Greetings in the name of our blessed Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! It’s been quite a month! Despite the tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s murder, God is prevailing and the revival fire has been lit. Over 100 million views and counting of people who heard the gospel and the call to embrace Jesus as their Savior.
On October 1st, I will start teaching a class at Grace Community Church on Identity in Christ and Spiritual Warfare. Its purpose is to train the folks who will be leading the new Recovery Program at South Greenwood Church. I am excited to equip the equippers as they develop this Christ-Centered Recovery Program using the Exchanged Life Truths.
I have a few new individual clients, but I sense the Lord leading me to train more trainers as we see the numbers of new believers increase. In 2020, when I asked the Lord why He was moving me to Greenwood, SC, His response in my spirit was “ Robyn, there’s a tsunami wave of revival coming, and I need you down there.” Well, I believe that wave has started to crash, and we all need to be ready to help people heal and grow.
The spiritual warfare has also increased. A number of us have experienced intense fatigue. So, please continue to pray a hedge of protection around me and Donny.
The Lord did bless me with a wonderful week of rest in Ft Myers FL in June. And a second week in that same area in early August. The second week was spent helping my god-daughter, Amanda, get settled in the area. Her mom and several siblings came from Switzerland to warm up and get her moved over here where she plans on resuming her nursing career. It was so great to be with them in person!
Testimony Time
Ruthie grew up in a very dysfunctional family. Emotional and physical abuse were an everyday occurrence. As a teenager, she started looking for love and instead found heartache and more abuse.
Her father continually spoke rejection, and so, she found guys who would continue to send these ‘normal’ messages to her. She soon married one of those men and had three kids with him.
She began to parent from her woundedness, and the dysfunction continued into her family. Eventually, the marriage ended, but her search for love and security continued. She soon found another man who was just as damaged as her and they married.
Fast forward several decades, they are still together but more for convenience than love. Her relationship with some of her kids is strained from all the hurt they are carrying.
She went through Journey Tools, but needed to review how to use it with me individually. She wants inner healing for herself and her relationships with her kids. Her husband is still unsaved and continues to interact out of his hurt. However, she is learning to see herself through God’s eyes instead of her husband’s.
The Spirit is helping her to do a deep clean of the years of verbal and physical abuse. As she offers her hurt to Him, He is faithful to exchange it all for His peace and love. Healing is coming slowly but steadily as she learns to receive from Him all that she has been looking for her whole life. Her countenance is far more joyful as she looks to Jesus to be her Husband.
There is still a lot of healing needed in her marriage and with her grown kids. But God is faithful! He is going to restore and heal those relationships too!
Ken Keeler Update
From Pastor Ken Keeler: I am preaching every Sunday night at my church and have started a new series called the Great Words of the Bible. It deals with words like Justification, Propitiation, Redemption, Regeneration, etc. These words are packed with meaning and great application to our walk with Christ.
I am leading the Men’s Bible study at my church every Wednesday night, we are studying 1 Thessalonians. It is a group of men who are hungry for the Word.
Please pray for the Lord to use me in these weekly opportunities. Again, thank you for your prayers!
