  • Summary

  • Book Introduction:

    I walked away from everything!
    I didn't take or steal anything as some have believed. I just left house, cars, furniture, church, marriage and relationships. The few things I took were sentimental and had belonged mostly to my deceased mother.

    I had packed slowly for months and everyone knew the day I was leaving. I didn't sneak away! I said, "Farewell!"

    After so many years my life as it existed was over! Never would anyone understand the state of despair in which I resided. For years I prayed to die every day! I wouldn't commit suicide because I believe in Hell.
    I definitely did not want to go there! I needed to go away...

    Jesus tells a story called The Parable of the Prodigal Son. He left over riches…
    I left to Live. Suicide had haunted me from childhood.

    I worked under a spawn of hell, I had a boss who tried daily to hurt me. After surviving several heart attacks, I sat in the bed terrified of death.
    Especially after It came so close to me.
    I could feel it lurking near by, one false move and it would have me bound.

    When I got ill I was forced out on Workers Compensation from my 28 plus year job. I wasn't too proud to beg, so I begged them! No light duty for me, they just threw me out after I was injured.

    By then my hands and arms had suffered injuries from years of repetitive motion. The injuries had spread through both hands, elbows, up into my shoulders and started down my back. I was diagnosed with cervical and thoracic soft tissue damage. I was in constant severe pain. Once I entered into physical therapy they discovered that my left side had a partial paralysis from the heart condition. My lower back and leg had also suffered injury.

    I was a wreck, unwanted, over weight, injured and ugly. So much more was going on when my marriage went into full failure. I just wanted to sit quietly in a rocking chair, read a book, serve God, and talk to myself.

    My children were grown, my real friends were busy or struggling themselves.
    … Momma was in the ground!

    I found myself in a foreign land, with all new people. My lips were silent… I just watched and listened! I cried many broken hearted tears daily until I would fall asleep.

    I never mentioned God unless asked. I wasn't in the mood for religious discussions. I had already been an ordained Minister for over 20 years prior to meeting them all.

    The families who surrounded me and cared for me through my illness and despair were sent by God to make sure I lived. I could tell many wondered… "Who is this strange lady and from where had she come?" While discerning their very thoughts and various reactions towards me... I just smiled. I loved them and they loved me. I had been given a whole new family with aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. All of their friends embraced me and added me to their hospitality.

    Spiritually I was lost in a place far away from my Father's House.

    Forgiveness and healing started forming in me when I realized… I had been clad in new clothes, a Robe and a Ring a Strength from above. I was no longer afraid to die. I was ARMED by God.

    I was no longer a prodigal daughter but I had become a Warrior. Injured in battle I had earned my “Purple Heart!”

    Ch 25 - The No Power Socialite Rebellion
    Apr 7 2022
    Many lives are cut short because of a lack of pure love or a real relationship with God. This produces a disobedience to His word. What I have found is that most people truly don't even know what the word of God says.... Their fellowship is a social club type of environment with no power over the devil. No genuine love for each other in these groups, in fact severe hatred and jealousy is the password to enter a church that looks nothing like God. There is only a few true churches, specks shining and gleaming in the masses of church confusion.

    There are some Individuals who are teaching a form of Grace that is leaving out many truths that still rule and reign in this Kingdom life.
    Grace is not a blanket “FREE FOR ALL CARD”…
    You need to get that straight in your minds…
    Sin is sin and it is performed against God.

    Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” So one main reason for testing the spirits and for testing all religious teaching is to see if it is truly from God or if it is a lie from Satan and his servants. Sometimes they are very subtle and may appear to look just alike.

    When you have LIMITED EXPERIENCE with God it reveals your LIMITED KNOWLEDGE of God...
    Wisdom would teach one to study more before speaking positively about God, His works and His ways.

    Take the limits off of God. Puddle People stomp around in the shallow places and refuse to move up into the higher things of God.
