Welcome to Prepare, a blog for Dianne Thomas Ministries
Our purpose for this blog is to share with others what God has shared with us, especially regarding how to fulfill God’s three-fold purpose for us today:
- To Be Fully Healed and Made Whole in Spirit, Soul and Body
- To Cooperate with God as He exposes our Flesh, and Consumes It
- To Know God Intimately on His Terms, Spirit to Spirit
We all need to be able to experientially recognize, test and act on what the Spirit is saying to us as individuals, so much of what we will be addressing on this blog and through the call-in internet radio program will be geared toward building confidence in our ability to hear His voice through practical exercises and conversation. We will be discussing a wide range of topics, from relationships, finances and politics to entertainment, fashion and humor, as real world examples of how we can know God’s voice in every situation.
Our approach to fulfilling the above purposes is likely different from what you have encountered elsewhere. The three books in “The Eternal Life Series”: Practical Christianity, Getting Healed & Knowing God, were written as a foundation for an on-going discussion of the simplicity of knowing God now. We will be building upon what is written in these books, so it is helpful to be familiar with their contents. If you have not been receiving the newsletters, or need a refresher, the books can be purchased here or under Resources above.
We continue to look for ways to use every available venue as the Lord directs. The Prepare blog is just one aspect of the fulfillment of His present direction. Future plans for expanding our outreach will be posted here and through “A Bit of Grace” Newsletter. If you have not already signed up for the newsletter you can do so here. We will also be installing FeedBurner on this site, so that entries can be automatically emailed to subscribers on a daily basis. “A Bit of Grace” Newsletters will also be posted on this blog.
Healing
We fully expect the Lord to heal both physically and emotionally through this ministry. For all of our sakes, we have arranged with the Lord that He will never ask for a “test of faith” in order to receive a healing. This is especially true in the area of seeking or sustaining medical supervision or medications. Instead we will together seek His direction in conjunction with whatever medical supervision is being given in order to achieve His desired outcome.
Registration
Only registered Prepare users can leave comments on this site. Registration is now open and you can sign up here. We reserve the right to close registration at any time and to deny registration as necessary.
Comments
Please, no religious jargon. Put your thoughts, questions, comments and feedback in your own words. Yes, this means restricting scripture references and quoting of other’s ideas or words. What is the Lord saying to YOU?
Additional Guidelines and Policies will be posted as necessary.
Welcome to Prepare — make yourself at home,

Hi Special; WordPress — the only reason you would need to know anything more about wordpress is if you want to start your own blog
Since you’ve registered, you are free to post comments. The author of the blog, in this case, me, is the only one who can post an article. We will, however, be posting what’s called an “Open Post” so that any topic can be introduced for discussion. I’m still working on the back-end of the blog (hopefully finish in the next couple of days) and then we should be up and running full-bore, and then soon have the internet radio program up and running as well.
Don’t hesitate to send any questions you may have, whether technical or otherwise…
Good to have you here!

Hi,
Wanted to get started here today.. I have been reading evrything and don’t understand the WordPress thing. Should I download it in order to participate, post blogs? It is new to me.
I want to publically thank my wonderful Father for sending you to me Dianne. I had a need and he knew it. He provided before I was even aware that he had done so… it gives me chill bumps !
As I work thru my own healing with Him, I hope to learn from others who are doing that as well.

TO 2 & 3. Candacre: Glad you’re enjoying the newsletter. I came up with this view of spirituality through Daddy revealing it over time, then testing it myself. I expect over time we will get to the bottom of what is causing the fear and depression, both very common in faithful believers today. As our wounds are healed, we grow in our confidence that we are hearing His voice in whatever situation we are in, and are open to His speaking in a variety of ways. He loves to hear us say, “Daddy, what are we going to do today?”

I find that I know God most intimately wehn he communicates to me through coincidenes and acts of serendipity. It is then that I think I am on the right path.

I have found the newsletter illuminating. I find that I am healing to others and not to myself. I have depression and I overeat. Fear is my biggest enemy. I would be interested in knowing how you came up with this view of spirituality. I resonate with it.
