History Deniece Senter Ministries reaches the Dinah(s) of this world taken from the 34th Chapter of Genesis. Dinah's name means "Judgment." The powerful anointing on Dinah's life saves cities and restores nations.

Dinah was the daughter of Jacob. She was raped, battered, scandalized, abused and called out of her name. She was the only sister of 12 brothers who loved her dearly, and who would do whatever it took to fight for her. She was the great granddaughter of Abraham, and has inherited his blessings. After preaching this story for my first sermon, December 30, 2001, the Lord then commanded me to go and get His "Dinah(s)"-women who feel forgotten and abused. I was commanded to bring them to safety. D - Delivered; I - Inspired; N Noble; A - Accountable and H - Holy. Dinah, you are chosen, not forgotten.

God has a message to all of those who feel like Dinah, and to all of those who are dealing with issues of anger and forgiveness. That message is that there is nothing too hard for God. God wants to heal and deliver you today.

To every person who feels forgotten, lost, abandoned, abused ,and rejected, this ministry is for you.

Deniece Senter’s Story Prophetess Deniece E. Senter is Founder of Dinah International Ministries and DSM Global Missions and Ministry.

Deniece was sexually, physically and emotionally abused and she was abandoned by her mother at the age of 5. Deniece helped raise her two brothers and sister. She has survived a terrible car accident. Deniece has endured many trials and tribulations, which has made her strong and equipped for the Ministry. Realizing that, God has worked all of her trials, tribulations, rejections, hurts and pains out for her good.

The powerful anointing on Dinah’s life saves cities, and restores nations. She is the daughter of Jacob once raped, battered, scandalized, called out of her name and abused. She is the only sister of 12 brothers who love her dearly and will do whatever it takes to fight for her. She is the great-granddaughter of Abraham and has inherited his blessings; she’s able to claim houses she did not build, and possess land and claim territory that rightfully belongs to her. Our motto is “Reaching the Dinah’s of the World.” It would be an honor to have you join Prophetess Deniece and her team in saving lives and restoring nations (Gen. 34th Chapter).

Through This Ministry God has revealed His undying love and compassion for someone who feels like Dinah. This ministry is especially designed for men and women who have a hard time forgiving because trials, tribulations and circumstances have made them bitter and angry. Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi committed a great sin fighting for their sister but God forgave them, and their names are written in the book of life as one of the 12 tribes of Israel. There is hope! God wants to D-deliver, I-inspire, and make you into N-noble, Aaccountable and H-holy men and women of God and snatch back all that was stolen from you. The devil can only take what is handed to him. You have the power to retrieve and snatch back your life and your belongings!

How To Study the Bible The Bible is the greatest book ever written. In it God Himself speaks to us. It is a book of divine instruction. It offers comfort in sorrow, guidance in perplexity, advice for our problems, rebuke for our sins, and daily inspiration for our every need.

The Bible is not simply one book. It is an entire library of books covering the whole range on literature. It includes history, poetry, drama, biography, prophecy, philosophy, science, and inspirational reading. All or part of the Bible has been translated into more than 1,200 languages, and every year more copies of the Bible are sold than any other single book.

The Bible alone truly answers the greatest questions that men of all ages have asked: "Were have I come from?" "Where am I going?" "Why am I here?" "How can I know the truth?" For the Bible reveals the truth about God, explains the origin of man, points out the only way to salvation and eternal life, and explains the age-old problem of sin and suffering.

The great theme of the Bible is the Lord Jesus Christ and His work of redemption for mankind. The person and work of Jesus Christ are promised, prophesied, and pictured in the types and symbols of the Old Testament. In all of His truth and beauty, the Lord Jesus Christ is revealed in the Gospels; and the full meanings of His life, His death, and His resurrection are explained in the Epistles. His glorious coming again to earth in the future is unmistakably foretold in the Book of Revelation. The great purpose of the written Word of God, the Bible, is to reveal the living Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ (read John 1:1-18).

Here are seven great things that the study of the Bible will do for us: The Bible discovers sin.

The Bible helps cleanse us from the pollutions of sin.

The Bible imparts strength.

The Bible instructs us in what we are to do.

The Bible provides us with a sword for victory over sin.

The Bible makes our lives fruitful.

The Bible gives us power to pray.

For your devotional reading and study of the Bible, here are several important, practical suggestions: Begin your Bible reading with prayer (Psalm 119:18; John 16:13-15.)

Take brief notes on what you read. Keep a small notebook for your Bible study.

6

How To Study Continued Read slowly through one chapter or perhaps two or three chapters or perhaps just on paragraph at a time.

After reading, ask yourself what this passage means.

Then reread it. It is often very helpful in finding out the true meaning of a chapter or passage to ask yourself the following questions, and then write the answers in your notebook: What is the main subject of this passage?

Who are the persons revealed in this passage: Who is speaking?

About whom is he speaking?

Who is acting?

What is the key verse of this passage?

What does this passage teach me about the Lord Jesus Christ?

Does this passage portray any sin for me to confess and forsake?

Does this passage contain any command for me to obey?

Is there any promise for me to claim?

Is there any instruction for me to follow?

Not all of these questions may be answered in every passage.

Keep a spiritual diary. Either in your Bible study notebook mentioned or in a separate notebook entitled, "My Spiritual Diary," write down daily what God says to you through the Bible. Write down the sins that you confess or the commands you should obey.

Memorize favorite passages of the Word of God. No one is ever too old to memorize the Word of God. Write verses on cards with the reference on one side and the verse on the other. Carry these cards with you and review them while you're waiting for a train, standing in lunch line or in your spare time.

Meditate on the Word of God. To meditate means "to reflect, to ponder, to consider, to dwell in thought." Through meditation the Word of God will become meaningful and real to you, and the Holy Spirit will use this time to apply the Word of God to your own life and problems.

How to Overcome Fear Fear is a trick of the enemy that causes doubt which can lead to weakness because you have no control.

Fear leads to a lot of failures that can stop the flow of God and the anointing. These are the things of the devil that can lead you to depression, destruction and even death. The Holy Spirit is the One who gives us spiritual gifts and empowers us to use them. God's spirit does not impart fear or cowardice, but power, love, and a sound mind (meaning self-control). The Spirit imparts power for the various circumstances of ministry. The love the Spirit gives to us should be directed toward other individuals. Furthermore, as we use our spiritual gifts to build up the Church, we should exercise self-control using our abilities only at the appropriate times. If you see a brother fall and make a mistake, don't be quick to judge or condemn them. Instead, use tact and love at the appropriate time, making sure you're not embarrassing them.

Remember you have faults and fears to. Our goal is to help pull somebody out of darkness and into the marvelous light and while you're pulling them out, you get to come out of bondage also.

Romans 8:15 says, "For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba Father;' we as Christians have been adopted into God's family receiving an eternal inheritance. So you have power and love working together using self-control to cast out fear. I John 4: 18 says, "There is no fear in love but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear involves torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." In other words, you cannot fear what you love. Hallelujah! The purpose of Paul's command to Timothy is the promotion of God's love in the church. Gossip, speculation, and criticism should not come from the lips of believers. Putting your mouth on another believer can set you back and cause you to miss the mark. Every seed you plant will bloom, including negative seeds and they will come back to haunt you. In other words, what goes around comes around. Negative seeds are like weeds growing in a garden with one purpose - to destroy the roses. But when the gardener finds the weeds, they are destroyed.

This information is vital to your health and recovery. Gossip is like cancer. It's rotten to the bone and is hard to get rid of. Once you start, it's hard to stop. If you exercise love toward your neighbor instead of gossiping about them, why not pray for them and do whatever it takes to help them? Leviticus 19:18 says, "You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord." Vengeance belongs to God partly because human vengeance often is carried out too zealously.

God's vengeance is entirely just. Bear any grudge means actively keeping a grudge alive with an eye toward vengeance. Matthew 22:37-40 says, "Jesus said to him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Of these two commandments, hang all the Law and the Prophets."

The heart, soul, and mind represent the whole person. This command from Leviticus 19:18 is not imperative to loving one's self. People naturally love themselves and are at least somewhat self-centered. Because we love ourselves, we want the best for ourselves. Likewise, we should be concerned for the welfare of others.

How To Get Organized And Stay Organized It took so long to organize your room and each closet, but it only takes a few days for you to return to your old bad habits. Rushing out the door, you toss something into the drawer, vowing to put it in its proper place later. The kids come home from school and toss their clothes in the closet and on the floor instead of hanging them up. Slowly but surely, the books are no longer organized, or even not put away. Learning how to stay organized is one thing, but remaining organized is a completely different matter. If you want to know how to stay on top of the organized lifestyle you've laid out for yourself, see Step 1 to get started.

Put everything away as soon as you can. This is one of the easiest ways to stay organized. Sure, it's great that you organized your home, your office space, or anything else in your life that needed to be put in its place, but that won't mean much if every time you come home, you throw your keys, the mail, umbrella, or other countless items wherever you feel like it because you're tired and you'll get to it later. Making a conscious effort to do this as much as you can will make a huge difference in how organized everything will look -- and how much better you'll feel. Of course, it may not be realistic to expect you to put everything in its place the second you get to work or the moment you walk in the door.

It can help a lot to have a "sorting bin" near the entrance of your front door so you can toss the items into the bin, knowing that you'll have to organize them as soon as possible. However, you can't let this bin pile up: you should make a goal of keeping it as empty as possible and going through it every 12 or 24 hours.

A lot of the trouble with this is mental. You may think that you don't possibly have the energy to sort through your mail or your school backpack, but if you just say, "I'm going to spend five quick minutes organizing this stuff," you'll see that the task is manageable. And the longer you let things pile up, the less manageable everything will feel.

Featured Story

Make your bed when you wake up. This may sound like a small point, but if you make an effort to put this into your routine, you'll be much more able to stay organized. An unmade bed is a sign of a disordered life, and the sooner you make the bed, the better you'll feel about facing your day. Seeing a neatly-made bed before you start your daily tasks can make you feel like your life is in order and that you're capable of facing the day. If your bed isn't made, it's much more likely that the rest of your bedroom will look chaotic, and that you won't be able to stay as organized as you'd like.

If you leave your bed unmade, that's like giving yourself an invitation to leave your clothes piled on the floor, your makeup spilled all over your dresser, and letting old papers you don't need pile up on your desk. If your bed is made, it's a signal that you'll make sure that the rest of the room is up to par with the bed in terms of organization.

Make a to-do list for the day. You should make a goal of creating a to-do list toward the beginning of every day. This will set your priorities for you, keep you focused, and will make you feel accomplished for doing the things you set out to do. However, different forms of list making work for different people, so you shouldn't feel compelled to do exactly what wikiHow or other websites tell you to do; find a list-making method that works for you and stick to it. Here are some things to keep in mind as you make your lists: Consider making a weekly to-do list. Then, break up the things you need to get done each day so that all of the stuff you have to do feels less overwhelming. You'll feel a lot better about getting through that long list if you decide that you only have to get three things done on Monday.

Make a "top 3" list for the day. These are the things you really have to get done to feel better and to move forward.

Don't do something easier and more fun, like returning a friend's phone call, when there are more pressing things to attend to, like paying those electric bills.

Don't feel compelled to write down every little thing you have to do. This can actually lead you to feel a bit more overwhelmed. If you have some of the easier tasks firmly planted in your head and go about doing them, you'll feel better about checking them off your list. Avoid making an incredibly long list. Though your list can include some "reach" items that you'd like to do this week but can do the following week without the world ending, you should stick to the things you actually have time to accomplish. If you write down 40 tasks, then you'll just feel bogged down and overwhelmed and won't know where to start.

When you make your daily or weekly list, you can separate the items in terms of urgency. You can label them, "Things I have to get done today," "Things that need to get done this week" or "Things I have to do by the end of the month."

This will help you put things in perspective and will help you prioritize your tasks.

How To Get Organized And Stay Organized Continued Keep your planner up-to-date. Maybe you had an awesome planner when you first decided to get organized, but now you barely glance at it. Well, you need to get back into the habit of filling out your calendar on a weekly basis and of knowing what you have to do when. Having everything written down can help you plan future events and will give you a sense of what the week ahead has in store for you. You may not realize that you're going to have a busy week and that you'll need to budget your time accordingly until you notice that you've written "dentist appointment," "work project due" and "baby shower" down for the same week. Make a habit of checking your planner every morning, updating it as needed, and even crossing off the things you had to do. If you like using your phone or computer better, there are countless apps that can also help you schedule your time and to stay organized. Some of them cost money but people swear that they're worth it. Some of the most common apps are RescueTime, CalenGoo, Freckle, Things, and Mindnode. See if one of them works for you. Doing this digitally, even if you just plug things in on your iPhone, has the added advantage of you using a feature that sends you a reminder when you have an important event coming up.

Remember that drawers are your friend. If you want to stay organized, then you should stick to using drawers, boxes, and other forms of organization to keep everything in your home together. You might have set them out for this purpose and then forgotten to use them, and it's important to make sure you stick to the organizational method you've set up for yourself. Devote 5 minutes a day to inspecting the cubbies, drawers, and boxes you've created and make sure that everything is where it should be. Consider having a little cubby or drawer to organize the things you keep on the table in front of the TV. This could be where you place your remote, stray pens, magazines, and anything else you occasionally use in that room. This can look better than just throwing lose odds and ends on the table.

Consider having a drawer on your bookshelf for loose items. You may not have the perfect place for extra CDs, odd-sized books, albums, or other loose items that don't quite fit on your shelves but don't belong anywhere better. Using one of these on your shelves can help everything stay organized. Use plastic trays under your kitchen and bathroom sinks. People tend to just throw plastic bags, cleaning supplies, detergent, and other household items under their kitchen sinks as well as a hodgepodge of beauty products and other paper products under the kitchen sink. Investing in just a few plastic drawers that can each be designated for certain items (such as a drawer for cleaning supplies or extra shower supplies) can help you feel more organized.

Featured Story

Devote 10-15 minutes a day to organization. This doesn't sound so bad, does it? Find a time to take a 10-15 minute "organization break" from whatever you're doing to go around your house or office to make sure everything is in order. Is your desk as orderly as it could be? Have you folded and put away your clean laundry? Did you empty the dishwasher? Did you tie up all those loose ends at work? Take a walk around the house as well as one last peek at your calendar to make sure that you're not neglecting anything. Making this an important part of your day can help you stay organized. If this really sounds painful, you can do it with the TV and radio on. It won't take much effort to organize your side table while you're watching TV, will it?

Though multi-tasking big tasks is not a good idea because it makes it hard for you to fully focus on one task, there are ways that you can cheat when you're trying to organize stuff around the house. While you're checking in with your mom on the phone, fold your laundry. When you're on hold with the credit card company, do those dishes. Find ways to make the best use of your time.

Keep a notepad handy. You can use a physical notepad or one on your phone or another electronic device if that's how you prefer to take notes. Having one nearby can help you write down anything that comes to mind -- such as the fact that you need to pick up paper towels, or a new way to organize a project for work -- so you don't completely forget the brilliant thought you just had. Make a habit of writing down any stray useful thoughts you are likely to forget and check in with that notepad often. Writing down your thoughts can also help you feel more in control of your daily tasks.

Keep a journal. No, keeping a journal won't help you organize the stuff under your kitchen sink, and it probably won't substitute for filing all of those pesky papers on your desk. But keeping a journal can help you stay organized in another big way -- by giving you time to slow down and to write down your thoughts. You may feel constantly overwhelmed or like you're spinning out of control, desperately trying to check off a few items from your to-do list, because you never pause to take a break. Writing can help you do that. Writing down your thoughts and feelings, even if they have nothing to do with how to organize your life better, can make you feel more in control of your life, and can help you slow down long enough to get centered.

Why Daniel Fasted Step 1: Be Specific Daniel was not vague in his objection to the Babylonian diet.

He defined the problem immediately.

The king’s food was against dietary laws.

Daniel and his friends had vowed against wine.

The king’s food had been offered up to idols/demons.

Step 2: Fast as a Spiritual Commitment The Daniel Fast involves a spiritual commitment to God. “Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself” (Daniel 1:8).

Step 3: Reflect Inner Desire by Outer Discipline Many people have an inner desire for better health, but they can’t discipline themselves to avoid junk food, and other foods that are not good for their health. The physical health you seek from God may be more than an answer to prayer. Your physical health can be linked to any of the following factors: Your food choices.

The level of your spiritual commitment as reflected in constant prayer during the fast.

Your time commitment. If you determine to fast for a certain time, keep it. For example, if you determine to fast 10 days, don’t stop on Day 9.

Your testimony commitment. Your fast is a statement of faith to God that you want Him to heal your body, and faith is foundational to the Daniel Fast.

Step 4: Pray to Perceive Sin’s Role in Poor Health Notice James 5:13-16 Sin is something related to the cause of sickness.

Lack of health/healing may be the result of spiritual rebellion.

Lack of health/healing may be due to sin of wrong intake, i.e. drugs, pornography.

Repentance is linked to health according to James.

Elders have a role in healing both spiritual and physical health.

Sick people must desire to be well The anointing oil could mean Medicine for healing, Symbolic of the Holy Spirit, or Prayer alone may not gain healing, faith is the major factor.

In Greek there are several words for “sick”. James uses “Kanino”, which not only includes disease, but also means weak or weary. Attitude is important. James said, “are there any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.”

Step 5: Fast as a Statement of Faith to Others Daniel was making a statement of faith when he asked for only vegetables to eat and water to drink, then dared the overseer to compare the appearance of the four sons of Israel with the young men who ate the king’s food.

Step 6: Learn the Effects of the Food You Eat Why are some foods good for us, and other foods not? What does certain food do to your body? If we really knew, there would likely be some things we would never eat again.

Step 7: Yield All Results to God Daniel said, “as you see fit, deal with your servants” (Dan. 1:13).

Daniel 1:12 “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.”

Daniel 10:3 KJV“I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.”

Your fast should be one of faith and commitment to God. "After the king examined Daniel and his friends, he found them to be ten times stronger and better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus."

(Dan. 1: 20, 21).

Deniece’s New Love As we go through life’s difficult challenges sometimes it feels like we’re walking our paths alone.

After my divorce, I thought my ministry was over, but God reminded me that He was my source and sole provider. He protected me from all doubters and people who had nothing but negative things to say. After two years of sabbatical, healing, and finding my new found strength in the Lord, I found my Prince, Captain Carvin Brown. Carvin’s approach was like non other. He boldly stood in the middle of my workplace and said, “God said you are my next bride.” I laughingly said “ I don’t know about that.” But, as the next few days went by, he was determined to get my attention. I am thankful that his endeavors not only got my attention, but won my heart.

God knew that this time it would take a soldier who loved God and had the willingness to serve our country to love me and care about the same things I did.

I shared my love story with you to let you know that God does not require you to be in an unhealthy situation, nor does He ask you to remain miserable, after you have exhausted all of your strength. There is life after divorce.

There is healing after a broken heart.

And, most importantly, your faith in God will bring all your heart’s desires into fruition. Just trust Him.

Carvin & Deniece
