Rom 8:15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
In a world where so many people are abandoned emotionally or physically, it is so important to know the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As I watch the news and watch our dear little children committing horrendous crimes, I cannot help but wonder, is it because no one ever told them that they were loved. Have they been filled with fear, discouragement and a lack of hope?
Col 3:21 Fathers, do not provoke or irritate or fret your children (do not be hard on them or harass them), lest they become discouraged and sullen and morose and feel inferior and frustrated. (Do not break their spirit.) Amp. Bible
Provoke: to anger
Irritate: provoke to impatience, fret, wear away by gnawing, rubbing, worry,
Harass: to trouble, to torment
Discourage: to deprive of courage, disheartened
Sullen: alone, showing resentment, unusable, sulky, gloomy, slow moving
Morose: gloomy
Have you wondered why your life has not been going in the direction of your vision that God gave you, but in the direction of your nightmares? Maybe the ones who raised you gave you the wrong road map for life. Have you recognized the emotions from the verse above as being your emotions? The word discourage means to deprive one of courage. Have you been afraid to step out and reach for your goals in life? Maybe you were programmed from your youth for failure. Maybe someone wounded your spirit and all the doctors, drugs, geographical changes couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
But I know someone who can! Let me tell you about my Jesus, who met me when I had a doctor’s report in my hand that said I was dying, a joint between my fingers, and a ginger brandy in my pocket. I was ready to give up on life and He met me right where I was and He gave me a new heart and a new spirit that was not wounded and also put His Spirit in me.
Ezk 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
:27 And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them.

I was one of those who did not get a good start in life. Today I am a devoted woman of God.....who has received time and time again the wonderful healing and deliverance that only God with His Loving touch could perform.
I remember a night over a decade from today (In one of Dominic's meetings in New Port Richey) when I felt like my heart had once again become "stony". My love for people was being lost in a season of broken promises and broken relationships. I remember well How God in His loving Kindness..... put me face down on the floor and performed a heart transplant. I remember feeling my heart turn from it's hardness into what felt like "mush". Then He gently rebuilt the covering around all that softness and my new heart was firm on the outside but soft and full of love on the inside. I remember getting up off of that operating floor and being in love with everyone. In the times and years since then I have asked for his special touch to keep my heart from once again becoming hard. Life is not easy for those of us who were not shown real love in our childhoods and even in our adult relationships. People fail us.......but my precious Jesus has yet to show me anything but love and gentleness. He still heals today in each and every way that we need. Physically and emotionally He is the Healer. The scriptures in this post are truth and life to me. The cycle of not feeling loved has been broken in my family blood line.... My adult children know they are loved and respected and my 8 grandchildren well they.... know that Grandma Pat will be there for them. I thank God for such healing in my life. He is worthy of my praise!
Hello Dominic
This is a much needed blog. You are so right so many people have such low self esteem that they just cannot believe that the Lord of Lords can love them so unconditionally. I believe that is one of Satans biggest weapons against us. Lets face it if you cant even love yourself how can you believe that anyone else can love you. When one is abused the self destructive habits manifest and innocence and love turn to hate and anger. Isnt it kind of ironic that what every person on earth yearns for is love yet love is the one thing that is so hard to believe in and accept.I can't wait to see you again at the River of Life.
Thank you Sister Pat, every once in awhile we need reminders that we have not labored in vein!! Your blog really touched my heart!! Brought back some old sweet memories!!We all need encouragement!!
Please keep sharing!!
Love YA!!
Dear Alicia, thanks I am excited about this blog, it is good to have your input keep it up, thanks for your excitement!!
Love YA!!!!
I have a Praise Report concerning a "healing". It might take a few more words than just a "comment" but it is a wonderful report. I have a beautiful daughter, Diana, who is 27 years old. She is beautiful on the outside but more beautiful each day moreso on the inside. Diana has MS but that is not the healing for today. She is married to a wonderful man, Kenny and they have a beautiful daughter Alexis. Alexis was diagnosed with a disorder called MPS. That disorder causes "sugar" to build up in the body in various places instead of being broken down in the body and passed out. Alexis suffers from some physical problems because of this disorder. Since she is what they call a Level 6 she will not have the worst of the effects from the MPS. She has to travel to the hospital of Chicago every week to have medicine pumped in for up to 5 hours to break down the "gag" or built up sugar. She will be short in her height and has some bone deformaties because of this disorder. She is the sweetest grand daughter and has the sweetest little spirit but this is not the healing of today.
Diana and Kenny have recently had a new son his name is "Nathan James" and he was born September 23rd just close to a month ago. It was the pregnancy that took them to the specialist in gene disorders that led to Alexis being correctly diagnosed...which has probably saved her life and decreased her problems from the MPS. 1 in a million people carry the gene that causes MPS. And it takes 2 carriers to combine to have a child that is not just a carrier but has the disorder. Diana and Kenny are the one in the millon and together those genes combined caused Alexis to have more than the carrier gene but to have the disorder. Well, here they are pregnant with another child.... we can only imagine the fear in their hearts. Early in the pregnancy I spoke to the Lord about this unborn child. Remember, God says we are wonderfully made.
God spoke in my spirit that this child would be born healthy but that the pregnancy would be a "real journey" for Diana but that "He would be with her through it all". And he has been.... to shorten this "comment" I will not go through all that Diana and Kenny have been through during this pregnancy but she did have a healthy pregnancy. And on September 23rd "Little Nathan James' was Born. They had to send off a blood test to the only lab in the whole country that tests for this gene but last week we got the results that "Little Nathan" does not have the disorder. Praise God....
Well, the doctors always say "well lets do this too, just to make sure" so today October 16th while Alexis was having her weekly medicine pumped in they also tested "Little Nathan's" Urine. Today the results are in and all though he does have a normal urine count they still want to recheck his blood in a few months.
I thank the Lord today that a grandmother's prayers have been answered. And I fully believe the the miracle of healing was a touch from God while inside my daughter's body. Now........ in chosing the name for this little one the parents of course tossed around a few names. Tyler and Nathan and on and on. But they chose the name Nathan. Last week my daughter asked me "Mom, does the name Nathan mean anything in the Bible?" So of course I headed to my computer Bible program and looked up the name "Nathan" and what do you think the name means in the Bible? "Gift from God".... How I would pray that my Kenny and Diana would in turn "Give the Gift from God back to God". But somehow, I fully believe that God will have His hand on this little one for years to come. I have seen miracles of healing in myself, in my children and in my grandchildren and others. No one can ever tell me.... that God does not heal! He is still healing. I believe as a devoted woman of God that through my Jesus and in His suffering "His Stripes" we are healed. This is only one testimony for one day. But I have seen other healings and I have another Grandchild named "David" that God healed..... but that will be for another day. Today is "Nathan's Day". A "Gift from God" that this Grandmother will treasure for all time. Thank you Lord for answering "Granma Pat's Prayers". I will never stop telling the stories of your loving kindness for your children. Never forget .... God has good plans for you.
Jerimiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.
As for Alexis and Diana God's healing testimonies will be forthcoming.
