~ CLARION CALL ~

*

a Holy Shake-up
by God Himself!

* * *

The alarm is ringing off the wall
and far too many of us
are drowsily
reaching
for the snooze button

~

How long, Sleeping Giant
will we continue as we are
exclusive and secluded

~

How long, Sleeping Giant
will we sleep and do nothing

*

~

darkness is increasing
hell is unleashing
the vilest of the vile
and it’s spreading
and heading
for the heart of every child

~

*

Body of Christ, it’s time to wake up
and get up
and take our place

Oh, let’s make haste

~

Our children are in trouble

~

And a double-minded man
well, he is unstable
in all his ways
that’s why so many of us
walk around in a daze
in these troubling times

*

It’s time to grow up and stand tall
and do something
about their pain
their darkness
and their shame

~

Far, far too many of our children
think they are nothing
and have no value

~

Much of how they feel
has to do with what we do
and what we
do not do

~

With eyes wide open
are we refusing to see
the loss of their innocence
and their purity

~

Children all over
hate the very skin they’re in
yes they loathe themselves
they’ve been violated
by sin

~

Not much does it appear to us
they have feelings
that’s serious

~

And because of all
our skeletons
they lash out
in rebellion

~

Lord have mercy
have mercy please

FAX-A-THON . . .

FOR AN INCREDIBLE MOM ! ! !

~

Have you ever met someone so special, so beautiful, that after only one brief encounter, you knew instantly that you belonged together and your world would never be the same?

Well, that’s how it was for my dear friend Debra Shiveley Welch when she first looked into the eyes of her baby boy, Christopher. Love instantly filled her heart and spilled over into her eyes. She had never seen anyone as precious and lovely as her “beautiful boy”.

She had prayed for him. Longed for him. Ached for him.
Prepared for him . . . and now, he was here.

She may not have been his birth mom, but he was definitely the son of her soul.

Here are Debra’s own words, “I firmly believe that I have received the same child I was meant to receive, whether I gave birth or adopted. The same soul, the same entity, was meant to be mine, from the beginning of time.”

http://www.debrashiveleywelch.net/soms.htm

The power of one small, innocent child changed the very life of a precious woman desperate to be a mom. She needed him and oh how he needed her. The two of them were answers to each other. Divine orchestration had brought them together. And I thank our Heavenly Father for how He works all things out for our good. Yes, I thank Him massively for fulfilling a dream so laden with tenacious desire! The dream of motherhood!

Debra changed Chris’ world. And Chris changed Debra’s. But I would like to change both of their worlds. This kind of love must be made known to the masses. But how? What can I do?

Earlier tonight I had an idea. I would have a Fax-a-thon! ~ I know I could email also, but for now, I choose to have a Fax-a-thon!

So I am putting out a challenge here in the cyber-world to fax a brief note to Regis & Kelly for 30 days – telling them about Debra & Chris and asking that they open wide a door of opportunity by having them as guests to share their incredible story.

I am strongly appealing to all Baby Boomers and especially Boomer Diva Nation.

Are you up for the challenge?

Let’s commit to spotlighting our Sister and her beloved son.

For the next 30 days, let’s all commit to faxing the Regis & Kelly show, and if you have another program or media you think will be accommodating, then write me here and share your thoughts. But for now, I’ll start with Regis & Kelly. I hope you will too!

Debra’s website is: http://www.debrashiveleywelch.net/

The Fax Number for Regis & Kelly is: 800-330-1106

~  Nothing is impossible to the one who believes!  ~

I believe that very soon a door will open for Debra & Chris that no man can close!

Blessings & Much Love,
Ora ~

We’re truly blessed to have a precious, precious leader like Beverly Mahone. For where we are today is evidence of her true greatness, her strong leadership skills, and her unconditional love!

My precious friend, Kathie M. Thomas from Australia, would like to invite you to join her for one exciting, thrilling, electrifying day as her book is launched on Amazon.com!

I’m not sure if you understand how awesome this is, or what an accomplishment already this is for Kathie to even have her book here in the United States on Amazon! Not an easy task. But one well worth all her efforts!

~

Her book is called “Worth More Than Rubies.”

And now those of us who are here in the U.S.A., we are presented with a marvelous opportunity to show our hospitality and compassion and support by helping a precious Australian author with her book launch by purchasing a book during the 24-hour period of the launch.

Just one book!

~

And to show you her sincere appreciation for your purchasing one book in the allotted 24-hour period of her book launch, you could qualify to receive over $1500 worth of gifts, just for buying one book!

Hello my Father’s Beloved . . .

Sweet, sweet greetings to Divinely Framed You!

There is no fear in love.

Now don’t let those words “scare” you. Put back on your courage jacket, wrap it snugly around you. And let’s walk this out together. Ready? Ok, here we go now.

There is no fear in love.

Did you know that once you truly know who you are in Christ and the magnitude of Who He is in you . . . that you will be completely fearless?

Yes, completely fearless!

Seriously think about these next statements: If you are doing anything in fear, you have not yet been made perfect in love. And if you have not stepped out because of some fear, you have not yet been made perfect in love.

Let me say that again.

If what you are doing . . . is not being done without fear . . . then you, my Beautiful Sister, are not yet made perfect in love. And if you are not doing because of fear . . . you, my Father’s Beloved, are not yet made perfect in love.

The Word of God says :

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” - I John 4:18 KJV

Now, let’s look at that same scripture in the Amplified Bible:

“There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment; and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].” - I Jon 4:18 Amplified Bible

There is no fear in love! ~ But not so with fear!

Fear has great torment.

And the Lord your God, does not want you tormented in any area of your life.

God is love , and He so loves incredible you. ~ Oh, my Phenomenal Sister, know that your Father and my Father totally loves Wonderful, Significant You!

His love for you, Divinely Framed Woman of God, is absolutely outrageous, unconditional and so eternal. The Father God has already settled it when it comes to you, His Beloved. He loves you. Yes, He unequivocally, undeniably loves Wonderful You.

There is not one thing that can make your Heavenly Father change His mind. He cannot be bribed or threatened. His love for Phenomenal You is not up for negotiation!

Please know that for yourself.

And from this moment on, Treasured Jewel of the Most High God, let not your heart be troubled; rejoice in and settle down deeply in the love of your Gracious God. Do not dismay. There’s no stopping you now. You are the Daughter of the King of kings! No weapon formed against you can prosper. So, again I say, let not your heart be troubled. Be of good courage, and choose to FEAR NOT, Fearless Woman of God!

Blessings & Surpassing Peace,
Ora ~
