This book describes a personal vivid--"3D and HD", God-ordained predestination and transformation. In this book, you will have a close-up view of my relationship with God throughout its various stages of development, cultivation and refinement. It is my belief that through my experiences your own individual relationship with our Heavenly Father will be enlivened and enhanced.
Before I was born, God had already established blueprints for my life. Jeremiah 1:5, I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born. I appointed you a prophet to the nations. The Bible declares in Romans 9:11, "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth." Our purposes are identified in Him that calleth.
Becoming the wife of a pastor was definitely not on my radar. However, all the things that I have encountered since my birth to the present day have prepared me for this positon, whether for good, the bad or the ugly. Jeremiah 29:11 confirms, For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
I view this book as a seed to get you focused or steered in the right direction to accept that God has purpose for your life. Now, there is no need for you to invent, create, or ever formulate anything. Just go to the creator!
Author Phyllis Matthews takes you on a unique journey aimed at promoting abundant living in your personal relationship with God. “Growing and maturing must be a deliberate act”; she says. You cannot wake up one morning and say, “Life will be good for me”. You must begin working to accomplish success. Most people, in her opinion, assume things just happen. Yet, God is all-powerful. He can do whatever pleases Him according to Psalm 115:3. But we must become yielded vessels in the hands of God to reach our full potential.
After, accepting Christ as her personal Savior, Phyllis remained stagnant for many years. Living unaware, initiated a major personal “lightbulb moment”. God always desires people to be progressive. God never intended stagnation. Stagnation is marked by a lack of spiritual maturity, growth, and development. In “No Dumb Girls Allowed”, Phyllis exposes her deliverance from a “dumb girl” to maturity. Her intent, through this writing, is that others learn from her mistakes, grow from her ignorance, and ultimately lead Godly lives. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

“Worship Wars”, originated from a heart that genuinely desires to develop stronger and more effective Worship Ministries around the globe. As God revealed His heart, His thoughts, and His mind concerning intricate details of this aspect of ministry, I was honored, that He trusted me with much information. Hopefully, this book helps worship leaders and their teams “win the battle against visible and unseen hindrances to the music ministry”.
During corporate worship, parishioners must be drawn closer to God through singing and music, not the vessels who minister. The Bible declares "sing unto the Lord". Worship Ministries should engage the parishioners, with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit to a heartfelt experience, where they encounter God, as Savior, Lord, Redeemer, Healer, and Deliverer. In other words, Worship Ministries are established to create an environment where the assembly of people may worship God more deeply as they offer themselves to Him. Worship Ministry leaders, and their teams must comprehend the order, sacredness, and seriousness of this ministry. When first we minister to God, He reciprocates directing those in charge on how to effectively minister and meet the needs of His people. It is a privilege to serve the God of all creation. The purpose of the Worship Ministry never changes, and it never should. Selah.
