A Diamond in the Rough


I spent nearly a week in Florence, where I stayed with a friend named, Ritta. She is a prophetess and she has also been a friend of Sheldon’s for a long time. We talked many hours about God, and what He has been doing in our lives and others. We are both anxious and excited that God is about to do something special in our lives and others.

Ritta came out of a broken home and dark past of addiction where she was both physically and mentally abused and she is now walking in the Kingdom of Light, and speaking for God. She’s a little rough around the edges to say the least. She doesn’t mince word with you on how she feels about Christianity, false teachers and pastors, or organized religion and churches. Ritta has seen and experienced how they have hurt and damaged so many people and the Name of Christ. Religious people try to avoid her and have even threatened her, because she calls things as she sees them. She won’t put-up with their hypocrisy and religious B.S. and she doesn’t abbreviate. Nor is she afraid to look at a bully and threaten to punch him or her out if they don’t behave toward her or others, because she knows whose on her side.

Neither, does Ritta care to hear people whine about their past or their problems. She heard and seen it all before, therefore she prefers to point them to The Answer, Jesus Christ, and how to walk in Kingdom Life, and if they don’t like to hear it —that’s to bad. Unfortunately, she notice most people still prefer to have their feelings stroked, cuddled or given a pacifier, instead of taking up their cross and follow Jesus. But for those who will listen to her, she has a powerful message of God’s love and grace, and some awesome personal experiences she had in His presence to share.

Ritta spends a lot of time on her face before God, interceding for people and the Kingdom of Heaven. Despite her past, smoking and course language she has brought many people into the Kingdom, because this is the type of people that many churches have rejected. She a beautiful person who has brought healing and restoration into many people lives and I’m proud to call her my friend.

P.S. She also has no problem telling people to get off their fat, lazy ass and start doing something about it and for the Kingdom of God.

I also will be posting more frequently, because I have a lot to share before I get to the Redwoods, and then I'm going to be quiet for maybe a couple weeks and spend time with my Father, and hear what He has to say.
