​Help someone that's lost and hurting today...introduce someone to Jesus today and save their life...FOR ETERNITY

JESUS SAID: 
"I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”
Matthew 25:45-46

JESUS ALSO SAID...

“I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’”
Matthew 25:40 

“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
Matthew 25:35-36

As I was taking off on a flight destined to Chicago earlier I CLEARLY heard the Lord say...

"G FORCE"...FULL THROTTLE!"
"g-force ...is a measurement of the type of acceleration that causes weight."...

The "weight" of impact from supernatural acceleration we are about to witness and partake of (if you are in proper alignment with the will of the Lord) in 216 is immeasurable...
It's like nothing we've ever seen or encountered.
The "Captain" has turned on the "FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT" sign...

the Lord says...
"PREARE FOR TAKE OFF!!!"

Get "right" my friends...if you’re not "strapped in" you will "fall out"...
It's NOW...The TIME IS NOW!!!!

GET READY CHICAGO... you are about to BURN! What happened years ago to your city in the natural, is about to happen in the SUPER natural !FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!
HALLELUJAH!
The FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT is about to be UNLEASHED over you! Your land has been CRYING OUT for the "revealing of the sons of God"!
It's time...ITS TIME!!!
Romans 8:19
"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed."
I heard her cry...and now I hear her rejoicing knowing her salvation is at hand! I hear her singing "Amazing Grace"... "I once was lost but now I'm found...was blinded but now I see"!!! She has been defiled by the wilds of the enemy and now she sings "Amazing Grace"..."you saved a wretch like me"!!!
HALLELUJAH!! JESUS IS HERE! THE KING IS HERE CHICAGO!!!

I got this as I was "preparing to land" in Washington DC...
 
I search high and low...to and fro...
too find a light to brighten my glow... 
Where oh where are you...
The FIRE fly in the night that catches my sight to draw my light... 
I am here where are you...where are you...
I'm here to take ground for JESUS... I am the only fire fly in this land this night that will catch His light ...in DC
The land of the MAN...is about to be brought to his knees as the ONE TRUE GOD is about to invade his  hand!!! 
TPUCH DOWN!!!  7:43
HOME RUN says the Lord! 
 
 
As I fly into and fly out of our nation’s Capitol tonight the anthem "God Bless America" permeates my spirit...I FOUND MYSELF humming the melody unconsciously as I set my feet to her pavement walking over to my shuttle... 
I was praying for "the prayers of the righteous" since the dawn of time for this land to be "resurrected".  
See those prayers STILL resonate in the atmosphere...they STILL HAVE POWER! 
The Lord led me into AGREEMENT with the prayers of the righteous; past present and FUTURE.  
I was also led to pray for PROTECTION over the "righteous" as I am still unsure of which direction the Lord will "go"... 
See the bottom line here friends is this...ITS UP TO US... God GAVE US AUTHORITY... HE GAVE US ABILITY to "trample on "serpents", but we HAVE DONE NOTHING with what He has given us...
We MUST RALLY IN ONE ACCORD TO SEE THE GLORY OF GOD INSTEAD OF THE WRATH OF GOD in OUR LAND!! 
"GO INTO THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL!!!"
GET UP... GET OUT!!  GO to the highways, the byways; GO TO THE CITY HALLS...GO TO THE STATE HOUSES...GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND PREACH THR GOSPEL!!!
Our fate is IN OUR HANDS as God has GIVEN US free will!! 
We've reached the "line in the sand" ... We've reached the "end of the road". We now have a choice;
Go left ... 
Or GO RIGHT!!!!!
 
The CHOICE IS YOURS says the Lord! 
 
Help us Lord... Help us... 
 
I got this as I was "preparing to land" in Washington DC...

When your in the lions den...be a lion tamer
​-Pastor G.

Words cannot describe how blessed beyond belief I feel as a wake up this morning after a powerful move of God last night during our Freedom Friday service. I have suffered much, poured my heart and soul into the Lord and the ministry He entrusted to me, Broken Chains Ministries. My only passion is to see people rescued, delivered, saved and healed. It's not my intention to do church as usual. What the Lord did last night just blew my mind. The vision God threaded into my heart 4 years ago is manifesting by leaps and bounds...This entire week has been one big "suddenly" moment. It gives new meaning to the term "Godspeed". I'm humbled to my very core to be used by Almighty God in such a profound way...and I KNOW this is barely scratching the surface of the fullness God has for BCM/Oasis of Grace. My parents have labored HARD FOR MANY MANY YEARS, my children and I have been through hell and back 100 times over, I should have been dead several times over, BUT THE LOVING MERCIFUL ALMIGHTY GOD CARRIED US THROUGH and is now pouring out a blessing that is far beyond I could ever imagine and it's an unstoppable never ending flow from this moment on. We have TRUELY OVERCOME! Friends I want to encourage you; Galations 6:9
"So let's not ever get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up."
Never give up on trusting God NO MATTER WHAT life throws at you! When you have Jesus in your life and in your heart "death" will never come to you you will never fail... EVER! no matter what it looks like! JESUS IS THE GREAT AND ONLY REDEEMER!
THank you to ALL my friends and family that have supported me and BCM! LOVE YOU ALL!
-Pastor Gina Russo

Look at this picture,  I found this as I randomly flipped through my Bible...
I've had this Bible for about 13 years...
This scripture was highlighted in April 2004 when I was going through one of the DARKEST hours in my life...
That dark hour lasted about six or seven YEARS AFTER I highlighted this scripture... And got worse instead of better during those years... I wanted desperately to end it and tried several times to kill myself... but the Lord wouldn't let it happen, He kept me until the time of my redemption was ready.
I constantly cried out to the Lord and stood on this scripture and others.
Finally the day came where I was set free and delivered...healed and restored. I was also able to forgive myself for all the harm and destruction and hurt I caused myself and my family during that time, as well as those who hurt me unimaginably.
As I look back I wouldn't change a thing.  God used those years to mold me and teach me, refine and prepare me to be who I am today, and who he calls me to be in the future.  
Friends don't EVER give up... EVER.
Let this story be of encouragement to you today. DO NOT give up! Continue to pray and cry out to the Lord and TRUST Him.  Stand on His foundation, the solid rock of the LIVING WORD,  the promises of the LIVING GOD who LOVES you more than anything and is FAITHFUL to you and will NEVER  leave you or forsake u...ever!

Let's make today a day of true forgiveness...
Unforgiveness hurts ourselves MUCH more than it hurts the ones that hurt us...
There IS A REASON WHY the Lord teaches us this...
"bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Luke 6:28
Hers why...
Hurting people hurt people...its a vicious cycle that gets worse and worse in the world as time goes on.
Unforgiveness keeps our own lives in bondage and Keeps us from receiving beautiful blessings that God has for us...
So be set free today...start by forgiving YOURSELF for all the "regrets" you may be carrying around like a ball and chain around your ankle..
Then forgive the one that is hurt you the most and go from there...
I guarantee you you will be amazed at how you feel and how your life changes after this.
"Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." (Colossians 3:13 NLT )

JESUS IS LIFE...HE IS THE GIVER OF LIFE, THE RESTORER OF LIFE, THE HEALER THE DELIVERER... NOTHING IS TO DIFFICULT FOR HIM, NO SIN IS TO BIG FOR HIM TO FORGIVE. HIS LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL AND NEVER ENDING....NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE DONE... HE DIED SO THAT WE COULD HAVE LIFE...AS HE ROSE FROM THE GRAVE ON THE THIRD DAY...WE TO ROSE FROM DEATH WITH HIM. LET GOD RESTORE YOUR LIFE TODAY, LET HIM HEAL YOU BROKEN HEART, YOUR BROKEN LIFE, YOUR BROKEN SPIRIT. HE WILL DO IT...AND WE CAN HELP YOU GET THERE IF YOU'D LIKE. BUT YOU CAN DO THIS RIGHT NOW, AS YOU READ THIS...CRY OUT TO THE LORD AND ASK JESUS RIGHT NOW TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE, INTO YOUR WORLD AND SAVE YOU... "JESUS SAVE ME".... JESUS, HELP ME"..." LIVE IN MY HEART, BE WITH ME EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY, GUIDE ME EVERY STEP I TAKE." "JESUS I NEED YOU NOW"...
I did this...and I my life went from literally being inches away from death..to ABUNDANT LIFE! And now I get the PRIVILEGED of helping others! Im blessed beyond measure every day of my life!

Ask The Lord today what he's trying to teach you through your trial... what does he wants you to know, see or understand... What is the goal that he wants you to accomplish through this trial? What is the game plan or strategy you need to follow to navigate through this time?
This is the prayer that needs to replace the agonizing prayer of ...WHY GOD!?!? WHY ARE YOU DOING T...HIS TO ME!?!... WHERE ATE YOU!?!?!!...
Instead try this...
Lord what are you trying to teach me through this trial? Lord open my eyes to see what you want me to see ...open my ears to hear what you're trying to tell me...show me what I need to know so I can grow... Most of all Lord give me the strength to learn...
Make yourself available to be taught instead of wasting time complaining, pouting or taking a tantrum...it only prolongs the lesson...
Here is the bottom line...
You can't get the blessin untill you learn the lesson...
God Bless you

The Lord is saying ...

"STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE people to accept me... 
Psalm 46;10...
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

Just EXAULT Him... TELL THEM that Jesus loves them... Then remove yourSELF...and let GOD BE GOD!!! We try TOO HARD TO BE GOD!!! Stop wasting your time... You only complicate things... KEEP IT SIMPLE... John 3:16...
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever BELIVES in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
JUST INTRODUCE HIM ... HE WILL DO THE REST!"

Approach God from a place of surrender.  Surrendering your entire life removing all bitterness, all preconceived notions and uncertainty.  Come with an open heart, seek deeper . If you are true and sincere God will come to you,  you just need to be still and wait on the Lord He will come when you are truly truly ready. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Eternal life to gain by a simple total surrender,  all glory will break out in your life! 

We must remain at some level of human weakness in order for GOD to be our total strength. If we function and operate on our own strength, in our personal lives and in our ministries...we wont get very far. There is FAR TO MUCH God needs us to do, that we MUST RELY TOTALLY on HIS STRENGTH! Remain HUMBLE....remain low so HE CAN BE LIFTED UP...SO HIS POWER CAN MANIFEST through us!

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” THEREFORE I WILL BOAST ALL THE MORE ABOUT MY WEAKNESSES, SO THAT CHRIST'S POWER MAY REST ON ME. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
AMEN!

WE NEED TO BE WHERE WE ARE AT IN ORDER TO GET WHERE WE ARE GOING OR WANT TO GO.  SO LONG IS IT IS WITHIN GODS WILL.  DON'T TRY TO RUSH TO THE PULPIT OR INTO MINISTRY OR INTO "LIFE" UNTIL YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THE STEPS GOD NEEDS YOU TO GO THROUGH BEFORE HAND.  WE ALL WANT TO SERVE GOD...BE MINISTERS, PASTORS, PREACHERS, EVANGELISTS, HUSBANDS, WIVES, HAVE HAPPY LIVES AND SUCCESSFUL CAREERS ETC...BUT IF WE RUSH IT...OR TRY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN OURSELVES....WE WILL NOT SUCCEED OR BE NEARLY AS FRUITFUL AS GOD CALLS US TO BE. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I UNKNOWINGLY DID IT.  THE PRICE I PAID WAS HEAVT TO SAY THE LEAST!  BE PATIENT...LET GOD BE GOD.  HE WILL BRING YOU INTO FULFILLMENT OF YOUR DESTINY IN HIS PERFECT TIME.  BE MOLDED BY THE GREAT POTTER...BE TAUGHT AND CORRECTED BY THE GREAT TEACHER, THE ONE WHO LONGS TO GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART...IT WILL COME! 

So many blessings right under our noses and for some reason we don't always see them. Most blessings do not appear to be blessings, they appear to be just the opposite. HUH... it is a hard concept to grasp, but the key to this "technique" that God uses, is that we remain in TOTAL FAITH and TRUST in Him no matter what the circumstances look like. Trying to see things through the eyes of God ( from a spiritual perspective) will help us understand the things we go through. We have to look past what seems to be the Obvious, the tangible, what is in front of our faces, and look at the circumstances through Gods eyes. You will be shocked what you see. You will see what is really going on. Trusting in Him means HE ALWAYS HAS YOUR BACK, no matter what. Seems so cliche' , but it is just plain fact. Trusting in Him means that every single thing that happens has a profound purpose, and all things truly ARE working together for the Glory of God, and the for greatest fulfillment in our lives!

I have seen MORE MIRACLES in the past 4 months OUT ON THE STREETS of NE and NYC...than I have EVER seen my entire life...not kidding. And let me just say this for those of you who don't know me... I have been saved my whole life...born of a woman who has been a lay down lover of Jesus HER whole life...by the time I was 6... I told my mom that I would live forever because Jesus saved my soul. I have been to more conferences...prayer meetings....healing services....deliverance services...seen major demons being cast out....seen people instantly healed of terminal cancer without even being present for the prayer...and I myself was instantly healed and life spared many times.... whew.... yea... I BEEN THERE DONE THAT...

So....all that to say.... THE MIRACLES ARE IN THE STREETS GUYS!!! Get out of the pews and take a walk down your street! God will use you to SAVE A LIFE! literally...there are people out there on their way to go kill themselves...and God could put YOU in their path with a message of salvation that will save their life....GO...GO GO OUT! If you don't, God may force you like he did me this the past 24 hours...(like I havn't done enough street ministry the past few months...NO...NEVER ENOUGH!!)

I posted earlier how my car broke down yesterday...and don't have access to any other car...not by coincidence, I now see. Since yesterday....just 24 hours... I witnessed to 2 tow truck dudes....and have had to walk all over my city to get where I had to go. Along the way...COUNTLESS people talked to me as I walked and prayed every step of the way.. When people would say..."hey... whats up?" I respond..."Jesus is coming back soon"...thats whats up... the giver of life is calling you..." As I walked I was eating an apple...people remarked..."wow, you don't see that ever"... just because I was eating an apple...so I respond.."this is the fruit of the Lord...the fruit of life that has been given to us by God to eat and be healthy." God gave us life...Jesus is life.." and I continue walking...making a Holy Ghost into "deposit" every person I talk to...
God led me to sit in a little neighborhood park as I walked...didn't know why...but I went...and prayed there of course...next thing I know... a homeless man is sitting next bench over from me..talking on the phone....I hear him talking about this awesome church he has been going to that he eats at...they feed people there...

He was trying to get a friend of his to come. Well I had realized he was talking about my sista Deborah Rushworth and her ministry...Reaching the Fringe, which was just a couple blocks from where I was. So there you have it...I knew I was there for that man. He hung up the phone...I said nothing...HE SAYS....Hi.... how are you?... lol... go figure...so I began to talk to him...told him that I heard him talking about my sister.... he was surprised to randomly run into another "church" person in the park...I didn't look like a "church" person...in my exercise attire... lol... anyhow... we talked for like an hour... he shared many stories of how the Lord saved his life many times... and yet..he was homeless and a "drunk" as he called himself. I explained to him how the Lord told me to go sit in that park...and he said..."God sent you here for me tonight"...... !!! O.....M......G!!!

Those are the most precious words I could ever hear!! And I can never hear enough... "GOD SENT YOU HERE FOR ME"...and tears came to his eyes.... we talked some more...just about every day stuff... life experiences... etc... I did not preach to OR AT him... I just listened to him, let him know who I was and loved him as much like Jesus would as I possibly could!... THATS IT! GOD DID THE REST. I don't know who was more touched...him or me. His name is Kenny...so please keep brother Kenny in your prayers as God continues to bring him down the path of destiny...

I know...that his life is forever changed through the work of Gods amazing team... my sisters Deb and Connie D'Ambra, and Doug, who work tirelessly... endlessly to feed and love Gods children...and then to just send me in there to add some fuel to that fire... nothing short of AMAZING. See here is the thing about UNITY my Christian friends.... there is NOTHING GREATER than when we come together for the GREATER PURPOSE... to help expand the Kingdom of God! Not to put on the biggest bestest conference...not to have the biggest most up to date church building... not to have the most advertised healings and dramatic stories coming from our pulpets... or to sell tons of books and teachings....NO!! Not even about the GOLD DUST!!!!!!!!!!! sorry...Its about coming together as a MIGHTY ARMY OF HEAVEN to SAVE SOULS....it's about telling a desperate hopeless person that THERE IS HOPE! That there is someone that loves them so much HE DIED FOR THEM! MY God people!!!! If you have ever seen the look on someones face when they realize that God actually does love them....you have HIT THE LOTTERY MY FRIEND! I personally can't get enough of that!

What happened tonight is a classic case of TAG TEAMING THE CITY!!!! lol... See when you are truly united with your sisters and brothers in ministry....and NOT COMPETING... you don't have to do big "things" together.... lol... you don't even have to see eachother ofteN... but the unified spirits working together in a targeted area....MOVE MOUNTAINS!!! I was so honored to be a part of a great work the Lord is doing in this one soul that my sisters have already sown into... just an amazing example of how unity can change a city....even if it is one life at a time... there are enough of us that this should spread life wildfire!

and while I was sitting in the park being used by God...Deb and Doug were down town feeding more homeless people!!!! TAG TEAM AT ITS BEST!!

So blessed to have such amazing sisters and brothers in my life! Thank you Deb, Doug, Connie and all the dedicated warriors in this city!!! God is about to BUST A MOVE LIKE NEVER BEFORE HERE IN PROVIDENCE....IN RI!!!! WOO HOO!
