2020 VISION

Luke 6:38 NIV

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

To My Friends, Followers, Supporters and Family:

It's because of you, I’ve been able to reach literally millions of souls – either in person or through media. Salvations, healings, deliverance, hope, and restoration are just some of the miraculous things God has brought about through our efforts.

Thank you so much for your continued prayer and financial support.

I’ve been in ministry since the 90’s, but it wasn’t until 2017 that God opened the doors for me to film (60) thirty-minute television ministry segments! SIXTY powerful messages have been prepared, produced and packaged – sent out across the airwaves in just 2 short years! Hallelujah! Glory to God!

This is something the Lord told me He was preparing me to do way back in 1999, when He had me sell my chain of dance studios to follow after His plan for my life. I praise Him for His faithfulness in bringing this prophecy to fruition some 18 years later – just as He said.

It’s because of partners, like you, that I’ve been able to take the good news of the gospel to literally millions of people across the United States through the power of television.

At the age of 57, I’ve never been more confident of my calling and purpose – to teach others how to LIVE… I mean, REALLY LIVE!

As a speaker and evangelist, I’m called to serve. It’s my joy to be able to travel the country, sharing my testimony, Bible teachings and contagious faith. I love speaking HOPE into the lives of a broken humanity – those desperate for a drink of refreshment. And now, just as God predicted, I’m able to reach even more people through the power of television and media. I’m able to take the gospel to those who sit in the secret chamber of their own home surfing the airwaves for significance.

You see, most of the people you and I pass in the streets each day don’t go to church, don’t know the Bible and, frankly, don’t know the Lord. They are just passers by who suffer from loneliness, dysfunction, heartbreak, depression, addictions, relationship problems and absolutely no hope for their future.

It’s no wonder we hear of so many horrible things in the news these days. People without God will eventually bring their depraved mental breakdown into view – sooner or later. Sadly, some of these tormented souls destroy themselves, while others don’t want to drown alone and, therefore, seek to take others down with them.

But, there is a remedy!

Most of America has a TV or a computer or a cell phone. And... together, you and I can reach these souls right where they are… in their own homes!

RIGHT NOW our TV programs are airing coast-to-coast on stations like:

• WGGS TV
• WATC TV 57
• WBPI TV 49
• Faith Unveiled Network
• KAZQ/KTVS - Alpha Omega Broadcasting
• ICFN - International Christian Family Network
• The NOW Television Network
• YouTube
• Social Media
• AND OTHERS!

Your continued support is vital in 2020 as we launch out into the deep with goals to:

*Update Our Production Set
*Film 30 New Episodes (Gospel Presentations)
*Expand Our Broadcasting Networks (our reach / demographics)
*Release an Online Marriage Bible Study to Save Marriages and Save Families
*Produce and Distribute Resources (DVD’s, Books and other Materials) to Prisons, Half-Way Houses and Churches
*Hold Special Women’s Ministry Conferences in Key Cities throughout the US
*AND EVEN MORE!

Our 2020 VISION is BIG and VERY CLEAR.

And, YOU can make a huge impact all throughout 2020 by partnering with me at the $25 per month giving level. For less than $0.75 per day, YOU can change a life, forever!

In fact, every time you change a life, you make our world a safer and healthier place to live – mentally, physically and spiritually.

Thank you so much for locking arms with me as, together, we launch out into the deep!

There is nothing more satisfying than participating in Kingdom Work – God’s Work.

Sincerely in Christ,
Deborah Ross

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Why Honor & Respect Leaders?

I suppose one of the hardest lessons to learn in Christianity is learning to give honor and respect to someone in regards to their position.

Oftentimes, even in our church life, we will be intertwined with people in authority whom we don’t agree with, who don’t do things the way we want them to, perhaps we think of them as less educated or even as one who is not being sensitive to our needs or wants.

Never-the-less, God’s Word tells us to give respect and honor to them as being the ones in authority over us in that setting and/or for that season. He also promises us that as we do this, at the appointed time He will raise us up to be honored and respected in the same way that we have given such grace.

This makes me think of David. While David was anointed to be King as a youth, he was not appointed to be King until many, many years later. In fact, from David’s perspective, he probably (at times) wondered if he’d even live long enough to see that prophecy come to pass.

You see, Saul was the King at the time of David’s call from God to leadership and in Saul’s jealousy of David, as well as his unruly fits of rage, Saul made David’s life miserable. On numerous occasions, Saul even tried to kill David.

Yet, David continued to honor and respect King Saul. In fact, when given a clear opportunity of which David could’ve easily killed King Saul, David took the high road by not taking advantage of a moment that most would consider to be God’s open window of divine opportunity.

Even in his youth and early manhood, David understood God’s order. David had an innate sense of godly character that went far beyond the popular ideas of what was considered to be right or wrong.

David rose to the top in every situation that should have caused him to give up, retaliate or protest. Of course, today we know David as a man after God’s own heart; as a deliverer; as a hero of the faith. But, anyone who has ever lived a life compared to the struggles that David encountered on his way to the top understands that it’s not at all easy to give honor and respect to those in positions of leadership of which we disagree.

On another note, those who are in positions of leadership should always be mindful of their decisions - whether good or bad, weak or strong, emotional or factual. It’s certainly not easy to hold a position of leadership as every little decision carries with it consequences of success or struggles.

Oftentimes, the decisions of leaders can be misunderstood simply because the onlooker does not fully understand the vision, has not invested the energy, time and resources to see the vision come to pass, is not required to undergo the pressures of pulling it all together or maybe just because they view their own ideas as being more brilliant than the ideas of the one in the leadership position.

While being a leader may seem glamorous, important or even powerful, the fact of the matter is that being a leader is very difficult. I suppose that is one reason the Lord admonishes His people to be sure to give honor and respect to those in authority over us. He knows that if He didn’t set this high standard, there would be so much chaos and confusion that eventually no one would ever want to hold a leadership position.

So, what do we do?

All of us are under the authority of someone or something at all times. And, most importantly, all of us are under the authority of God.

Knowing this, we should all strive to hit the mark, the high calling of Christ Jesus by doing our part to be respectful to whomever is mentoring, leading, pastoring or governing us during the Now season of our life.

And, sometimes showing respect is simply in our tone, our grace, our attitude or our patience.

Strongholds of the Mind

What is an ungodly stronghold?

Strongholds of the Mind are thoughts, ideas, beliefs, perceptions, attitudes and opinions... that are lies, yet we esteem them as truth.

An ungodly stronghold is a mental fortress of defense. We must allow God’s Word to demolish these strongholds in order to receive the full benefits of our Salvation.

Strongholds can develop from experiences that have hurt us, magnified us, disappointed us or failed us. They are also developed from LIES we’ve chosen to accept as truth from our culture, our family heritage or out of our own personal bends toward certain sins (iniquity).

An ungodly stronghold is a wrong cause or belief that is strongly defended or upheld - even when the truth has been revealed.

Strongholds must be torn down by a willingness to transform the mind according to God’s Word.

Watch this episode of Choose Life with Deborah Ross. Robin M Bertram is my guest as we discuss how to get rid of Strongholds of the Mind.

New Year Blessing / 5779-2019

Releasing the Blessing...

This is from my Facebook Live on 12/18/18 on The Woman2Woman Ministry group page. I thought I'd share this with everyone as a blessing for the New Year to come. In this special video lesson, I am releasing the blessing of the Lord for the year 5779, also known as 2019. "Behold, God will REVEAL the POWER of His Name and the STRENGTH of His Word this year as He SURROUNDS YOUR LIFE with GOOD!" God will BIRTH something new in your life this year as you participate with Him though prayer, fasting, giving, and worship. You must BELIEVE HIM for the 100 fold blessing, creative miracle and/or promise coming to pass your life. He is a GOOD GOD and He wants to surround you with His goodness as you step into His presence each and everyday, expecting Him to reveal His power. You will receive in proportion to your faith. You will receive in proportion to your giving. You will receive in proportion to your worship. You will receive in proportion to your FIRE! Holiness is the state of being separated for the things of God. Your life needs to smell like a sweet fragrance to the world and your life must smell like a sweet aroma that reaches the nostrils of God. Get Ready! Give Ear! Listen! Walk in the 9 Gifts of the Spirit. If God calls these gifts GOOD, don’t argue with Him. Get rid of your fears and your preconceived ideas about these gifts. He wants you to walk in the supernatural POWER of His Name and His Word! Develop your fruit! Live in the 9 Fruit of the Spirit on a daily basis. These fruit are God’s GOOD blessings to others - through you. The Fruit of the Spirit must shine through your life as you walk in faith, expecting a visitation from the Lord. God gives GOOD GIFTS to His children as they give GOOD GIFTS to others. 5779 - 2019!

God: Is He Conservative or Liberal?

Is God conservative or liberal?

Some would say, which God are you talking about? The God of the Christian, the God of the Jew, the God of the Muslim or the God that I choose to believe in?

For the sake of finding truth, let's say, "all of the above."

Most mainstream religions (and, quite frankly most people) believe in monotheism - the belief that there is only one God. Much to the surprise of the Jehovah Witnesses, as well as the Jewish and Muslim communities, Christians also believe in only One God.

Having said that, when I use the name Jesus in this article, please don't conclude that I am only talking about the Christian faith. While I am, personally, a Christian, I am writing this article to try and bring truth - truth from One God, the God of all creation - into view.

I have found that Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews and Muslims all believe in Jesus as a prophet, they simply differ in their belief of His deity. This article is not a debate about Jesus. This article is a thought provoking post about the One True God of all humanity - no matter your religion - and His ultimate desire for this world and, especially, for human beings in particular.

As a human being on planet earth who believes that God loves all people and He wants the best for all people, I am writing this article to bring about "thought" in the minds of those who either don't practice any religion, at all; or perhaps, who do have faith in God but they have not considered the end result of God's ultimate purpose and plan - His desire for all mankind.

I hope that whether you are a Christian, Jew, Muslim, or of some other faith, you will think soberly about the content of this article before concluding your opinion of what you believe to be the remedy for the evils of society.

Here is my article...

~~~~~~~~~~~

Jesus (whether you believe in him as prophet or as deity) liberally loves all people but He conservatively hates sin and hypocrisy. His life on earth was a visual demonstration of God’s will.

Jesus never condemned the humble, nor turned His back on broken humanity. He did, however, openly condemn those whose “motives” were wrong. 

In fact, in Matthew 21, Jesus angrily overturned the tables of those who were selling doves to be used in sacrifices at the temple. In this same chapter He also spoke a curse onto a fig tree because it did not produce fruit for Him. Again, in Matthew 23, we see Jesus openly condemning hypocrisy and even going so far as calling the teachers of the law and the Pharisees (religious leaders) "snakes and a brood of vipers." 

Jesus would look straight through a person to expose the heart (the root) of the matter.

Everything that Jesus did was the will of God.

God is the same from Genesis to Revelation of the Holy Bible.

For the Christian, Jesus did not come to condemn the law but to fulfill the law. Nonetheless, the law is still God’s standard, because without the grace of God - (for the Christian, the blood of Jesus that only covers humble hearts of repentance) - the law remains in effect.

Satan, himself, tried to use the Word to tempt Jesus. But, because Jesus knew the meaning of the Word better than Satan, Jesus could not be led astray.

In fact, all faiths who believe in the account of the Garden of Eden should be able to easily see how the devil twisted God's Word against Eve when the serpent said, "Did God really say that you would surely die?" The deception was to create confusion, doubt, justification and rationalization in Eve's mind so that she would truly believe (at least for the moment) that it was okay for her to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, although God had clearly said earlier that it was forbidden. Eve probably had a sense of peace (although it was not true peace) when she made the decision to eat of the fruit.

The devil (you might think of him as an evil force) has been twisting God’s Word in the minds of all humanity since the Garden of Eden. Satan (the devil - the worker of evil) is a master deceiver and he is attempting to twist God's Holy Word, still today, in the minds of any human being who does not fully understand the character of God as both Loving and, yet, a Righteous Judge.

God loves people. His judgements are always for the purpose of turning sinful humanity back to Himself in truth and righteousness.

The wages (penalty) of all sin is death.

God does not want humanity to die mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically - not individually, or as a family, place of worship, community, state or nation. (Hence, heaven is the ultimate escape from death. I call the way to heaven The Remedy for the wages of sin.)

Unfortunately, because all of humanity lives in a sinful world, we will all die (from this earth) one day - unless Jesus, Messiah comes back before that day comes.

For a moment, let's compare sin to cancer. Cancer secretly works, destroying good cells and overtaking body tissue with bad cells. Like cancer, you don’t always see sin or feel sin until it is too late.

Much like sin, oftentimes radical measures must be taken in order to eradicate cancer. Initially, these uncomfortable, painful, radical, cell-killing procedures can seem much worse than the cancer itself; but, the end result is intended to bring health and healing to the patient as well as the family members who have been traumatized by the secret mission of cancer.

In the same way, God will use seemingly radical measures, radical people and radical judgements to eradicate the sin that is ultimately killing humanity. His end result is righteousness, peace, joy, health, healing, prosperity and love.

In fact, God will even use people who have a form of godliness, people who are new converts, people of opposing faiths, and those who don't know or believe in Him, at all, to accomplish His divine plan for all of humanity.

Yes, the God of all creation will use circumstances, situations, governments and kings to accomplish His ultimate plan.

He is a loving, yet righteous, judge. He does not wink at rebellion, wrong motives, deceived hearts nor twisted scripture (those who twist His Holy Word to fit their own agenda).

With God - Who is the creator of the universe and the One who allows us to breathe the breath of life...

Right will always be right.

Wrong will always be wrong.

So when it comes to truth, it really doesn’t matter how we view God, it only matters Who He is.


He is.


God.


Christian, would you honestly say that Jesus would confirm the sinful behavior of a people group as the standard for a community?

Those of any belief, would you honestly say that “your God” (whatever religion you practice) would want humanity to be broken, rebellious, confused, law breaking or manipulative for the sake of appeasing human weaknesses?

As a person with common sense, do you honestly believe that a band-aide can fix a broken bone?

Citizen, can you honestly say that skin color, gender, personality or political party is not a factor in your zeal for promoting your opinion of how government should rule?

We should all agree that God loves all people in every corner of the world because for us to judge God's love for any other race of people, we place ourselves on the throne and say that we are God.

We should all agree that doing things the right way ultimately gives God glory and brings all of humanity from all parts of the world into truth and righteousness which ultimately brings peace, joy, health, healing, stability, harmony, prosperity and well-being to everyone.

In conclusion, would you honestly say that God is a conservative or a liberal?

~~~~~~~~~~~

PS - The religions that I listed all agree on the fundamental definition of SIN. So, let's not use that as a crutch for justifying the twisted truth that the enemy of humanity has whispered into our ears.

We can choose to label sin as sickness, how God made me, disease or even our personal belief system; but, the fact still remains that God is the final judge of all creation and we will all die one day to face Him.

Even if you choose to believe that God does not exist, you have an inner knowing of right and wrong. And friend, if any of the religions in the world who believe that there is a God are right about His existence and His standard, you will not have a choice once you die. It will be too late to change your mind.

What we choose to believe carries no weight in the quest for TRUTH.

Truth is God. 

God is truth.
