(Habakkuk 2:1-5) "I will stand upon my watch,
and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and
what I am reproved. And the Lord
answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he
may run that readeth it. For the vision
is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:
though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not
tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted
up is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith."
Vision:
Hebrew: dream, revelation, sight, behold, look, mirror, looking glass. Vision is not seeing things as they are but
as they will be. Man cannot discover
truth it must be revealed. Vision is to
fulfill God’s Word, and spread His Word through you.
We are God’s
workmanship, His Creation made to do exploit for His Kingdom. (Ep. 2:10) “For
we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should walk in them”.
We are His Dwelling place, His Temple, His Laborers in which He wants to
impact the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (1Cor. 3:9) “For we are laborers
together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” (1Cor. 3:16)
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, ad that the Spirit of God dwelleth
in you?” We were created by God for a
purpose, with a vision to be
revealed and fulfilled for the Kingdom of God. (Jer. 29:11-13) “For I know the
thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of
evil to give you an expected end. Then
shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken
unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find
me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart”. (Jer. 33:3) “Call unto me, and I will answer
thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not”. What is the vision God’s calling you to reveal and fulfill?
First would
like to share how my life was changed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which
led me to walk this awesome journey for the Glory of God. I grew up in New York
and was raised in the Catholic Religion, I attended a Catholic School. I attended the Catholic Masses but felt empty
inside and thought I had too much sin, and condemned myself for it. After High School graduation, I attended a
College in the City with a work co-op program.
This was where I would attend classes for a few weeks then be placed in
a job training program. I was sent to a
Company in the City where I began to work in the Computer Room and met a very
interesting lady. She was filled with
much love and joy, always giving out these little booklets (Gospel Tracts) and
sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I
had mentioned to her that I believed in Jesus too, but she began to share in
the Word, about a personal relationship with Christ. (Rom.10.-9-10). One day she left a Tract at
my computer desk with the 5 Spiritual Laws on Salvation. As I began to read this Tract something
happened on the inside, drawing me to Christ.
The Lady was at her desk working and couldn’t come to my desk, but
motioned to read the tract praying the prayer, He hears all. I began to pray the prayer of salvation, at
that computer desk and received the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. I felt such
a peace and joy on the inside, and free from the condemnation I felt for
years. I looked across the room, saw
tears flowing down the Ladies face, her smiling, and rejoicing quietly at her
desk. Later that day, on our breaks, and
after work, the Lady helped to get a study Bible, and guide me in the Word and
with Church. I was so excited and wanted
to share with others and give out Tracts too.
God began to reveal His Word, and minister to me in church. The Lord
brought many mentors that disciple, and helped to train me in evangelizing the
Gospel. I became more and more hungry
for God and began to go with others to witness the Gospel of Jesus giving out
Tracts. Wow, what fun in serving our
Lord and Savior, especially when I had the experience in leading people, young
children and old to Christ. As I began
to seek the Lord for vision, He placed
such a desire to evangelize the Gospel with Tracts, not only to the adults but
the children. In my prayer time one day
I mentioned to the Lord that I wished that I got to know Him when I was a child
to grow in Him. I felt bad that I
missed all those years not knowing Him personally. The Lord told me that I can live my childhood
through the other children that come to salvation, and that I teach the Gospel
too. Glory to God.
As I continued to seek God’s will
within the Church and be discipled in this area the desire to reach the Lost
for Christ began to grow. In one of the
bible studies met the Mighty Man of Valor that God had chosen to walk together
in ministry; to reach the people for the Kingdom of God. (James 1:17) “Every
good and perfect gift comes from above”. It is so amazing how God knew and seen all that
I needed, and how blessed to have such a loving, caring, motivating husband and
servant of God with like passion and vision. As we continued to seek God together we grew
closer with each other and began to reach the lost, with the talents God gave
us. Together God used us as we witnessed
out in the communities by playing guitars worshiping our Lord, praying and
giving tracts to people seeing God touch many lives leading them into the
Kingdom of God. Glory to God. God
not only blessed me with such an anointed man of God, gave me a Mother-in-Law
that heart was to reach the Lost. Mom
went to the Nations evangelizing the Gospel and ministered to the multitudes
for the Glory of God. God used Mom to
raise up churches and teach many for the Kingdom of God. The Lord sure blessed me with such an
anointed fired up family. Glory to God.
I then began to go out with my Mother- In- Law in malls, airports,
hospitals, evangelizing, praying, worshiping, and gave many tracts ministering
the Gospel. We also went in communities
evangelizing. Mom began to teach me so
much. Mom and I would pray at least an
hour and go out two times a week to evangelize and minister the Gospel of
Christ and see the Lord move upon many people.
I remember this one hospital had 18 floors and mom would pray and the
Lord would tell us what floor to get off and the rooms to visit; then see Gods
miracles come forth. It was glorious. So
many souls, and healing for the glory of God.
It was so much fun to watch and see God minister in people’s lives. After going twice a week to the hospital the
people that was still patients in the room or other patients nearby would call
out from their room to us and say, “Ministers of the Gospel, could you come in
and pray for me?” I remember when mom went in the bitter cold snow where less fortunate
community where many homeless people were at.
They would dig deep holes in the snow and jump in them to try to stay
warm. Mom would bring hot chocolate and
bologna sandwiches for them and minister to them. As I continuously went out with her the
passion for the lost grew stronger and stronger within me as I experience many
souls come to Christ. Praise God. Many wonderful times experiencing together
with my Husband and Mother-In-Law in evangelizing the Gospel continued to fill
our hearts with His Unfailing love.
As years past God blessed us two very
special Boys three years apart that grew up in the Lord. As I mentioned earlier how I regretted not
knowing the Lord when I was a child, and the Lord said that I will live my
childhood through the many children that I bring and teach the Gospel. Now how special it was to teach my very own
children the Gospel as others. Wow. Glory to God for the many wonderful blessings
that He continuously brings to His children.
Thank you Lord! I Love you
Jesus! Together my Husband and I began
this journey raising such wonderful children in the Lord, and continued to
serve our awesome God and glorify His Holy Name. (Prov.22:6) “Train up a child
in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
It was about during the year 1989 I
was at home in Long Island New York watching my son, and his cousin who were
about 4 years old outside my house playing.
I saw a young boy about 6 years old playing in the street. I didn’t see any adults watching him, was
concerned and asked where he lived. The
little boy was locked out of his house and his mother left him and went to
work. He told me that his mom didn’t have enough money to pay for someone to
watch him. I felt so bad, and checked
with the mom felt lead by the Lord to and watch the boy, and begin to have
bible studies with the children in my home.
It went from the home to the park where the Lord began to give me witty
inventions making stick puppets, puppet stage out of refrigerator boxes, and
funny colorful characters, and clowns to attract the children to minister the
Gospel of Jesus. Together with my Husband, Mother-In-Law, and two Boys at a
young age (Is.11:6)”A little child shall lead them”, began to evangelize the
Gospel. It was such fun times and the
Lord began to gather the crowns of children and families in the parks and in
the churches. The Lord used that little boy to open my eyes and reveal the
heart for the children and begin to run toward the vision for the Kingdom
of God. This is where the desire began
to grow in my heart to reach children and to touch and transform families with
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through the
years that followed I was so blessed to see the Lord bring many children and
their families to Jesus Christ, and see their lives changed for the Glory of
God. I am so humbled that the Lord would
in trust me with this honor and privilege to minister to his children. (John15:5) “Without Me ye can do nothing.” I thank God with Him guiding, and directing
the way this can be done for the glory of God. Amen.
Over the many years serving the Lord
in the Children's Ministry, after moving to New Bern, North Carolina continued
to minister in the Children’s Ministry. On one day during my time in prayer the Lord
revealed a vision of me outside in a field surrounded by children with their
families ministering the Gospel. The
Lord said that it was not enough to minister to the children and families in
the church, but to go out into the highways, and go to the entire world and
preach his gospel. (Luke14:23), (Mark
16:15) The Lord showed me (Song of Solomon 1:8) “If thou know not, O thou
fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy
kids beside the shepherds' tents."
After sharing God’s heart to friends
in different churches the vision, many
began to run with me. We rose together to
pray and intercede as we began this awesome journey. The team practiced and one day jumped in a
van began interceding for the direction of the Holy Spirit where to go
minister. As we were driving down town
New Bern the Holy Spirit led us to a field in Craven Terrace on Roundtree
Street the projects of our city. We all
felt the witness from God that this was the place to start.
We began to
prepare, then brought out flyers on the outreach and delivered them together
dressed up in funny colorful characters to gather attention and stir expectancy
for the day.
On that
first day we had about 15 people come and one was a police officer. He felt that the area might not accept us
there and he wanted us to be safe. We
all carried tables, sound equipment, puppet stage, and puppets, food and drinks
to set up on the field. There were many
children out there playing with family nearby.
When we began to play with the children family members came picking up
children and pulling them back to their homes not making us feel welcome, but
threatened. The police officer and other
church people that came told me that we were not welcome here and maybe this
was not the place God wanted us to minister.
I told them that the enemy didn’t want us there but God did. We must press forth toward the mark, and
never give up showing the love of Christ to all. We must do all we can in Christ to show them
that God Cares and we do too. So we
continued to pray, and go back showing the love of Christ, and the families
began to come out with their children, and receive the gospel of Jesus. Many would give their hearts to Christ, and
we would follow-up with them by phone and visit bringing them to area churches
to grow. The Lord began to transform
many lives, and many that lived there looked forward to our visits ministering
the Gospel that when we arrived, the children would run from all over the area
to that field to come hear the Word of God.
What a change from the beginning.
That is totally the work of the Spirit of God. We give Him all the glory. Praise the Lord. (Luke1:37) “With God nothing is impossible.”
After the Teams
continued to go back to Craven Terrace to the families began to respond with
such hunger and joy for the Word of God that on one day during the outreach it
began to pour right in the middle of a puppet skit. This was a skit that a Team
Youth wrote on the “Heavenly Father”.
All but one Adult began to run off the field back to their home. The Team working the puppets began to say if
they should stop, but the Holy Spirit showed me this one woman standing there
in the rain and crying and it was not the rain.
The Spirit of God was moving and drawing her to him through this puppet
skit. I told them to continue, and began
to speak then watched the Lord reach and save this woman. As this was happening people that was leaving
turned around and came back, stood in the rain and God brought souls to the
Kingdom. What a mighty God we serve. No matter what the situation, we must always
press on forward and be victorious in Christ Jesus. (Philp. 3:14) “I press
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
We will be
Victorious when we Obey God! (11Cor. 2:14) “ Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth
us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the saviour of his knowledge by us
in every place.”
After ministering we began going to Trent
Court on the other side of town in the projects and the Spirit of God began to
touch and transform the lives and change the area for the glory of God. We had reports from residents that live on
the very block in Trent Ct. that stated that they couldn’t even go outside
during the day because it was not safe and many times heard gunshots fired and
that they feared for their families.
They said that since the ministry began coming out there over the years,
the fear stopped and the area began to change.
Praise God. The Lord wants to not
only reach our hearts, families, but neighborhoods, cities, and the nation with
the Gospel of Jesus. We had the
opportunity to see God rise up the children, and see them grown in the Lord,
pursue dreams, and be placed in good jobs and stable homes. Glory to God.
As days and years went by the Lord
opened many opportunities for me to minister in Trailer Parks, other projects,
city public events, and churches. The team
of churches was so faithful, and worked so hard each time we went to hold an
outreach outside; carrying all the equipment, supplies, and food to serve the
children and their family in every way we can with the love of Jesus. (Mat.
25:35-40).
One day in prayer asking the Lord to
give me a simple way to help bring all the things needed out to the streets
each time for the Outreach He showed me a vision. I saw a Truck with the side opened up to a
stage and inside there were cabinets filled with food, supplies, a puppet stage
and other tools to minister the Gospel to the families outside in the
community. I was so excited. (Prov.8:12)
What a “Witty Invention” from God. Glory...
Your will see how the Lord brought the Truck later on.
(Luke 14:23)
"Go to the highway and hedges and compel the people to come."
(Mat.
25:35-40) 'I was Hungry and you fed me, I was Thirsty and you gave me drink; I
was a Stranger, and you welcomed me' I was Naked and you Clothed me, I was sick
and you visited me; I was in Prison and you came to see me".
(11Thes
1:11-12) "God fulfill His will in you".
(Col.4:17)
"Take heed of the ministry which you received of the Lord and fulfill
it".
The Lord showed me other churches working
together in reaching the lost in the cities, and inviting the families to the
nearby churches. He also showed me
churches in different cities, inviting the Team to hold Outreach conferences to
train and assist them to preach the Gospel with these tools. He said that He would begin in the inner
cities reaching the children and their families and He would raise them up to
go in their community to reach others. I
saw Men and Women rise up start a church in the inner cities to shepherd the
flock for the Kingdom of God.
(1Cor.12:12-31)
"One Body, many members operating as One Team". Together Everyone
Achieving More!
I shared this vision with a close
friend and prayer partner, and she mentioned that there was a church in Brownsville,
Florida with that same vision at the time, and if I wanted to go visit the Ministry. We prayed, and with our husband’s in
agreement, we left for Florida. We got
to attend church services and meet the Children Church Pastor and I shared the vision that the Lord had given me. Pastor Vann then told me that he had the same vision and is actively walking in
it. The Pastor invited us to go on an outreach
with the children that Saturday morning and see the same vision of the truck and ministry alive before my eyes. I was
so excited expecting a great experience.
That morning, the Pastor advised us to ride in the truck with one of his
leaders in the ministry. I don't
remember his name but he was about 8 years old, and filled with the wisdom and
anointing of God. When they brought us
to the truck and saw the inside filled with all God revealed to me in the
vision he gave me. Glory to God. He
allowed me to see my vision alive through the ministry here at Brownsville,
Florida. To see the children ministering
in the inner cities having the undivided attention from the families was incredible. To top it off seeing this young boy 8 years
of age preaching an intense message from the Word of God and seeing the awesome
response from the crowd coming forward for Christ. The Lord spoke to me to take heed to the
ministry which He revealed to me and fulfill it. (Col. 4:17) “Take heed to the ministry which
thou hast received in the Lord that thou fulfill it. He continued to remind me in His Word, (Song
of Solomon, 1:8) “Feed the Kids besides the Shepherds Tents”, (Luke 14:23) “And
the Lord said unto the servant, go out into the highways and hedges, and compel
them to come in, that my house may be filled”, (Matt. 25:35-40) “I was hungry
you fed Me, I was thirsty you gave drink,
a stranger you welcomed Me, I was naked you clothed Me, in prison you came to see Me”. The Lord said, “As I revealed to you, go and
do likewise for my Kingdom. (John20:21)
“As the Father sent me, so I send you.”
Yes Lord to your will and your way.
I was so humbled yet excited to go back home to New Bern, N. C. to begin
this awesome journey with God. I knew
that I could do nothing in myself, but with God all things are possible. With every vision the Lord brings provision.
Pro----vision. He provides
for the vision.
When we returned home after much
prayer and fasting, we began to thresh the ground, for the direction, wisdom,
and favor of God on this ministry. I
was so excited that I began to share the vision
with other Christian friends, churches, and at work. God gave me much favor with many people. A brother in the Lord had called me on a
Friday evening after 6:00 P.M. and mentioned that he knew a man that had a
truck for sale. He told me that he
informed the man that a person needed a truck like that one for a ministry to
reach children, and families in the cities.
The man was selling the truck for $10,000 dollars and already had
someone that was interested, but after he heard about the vision of the ministry, he was so moved that he offered it for $4,000.00. He mentioned that he would need the money by
that Monday Morning. He told him that I
would have the money for him and we will pick it up. That night my friend called me, I was so
excited but told him that I didn’t know how I will get the money by Monday when
it was already Friday evening and banks are closed. Furthermore, I didn’t know how or where I can
come up with that amount of money or who to ask for it, but God. This would only come through a miracle from
God. But deep down in my Spirit, I knew
God had a plan and that He would bring the “pro-vision” because this was His vision.
Before I could say anything, my friend said that he was going to be
the first to plant a seed of $1,000.00 dollars toward the ministry truck. I was
shouting, glorifying the Lord. He said the rest will come before Monday morning
because this is God’s Work. I thanked
him for his obedience and help for the ministry of God. I ran to tell my husband and he was praising
God, and said that the Lord told him to give $1,000.00 toward the ministry
truck. Glory to God! I said, “Lord thank
you, all we need is $2,000.00 and nothing is too hard for you”. Somehow the word was spreading out through
our church, and Sunday another brother gave $1,000.00. The church gave the last $1,000.00 for the
ministry truck. When God gives a vision He always makes a way, and brings in the “pro-vision”. Glory to God.
Thank you for all your Favor, Lord!
I already
had people that God had called to come be involved in the ministry. The Lord was beginning to put all the pieces
together in the ministry. The Lord
showed me that it would not be one church but many coming together to go spread
the Gospel, and it was happening. Other
church people wanted to get involved and were praying for the ministry. As the vision
was revealed to area churches, and businesses, provision continuously came in
to prepare the ministry truck with the tools, equipment, cabinets, supplies,
stage, puppets, and props needed to complete it. The Lord brought a man whom painted the vision that I pictured on the truck
too! God is awesome! It was a picture of a road leading into the
city with the Cross revealing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the children. On the back was the World of God opened
revealing the scripture in (John 3:16).
“ God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, whosoever
believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Glory to God.
That painted picture on the truck along was such a witness as we drove
it within the city and other cities brought His Gospel to many that observed
it.
(Habakkuk
2:2) Amp. “Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that
everyone who passes may (be able to)
read (it easily and quickly) as he hastens by. For the vision
is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end (fulfillment); it will
not deceive or disappoint. Though it
tarry, wait (earnestly) for it, because it will surely come; it will not be
delayed on its appointed day”.
We began to
seek the Lord for guidance on where to begin and God led us to the inner city
projects in New Bern, N. C. On Monday
Nights we would practice beginning with prayer and the Word. We would begin to practice puppets, and drama
skits to prepare the team for outreach.
We started with three churches coming together with youth and adults and
it began to grow for the Glory of God.
As we
continued to meet and practice and then
minister in the projects, and trailer parks, the Holy Spirit opened many other
opportunities in city events, Churches,
and He gave us unlimited freedom to minister anywhere in the streets of
New Bern; permission was given by the New Bern Police Department. We did not need to obtain a permit and sometimes
had police escorts in many areas within the city. Glory to God for the Favor! “Praising God, and having favor with all the
people” (Luke 2:47).” The Holy Spirit
continued to enlarge the vision by
opening doors where different churches gathered as the WWCWW (World Wide Church
Without Walls) Team held four hour conferences on outreach and we experienced
the honor of seeing the fruit of our labor flourish before our eyes. Glory to God. These conferences were different than most as
we heard from the many churches that they were held at. Most had mentioned that teaching, booklets,
and materials were given but they really experienced the fullness from them
when we had them minister by using the tools, and acting out what they learned
in doing an outreach as we became there audience. This helped fire them up, and challenged the
churches to work together and get there feet wet in the church, so they can
then go out into the city and minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I remember
this one church came up from South Carolina with their Pastor, His wife, Youth
Pastor, and some other people that wanted to come join us and watch what we do
on and outreach in the city. They came
to observe, but I got them involved from the very beginning with the setup, in
playing with the children, in games, singing, praying, and ministering after
the Word of God was preached. On that
day during the time ministering it began to rain and that group from South
Carolina looked and thought we were going to pack it up and leave, and saw that
the children and the adults there did not move, and we kept on ministering they
were so moved excited and fired up in what God was doing jumped right back in
ministering with us. The Pastor and
group were never the same. They went
back and began an outreach with such a passion to reach the lost at any cost,
no matter what the condition might be they won’t be stopped. Glory to God!
As it began to rain the team picked up the blue tarp the children were sitting
on and held it over their heads so all the children and adults with them could
go under it and watch the ministry as they sang and laughed enjoying every
minute along with the Team. What we
would have thought would have been a disaster was a complete joy and success
for the Glory of God! What a faith builder!
God is so witty and wise the way He does things to teach and build and
challenge our faith!
His Gospel
began to network and spread throughout the cities, and teams were developed in
many other states as well. These outreach
teams went places and were led by the Spirit of God to do many exploits for the
Glory of God’s Kingdom reaching many souls.
Praise the
Lord. I heard this saying, “TEAM-
Together Everyone Achieving More”. (Philip. 2:2) “Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be
like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” The Spirit
of God wants us to work together in one mind and one accord, in unity then we
will see the hand of God be magnified and the Kingdom of Heaven come to
earth. Glory to God. (Philip. 2:13) “For
it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure”.
(Ep.4:1-7)
“Therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the
vocation wherewith ye are called. With
all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love;
Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye
are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One
God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace
according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
The Spirit of God had commissioned us all to go and do likewise in His
Name, using His Word then the Kingdom of God is manifested through His people
fulfilling the vision leading the harvest to Christ.
Part of the vision of WWCWW’s Ministry was that the
Spirit of God would reach the inner cities by the projects with the Gospel of
Christ and see the violence, drugs, alcohol, and abuse leave, but also raise up
children and their families to go back to do lead others in their area as
well. Over the years of ministry God
changed lives and cleaned out the dark areas with the light of His Love. Doors opened up for WWCWWs to hold Outreach
Conferences in the Cities, and out of State where 2 to 3 Churches would gather
as we held these training sessions and the Holy Spirit networked teams to reach
the Harvest for the Kingdom of God. Over
the years God raised up 8 Teams throughout the cities and in other states for
the glory of God. I get to check on them
and here such awesome testimonies on what the Holy Spirit is doing through
them. Glory to God!
We can reach
the harvest as we join together then we will achieve all through Christ who strengthens
us. (Philp.4:13) Glory to God!
God called
Team Leaders, a couple and their family to begin a church right in the area by
the projects, where they minister, teach, train, disciple people in the Lord. This couple was saved and still lives in the
projects. Glory to God! This was an
answer to prayer. This was a part of the
vision to see God rise up people in
this area to reach their community. Who
else can reach them but the ones that is a living testimony of God, to them
that already know them and see the change in their life. This church has been growing and been such a
blessing to WWCWWs. All the people and
youth that had made a commitment to Christ has been helped by this loving
couple and church family in the projects.
I always knew that no new converts would be missed because they always
took the time to personally visit them and do all they could to spread the love
of Jesus. I thank God for this special
couple and their loving church family.
Thank you for all you do for the Kingdom of God.
God called another
one of our Team Leaders to Louisiana to birth another Outreach. God not only
began training for Outreach, enlarged her territory and birth a Shelter and Food
Pantry for the Youth as well. (Ps.18:36)
“Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; that my feet did not slip”. (Is.54:2)
“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of
thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy
stakes”. Glory to God.
Praise God
for her sacrifice and obedience to God.
God had rewarded her greatly for it too.
When we listen and obey God we shall be victorious in all things. (Jer. 29:11) “ For I know the plans I have
for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future”.
God gave one
of the Team Leaders later on the idea of beginning an Outreach which now has
over 25 churches involved in serving the community where the need arises. This helped opened the door to the Gospel in
areas that were closed for the Glory of God.
Praise God. Jesus always makes a
way, because He is the Way in and through it all. Thank you Jesus! (John 14:6)
One day at an outreach in another area cross
town in the projects saw about 20 youth approach me and tell me that they were
fruit to many seeds that the Team ministered to in the projects, and now doing
that very same thing for God. I was so
overwhelmed and honored to see, praising God and loving on each of them. Then I had the awesome opportunity with
another Team member to see them minister the Gospel of Christ in mime and
dance. They were so anointed and
passionate for Christ. My friend and I were
so excited, and began to weep, and jump for joy, glorifying God. Then we met their Pastors that also later
finding out that they lived right down in the projects where we ministered over
the years watching and observing us. The
Pastor’s began to share their testimony and said they were not saved and were into
drugs and alcohol but noticed the love we continuously showed the children and
thought one day they see if we were for real.
She approached me after we ministered out there in the projects and
asked for money... She mentioned that
she been drinking and doing drugs and wanted money to buy more, but I told her
that I had no money to give her and asked what she needed it for? She said she was nasty with me but said ok I
need it for food... Then she mentioned I
told her we had no food on the truck but will get together with the Team and
the Churches and come back and bring food.
She said that she was mad and said that I was like other churches saying
that they would do things but never come through, but said that I would be back
because we represent God’s servant and He is a God of His Word and we were
too. Then within a few days later the
WWCW Team of Churches came to her house with bags of food that totally changed
their life, and they are a seed that God used through WWCWW Ministry that
brought forth fruit that are now changing life’s there in the projects and
everywhere they go for the Glory of
God. Praise the Most High God. Thank God we were obedient to God, and were
Men and Women of God’s Word and Promise.
You never know what little, or big thing you do can impact a life that can
affect the multitude of people.
(Prov.23:12) “Apply thy heart unto instruction.” When God speaks and instructs us we must move
forward and take action, then God will cause the increase in all He sets us out
to do, bring us from Glory to Glory.
Praise God. (Ps.8411-12) “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord
will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk
uprightly. O lord of hosts, blessed is
the man that trusteth in thee.
(1Cor. 2:9)
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love
Him”.
(2Cor. 2:14)
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and
maketh manifest the Savior of his knowledge by us in every place”.
(Jer.29:11)
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”. Nothing is by chance. No
detail is forgotten in my plans for you. (Rom 11:33) “O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God; HOW UNSEARCHABLE are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out”!
Vision is not seeing things as they are but
as they will be. Every vision God
will give you the Pro-vision. The vision
God reveals to you is to fulfill His plan that will spread His Word to
advance the Kingdom of God. Negative information is always free, but Positive
information must be searched for or you create it! (Prov. 29:18) “Where there
is no vision, the people perish; but
he that keepeth the law, happy is
he”. “It is the Glory of God to conceal a thing; but the honour of Kings to
search out a matter.” Remember God created you and I with a plan and a purpose
and though it might tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come, it will
not tarry.
(Habakkuk
2:2-3) “And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth
it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak
and not lie; though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it
will not tarry”.
Vision Revealed will be a Vision Fulfilled if you step up to the
Task and allow the Holy Spirit to guide
you every step of the way. Vision will birth, the Gospel Spread, the
Harvest will come, and the Kingdom of God will be Glorified.
Run hard
after God. He will fulfill the vision!
A Man or Woman that runs after God
will get to their Destination in God!
Glory to our King and God! It is time to stand up and step
forward in the vision that God has
placed in you.. (Philp.3:13-14) “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended;
but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are before, I PRESS
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”.
(Philip.
1:6) “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work
in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”.
(Philip.
2:13) “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure”.
My prayer
for you is: (2Thes. 1:11-12) “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our
God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of
his goodness, and the work of faith with power; That the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our
God and The Lord Jesus Christ”.
(Ps. 90:17)
“And let the beauty of the Lord our God Be upon us; and establish thou the work
of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it”.
(Col.4:17)
“Take heed to the Ministry “Vision” which
thou hast received in the Lord that thou fulfill it”.
I pray that
this was an inspiration for you, and that it challenged you to press forward in
the vision that God has placed on
your live. If you don’t know what is
the vision that God called for you
to do, all you need to do is ask Him. He
will reveal the vision and plan as
you pray and seek His face. (Jer.
29:11) (Jer. 33:3) “Call Him up and He
will show you great and mighty things”. When He reveals to you the vision run hard after God and He will
order and direct you’re every step. Prov. 3:55-6) “Trust in the Lord with all
thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge him and He shall direct thy paths”.
Glory to God!
It is Fun to
serve our Lord in following the guide us of the Holy Spirit. What a blessing it is!
The
challenges can be hard at times, but the reward is so great! Victory is a sure thing….Cause we can do all
things through Christ Jesus! (Philp.3:13-14)
He will cause us to triumph in Christ! “(11Cor. 2:14) “Now thanks be
unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savior of his knowledge by us in every place”
We all are
called with a plan to fulfill for God. (1Cor. 2:9) “But as it is written, Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for them that love him”. (Isaiah 64:4) “For since the beginning of the
world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen,
O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him”.
Go run with
the vision God has given you and
fulfill it for the glory of God.
I want to thank to my Husband,
my sons and my Mother-In-Law, for all the prayer,
support and time working together in bringing forth this vision. I also would like to acknowledge the
many people who made up a team to accomplish this work. There were so many people who took part in
this ministry that it would be hard to remember to name them all! Thank you to ALL the many people that devoted
their Love and dedication for the Kingdom of God.
To God be all the Glory and Honor Now
and Forevermore! God Bless you!
