You are my May flowers! This is who you are to this ministry and to me! Your prayers have brought me forth from the spirit of death back to preaching God’s wonderful Word!
How can I thank you? And what can I say about your giving?! Just as other churches throughout the land have followed the recommendations of our government officials, our church has been closed --–BUT your obedience in giving has abundantly blessed and is paying for the costly TV programs. God has given me -- VCEA, the best-of-the-best prayer warriors and faithful givers. You are my brother, my sister, and the finest family of God any minister can dream of having!!
The LORD sends a personal word for you from Psalm 91: “You will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” I declare, “HE alone, the Lord, is your Refuge; your place of Safety; your God. HE rescues you from every trap, and protects you from deadly diseases. God covers you with His softness (feathers). HE shelters you with faithful promises so you will not be afraid. Don’t dread the diseases that live in darkness, for your God is a mighty healer.”
God says, “Thank you for making ME your God!! I will keep plagues from your home by multitudes of angels!” The LORD says, “Call on ME, I will rescue; I will answer you in time of trouble and give you my salvation!”
Remember God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” I AM has sent you, my dear friend, to me and this ministry. I do not have words to thank HIM or you for all that is being accomplished.…

Have you ever had “woe is me” times? We struggle, “Have we pleased our LORD?”
This morning, I re-read Deut 3:23: Moses is nearing the end of his life and recounting once again the history of Israel’s relationship with the Lord. He tells them, “Then I pleaded with the Lord at that time…” Oh, how my heart aches for Moses, even as my heart aches for those of you who are also going through troublesome times. We too plead with the LORD, “Oh LORD GOD...”
Now, I write this not to say, “Woe is me (Velma), but to be honest with you; I also have been in a great battle. For instance, one ran into my car and totaled it. I purchased another and it had serious problems.
My home in Kentucky of 42 years, sold. I watched as my furniture was loaded on a truck and stored in a storage unit just a short time after open heart surgery.
It could be tempting to settle into despondency or depression, but God has called and ordained you and me as Christians to be leaders in our world. Therefore we must choose to rise above and beyond these serious problems!
“Moses,” when I read of you, “my heart grieves for you! After ministering all those years; listening to the complaints of so many; fighting battles with enemies; yet, when you were so close to the Promised Land – you remained alone. You pleaded with God, “…let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon…” But God said, “No.” (Deut 3:25-27)
Only God was with Moses. You’ve been there, and I am there, feeling so “alone.” Let us pray one for another. We need each other! This is no time for Christians to be disagreeing.
The LORD could have said to Moses, its over, I don’t want you anymore. Moses had now finished his purpose, but the tremendous hope for Moses and us… “but from there (the troubles and exile) you will seek the LORD your GOD , and you will find HIM if you search for HIM with all your heart and soul.” (Deut 4:7-29)…

God declares to you: “How precious are my thoughts toward you…Allow My Holy Spirit to shake off the dust of painful words that caused much bruising. I made you a light to bring forth salvation, healings, and deliverance; because of your faithfulness, you have blessed multitudes. Oh, I have examined your heart. My workmanship is excellent in you! I watch over you--be not afraid--be not discouraged, disheartened, for trials will come; but as I overcame so will you. Every moment I cover you with My love and My safe keeping. I AM your Watchman!”
Lord, I cry out to You: Control my lips. I cry for mercy. Rescue me--protect me--keep me--You are my God! As I meditate upon the past and the way You brought me forth, I can truthfully say: God You rescued me--God You protected me--God You kept me.…
