Prophecies 2
Rest in Me!
“Rest in Me! Rest in My goodness and favor for your lives!
Do not be tempted to justify yourselves. Allow Me to justify you before others.
You have nothing to prove except to walk in obedience to Me and My Words.
Do not let people frighten you with their own high standards.
Their self righteousness has nothing to do with My Kingdom, but has only grown from the imagination within their own hearts.
They seek their own will rather than Mine, but they use My Name to establish their own purposes.
Man’s attempts at righteousness will fail for the heart is deceitful and cannot be trusted.
Those who seek their own authority are walking in the footsteps of the deceiver of mankind.
The exaltation of self is a dangerous trap. Do not copy those who have already fallen into it.
My righteousness will be established in the lives of those whose hearts are abandoned to Me, those who have given over their lives to Me, who walk in humility submitted to the guidance of My Holy Spirit.
They will show others a different way to live and to love, and they will not seek anything for themselves.
Their names will be hidden in My Name, and their lives will be poured out as a fragrant offering to Me.
I delight in such ones and will show Myself strong on their behalf. Follow their example and find the fullness of life in these end of days.
Rest in Me. Rest in My goodness and I will receive you as My very own!”

The Underdogs Will Be the Overcomers!
This is for someone tonight!
I heard, “The Underdogs Will Be the Overcomers!”
“Beloved, I have always hidden My Champions in unlikely places.
I do not look as man looks. Man looks at appearance but I look at the heart. Those the world passed over, I have been preparing. Those called “too small,” I have been training.
Those the world has forgotten.
Standing in the background.
Hiding in caves.
Thrown in prisons.
Ignored in the shadows.
But I have not forgotten you.
I have hidden you under My Wings.
David was overlooked.
Jesse did not consider him.
He brought the strong ones.
The impressive ones.
The prideful ones.
But I chose the shepherd and anointed him.
The world looks at the outward appearance.
But I look at the heart.
The overlooked son became the giant slayer.
The boy became the king.
Joseph was thrown into a pit.
Sold as a slave.
Forgotten in prison.
But Heaven never lost sight of him.
I made the prisoner a ruler.
And his nation’s deliverer.
Gideon called himself weak.
But I called him mighty warrior
before he ever believed it.
I delight in taking the “least of these”
And giving them the greatest victories.
Even My Son was scorned.
The world asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
He was rejected.
Despised.
Crucified.
Yet He rose again in Victory.
There was never a doubt. It was set in Stone, Beloved.
You are not too late.
You are never forgotten.
You were hidden on purpose.
Your obscurity has been your protection.
Your waiting has been your weapon.
I AM a Banner for the overlooked,
A Witness for the hidden,
The Stone the builders rejected
has become the Chief Cornerstone.
The underdogs will rise.
The “foolish” shall confound the wise.
The weak shall shame the strong.
Those the world rejected will rule and reign with Me forever.
Heaven has always had its eye on you, Dear One.
I exalt the humble.
The last shall be first.
The underdogs are now the overcomers.
And your due time is near.”
“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” 1 Peter 5:6.
“Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7.

Transitions That Call Upon Each of Us to Come Forth as Warriors!
Good morning,
I must apologize for not being present. I will explain what has been going on in our lives here at Hesed Ministries.
We have gone through transitions that called upon each of us to come forth as Warriors.
I’d like to think that we graduated and moved to the next level, that’s what I would like to think.
Whether we did or not, God is the final judge on that! Either way after the smoke cleared, we’re still standing!
My husband for 52 years transitioned to glory on March 2. 2025. He had fought a good fight against sickness and disease since the first of January.
He went home to be with his LORD and Savior surrounded by his Church. We were worshiping his Father and ours as he took his last breath on this side of heaven.
All of the body at Hesed, and his family and friends miss his person here on earth.
We know the Scripture tells us not to be ignorant concerning those who are asleep, that we sorrow not as those who have no hope. (1 Thessalonians 4:13)
We marched on as we held each other’s hands up.
While Mike, my husband was in the hospital, I had been scheduled for a heart ablation and a Watchmen procedure.
I was in great health other than the AFib and went into surgery fully persuaded that all was well. While I was in recovery my blood pressure dropped to 40/15 and continued to decline.
We continued to believe God no matter what we saw. They transferred me to ICU and I was there for two days as they ran all kinds of tests to try and locate the issue.
They thought it was because my cortisol levels were low, so they gave me steroids to help raise my blood pressure and I was able to go home on the third day.
It was only suppose to be a one day surgery. I am not relaying this information for empathy, no, not all, I just want you to understand that we have an enemy who wants to kill, steal, and destroy, but Jesus came to give us life more abundantly.
This happened in February while my husband was in another hospital standing for his life.
He saw a glimpse of Glory and departed his earthly tent.
“For we know that if our earthly house, this tabernacle, were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,” 2 Corinthians 5:1.
After these tests, trials, and tribulations more was to be had, I was at the hospital again in May. They took an MRI, and just as non-caring as they could, they told me that I had a mass that looked like a tumor.
That Doctor told me that I need to see my primary care doctor stat (quickly), and I did.
God swooped in and gave me supernatural Faith, as it was beyond me. I was walking in a ‘Holy Capsule’. It was Philippians 4:7 “The peace of God which transcends all understanding, that guards your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus,” — that kind of Holy Capsule!
You know that my primary care Doctor got in touch with the most caring team of doctors at The Inova Schar Cancer Institute and I told her that I didn’t believe it was cancerous or a tumor!
To my shock, she said, “I will agree with you!”
So in July, 4 months after my husband went to be with The LORD and 5 months after my heart procedure and serous episode there, I had another surgery to remove the mass.
It was benign, it wasn’t a tumor, it was a cyst! The Doctor said it had shriveled up inside me!
After this surgery, my blood pressure plummeted two days later, on the day I was expected to come home.
I was moved to ICU for two days and ministered life saving medications. God is merciful!
I thank God for all of the prayer warriors, my family, and friends for all of their support. Thank God for the body, the family of God, I love those people.
The next month, in August, I received a devastating call that my sister, who was two years younger than me, had suddenly died and they determined through an autopsy, that she had a stroke.
I was in shock! I talked to my sister most everyday. She lived in Dallas, Texas and I am still processing her passing.
Now, the final part of the year 2025 is as hard as my husband graduating and my sister’s sudden death.
God reminded me that I was not called to be a pastor. I knew this, but I was going to do my best to keep the Ministry going.
I worked along with my husband to be a helpmeet in Ministry and I didn’t think I could take anymore changes.
I cried a little everyday from October to December as we closed Hesed Ministries December 28th.
We were in ministry for 29 years. Yes, it was like a death.
I and the body at Hesed are recovering, but we have God’s promises:
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof….” Ecclesiastes 7:8.
”Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19.
We are determined to be like our example of Faith. Our man of God was faithful, dedicated, and loved God and His People.
We will continue the blog and see what else the Father has in store for us.
So please pray for the people of Hesed Ministries, and I also desire your prayers.
We are victorious.
“We have this treasure in earthern vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed, we are perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed, always carrying about in the body the dying of The LORD Jesus Christ, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-10.
And remember, “for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith!” (1 John 5:4)
Our Father always has a way of turning what the enemy meant for our harm to our good.
Let’s see what new thing God will do!
