Inspiring Letter from Pastor Harnage to Anonymous Client
Your story of 20 years reminds me of the Jew's oppression at the hands of the Egyptians when God sent Moses to them with a message. Exodus 3:7 "...I have seen the affliction of my people...and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters...for i know their sorrows and I am come down to deliver them out...and bring them up...unto a good land and a large...the cry of the children is come unto me...and I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them with. verses 7-10.
God has seen yours and your husband's sorrows. God has heard your cries. He has seen how you have been hard timed and oppressed by people who are jealous of you, your lives, your happiness, your stand, and your success. God has sent before you a wind to prepare a way for triumph for you and the kids. It is not for us to understand the why. It is for us to know that God is in control regardless of what it looks like.
By faith, you, your husband, and Carolyn ( my sife of 32 years) and i agree together on God's promises in Acts 16:31...and thou shalt be saved and thy house." When Satan has accosted us and our house, children, home, job, sickness, or otherwise I keep remembering the promises of God where He promised me my house.
I am ready for deliverance and victory for my house and your house and other's homes who are trusting God in the middle of the storm.
Again, let's agree on the Word which is the will of God that says...Peace, be still." (Jesus).
In Jesus' name we speak peace, be still to this storm while God works. We speak a word of faith and ask god to give you your house and all that is therein from the front post to the back post from one side to the other and that God, in Jesus' name give you double for your trouble!" Amen. I feel the presence of the Lord through this keyboard right now.
Let's agree and believe God. We claim those kids, your safety, that God melt hearts and those who are hiding behind doors that God expose them like only he knows how.
Here are other promises we want to hold onto, agree with, and spek by faith. There are so many but here a few. We are believing God with you for a total and monumental victory. Let's just take a moment and worship God and praise Him for being God. Amen.
Jeremiah 32:27. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?"
Isaiah Chapter 35.
Isaiah 41: 10-20. All those who were inflamed against you shall be embarrassed, ashamed, and frustrated and they will be as nothing. Those who strive with you will persih.. Those who war with you shall be as nothing. You will seek them and not find them.
Isaiah 43.
Isaiah 51:11-13
Isaiah 53:4. Do not fear. FOr you will not be ashamed. You will not become frustrated. You will forget the shame of your youth and you will not remember your widowhood any longer.

From Bitter to Better
Since you are surrounded by so many witnesses who have won before you strip off and throw aside every unnecessary weight and that tendency to quit that so overwhelms you and run with patient enduracne and with steady and active perseverance and persistence the rase that is before you. Look away from all distractions unto Jesus the Leader, Source, and Finisher of our faith Who endured the cross and ignored the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Do not be weary and lose heart. Hebrrews 12:1-3 Amplified Bible.
You began a job today. You took on a project. And now you are having second thoughts. You can do this. Break out of the norm. Expand your coasts and borders and pray God to keep you from evil as you serve him in your capacity. You are in God's will today. Go from bitter to better and don't quit now.

Our Personal Relationship with S.T.O.P.
My personal message: | |

Psychology of Abuse
Secure attachment in childhood nurtures social competence. When circumstances prevent a child from forming attachments, they are often withdrawn, frightened or even speechless. These affects can last into adulthood. Serious emotion scars will be present for the remainder of their life.
This is often the case with abused children, such as those who have been raised in a home or location where there is little stimulation and attention from their primary caregiver. In worse situations it may be actual extreme neglect and emotional, physical or sexual abuse.
Often into adulthood the emotional scars represent themselves in either fear or aggression. It often causes issues with partnering. Some abuse victims who have children will often feel neglectful and/or abusive to their young.
The unloved become unloving. Most parents, who have abused their children, will admit to being abused themselves. Many inmates convicted of violent crimes or murder will also confess to being abused in childhood.
Does this mean that today's victim is tomorrow's victimizer? No, it is not always that. As a matter of fact, if the abuse was isolated to early childhood, children who are abused are more likely to not become abusive or turn into violent criminals. They have the opportunity to become normal adults. However, treatment of emotional scars is necessary and the isolation from the abuse must take place in early years. The older the child is when being abused, the longer it will take to recover… possibly causing issues in adulthood.
Young children who are terrorized by physical abuse often suffer from symptoms such as nightmares, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse or aggression. Sexual abuse if severe and prolonged, place children at risk for health problems, psychological disorders substance abuse and criminality.
Children are generally very resilient, however when extreme childhood trauma is experienced, permanent footprints can be left on the brain. When repeatedly threatened, causing a fear response in the body, the brain chemical of serotonin (which calms aggressive impulses) is made sluggish. The brain literally produces less natural aggression calming chemicals from repeated fear experiences. This is what causes aggressive teens and/or adults.
"Stress can set off a ripple of hormonal changes that permanently wire a child's brain to cope with a wicked world," said researcher Martin Teicher (2002).
Psychological research shows that twins (with the same genes, same parents, and same habitat) will grow up substantially different if one is abused and one is not. The twin, who has suffered sexual abuse including intercourse, has greater risk of depression, anxiety and substance abuse than their twin.
Although child abuse increases the risk of depression, many abused people do not suffer from depression and most depressed people have not been sexually abused.
There is a chance for a normal life for those who have abused as children or adults, but you must act now!! Take the steps needed to improve the life of someone abused now… you might be their only chance at living unaffected.

What is Counseling? By Miranda Rhuda – Psychology Undergrad and Ministry Agent
Counseling is a relationship between a skilled/trained individual and a person who is seeking help. Both the skills of the helper (or counselor) and the atmosphere in which the counselor creates, assists those seeking help to learn to relate with themselves and others in more productive ways.
Usually, counselors are psychologists who have undergone rigorous training and/or received their doctoral degree. However, this is not always the case. A counselor may not have received their psychology degree, but may be a clinical practitioner with the proper training. However, a counselor must have the personality to help people, not only the required skills. Without the proper personality, the skills are useless.
Client and counselor relationships should be therapeutic, never degrading. The point of a client/counselor relationship is to empower the client so that they will no longer need a counselor to soothe their anxiety, deal with problems or validate their self worth.
A client cannot build a relationship with others until they have built a position relationship with their "self". They must explore and know what they like, dislike, distrust and/or hate. They need to establish and build positive values, expectations and lives. Once this task is completed, they can them move on to exploring a relationship with others.
Removing the symptoms of a client will not alone remove the problem. The problem will again resurface, therefore a counselor must educate the client on how to properly deal with the problem when and if it surfaces again. The counselor must educate the client on both interpersonal and intrapersonal skills to achieve this goal.
Interpersonal skills are things such as assertiveness and conflict resolution. Intrapersonal skills are doing things like praising yourself when you deserve it and not taking the blame for the mistakes or bad decisions of others. You must learn to not take everything so personally!
If you are interested in counseling services, please contact Miranda Rhuda with Silent Ministries Recovery Outreach. Services are free. Send me an e-mail to misswriter415@aol.com or smrobadd@aol.com

How to Become a Penny Pincher - Money Saving Tips
Do not buy something JUST because it is on sale. Only buy what you need, WHEN it is on sale.
Do not waste money thinking that you have to get a new car every five years. You will never get ahead that way.
Brown bag your lunch to work, rather than buying or eating out.
Use public transportation when possible, it is cheaper than gas.
Lotteries are a waster of money and a tax for the naieve. Do not waste your money on lottery. This should be spending cut #1.
Only shop for clothes when you absolutely NEED to. When your clothes are worn, have holes or are faded and you can no longer wear them and look decent, that is when you should purchase new clothes. You can only wear a max of 14 outfits a week (and that is wearing two a day). There is no need to own 300 items of clothing.
Pay off your credit card balance whenever possible. There is no reason to THROW money away into the INTEREST trashcan.
If you were to lose your job, you should have enough money to cover your household for six months. This should be the emergency savings and it should be goal #1 for getting ahead.
Making more money is not the answer to your troubles. Spending less is the answer. If you made more, you would just spend more and you would be in the same boat as you are now.
You should be saving at least 10% of your gross income. The ideal target is 15 to 20%. Saving is a great addiction when you begin to see the numbers of that account begin to build up. You will want to make it grow and grow more. It makes you feel like you are worth more when you can say that you have "X" amount of money.
How to Save and Become a Penny Pincher for Household Expenses
Detergent, paper towels, trash bags and small appliances are all household expenses. Small expenses, over time add up to major money.
Keeping your housekeeping expenses under control:
Do not try and maintain a lifestyle beyond your means. Live beneath you financial means. You do not need to display how much money you have by spending it on unnecessary household items.
Follow storage and care instructions for food and clothing. This prevents errors and wasting.
Buy NON-Disposable products such as Razors that last, cloth napkins, rags and kitchen towels. They may cost more the moment that you are buying, but they will save you lots of money in the long run.
Always try to learn how to do household repairs yourself if you can, it is cheaper than hiring someone to do it.
Get in to recycling. Save cans and turn them in for money to the scrap yard. Save on your trash costs by recycling or burning rubbish.
Do not use the excuse that an appliance is broken, to purchase a new one. Most of the time, the part to fix it is cheaper and it will last just as long with a repaired part. Most appliances can be fixed for little cost.
Live by this rule: "Use it Up, Wear it Out, Make it Do or Do Without It."
Save receipts for major purchases so that you can report losses to the insurance company if something disastrous occurs.
Save all your warranty's and keep them in the proper location so that you can find them when you need to return your item. Many people lose their warranty and then just PAY for repairs or replacements. It is a waste of the money paid for the warranty, the money to purchase the item and the money paid to purchase the new item. BIG MISTAKE due to disorganization.

Friday Devotion
Amplified Bible: I know how to be abased and how to live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare, or going without and being in want.
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me ( I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's strength.
I charge you to be anointed today and to walk in the strength of God's peace and sufficiency. You are more than adequate to accomplish for you and others what is in your heart.
We love you dearly and pray for you.
