Woman Thou Art Loosed? Is That What He Said?
(檢視更多...)
W.H.O.L.E. Ministries is a ministry for women and men who have gone through tough and devastating situations in life and are now lost and hurting. Jesus can heal us of our hurts, habits, and hang-ups. However, He must first get us to admit we need His help - we have to be tired of dealing with issues on our own. When we get to the point where we are willing to try anything to get out of the mess we are in, then God can step in and make us free. Christ can mend every broken dream, heart, or life. Whether it happened today or several years ago, Christ can bring joy and restoration, hope, peace, love, rest, purpose, fulfillment and completeness. Your faith can make you WHOLE again.
You do not have to fantasize about becoming WHOLE. You can be WHOLE! It is a reality according to the Word of God. God has a wonderful plan for your life and it starts by knowing that with Him you are complete. Just like the woman in the bible with the issue of blood, she came to Jesus broken and without hope. She left Him healed because of her faith. Let Jesus complete you. Let him speak the same words to you, “Your faith has made you WHOLE.”
Do you remember the story about the ten lepers in the bible. Jesus healed them and they went their way. However, one came back to Jesus and said "Thank You." Jesus acknowledged that he knew there were more that received healing but because this man came back to say thank you, He received a special touch. He was made WHOLE.
There is something to this word WHOLE. Not every healing in the gospels did Jesus say, "You are made WHOLE" but when he did say it. It meant complete, restored to new condition. WOW, can you imagine being WHOLE. The key is to understand that you cannot do it. It has to be something bigger, stronger, and more powerful than you are. If you have not guessed it the only thing that is more powerful than you is ...GOD. We can do some wonderful things with mind over matter but we cannot restore ourselves to new condition.
When you think about it, there is only one decision that needs to be made...Will you be made WHOLE? Are you willing to let go of the hurt, the pain, the frustration, the fear, the anger, the doubt, and all the other emotions we go through when we have been traumatized. Whether it was losing your job, to being divorced, losing a child, being molested as a child, being raped, mentally abused, verbally abused, physically abused, emotionally scared, etc. You can bring it to Jesus and lay it at his feet, rest-assured that he can handle it. Press your way to him and allow yourself to be broken so that the anointing in your life can be released. You no longer have to live in the background, let God restore you to your rightful place in Him.
There is a process in becoming WHOLE. This process like any other process at times will not feel pleasant, it will take you out of your comfort zone and cause you to totally depend on God.
What does the road to WHOLENESS look like:
1. God Promises to restore us to our former state of Wholeness (Psalms 23:1-3)
The Lord Promises to restore us. The beginning of restoration and healing is to understand that God is the one that can and will do the work. He restores our soul, he leads us beside the still waters, He leads us sown the path of righteousness for His namesake. He causes us to lie down in green pastures. Even thought you may have been in this state for a while and accepted that this is just the way it is...God promises to bring healing and restoration. He promises to bring Wholeness.
2. Wholeness includes being freed from guilt of lost years. (Joel 2:25-27)
When you read this passage you will see that God intent is never to have His people suffer for a long period of time. This means the things we go through that strip a part of us away. God will be the one to restore it to us in due time. I love this scripture because there is no timeframe. So Hold on my sister, be strong my brother, your change is going to come. That old saying "and this too shall pass" it is more than just a cliché. It is a reality.
3. Wholeness includes healing from wounds that includes our feeling as if nobody wants us anymore. (Jeremiah 30:17)
God promises are sure and in this scripture he says, “when I bring you home again” This means he will bring us back from places where we feel like a outcast and that no one will ever want us. God will rebuild our lives and that includes our inner man. The most important thing you will realize is that you are always loved and wanted by God. We must allow God to have the last say about our lives and not worry about what others will think or say. Not even our own feelings should be taken into consideration. Our feeling will lie to us but God’s word is true.
4. Wholeness begins when we s-t-r-e-t-c-h ourselves to believe that we will be whole. (Matthew 12:9-14)
This is where you come in. God will challenge you to do something you feel is not possible but if you can just trust God and do it, you will be made whole. Remember the woman with the issue of blood had to press her way to Jesus, the Leper had to return and say “thank you” and in this scripture the man with the withered hand had to stretch forth his hand. There is more Naman had to dip in the Jordan River, The blind man had to cry out to Jesus…I think you are getting the picture. It may be something as simple as saying thank you or it may be something that is physically challenging but the key is that you CAN do it. One more thing, be willing to reveal the hurt. Do not keep it hidden. This may mean that you have to relive that pain to bring it to the surface. Trust God to be there to shield you and wipe away every tear. No situation, bad relationship, or wounded spirit is beyond God’s ability to heal and restore. You can be sure there are no surprises for God and anything you can s-t-r-e-t-c-h out to the Lord…He is able and willing to heal.
5. Wholeness is complete when we are free from seeing everyone else as a reminder of our past hurts. (Mark 8:22-25)
Wholeness begins when we give it all to Jesus. It is complete when we are able to see others clearly. How many times have we done ministry with a bulletproof vest on in the spirit. We feel that we are being effective but we are not we are just going through the motions. Nothing is stocking because the people see that we are guarded or we tend to become extremely angry at the littlest incident. We say things like all women are…, all men are…, they always do that…, this race or that race… and so on. This is an indication that we are not seeing clearly and have been hurt. This also shows that we have not truly healed. Our inability to be healed is manifested by blaming entire groups for a single person’s action that badly wounded us. We should not settle for residual hurt that keeps us angry or bitter towards an entire group. It is God’s desire that we are healed and restored (made whole). Do not let the hurts of the past hinder you in the present or the future. It is true that we can be deeply wounded by the situation and not want to experience it ever again, however, God is able to heal even deep wounds and He can heal us to the point that we can see clearly again. This allows us to be open to what God wants to do in our lives today. A scar for some people is an embarrassing reminder of a past hurt. I challenge you today to let your scar be a victorious reminder of a battle that the enemy intended for our destruction but we survived. Every time we see the scar or think about the situation, let us rejoice because whatever caused the wound was not able to take our lives. We can be free in Jesus. Let us allow the Lord to remove guilt, regrets, and wounds and take us back to a state of wholeness.

About Linda
Evangelist Linda is no stranger to painful situations. However, knowing that Jesus is a healer she has allowed Him to heal her of all her habits, hang-ups and hurts. She understands the process that you must go through to clear your mind of the past.
The Lord has shown her how to use all the messy and painful things that has happened in her life as a ministry to others. We all have something that has floored us at one time or another, what matters most is how we use it. Will you let it stop you or will you learn from it and help others that are facing the same hurdles in life. We all have an “I” story that will help someone else in their time of struggle and need.
Evangelist Linda is the founder and visionary of W.H.O.L.E. Ministries. God claimed Linda’s heart at the tender age of 6. However, it was not until 14 when she accepted her calling and truly learned to trust God. The Lord allowed her to experience heartache, pain, misery, failure, and unmentionable things, which a child should never face, to get her attention. She became tired of running and went to a Catholic Church and asked God to show her what He was really like. She wanted to know Him for herself. Two weeks later, while visiting some friends in Loomis, CA. in a backslidden state of mind, during a Sunday night worship service with the power of God all over her, refused to Praise God unless she was going to praise him for real. She did not want to be a hypocrite. That evening, the vision came, Linda remembers this vision as though it happened yesterday. She was standing in a dark room and the face of Jesus appeared to her. Although she could not see any specific characteristics, she knew it was Jesus. His face was so close that she could have reached out and touched it while still feeling the back side of her own hand against her face. The voice came and said, “Linda, I love you. I died for you. I want you to prophesy, preach and teach my Word.” When she awoke, she remembers shaking and feeling the love, she had longed for as a child. However, what did it mean? She shared her vision with no one. She allowed it to slip away in the back of her memory. She did make a commitment to God to be and do whatever He wills. She has not walked away from the commitment made that day.
Linda was just 12 when she witnessed a very good friend being gunned down, not far from where she stood. It was the mercy and divine intervention of God that a stray bullet did not claim her life that day. Several years after this incident, walking down Sutter Street in Downtown San Francisco, the Holy Spirit allowed her to meet up with a woman that revealed to her that she was behind the vicious attack that claimed her friend’s life and how she, then just a child herself, could not tell them about Linda. This meeting was a wake up call for Linda. As she walked away with tears swelling in her eyes, she asked God, “WHY?” The Lord brought back to her memory the vision that she had at the age of 14. Linda now being 18, spoke to her Pastor, Rev. Marilynn Gazowsky about the vision. Sis. Marilynn advised her that God had called her to ministry and that ministry would be made clear to her in time. In the meantime, Linda began to be taught and mentored by her pastor and other ministers in her church.
An anointed and dynamic minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Linda was ordain at Victory In Praise Church on April 22, 2002 as an Elder with her primary calling being Evangelist. Elder Linda brings forth a life-changing ministry that is both powerful and enlightening. The Lord is using Linda to encourage women, young people, children, and men through her preaching and teaching ministry. It has been her privilege to serve at Victory In Praise Church, Vision Conference, retreats, San Francisco Lighthouse, Voice of Pentecost Church, workshops, revivals, and bible study groups. The Lord has afforded her the opportunity to minister to the needs of singles through a weekly Singles small group that spreads the gospel within her community. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Linda has answered the call to establish "W.H.O.L.E. Ministries" to guide women and men to live according to God’s word in WHOLEness. At present, she is writing her autobiography, appropriately titled "What You Don’t Know, CAN Hurt You.”
Elder Linda has been a proud member of Victory In Praise Church, of Stockton, California under the Pastoral leadership of Bishop Rufus K. Turner and his lovely wife, Pastor Trena L. Turner, since May of 2001. She is a member of the Pastoral Staff where she serves in the following areas: Director of the Singles’ Ministry, Sign Language Interpreter, Administrative Assistant for Visionaries Pursuing Excellence, Inc. and VIP Bible Institute and assisting in the Missions Department. Linda passionately teaches the Word of God, touching the lives of the Singles, Women’s Ministry, and every soul under the sound of her voice. Linda, currently enrolled in University of Phoenix to obtain a BA in Business Administration, Sacramento, CA and has recently enrolled in Trinity Life Bible College Online Program, Sacramento, CA for an AA in Ministerial Arts. In her perpetual pursuit to know more about the ministry and serving humanity for the cause of Christ, Linda plans to pursue a certificate in biblical counseling from Trinity Life Bible College, an AA in Communications from AIU Online along with a BA in Visual Communications and eventually a Masters of Divinity in Theology.
She begins each day with prayer and quiet time, allowing her to refresh her gifts from God. Linda is a single woman with no children. Most importantly, She is an one God, apostolic, tongue talking, holy roller, born-again, heaven bound, believer in the liberating power of Jesus Name, washed in the blood, sanctified by the spirit, believes in Holiness, set free at Pentecostal alter on her knees and she is not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ!
