From May 15 to May 18, Life Changing Transformation Church Ministries (LCTCM) held its annual Women’s Revival. Each day the church welcomed a different pastor to lead their services in honor of such a storied tradition at the church. On May 17, Elder Pamela Ferrell of Mt. Able Pentecost Holiness Church was welcomed, and she did not disappoint.

Ferrell preached her initial sermon on Sept. 9, 2002. She has a passion for feeding and clothing the homeless. She also started My Brother’s Keeper Ministry at Mt. Able, where many souls have been saved, bodies have been healed and doors opened for those in need of housing.

Life Changing Transformation Church has been holding its women’s revival for the past 15 years. Pastor Alice Mitchell, senior pastor of LCTCM, says she usually has a theme, but felt this year she would just “let God rise and let the enemy scatter.”

Mitchell marveled at the words delivered by the guest pastors throughout the revival. She feels it’s time for the women to come together in the church and the revival is a perfect way to galvanize the women of the congregation.

“We have so many women that are just dying inside because they have nothing to push or pull on when it comes to the spiritual things that God has placed in us as a woman to learn how to live and not die,” Mitchell said.

“Tonight my sister [Ferrell] has come back with us to let us know you have to be strong in the Lord,” she went on to say. “We can’t be caught up in every whim, doctrine but just to learn how to trust in the Lord with all of our hearts.”

Ferrell says her message was inspired by the Lord because he delivered her from the streets. She stated she was addicted to drugs but has been clean for the past 20 years by “the Word of God.”

“My message was inspired by the spirit of the Lord when he led me to tell my people they don’t have to live in bondage and that they can be set free through the Word,” said Ferrell. “God deals with the heart of man and also the battlefield is in our minds, so it is within our minds the enemy attacks a person that leads them to that way.”

“Once you are transformed through the Word of God, the enemy can’t drag you and make a yo-yo out of you because you can stand up on the Word of God. It is important that we stick together as women and encourage one another because women wear different hats but the Word gives us that breath of freedom that we need to keep going.”

Mitchell stated the church will continue to hold a revival every year to help the women regain their focus.

“We have to come together and learn how to love one another, support one another and stop being intimidated,” Mitchell said.
