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
No smoother travel can can err be sought, nor greater vision can there be caught, then that His vision for your life, press on in service the Jesus the Christ.
Hebrews 10:32-36
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; 33 Partly whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. 34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Once strife and bitterness guarded the palace of one mans life, sorrow and grief were within. But hearing of Jesus, this man received insight, then that bitterness and strife was replace with love, joy and peace, which brought great delight. Now these things guard his palace; his heart, his surroundings. And In the changing of the guard, he is brought before rulers dignitaries and kings.
2 Peter 1:8-11 For these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
What you say is extremely important. Your words are what make you like God. So be mindful of what you say. Pause and think, and definitely pray. Once those words are released in the atmosphere, you need to go to God if they are of a negative orientation and asked that they be cancelled. He’s a big God and able to do that if your heart is in your request. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews. 11:1 This being the case, we rejoice! Everything may look the same. It even may appear to be growing darker and drear. But since we have established our hearts in the truth of God’s promises, we give glory to God through faith’s expression of Joy. Satan can’t do anything with us when we respond continually in joy in his word. No. Blessings and a long satisfying life are ours.
Psalms 91:16
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him ( that’s her too) my salvation.
You didn’t realize that when you began to prove God and his faithfulness, that the currents would be soo strong, they just pulled you out into the abundance of all that God had for you! This is my testimony. Whew! Now keep on proving the Lord and you will be out to sea before you know it.
Psalm 89:1
89 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
You want to fix or fastened your ear-gate and your eye-gate tightly giving no room for evil reports to breakthrough against the word of God. In so doing, you sure up your miracle and you possess what many are so desiring to achieve.
Duet. 6;6-9
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 Andthou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
When all the dust settles, you will see that the Lord God creator of the now and eternity:
rules over the earth. The words that he has spoken from the beginning are being demonstrated as we speak. In Matthew 25, read the parable of the ten virgins, the parable of the talents, the parable of the sheep and the goats
2 Samuel 22:31 KJV Translation
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
GWTranslation
31 God’s way is perfect! The promise of the LORD has proven to be true. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
BSB Translation
31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Jochebed
Exodus 2 The Mother Of Moses when she saw that he was a goodly child, hid her son for three months not fearing the decree that all the male babies should be destroyed. Then set him in an ark made of bulrushes, committing him to God. Before it was all over, she ended up nursing her own son for the Pharaohs daughter. And got paid to do it at the same time. Then God raised him up to be the deliverer of his people Exodus 2:9
Hanna
1 Samuel 1,2; 2:21
The mother that had Samuel was previously barren. She went to the temple in tears not eating and making a vow. She said if God would give her a son, she would lend him to the Lord all his days. Not only was Samuel born she kept her vow, for when he was weaned, she took him to the temple. God then visited Hanna and she bore three sons and two daughters. And Samuel judged Israel all his days.
In war time, the military know and have been highly disciplined and trained that at the company commanders orders, they stand and hold their position without breaking ranks, without concession, without raising the flag of surrender. They fight with every weapon that they have been trained on. They execute their disciplines with everything that’s within in them. And having done all, ( listen this is a word for many). You have come up to this place time and time again, you have stopped and turned back allowing the wicked one to win. But God will not fail. You must press on and don’t look back, his heavy artillery; his heavy weight in glory will garrison around you when attacked. Having done all to stand in the army of the Lord, you’ll take down every evil plot and his victory shall be yours!
Eph. 6:10
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
