Dorothy Mattingly's Newly Released "Messages From God" Is an Uplifting Collection of Day-To-Day Messages That Strengthens a Weary Christian Heart

MEADVILLE, Pa., April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Messages From God": a powerful and comforting thread of advices or messages that makes one remember God's presence. "Messages From God" is the creation of published author Dorothy Mattingly, a resident in a small town in southern Indiana and a member of an Assembly of God Church.

Mattingly shares her testimony, "I've been a Christian for over twenty-five years, visited other churches and participated in praise and worship. I am a member of Trinity Assembly of God and served in many capacities including serving as a board member, helping others in need, also giving time and personal finances and possessions to those less fortunate than myself, attending church services sitting quietly in the pew three times a week or more during times of revival. I have worked about thirty to forty years cleaning houses, offices, churches, and funeral homes. After retirement, I started having breathing problems around home and decided to see my doctor. One visit lead to a referral to other doctors and a lot of tests. After all the tests, the diagnosis was restricted lung disease which means my lungs don't produce oxygen for the actions of my body. I am now on oxygen 24/7. After some research online, I discovered there is no cure or medicine that will heal me other than a lung transplant or a miracle. I'm praying for that miracle. Like any life-threatening disease, the actual effects didn't sink in until one night while lying in bed trying to go to sleep; I was praying and crying out to the Lord. I was asking him, 'If I take my last breath tonight and come to heaven, what would you say to me?'

The Lord said, 'I know you not.' But I reminded the Lord of all the good things I had done in his name, all the people I had personally helped even taking money from my wallet to give to others. I said, 'Lord, I've helped people to pay their utilities bills. Lord, you knew me before I was born.' Again he said, 'I know you not.'

I was devastated and hurt. The next morning when I looked in the dictionary for the meaning of to know, I found three meanings. Everyone understands what the word means. What the Lord wanted me to understand is this: All the years of reading and studying the Holy Bible, I knew of him, about him, but did not know him. So this is why he said he didn't know me because I didn't have a relationship with him. So deciding to rectify the situation, I decided to start spending time with the Lord. Every morning for the last three years, I have been spending quality time with the Lord in worship, devotions, prayer, and Bible study. Then the Lord started giving me messages for all people. At first, they were sentences and then paragraphs and finally entire messages. The Lord has been gracious enough to give me hundreds of messages and warnings for his people. I've learned from all the messages that the main point the Lord wanted from his people is for them to get and develop a closer relationship with him in these last days. Also, some of the messages are meant to teach and help individuals to live a righteous life in these perilous times. He is concerned for those that are lost. It's my desire that these precious words from God will help, encourage, and enlighten all people from all nations.

His faithful servant,
Dorothy Mattingly"
