Hi, I am Deborah H. Massey, Co-Founder of Journey2Wholeness
Ministries.
"I Will Restore" by Cathy Walker from www.cathywalker.com.
My favorite hymn, Great is Thy Faithfulness. Life Scripture-
Romans 8:28 and Ministry scripture and calling on my life:
Isaiah 58:12. Life traumas and the final blow of a life
tragedy led me into a journey of hopelessness and despair.
But the Lord gave me the KEYS to my healing
and total Restoration! I learned I had a Broken
Heart. That was a RHEMA word for me in 2004! (Luke 4:18.)
I had a BREACH in my love walk. A breach in 3 areas?
The prophetic word spoken over my life for many years was
that of Isaiah 58:12. Several prophets and leaders told
me that “ I was called to be the repairer of the Breach”.
I finally know what that really means! The journey to wholeness
in seeking God for answers led me supernaturally in 2004
to A MORE EXCELLENT WAY. At that time I
had ceased all church activities and ministry related involvement.
(You can read more below) I had been medically diagnosed
with the following diseases of which I am healed now:
|
|
- Depression (spiritually oppressed)
|
- Some Food/environmental Allergies
|
|
- Off the Chart Cortisol level
|
|
I sought help from medical doctors who only wanted to place
me on many drugs. I took a few and saw no REAL change. The
thyroid was one they convinced me I HAD to take or else
ALL doom and gloom was going to happen. So I did, only to
see that I had to take MORE and MORE as time passed!
Alternative medicine route was next. I had a FULL bookcase
of bottles and treatments they had me on. Some relief came
but always chasing something NEW to just get me OUT of bed.
I was depleted and defeated and I could
barely move. The pocketbook was in the same state.
I had a learning disability that I just LIVED with that
stemmed from trauma. I fought my whole life to overcome
with defeating lies deep inside. I believed I was just born
this way! These traumas and lies set in motion the ultimate
loss and destruction.
Being in ministry most of my life from teens to present,
I had always sought more of God. I had inner turmoil from
childhood traumas. I was always learning, seeking and training
for answers in:
- Biblical Counseling programs
- Personality temperament and gift testing
- Biblical based self-improvements
|
- inner-healing modalities
- Old school deliverance ministries
- Prophetic ministry
|
Spent many years in the healing lines of major national
and international healing ministries. From the New Wine
5 to the“Toronto Blessing to the
Pensacola revival!” PTL, TBN, CBN
- I did not miss too many. Does this sound like
a similar journey you have been on? It is why we
continue to go from revivals, conferences and the latest
movement, is we want the relief of the inner turmoil and
torment that many struggle from. The spiritual renewals
do wash us up and we do get HIS spirit. God meets us - as
we LET HIM and as much as we know. Hosea 4:6 My people perish
for lack of knowledge.
The deep down oppression, the deep down seeking of “
There HAS to be MORE. Where is the RELIEF and Miracle?
We are supposed to be blessed, we are NOT supposed to be
sick” The church is not being the church!” WHY
God, Why is Isaiah 53 is not happening!
WE are supposed to be BLESSED and not CURSED according
to Deuteronomy 28! Many of us may not call it a curse, but
we feel like something is wrong with us. We have missed
it some how some where and it is just US. What a LIE
of the ENEMY! It is NOT YOU! IT IS NOT YOU! Let
me say it again… IT IS NOT YOU!
Journey2Wholeness Ministries, Inc. was birthed out of it
all! Organized in 2005 for the purpose of training, equipping
and educating others that are sick, either in one or more
of these areas; physically, spiritually, relationally, emotionally,
mentally and financially. Principles written from the book
“A More Excellent Way” by Pastor Henry Wright.
Overview of my life:
Raised in the southern state of Louisiana to a middle class
family. I am the first born with one brother younger by
eight years. Out of womb into the Church nursery and saved
at five years of age. Sought God my entire life. Lived the
traditional conservative life except that I was driven to
excel, finish college and own my own business. Some of the
deepest desire and expectations were that of marriage, family
and ministry with a husband. All of which seemed to be somewhere
off in the distant future. College at the expense and loss
of several marriage proposals where their focus was only
family and not ministry at all. Started my first business
at the age of 22 and self- employed all my career adult
life.
Ministry focused my entire life. Traveled in music ministry
and deliverance, and served on church boards. BUT what I
know- was the more I knew – the less I really knew!
What I did not know- I did NOT know! Make sense? My people
perish for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6.
Traumas of early life, the enemy set me
up for the shocking blow of a devastating marriage that
led to DIVORCE and took me out of life. Approval from leaders
and elders on this marriage. How can we be so deceived?
Great guilt and shame over took me. Leaders and friends
began to disappear, one at a time. One harsh blow from a
good friend before they left the scene- “ You’re
just not fun anymore”. I can’t hang around some
one so negative anymore. Imagine that?
When I learned how to appropriate the word of God and “A
MORE EXCELLENT WAY”, the clock was turned
back!! Beginning in 2004, I began to regain my health, my
life and ministry, and desires of my heart were being restored,
as All the things the enemy stole from me. 2006
was my year of RESTORATION and Year of Jubilee! Samekh VAV
- year 5766. Isaiah 54!
The
Lord restored my health completely in April 2005,
healed my Low Thyroid, got rid of my migraines of over 24
yrs, and got rid of my food allergies, my learning disabilities,
my FEAR of public speaking! Restored my calling in the ministry,
AND the icing on the cake - He brought
me the husband of my dreams that I could dare not even begin
to dream for. I had truly laid that desire down. God knows
how to give good gifts. He gave me a man who goes way beyond
my expectations. My Boaz, named Tommy!
He takes good care of me, supports me IN the ministry that
God called me too. I did not know this kind of relationship
existed. If I had, I would have felt selfish.
God gave me a supernatural child, (Isaiah 54) my very own
beautiful daughter, Krissy. God led her too choose me! What
an honor! Not only have I gotten the best daughter
I could ask for, I got 4 beautiful grandchildren! A son-in-law,
John, who loves and cherishes his family and is a wonderful
provider, husband and father. By the Year 2006 I have more
than my heart could have expected.
I do not have the stereotypical family I had growing up.
I got God’s family. God handpicked
and gave me supernaturally a sister and friend closer than
a brother, who is Traci Morin the other co-founder of this
ministry. My daughter Krissy, and family, and a God fearing
husband that adores and loves me beyond my greatest dreams.
I have earthly blood Parents who support me in EVERYTHING
I DO, along with a great brother, sister-in-law and 2 awesomely
beautiful nephews, Nathanael and Samuel that God added to
our lives just this last year of 2005 and 2006. God has
Restored me and shown me HIS ever lasting love and He
TRULY KNOWS HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO THEM WHO LOVE HIM.
The life scripture - Romans 8:28 of which now have personal
understanding of as well as the ministry scripture Isaiah
58:12. Thank you Jesus for RESTORING ME and calling me to
be the “Repairer of the Breach”, the restorer
of paths to dwell in. Amen and Amen!
God is in to the RESTORATION business.
He wants you walking WHOLE, body, soul and spirit. WELL
and NOT sick. Blessed and NOT cursed. It is HIS perfect
will for ALL of His children. Won’t you come and find
out how to walk in wholeness as our Lord intended?
