When I ask you to rise to your feet while we welcome the woman of God, no other than Pastor Debra ball from Healing Hands Ministry in Massachusetts.
Praise the Lord, everybody praise the Lord, everybody. Hallelujah, God is good and he is worthy to be praised. First, I want to give honor to God who's the head of my life? I want to give honor to The Shepherd of this house. Bishop, God bless you, and thank you. My friend first lady. God bless you. She's so true friend. I love this young lady right here, A better. Thank God for thank God for just being here. I thank God for my husband. I'm not a highway driver, so he has to take me around when I go different places. Praise God. I thank God from him and he is we do bring. Greetings from Healing Hands Ministry where I am the pastor Debra ball and my husband Elder ball is the assistant pastor at Freddy's. God. God is good. And yes, I'm nervous. This is a new place for me. The bring the word. So if you all, you know, just pray my strength in the Lord, I didn't know what to do.
But I said I had some stuff at home, or you can sit down, sorry, I told my husband, you know what, I'm going to leave those papers at home. Cuz, you know, sometimes I have a habit of when I'm studying, I'll see one thing and then I'll look and I'll see something else. Then I said no way to me know, this is just too much here then. You know, you can start getting confused about what you really want to preach about. But I'm going to preach about Sam's today, the 23rd. Psalms Hallelujah. Cuz I do know that the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want, praise God. I thank God for praise and worship. I thank God for that. I enjoy. Praise and worship. You know why? I pray that God will bless my hands but I'm not you know what? Has blessed our ministry. Amen to Fellowship on a Sunday cuz we Fellowship on the Saturday, because of the, the church that we were using and availability on the allowed us to worship on Saturday everybody, stay where you are? You with your hoverboard? To know, I'm Pentecostal, I'm Sanctified deal with his precious, hold where we had to worship a God, has blessed our ministry. As of September 1st, we will be fellowshipping on a Saturday. I mean, on a Sunday that I got to get my other set of eyes. Praise God. So you all continue to pray for our ministry because God is, is blessing. We just have to be more patient and wait on the Lord, cuz he didn't call me to come out and preach, and be a pastor to leave me stranded sometimes because we're in the flesh, we feel like we're being stranded in, God's Not Dead, But the word says God will never leave you. Nor will he forsake us? Praise God. So I know he's with us. I know who in, this is an honor and a privilege to be here on today. Praise God. So the scripture read as the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want no matter what we going through. Anything we need just because he is our Shepherd. He's there for some time it might feel like he's not sometimes. It might feel like we hit rock bottom but he is there to catch up so we don't have to worry about. Nothing number to says, he maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures, he leadeth me beside the Still Waters when I'm going through when we're going through certain situations and I like he lies Us beside that still what he gives us. Peace and whatever we're going to we don't have to wear a lot of time so that's why God says if you're going to pray don't worry. Try not to worry when you pray, I have to learn that for myself. I hadn't always been here, right? Where I'm at now in God believe me, Hallelujah. Cuz it took me three times to realize that I was saved and Sanctified. We had a Revival. See, I like to tell my story sometime. If that's all right, what you are? And I had gave a Revival blessing. Her mother Hill and she's not able to come to church now, but she brought me to this revival. The first night, I carried, I spoken tongue but I didn't even know where do the revivalist said I can hear it in person so they asked me. Do you have a testimony? Have, have you been filled? So I look I said, I can't lie and say yes. So I says what? I don't know. Later on that night when I got home, my mother called me. She says you were speaking in tongues but I didn't know it. So you have to know this thing for yourself. No matter what the people that are around you are cherry in your pastor, your elders, the missionaries. You have to know for yourself. So the second night I went And I got down on my knees cuz I wanted it to be saved. Filled with the Holy Ghost and I knew in my heart. I tear it again and I spoken tongue again and they asked me again. And I said, well, I don't know in the Bible is she looked at me? You know, because everybody else you knew but me. I said Lord you have to help me to recognize and let me see that I have the Holy Ghost. I said everybody saying I got feel. This is the second night I got feel. I didn't know it. But that glory to God hallelujah I got down and I was tearing at the girl you was purged everything. So I knew that I was filled with the Holy Ghost. So the Bible is once again she asked me she says her sister Debra. She said Are you feel? I tell you I ran around that church. I didn't even answer it yet. I just ran around the church cuz I knew that I was filled with the Holy Ghost and what I'm saying is we can feed Phil if that's what your heart desires, we can be filled with the Holy Ghost, but we have to know it for ourself. We can't I can't go by what first lady said. I can't go by what my sister has say. I can't even go buy with Bishop safe even though they all know it. I have to know. I don't know why I went there but I know it must be somebody that want to be filled with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost.
At least, are you don't have to bake it on cost us nothing? Because he paid the price already. He died on the cross for us to God. I tell you the Lord just be
Glory to God that. Somebody in here that want to be filled. I don't know who you are. Here that wants to be. Cuz I don't know exactly who's filled and who is not filled in here, but there's somebody in the sanctuary today that wants to be filled with his precious holy. So you got some work ahead of your fishing and number three, he was stored my stove, the latest me in the paths of righteousness, for his name's states. He can restore you, Hallelujah. I don't care what you going through. I don't care what you doing. You can be out there, you can for your drug dealer, you could be an alcoholic, you could be a smoker, you can be anything that's not of God, but he can restore you speak and bring me back to the place where you A bing. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Take away the nervousness. Lord. Thank you. Jesus. Hallelujah, restore. You do, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear. No evil for thou art with me by rod and thy staff. They comfort me, even though sometimes it feels like we're dying. Sometimes it feels like that we are dying even though we're walking through the shadow of death and we should not spare anyting. God does not give us the spirit of fear, Hallelujah, because we can't spare him. And, and and do what he tells us to do. We have to be brave in the Holy Ghost. We have to do with the Holy Ghost tells us to do. We have to read his word. Hallelujah. We have to study his word to show our self. How long you are palpable for what we do. We know when we spend a lot of people say, oh, underwear should know if you know, it's not God, it's a sin. If I go out there right now and shoot somebody that's not know what I've done. A lot of people always say, well, you know, I did, I didn't rip. Yes, you did. Realize because if you reading the word of God, you know, what's right? And you know, What's wrong? A meant? Perfect. I might be a pacifier, honey. Let me tell y'all something. I am not perfect. Hallelujah. Nobody is perfect. Perfect, perfect. We are striving. We are striving to be perfect. Hallelujah, if we stay in his words, if we read his word that will give us strength, I heard the sister when she was praying with the praise and worship was saying stream and that stuck with me. God will give us the strength to do whatever we need some time. It might feel like we can't go on but trust in the Lord. Hallelujah, be of good courage. Hallelujah. He will bring you through. Whatever you going to be a family member to your husband. Body that you going through with Hallelujah. They done something to you or give them It's hard to forgive and I'm speaking from experience. It's hard to forgive, but we must forgive, Hallelujah. If we say, we are a child of God and we left before God, we must forgive the person or persons that stuff and most of the time when something's done is to family and I hate to say it, but it's the family. Hallelujah, that will hurt you. Because you have to love to, you don't have to be all around them 24/7, but you do have to love them. Hallelujah. You do have to forgive them. Why? Because God is a forgiving God. You say, you were a child of God, give that person. Let that person know. Hallelujah, you can go to a decent and in order, let them know. Okay, you hurt me was just a Mary Lou, you said something and I didn't like it. You don't have to stand on the hill with horns and announced everything.
If you let them know that they hurt you and you let them know what I forgive you, but when you stay at stay at from your hair cuz God knows when you're saying it from your heart and when you're not saying it from your heart, yes he does. He knows when you're being real about what you're saying. So is somebody hurt. You forget them, let them know because if you say I can't say I'm a child of God and don't love like God, I can't say I'm a child of God and don't forgive like God, forgive us for everything over and over and over and over again. I got my quick. And got real with God. He have to go to me for a whole lot of stuff. I don't think he won't forgive you, cuz he will. That's what kind of man. He is a forgiving God because he loved us proved it. He died on the cross. He took all that. In around his head that yes, thank you. Got some help in there today at all that he went through all that pain for us.
Is the NFL grateful that God went through? What he went through for me cuz I don't know where I would be. Hallelujah. I wasn't. Thank you, Jesus. I wasn't always says, I have to, like, God, let me tell my stories that might encourage somebody. I used to go to church, I was brought up in the church, okay, I was raised, I was born in the church. I was brought up in the church, go to church, sing in the choir. Have my little shout at them while she out. And I want a real something that way, nobody doing say what she talking about, me know, but if the shoe fit better, put it on, Amen. If it don't, Say ouch. But I used to go to church.
And Senators have the Sunday after Sunday, just sitting there. And finally, I
Go home, eat dinner. Change my clothes and go to the club now, y'all know I wouldn't, right? For real. I was not right. I was playing with God back then. Praise God. But you know what? After a while, I have to get serious about this thing I couldn't I couldn't go on like this and I and I wasn't doing anything but her in myself, I was punishing myself. I might have thought I was making my mother mad because she was mushy. I know when she said Deborah and I knew I was in trouble cuz she will put my middle name on there, Deborah, and I don't, you know, it in in God,
What? This wasn't even my message. But somebody wants somebody wants to change their life. Somebody wants to be filled on today, I don't know who they are, and I'm not going to try to figure it out. Believe that the bishop of this is his church, but somebody needs to know, no matter what you doing this present day, what kind of life you're living at? You're not living for God that he will bring you in. He will save you, he will fill you with his precious. Holy God. Polk Avenue. Mistakes, and imma pass. And I'm not saying this. Because I think I'm better cuz I'm not God has no respecter person and I don't have no respecter person and God will help you with whatever you going through a family situation. No matter what it is. Hallelujah, tell people. I joke a lot to come, see my husband preaches to, what, he's a whole different type of creature than I am. He he's one of them moaning. Y'all know them own impression that hole in the side of the head. I'm not like that. I'm just a plain Ordinary Servant for God. And I just tried to 2 to give people the word of God, because I feel as long as I come from the word of God, I'm right about what I'm saying. Amen, amen, I'm right about what I'm saying. I don't know everything. That's why I tell people to studying your word. And sometimes my husband, he said honey you doing too much slowed down. Don't don't look up. Nothing else cuz I have piles of papers and I was like, not know. I can go in this church with all this stuff today and preach to all this stuff and God just told me 23rd. Psalm, then it says number five. I'll prepare a table. Before me in the presence of my enemies dial. Knighted my head with oil, my cup runneth over kind of went over there already but he'll set that table before your enemies. Look at the enemy that said was Jesus when he was at the table right there, dinner table with an enemy, we could be at work and we have an enemy, you could be on the bus for somebody to look you up and down and don't even know who you is. This mini me's in the church. I'm not saying this. Where is Bishop in the church? Really? They are enemies. Right? In God's house. They are planning to try to tear down and Destroy but God But God, that's why we thank God, that that table. Anything we need on that table, was there for that. In anything we need. If we need, Joy is on the table. If we need salvation is on the table. If we need. Healing is on the table. Hallelujah, God is good. He is worthy to be praised. Hallelujah. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me. Hallelujah. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I will Forever. I promise God hallelujah cuz this time I could have been dead and gone through sickness. I could have been dead in God. I got a and I'm not claiming up in the situation right now. Even when I came here, I wasn't really feeling that good because I have vertical and it makes you feel like you Yeah, like you're falling over in and that's why I was kind of Steel. I wasn't being disobedient about standing for the praise and worship, but I was Lord, you have to touch my body because I do have to take me to bring the words, but God is so good. He is a Healer anyting. He is a hip and I promised, God, I said, Lord, if you touch my body, Hallelujah, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I will praise your name forever. I will lift you up. God forever. I will give you praise from my lips. Father, God, I don't want nobody else praying. I want to do my own friends. I'm not saying, I don't want nobody to pray for me. But what I pray for myself, I wanted to be the one cuz I want God to know how much I appreciate him. I want God to know that he promised me in his wife cuz he said, he'll never nor forsake me and I thank God for that. So, no matter what you going through, no matter what, I don't care what is nothing too hard for God. It might seem like it because he, we are in the flesh. We are human. So we are going to have those human. Nothing's too hard for him. Hey, play with your husband.

I say, Lord me, you want me to go out there and I go and feed the people in Springfield people that are homeless, people that don't have nowhere to go people, that have no bed to lay their head on, we threw out a sectional a couple of weeks ago and you know, how you put the stuff on the curb and you get the stickers to put on. And they had the nice questions, you know, but somebody gave us something. And so rested, we will get rid of these, these two parts of the sectional.
I smoked one of the homeless is a husband and wife, they came and they took the cushions on the couch and I said, Thank You, Jesus. So, wherever they're at, they don't have a home, they don't have no Apartments. They, some of them stay in the park that's called Hennessy park. That's like down the street from us. I go and I cook for them and I feed the Homeless, they be like on the side of the store at the corner of the street where we live, and I go out, but God wants us to do. If it's not always the side here, it's on the outside. It's on the outside. With the people need to know about God. It's on the outside for us, to encourage them in, to show them and help them. Hey, Scott, it's not in here. I know mostly all of y'all know about God. They might know about God, too, but they need our help because they're struggling. That they're out there. They have nothing. I have nothing. Andre as Christians need to go.

If you see a homeless person, we work at the homeless shelter here in Enfield seasonal. And we feed the people every now, and again, I cook at home and I bring the hot food in because they have like those cups of soups and I know that you're tired of being grateful. I'll make a lasagna tonight with a tossed salad, you know, something different when they just enjoy it. But I think God for this and I'm not God says it's time for me to stop and you know what? I hope, I encourage. I really hope I encourage somebody on today. Hallelujah to do the right thing. If you don't even if you're not safe, I know the pastor can open up the Altar for y'all to come up here and give your life to Christ. If you're not already saved, if you're not already living for God, come on up and give your life to Christ. Hallelujah. Cuz you know, it don't cost you a dime. You don't have to put it on. Layaway is free, salvation is free. You are pray. My strength in the Lord.
