    Brother Dean, you ministered to me in the evening service at Faith Church in Danville a few days ago. Afterwards I bought your book, Accepted. I thank you with all my heart for your message. You have changed my life. I have a history of trauma and abuse and rejection. Your teaching and inspiration are from God and you have helped me. I feel like that I need to tell you also that I am so glad that you are helping young people. I believe that God is telling me to encourage you that you are pleasing Him very greatly! Your faithfulness is so hugely important to Him and to His kingdom!

      They always write a book and sell their story against what The Lord teaches, rather than using the miracles of Scripture and lead people to The Word of God. They take credit for "helping" folks rather than introducing The Holy Spirit and giving credit to our Lord and Savior.

      @ProclaimFromTheRoofsMinistries Where has God ever stated that you can’t make money off of your works? People don’t usually work for free, regardless of what they do.

    Awesome testimony, i had an amazing thing happen when i was 16, a crime I never committed(I actually contemplated suicide my parents moved all the weapons we had out of the house) and was looking at years and this pastor we went to listen to looked directly at me and said you may be going through a really rough time as of right now but just know God is with you and will take care of you, the lawyer we had all but gave up, so i plead no contest and I remember the judge looking at me and then looked at the prosecutor and said how is this kid in front of me with zero evidence and you want him chrged as an adult. Long story short the judge gave me probation (this part could have been avoided had I not try to fix it myself) this is the first time since I have told this story.
    All this happened after a different pastor came to me and said God said within the next 2 years you will have a choice to make. I don't wish what I went through on my worst enemy. After hearing your testimony I realize I have harbored this hatred and resentment that I just need to let go and let God deal with it.

    I am from Summerville Ga Chattanooga is actually a frequent visited place for my family and I.
    I thank you for being transparent about your experiences and decisions concerning our walk with Christ and Seving the kingdom of God.
    Brother Dean, I don’t know if you have mutual facebook friends or have seen My son Caleb Wells has been missing for 2.5 years. He and I also delt with The Generational Molestation strong hold. Caleb handled his pain through Addiction. However in 2020 He came home , accepted Christ , was baptized and doing very well, and then the familiar spirit wandered back around, they leave for a time, and return to Their familiar places , And I feel this is what drew him back in. A guy from our community who CALEB WAS NOT REALLY TRUSTING EVER, offered Caleb a trip to come to California for a possibly illegal proposal. After Caleb had been for a month , I began to get This feeling
    Something is wrong. I can’t get the local news Channel 3 news or 9 or 12 to Even do a news segment on my son being Missing. Chattooga’s Sheriff’s dept. Won’t even request FBI HELP. Because Caleb is missing Abroad.
    I have had to trust Only in my faith. Many rumors I have heard about My son, and it’s not good.. I refuse to believe Caleb is No longer with us, until THE LORD SHOWS ME WHERE CALEB IS. I have flown to California 7 times staying for weeks at a time, posting flyers hanging them in the roughest of neighborhoods..
    I can’t understand why no one is taking this as seriously as I feel they should be. Caleb is now 33 and he was 31 at the time he left. He has an 18 month old son who does not remember him and a daughter who 14
    I am Redbird Walker on Facebook and I have developed a TikTok account also to help spread information about my son. I have lost over 136 pounds since “Corey” has been gone( that is his nickname) you can use the Various hashtags to pull up anything you want to know more about
    But Brother Dean
    I know what Yoo mean about hearing that voice at the right time. I am praying That I hear soon. Because I feel that only God Is going to be able to reveal this truth, because no one who was involved (2 young men from our community) will talk.
    And step up and tell me the truth about

    May God Bless you
    And I would like to maybe see if we can connect and get this Kingdom Hearts combined together for the greater good of our Youth who may be struggling with various issues that come from The Triggers of Childhood Trauma that have ultimately turned into Adult Issues.
    My email is nwellswalker@gmail.com
    Would you all please help me pray and spread the word and maybe help us get exposure That My son is missing and We need help and answers.
    We have been in anguish for 2.5 years
    Caleb was last in contact with us
    July 2 2021,
    And Nothing since. I can’t even get them investigation leading detectives to ping phones or anything. I’m just at the mercy of The Public and Prayers of the saints to Help me..
    Thank you so much for your time
    Blessings

      I am sorry that they won't help. Do either of the two people that Caleb went with, to California, have any affiliation with the police in your town? You might want to go to someone else to get answers, not all police are corrupt but some are. And where one is, there are typically more very close by. I pray that your son is safe and that you get some answers soon.

    I had this terrible time once God was telling me to call my pap. So I ran up stairs and told my mom I said can we call pap she said he won’t answer. God was saying to me that something’s isn’t right. And the worst thing was when we got that call the next morning and I still beat my self up about it and I can’t be leave I didn’t get to say my final words. But that wasn’t the only time I had the same thing happen to me when my grandma and that how we know god is and he really is moving in lives. ❤❤

Lol its just funny having a conversation with Jesus and you're telling him why you don't wanna do something and he brings up him passing on the cross for you and you're like I mean.. cant argue that lol. Gotta love the lord!
