"And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers. . ."
I Corinthians 12:28 (NKJV)
"Now this man [Philip] had four virgin daughters who were prophetesses."
Acts 21:9 (NASB)
Rev. Barbara Smith, an ordained minister, grew up in the Northeast and attended a denominational church regularly. A kind Christian couple gave her her first Bible. When she was about 8 years old, as she was walking alone to a Good Friday Church Service and reading the portion of Scripture about Jesus on the cross of Calvary, Barbara had an encounter with the Lord. She knew something had dramatically changed on the inside of her.
Several years later Barbara and her family moved to California, where she married Wayne, her husband of over 30 years. Within a few years after they wed, a spiritual stirring started in Wayne's heart and then Barbara's. Soon they were both filled with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit began to operate in her life. She soon began teaching Bible studies and having the Gifts of the Holy Spirit flow thru her. Many have been encouraged, changed, delivered, healed and set free thru the years.
For the previous seven years, the Lord promoted her supernaturally to leadership positions in a world wide Christian organization reaching nearly 170 nations. She served them "faithfully".
Now the Holy Spirit is saying to Barbara "Multitudes, multitudes eating scraps". God has put a burden on her heart to teach the Word of God to the multitudes. The best way is with podcast and radio. People around the world now have access to Barbara's program, Heart to Heart Bible Study, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on podcast and soon radio.
Praise the Lord for all He has done, and is doing, and will continue to do thru this anointed woman of God. Glory to the Lord God Almighty! Hallelujah!
