Sometimes It Just Needs to be Said! Every Friday night my team and I go over to our good friends’ house. We call it our Friday night date. They’re actually an elderly couple who are just a lot of fun.
They remind me of what the Bible meant when it says the gift of
hospitality. That’s something you don’t see much nowadays. When I was growing up it was the thing to do, to invite people over. Offer them a piece of pie and some coffee or cook some food. You sit and talk and laugh about life. Well I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with those friends about Halloween. They are Christians just like us but one of them said they didn’t see anything wrong with celebrating Halloween and dressing up. I find a lot of people back down from talking openly and honestly about that holiday. So I began to talk about how it doesn’t bring any glory to God and how Jesus wouldn’t want us to celebrate it. It is a holiday grounded in paganism. I began to explain the importance of us not involving ourselves in that day, that one day. If we want to give our kids candy or take them to a fun party, we can do that any other day of the year, but why insult our Creator by dressing up as things that originate and reside in the kingdom of darkness? Sometimes these things need to be said. We have to sometimes stand up and lovingly explain the truth, not in a way that will create an argument. But just in a way that will help people understand. Christians do not engage in Halloween.
It is important that we

How I Beat CANCER C A N C E R - Those cold letters do not reign supreme. So many people are afraid of hearing the words “You have cancer”, that they won’t even go to the doctor. There are others who go to the doctor and are caught completely off guard when they receive a diagnosis of cancer. I originally wrote my book How I Beat Cancer because my secretary asked me to write a small pamphlet that she could give to people when she visited cancer clinics. And so I agreed. What started out as a small pamphlet containing words of encouragement and some “how-to” tips to survive cancer, turned into a 46 page book about my personal life and experience with cancer. I am sharing How I Beat Cancer with the world because I want mothers, fathers, grandmothers and even doctors to know that there is a cure for cancer. It’s just that science doesn’t hold the answer. The one who has the awesome cure is God. Scientists are not completely sure what causes cancer. They conduct vigorous research and have increased understanding about the behavior of cancer cells, but a cure is not yet here. I am not a physician and I don’t pretend to tell physicians or scientists what to do. What I do know is God. I know that God speaks the ultimate truth. And once you know that, you realize that you don’t have to know exactly how things go wrong in the body, because God will show you how to be healed, how to be cured of cancer. God cured me of cancer. And I am still so humbled by it. I have so much gratitude to God because a cousin of mine, who was my age, was diagnosed with colon cancer at the same time I was diagnosed. She died and I didn’t. It takes me places you could never understand when I think about how God chose me. How I Beat Cancer is my personal life story and testimony about my battle with cancer with God by my side. The book tells you how to fight cancer with God. I am not knocking chemotherapy or any other modern day treatments. It was not my choice because I believe chemotherapy kills the good with the bad. God was my choice and I am all the more better for it. So when you are undergoing the medical interventions you choose, take this book along and use the spiritual medication that you find within its pages. You will receive the kind of life-saving results you deserve.

EAVEN’S
Insurance Now that we are moving out of October and into November, we are talking about the preparations for Thanksgiving. What we’re going to eat and who’s coming over. But also, starting this weekend, there’s going to be another hot topic in the homes of most Americans. It reminds me of a TV talk show. Healthcare aka Obamacare is now high on the agenda. There’s so much controversy around healthcare reform and displeasure from people who are forced to be involved in it. I must say when this was first discussed, I envisioned something else. I thought it would be like Canada where healthcare is free for everyone. It works for Canada so I feel it can work for us. I know there are many Republicans who don’t think that way but there are probably many who do secretly.

H So this weekend many of us will start to apply for the package we want. I am sure no one wants to pay top dollar for insurance especially given what the companies offer today like high co-pays and lack of coverage for so many necessary procedures. And then there is having to put out more money for prescriptions than ever before. Most people I know are truly not happy with healthcare reform not to mention the fine you pay if you don’t participate and get a health insurance policy. That $650 is nothing to laugh at. Do I believe everyone needs insurance? Yes, I do. I just think it needs to be revised. God made doctors in the first place. They play a part in the life of every human being. So they are necessary because there will be times we need to go to the hospital or doctor because we are just not well. I have been very thankful here over the last 10 years that I have not had to visit the hospital as much as I did when I was a child. I was a sickly child with chronic asthma and eczema. I was in and out of the hospital with asthma attacks all the time. But when I got saved and started trusting God for my day-by-day needs, or my daily bread, I was happy to find in His word that He is the Great Physician. In fact, that is one of the names He gave Himself. In Exodus He said “I am the Lord that heals thee.” (Exodus 15:26). He told the Israelites that He would put none of the diseases on them that He put on the Egyptians (Exodus 15:26). There are numerous stories in the Bible where God heals people. And He is still in the healing business today. He wouldn’t tell you He is the Great Physician if He were not qualified to diagnose and heal people. There have been many days and nights that I have gotten sick with an unknown condition and I prayed and talked to God about it. I asked God from my heart to heal me based on the fact that He said, “by His stripes you were healed.” (Isaiah 53:5). “Were” means past tense, meaning when Jesus died, He bore all of our sicknesses and our infirmities. So the price for my sickness was already paid, taken from me on the cross thousands of years ago. So like a good attorney would do, I invoked that scripture over my set of circumstances and He told me He would heal me. The moment He said, “I will.” All I had to do was laugh with joy and expectation because I knew emphatically that God made a promise to heal me. And all I had to wait for was the manifestation in my physical body. So whatever symptoms I had to endure at that time would soon disappear and the condition would clear up because the Father, the Great Physician had diagnosed and healed it. Most times it was not a pill or anything but just waiting on God to move whatever it was. Most times God would have me rest so my physical body could catch up with what God had done in the spirit.

HAT’S heavenly insurance and I would rather have that than Obamacare.
December 2014 - January 2015//Special Issue
It doesn’t cost me a monthly premium. And it doesn’t fine me when I don’t get a policy. When I pay my taxes I won’t get a fine. But I trust that when I get any kind of malaise God, when I present it to Him in total trust, He has the power to take care of the sickness whether it is a common cold, migraines, lupus or cancer. I have to trust Him. One of God’s greatest desires it that we trust Him. After all, He is in love with you and any one in love wants you to trust them and their capabilities.
You must just promise to thank Him for your divine healing and the heaven’s insurance He has given you. Then you have to tell everyone that will listen what God has done for you. Write it on your blog; tell your friends, family, coworkers and enemies. Make His Name known, lift it up high and continue to rely on Him for whatever is afflicting you. Physical or emotional. Stress is one of the biggest killers in our society today. Ask Him to remove it. I prefer heaven’s insurance. Again, I am not saying don’t subscribe to health insurance. There may be a need to go to the doctor even if just for a routine exam. Which I would actually recommend. Your annual check-up is important as well as the other exams that are recommended like mammograms. If you go to the doctor and find out there is something wrong, take it to God first in prayer. I had a doctor once tell me I needed surgery for a 13 cm chocolate cyst in my reproductive system. She tried to schedule surgery but I told her I was a praying woman and needed to pray to God about it first. She said she’d give me some time and call me back. Now when I talked to God He told me not to get the surgery. He said He would take care of it. That was so comforting to me to hear that. So the next time she called me I told her I would not be having the surgery because God told me He would heal it. Of course in disbelief she tried to insist on the surgery because that cyst would
To get medical proof I went two years later and they looked with a sonogram only to see that the cyst had completely disappeared because God keeps His word. Get heaven’s insurance. You may get Obamacare but make sure you get heaven’s insurance which is the promises that God put in His Word. Research it in the Bible and consult God before you make any major moves medically or otherwise. Be it surgeries, medicine or whatever. It is so important to consult with Him. God bless you!

Am I saying don’t get health insurance? Certainly not. That is your choice. And in all honestly it is the law. But there is another important point to consider when trying to choose your insurance. Doctors are human and make mistakes, that is why there is medical malpractice insurance. However when you go to God and ask Him to heal you and He tells you He will, you can take that to the bank. It is done and there will be no mistake because He made you, He has your blueprints so He knows right where He needs to touch you. He won’t miss, He won’t give you the wrong medicine and you won’t have any side effects from His healing touch.

beginning When I was young, I used to fantasize about running away and starting a new life with a new identity. I saw it on a soap opera once and I just would spend hours imagining my new life. How I would look and what kind of job I would have. I felt so displaced in my reality that I always wanted to start over fresh somewhere else. Of course these were the dreams of a young girl who watched soap operas and read way too many Harlequin romance novels. When I got older, I realized there was no way to change your identity and start a new life unless you were a criminal of some sort. The struggle for me escalated to not even wanting to live any life, not even a new one. I know the magazines and reality shows hint at re-inventing yourself and creating the life you want but at what cost? Reality TV “stars” deal with major issues all in front of the camera. And if you follow the blogs and magazines, you spend a fortune trying to change things about yourself that you really don’t need to. My wish actually came true one day. I got a new life and a new identity. And it didn’t cost me a lot of money. But I did have to give up some things. But they were things that were bad for me in the first place. It may sound cliché but it is not. When you start to live your life for God, He transforms you. How you dress, how you feel, what you eat. If you really surrender your life to Him you will find yourself living in places and doing things you never thought possible. I did. I was transformed from a shy, depressed girl into an assertive woman for God.

God knows how to get that person, the real you, out. He knows how to separate us from our past but not from the compassion and patience that those past experiences gave us. In 1 Kings 19:9-21, we read about the call of Elisha. Elijah comes and throws his mantle upon Elisha as a sign that Elisha has been called to go with him. Elisha proceeds to burn the plough and the oxen he had been using and making a last meal to share with his family and friends. Now Elijah didn’t tell Elisha to do this. He only told Elisha to think about what had just happened. Think about the true meaning of what I did when I placed my mantle on you. Elisha’s response was excellent. He burned the plough because he made a decision that his life had changed forever. Now that God had revealed his divine purpose, to follow Elijah, Elisha got a revelation that that old job in the field was done. He burned the plough and oxen because he decided he was never going to return to that place and do that job again. So many of us come to Christ and after the excitement wears off, we start feeling bored and complaining but if we are honest and look at our lives we will see that we didn’t burn the plough and have a goodbye meal. We are still trying to hold on to the things that we do not need be it jobs, people or places.
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you become a new creature in Christ.
I have gone places and done things I never would have thought I could let alone even tried to pursue. I discovered gifts and talents I never knew I had. All because I submitted to God and agreed with His plan for my life.
Let go of what you used to be and all the trappings of that old life. Burn the plough and decide you will never go back to that old place, that old life, that old mindset.
I know I am not alone. So many of you out there want a new life for yourself. Perhaps things happened to you in your past that you wish you could break free from. Maybe you feel there is this whole other person inside you that you wish could come out.
Embrace your new identity in Christ! With God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). You can do anything through Christ Jesus who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13). Be courageous and embrace the new, true you. 7 I Red Wine

For the most part, we all have fun getting together on Thanksgiving and throughout the holidays. But if we were honest, we all have that family member, “friend” or coworker that really gets under our skin. More accurately, we have that relative we can tolerate for about 60 minutes before some old offence or new criticism starts an argument or at minimum creates tension in the room.
criticism you get, give a compliment. In life, we have to choose our battles. We can’t jump at every insult, criticism or perceived violation. The Bible tells us not to take the offence (Matthew 11:6). And that anger rests in the bosom of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:9). Meaning to hold on the anger is foolish.
humble But the truth is that it is really hard to be thankful when you can’t forgive. In fact, the inability to forgive may be a huge indicator that you also have an issue being really, truly thankful. Spend enough time around someone who is unforgiving, and you will find they rarely say thank you for anything. They actually find fault faster than giving thanks. I know eating humble pie is thought of as having to apologize in humiliation but I’d like to redefine that for this holiday season and say that we should all happily eat some humble pie when it comes to those around us for the holidays. Instead of fighting the same fight at the dinner table again this year, concede to the other person even if they are wrong. Make a conscious effort not to let anyone get under your skin. For every
Pie
But nowhere do we act more foolish than at holiday family gatherings. Sometimes we have to show people how we want to be treated by treating them properly. People have struggles and problems of their own that don’t disappear because there is a turkey on the table and presents under the tree. Often those of us in Christ have to be the example people need. So we must forgive first, speak first and love first. We are after all, the light of this dark world. So cut yourself a big piece of humble pie this holiday and don’t expect anyone to join you. Just be content that you have decided to forgive and move on from the past. And focus on making new memories instead of new grudges. You will feel good the next day and the food will probably even taste better! Erica Johnson 9 I Red Wine
A Letter to the
LGBT Community,
I do not believe that one is born gay or born the wrong gender. But I also do not believe that a person who lives a homosexual lifestyle or a transgender lifestyle should be harassed or violated in anyway simply because of their lifestyle.
I also do not believe that I should be harassed or violated because of my beliefs about sexuality and gender. My life and my beliefs are no less valuable than those in the LGBT community. I cannot identify with the specific pain that comes with feeling sexual desires completely different from what an entire society says is right. I do not know the unique suffering that comes when your mind and your body don’t agree on your own gender. 10 I Red Wine
But I am human and in that capacity I know pain and suffering. It is a fact of humanity. People make jokes about being a thin person trapped inside a fat person’s body but there is real pain associated with feeling that way. Generations have experienced true suffering through being dehumanized by society simply because of the color of their skin. I cannot diminish your hurts and pains and your sense of rejection. I concede that they are valid and real. But we have all experienced hurt, pain and rejection for various reasons. I will not tell you to just get over it because everyone has an “it’ that they can’t easily get over. If anyone tells you that God does not or cannot love you because you are homosexual or transgender, please do not believe them. This is simply not true. God loves us all no matter our sin or weakness. In fact, it is the sin itself that displeases Him. Lying and adultery are no less sinful than homosexuality. There are no degrees to sin in God’s eyes, just in human eyes.
I believe in God,
in His Son Jesus Christ and the Bible. But I sin and I have to ask God daily to help me
make better choices and I have to seek forgiveness for my sins. I do not think I am better than you or somehow more evolved. In fact, I am weaker than you because I am totally dependent on God. I am so convinced that my way of thinking is flawed based on how much pain and suffering I went through before making Jesus Lord of my life that I seek God’s guidance and work at pleasing Him even though I know I will fail at some things sometimes. It is because I am so dependent on Him and so in love with Him, God, that I cannot support gay marriage or transgender transitions. I know the struggle emotionally and physically is real for you, but I cannot and will not say that God made a mistake because He simply did not make a
mistake when He made you. I know there are people in the world who say that God doesn’t love you if you struggle with your sexuality or gender but again that is not true. I am a Christian and I can tell you with confidence that God does love you. I am not homophobic or transphobic but instead I fear God with a reverential fear. And because God loves you, anyone who really has His heart can show you His love. We cannot support your cause but we can love you in Christ Jesus. There is a difference. My plea to you today is to look past the hate and see the love of God. I ask that you understand we must stand for what we believe just as you feel you have to but in doing that we do not have to demean and abuse each other. There has been so much mudslinging in the media and boycotts and protests. But if you begin to shut down any group that does not believe in your cause you are in essence doing to that group what you fought so hard to stop happening to you. As Christians, the Lord Himself commissioned us to go out and preach the gospel of truth. We cannot back down from telling the truth which is that homosexuality is a sin just like fornication, lying, gluttony and other things. It doesn’t matter that the whole world is doing it, we must still tell the truth but do so in love. So please consider that for many it is our commitment to God that dictates our beliefs and not some prejudice or fear of human opinion. Look past our humanity and seek the truth. When all else fails, just look for the truth. Ask God to reveal to you the truth and be willing to receive the truth even when it may reveal you have been living a lie. My prayer for you today is that you seek and find the truth in God. Erica Johnson

O S E OME N to Talk To

13 I Red Wine
We are getting to that part of the year when the holidays are rapidly approaching. Not only are we thinking about food, presents and family visits, but in our alone time we start to think about things we don’t always talk to people about. We start canvasing the whole year that’s just passed before us. We think about the blessings, the trials we have come through, sometimes just barely making it through. We think about our friends and family. This holiday season from now through the New Year causes some of us to get very sentimental and start thinking about people we have lost. For me, I am thinking about a very close friend who is still close to my heart though he is now with the Lord. Just a couple of years ago he passed away and is no longer here for me to call and talk to. He was very wise in the things of God, not just worldly wisdom. I talked to him about every aspect of my life, very personal information, and he always had a word from God or a story of a similar situation to share that would help me compartmentalize what I was thinking and going through at the time. Now that he is gone, I really see clearly that I had a gem. Somebody who is not like most people in the world. He was a prophet with a close walk with God. And we were really close friends though we lived in two different states and didn’t get to see each other often. That didn’t separate us or take away the closeness we felt on a daily basis. I loved him and he loved me and we took opportunities to say that to each other. It was not romantic but a friendship. Our hearts were similar because we both had a close walk with God. We relied on God to tell us what to do on a daily basis. So I miss having him and someone like him. His friendship and connection to me was more to me than that of 20 other people put together. And I say that because of his relationship with God and his good heart. It takes something to walk that close to God. If you want to hear clearly from God and be used by God to help others in ways the average Joe can’t, you have to give up a lot of the world’s toys. You can’t be hanging in the bar, fornicating, committing adultery, lying, cheating and all the things that most human beings do and say they don’t. I miss having someone to talk to because a therapist could not have helped me as well as he did. At best I could have gotten a well-seasoned pastor. My regular friends, I love them, but I needed my friend Prophet Joseph Brown. And the wisdom he was able to give me on any matter, point on! And I did the same for him in so many areas.
14 I Red Wine
I want to say to you that if you have someone in your life who you can talk to and they give you valuable information and wisdom to help you be a success in life and feel better, lift the burden off your shoulders; please
value them
because you have something money cannot buy. Let them know often through words and deeds how important they are to you. Because that kind of friendship may only come once in a
lifetime.
I am praying God will send me someone else. You should too! And it won’t always be your family and friends because they are actually too familiar with you. Just ask God to send a person into your life who can be a friend, maybe even a mentor to help catapult you into your next level and be the success you should be. God bless you! Dr. Diana
With November being just a few days away, many of us are starting to think about Thanksgiving which is rapidly approaching. Although we may not be writing down our plans, we are starting to think about what we are doing that day. Who’s coming to town, are we going home? Are we eating turkey? That holiday is just a wonderful holiday. How nice it is to know you will have an abundance of food, friends and family all around just shooting the breeze. Laughing and talking about the good ol’ days. All of that is wonderful. It doesn’t matter how much struggle we went through all year, we seem to get into a jovial mood and start looking forward to seeing people we don’t see all year round.

The
SWEETEST G A T H E R I N G If you are a Mom like me whose kids live in another state, you start to think about your children coming to be there with you on Thanksgiving Day. Many of us are already thinking about where we will get the turkey from, farm or frozen?
But while you are thinking about that day, I want to softly suggest to you something I haven’t heard many people say for that holiday. This Thanksgiving, instead of focusing on the turkey, focus on God. Put God in the place of the turkey. I am not saying don’t buy a turkey or a ham or whatever you had planned. But make the day about God. Plan how you are going to thank God for all He has done for you throughout your whole life. Some of you have not thanked God at all. The Holiday is called Thanksgiving! The one we need to put above everything is God. It has been God and His beautiful friendship that has watched over us and cared for us throughout the whole year. Every day we wake-up because He wakes us up. He thinks about us on a daily basis showing His love and dedication by all the blessings He brings into our lives.
17 I Red Wine
We ought to be thanking Him on that day. We ought to get up with Him on our hearts. In everything we do, we should be talking to Him and making Him part of things so that He is the central focus. Not the turkey God, but you. The turkey is for our bellies but you are for our hearts. When we feed our heart it is with you. Some of you may feel why should I thank Him, my life has
If you start being thankful to God and showing gratitude for the time you have had on earth and the good in your life, He will start to reveal to you some of the things He would like for you to
That’s real thanksgiving.
The Bible says every good gift comes down from the Father of heavenly lights (James 1:17). When you are thinking about God this Thanksgiving, be sure to let all your friends, family and guests know to make this holiday about God. You don’t have to have a religious ceremony in your house or pull out the tambourines. I am just simply saying to think about God when you think about Thanksgiving. Consider all of the good things you have experienced in your life and where you are right now. Give God your thankfulness and gratitude that you are in your right mind.
been hard. That may be so but you can’t tell me you didn’t have times when good things appeared seemingly out of nowhere. If you feel you haven’t had any goodness in a longtime, start with giving thanks unto God and change the course of your life. Instead of the turkey, let God be the focus. Make it about God, thinking and talking to Him throughout this holiday season. Start now, don’t wait for Christmas. Invite Him into your house and tell Him why He is important to you. And if you don’t think you are important to God, there is a book called the Bible that tells you how extremely important you are to Him. There are things in this world that God would like you to be a part of, that is why you are here. You have a purpose. I am thankful that you are here, you are needed. If you feel unwanted, know that God wants you. And so do I! There is something you have to do, that’s why God wants you here.
18 I Red Wine
do. It is already settled. God knows those things; it is time for you to know those things. As you all gather around that table this Thanksgiving, let everybody know there is someone right there at that table that even though they can't see Him, He is there. Just like them, He was invited into your home. Let them know it is not about the turkey this year but it is about my Father and my faithful Friend. If you do this, it will be one of the sweetest gatherings you will ever have. Heaven will be celebrating just as you are on earth. And it will be with thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful, joyous Thanksgiving. And while you are talking to God, tell Him that Diana from Red Wine Magazine sends Him greetings. God bless you, your friends, family and even your enemies! Dr. Diana
From
to Power
There are seasons in your walk with God, especially in the beginning, where you get little, unexpected blessings and you often get lots of help, people God assigns to give you direction and guidance. And you actually find you lean on them quite a bit. You may find yourself living in what I call a place of provision. Your main duty is to focus on yourself and building your relationship with God. When God brought Israel out of Egypt and they had to wander in the desert, this was their place of provision (Exodus 14:21-26; Joshua 3:9-17). God provided light, protection, food, leadership and much more. The people had little to do but listen and obey. But God didn’t make us to live in a place of provision permanently; He made us to live in a place of power. When Israel got ready to cross the Red Sea out of slavery and into provision, Moses held up the staff and the waters lifted by the power of God.
But when Israel got ready to cross the Jordan, and move from provision to power, from the desert into the Promised Land, the priests had to step into to the waters so the soles of their feet touched the ground and then the waters lifted. It was still by the power of God the waters moved but this time God didn’t move until the people moved. The anointing that got you out of bondage is not always going to work to get you into your promise. Because when we are trying to get out of slavery or trying to get out of the world, God allows us to live in a place of provision. But when God says it is time for you to move out of provision and into power, there is no staff and there is no Moses. You have to step out into the thing that appears to be keeping you from your promise. God made provisions to get you out of bondage and sin but you are going to have to do some walking and talking to get into your promise.
19 I Red Wine
That was the purpose of the desert. The Israelites had to go through that desert experience in order to get rid of their garbage and gain the skills and the faith to know they could live outside of the place of provision and instead live in power. Don’t die in the wilderness because you refuse to let go of the place of provision. This is what Israel missed. Don’t get caught up looking at what used to make you happy, what used to make you feel safe or what used to be your provision and miss the anointing that is going to enter you into your promised land.
Anything God touches has to change and it doesn’t change a little. God is too big and powerful for just a little change. Pursue God so that your seasons can change and therefore your life can change at the core and not just slight cosmetic changes.
20 I Red Wine
God is calling us to move from provision to power. We have to pray different, do different, and think different. We were not made to live in a place of provision forever. If you are a Believer, I challenge you to tell God to move you from provision to power. But be ready to think and act differently. Be ready to spend more time praying and confessing God’s will over your life and then getting up and taking real steps towards His plan for your life. If you are not saved, then please make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. You will have a season of provision and seasons of power if you just submit to God’s plan for your life by making Jesus the Lord of your life. Take courage today!
