About

Out Of The Grave is dedicated to helping women overcome the devastating affects of abuse in their lives.  It is about letting God heal the wounds of the past so that one can have an amazing future!

There are many different steps towards true healing and deliverance, from understanding your worth and value to learning what true love is…not man made lust, but a true, pure, life-giving love that can only be given to us by God.

Out of the Grave was inspired by the understanding that women living with abuse are dead inside…they may still have physical life, but so much of who they are is gone…they are the walking dead. But God can and will breathe new life into you, and together you can be lifted Out of the Grave….

The Valley of Dry Bones

37 The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”

4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a]enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”

Arise, arise dear women of God and overcome the enemies plan for your destruction. You can overcome, you can become, and with the help and guidance of the only One that can truly heal, you too shall indeed be Free!

About the Author

After leaving my husband, I searched for help online and through books in an effort to find someone who understood, or who could offer me insight into the very deep, very raw feelings and emotions behind abuse and overcoming it. It seemed as though the only resources I could find took on a very practical and clinical approach. Although I completely appreciate what they taught me, I never found a resource that really unmasked the effects of abuse. My goal is to share with you my personal experience so that you can learn from my struggles, and my victories!

Where Did the Name “Out of The Grave” Come From?

A few years after I left my abusive relationship, the Lord gave me a vision. I was climbing up a dirt wall. I could see that just above me was grass, but I wasn’t able to reach the top, I kept sliding back down. Then, the hand of the Lord came down to help lift me up over the wall.

When I reached the top, I looked back and realized that I had been in a grave, and behind me, there was a sea of women. I could tell from their eyes that they too had been abused. I bent down to help the next woman out, but I was afraid. I could feel the fear. But the Lord placed is hand over mine, and the fear instantly went away. Although the vision ended at that point, I knew that together, we were going to lift her and the other women out of the grave.

I share this with you not to say that there is anything special about me or in an effort to boast. I am flawed in every way. I am not perfect, I make mistakes. Every day I am reminded of things I need to improve in my life. So do not look to me as a super-christian. I am not. I am a normal person, struggling to find my way just like everyone else.

I started this blog because I can’t stop thinking about it. I can get this desire to help women out of my heart. So, I would rather take this leap of faith and share this journey with you then live my life with regret. The rest is up to Him.
