During my transition to Atlanta Georgia it was a time of fear and even despair. I was sent to Atlanta by God Himself to attend college or should I say that was what I thought. Yes I started school according to plan but school was nothing I had expected. I cried for a week and began to question God about what he did. However we all know that our God is a God that never makes mistakes. Once we are hearing Him clearly and not moving in our own will, we can be sure that His will, will be accomplished. A week later, prior to days of sadness, I was introduce to First Leaving Our Ways Ministries (F.LO.W.) which this was three years early. I can truly say that I have never been more grateful to know that I obeyed God. Coming to know about F.L.O.W. Ministries has been a big inspiration to me in more ways than one. The very obedience of the founder is one that I admire. To know that God can give us a vision of the future and a glimpse of a new day and if we don’t move without doubting He won’t be able bring it to pass. The very fact that this is out of the norm of people’s belief and the ridicules and persecution that one may experience; allowed me to understand that this very walk is a sacrifice.

FLOW Ministries has impacted my life. It has been the backbone of the teaching that I have received. It has helped me through my entire college experience. Not only that; but the understanding of the scriptures from a practical stand point were what I really yearn for and I have received. The prayers of the intercessors are real and have allowed me to have assurance that I am not in this walk alone. FLOW Ministries has been more than a blessing. I am very grateful to be a part and I can truly say that this is one of God’s finest. It is a ministry that teaches you who the Holy Spirit is and why He was sent to us. It allows us to bypass our own understanding and seek after that which is of God and no one else. What I love about this ministry is it never deviates from the scripture, which is its core and I really appreciate that. There are so many other man made ministries that do not rely on the word of God that I really would not like to be a part of, this ministry is one that I would recommend to anyone. This is not just a ministry that teaches the word of God; but rather it’s a life changing experience once you are a part of it.

I joined First Leaving Our Ways Ministries several years ago because of its incredibly amazing Morning Prayer Line. I can truly say that First Leaving Our Ways Ministries has one of the best Morning Prayer lines I have ever encountered. And I say this without any reservations because I have been a part of other ministries Morning Prayer line before but First Leaving Our Ways Ministries is the only one that I have encountered that has been successful in enlightening and inspiring me. I believe that a ministry that has a Morning Prayer line is a great ministry to be a part of especially if that ministry uses their prayer line as a means of bringing people together to learn the Word of God teaching them what his plans are for their lives and at FLOW this is done. During our morning prayer the ministers incorporates bible study into the time that we spend on line. And during bible study I like that we have open discussions because through these open discussions we have learned how to better relate to each other and we have formed lasting relationships. Our relationship with each other is helpful because we work together by encouraging each other to grow so that one day we can become great leaders. Every time I look back over my life I am happy that I decided to join FLOW ministry because since joining I have grown a lot. The most exciting thing that has happened to me since being in the ministry is that I have learned the scriptures that I needed to help me get through the day-to-day challenges in my life I am glad I did because I now know thaam not alone. Whoever join FLOW ministry will be happy to do so because I know that person will be able to learn the scriptures and fast because they are broken down where anyone could understand them regardless of their age. As we journey through the scriptures in the mornings we have the opportunity to view them the way that God wants us to because the word is taught by the Holy Spirit through the ministers. I thank God that he has brought the knowledge to the leaders of FLOW Ministry to use the Morning Prayer line as another format for us to learn the Word of God. I am glad to join in the discussion every morning because I want to know what He-God-has in store for me.

I feel so blessed to be a part of First Leaving Our Ways ministries and wish to share why I believe it is a great ministry to be a part of. My journey began several years ago when I met one of the ladies from the ministry in line at my school. When I saw her I kept looking at her and kept saying to myself, there is something different about this lady. I didn’t quit, I kept looking at her, until I finally realized what it was and I said to myself she is serious about God and has a deeper relationship with him that many Christians say they want but very few attain. After I got tired of just looking and I couldn’t contain my curiosity any longer I went over to her introduce myself and we started talking. While talking to her I learned why she was glowing, she was a part of this ministry called the FLOW Ministries (First Leaving Our Ways Ministries). After our long and interesting conversation I decided that I was going to find out more about this ministry and I’m so glad I did.

After learning enough about the ministry I was convince that I needed to join and I became a member of FLOW Ministries. Since becoming a member my life has changed for the better. I am a much different person than the person I was before I joined the ministry. I have grown spiritually and have gained a lot of wisdom for practical everyday living. I love that in FLOW ministries the ministers who teach the word are completely led by the Spirit of God; there is no man-made schedule that they go by and in everything that is done it is done through the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is so awesome to be around people who share the same passion that I do in wanting to have a closer walk with God. People who understand that in order to follow after Christ and be used by him we must first leave our ways and take up our cross. I love that FLOW ministers use interactive methods to teach the word and because of that my interest has been piqued to the point where I have really grown in the things of God. I have become a very confident person; I don’t cower down in a corner any longer. I am thankful that I joined FLOW ministries because it is through my learning about God that I have grown to be the person I am today. I believe that God has pulled me out of my comfort zone and is calling me higher. I know this because now more than ever I have the urge to pray and get into the word daily; I have learned since being a part of FLOW ministries that there is no room for those who wants to remain in a stagnant position but for those who want to grow until one day reach their full potential in the Lord.

Apostle Sharon Green is the founder of FLOW Ministries and she is a great spiritual mother. She uses different method of teaching us the word and many of them are similar to the way Jesus taught his disciples. And just to name a few ways she uses: question and answers, open discussion, and one-on-one training, and so many others. She is a woman of integrity; she is truly a woman of God. She is so faithful and committed to God and that alone has inspired me to grow in my relationship with the Father! Waking up every morning may not be an easy thing for me to do, but in doing so I have learned discipline and the importance of being committed to God and I’ve come to the realization that “those who are faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much,” (Luke 16:10).
