Can you fanthom what it must feel like for the State to rule death by lethal injection and within minutes of the moment you are about to die, they postpone your death? Well, this is what happened to Kelly Gissendaner; two attempts were made to end the life of Kelly Gissendaner, the only woman on Georgia's death row and both left her deeply distraught and traumatized.
The bible gives us a reprieve. It's Isaiah 41:10
Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you; yea, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
God will uphold you in the right hand of his righteousness is a powerful bible verseto ascribe to Kelly Gissendaner but Kelly Gissendaner is not your ordinary death row prisoner; she has been redeemed. She had spent the last four or more of her 22 years on death row studying theology and ministering to the women in her midst. While incarcerated, Kelly has been a pastoral role-model to many. Her life has been a living testament to the how someone can be transformed and surrender to Christ. Kelly's life is an miraculous example of how redemption is possible. Taught by world renown theologians and scholars, all of which vouched for her sincere love of Christ, has afforded Kelly the love of God. She has reached out to many women in prison on the verge of suicide and frustration and shared with them the Love of Christ.
Well, the Lord says to fear not, because He is with you and He says to not be dismayed for I am your God we have no choice but to trust Him. We are not to lean on our own understanding when He promises to strengthen and to help. The hand of God is sure to give us the victory. There is no power stronger than His right hand of righteousness and nothing and no one can pluck you out of it either. No one, not the Georgia parole board of elections, which decided that despite all the appeals of a changed life ,that Kelly was going to die by lethal injection. Everybody was certain, including her that her life would be no more. Her children begged the state not to kill their mother and even the council of clergy and educators all could not convince them to give her a commuted sentence.
But the God of second chances, stepped in and no one, not even the executioner, could administer the lethal formula because God had rendered it cloudy. Oh hallelujah, God is the lawgiver, He is the righteous judge and only what he does shall stand. What He does shall stand forever. The attorneys are fighting for her right to live now. Lets pray prayers of agreement. Let us storm heaven on her behalf because everyone redeemed of the Lord must say so.

Sometime on Monday March 2 a few days before her upcoming birthday on March 8 2015, Kelly Renee Gissendaner Georgia"s death row inmate #357507 will be executed by lethal injection
The only women on Georgia"s death row was housed in the Arrendale State Prison in Alto, Ga. This explains why the numerous letters I sent to her returned, she was moved from the main death row prison and housed elsewhere. Kelly found favor with God and with men during her 17 plus years on Ga"s death row. In 2011, she completed a tprison theology course and became pen pals with one of the world"s most famous theologian Jurgen Moltman who although a scholar was a prisoner of war in Germany during WW II. Famous for his eschatological discourse I am assured that he has reconciled Kelly to Christ.Kelly has also befriended Cathy Jappa an Episcopal Priest who has vowed to be by her side during Monday"s execution.. Kelly Gissendaners supporters pleaded for her life to be spared to no avail, the Georgia Board of Paroles denied the request for clemency. The bible"s scripture "new creature" is resonating in my spirit tight now. It doesn't matter how many times you tell someone you have changed and that you have been made new in Christ. They refuse to accept that you have been transformed. They continue to regurgitate the past when old things have passed away.. God is not a God looking to exercise wrath and judgement but rather love and forgiveness. Throughout the bible we see that God hates sin and thus when His people sinned He would punish them. But, when they repented and turned from the sin he as a loving father full of compassion forgave them. He embraced them countless times over and over again. God shows His love for us in ways that we can never understand, it is a divine God that we serve. The bible says God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is a God Of resurrection. The bible says He is the ressurection and the life. When you know who your God is theologically you can never ever be afraid of death. You will not fear what man can do to the body because from The crucifixion of Jesus we learn about the divinity of death and the power of ressurection Kelly serves a divine God and there is divinity in death because her father descended into the lower parts of the earth and got the keys over death and hell. Her life is transformed and she wins ever when the state kills her flesh, God will have the final say concerning her spirit. Imagine it has been 70 years since The state of Georgia has executed a woman. The last woman executed was Lena Baker in 1945 . Lena was electrocuted for killing her employer. In 2005, Lena Baker received a full pardoned post humorously after an extensive fight by her family who argued that Lena Baker was acting in self-defense when her boss was killed. It was determined 60 years later that she should have been charged with manslaughter and should not have received the death penalty. On Monday February 9, 2015, it was announced that Kelly Renee Gissendaner is scheduled to be executed on February 25, 2015 at 7 PM in the state of Georgia, at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson. Gissendaner"s legal team will have a clemency hearing on February 24th 2015, the day before the actual execution. Supreme Court appeal was denied in October 2014. Gissendaner was convicted in 1998 for the 1997 killing of her husband by her boyfriend who testified as part of plea bargain agreement to receive a life sentence. The purpose of this blog is beyond reporting on the crimes that women on death row have committed. My goal is to evangelize Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. My mission is to attain the transformation of the soul that is brought about through the message of salvation. It is my belief that if a confession is made unto Christ by women on death row. They will have the chance at eternal life through repenting, redemption and deliverance. At present, although I have written to Kelly Renee Gissendaner, the letters have been returned. I am not quite sure why. I will be sending her a Sheri Rose Book with bible inspiration to provide a comforting message during this time and I will try writing her again tomorrow. Prayer is important and I am calling on all prayer warriors to pray for her salvation and peace of mind. IJN, Intercessor Abu Sheri Rose writes very encouraging words from the Lord to women. These inspiring words are needed for the women on death row. His Princess, Love Letters From Your King are so inspiring. I am going to give you an excerpt from this book--to give you an idea as to why I have sent this book to many women on death row. Likewise, I hope that you too will be inspired to send them any of Sheri Rose Shepherds books. Here is an excerpt: I need you to visit the page that has the names and addresses for the women on death row and go to amazon now and send the women on death row through AMAZON anything by this author. Thank you.
Recently, I decided to check out the movie "Gone Girl." On that day, I ate out at the notorious Black Finn Diner and instead of letting the day end, I choose to read the movie reviews and then decided to go to see Gone Girl.
The movie was about a girl raised and sheltered by her parents. A girl who lived a privileged life and nurtured to become a writer. She became known as AMAZING AMY because of her creative ability to write stories and publish books It does matter whether you are privileged or indigent; Your parents can plant the seeds for instability and mental illness or they can foster your creativity and it makes no difference whether you are rich or poor. The fact that you may be a rich girl with a trust fund does not exempt you; it does not make for a trouble free life. Before Gone Girl marries she had a psycho history of traumatizing, jolting, manipulating and sexually exploiting her lovers. At one point, she has even accused her lover of rape and caused him to be institutionalized for mental illness. In the movie, Gone Girl marries an ordinary man, a literary person like herself who ends up losing his job and buying a Bar with his sister. Later after finding out that her husband is having an affair; Gone Girl disappears, staging her death and leaving clues that imply that her husband is responsible for her disappearance. Desperate for revenge Gone Girl plots her disappearance leaving a crime scene, befriending and manipulating neighbors so she would have an alibi. As craftily as one would write a Stephen King novel, Gone Girl fiends her disappearance. The unwitting parents come forth to talk to the media about their Amazing Amy"s disappearance. Oh it gets deep. The husband is numb; He doesn't know what to make of it-- it"s the anniversary of his wedding. He is jaded. Not only has he fallen out of love with his wife but he has a secret girlfriend and now he's the one everyone is thinking that's responsible that Gone girl is missing, I don't want to disclose the ending but Gone Girl wins. She is a master manipulator. The person who wrote this movie is speaking to deceit on the highest level. I know you are wondering by now, how all this correlates to the women in death row. Unlike Gone Girl women on death row have themselves been the subject of manipulation and exploitation by others. They are most often themselves victims of deceit and deception, sometimes with childhood origins. I know you are probably saying no you got it reversed the women on death row are exactly like Gone Girl--- only they got caught. While Amazing Amy was faking her death, she returned to the lover she institutionalized for raping her in the past. He is now rich but he still loves her despite what she has done. Gone Girl kills the old lover in a vicious premeditated attack and resurfaces as though He was the one holding her hostage all the time, returning to her husband. What Amazing about Amy is that there are many Amazing Amys walking around in our society. They are psychological damaged sociopaths that skeme, lie, steal and destroy the lives of the unsuspecting and they are not behind bars but are walking around free as a bird. They have somehow slipped through the system escaping therapy and are definitely in need of deliverance. I left the movie house with a greater awareness that their is little demarcation between the women behind bars for the crimes they committed and the sociopathological warfare that is be perpetrated on those who are unsuspecting and ignorant of the devices of Satan. Thus I stay on the wall praying for the women on death row that got caught up in Gone Girl webs.
Would you agree with me that more Christians today know more about the Ten Commandments than about the new covenant of God's unmerited favor? For that matter, if you walked down Times Square in New York City and started to interview people at random, they would have most probably have heard about the Ten Commandments but, know nothing about the New Covenant of Grace that came by Jesus Christ. In fact, the world identifies Christianity with the Ten commandments. Isn't it sad that the world knows us by the laws that are obsolete and not by the unmerited favor that Christ died to give us?
It is no wonder we are losing a whole generation of young people to the world. The law holds no appeal or attraction and the Bible calls the law obsolete (Hebrews 8:13). If we continue shoving the Ten Commandments down the throats of our young people; don't be surprised when they are turned off by legalistic forms of Christianity. More importantly, don't forget that the strength of sin is the law. The law has no power to stop sin. The law will not impart to them their precious identity in Christ, which will give them the strength to abstain from premarital sex. It won't prevent them from getting into drug abuse and stop them from losing their sexual identity. Only God's own sacrifice on the cross can give them a new identity as a new creation in Christ Jesus! Young people, when you catch a revelation of Jesus and just how precious you are in his sight, your lives will be supernaturally transformed. You'll stop being harassed by suicidal thoughts. You will stop wanting to put yourself at risk to "fit in" or to get the attention you crave. Young ladies, you will come to see and value yourself differently as you learn to value yourself in the same way that Jesus values you. Overflowing with Jesus 's perfect love for and acceptance for you--- you will not be under the illusion that you need to give your bodies away to find acceptance and love from some guy. You will love yourselves as Jesus loves you! Young men. you will develop supernatural self control to manage your raging hormones. You will not do it by your own willpower, but through Jesus power flowing through you. You will learn how to flee youthful lusts. You will know that being :cool: means respecting the opposite sex, and not putting yourselves and your girlfriends at risk of contracting S T D's and having unwanted pregnancies. Young people, when you know that Jesus has an awesome destiny laid out for you, the desire to be involved in gangs and destructive activities such as, alcohol, drug abuse, and promiscuity will dissipate in Jesus unmerited favor and love for you. Supernaturally, your desire for the things of the world will disappear as they get replaced with a desire for Jesus.. That is the power of God's grace (unmerited favor) and His unconditional acceptance of us through the cross. What the law could not do, God did for us by sending His own son Jesus Christ! Prayer: "Father, I thank you that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. All My sins have been forgiven. You remember them no more and see me righteous in Christ. I thank you that I am precious in your sight, deeply loved by you and that you have an awesome destiny for me." Thought For Today: I am deeply loved by God, precious in His sight, with an awesome destiny to fulfill! Contact Information for Tiffany Cole: Tiffany Ann Cole -J35212 L.C.I Annex T2201 11120 NW Gainesville Rd. Ocala, FL 34482-1479 Lisa Ann Coleman on Texas death Row Execution scheduled for September 17, 2014- With all this in view, the state has decided to execute Lisa Ann Coleman. My question is : "What sense does it make since to kill someone who comes from this kind of bondage? Who says that a life for a life is justice? What ever happened to the Satanic devises that shaped and molded her life and values? How is it that the cursed are expected not to curse? As far as I can see , there is a cycle of abuse here, Are not the signs of a curse obvious to you? In February of 2013, I was diagnosed with Metastatic stage 4 breast cancer. Any one who knows anything about Cancer knows that stage 4 is the last and final stage. When you have stage 4 cancer it is the most advanced stage of Cancer there is. In fact, I was diagnosed on my birthday and the devil laughed at me as I made my way back home after hearing the doctor's decree. When the doctor shared the diagnosis his next question was who in the family do you want me to tell? I refused to have that to think about. It was his insensitivity that I did not appreciate and I flatly told him that there was no one in my family that i wanted to disclose this information to--- i left mad at myself. I was angry because all the long God had been speaking to me and I was in deep denial. He spoke to me first in a dream and then in pain. He even sent a stranger to ask me whether or not I had cancer. The dream was startling and I actually went to my Pastor for clarity and ended up getting a reprimand. Why was it that I am dreaming that I have cancer? What kind of devilish dream is that! There it was--- I was placed on death row ! Realize that one does not have to be behind bars to be placed on death row. What do you do when you are on death row? Where do you turn? Who do you call on? For me, from the very moment I heard the Cancer confirmed, I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit and If I never listened to Him before, I could never ever lose direction again --not ever. His voice is the most important voice that anyone would ever want to hear and when you hear it you must ALWAYS follow where He is leading, I had ignored the dream, rebuked the stranger, and my busy pastor didn't have the insight and what was I to do? Know this and never forget it-- your trials, your tribulations and your troubles elevate you. It is the three "T"'s that are taking you somewhere--to your deliverance, to your healing, to your anointing, to your breakthrough, and to your next level. No pain --No Gain. There is never ever a new level without trouble. What are we to do? The bible says in Romans' 12 v 12 --Be rejoicing in your hope. Bear your afflictions bravely. Be persistent in prayer. And yes, the bible gives many versions to this very powerful word. But I had to do something more--- I was hearing but I was not receiving. We must receive. My faith needed to be built up. My Church did help me in area of instilling greater faith---every time the prayer Warrior pastors called me, they encouraged me . They stood on the promises that--- God would be faithful to heal and that I must cast all my cares on Him.. Do you know what casting ALL YOUR CARES ON HIM MEANS? It means totally trusting in Him , It means total reliance. It means not looking to the left or to the right but resting totally in Him, His word and in His divine intervention. But it also means to CONFESS healing scriptures daily, relentlessly and to cast down all negative thoughts and I don't care if the doctor is diagnosing, He needs to be rebuked too--after all you are to believe the report of the LORD.. God is so amazing, God is so full of promises and they are always all yes and amen. The bible says God is not a man that He would lie. Numbers 23 v 19 CSB says God is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes His mind. Does He speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill? Well, we are a year and some months from the time that I have been diagnosed and my recent Cat Scan and Bone Scan show no evidence of Cancer. Now God is to be GLORIFIED! What an awesome testimony. God is a MIRACLE WORKING GOD and as I live to glorify his name and tell others of his greatness I want to tell you that He took me off of a spiritual death row to pray for those on women who are physically on death row and what have I learned is that God's ways are not our ways nor are His thoughts our thoughts --- He is no respector of persons. Psalm 50 v 15 says NiV " And call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." I am here to testify that after God will bring you out like He brought out Mary Magdalene with those seven demons and the women by the well with those six husbands. He will bring you out of your mess so that you will serve him, honor him and praise him all your days and you will finally know that there is nothing or no one that deserves your attention more than God, no one more important, or more valuable than your relationship with Him. So if you are wondering why I am praying for the women on death row. Because I answered him when He whispered. I heard him when He spoke and because He is a prayer answering God. I Loved that I shared His goodness and His mercy, Intercessor Abu Brandy Holmes is a women on Louisiana’s death row for the 2003 killing of a minister. In the letter she wrote to me she prayed that I am surrounded within the wings of angels. Psalms 91:Verse 11 says- For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Brandy says she writes for Pastor Beth’s Moore’s Newsletter. She is praying to get her death sentence reduced to a life sentence. Please help fund her account with a few dollars so she can purchase envelopes, stamps and pad paper as she has no family concerned about her well being. Brandy Holmes # 417162 Leo Blue c/B #421 D.R. P.O. Box 26 LCFW St. Gabriel, LA 7 In the Bible we read about the Jabaz a son birthed to a woman. She names him “pain” after conceiving him in pain. He is a man with a pitiful past and no hope for a future. He is a man who struggles to find meaning and significance in life. He is a man who is desperate to be accepted by his fellow man. But most of all, he is a man who craves a relationship with God. Brandy like Jabaz, was named by a mother who loved to drink Brandy. Her mother an alcoholic conceived Brandy in sickness. Brandy was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and her mother was proud to name her Brandy and thus she became a woman with a pitiful past.. In the Bible, we find The Prayer of Jabez 1 Chronicles 4 v 9-10 9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, “Because I bore him with pain.” 10 Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!” And God granted him what he requested. Lets pray for Brandy that the hand of the Lord might be with her and that He will keep her from harm. Let’s pray for God to bless her and have mercy on her soul. She has confessed being a Christian and we are praying for a reversal of every curse on her life. Thee God of redemption can and will make her a blessing. He is the God of breakthroughs. On my facebook page you will see The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini from he National Gallery London, which shows three hierarchies and nine orders of angels, each with different characteristics. I am asking the Lord to dispatch ministering angels to address every situation concerning Brandy. I am decreeing Acts 5:19 - But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said… and the angel of the Lord will say concerning Brandy, that he is the God of second chances and if she comes to Him repenting and believing that he will surely address her case. I am telling the devil to take your hands off of Brandy Holmes, she has claimed Christ as her Lord and Savior. She has been redeemed. And the Lord says in Matthew 4:11 - Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Lord please send your angels to minister to Brandy because we at Praying Without Ceasing and others who are reading this blog will not cease to cry out against injustices. Yes, it is wrong to murder, but it is also wrong to murder to prove that murdering is wrong. Lord, I am praying Psalms 34:7 Lord, let —- The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Colossians 1:16 says16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Heavenly father we are asking you to send angels from the throne realm as hey are living symbols of your justice and authority. According to the New Testament, these high celestial beings are among those Orders at the service of Chris, since t Thrones are known in scripture as the bringers of justice Lord we are Asking, Seeking and Knocking on behalf of Brandy Holmes on Louisiana’s death row. Lord visit her and let her know all is well. iN THE NAME OF jESUS, iNTERCESSOR aBU |
