The Amazing Grace of God

In my heart has always been a cry for the Nations as well as a desire to see God's people live happily and abundantly here on the earth. This desire was there when I first met Jesus on the road that was I thought, at the time, leading to nowhere! On April 27th 1980, I met Jesus, in my darkest hour, when I was crying out for help in my heart, and dying in my soul. I know what it is to be far from God, and to also encounter His presence right in the midst of that turmoil and confusion.

It is a long story, and some of it you can read in my websiteI was lost and afraid, wanting so much to be loved and accepted, and willing to do almost anything to get that love and acceptance. I know what it is to feel so afraid to open up and share my heart, lest I be rejected and hurt once again. I know what it is to be no longer in control of my own life, but be so needy for affection and attention, that I lived like a victim.

It has taken some time for me to move out of the mentality of a victim in life, and making the choices that would give me a totally free and happy life. You see I realized that it is up to me to be completely free, and open my heart, and be real about the issues that I struggled with, to find my own truth within. I do believe sincerely that the Lord knocks on the door of our hearts, and wants to come in and help us to be whole and well again. But we often, are so afraid, and so conditioned by our circumstances in life, that we just don't open it.

We keep repeating behavior that is a result of the hurts and the conditioning of the past, and we struggle with reactions that are actually hurting others, and us. We find that our relationships are not improving, or are not fruitful or healthy. And still we think to ourselves, why? Why doesn't God do something? And all the time God is saying to us "My child, I have put within you, the power and the strength to overcome anything that has been done to you in life, anything that has taken away your dignity, your trust, your hope or your happiness".

So you see, I have lived through all this, I know what it is to be desperately sad, and empty within…and I also know what it is to be free…that's why this vision of "Healing Hearts"…because I care, because I know, because I've been there. We all have different stories, but basically we are the same, because we all want and need love, we all want to be accepted, acknowledged, and understood.

Janny's song Even though the rain comes down, It brings life into the ground, And I know the sunless sky, That brings hope again, to this heart of mine. I know God can do all things, Broken lives and broken wings, Only he can mend a heart, That this world has torn apart, Dont look back into the past, What was fire now is ashe, let it all be dead and gone, TIme is now, for moving on, As the seasons make their turn theres a lesson here to learn Broken wings take time to mend, before they learn to fly again, On the breath of God they'll soar, They'll be stronger than before , On the breath of God I'll soar, I'll be stronger than before, On the breath of God You'll soar, You'll be stronger before. Partial words of song by JANNY GREIN

The Anointing of God
Is the Power of God
or the presence of God
Which is able to heal
Set free the heart
Save the soul
It is within the believer
Of Jesus Christ
