Lance and Diana:

During all these years I have been very blessed with weekly meetings from Rivers of Judah ministries . There were so many great experiences with the Lord that we lived together. I had many prophetic experiences with you and one of them was of encouragement and resilience through words and adoration from the Father. You have been a blessing in my life in the my search for the things from above. Rivers of Judah Ministries has made me grow a lot as to become a true worshipper . May the Lord richly bless you every seed sown because we know that the harvest is ready and abundant. Love you dearly Deuteronomy 7.9 Recognize, therefore, that the Lord your God is truly God, a faithful God, who keeps his covenant and his mercy until the thousandth generation towards those who love him and keep his commandments.

Healed through Music

On the 12th of March, 2004 I participated in a meeting Rivers of Judah Ministries was developing here in Orlando (House of Prayer) with my brothers and leaders Lance Sergio and Diana Scates. On that day, I was ministered to through music while sister Diana was playing her flute. (I do not recall being ministered by music in that way before).

After Diana had ministered a prophetic word from the Lord to another sister, she returned playing her flute and my heart started to be touched. Then she came to my side where I was seated and said: “Luzia, the Lord will minister you through the music. It will touch you in areas of your life through music. It will take you to specific moments in your life.”

She started playing her flute and suddenly, I saw myself as a child, maybe 6 or 7 years old running to the arms of the Father. Tough periods and bitter times in my life were coming through my mind in that moment, as a film. These were painful periods and Jesus was speaking to me saying, “You are not alone, daughter, for I was there with you in each of those moments taking care of you”

That time in the meeting produced changes in my life. The Lord knew there were things that I would not like to be ministered in any other way, such as through words. So finally, I saw a woman running into the arms of the Father free and feeling loved by the Lord.

The Lord is faithful. He heals us, set us free and cleans us by His blood. He has made many changes in my life since I received Him as my Lord and Savior. That night, through music, He once more healed me and set me free from the pain that still afflicted my soul.

Today I am free.

The Embrace of the Father

It was amazing the prayer meeting tonight in the Fiday Night Fire and Furnace at Rivers of Judah Ministries. We could feel the Presence of the Lord with a prophetic anointing. It was wonderful!! It is beautiful to see how the Lord answers our prayers and pours out His love and care…This week was the Week of Thanksgiving, and I asked the Lord that I needed to receive a embrace from Him. I wanted to feel Him very close to me, embracing me, and mainly protecting me. When Diana came to pray over me, The Holy Spirit used her with music, playing her flute, to minister my heart, and there, while she was playing her flute, I had a vision from the Lord – I saw His feet, and He was embracing me and putting my face to rest on His chest, He was taking care of me, protecting me from every evil attack against my life and showing His love, His affection and His care to me!! He holds me and kept me away of all evil. As soon as I had this vision and I began to delight myself in the Lord, the Holy Spirit uses Diana that was praying for me in tongues, to give me a big hug. My heart melted for the Lord. Because of that hug thought Di, it was the materialization of the embrace of the Lord that I was expecting, and that I was already receiving spiritually, with the vision I had in mind. I was truly emerged in that lovely hug, receiving the warmth of the Father, His tenderness, love and protection. It was so good! And the Lord said through Di, “:never again, never again”, and hugged me, and that testified in my Spirit, because it was the Lord keeping me, protecting me, and saying that evilness would never touch me again, because I was totally protected in His arms. It is interesting to see how this happened, because everything that I wanted was really the embrace of the Lord, for the fact that I was facing lots of spiritual warfare and oppression in the last few months, and this experience was something so strong, so real, that marked my soul, making even more solid His love, care and protection for me, confirming in my spirit that, no matter what ever tries to come against me, the greatness of the Father is greater, He is a strong warrior, He protects me, He keeps me, and more important of all, He loves me greatly!!

Thank you soooo much Lord Jesus!!!!!!!!!Thank you Daddy for your grace and faithfulness in answering my pure request of a girl, that desires to be in the arms of the Daddy!!! Your love amazes me!!! I love you Lord Jesus!!!!

Lance e Di: Seeking the Lord together with you has been wonderful, and to be able to share, to be blessed by all that the Father has been pouring over your ministry and your lives has made the difference in my walk with Him!! I truly appreciate it, and I love you dearly!!
