My hearts’ desire is to share with you, about being a missionary and how I knew. And of my calling, to being made sure, partaking of his divine nature, and yet there’s more. But first, the knowing.
I have been saved over 30 years. I had a very dramatic new birth experience. God’s presence
came into my room and surrounded me. It felt like pulsating waves of warmth and living love
saturating my entire being. I was so thrilled that God was real, and that he had answered a
simple prayer. “Do you still love me? I need a bible, I don’t have one.” Oh, I was brought up in church as a little girl. But at age 18 everything changed.
After saying that simple prayer, I seemed to be impressed to turn on the television. A minister
was on. He pointed his finger at the screen and said, “Did you know that God still loves you?
And if you need a bible we’ll send you one.” That sent shock waves through my very being that God would answer in such a way. The minister led in a prayer for salvation. Then said,” you
must go tell people what God has done for you.” Needless to say, that sent me on my way.
Immediately I began to share what happened to me as I caught the bus back and forth.
People began to give their hearts to the Lord. I was so excited to tell them. I would ask them
would you like Jesus to come into your heart? And one by one would pray the salvation prayer
At the same time, I began an exhaustive study of the word of God. Night and day, I just
couldn’t seem to get enough of his word; I joined myself to a wonderful denominational church. They taught me what they knew. God bless them! I learned a great deal from them. In times of
quietness I would ask God questions. And to my amazement, someone would walk up to me at the bus stop; not even knowing my thoughts and would answer the very question that was rolling around in my head! How my heart would race with excitement in seeing him answer me in such unusual ways. My zeal you see is not without precedent.
I continued my studies and came among those who had a deeper relationship still. And as I
studied and learned about the Holy Spirit and his gift, God began to speak to me. Sometimes in 2
visions, sometimes in dreams, sometimes his tender voice on the inside. He led me in a teaching ministry to children youth and even mission groups in the early 80’s. In the denomination I was brought up in, they would have made me district superintendent of Sunday school. Then I also was asked to speak for the missionary departments in various district meetings. My great aunt was the missionary president at our local church. Yet the Lord was calling me deeper. In one
vision the Lord said I have called you to preach. I said you mean teach? He replied, “no, I said preach”. Then I began preparing sermons and my church did not believe in women preachers, so I asked a minister of another denomination what to do? He said obey the Lord. I began preaching in the nursing homes in the city jail and in Women’s Aglow meetings occasionally. I didn’t
separate myself from my church, I continued to serve in the capacity that they could receive.
Eventually I went to Rhema bible training Center in Tulsa Ok and graduated from school of
Pastor studies I would have gone on to their school of world missions, but God said to go home. Help my Dad and that there was a church in LA he would send me to. But back in the early 80’s I knew I was called to help the pastor, and I have worked with a few. I knew back in the 80’s that I would one day go to Singapore, Beijing, and the Philippines. The Lord has instructed me also to teach on Faith, the Gifts of the Spirit, Love and Prayer and healing. I have a Facebook page with about 4 years of material that you can look at. I’m learning how to create a website and blog posts. There’s over 40 groups that I already post in all over the world.
There is nothing like having confidence in knowing your purpose and being challenged to
make your calling an election sure. To the second part of the question, I’m learning to give all diligence; in adding to my faith virtue: and to virtue more knowledge. I thank God for these
wonderful classes. I can’t wait to learn how to put a seminar together and run a revival. And to knowledge temperance. And to temperance patience: And to patience Godliness. Oh, the riches of his grace, to teach us so that one day we shall see his face. And to Godliness brotherly and 3
sisterly kindness. And to all these things love. For I know if these things be in me and abound, as the scripture says, “… I will never stumble” 2 Peter 2:10
I have endeavored to give a two-fold answer the question’s set before. I pray that something said would fuel your fire even more. How I knew, and in deep relationship I did procure. And with continued diligence and the grace of God, I will make my calling sure.spirit
God is looking throughout his ranks to find those who are free enough to look into the heart of the other person. Once the heart’s secrets are revealed, the root cause of their oppression can be dealt with. Never assume the worst of an individual, God has given you His Spirit to present a way of restoration and mercy. You and he can affect and find the wisdom that opens the heart up once again to righteousness.
1 Cor. 14:24,25
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: 25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
When we think about the nations, we see what the Prophets have prophesied. If we Look in the book of Daniel, the Angel Gabriel gave him a detailed account of the nations as they relate to his people and what would befall them. Gabriel was very specific; going as far as to share the events on there succession . Starting in the 10th chapter of Daniel Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, but the appointed time was long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
We Also see the Apostle John who had prophetic insight, on the Isle of Patmos receive confirmation of what had been declared to Daniel and further Revelation as to what would befall the nations as they affect his people and the church.
As you read through history books,l every word progressively has been coming to pass. Were these Prophets able to change the things that would befall the nations? Not directly, but indirectly, because of their love for God, we have perfect insight as to what will befall all men. Also because of their obedience God had a pure voice to give men warning to amend their ways.
Some things are unchangeable at this point, however would you be that pure voice to lead men and women to Christ? This could help them change their destiny, if they are willing.
Revelation 10:5-7
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Did you know to affect a miraculous change in your life, you start out hoping against a hopeless situation ? Hmmm, that sounds like a paradox yet it’s a soberingly truth. God says to go, and you haven’t been able to move for years. God says to speak forth, but you have been plagued with stuttering, or slurred speech. I think about how the Lord spoke to the priests in Joshua’s day to go over the Jordan river, and the river at that time was at flood stage. They were to step forward because their mission was on the other side. As they stepped forward the waters of the Jordan stood up in a heap and they walked across on dry land. I think even before that time, of the children of Israel whom God lead out of Egypt from slavery. They seemingly were hemmed in by the Red Sea. Then Moses cried unto the Lord and the Lord said, “why are you crying out to me, go forward,” in so many words. What appeared to be a simple statement of the Lord, became a hopping against hope situation where their faith was tested by Movement.
Hoping against hope is rarely seen, when the task at hand is in your means. However, take all natural solutions out, then it’s hoping against hope or fear and doubt. Many people are in similar situations today, but just as God kept you in the past, his track record is your hope, just go forward in faith, and the testimony that you receive will set you in a greater place. Speaking of Abraham:
Romans 4:18-22
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness
Be mindful to keep that in the forefront of your thinking. God is a merciful God. Once again, God is a merciful God. You my have started your course and gotten off track, but God is in the business of getting you back. He is locked on your coordinates and is reeling you in, so that you won’t suffer, so that you can work for him. That big fish was sent to protect Jonah from drowning in the deep. Then once he prayed that fish swam towards shore and spit him out. Don’t allow the devil to say, “you’ve had it, I will destroy you today.” No, God is getting ready to move with you at the helm.
Jonah 2:8-10
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Please understand, God never requires anything of us that He won’t back up. If we are required to walk in Love, He is too. In other words; if He said that He would vindicate you, He will. If he said that no weapon formed against you can prosper, then It won’t. If He said, Behold I have given you authority over power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you, then regardless of the attacks, how great or small, God has declared that He would destroy the affects of them all. So stay in submission to love; which is honoring and obeying his word. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Psalm 91:16 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation
Some of these are still being written. I definitely feel your prayers and support in the Spirit. Love You.
Dreams from long ago, are coming to pass. God has opened the floodgates of heaven. Works, works, works are being done. What am I talking about? I am talking about books for all age groups. God is the Master Designer, the Master Architect, the Author and finisher or our Faith through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Did you know this is your clarion call? Did you know God has the plan for one and all? Open up your heart once again to his will. Then let him Author and Finish your Faith. The Sons and Daughters of God were created and destined to run and control this place! Get a Daughter and Son of God mindset. Get up on the inside now. Put you hand back to the plow. This can be your finest hour.You are in our prayers night and day. You can make it if you step into the river.
John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Oh, how this can be your song if you allow Jesus to come inside and make His abode with you. His greatest hearts desire is to hold you close, and tell you, “ everything will be alright now. “ Safe in His arms, he is a shelter from the storms. But far greater then that, on your last day upon the earth, you will have confidence that you will step over and live with him eternally.
Amid the attacks against the message of the Gifts, we Persevere. My Greatest desire was for you to hear the Seminar this weekend, however the programing was off. I had this series available several months ago, when I attempted to air it, many technical issues arose. With that being said, it’s playing now, and I will permit it to play for several days. Press in with us to get the message out so that the body of Christ can mature in this area.. We believe that we can count on your prayers to press things through God bless.
Apostle Alberta Richard
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
You can depend upon him. He Will take you up. He will hold you in Arms. He will comfort, counsel and keep you. How do I know? When I was down, and could not see my way, the Lord picked me up, and helped me to go another day. He reached down in my heart, and he pulled out all of Satan’s fiery darts. And instead of me passing out, he performed CPR resuscitating me physically and spirituality. You see, he poured in the healing balm. He healed all the bruising that was beneath the layers of skin that men did not see. He stood me upright on my feet, and caused me to breathe again. Friends I don’t preach to be seen or for fame or fortune. I preach out of deep Covenant Love for a friend that sticks closer than a brother. My Father God, my Precious Brother the Lord and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And to the Sweet Comforter, the Precious Holy Spirit who causes me to laugh and dance and be filled with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. God who has set me on my high places approaches you today. You can live again, and live well.
Romans 15:12
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
That’s what takes place when you walk in the fullness of the Gospel. That includes the Holy Spirit and his gifts. We are so happy to have presented to you on the Regeneration Ministry Radio The Gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is a dream come true to be able to fulfill part of my commission by instructing the church and refreshing others concerning the gifts. If you really want to jump ahead with God and soar above many of the plots of wickedness, then listen to these teachings over and over. I will replay them this weekend on the Radio station. They can be listen to on my YouTube Channel, “Through the Years”. They will do your heart good
