Go Warn The People is an account of several visitations into Heaven and Hell after a cry that went forth. ''God, if you are real, please reveal yourself to me. You are not a God of religion. You took a great number of people out of Egypt with miraculous signs and wonders. That is the God I want to know!'' Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. After this prayer the LORD began to take me into heaven and also to Hell to show what must come after if we turn our backs on Him, that only through the cross can we be saved and have eternal Life. I saw a vision of two tall trees. Between these trees was a silhouette of a rainbow in the form of a cross; out of the cross came a bright light. These trees represent The tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and The Tree of Life.For me to receive life, I had to leave the old way at the cross with Jesus, who is the Light of the world and eat of the Tree of Life and live. Go Warn The People is a message of Salvation, a warning to turn back to God before it is to late, for the end is near.

Did you know that the Bible records where multitudes followed after Jesus and He healed them ALL? It does NOT record Jesus turning anyone away who came seeking help regardless of the situation or the need. In fact, Jesus said "I will never turn away anyone who comes to Me."

He did not discriminate based upon religion, ethnic background, social status, or type of sickness or disease. He HEALED THEM ALL!

This book was written to share my deepest passion in writing--my poetry. Ever since I was a little girl, poetry has been a passion of mine. It has helped me through depression and heartache, happy times or sad, and has given me an outlet whenever I needed to make sense of the world around me. As a teenager, I would sit by the pond or up on the mountain writing poetry. I would dream of my future husband, my future children or being a published author. I would think about what it would be like to be a published author living in New York or by the sea, writing to encourage others to be who they were made to be. Today, after many years, I am seeing a lifelong dream come true. Let this be an encouragement to others to never give up on their dreams, and if they are going to dream, dream big. God is a big ole God who never breaks a promise or gives up on us, and always moving us into a position of victory to achieve our highest dreams. May everyone who reads this book be inspired and be given a sense of enjoyment in life for the simple things.

The Lord through the Holy Spirit is raising up an invincible, unstoppable, unconquerable, and overcoming Army to bring in an end-time harvest. The Lord is calling. Are you part of God''s army?In his new book, Activating the Present-Day Ministry of the Holy Spirit, author Dr. Lon Stettler is calling those the Holy Spirit is recruiting into action to minister in these last days. This second book in his two-part Activation series outlines the three perspectives of the Holy Spirit''s present-day ministry.The first perspective focuses on understanding scripturally how a person enters into the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and manifesting spiritual gifts.This leads into the second perspective, which is understanding the restoration ministry of the Holy Spirit to bring the church into maturity and number. The final perspective is the actual activation process to mobilize each ministry of the Holy Spirit - the baptism in the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, accelerating the development of the fruit of the Spirit, and activating gifts of the Spirit in your ministry. Dr. Stettler felt God leading him to write a two-part series at the start of 2020, with the first book discussing a righteousness consciousness through the identifying of Christ in us. This book then focuses on the ministry of the Holy Spirit and how to activate it in our lives and ministries.His hope is that those reading become aware of what God has gifted them with after they accepted Jesus in their hearts, the awakening of the Holy Spirit in their lives. With this new understanding, readers will begin to activate their divine gifts and ministries to be a minister in the marketplace, the public square, and the local church.

And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;Women throughout history have been documented for doing many wonderful things!

It is a raw, uninhibited account of the writer''s personal journey. Life is unscripted and things don''t always go the way we would like, and relationships can be harmed or even broken, sometimes by circumstances beyond our control. The question becomes, "How do we view people we are in conflict with?" But more importantly, "How do we see ourselves and the implications of our conduct?" The book also explores the circumstances that can cause rifts in even the closest relationships. The pain and emotional toll are highlighted and helps to explain why people sometimes do what they do or why they are the way they are.The beginning of the book sets up a backdrop of how one woman struggle and decision to salvage the torn relationships with the people she loves. She sought spiritual guidance to learn how to see others'' perspectives and how to start the dialogue to begin the healing process. Second chances can be hard to come by. Therefore, torn relationships are not being reconciled and can affected people for years.But, faith in God and sincere introspective and forgiveness reconciliation can be achieved. The song, "I Need You to Survive" comes to mind, illustrating that life is so much more meaningful and rewarding when you have the right relationship with God and those who matter most to us.-Austin L. Patterson III
