January 2023 Newletter - May the LORD bless you richly in 2023

Do you feel as I do, where has 2022 gone? I ask myself, “Have I obeyed the Lord to the best of my ability?” At this time, I feel the Lord is calling us to cast away the hurts and hindrances of the old year and prepare ourselves to receive His refreshing NEW blessings. He is giving us a New Year, a new beginning; how wonderful is that!
For many of us 2022 was a very difficult year! But we refused to give up or give in to the obstacles looming before us like mighty giants. My friend, I know you’ve asked, “WHY LORD?” Why are all these things happening – homelessness, hunger, war, suffering? God is calling His children to draw closer to Him and cry out - "God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me." (Ps. 61:1-3)
We desperately need God’s guidance and protection as we walk in today’s world. It is like no other time on earth. God is preparing us for the return of our Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to seek His will in our lives like never before. We need to be a witness to this lost and hurting world, bringing the precious love of Jesus into the hopeless lives of those who don’t know Him!
God will have Himself a people who will appreciate and protect their gifts and anointing — Look in Revelation 19:7
(NLT Bible) - "Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us rejoice, and let us give honor to Him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, AND THE BRIDE HAS PREPARED HERSELF."“How do I prepare myself?”you ask. When you successfully walked through those fiery trials in 2022, you were being prepared for 19:8 and the New Year of 2023! "She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear. For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people." Remember hearing God’s Voice is always so very important, but especially NOW! Obey His voice quickly, lest we be drawn into procrastination and deceit from the enemy of our soul.

, and our current television schedule. Due to high cost, we will no longer be televised on Dish, DirectTV or satellite. FORGIVEN can be viewed on CTN Clearwater station or PTL through live streaming of their network. PTL also broadcasts on several cable networks in multiple areas of the country. If you have Internet access through computer, ROKU or smart phone, our YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/channel/UC8DUle_fT20z4VM3yGbmMrg, also has Forgiven programs available. Meanwhile, we will be offering CDs for listening or DVDs for watching our programs. Please write to us and request whichever you prefer.
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial blessings. I anticipate with excitement all God will do for His children in 2023!! Look to the eastern sky for His coming…


HERE AM I LORD .... SEND ME:
​ 

The Holy Spirit spoke, “Velma, don’t be afraid. I have opened the door to  churches in the US, Africa, Philippines and others.” This was in the beginning of my travels. Once I stepped out in faith, and He saw my heart pure and sincere to minister to souls wherever He opened the doors, He allowed me to go into places such as Germany, Dubai, Austria, France, and twice to Israel. I spent years ministering in the islands of Hawaii. We don’t open the doors! God does! Stand firm in the Lord until He opens the doors for you! Stand firm!

Are you are feeling a change in your heart? If God is speaking to you, don’t be afraid to obey Him. God’s Word: “Look! He has placed the land in front of you. Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors has promised you. Don’t be afraid! And don’t be discouraged!” (Deuteronomy 1:21 NLT)

We are in days of chaos, as the coming of the Lord draws closer. The battle is spiritual and we must prepare our hearts and minds for what is to come. Draw closer to our God as never before! We are the soldiers in the army of our King.
God is once again speaking to His children: “But I said to you don’t be shocked or afraid of them! (And the “them” can be anything threatening you) The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you…” (Deuteronomy 1:29-30, NLT)  One day the Christians are going to say, “Come and see what our God has done! What awesome miracles He performs for His people!” (Ps 66:3-4, NLT)
 
“For by His great power He rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance.” (Ps 66:7, NLT) We have to remember it is not the people – it is leadership failing to hear and obey the LORD that brings a nation to its knees. We must remember the innocent people in Ukraine, Russia and other countries. Pray for peace, pray for lost souls, pray  the leaders of each country in our world. Pray they will hear and obey the voice of the Lord.

Television Ministry:

Please be in prayer that God will anoint each Forgiven program with the fire from heaven so it will speak to the hearts and minds of every viewer. Please pray the Lord will give me supernatural strength to bring forth His word whenever I am making programs or delivering the word of the Lord through any means. We currently air on five Christian television networks (CTN, PTL, KAZQ, TBN and WPBM).  A big THANK YOU for all your prayers and support!! Thank you for helping us go through the doors the Lord is opening. Also, thank you for praying and encouraging me.
