"Fruition"

As the End of summer is near I look forward to September, crisp fresh air to breath, beautiful colors to behold,  new opportunities, new Bible Studies & new changes in our lives that God has in store.

I am completely humbled and weep with gratitude to witness  how mighty our Lord is. 
He has brought dreams, visions & passions, that He gave to me years ago to fruition.
( I like to think it's a special mission he has called me to do so others will see him)...... perhaps others doubted things I spoke of were truly from God, I hold no offense to them, as I realize I am no woman of any spiritual means or education, no big credentials here,  to speak of.   I just love Jesus, that's all.  I believe He loves me, because His Word, The Bible tells me so. I believe He loves you.  Simple.  I long for simplicity, don't you?  I love the honest truth. Not a mans perspective or thoughts,  but Gods Honest truth spoken, unafraid. I actually search for places that are simple,  filled with honest truth, with no hidden motives, secrets or projections.  The Holy Spirit gives discernment to those who belong to him. For that I am grateful.  I'm sure you probably already know that. 
So, back to "fruition".

This season at HFS God continued to bring many women and families to us who are looking for direction, help and sometimes just a friend.  I don't get to choose who comes or how many come to HFS.  I just know we have to be ready in and out of season.  Actually, that lesson for me, or that beginning of the ministry began in 1996 in the New River area of Michigan, (that's near Grindstone and Port Austin) A couple of years later the Lord lead me to Pigeon/Elkton, Michigan.  That's where I learned about the true power of prayer and how it comes through personal surrender and then revival comes.  (yes, men and women) That was through Pastor Reggie at Elkton Missionary Church and a faithful servant of the Lord, Sherry Helmuth.  My confusion from previous false teachings and offenses diminished, and ultimately disappeared. The power of the Holy Spirit revealed.  Amazement and passion to follow Jesus hit me hard and has never left me.   My eyes were opened and understanding came, yes, change was possible for everyone and we had the instruction book all along, wow!  Let's read it, apply it and by the way, can we go while we are doing that?   Let's go unafraid...God said, "yes".

The vision, or as I like to say "mission" given to me 16 years ago is now producing fruit and that fruit is reproducing fruit! amen!
One of those ways is with continuing Discipleship & Mentoring with "You-niquely Woman".
The kick-off retreat on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron  2 weeks ago, were more than satisfying. I must share this with you, do you remember the old song... "Bind us Together Lord, Bind us Together..." that was the theme song, most unexpected and yet each woman so deeply blessed.  Only the Lord could have done it.
I had been looking and waiting on the Lord since 2005 for the appropriate time to begin this teaching.  Where and how,  I thought I would bring this teaching to the "city"... was not His way, but the time is now, His timing is here.  It went beautifully and God is raising women to lead and head ministries through Heartfelt Family Services.  We are ready.

What is "You-niquely Woman"? It is a 12 month Journey to Developing Spiritual Effectiveness for Women. They are Leading Ladies. God is equipping women to serve Him through His Word and Holy Spirit for all of life's issues. Strong enough for a man but made for a woman. 
These women have made a heart commitment to live and lead where they are.... God's Way. 
They have New Life as described in
2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new"  

We are women of faith: some of us work out of home as professionals and some serve in church, schools, ministries, communities and some are stay at home moms, however, we are all homemakers.   The Lord has called, and 7 women answered to this divine appointment.
We meet monthly for 1 year with in depth teaching and relationship requirements.
We know God has called us to love the lost, hurting and lonely.
Thank you for keeping us in prayer as we journey this training.

Pre-requisite: You must have completed & finished well, "To The Heart of the Matter" through HFS.


MORE THOUGHTS FROM DEB.....................With that being said, August 2012 marks the 7th year of living in the "city" as The Lord lead my husband and I back to the Detroit area.  We came "without knowing", only willing through obedience to the Lord calling us.  Obedience sometimes causes suffering in our lives, not just for us but for those around us, for His sake.  Then, at His special time, He reveals to us that He wants those around us to grow and learn and sometimes to leave us and to go & serve Him without knowing. 
Sometimes we push them out of the boat, close our eyes and then pray.
Sometimes they jump out of the boat and realize they can't swim, so they look for someone else to throw them a life ring.
Sometimes they leave too early with sweet kisses, and the Lord gently leads them back.
Sometimes the timing is perfect, and they leave and multiply and are fruitful!

Thank you Lord, You are always right on time. 
I would like to say, it's all worth it.  Thank you for showing me just enough to keep me, thank you for growing my faith in you.  Where you are is where I want to be.  Where you go, I'll go.  I love you Lord, thank you for loving me and providing all our needs as we serve.  In the name of sweet Jesus....amen.......deborah

Revelation 1:1-3 (NKJV)

1" The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, ² who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. ³ Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near."
