ANGEL OF LOVE AND LIGHT MINISTRIES
- I am excited, yet deeply humbled, to announce the arrival of my book, Shattered Dreams - Wake Up America Before It Is Too Late! This book is the culmination of a call the Holy Spirit placed inside my heart five years ago that has come to fruition at last. My book is now available on-line at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. Go to the books section and type in the ISBN 9781607917489.
The intent of this book is twofold. First, it is to help people realize that no matter what you experienced as a child, you can overcome your circumstances and soar to unimaginable new heights with the help of God. This is critically important if you have children and have the desire to break the cycle of abuse and dysfunction. As a child I was abandoned by both parents and suffered rejection, verbal, physical and sexual abuse. I candidly share my testimony so parents can experience, through the eyes of a child, how the unwise choices and actions they make can profoundly affect their children for the majority of their lives. The cycle repeats itself until someone chooses a better way. Some of you may be wondering why I chose to include my testimony in this book with the title, “Shattered Dreams-Wake Up America Before it Is Too Late! The Holy Spirit had me include my testimony for myriad reasons. As part of the title implies, children have “Shattered Dreams” when the most important people in their world—their parents, either disappoint or devastate them. You may be an elderly person who dreamed of retirement and it seems you cannot even survive. You may have lost someone you love due to death, abandonment, divorce, addictions, illness, etc. We all have different "Shattered Dreams" in life and everyone can relate in some capacity to their dreams being shattered. The "American Dream" is being shattered before our very eyes.
As stated in my book, first and foremost, it was to help parents realize the choices they make have a tremendous impact on their children. The cycle repeats itself until someone chooses differently.
Our children are the future of this nation. It is our responsibility as Christians to raise our children with the values that we learn from the Bible. Just like our witness for Jesus Christ is seriously diminished by our walk, our role model as parents is based on what our children see and hearus do. An analogy is when we instruct our children to say we are not home when they answer the phone. We are teaching our children to lie. I am sure most of us have done this, at one time or another.
It was important for the reader to be able to connect with me from the perspective of where I started, where I've been and where I am heading with the help of God. The Holy Spirit only began to reveal prophetic insight and natural signs and wonders to me after I made Him my first priority in my life. If this book had only been about where our nation is heading instead of offering encouragement that based on our individual choices and with the help of God, change is possible, it would have been a book of judgment only with no hope. The purpose of this book is to offer people hope, that if we put God first: our lives will be changed, families will be healed and our nation can be saved. For without hope, it is impossible to have faith. My testimony will speak to a lot of people who have allowed their circumstances to determine their happiness. You can either be victorious or be a victim, but you can’t be both.
There are many individuals who have been abused and mistreated and need to know they are not alone. Satan uses this lie to help keep them in torment and bondage. God can and will set you free if you let Him.If sharing my story helps just one person or more importantly, leads them to Jesus Christ, then my book will have been a success.
Writing my testimony helped me see the “turning points” in my own life and was a vital part of the healing process. It is a written reminder about all the times God has helped me make it to the other side during seasons of pruning, or through trials and tribulations. As His words states, God has never left me or forsaken me; it was I that drifted away from Him.Lastly, I hope to inspire others to share their story if the Holy Spirit has placed it on their heart to do so.
Second, this book is a passionate plea to open your eyes to what is happening to our nation. In 2004, the Holy Spirit gave me prophetic insight about the impending demise of the United States. I am called to do the will of my Father, which is to warn as many people as possible to repent and turn back to Him before it is too late.
Here is an excerpt from my book titled, Shattered Dreams-Wake Up America Before It Is Too Late! The book is on the home page of this website. The Lord gave me prophetic insight of the demise of our nation back in 2004.
In June 2007 on the way to the airport to see my dad for the first time since I was a little girl, I was listening to a CD by Michael W. Smith called Freedom. My eyes were closed and I was praying to God. I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Open your eyes.” I gasped for I instantly saw in the sky to my right what appeared to be an atomic bomb blast. However, this cloud was illuminated with a hue of bright pink and orange from the rising sun. I didn't even see the huge angel cloud that was also illuminated on the left; my husband pointed that out to me. The Lord has repeatedly communicated to me with visions of angels. I believe with all my heart and soul this was a message from God to let me know I needed to finish my book now. I needed to warn as many people as possible that this will be our fate unless we all turn back to Him! Believe what Glenn Beck warns about; believe what Laura Ingraham warns about! If you don't believe us, get into the Bible and read for yourselves what God did with Sodom and Gomorrah!
It doesn’t matter if you receive and act on what you hear, but that I obeyed. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 1:7). As stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Remember, God changed His mind about destroying Nineveh when they repented and turned back to Him. Therefore, there is always the hope that God will change His mind, for with God all things are possible.
We have the power to change where our nation is headed IF we turn back to God and eradicate the sin from our lives and our nation. Prayer alone is not ENOUGH.
OUR ONLY HOPE IS REPENTANCE--SORROW FOR SIN, TURNING FROM IT AND TURNING TO GOD!
COMING SOON! ANNOUNCING MY SECOND BOOK....
I am currently writing my second book titled; God’s Blueprint for the End Time Church—Let His Church Arise!
This book will not be focusing on the loving, merciful God, or presenting those Scriptures which are pleasing to hear—you get enough of this one-sided teaching in churches all across America. The purpose of this book is to put the fear of the Lord in you. As stated in Proverbs 1:7, “The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Reading this book may help save your very soul.
The Lord wants to remind you Jesus will not be coming back as the lamb, but as a lion, He will not be humbly riding a donkey, but will be a conquering King on a white stallion with the armies of heaven at His side. With eyes blazing like fire, he will judge and make war. The world will watch the fullness of God’s wrath unfold.
“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter.”He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:11-17 (NIV)
I hope and pray by reading this book you will hear the Lord say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” rather than, “Get away from me, I never knew you.”
Message to the Church
There are so many things which need to be conveyed. So I posed this question one day, “Lord what do you want your church, the body of Christ to know in these last days?” Here is what He revealed to me. I will be covering all these points in greater detail in this book.
Having a personal relationship with me is the “key” to knowing My heart and character. It is one thing to know your Bible, but is more important to KNOW the God of the Bible.
They must begin to be doers of My Word. What good is it to study my Word and then not do what it says?
My people must stop relying of getting the truth from their pastors in a 45 minute service one day a week. Each individual must read My Word for themselves to know the truth. However, many have become apathetic and want to be spoon-fed. As a result, many are being led astray by false teachings and are deceived. The apostate church is thriving all across America-Woe to them which are leading my flock astray!
They must get back to being the Church as illustrated in the Book of Acts.
They must stop preaching watered-down versions of My Word. My people are quick to claim all My promises but they don’t realize these promises are contingent on what they choose to do. The church must get back to preaching and walking in the Full Gospel message. The Full Gospel message encompasses salvation, sanctification, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and healing.
They must fully embrace the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the fivefold ministry of Jesus Christ.
My people need to realize their love walk is the most important aspect of their faith. This is the number one reason why unbelievers are repulsed by Me. The only way unbelievers will see Me is through you. They need to personify the fruit of the Spirit which is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and self-control. They need to realize all the fruit of the Spirit is manifested and held in place by self-control.
They must fully understand spiritual warfare and the demonic influences which continue to hold My children in bondage and deception.
They must realize the high cost of being my disciples. Only then can they adequately make the decision to be committed until the end. Many of my people are not aware of the sacrifice and personal cost involved.
They must stop preaching the false teaching of once saved always saved. This is the biggest deception of them all which is being perpetuated throughout the body of Christ. It is bringing more of My children to the pit of hell because they have been given “false” security.*
*The bulk of my book talks about true versus false conversion. Are you still not sure? Answer this one question the Holy Spirit asked me to pose? If you accept the mark of the beast talked about in the book of Revelation even though you have professed with your mouth the sinners prayer and have been saved, why then does Scripture say you will burn in hell? What happened to the position of once saved, always saved?
Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus."
Revelation 14:9-12 (NLT)
Thank you for your support and May God bless you!
