Minister Joan Gumbs

As such, I have converted my profile to a page, just so as to keep the link with my FB "friends". I am a female minister like Priscilla and Junias were during the time of the Early Church. I am also a Worship Leader like Miriam and Deborah during the time of the Old Testament. There are those who say female ministers are not of God--to those I say, you are not of God because Galatians 3:28 states, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor freeman, neither male nor female; for in union with the Messiah Yeshua, you are all one" (Complete Jewish Bible). Since being on Facebook, I have had over 650 persons as my "friends". However, these are all people who I have met offline, who reconnected with me online. Now that I am a "page", my profile is now open to the public as such, I am compelled to make this statement: You are welcome to comment on anything I post. Your disagreement with my posts are also welcome. However, you are not allowed to disrespect or abuse me with your words. If you do, I will be forced to ban you from my page. We are all entitled to our opinions, and if you cannot express your disagreement in a respectful manner, then you do not deserve to share the same space with me. My prayer is that you will be blessed by my posts, and if you are, then please share them with your friends and family. What is knowledge otherwise, if we cannot share it? If you need to post announcements, please bear in mind that they must first be approved by me. I will try to be online daily, but I cannot guarantee that I will see your announcement the same day you post it. Having said that: Welcome to my page. This is the beginning of the rest of my life. Thanks to those of you who have been a part of my life over the years. I pray that I will continue to be a blessing to you. For those who don't know, my ministry is called, How Ya Livin' Now. It is a deliverance outreach ministry for all people. Why HYLN? Because it is "NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for..." it is not how you were living last month; it's not how you were living last week; it's not even how you were living last night. It is how you're living right now. If Jesus should call you right now, are you ready to meet him? But if He doesn't come or you don't go: How are you living in the physical realm in the mean time? How are you living financially? Emotionally? Spiritually? It is God's will for us to live the abundant life on earth. HYLN? You can follow my blog at:

God has been preparing me for such a time as this, and I am here to encourage, comfort, assist in any way I can all those who are calling on the name of the Lord. You don't have to be a Christian to engage with me. Jesus said, "...I didn’t come to call the ‘righteous,’ but sinners!” (Matthew 9:13). My page is open to all. But it is my desire that, if you have never met Jesus or asked Him to be your Lord and Savior, that you will be inclined to do so after visiting my page or interacting with me.
