I’ve attended church ALL of my
life…been raised in church, in fact. But, to be honest, I had been
confused about what the truth really was because I have heard so
many different gospels from so many different churches, so much so
that I became damaged spiritually by religion. The Holy Ghost
called me out of the church SEVERAL times, but the religion in me
just wrote it off as the devil, thinking that surely God would not
call me out of the church! Indeed, HE DID!

After some very legalistic practices
had been revealed at a church I had faithfully attended for 16
years, I started realizing that something was HORRIBLY wrong with
churches, and so I left that particular church, yet still believed
that there were possibly some “good” churches still left. Not so. I
had gone back and forth to several different types of churches,
only to constantly find the false doctrine and heavy religion that
was being practiced in each one, which was a huge turn off to me. I
was never really satisfied, but DESPERATELY searching for a church
home. The problem was that regardless of the Holy Ghost’s efforts
to call me out of religion and into TRUE salvation, I held onto the
hope that maybe there was still yet a church home, preaching truth,
and a perfect fit for me.

Never found it. I just wanted the
TRUTH!!!! I then started earnestly praying to God for him to lead
me to the truth. I kept praying and kept seeking. HE NEVER LED ME
TO A MAN-MADE CHURCH. Then, I met Pam online. I noticed that her
posts and videos always seemed to resonate with me, and I could
relate to what she was talking about. Everything started coming
together, and I was beginning to see the truth I had been praying
for continue to unfold! Furthermore, she was preaching
TRUTH!!!

I contacted
Pam, desperate for help, guidance, mentoring, direction,
fellowship, and support as I transitioned out of the religion I had
learned my entire life…the Institutional Church. I learned about
the fellowship and support I could gain from RESCUE, and joined. I
had concerns about my salvation because certain things just weren’t
adding up, and I knew that it would be almost impossible for me to
be saved, if my entire life, I kept hearing a different Gospel from
the TRUE GOSPEL.

When I spoke with Pam, she preached
the True Gospel of Jesus Christ to me…but it was NOT recognizable
to me…in ALL my years of being in church! I knew I wasn’t saved at
that point. I prayed for God to reveal to me if what Pam had said
to me was true. And within a DAY, the Holy Spirit began working on
me, showing me the evil of the world, and putting MY sin before me.
Saving faith entered into me when I realized that A DEAD MAN LIVES,
NAMED JESUS CHRIST, AND HE IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suddenly, I realized that HE DID ALL
OF THAT FOR ME!!! I realized who I was before God… the wicked,
wretched person who NEEDED salvation because there was NOTHING I
could do to atone for my wicked nature…NOTHING. I was then led to
the cross. God loved me so much that Jesus Christ came in a
horrible crucifixion and death, paid the ultimate debt for MY
sinful nature through his BLOOD, and then BECAME ALIVE AGAIN 3 DAYS
LATER IN THE VERY SAME BODY, just so I could have a chance to be
reconciled to the Father. NOBODY, would have done that for me or
even has THAT KIND OF POWER OVER DEATH!!!!

That’s how I knew HE WAS GOD! THAT’S
THE POWER IN IT ALL!!! In RESCUE, we continue to proclaim the TRUTH
that is so obviously missing from the churches today. We are
devoted to one another through fellowship, and are a support system
to others who have been called out of the Institutional Church and
are desperately seeking deliverance, counseling, mentoring, and
safe shelter. Pam loves the sheep, and is committed to watching
over you and helping you through truth and love, to defeat the
schemes of the enemy. I don’t know what I would do or where I would
go if I did not have Pam and the RESCUE ministry. If you are
searching for love, counseling, mentoring, friendship and support
of believers OUTSIDE of the Organized Church who preach TRUTH, then
you, my friend, have come to the right place!

RESCUE Mentoring through Pam
Sheppard Ministries has given me the support I needed when I didn’t
know where to turn after being called out of the Institutional
Church. I now have online fellowship, mentoring, teachings, and
basically someone to guide me as I encounter issues I face after
leaving the I.C. I love it! And I have built some wonderful
relationships and get more “meat,” ministry, and fellowship than I
have EVER gotten sitting in any church!!! I also get personal phone
sessions each month! It is a phenomenal service!

When I had no one who understood,
when I searched DESPERATELY for truth, when I had nowhere to turn
for shepherding, no one to guide me and be there for me, God led me
to Pam, and she was there, to give me the strength and tools I need
to have TRUE Freedom in Christ. I thank God for this
ministry!

You will
too!  So give Pam a call at 518-477-5759.

Renewing of the Mind

RENEWING OF THE MIND

Paul wrote to the Romans, “be not conformed to THIS world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind so that you can prove the perfect will of God for your life.” He also warned the Corinthians about casting down imaginations and thoughts  that could exalt themselves ABOVE the knowledge of God. Paul implied that  all thoughts could be “captured” and brought into obedience to the will of God. We know the general will of God from His word.  However, it is the Holy Ghost Who provides the direction of our individual lives   once our minds have been renewed.

Therefore, a renewed mind precedes knowing what God’s will for US is.

So I suggest to you that discovering the will of God for your life involves a renewal. There are some key points that I would like to underscore:

  • We are what we THINK we are. Our thoughts have power to draw both evil and godly energy.  If we have practiced negative self talk, in the same manner, we should consciously practice godly self talk.  Godly thought will bring about godly talk. Godly talk will bring forth the fruits of victory in casting down evil thoughts.
  • A part of renewing the soul is to learn how to deal with what is uncomfortable. Walking on the sands of  a beautiful  beach on a hot sunny day has its comforts and delights.  However,if  the sand is very “hot,”  it is difficult to walk on it.  Struggles and failures supply the necessary preparation to learn how to “walk on hot sand.”.
  • Where deliverance from demonic oppression is concerned, torment can be a blessing.  Torment wipes out the delusion that “all is well” and knocks off the rose-colored glasses. The tormented one is pressured to search for answers and solutions–something that he would not have even considered if he had not desperately sought release from the torment.
  • Anyone who makes decisions either by the influence of an unrenewed mind or emotions is usually weak in his or her will. The will is the organ that examines, distinguishes, judges and makes decisions based upon the information received from the mind and the emotions.
  • Choices can often be long-lasting and unchangeable. We can make the choice but we cannot choose the outcome or the repercussion. In other words, we can choose to sin but we cannot choose the wages of that sin.
  • One of the fallacies is that we assume that we have time to change.  When physical death appears to be “far off,” our will power tends to procrastinate and take chances.  However, when death is a daily reality, we learn to live and make choices that prolong our days.

Once we discover what we need to learn about our own inner struggles, there are other people who will need our testimony and our influence so that that too can be victorious.  A major purpose of struggling is that we can become consolers of those who are struggling in those areas where we have become triumphant.  By planting new seeds of power into our minds, old patterns and habits will be destroyed by the resurrection power of the Holy Ghost.  In a symbolic  context, the seeds are as Jesus said. They are the words of  fruitbearing power.

There is a trained minister with a testimony of “How I Walked on Hot Sand,” waiting to mentor YOU

At Sheppard’s Counseling Center, ministers are trained in a unique deliverance mentoring  program called SEW, Spiritual Empowerment Workshop.The principles of the SEW Program are presented in the book “Recovery In Christ.”  These are ministers who have overcome torment, walked on hot sand, and survived.  From domestic violence, to rape, to incest, to alcoholism,  to parents and grandparents who were practicing witchcraft, these men and women are overcomers. They have a testimony that you need.

SEW I deals with examining false doctrine. Our coordinator, Minister Lourdes does research to find the most reputable videos.

SEW stands for Spiritual Empowerment Workshop.  The SEW Program takes the major truths and tenets in my 6 books and lays out a unique set of steps to deliverance, recovery, and spiritual growth by comparing spiritual development to the natural growth of fruit and weeds in a field or in the ground. Recorded in Matthew 13, Jesus likened the human spirit as “good ground” when it produces spiritual fruit.

The problem today is that there is very little “good ground.” Too  many seeds of deception have been planted into it by organized religion. Deception planted into wayside, thorny and stony ground has produced false conversions by the millions, perhaps more. The field is your spirit and your soul–the ground. According to Hebrews 12:4, the soul and the spirit is divided by the word of God. SEW focuses on dividing soul from spirit so that spiritual empowerment is possible.

Since demons and religious devils have been periodically planting lies and half-truths, the task of the SEW Program is to un-deceive by examining false doctrines and practices and replacing them with truth. SEW trains its ministers and its trainees to turn over the ground of their souls, weed out their character defects by the power of the cross, and re-plant the ground with the truth. For as the Lord said, once truth is known and received, truth itself is the ultimate deliverer. SEW participants learn how to counsel themselves, toward the end of setting other captives free.

SEW was conceived and became operational in 1995, but SEW has evolved into an endtime goal: the birthing of endtime ministers.  To be an endtime minister does not require that one be a bible scholar or to stand behind a pulpit. My goal is to build confidence in each SEW participant that he or she has the ability ro understand scripture. Our minister’s lives are not characterized by defeat, backsliding and discontent. I welcome those who know that they are imperfect, but who desire to learn how to walk moment by moment in complete dependence on and trust in the Holy Spirit.

Specifically:

  • if you are ready to come to terms with your inadequacies, fears and failures;
  • if you are discontent as a Christian with just surviving;
  • if you are not too proud to admit to being deceived;
  • if you have left or if you are considering leaving the organized church system;
  • if you are willing to try the spirits to see if they be of God

Then we at SEW are looking for YOU!

My training approach fosters independent thinking. Dedicated to truth, I live what I preach.I am non-judgmental, yet I judge or examine all things that are spiritual or supernatural. For 34 years, I have walked by faith. Those who allow me to train them grow rapidly. I equip and challenge SEW ministers and mentees to do the work of the ministry of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. My goal is for each SEW member to be a worker for the Lord and to find their place in His Body. Among my SEW trained ministers are ordinary people who have overcome some extraordinary struggles and challenges. They are trained to lead others to walk through similar situations that they have already overcome.  In SEW, they have learned how to do the Lord’s work HIS way.
