Blog posting, because I have and always pray while typing them. Sincerely a friend of Jesus' and yours, darlilnliz11

"FOOD FOR THOUGHT!"

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 19:05:08 +0100

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.

"TRIUMPHANT ENTRY OF JESUS CHRIST!"

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:02:09 +0100

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 closer to the gate of Jerusalem.

Explanation:

This one scene shorter vision, portrays what a mighty Jesus we serve. It impressed my heart just how much Jesus Christ loved all of us. He knew what lay ahead, but He continued in obedience to the Father's plan for mankind's redemption for their sin. Oh, my internet friends, don't wait too long. Whether man believes it or not, Jesus Christ is coming back again. Are you ready to meet Jesus? He takes us just where we are in our lives. We don't have to clean up our act and then go before Him. After we turn our lives to Him by accepting Him as our personal Savior and making Him Lord of our life, He comes into our hearts. From this day forward, He will never be more than a breath or prayer away.

"A SHEEPFOLD VISION OF JESUS' LOVE!"

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:48:52 +0100

The vision unfolding.............

In the Spirit, I was just above a large herd of sheep. all of a sudden, I looked just behind them. Some of them were running to my right. Just behind this group, was the most beautiful white and glowing dog. It was nipping at the heels of each one of them, as all of them kept stampeding. then, I quickly was drawn to look towards the left of this herd of sheep. I saw the most ugly black dog nipping at the heels of this group. As they would try and run to my right, this black dog nipped even harder at their heels and very deep made wounds. I could hear their scream of fright; for there wasn't anything they could to to turn away from the black dog's control.

Explanation:

The beautiful and glowing white dog herding the white sheep to my right, represented our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The sheep heading to the right, represented the saints of God who had accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior sometime during their life. The terribly ugly black dog, represented the devil, and he was herding sheep heading to my left to usher them into hell. "It was too late!" These people had had at least one opportunity during his or her lifetime to accept and follow Jesus Christ. These sheep were being prevented from changing direction and heading to my right, where the dog representing Jesus Christ our Savior, was herding those sheep to their eternal destiny in heaven. It was like there was a wall of partition splitting the sheep herd right down the middle.

Scene II

All of a sudden in the Spirit, I was seeing a second scene. I looked just in front of the group of sheep heading to my right. I saw a huge sheepfold. It was so very large that any amount of sheep could fit into it. I could scarcely see the right or left side of the pen. Then I heard a huge commotion. I could hear the sheep, as they began to gather in this sheepfold. Oh what excitement this viewing was to behold.

Explanation:

This scene represented our eternal heavenly home. The sheep coming towards and entering this sheepfold, were the ones who would be spending the rest of eternity with their great Shepherd Jesus Christ; for He says in scripture, "My sheep hear my voice."

Scene III:

All of a sudden, I could see a third scene. I could hear the sound of one little lost sheep crying out for its master to come and rescue it. Praise the name of Jesus! I saw the beautiful white and glowing dog run towards it. He began nipping ever so tenderly at its heels to get it headed back to the pen; for it had gotten lost but only for a short time. The love of our Great Shepherd is so awesome and cannot be measured. He immediately rescued the little lost lamb. He is the great Lamb of God. He came down to earth, ministered, suffered, died, but He arose that we may have life and have it more abundantly. God loved us ever so much dear ones.

Explanation:

One little lamb accidentally strayed on the way to the sheepfold. Our Savior immediately heard its cry for help. Jesus Christ loves each and everyone of us. He loves us all so very much that He watches over everyone. The little lost lamb being rescued, shows us how much Jesus Christ desires all of us to make heaven our home for all eternity.

Sharing:

This vision showed me how much our loving Jesus Christ cares for all people. The sheep were us as individuals. We all have to make a personal decision for Jesus Christ. We can not go to heaven unless we do. In the Word of God, there are many ways and examples of how much He loves and cares for all of mankind. He did not create hell for people. He created it for the devil and his fallen angels. Man has turned from Jesus and followed the way of the world. There is still time my friends, as it states in, II Chron. 7:14, for mankind to cry out for forgiveness. God will heal their land. I trust these visions of the sheepfold, are a blessing and encourage you to follow Jesus. I trust you realize how much Jesus Christ loves you. Question: Are you ready to meet Jesus? He is coming soon! If you were put on trial for your faith in Jesus Christ, would their be enough evidence to convict you? I ask myself this second question often. Prayers and blessings to each and everyone who is led via the tag words to read this vision.

"A CLOWN PARADE OF BLESSINGS!"

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:28:52 +0100

The vision unfolding.............

In the Spirit, I was brought to the side of a very busy street in a large metropolitan city of America. Suddenly, I knew there was a huge and exciting parade taking place. I could see thousands of people of all nationalities and tongue lined up on both sides of the street, as far as one's eyes could possibly see. Then, I looked towards the center of the place where I was standing. I could see many different clowns walking by smiling, as they threw thousands of pieces of various sized candies. People were pushing and shoving one another; for they all wanted a piece of the action. (candy) I saw the clowns had large buckets full to the brim of these candies. No need to worry; for Jesus always has plenty.

Explanation:

The parade represented our daily lives. The clowns with their smiles and laughter, represented how much God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit love each one of us. I could here one of the clowns say, "Take eat; for there is plenty of every size." All you have to do is reach out and pick it up. Don't worry or be concerned; for we will not run out." The various sized candy, represented the various trials and tribulations we experience as believers or unbelievers. The various sized candies, represented all types and sizes of blessings, for those who known Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and live Godly lives before Him awaiting His return. (I Peter 4:12)

Sharing:

Dearest internet friends, no matter what you are facing in your life, whether health or finances, our God is never to busy to take care of you. No matter what the size of your trial, He can take care of it. Nothing is too difficult for our Lord. I am not a professional whatsoever, but I believe I was to share this vision posting to encourage each one of you. Jesus is waiting to save the lost, and He is waiting to bless His saints with meeting all of their needs. Are you ready to meet my precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Remember dear ones, Jesus saves, keeps, and satisfies. The key here being, we must let Him. He wants to be served because we love Him. We have been given the freedom of choice. We have to reach out to Him, and He will reach out to us. (Phil. 4:6;) (James 1:4)

"GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE VISION!"

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:08:14 +0100

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, as spoken in, Luke 23:28-31, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but wep for yourselves and for your children. "For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, "Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!" Then they will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us." "For they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry."

Explanation:

I believe I was allowed to experience this vision of the walk to Golgatha, to help me realize the depths of the heaviness of Jesus" mother's heart, but that she knew this was a fulfillment of what Jesus came to earth to complete for our eternal redemption. It was to help me feel even closer to our Savior. It was to help me share this with others and help our world know just how much He loved us. He could have called ten thousand angels, but He died alone, that we might be free, free. Free my dear people. We can be free of the weight of the sin that so easily besets us. Praise the name of Jesus!

"THE BLANKET OF THE HOLY SPIRIT"

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:53:26 +0100

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 valuable and precious materials for any of the visions I see. The blanket was soaked in water, which typifies the drenching of the awesome anointing that came from the praise and worship of the people.

Explanation:

In this one scene action vision I call it, the Holy Spirit was expressing His presence all throughout the entire congregation. It was such a huge auditorium. The praise and worship during the service was awesome. I could feel it similar to a mist as rain was falling during a beautiful early morning day in the summer.
Psalm 45:17; Psalm 34:1; Psalm 67:3; Psalm 150:6

"ESCALATOR VISION INVITATION!"

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 18:39:45 +0100

The vision unfolding.....

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 large book. I knew it was the Lambs Book of Life, which is spoken about in the Holy Bible. (Exodus 32:32) (Psalm 69:18)

As I stood before him, he was thumbing through its pages. He proceeded to look for my name, while holding a pointer in his hand. He smiled at me, for he had located my name written therein. With his pen made of gold, he checked of my name. He waived me to step onto the escalator.

I knew what was happening. I was being welcomed to my heavenly home. I had accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior as a young girl. I stepped onto the escalator. In a split second, I was at the top. The light was so bright, as I stepped forward.

Immediately, a second white angel stepped up to greet me. I could sense his excitement. He smiled, as he took my hands into his. He was sent to give me the grand tour of my heavenly home. I could hear the sounds of laughter, happiness, and much excitement, as more and more people began arriving.

Scene Two:

In the Spirit, I was once again down at the entrance of the office building. As I stepped inside, I was drawn to look towards the escalator to the left which was coming down. I heard sounds of crying and earth shattering screams. This escalator was filled to capacity. People were pushing and shoving one another. Many stumbled, as they tried to go back up. It was too late! Such heat could be felt, as it came up towards the people.

I knew what had happened. These people's names coming down, hadn't been found in the Lambs Book of Life. There were flames burning up and down each railing. The cries for help, were of the people in terror. Two large black angels prohibited the people entering the room at the top. I could hear these angels laughter, as they continued their mission
for Satan.

Explanation:

In Scene one, I saw the redemptive story, which Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross. I was shown the future, if a person had accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior during their lifetime.
(John 3:16) (I John 1:9) (Romans 3:23) (Romans 6:23) (Romans 8:9,10) (Acts 16:310)

In Scene two,, I was shown what happens, if a person rejects Jesus Christ. There was no turning back. Once the people turned Him away, their destiny was sealed for eternity. Their voices of terror, rang through my entire being. I could feel a sadness in my heart, as I watched the white angels turn them away.

Dear internet friends, Jesus Christ is only a prayer away. Just use the gospel ABC'S. Accept what Jesus Christ did on the cross, believe what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross, and confess any sin brought to your attention by the Holy Spirit. You shall receive eternal life. You shall have your name added to the Lambs Book of Life. Isn't this awesome? Isn't Jesus Christ precious, for obeying the Father's purpose?
(Matthew 18:8) (Jude 23)

I believe I was given this vision for a purpose, that I must share the love of Jesus Christ, while it is yet day. As believers in Him, we are to do as the prophet Ezekiel. We are to warn the world today, "Be ready", for Jesus Christ is coming soon! Are you ready to meet Jesus? Dear christian, if you were put on trial for your faith in Jesus Christ, would there be enough evidence found to convict you? I ask myself the same question.

"JESUS' AND THE OPERATING ROOM VISION"

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 19:46:31 +0100

The vision unfolding.....

Scene One:

In the Spirit, I was standing outside of an operating room. Engraved on a brass plate on the door, it said, Heaven's Operating Room. I was looking through a small window in the door. I was in the front of a line of many people. I could hear the sounds of their voices and feel the excitement in the air.

As I peered through the window, I could see a glowing individual standing at the head of an operating room table. There were huge white angels on both sides assisting in an operation. I knew who this glowing individual was at the time. I had seen Him in many other visions. He was Jesus Christ the great Physician. (I Peter 2:24) (Isaiah 53:5) (Matthew 4:24)

Scene Two:

In the Spirit, I was led to look above the operating table. There was an open heart surgery taking place. The bright and glowing surgeon, whom I knew to be Jesus, was very carefully stitching up the chest of a patient. He had completed the surgery and proceeded to close the incision. Each angel assistant followed His instructions to every detail.

All of a sudden, like an assembly line, the angel assistants transferred the patient to another table to go back to recovery. I could hear the sound of this quite well, as I continued to look down.

Scene Three:

I was led to once again look towards the door of the operating room. I watched, as an angel assistant proceeded to walk to the door, open it, and wheel in the next patient. As he pulled in the next person on the gurney, I could hear the excitement of the others, as they waited to be called. I noticed the hallway was standing room only.

Explanation:

The operating room of heaven represents the availability of healing, whether physical, emotional, or financially. Mankind can take all of their needs to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we ask in faith, not doubting in our heart, He will answer our prayers.

I believe I was shown this vision for a purpose, and it was to share it with all peoples. Our marvelous technology of today, makes the internet possible. As we go to God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit with our needs and believe in faith, He will take care of us.

He will not leave nor forsake His children. Sometimes He does not answer our prayers the way we think He should and could. Sometimes He doesn't answer within our time table, but dear people, He will answer. Praise His glorious name.

Dear internet friends, God loves each and every one of us. As we bring our needs or burdens to the cross and leave them there, He will meet us where we are. (Isaiah 53:1-5)

If you were led to read this vision, it is because Jesus Christ desires you to know He loves you. God loved you so much that He gave His only begotten Son to suffer and die on the cross, but, praise God, "He arose!" He is ready and waiting. Bring your sorrows and all of your needs to Him, because He cares for you. Jesus Christ is only a prayer away!
