'Heaven's Howl' Preview

(Here's a preview from my new novel Heaven's Howl. Please tell me what you think)

The colors were mostly golden yellow, with a bit of red and blue mixed in. Angels could be seen transparently in the sky lights, dressed in white robes.
“You see! The angels! The aurora borealis…!” shouted Obed, acknowledging this as the sign in the sky promised by God.
At this sight almost all of the wo...
lves believed in God. All knew that God existed now, but the ones who refused to believe did so because they did not want to know a God who would throw a drought on them.
“First of all, God did not cause the drought. Second of all, to answer your question of why He did not get rid of it, I can give you a good analogy about that,” said Obed patiently. “You have a doctor wolf. Alright, well if he is a doctor, then why are wolves still sick?”
“A doctor wolf can’t help if the sick wolves don’t come to him to be healed,” said Abahu with a cold voice.
“Exactly!” smiled Obed. “In the same way, none of you came to God to ask Him to cast out the drought.”

He Lives In You!

Hardly anyone knows this, but before this song was used in the second Lion King movie it was a Christian song created by an African singer/singwriter.

A Perfect Plan


    I was nine years old. It was the same year that we had moved into Ozzie’s house that we moved away due to my father’s loss of work. There would be a job in Connecticut, so my father’s boss said. My father was a carpenter, just like Jesus. When we got up there, in late fall, there was no work. We had literally dragged everything up with us: our furniture and every one of our possessions up for nothing. We ended up moving

back to Florida within thirty days of arriving. For three weeks or so I and my mother lived with my grandparents, and my father lived with my aunt.

    My father had found a house in Key West, where there was supposed to be work, and my parents began to pack… for they were about to buy the house. The day before they were set to leave for the new house, my mother saw an ad in the newspaper for a condo right on the beach. The backyard… was literally the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. This house was chosen instead, and we moved into it in January of 2008. The house was several miles from my grandparents’ senior community.

    Why is it a miracle? Let’s start from the beginning.

    You are probably asking why when we moved up to Connecticut, God moved us back to Florida exactly a month later. And you are also asking why God prevented us from moving to Key West, one of the greatest dreams of the American people. I will tell you why. A year after we moved into the beach house several miles

from my grandparents’ community, my father passed away. If my single mother and I had been stuck alone without any close relatives to help us we would have been in big

trouble, whether we would have been in Key West or Connecticut.

    Nothing short of God’s perfect plan, don’t you think?

Sincerely,
Olivia Hamel

The Shattered Window


    There was a time when I was three years old and I was playing on top of a couch in my house in Connecticut. I stood up and lost my balance and fell into a window which was above the couch. My mother came over and got me out of the mess.

    I didn’t feel a thing, in fact for some reason I was excited… but do you want to know why I didn’t feel anything? Well, my mother checked my body for blood and she didn’t even find a scratch. Jesus had protected me from the deadly glass, which should have cut my jugular and stabbed me in the heart.

    I’m so grateful that He did. As I’m writing this I am thanking Him. The same way He saved me from the shattered window is the same way He will save you from your situations. He protects us because He loves us.

    Just like the way you, as a mother or father, would protect your child so the Lord protects us. Nothing gets in the way of God protecting us, not even glass shards.

    If I had died I never would have written this book for you to read and you never would have seen God’s grace and love.

    Never lose faith in God, he will always rescue you. Never will he leave you in the gutter… ever. He isn’t very mysterious once you get to know Him. In fact, He is a lot like us (the Lord made us in his image and likeness). He loves, he feels grief, he laughs, and He knows the difference between good and evil.

    He loves you very much.


Sincerely,
Olivia Hamel

Man's False Doctrine


In this post I will be very blunt, but I need to be... because I need to get my point across.

God Hates Religion. What is religion? Most people think the obvious, but religion is created by man and it is also man's attempt to reach God... when Christianity (which is simply the Truth, rather than a religion) is God's attempt to reach man.

All those rituals and traditions that the Catholic church demands from a person are required, or that person is going to Hell. Now isn't that horrible? Especially when these rituals and traditions are no where to be found in the Bible. About 99% of what the Catholic church does is based on what the Pope decides, not on what the Bible says. There is definitely an offended Catholic reading this. I am not putting the blame on the people, but instead on the Higher Ups of the Catholics church. I want to let everyone know that you are being deceived by these people. If you followed this blog, my twitter and my facebook then I could teach you many things.

Other false doctrines (which Jesus Christ himself warned against) mormons and Jehovah's witnesses. These are religions where Jesus is used and believed in, but because they have been made through the devil (without the founders knowing, of course) Jesus is not God in those religions. In fact, in Jehovah's Witness God the Father is not a being but rather an 'active force' like electricity.

Back to the subject of Catholics; the Catholic church was born in blood, in the elects' blood. The elect are all who believe in Jesus Christ, also known as saints. About a hundred and fifty years after Jesus died and rose again, the Roman Empire outlawed all worship that was not toward their leader... the Emperor.It had always been this way. But on that day, Constantine, the Roman Emperor, despised these Christians that walked around and were spreading the Jesus message. He wanted his own religion, and based it off these teachings (all that stayed the same in Constantine's teaching is that Jesus is God, mind you). So he made a religion, and called it Catholicism. Anyone who refused to be Catholic, he had drowned, beheaded or burned at the stake. They killed those who they called "unbelievers" and "infidels" up until the 1700s. That's not even half of it. I know the Catholic church believes that if you don't go to church you go to Hell. My entire family was Catholic until my grandmother in the early eighties discovered Christianity and her eyes were opened.

Catholics, look up this verse your Bible (no matter what version it is, Catholic or Christian, they are both exactly the same... except that the Catholic version has a few pointless added books in the Old Testament):

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, is a gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

That should be proof enough that I am sharing the correct message, no?

No one can take credit for his or her salvation. Also the thing in the Catholic church about how every man gets to Heaven by how good they were to people and what they have done.

If it were based on works, and not simply believing Jesus died for you and accepting him , then not even the mother of Jesus would have gone to Heaven. I mean, come on. How are we so good that we are good enough to get into Heaven and be in God's presence? Think about that. We're not, and God knows that. That's why he sent Jesus to take our punishment. He bore every sin that every man will ever commit and took it upon his own body. So how do we get to Heaven? You get to Heaven by believing Jesus died, rose again and is God and by asking him to live in you and save you. Only by that will you go to Heaven.

I could write a book about everything in the Catholic church that is false, but the above are the most insulting to God. Again, I say this with love to the innocent believers of that church I want to let them know what their church is about. Praying to anyone except for God is idolatry, and you all know God hates it. No, praying to anyone aside from God is not okay just because the church says its okay to pray to a saint or Jesus' mother. Man decided these things, not God. There is no pergatory, both of our Bibles only mentions Heaven and Hell. There's not a stop off place at all, but certainly not a stop off place where PEOPLE have to pray the souls out.

Like I said in past posts, look up people like Andrew Wommack, Creflo Dollar and Arthur Blessitt (and Perry Stone and Grant Jeffrey if you're interested in learning about the end times). They'll help you understand the Truth, and they will help open your eyes.

I know there people angry at me. But I'm not worried about it, I am only teaching what the Bible says.

Sincerely,
Olivia Hamel

Christ's Definition of Being 'Born Again'

I would like to talk about Christ's definition of being 'born again". In the Bible, Jesus is talking to Nicodemus and says that a man must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. I do not mean to offend anyone, so by no means do I intend to do so. I know that some people believe that a man will be born again once he gets to Heaven. This is not possible, for the Bible contradicts.

"I tell you the truth, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying: 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound but you can not tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." John 3:5-8

Jesus made it clear in the above that a man must be born again before he enters the Kingdom of God, not when he enters it. When Jesus mentions water He is referring to baptism. He is not saying that without being baptized you cannot go to Heaven, for that would mean by ritual we enter Heaven... which is just not so. Besides, a man on his deathbed accepts Jesus and goes to Heaven without being baptized.

To be born again is what is called "Spiritual Rebirth". It is when you ask Jesus to become your savior. At that moment, you are born again.

Now let me be blunt; if you are not born again, then you will not enter Heaven for you would not be saved.

I think my next message will be about man's doctrine. I know I'll end up offending someone... but I can only tell you what is in the Bible! Watch for the daily post tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Olivia Hamel

No Matter What You've Done...


Jesus spilled His blood while in UNIMAGINABLE AGONY

His body had been RIPPED APART

He could have easily come down from the CROSS being GOD

BUT HE DID NOT

He stayed there VOLUNTARILY

Because HE LOVES US MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER UNDERSTAND

He loves you MORE THAN A MOTHER LOVES HER CHILD

HE DIED

He went to HELL so that you DON’T HAVE TO

He ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY
 
Remember, no matter what you've done, Jesus loves you! Smile because of this.

Jesus wants you to become part of His family.

Would you like to become God's daughter/son?
Read below in full. You won't regret it.
<3

Romans 3:23, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
All have sinned. I'm a sinner, and you are a sinner. The Bible says, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8) No one has a pure heart, and here are the consequences of that sin.

Romans 6:23, "The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Our sin has earned a wage and that wage is death or seperation from God in Hell. God has provided a gift (eternal life) and yet we can only receive that gift through Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:8, "God commends His love toward us in that yet we were still sinner, Christ died for us."
On the Cross Jesus paid the full price for our sins. He died for us and arose again on the third day, then ascended unto the Father. The virgin born Jesus lived without sin, overcame sin and died for our sins. Even in our sin, God loves us.

Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me!" John 14:6
Jesus said "Follow Me" John 1:43
Mark 8:34, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me."
Matthew 11:28, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will Give you rest."
John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
 
Would you pray right now? :) Pray to ask Jesus into your life. He will cleanse you and you will be made righteous in Him. He loves you so much.
 
Pray these words aloud (or if you are unable, pray them silently in your heart):

"Dear God I believe in you and I need you in my life. Have mercy on me a sinner. Lord Jesus as best as I know how, I want to follow you. Cleanse me from my sins and come into my life as my Savior and Lord. I believe You lived without sin, died on the cross for my sins and arose again on the third day and have now ascended unto the Father. I love you Lord, take control of my life. I believe you hear my prayer. I welcome the Holy Spirit of God to lead me in Your way. I forgive everyone and ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit and give me love for all people. Lead me to care for the needs of others. Make my home in Heaven and write my name in Your book in Heaven. I accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior and desire to be a true believer in and follower of Jesus. Thank you God for hearing my prayer. In Jesus name I pray. Amen."

If you prayed that prayer, you are now a child of God and have been made righteous with his Holy Spirit! The difference has not been made in the physical, but rather that your spirit has been made identical to Jesus Christ.

“There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents' Luke 15:10

“There is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.' Luke 15:7
 
Having repented of your sins and asked Jesus Christ into your heart as Savior and Lord it is important now to consider what has taken place:

Jesus has come to live within your heart


"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me". Revelation 3:20.
When you open the door (your will) Jesus comes into your heart to stay. This is a personal relationship with God. You can come to Him with every need and receive certain victory. The One who has made us now comes to live within us.

Your sins are forgiven

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:7-9.

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

The Bible teaches when we repent of our sins the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. To repent means that we turn our backs upon the old way, to put our trust in Jesus and desire to live for Him from now on. When we repent and ask forgiveness our sins are gone. God forgives us — this is good news. Other people may remember but God erases your past.
You are saved
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame". For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". Romans 10:9- 13

To be saved means that we have been delivered form spiritual death through faith in Jesus Christ. Sin separates us from God, but Jesus bore our sins on the cross and paid the eternal penalty for our sins. When we receive Jesus we are saved from the penalty of sin which is eternal separation from God, we are being saved daily from the power of Satan and one day in heaven we will be completely saved from the presence of Satan and sin.
You have received eternal life


For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
Before you receive Christ the Bible declares you to be spiritually dead, but now in Christ you are spiritually alive. Not a temporary life in Jesus, but an eternal relationship with Him. He will be with you every moment from now on. He has promised never to leave or forsake us.
 
You are now the Child of God
But as many as received Him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name. John 1:12

Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Ephesians 2:19

Through faith in Jesus Christ you are now in the family of God, you are the object of God's love and can be sure that your relationship with Him is close, personal and intimate. As a father would love his children and care for them so even God our Father now loves and cares for us.





The Holy Spirit abides within you.Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy spirit who is in you, who you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them, and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people". 2 Corinthians 6:16
God has revealed Himself to us as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He comes to live within us at the moment of conversion and makes our body His dwelling place. Through the Holy Spirit the fruits of the Spirit-filled life (But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self- control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23) can become a living reality.
You have become a new person.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3
Many times people call their new birth in Jesus their 'new birthday'. Inwardly we have become a new person. Things are changed. Jesus Christ changes the heart. The outward actions of our life then become different. God's Spirit lives and abides within us.
Your relationship with other people has changed.
We forgive others as we expect God to forgive us. Walk in a forgiving relationship to others.
Forgiveness is a mark of a true follower of Jesus
"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Matthew 6:12
"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses". Matthew 11:25- 26
We now love other people as we know God loves us. We should be willing to share the material things that God has blessed us with. We should be concerned about the whole of a person - body, mind and soul - and should seek in every way to meet the needs of others.
 
And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18
When we are saved the Holy Spirit comes to live within us, yet often we are not fully in the control of God's Spirit. To be filled with the Holy Spirit is a moment-by-moment walk. When you realize that any attitude or action is not of God then, at that moment, repent, ask God's cleansing and have Him refill you with the fullness of His Spirit. We are filled with His Spirit when we repent of all sin, yield our life to His control and by faith ask to be filled with His Spirit. It is vital for your life to be filled moment by moment with His Spirit. You, as a new person in Jesus Christ, have begun life's greatest adventure.

WHAT TO DO NOW:

Pray daily!
Read the Bible daily! (I would suggest the Amplified version for a new believer, it's easy to read)
Confess Christ openly and Be Baptized!
Keep Christ's commandments. (even if you mess up, God still loves and you are still forgiven. You are still going to Heaven, as well.)


Here is a list of preachers you should listen to get you started off (with links to their pages):

Andrew Wommack (http://www.awmi.net/)
(Go here and pick what year you'd like to see his show from: http://www.awmi.net/tv/this_week
He is also on CTN (or TBN). Find him on there. In the AM hours. Record it. If you can't record, then he usually has a repeat at 9:00 PM or around that time. You will learn SOOOO much about God.)

Creflo Dollar (http://www.creflodollarministries.org/default.aspx)
(Creflo Dollar is on TBN at 1:00 AM or 1:30 AM. Catch him on there.)

Arthur Blessit (http://www.blessitt.com/index.html)
(Look at all of his stuff on the site and learn about God. He's a nice man, so if you ever want him to pray for you write him a letter and he will.)

God Loves You!

Sincerely,
Olivia Hamel

Giving Out Free Copies of Books and DVDs SOON!



This video will tell you something. Based on 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

As you know, I have been called to preach. I am a self-published author on CreateSpace, but I only ever published books. I decided last night that I would publish more than just books and that I would publish a DVD teaching (which will be free of price when put up). I also am planning on handing out free copies of my new book on the street. I also plan on preaching on the side of the street, getting a journal to wrote down my progress (how many people took a book or tract, or got saved right in front of me).

There are three people that inspire me to engage in conversation with these people; God, obviously, that goes without saying, but the first person is Arthur Blessitt. The second person is Kirk Cameron, and the third is Ray Comfort who works on the same show as Kirk. I plan on following their methods of speaking to people; showing kindness and love, while also getting across the point that Jesus died and went to Hell (and rose again on the third day) so that they don't have to go to Hell. Because He loves us beyond imagine. His love for you is even stronger than a mother's love for her child.

I am also going to post my video teachings on YouTube, so if you can't pay shipping for the DVD just look it up on YouTube. I will let you know when it is on Amazon and YouTube. It will be free, so you'll only pay shipping.

Sincerely,
Olivia Hamel

Jesus Loves You So Much!

Everyone knows Jesus died on the Cross for our sins. But they probably don't know that Jesus bore every disease, every sickness, every sin, and every emotion for you on the Cross... so that you don't have to have any of these!

He loves us very very much ♥

Forget What You Think You Know About God.

I am Olivia Hamel, who is running this blog. I bet at least one of you don't know the real Jesus. They don't know how amazing and utterly and speechlessly exciting He is. I would like to say to that person: "Forget what you think you know about Him."

I am here to spread His Word and I will help you understand God, having been mentored by great preachers (Andrew Wommack, Creflo Dollar, Grant Jeffrey, etc). Give God a chance ♥
