A special thanks to the Women at Ebenezer that constantly came to the prayer sessions for one full year, that no matter who was feeling tired or what was going on or plans that had to be change, you all kept it moving and you also kept me going. To the Faithful few: To Minister Trenise Frazier, Deaconess Ellen Smith, Sister Shaquan Donaldson, and Sister Jolisha Smith. And to the others that came on the latter end: to Sister Lisagay, Minister Vivian Nesmith Smiley-McCormick (who has been such a blessing to me not only in Shekinah’s Care, but also coming to support the prayer team) you are my blessing in disguise.

Mission

The purpose of this manual is to bring (teenagers and young adult women and men) believers and non-believers of Christ to an understanding about their relationship with God, by knowing who they are, what their purpose in life and to carefully and caringly discover the issues that keeps all persons/people or individuals from having healthy relationships with others.

Vision

To fellowship intimately and openly with our Creator God and to become effective gatekeepers (intercessors) of God’s Kingdom. Educate, empowered, inspired and push teenagers and young adult women to get over sexually/physically abuse and to gain full employment, healthy relationships and to communicate with others of their community. To answer the question what we tend to ignore and create the space to seek after God’s purpose, plan, and His Word for our lives.

The Commission

On October 9, 2009, The Lord speaks to me and says that He will allow me to have an abuse center for teenage girls who have been abused just like me. I am to invest in a house and to furnish the house and to teach young women how to come out of abuse. The Lord says that He will bless me with the monetary funds as long as I am obedient to him. I then had a vision of the place and it was not in Florida it looks to be in Georgia or South Carolina I wasn’t sure, but it stayed with me for a very long time.

In 2011, I sat at my computer and begin to write the vision, mission and the plans for how Shekinah Care Facility will be and what it would offer those that would come to the facility. After one week, I had everything type up and ready to begin looking for someone to bring my vision into reality (with charts, extended research, pictures and I needed also to have a Board of Directors, A site manager and a three year budget).

A month or so pass and Assistant Pastor Vivian Nesmith-Smiley McCormick, MPA; kept popping into my spirit and I hadn’t really spoken to her in quite some time. And we hadn’t been together as friends in about seven plus years. Vivian and I met at Greater St. Matthews Church around the year of 2001 and we became very close friends during that time. There was such a tugging to speak to her that I finally called her to ask her if she could help with a project of mine. After meeting with her and discussing the details of everything about the vision, she said let her take a look at it and she will get back with me. Well about another month had pass since I had given her the pages of my vision and she called me so that we could meet at a restaurant as we often did for this project. Vivian presented the pages of my vision as a book. I must have cried and thank her over and over again. I had no clue that she knew how to take what I had given her and make it my very own, with pictures, charts, and design.

Since that time, Vivian has become my Site Manager. We now begin to work on forms orchestrated by God, because I had never done this before in my life. Soon then, September 5, 2012, I had incorporated Shekinah’s Care and became the President & CEO & Founder of Shekinah’s Care Facility. After Vivian and I met over a year on this project, it became very clear that we needed another person to add to our meeting/company.

During March 2013, I met another wonderful lady, who was a potential client for the work that I was doing as a Lay Health Educator Consultant her name is Faith Martin. I visited Faith home so that I could sign her up for the diabetes program for Fresh Start Family Services, but after entering her home; I ended up sharing with her my vision and my book and what the center would be for. I did not know that Faith had done so many things and she was literally a Financial Budget Analyst in her own right. Faith wasted no time telling me about her expertise and what she would be able to do for me since I was looking for someone to help me with the budget. Faith is now my Finance Manager; she has sat in on a few of our meetings as much as she could.

January 1, 2014, I began a prayer team at my church (Prayer Victual for the Nations) and it was consist of one hour of prayer and one hour of teaching. The team and I met every other Saturday and every other Monday from 6am to 8am or from 6pm to 8pm faithfully. The first month we did a 21-Day fast and then in the month of May we fast for 21-days again and also one day shut-in. The prayer team would often fast when they were asked. I created the assignments in this book from our prayer team. I had a few pastors and one evangelist, bring their own materials and work on their subject matters from the modules that I had created during the time of our sessions. These team of Facilitators were sent by God, because I could ask them anything and they would do it. They were faithful to the end and they have stood by me to see it through and this prayer training for one full year.

As I prepared my lessons, assignments and talks; I also begin to allow the intercessors to be a part of the teachings. It was phenomenal. The women were so excited and couldn’t believe all the things that were given to them because some even said that they never had receive teaching the way our team of Facilitators were giving it. It was all new to us and also to them. Soon after, I begin to write what God had given me to the intercessory team and before long it was a book.

On May 9, 2013, I became an author of the book called, Naked & Not Ashamed and it was publish through Author House Publishing Company. On July 13, 2013 I had my First Book-Signing Event. And by September, 24, 2013, I became a Certified Life Coach. On April 20, 2014, I became an Associate Pastor of Ebenezer Worship Center. And on July 9, 2014, I became the President of Life Coaches of Coach & Co., partnering with other certified life coaches into one company. Finally on December 24, 2014, I moved from Florida City, FL to Georgia. February 14, 2016, I was installed as the Pastor of God’s Anointed Radical Church under the shepherd of Apostle Sharon P. Boykins who place her church into my hands what awesome Woman of God and awesome responsibility.

I am telling you of some of my accomplishments, because the testimony of what Jesus Christ can do for any believer speaks volumes and it carries everlasting weight of his GLORY if you would just allow him to use you. No matter what you have been through whether it is rape, molestation, abuse or simply hurting, lost or other things that you can’t seem to get over; I want to encourage you to TRUST God and he will show you the way. I am a living witness of his GRACE and MERCY. Allow forgiveness to infiltrate your heart and he will allow his FORGIVENESS to be granted to you by wiping your slate clean.

I believe God for the Unexpected this year to have a new facility for the Shekinah’s Care Facility. Continue to pray for me and the many people that are assigned to Shekinah’s Care for this great work that the Lord have given us. I look forward to becoming a publishing company also to help others publish their stories through Shekinah’s Care.

Whether you are a client of ours, a ministry or simply a person that came across this book, I hope that this workbook answers a few of your questions that you have been asking yourself. I pray all who would buy this book would receive their deliverance and healing. I do suggest to have other teachers or pastors to help you facilitate the teachings in this manual since it is a year course. I also suggest that when you receive other facilitators that they would sign each client/person book and lessons in the back of the book there is a Facilitator’s Sign-In Sheet, so that it is documented who actually taught the lessons.

Speak to yourself and declare over your life that it isn’t over until God says its’ over! You are a work in progress and so am I. Please continue to pray, fast as well as be obedient to the Lord and you won’t fail, because our Lord is an unfailing God!

INTRODUCTION

I have read many inspirational books in my life time that can influence and inspired many lives to change. Most of the people that I have come across in life (parents, siblings, friends and family), books, magazines, and on T.V. have played some part in the dynamics of how we think and live. But reading God’s Word has change the world, a million times to one, in one day. It has not only changed, but also influenced, motivated, and transformed lives, simply put: it is the number one best seller of them all! The bible is still one of my favorite, insightful and spirited- filled book that I love to read out of all the books in the whole world.

When we continue to explore life with its ups and downs or highs and lows; we can never begin to understand that with God sometimes he doesn’t put a period where you think a comma should be. And He doesn’t put an exclamation mark where a question is located. He doesn’t give up on us, like we give up on others. He doesn’t allow someone else to coach him into believing that the person he has designed, will not continue the journey ahead of them, because God knows where our periods ends.

Often times we have judge, criticize, critique and corrected others for not being the individual we expected them to be, but isn’t it wonderful to know that in spite of our differences in the way we think, relate and speak that God is not bother by none of those things, because he can speak to our minds and show us things that we’ve never seen before…NEVER GIVE UP ON GOD BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU!

God did not allow the enemy to put a period on your life, but He gave you a comma so that you can have another chance at life and another opportunity to do what’s right. He moved heaven, earth and its universe to change that period of death, hell and destruction, so that the comma (which is you), can become like a new creature in him. Our bias, prejudices, racism, religions, and traditions have stopped us from caring for the souls of God’s people. God’s people are those that desire to be his and also for those that are willing to make a change from sin to salvation.

The wonderful thing about discovery is that: It is a very deep and a very search out place. It took archaeologists years to discover Noah’s Ark and their hidden cities (in the word) that lay beneath the rubble of sands and the seas or the fossils of dinosaurs buried beneath the soils of the earth for so long because God hid them. You are hidden in God and no matter how long it is taking for you to reach your PURPOSE, PLAN OR DESTINATION it is only around the corner once you discover who you are and where you should be in God. Sometimes we view precious treasures as trash, but did you know that what some people call trash are God’s precious valuables. You can never know where your treasure lies. It can be buried deep underneath the depths of the sea or it can be lock in the very essence of your past. Treasures that are discovered are the blessings that the LORD can only uncovered.

YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD
