Dimple McInvale
For almost 15 years Dimple had her own church ministry in Montgomery, Alabama (New Beginnings Chapel) working with battered women and children. The church ministry began with support groups in churches, apartment complexes and other locations.Because of the success of the church ministry, Dimple was called and invited by the warden of Julia Tutwiler prison to come and work with their women. It was discovered that 95% of those women had been abused, molested or raped by a father, husband or live-in companion, leading many to run away from home into a life of prostitution and crime to survive.For six years her church ministry was allowed to go into Montgomery County Jail and also for six years had her own television program “For Women Only” reaching into homes to give women ways of turning their life around to make a new life for themselves.In 1994 when her husband retired, Dimple moved to country life USA, into a ministry of prayer and dedication to help save children and families. As a born again Christian Dimple believes that through Jesus Christ we can have an abundant life by learning how to pray and do spiritual warfare. After years of seeing the abuse of children and women, God showed her that our battles are with satan, the enemy of our souls and not with mankind. (Ephesians 6:10-18) It is her desire to teach women and parents how to pray to save them from destruction of homes, families and children by the enemy.This ministry will teach women that they too have the same power and authority in prayer as men, just by learning how to use the Name of Jesus Christ in prayer to pull down strongholds. In Philippians 2:10 there is a name above all names “JESUS” and by using that name every knee and every evil force of hell must bow. Sickness has to bow, cancer has to bow, street shootings have to bow, as well as school shootings has to bow.The greatest ministry anyone can have is prayer because Jesus said that His House was to be called a house of prayer. We as Christians are that house.

Beauty for Ashes - Dimple McInvale
YEA!....GOD IS SO GOOD....I am so excited to be having all my articles put together into an E-BOOK for all the world to read even years from now when I have gone home to be with the Lord.
My book is BEAUTY FOR ASHES
.. ..(O...ZION, PUT ON THY BEAUTIFUL GARMENTS. ISAIAH 52:1) if there is anything I have wanted to show and teach the body of Christ, it is that He wants us to ARISE AND SHINE, FOR THE LIGHT HAS COME.
So many of God's people can not hold their heads up and know they are special to our Lord and I thank my God for using an old lady like me, with very little education to march for Him. ...I prayed much about the HAT PARADE and I got a sweet peace from the Lord in doing it. I never meant to do anything that would take away from the power of the Word of God and I came to realize that there is nothing on this earth that is more powerful that WORD OF GOD to draw people to Christ.
Jesus Christ is coming back for a bride without spot or wrinkle. He wants us to hold our head up high and shine for him. My publisher is Beth McDaniel Rogers. (Around the Loop Designs) She can publish your books, she can build you a web/page for you ministry or your church.
GET READY FOR THE LORD TO SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS WHICH YOU KNOW NOT OF. (Jeremiah 33:3) He wants you to step out of the boat.
Chapter 1
STRENGTHEN ME LORD....
Every one of us needs someone to stir up the gifts in us OR to give us a strong push when we are dragging.
So many times in my own life, it is the Lord that moves me in a direction to help me.
Today I was feeling a bit down and absent of strength to get out to lunch with Glenn. I went with a terrible dragged-out feeling. Anyway, I want you all to know that the Lord had many people come to where we were eating; they were in much, much worse condition than Glenn and me. SMILE
That is the way the Lord prevents me from having a pity-party. The Lord wanted me to know how blessed we are by letting us see so many people struggling to make it. THANK YOU LORD!
ISAIAH 40:29...He (God) giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. Isaiah 41:10..Fear thou not; for I (God) am with thee; be not dismayed, for I (God) am thy God; I WILL STRENGTHEN THEE; yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 40:3l..But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their "strength'; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and NOT FAINT
Psalm 138:3...In the Day when I cried thou (God) answserest me, and STRENGTHENEST me in my soul.
I Chronicles 16:27....GLORY AND HONOR ARE IN HIS PRESENCE: "STRENGTH AND GLADNESS ARE IN HIS PLACE.
Psalm 18:2, 29,32....the Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, MY STRENGTH
, In whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
FOR BY THEE I HAVE RUN THROUGH A TROOP; AND BY MY GOD HAVE I LEAPED OVER A WALL. IT IS GOD THAT GIRTETH ME WITHSTRENGTH
, AND MAKETH MY WAY PERFECT.
Chapter 2
WOW!.....GOD HAS A WORD FOR YOU TODAY. GIVE
....AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU. GOOD MEASURE....PRESSED DOWN AND SHAKEN TOGETHER......MEN WILL GIVE UNTO YOUR BOSOM
.
There is no other place in the Bible as plain to us today as in Malachi 3....where God tells us that we are to test Him in OUR giving. So many people are up set in that people have commercialized Christmas in buying and spending and giving
. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THE ROOT OF ALL THIS IS JOHN 3:16 WHICH TEACHES US THAT GOD SO LOVED
THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE
HIS ONLY SON JESUS.
If you do not have money to buy and give, I think you need to begin to give something you treasure away....and I promise you it will come back to you.
If you have a family treasure, give it to some member of your family and begin to open up the windows of heaven back to you. Give away some of your clothes and shoes to homeless people down on the street corner. Give them one of your coats. Give them an umbrella or an old rain coat to keep them dry. BUY THEM A BURGER AND HAND IT TO THEM!
This scripture in Malachi 3 tells us that if we give....THAT GOD WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER (SATAN OFF ALL WE HAVE) FOR US. That means God will fight the devil off all that you have left after you give.
If you have $10.00 ....the first $1.00 belongs to God and if we do not give that to Him, then we become a thief or a robber and this opens a door for the enemy to eat up all else we might have. I once heard Oral Roberts say: IF THERE IS A NEED, SOW A SEED. MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO QUICKLY WRITE A CHECK TO A CHURCH OR MINISTRY THIS CHRISTMAS, FEED HUNGRY PEOPLE, CLOTHE NAKED PEOPLE, VISIT THE PRISONERS AND THOSE SICK (HOME BOUND PEOPLE) Matthew 25:40 teaches us that "IN AS MUCH AS WE DO IT TO THESE, WE ARE DOING IT TO JESUS THIS CHRISTMAS....
Chapter 3
This week I have been listening to Pastor John Hagee (SITTING IN A CHAIR) preaching a sermon on THE STORMS OF LIFE
....He said that some people ask him how long he was going to be preaching from the chair and he told them, he did not know. He says there is no such thing as the children of God not going through storms and he wanted those who have a calling of God on their life to know that the storms precede the great blessings like in travailing in childbirth.
He did not use that example, but that is what the Lord showed me. In Mark 4:35-41 we read of Jesus being asleep when the waves beat into the ship, so that it was full. I know that there have been storms in my life when it seemed like I was FULL TO THE BRIM AND COULD NOT TAKE ANY MORE, AND I MUST ADMIT I HAVE BEEN LIKE THE DISCIPLES AT A POINT THAT I HAVE WANTED TO ASK THE LORD.....carest thou not that we perish? (39) And he (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, PEACE, BE STILL. AND THE WIND CEASED, AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM. (40) AND HE (JESUS) SAID UNTO THEM,
WHY ARE YE SO FEARFUL, HOW IT IS THAT YE HAVE NO FAITH?"
If there is any message I feel the Lord would have me give to His people tonight ....it is Psalm 37:25......I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS SEED (FAMILY) BEGGING BREAD.
Each and every believer is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS....It is not how pretty we are, or how educated we are, or whether we are black or white or Asian, IF WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THEN WE ARE HIS RIGHTEOUS, AND HE WILL NOT FORSAKE HIS RIGHTEOUS CHILDREN.
HE HAS GIVEN US THE AUTHORITY IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME TO SPEAK PEACE TO OUR OWN STORMS. IN THE NAME OF JESUS I SPEAK PEACE TO THE STORMS IN YOUR LIFE AND I SPEAK PEACE TO THE STORMS IN MY OWN LIFE.
Chapter 4
Have you ever stopped to think what great miracles we may have missed out on simply because of our lack of knowledge?
Hosea 4:6 shows us the God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. There is one thing I have really looked at as how we are told that that if we be in Christ, OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, EVERYTHING IS BECOME NEW
. (II Corinthians 5:17)
So many of us have understood the old spiritual life and person which we were is no longer that being. But how about the carnal body, such as our bones, our brain cells, our muscles and major organs? What does it mean to have a new life and a new beginning from that day forward? What does it mean in Joel 2:25 where God tells us that He is going to restore all the years which the enemy has stolen from his people?
Also in Psalm 103:5, what does it mean that God is going to satisfy our mouth with good things; so that our youth is renewed like the eagle's?
I honestly feel that we should be living longer, like Moses lived to be 120 years old and that we should be speaking and possessing NEW
bones and NEW
brain cells every day of life when we have Christ the risen Lord inside of us. We can go back to God's word which teaches us that we can have whatsoever we SAY
... MARK 11:23.. For verily I say unto this mountain, Be thou removed (old body dells) and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart; but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
TRY SAYING YOU ARE GETTING YOUNGER EVERYDAY AND SAYING YOUR YOUTH IS BEING RESTORED EVERYDAY.....THAT YOU SHALL LIVE (to 120 years old) AND NOT DIE AND DECLARE THE GLORY OF THE LORD. THANK YOU LORD FOR GIVING ME A NEW HEART, NEW KIDNEYS, NEW LUNGS, NEW BRAIN CELLS, NEW TEETH, NEW MUSCLES, AND A NEW MIND....BECAUSE I HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. THANK LORD FOR GIVING ME A NEW DAY AND A NEW BEGINNING.....A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST AND RESTORING ALL THE YEARS WHICH HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM ME.
Look at the story of what new stuff God gave Abraham and Sarah at 100 so that they could have sex and have a baby! (smile)
Chapter 5
MY HUSBAND SAID TODAY THAT HE DID NOT WANT ANY ONE GIVING HIM ANY PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS. I TOLD HIM I WANTED LOTS PRESENTS
