Minister Phyllis J Ward, Ordain from *God*

First let me introduce myself, I am the I am, because God gives me favor to be, and choose me to be and I choose to do his will . I'm highly favored because I highly favor him in my life. I'm blessed to be filled with his holy present, and he gave his son Jesus to me and the world to gain the holy ghost, I'm glad to be walking in his anointing power of miracles, baptizied at a early age of 12years old at Saint Luke Baptist Church in Fort Gaines Ga, were I gave my heart and soul to the Lord Jesus Christ repenting of all sins and asking for savalation upon my life at early age.

The James, Cannon, Bankston, Stanley, Frankins started the Saint Luke Baptist church in the early 1920's, which they are my foreparents of history of my decrease, greatgrandparents, grandparents & parents of my heirs & heritages. One decrease silbling with parents Jacqueline James,I'm the 7th child of my parents children living, born from two christain and powerful well-beings that carry my life until I was able to carry my on. Brother Iziah W. James and Sister Margain J. (Sampson) James. Both already gone ahead to join Lord in his heavenly place. I'm the youngest silbling of my parents children, but not the lest forgotten, because of my love I have for Jesus and my heart being so real in this land of mankind. I have always love going to worship God, in the foundations, building, the church which is in our fleshly body of Christ. I would do youth children programs and speaches at Saint Luke Baptist Church under the powerful: Rev. Dixon for 15years of my life. I sing in for the Lord two years but didn't like it, I was bored being in a choral in front of everyone looking and staring at me, but that when I see I had something special , I could sing and everyone would smile and praise the Lord with my deep and strong anointed voice as a young teenager.

I could remember when I was young teenager , I would have dreams and couldn't understand what the meaning until today, from God calling. I would have dreams of things happening and I would know things that would happen before they took place. Deaths, sickness, health problems also some very great things as well. I find myself , at the middle of the nite around 2:30-3:30pm waking up in cold or hot sweats. God was trying to get me to do something in the flesh, the Lord was trying to send his love and power and miracles to save his children and myself.
I needed to pray for someone and myself to be delivered from whatever the evil spirit was trying to do to God people.

It took me to go through my trails, trumoils, tribulations of life , deaths and his tests through not being obedient , to get what God his astored appond my life for serving him in sprirt and in truth. I'm older in age, wiser with time, I've gain God understanding through reading his words, and mediating on his spirit and recieve knowledge through his glory and grace that keep us ,and he continue to gives me mercy from day to day of mankind.

I've be been blessed with two kings in my life from God at young adult grown age. My first son Kenny, I had when I was 21 years old and when I gave birth to him, I went home from the hospital two weeks later and find out I was diagnostic with stomach cancer. I had a blood clot that grew into the bottom of my stomach, today I have a Cross that remind me everyday of what happen in surgery and I know the meaning of these scars, today. God lightly affected me to save me from the world in the flesh. This blood colt cause me to be on my death bed for 4months in ICU. Thats' when my true calling was brought to my face, but as a young lady still in the world I didn't understand God hand been place on me. My family gave up on me, in the flesh, but God wouldn't let that happen to me in his holy hands . I could here them saying she's not fighting hard enough to live, but I was they didn't believe in me like my Father in heaven and on earth did. I remeber my fleshly father ask me if I could hear him , and If I could say Jesus in my spirit and mind, and I did. I couldn't speak out loud, but my soul was reaching out to my father on earth and In Heaven. This is a storm God placed in my life, because of the plan he had for me, just like when I was born in my mother womb,this was destine to take place and the righteous never be forsaken. On my death bed I heard a voice and seen vision of light smoke gray clouds, the voice told me and said it's not your time child, I thought I was going crazy, because I heard voices without seening a person there. Voice keep saying I have a job for you on earth for my people, I was like ok. That's when I heard my decrease grandfather Brother Noble James say your father needs you, your mother needs you, your sibling needs you, your just born babyson need you. So fight Phyllis you can do it, open your heart to Jesus and let him in, speak and words will come out, just do it.
I know you are choosen to stay on earth, so fight, fight for life, don't choose death.
I begin to move the next morning and the nurses and doctor when surprise at what took place, It was God miracles that save me, the praying of righteous beening answer that got me here and second chance of life.

When my eyes started to move, mouth also started with words , that's when I begin to read what I was taught at a young children in church, sunday school, elementary school to worship and praise and think the Lord for his grace & mercy. I started reading outloud Psalm -23 Chapter: 1.The Lord is my shepard; I shall not want. 2.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:for the thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5. Thou preparest a table before in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. It lead my family, doctors, friends, nurses to crying and tears of joy where released. . They were asking me what happen? I told them that this spirit visit me and told me to go back , I did just what it said, I was taught to be respectful and humble to listen and obey adults and the holy spirit. I'm alway reading and quoting today just like Isaish said in -1 Chapter Verus 19-20, If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hathb spoken it. he gave me chose to choose death or life, I choose life, he place before me good or evil , I choose goodness of his glory.

I will live internal inside to become more like him external outside to serve the Lord with all my soul, heart, spirit, body, mind . I still ran alittle from my calling because I still won't to be apart of the world, but then I learn that you can be in the world and not have to take part of the world sins. I was healed with God miracle and his hand had been place on me and my life surrounding, blessing and everything I do and everything I touch and agree with the Lord and his decisions on my life.

Two years later I was blessed with my babyson, Kuyaunnis and it was another gift from God. Also I was blessed from God with a prayer of good and sweet , and humble man, he sent me a husband. Brother Rodney Ward, of Dothan Ala, God ordain our marriage in Houston County with both my parents as witnesses and my sons, in Holy Bonds and Matrimony in 1993 of August the 6th. This is when my father became very ill with cancer when I was 25 years old, my father on earth was diagnostic with prostate cancer. That's when I knew that God was trying to get me ready for the world in his Holy eye site, Holy ears, Holy voice, and the Holy walk of life.I had to stop running from my calling that God instore appond my life for me on earth with mankind. I was told not to tell any family member about this cancer, just keep it a secret and we will be ok, God has this in his holy hands. I didn't understand that pressure in that year and time frame, but as I get closer to God through his son Jesus it make it easy to deal with life expectations and trumoils. Both my parents are gone with the Lord, I think him for alying this time I had with them on earth and oneday soon I will see them again as long as I do God will and serve him in spirit and in truth. I will keep his commandments , laws, statues and obey his rules and ask for decrees through his anointing power.Psalm Chapter 27, 28 tells the songs they can explain some of the tests we go through when we are choosen from birth in our mother womb. Though the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

The anointing that I'm walking through is so powerful with voice of tongues and vision , and hand to heal the sick and distress. My faith in God help me deal with my oldest son being diagnostic with brain tumor cancer.
The prayers of righteous is what been answer, he places us at the right place at right time. My oldest is choose from God and he has to stop running like I did when I was young to do what thus the Lord has destine for him on earth for his people.

My Pastor at my second home church, is a Woman of God calling, she has been a strength and blessing in my life also my family life for 11years,she took me and grab my family as hers, I have the upmost respect for this anointing lady that God sent into my life and family life, her teaching is so real that God shines on her face as she walk , talk and live his commandments on a daily bases, her love shows how much God uses her for his people , Pastor Alice Braddy does everything in her soul to teach and preach the gossip. The Lord is upon her soul and spirit and she do his will ,Pastor Alice Braddy of Faith Deliverance Church of Albany, Ga for ninistering for 36years in her and her husband foundation though God calling, he is dereases oversea Braddy, and left her to continue what he started. She has another King coming up in her place when God call her from labor to reward, Co-Pastor Anise Cooper, her voice say it all, her testomonies is from God glory and grace, she is walking in God anointing gifts. Also there is a warrior behind this ministry, Minister John Frankin, so glorified and God hand, he is using him for his people.

ULC Seminary School has helped me with my walk with the Lord a little more easy to understand God ways, laws, commandments ,statues, decrees, because his ways are not like ours or mankind. The Lesson have brought so much more understanding when I'm reading, and meditating on his word. The HOLY BIBLE, King James Version and many other versions,

Bishop Dr. Herbert L Fuchs and Minister Amy Long has been so humble to theircalling in God people of learning more about Jesus Christ our Saviour. I have really enjoyed the connection with Minister Amy Long, testomonies,spirit, love, education, gifts, traveling experiences, her willingness to help God people though the ULC Seminary Classes, Lesson, and Studies of biblical, theories of history. Her teaching, speaking ,soul, and her walk with Christ is special. My sister in Christ this Woman of God has so much power from God great anointing power of blessing and miracles. ULC Seminary was brought into my life for more guidance though God gifts of understanding of his will appond my life on earth.

The phenomonal experience with the ULC Seminary Lesson brought so much wisdom from God , wording meditating, fasting, and anointing powerful level of abundance. Though the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
The New Testament is the lesson I really enjoyed it , and I really recieve the message and it is used by most Christain Churches that I can say I have witness from visiting, or attending services. Every lesson gave me a little more understanding when reading about our savior Jesus Christ the Lord and his journey to save God people.
The reading from Gensis to Revelation. of the Holy Bible Chapters and veruses.

Master Of Religion Lesson-20:Government & Church

2011-02-05T02:14:00.000-08:00

Last Lesson for the online classes from the ULC Seminary. Before the powerful essay of 500words of learning and experiences with theses classes.

Government & Church

I feel that I have learned for this lesson and other lessons like this one that Church and Government does go together and very well, I must say. The country does depend on this for peace in the United States. I see that the statistic for more than 200,000 Christains are discriminated against and have a fear of death worldwide because of their religious or governmental beliefs.

The money that is printed in the United States which is legal does have IN GOD WE TRUST very bold so it gives a message to our people and other countries we are the land of free, and do serve with liberty and justice, not like other countries that laws and rules prohibit these actions.

There are so many lost people in the United States that are still not Christains or live by the ten commandments or the governmental laws and rules, but we have to pray for them as well.

I can say Minister Amy Long, that I do understand and It shows that you also understand the power of Church and Government together, goes hand to hand in our country for the better of all people rights for ther living on earth with mankind. I have been in business for myself for 12years, dealing with Government. I can say I truly enjoy the Church part of me that deals with my clients and future customers to be successful in this world, and to do God will is very important. I understand we are in two different types of warfare. Governemental and Spiritual which is the Church. They both have to be meet and dealth with in order, unity to satify the Father, Son, and Holy Ghosts on earth internal and external.

Master of Religion Lesson-19: Religious Denominations

2011-02-01T03:44:00.000-08:00

This Lesson 19, really breakdown what is a Denomination? A Denomination is aset of like 'brand' of Christainity. There are four Church groups, of that direction, they are the Catholic,Protestant, Lutheran or perhaps a Christain.
The Denominations have been part of the Christain landscape since the Reformation. The Catholic and Orthodox Christains been around for more than hundreds of years before the seismic shift gave us the Lutherans, and the Reformed, the Anabaptist Brethrens and the Mennonites.
The Church began in the east among the Greek-speaking Jews, and the language of the ancient church was Greek. The rites of the Church, such as baptism and the Eucharist, were called *mysteries* of the church, and they are still in the Eastern Church. Mystery is a Greek word that was often used in philosophical and religious discussions to refer to knowledge that was once unclear, but is now revealed.
The Ancient church called the mystery of our**faith**, because they believed that the Old Testament had been teaching these doctrines all along, but they were only clear in Jesus Christ.
Many people seen to believe that they have recieve Gods order to become Priest and to start their own Church. Most of them probably have not sufficent qualifications to do so, other think that being able to quote the Bible verus parts quote flently, thier disbality and lack of knowledge to actually perform the sacramental church procedures.
Lets' talk about Money, some of these so-called churches appears to talk more about donations than God words, laws, statues, commandments, decrees. Most people I would guess are somewhat confuse with a Ordained Minsiter with a Business Manager. We all accept that a Church must recieve donations and tithling, and gifts to exist and upkeep the ministry to continue the mission for the Lords will for us that alies in the heart of faith, inside our spirit and truths well-being on earth.
Also lets' remember through everything we do in his church, to serve Him. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, It's his will to live by his words that are choosen for us to live a better life here internal and external for mankind on earth.
Amen

Master of Religion -Lesson 18: History of the Church IV

2011-01-21T02:29:00.000-08:00

This lesson is about the further Journeys of Paul, which leads to the traveling in a city called Iconium.
Apostle Paul story begins of the healing of a lame man which came from his mother's womb , carried to the gate of the temple called Beautiful found in serve Bibles , in Acts 3:2-8 version of (NKVJ), (KVJ).

It also speaks of when Peter and John where look on us, and they gave heed unto God people, the people were expecting to recieve something of them when they went into the land of Iconium. Peter said to them I don't have Silver and gold, but such as I have give thee, In the Name of Jesus Christ of Narareth riseup and walk. Peter took this lame man by his right hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ancles bones recieved strength. They entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.

Acts (14) speaks of gods pop up, but Paul stood up and told them that they had delivered the same messages from God, to turn away from the useless things to the Living God, that we are made humans in God image, who He made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, which He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

This is how Paul first journey open doors to the Gentiles, after being stoned and left for dead and rose up and coming back into the city the next day with Barnabas and stayed there for sometimes bringing more to Christ and ordaining them to elders in the every church. After there traveling to many cities then they sailed to Antioch and the church there proclaimed how God had open door to the Gentiles.

Master Of Religion: Lesson 17-History of the Church III

2011-01-13T18:30:00.000-08:00

The Journeys of Paul: Paul and Barnabas continue their journey and came to Pisida, here they were invited to speak in the synagogue where Paul preached a good sermon. This was the first recorded sermon of Paul. Acts 13: 16-48 verus when Paul preached to the crowd before him.
Paul sermon was very clear about his will from God and that he sent from him to the human race to give them a good news about God words to his people and saving them from destructionn of mankind.
Paul traced the promised through the history of Israel, and he spoke of how God had stood beside them in all their trails and tribulations: God had promised not to foresake them, God had promised to send a savior and God did just what he said he would, if anyone doubted that Jesus was that savior, the resurrection was the proof that his or her doubt was mistaken. The resurrection of Jesus stands at the heart of the gospel. It was something that God did, and doing it God confirmed fulfilled that promise of Salvation.

Master of Religion Lesson 16: History of Church II

2011-01-08T20:11:00.000-08:00

This lesson on the History of Christianity, The beginning of time tells us how searchs the heavens within ourselves for answers to that which surrounds us, as mankind living. This great gift from God comes from the inner knowledge of people who we know as Priest, Ministers, Shamans,and Holy Man and Holy Woman who have been instrumental in adding us in finding our way as we journey on our path of trying to understand this thing we call faith. In the beginning Saul name in the KJV so to become Paul, in the History of Church II, that most likely Saul was his Jewish name, and Paul was the name if his Roman Citizenship. The History of the Church is important that you can't some it up just in one lesson. Knowledge is power from God and how you use it to bless his people. Amen

Master of Religion : Lesson 15-History of the Church

2011-01-02T13:43:00.001-08:00

History of the Christianity begins with Christ actually with the birth of Jesus, or whenever the scripture started to report about him. The old testament, the people holding these scriptures were Jesus not Christians. The First Christians were the followers of Jesus himself, more than 2000 years of history. Just reas the different bibles and studies that God has place mankind to write from his will.

Master of Religion: Lesson 14---Counseling

2010-12-23T06:01:00.000-08:00

When counseling today's Christians, Fundamental training is highly recommended!
Throughtout a counseling session, the goal is to change the counselor's focus on the false self , a self of lusts and appetites to a realization of his true self, a self in union with Christ. This is accomplished by a continuous process of judging self, one's own sins, to accomplishing God's purposes for his life by loving him and the others foremost, daily dying of the old man and putting on of the new man.

This maintain a state of forgiving and reconciling throughout life, Christ is in us to work out our salvation daily.
I recommend every Christian Minister to strive for more eductaion, reading, meditation on his Bible daily,and training in order to provide these important services of new and old Leaders to help perform better decisions,
Christian Counseling, sufficiently and adequately to help God people make great, and wise decisions about life endurance of mankind here on earth and eternal.

Master of Religion :Lesson 13--- Divorce

2010-12-23T05:10:00.000-08:00

A good marriage takes alot of patience, love and understanding, and foremost respect towards your partner. If anything of these important ethic or emotioms are missing you are not sure that both of you respect one another, truly patience for one another and love, then you should have couseling or talk to Pastor or Minister before getting married or if married before getting a divorce.

Divorce is terminal, it's an end to hope and dreams from months or years even perhaps decades of shared experience that evaporates.

It all depends on you and your Church or Denomination , for it usually a sin for two Christians or two Baptized people in which in the Spirit of God to divorce.

Christians must be reconciled, in Christian Marriages, divorce with remarriage is usually a godly option on when one partner refuse the discipline of the Word of God and his church. No marriage is perfect, it is unique and imperfect.

* Marriage was insitiuted by the Creator as the best possible way with a few execeptions for two separate human beings to live. It is based on the builtin physical, mental, psychological, emotional traits of male and female, we need one another.

Man is incomplete without woman; and Woman is incomplete without man. Commit your marriage to God and Jesus. Christians of all people are responisble to make our marriage work, you can make this work with the accomplishments with God help.

Today churchs are vital part of stablizing society. The church has a very important obligation to fillfull and it is the Minister or Pastor of the Church who determine major directions.Social work is basis of many church and how to create a strong and heathy congregation.

Helping others are christian duties, doing the work professional or with professionalism and love is the primary social obligation of any church.

Master Of Religion: Lesson 12 --Prostitution and Drugs

2010-12-23T03:53:00.000-08:00

   First of all lets start with saying, how can or how do we react to a person that visit our Foundation or Church Building being a prostitute?

      God is the judge of all sins, not us as human being, we should treat one another as we want to be treated, with love and kindness as Christian people or Children of God.
      How long a person may take to resolve a problem or problems like that one or being a prostitue , depends on her/his strength between themselves and God only.

*In some cases prostitution is a fact that it is blooming best or more in poor countries
   Which means we should strive to help them , not condemn those people, we might be able to help someone to free a problem from themselves , that's the Christian way of life and that's how to handle things in a Christian matters.

Prostitution causes many addictions problems like substance abuse, alcoholism and crimes of many levels accompany the scene.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Substance abuse, when people who abuse alcohol and drugs keep using them even when they know it is hurting them, and those they love.
Alcohol is disease , this means the alcoholic is sick.

If you can't get the Christians and Foundations to understand and be patience with your problems,which they should do and be like God, which is patience with us, then come to God which can work all miracles and give you all the strength and understanding you will need to fight for yourself against theses diseases and addictions, because Jesus will be on your side at all times. Just call on him.

Lesson 11-Marriage,Family,& Tithing

2010-12-14T21:11:00.000-08:00

This lesson is very warm minded to the wording of God enlightful meaning to his books in the Old Testament and the New Testament of his leaders to give his children the understanding of what mankind should understand about Marriages, Family, and Tithing. Tithing is a great things in God foundation for the Churchs. It supports the Priests , Pastors, Ministers, leaders who or ordain to do God will for mankind for a descent living. The bible tells us about paying our tithes and tithing, donations, and gifts to Christ who love the Church.

Marriage is a wonderful thing in the law of the land, and God institute marriages very early on after creating mankind.

The New Testament of 2 Timothy speaks of qualifications of Elders and Deacons, to be husband of just one wife, and many more details about his calling and doing his work for Church of God.

A basic rule a solid family to first have solid parents, and the parents that support of the family, not only economically, but morally and spirituallly should be established on a solid foundation. I really enjoyed all these three subject and I wish we could be more open in the Church about them to mankind conversation to wisdom, knowledge, and being wise from God.

Master of Religion Lesson 10-Worship

2010-11-27T21:57:00.000-08:00

Worship is when you meet with Christains in Congregation (people) of a specific church. Yes ,you should enjoy worship and get to know the understanding of what is it to show God revence.

God and Jesus Christ should be the center of attention in church, not us. True, the First of the Commandments is keeping the traditions and remebering not to put any gods before him, also when wearing priest uniforms or black slacks, or black blouse or dress shirts, with dress shoes is more respectful and people judge you better and listen to you with authority.

Kneeling and setting, or standing is another structural part of demonstrate respect to God, by using of a position which reflects the position of a servant of God, when we pray it is important to stand for God. I also know it is important to stand during a Holy Sacrament. It shows respect toward the Lord.

The Holy Communion is the actual reception of the Sacrament of the Euchariest, Everyone who is baptizied should recieve the Holy Communion, if you are under the age of 14 years old it won't count to be baptizied, you don't have any sin against you, which you are children that are to young to understand how to worship.

Holy Communion is when a priest should always wear a surplice or stole, and there should be two candles burning for peace .

Master of Religion Lesson 9-Sacraments & Baptism

2010-11-27T18:25:00.000-08:00

These two words and very powerful into Christain learning of what God written in his Ten Commandments.
Holy Sacraments in the early anicent where called mystery of our faith because they believed that the Old Testaments had been teaching these doctrines all along. Sarcraments from many Catholics are taught that is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace. Visible sign(the physical act) Invisible grace (the spiritual reality). Platonic thinking , is that physical acts and spiritual reality are one and the same.

Baptism is the initation rite into the Christain faith and into the Christain church, which is your bodly fresh.
It is considered a sacrament by everyone who uses the word. Confirmation is the historically the second half of the baptism.

God and Jesus is the authority for baptism, and baptism is a Holy Sacrament given from God to follow His way. Holy Baptism is one of the first among the sacraments, because it is the door to the spiritual life: with which we are made members of Christ and included in the Church.

The Minister of baptism sacrament is a priest, who is authorized to baptize, by reason of his/her office.

In closing my topic of this lesson, Today baptism is a normal ceremony in every Christain church and a Holy Sarcrament. It should not be abused, changed, or modified.

Master Of Religion Lesson 8- The Religious Title

2010-11-27T17:23:00.000-08:00

This Lesson was short, but interesting to the titles of the men and women, with God calling to mankind. The Religion, Position, and on Envelopes, Salutation, Direct Address helps to correctly write, read, communicate with the formal name calling of God's will for his leaders, and servants. The information did enlighten me with some new and different Religious titles for other beliefs in the high power of God grace and mercy.
