Mary Frances Moore is the sister of my mother. She is my sweet auntie that raised me after my mom passed. Aunt Francie was not a perfect woman, but this is where I first felt loved. This woman taught me of Jesus. She kept me in church. From seven years old to 18, I was an usher, a choir member. I cleaned the church and served in every way I could because of this lady. With her I learned what real faith looked like in action.
When she was diagnosed with cancer, I watched as her body deteriorated from the chemo. I wept when her hair would come out in her hands. I sobbed when she revealed her removed breasts to me. Bloody, scarred, and bruised, she wouldn’t shed one tear of self-pity. She would only speak of the Lord’s faithfulness and her trust in His healing that she claimed He promised her. This woman was radical to the point people laughed at her and she didn’t care. Her joy, her love for friends and strangers alike, especially the outcast, is what has shaped me into the woman I am today.
The week before she passed, she gave me the doctor’s report that she was indeed cancer-free. The joy on her frail face to boast in her Savior that He keeps His promises was amazing to see. All the same, she has served her purpose in this life. She raised many children that did not come from her womb. I was the last one and I was now a freshman in college and I feel she was ready to be with the lover of her soul. She passed March 20th, 2003. When she left, a piece of me went with her. I will always treasure my Auntie Mary’s love.

From Jesus With Love
My Name Is Mary Elisha I started this blog 6 years ago on my journey walking with Jesus and never knew all that he had in store for me.
It has been a journey of tears, trust and confidence in him. Knowing that He is my loving spouse and he wouldn't lead me astray however he has given many suprises along the way! lol Upon fully surrendering my life to Jesus, he has completely turn my world right side up. Filled me with his spirit and showed himself in supernatural ways. He has completely left me in awe leaving me with the thought.....(as most Holy Spirit filled followers of Christ also say) why didn't I surrender 15 years ago! lol.
When I started this blog I was a 30 years old zealous for the Lord and desiring to make his love known because it tranformed my life. However, I didn't know the way and the road in which he would take me. It is the way of the cross, the way of holiness and the way of love. Living a life seperated from the world and compltely concecrated to him. I no longer belong to myself, but to him as he has led me to a life of hiddeness and deep intimacy I didn't know was so avalialble for all who would make their lives, their hearts his home.
He has given me a new name, a renewed purpose and a heavenly family who is so very present and so real to me. Saints who cheer me on, give me council and pray for me everyday to ensure I do the Lords will and the greatest gift of all He has led me to his Mother! Who has always been My Mother just never knew it.
I love Mother Mary, she is my heart, my friend and confidant and continues to prepare me to a worthy bride to her son, Jesus. It is she, who has handpicked me for this mission and to run the community "City of God: Sacred Heart Refuge" in Ghana, West Africa.
This is her mission and her ministry as a gift to Jesus and I just get to be her handmaiden. Heartdwellers Ghana is an extention of Heartdwellers ministry by Mother Clare and Father Ezekiel from Still Small Voice Channel.
Jesus has taught us about divine intimacy with him. As we dwell in his heart, He and the Father come to make their home within us. (John Where Jesus is all of heaven is as well because the kingom of God is within. So here may you come to get fresh manna from Jesus and any ther saints who may want to give us council, encouragment and exhortation that we may finish this race of faith and run to win the prize. To be a bride spotless, blameless adorened with purity, carying the fire of charity and zeal for our fathers glory. That we maybe ready for him when He comes back for us.
Our Lord, Jesus Christ is amazing the intimate you become with him the more in awe he leaves you. I hope this blog draws you nearer to our Lord and you began to open the ears and the eyes of your heart to all that he has to say to you and show you. All of these messages are from Jesus with love...to you.
May you be blessed by his words of life. God bless you!
