STEP OUT OF FEAR

THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR

YOU TO START LIVING!

My passion is to see Ladies particularly, be inspired, empowered and motivated to overcome the fear that has stopped them from operating in the gifts that God has given them to accomplish His assignment for them in the earth. My desire is to see them stir up the gifts that are within them and use their unique, God-given Talents, Abilities, Gifts and Skills (TAGS) to impact their world and experience divine fulfillment in their lives.

Ladies from across the UK, USA, Caribbean and Africa have contacted me to testify that just seeing or hearing about Step Out of Fear has resonated with them and then, on reading the book, have been moved to take action and either begin working towards their dreams, or resurrect dreams they once had that had been prematurely ended due to fear. God continues to open doors for me to speak to Ladies who have been paralysed by fear and need to be liberated.

Following the successful launch of my book Step Out of Fear in April 2023, God has blessed me to facilitate an interactive online workshop where attendees completed a questionnaire to help identify their gifts and distribute two free newsletters to those who subscribed on my website. The workshop resulted in requests for coaching sessions which have commenced.

More workshops, more newsletters and an in-person event are planned. God will do more in 2024!

GREETINGS TO THE AMAZING WOMEN OF THE SOHIM NETWORK! I AM HONORED TO BE IN THE NUMBER!

I CELEBRATE APOSTLE DR. CHANDA A. LONDON FOR HER COMMITMENT TO ALL THINGS KINGDOM!

The phrase, “Much PRAYER equals Much POWER”, and “Little PRAYER equals Little POWER” is a real thing.WhatshouldundergirdanyhealthyrelationshipwithGod,andalsoanythingthatweventuretodo inHisname,isafoundationofPRAYER.Wearelivinginatimewhengiftsarethemostcelebratedaspect of the body of Christ. We would do well to cling to the notion that true and daily connection to the Gift GiveristobetreasuredaboveHisgiftsthataregivenwithoutrepentance.

The truth is…His perfect gifts can somehow operate in very broken vessels. God will cause His people to benefit from the efforts of even subpar leadership. Therefore, it would behoove us all to ensure the quality and nature of our relationship to Him – that we as leaders yield ourselves to God’s healing and delivering power . . . for OURSELVES! What good is it to do all manner of exploits for God, and in the end find ourselves in the 1 Corinthians 9:27 state of preaching effectively to others, but ourselves becoming a castaway?

It was in the routine of daily connection to the Lover of my soul that 2InspireU Ministries and my online Prayer Fellowship was born. Some years ago, I had a long commute for work and would find myself, of course, often praying and communing with the Lord. One day He told me to ‘Go Live’ while I was talking to Him and driving. I was surprised, but obeyed. I would have the camera phone turned down on my lap andsimplyletpeoplelisteninonmytimeofcommutingprayerandfellowshiptime.

Little did I know that just months later we would experience a worldwide pandemic. God tasked me to go live every weekday. This practiced developed into The Gathering Place with Prophetess Lisa Mitchell, a popular online Prayer gathering of faithful attendees we call The Early Knockers. We gather at 5:30 a.m. PST on Facebook and YouTube for exhortation, teaching, fellowship, Prayer – just giving God the first fruit of our day. Some join lateraccessingtheweeklyrecordings.Manytestify to being blessed by our teaching series, prophetic releases,andtimesofPrayer.

In April 2024 we hosted our first in person event, A Prayer Breakfast Gathering in El Segundo, California.

We sought God, asked Him to take complete control, and He did just that! We fellowshipped first, and then put plates and visiting aside. That’s when God took over as Host.

The speaker could not preach for God wanted to address His children in His own way. He told me that those arriving that day were in need of refreshing, and He refreshed us liberally. I am excited to share a few pictures from that awesome first for our fellowship.

Kingdom Greetings

GREAT WOMEN OF THE KINGDOM!

I AM LADY APOSTLE DEBORAH OF GETHSEMANE PRAYER FORCE FAMILIES WORLDWIDE (formally WOMEN OF GETHSEMANE PRAYER FORCE INT) FOUNDED IN NOV 2003 IN ITALY.

By God’s Grace, The Lord is using me to transform, ordinary men and women into extra ordinary pillars in the kingdom. The Lord gave me a mandate to train and mentor men and women (especially women) to take their position in the kingdom and also learn the acts of prevailing prayers. Men and Women who could not stand to read the Bible or testify in front of people are now (most of them) Pastors, Evangelist, Ministers, and Missionaries. My assignment is to see people (especially women) rise up in Christ.

The Lord gave me the vision of Gethsemane prayer force five years before I step forward in faith to start in November 2003. Because of intimidation against Women in Ministry, being a Pastor’s daughter already was a threat to some leaders and members.

GETHSEMANE Prayer Hour - Italy

GETHSEMANE Warriors - Scotland

But our God is good, He has been faithful. Gethsemane Ministries will be 21 years this November 2024 because I finally obeyed the voice of God in 2003 and answered His Call up on my life.

I urge everyone to see himself or herself as special, a royal priesthood, and selected nation.

Since 2003, the Lord God has been increasing the ministry. Under GETHSEMANE PRAYER FORCE FAMILIES WORLDWIDE, we have:

GETHSEMANE Prayer Commandos - Ghana

GETHSEMANE Prayer Hour Worldwide (Consisting of Intercessors from 15 Nations)

GETHSEMANE Kids & Widows (Ministering to children and less privileged widows showing them compassion)

GETHSEMANE Family Kitchen (Free Food & Drink) to the needy

GETHSEMANE Inspirationals (Words of Comfort & Encouragement)

GETHSEMANE Morning Prayer Clinic

I THEREFORE ENCOURAGE ALL PEOPLE TO SEE THEMSELVES AS UNIQUE AND VALUABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. YOU ARE WONDERFULLY & FEARFULLY MADE

DR. MARTHENIA SATTERFIELD

CHARIS RHEMA GROUP

The Charis Rhema Group is led by Dr. Marthenia Satterfield, a certified pastoral mental health practitioner with more than thirty years of counseling experience. TCRG, The Charis Rhema Group, is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex serving clients throughout the United States. TCRG focuses on convergent modalities integrating two paths of client care – mental health and self-care.

The connection between mental health and self-care is essential for those within the faith community to achieve a balance in mind – body – and soul. Such practices within the Body of Christ are vital for maintaining and promoting mental well-being, impacting our ability to fully engage in prayer, worship, and service to others. Integrating these dual care systems teaches Kingdom-minded believers how to manage stress and anxiety, as well as understanding depression and the forms in which they may show up in their lives. Too often individuals struggling with how to manage their pain do so by holding their issues privately. Guilt is voiced as they confess that perhaps they don’t have enough faith. Is it faithlessness or is it pain? Are people bound by pride or the lack of support from a community trained in collaborative biblical responses and clinical understanding? This lack of clear understanding is why the mission of TCRG is to prioritize self-care within the mental health space and conversations, build resilience, and develop coping mechanisms to navigate life's challenges more effectively.

At The Charis Rhema Group, self-care is a cornerstone of our mental health maintenance approach, enabling individuals to thrive emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. In the mental health space of self-care, it is critical to take time for oneself. Dr. Satterfield states, “As a Pastoral Christian Counselor, I believe mental well-being is an intricately woven thread connecting the fabric of every Christian’s spiritual journey to their authentic self whether in peace or pain. This belief dictated my counseling approach to be experienced as an hour-long ‘Conversation,’ managed by the client to be client-led or therapist-led.” Conversations in the faith space are necessary to articulate mental health and self-care integration to church leadership, parishioners, the community, and the world to provide an understanding that therapy undergirds the work of ministry. This reality aligns with the biblical call to love one another as yourself. Just as Jesus ministered to the brokenhearted and oppressed, pastoral counseling offers support and encouragement to those struggling with the broad spectrum of mental health challenges from feeling blue

Developing a community is another vital layer to this modality. Not only does Dr. Satterfield provide one-to-one counseling, but in the fall of 2024 her counseling group plans to begin hosting seminars and workshops throughout the United States, virtually and in person, as the Lord allows. We invite you to become part of our community and join us for an upcoming mental health and self-care seminar or quarterly workshop facilitated by clinicians, practitioners, nurses, physicians, diagnosticians, and counselors.

DAYSLASTA LIFETIME

There once stood a house under a hill, in a small rural town and red dusty roads. Where trees cover like guardian angels. This was the house where the family lived. The father stands tall, handsome, and sweet as the day lilies out in the front yard. Mommy was short as a penguin, and always straight to the point, no matter how tall you stood.

The fence around the property was no white picked fence. It was chain linked, but it fulfilled its purpose Two-fifth of an acre wide and two thirds of an acre long was enough to run and play. As soon as you opened the door, there was a backyard. A fence divided the backyard from the garden.

Daddy had the family till the ground every two years, but on the third year, he would let the ground rest. The garden was filled with all types of vegetables. If the mind serves us right, all that we could not or did not grow in the garden, Mommy picked up from “Piggly Wiggly”

Life would birth again as the sun peaked through the curtains. Cocka-doodle-do was the alarm for Daddy He would get up and walk through the living room to the kitchen where his hot brewed coffee would be waiting for him on the table When Father got up for his coffee, baby girl got up for her coffee too. It’s Mother’s time to get ready for work now The crisp ironed white dress is on Then she puts on the white stockings that never had runs Mother puts on the tiny little white shoes and the matching hat. She gives everyone his or her instructions for the day. Lastly, off to the hospital she goes. It is 6:30 a.m. now.

Days Last a Life Time

The story is about a family with humble beginnings and although they weren’t rich, all their needs were met They went through trials and tribulations as we all do, yet persevered The Mother was born with a hole in her heart, who had 4 children The doctors advised against having another child, yet she gave birth once more to a beautiful baby girl

My Mother is an amazing woman who has been through so much yet her life’s work has been caring for others which I have inherited from her and my life’s journey has been days that last a lifetime I’ve experienced creativity being birth out of pain, and that pain brought joy!

How do you make it through? We must allow Jesus to be a fence around us each and everyday We must surrender our will to His will for our life He will open doors that no man can close.

God will allow you to dine at His table. I was in prayer and I heard Him clearly saying “Come and dine at my table” I share with my sisters, then I opened my Bible to ISAIAH 40:11, “He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. ”

I made it through the storms of life, not because I always made the right decisions. It was by His grace and mercy that sustained me. It was that unconditional love that our Father has for each and everyone of us The Lord is truly amazing! He will take what we have been through to bring us strength and become a blessing to others. The plan God has for us is individualized. We all are destined for greatness, so whatever you desire to achieve do it with all your heart I will leave you with this:

THE GLORY OF THIS LATTER HOUSE SHALL BE GREATER THAN of the FORMER, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS: AND IN THIS PLACE WILL I GIVE PEACE

TheLaunchofSingle MotherSinglePurpose

The launch of Single Mother Single Purpose, a faith based non-profit organization, was held on May 5, 2024. This momentous event was celebrated by a Pre-Mother’s Day Luncheon. At this event a crowd of 80 plus women, men and children gathered to celebrate Motherhood. A plethora of multi-cultural multi-generational women were celebrated at every level. I shared with the audience the Mission of Single Mother Single Purpose:

Designed to assist single mothers become self- sufficient by providing educational and financial resources to help them master motherhood. Our focal group are single mothers ages 18 - 25.

The burden I have for single mothers, led me to write a self-help book in 2016; Single Mothers with a Single Purpose. I kept searching for ways to make a difference for single mothers in my church and ommunity In 2023 I became a certified parent instructor thru the National Parent Instructor Association. This certification allows me to establish classes to all mothers especially those that have been ordered by the court system to receive parenting skills instruction.

My message to all Mothers especially Single Mothers:

-Know you were called to Parenthood. Know that it was in God’s plan for you to bear children according to Jeremiah 1:5 Regardless of the circumstances of your child’s conception, he or she was conceived in the mind of God before the foundation of the world.

-Know that you are in a position of power. What a privilege to know that what you put in your child or children will affect generations to follow. What a wonderful privilege at the same time a great responsibility to cultivate the seed of the future. You are literally nurturing the next President, or Vice President, Governor, Senator or CEO, the next Einstein or Beethoven. Only God know, BUT he has given you the honor of stewarding the next Be careful in handling the NEXT

-Know who you are, and what you want in life and out of the life God has given to you You must be an example of the hand of God God himself holds the key Proverbs 19:21

-Finally, First things first. Take care of Gods business and he will take care of your business. You providing proper care over your children is Gods business. You are responsible for their physical well-being, emotional wellbeing, social well-being, financial well-being and spiritual well-being.

The Bible says train up a child in the way he Should go: you are responsible to know for your children, to impart unto them the ways of life, right and wrong.

Thus, your Single purpose…

FUTURE EVENTS

Single Mother Single Purpose is presently partnering with local community organizations, churches and schools to provide parenting skill classes. Our scholarship application is also open and we are taking applications for our scholarship thru July 31,2024 in hopes to award our first scholarship in September 2024. The application can be found on our website: www.singlemothersinglepurpose.org

We can be contacted via email at: ntransmin@gmail.com

Our goal is to expand our classes to financial sustainability i.e. how to handle money and our scholarship to the children of single parents.

PURPOSE IN THE ASSIGNMENT

No matter what we face, or what goes on around us, I believe God assigns us to experience it and there is Purpose in the Assignment. What is purpose? Purpose is something set up as an object or end to be attained, resolution, determination. Purpose also means by intent: intentionally, (Webster’s Dictionary). What is assignment? Assignment means a specified task or amount of work assigned or undertaken as if assigned by authority.

That authority is God. God intentionally chose you to fulfill a specified task or amount of work assigned or undertaken. When certain situations happen to us, we as human beings sometimes ask, why me? Well, why not you? I wanted to ask that question, and believe I did several times when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. I released my new, Pink in the Autumn, May 26, 2024. The book is my journal of what I experienced during the COVID-19 Pandemic and receiving the devasting news of breast cancer. The book is available on Amazon. It is my journey through breast cancer.

It was not until I was halfway into receiving chemo-therapy when I realized there was Purpose in that Assignment. Most times I did not want to go in for treatment because of the way I felt afterwards. However, I walked into the facility for each treatment with a smile on my face. My smile made others smile and who knows, my smile may have made other patients feel a little bit better. There were some moments as I sat in the chair receiving my treatment, that I found myself praying for the others. Especially when the medical alarm would sound off on a patient. The very first time I heard the alarm and saw doctors and nurses running in from almost all sides of the room, I went into prayer for that individual. Purpose, you say. Yes, my Purpose in that Assignment.

When God gives us an assignment, we must accept it. When He calls us, we should answer. I know we do not always answer right away. At least I didn’t. But I discovered not answering or heeding to the call only delays the process of what God is doing. In my book Prophetic Beginnings: Time, Transition, and Trust, chapter 3 is titled Answering the Call.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

When the Lord God called me, He called me to the people. He called me to teach His nations the gospel of Jesus Christ, to open blinded eyes and deaf ears; and to be used to help set the captive free. When God called me, I did not respond right away. I ran from the call. It was in a dream (night vision) when God showed me what He had called me to do. God continued speaking to me in dreams and visions until I acknowledged my call, nearly four years later. God not only spoke and still speaks to me in dreams and visions, but He also speaks to me through His written Word and His still small voice.

There have been many times when I questioned God about my call; and He would always respond with His word. He said, “And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand,” (Isaiah 51:16). In my fear of acknowledging my call, God led me to Isaiah 42:6-9 with His assurance; “I the Lord have called thee…and will hold thine hand.” Before losing the battle of running from my call, God gave me Jeremiah 1:4-10; “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” And because He knew that I was still fearful He said, “Be not afraid of their faces,” (v.8). Even several years after that, He gave me a reminder using Jeremiah 6:27, “I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. ”

What is your call and assignment? Do not ignore God’s small nudges or soft whispers of a call. Because there is purpose in the assignment. One of my assignments is an annua Spring Tea that I host. Each year has brought new faces along with returning attendees. The Spring Teas are done through my non-profit CWE Ministries, Inc. When time and circumstances permit, I also host an annual Women’s Retreat in the Fall.

I, Cathy Emerson am a native of Columbus, Ohio. I am an ordained minister and have proclaimed the gospel in certain parts of the United States.
