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
The Refiner’s Fire makes things pure. It purges out all that offends, it’s actually good for us. For in a vessel that has been purified by that fire, it’s content will remain uncontaminated, it’s safe to receive what the flows forth from that vessel.
Matthew 6:23,24
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Two sources. One with the intent to kill, steal, and destroy. The other with the ability to control the works of darkness and keep them from moving against that which God has established in the word for life. If we lean hard on the law of love, ( and it is a definite law), then we gain authority to posses the reigns of our circumstances and snap then in line with his word. If we cast off the law of love and let the law of hate envelope us. We are plunged under servitude to the most devious, tormentor that exists. For just when it seems you’ve been justified by natural retribution, the rug is pulled out once again and death rains down leaving devastation and calamity in its wake. True Love knows that God will avenge and remains in control.
1JOHN 5:14,15
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
Related to the Covenant of God’s Love we stand. Walking circumspectly, loving, we raise our hands, giving unto Him the adoration which is wise, but through the diligent obedience of walking in love, He sustains our lives. Quietness and assurance are byproducts foretold, held in reserve for those who love from their heart and not just their soul. This is the righteousness of God.
1:John 4:7,8
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Isaiah 32:16-17
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
There is a song that says, “To the utmost, Jesus Saves.” And how true this has proven to be down through the ages. Men calling on Him with all their hearts, have found salvation from illnesses, salvation from calamity, Salvation from violent acts, and not only that, salvation from eternal separation from God. Isn’t that wonderful? I say it is, and best yet, He is still saving today! He’s just looking for hearts that are determined to see His movements for them in the here and now. Why, that could be you! Why don’t you call on Him, with all of your heart. Then watch Him become your Wonderful Savior as well.
11 This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:11,12
God is in love with people. The grandest of all His creation, made in the very image and made like Himself. When He created man, He dreamed of a family. A family that would love Him as much as He loved them. Oh but He still has that dream. You see He’s dreaming of you. Your in his thoughts continually. Oh yes many have answered His call, but… He’s waiting on you. Won’t you answer that call by receiving His son Jesus into your heart. Your life will take on new meaning and so will His.
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
They are station everywhere. Just waiting for you to give the command. If you are silent, they will not swing into action. They are hearkening to the voice of God’s word spoken by you. Defenders of your faith. Constant surveillance to your property. Having the ability to take out the enemies opposing forces. What will your declaration be?
Psalms 103:20
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Hebrews 1:14
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 2:1 2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip
There is a dividing line in the the heart and in the mind of every child of God who has defined, the wonder working power of in, the blood of Jesus Christ for men.
Just as in the land of Goshen, when the destroying angel ravaged the land, those who put the blood of the lamb, upon their doorpost were shielded by God’s Mighty hand. Now through the blood of Jesus Christ, a more thorough protection; a perseveration of life, There’s a major thrust to proclaim this WORD this hour, for The blood will never ever loose it’s power
Apply his blood to your heart, and be born again, then rest under the shelter of the blood of the lamb
Exodus 12:13a
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you,
Hebrews 9:11-15
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
We saw battle, we saw war, we saw skirmishes both near and far, but the epic battle that is about to come, is already over before it begun. We know the end from the beginning. Change the direction of your thinking. You can walk in Satan’s defeat right now.
Col. 2:15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross
There’s nothing like the reassuring words of our Lord! From age to age He is faithful to all that call upon Him in a honest and pure heart. Let that be you today.
John 14:1
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
