As I was laying in my living room, slain in the Spirit, the Lord showed me a purple castle,
and it was a puppet stage.
And He said, I'm changing your ministry, and I am sending you to tell little boys and girls
that have been beaten down by the world that they are royalty in my kingdom.
God promises in Joel 2.28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity.
Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promise outpouring, we equip for
that outpouring, so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
I'm Philip Bus.
And I'm Sharon Bus.

So come and join us in some of these other things that we're doing.
And today we have with us, the second time, our friend Debbie Young, who has been a member
for many years.
Thank you so much, Debbie, for being with us again today.
Well, it's good to be here with you, Sharon and Phillip.
Thank you for the opportunity to be here once again.
I've really enjoyed visiting with you, and I would like to continue my story.
We can kind of take up where we left off when I shared my testimony of when I gave my heart
to the Lord.
I had continued on and continued to grow in the Lord, and I was just very eager to do
everything, anything and everything that I could think of that I could do in the kingdom
of God.
We started going to, my husband and I started going to a really small country church, and
in churches like that, they are always in need of workers and teachers.
Of course.
So even though I had not been saved very long at all, just a little over a year, I was put
in charge of an adult Sunday school class.
Oh, my!
And how old were you?
I was still a senior in high school.
I had just turned 18, and my husband had just gotten saved.
Well, in fact, we weren't married at the time.
We were planning to get married that summer, but we were dating and we were both very involved
in the church, and he was in charge of the teen Sunday school class.
So since neither of us had been raised in church, we didn't really know much, and we
did not want to stand before those people and not know what we were talking about.
So we had to dig into the Word, and we had to dig into all kinds of different helps that
we could find.
And you could find us on a Saturday afternoon on a kitchen table with books spread all over
the place as we were studying, trying to prepare for the next morning.
And I was teaching a class that almost everyone in there had been married for years, and they
were much older than myself.
That was how we learned, just digging in the Word like that so that we could be prepared.
We felt like it was Jesus himself asking us to do that for him.
So who were we to say no, that we weren't qualified?
Let me just comment here, Debbie, that in the days to come shortly, as this outpouring
comes in full bloom, shall we say, in full power, there are going to be so many people
that don't know anything, and it's going to require all hands on deck.
Yes, to disciple them.
Yeah, even if you've only been saved a short time.
There are stories of the revivals like in the Hebrides and in Wales, the Welsh Revival,
where somebody gets saved one night, and the next morning they're helping other people
get saved.
Yes.
That's what we can expect in the days to come.
I'm sure it will be.
And the time will be so short that we won't have time to go to Bible colleges and get
all of this behind us before we feel confident enough to stand before people.
But I'll never forget, my husband and I were dating, and they put a sign-up sheet on the
bulletin board of the church for people that would like to help clean the church.
And I was so excited to put my name on that paper, and I couldn't wait until the time
came around where I think we signed up for a month at a time, each person that put their
name on there, they were in charge of keeping the church clean for a month.
Wow.
And Glenn and I went, we were still dating, and we went to the church, and someone told
us how to get in.
And I will never forget standing in the bathroom, cleaning the toilet, and I was weeping at
the joy that I felt of being able to do that for the Lord.
He had done so much for me.
He had so completely changed my life from utter darkness to this radiant light.
Glory to God.
And just to do the tiniest little thing for Him was such a wonderful privilege.
Wow.
And you know, I still feel that way.
Yes, I do too.
I don't think I've lost a bit of that over the years, just the-
Praise God.
The amazing privilege of being able to do something for the Lord, because He's done
so much for us.
Yes, He has.
So my husband and I were married, and we began to raise our family.
We had one little girl that was, I think she was about a year old, and I had been saved
for about six years, I think.
And it was on a Sunday night in our church.
I just felt like I was going to turn inside out with such a yearning and a longing to
do more for the Lord.
And the Holy Spirit put a prayer in my heart that night, and I was standing in a church
with my arms raised, and I asked the Lord to help me to love people more.
And I said, I want to love people with the depth that you love people.
And I remember saying, if you don't answer this prayer, I don't even want to go on living.
It was that much of a longing and a deep yearning, a deep, deep, I can't even describe how deep
that prayer was.
It was like I was turning inside out.
And right when I voiced that prayer, I fell to the floor, and I was carried into another
realm.
Wow.
And I saw Jesus, and He was up above me, and He began talking to me.
And He said that He had called me into a lifetime of ministry for Him, and that would be what
my life would consist of.
That would be at the forefront of everything that I did, everything that I said.
And I said, Yes, Lord, I will.
And He said, But it will not be easy.
And I said, Well, whatever it entails, I will.
I'm willing.
I will do whatever.
And He said, But it will be very hard.
It's kind of Him to give you that warning.
Yes.
And I said, Once again, whatever, Lord, I will answer this call.
I will.
I will go.
I will do.
I will say.
And then one more time, He said three times, there will be obstacles and it will be very
difficult.
And I said, Once again, but Lord, here is my life, and I give it to you.
And when I came back to myself, I was under a church pew, and I don't know how I fell
without hitting my head because I was completely under it.
And I was just totally in another realm.
And that was the first time of many that I was taken into a realm of glory that is beyond
description.
Wow.
And so, I was just in a daze.
And I couldn't stop speaking in tongues.
And my husband got me and my daughter home somehow and went into the house.
For about three days, I just kind of sat in a daze and couldn't really do anything except
speak in tongues.
I was just felt like I was still in the glory.
And right after that, God started opening doors for us to minister.
And we started to be very busy in the kingdom of God.
And most of the doors that He was opening for us had to do with ministry to children.
And I took a position that an area that included 52 churches, and I was in charge of several
things that had to do with children's ministry in that area.
And I began to train people in children's ministry.
Great!
We had another child and then another.
And we were so busy during all that time in ministry.
My husband worked a secular job, but he was always right there by my side, everything
that we needed to do for the kingdom of God.
He was so supportive and would be there to help do anything.
And he was very busy in the ministry, too.
Wow.
He was the one that was keeping the family afloat with his full-time job.
I was doing full-time ministry and trying to have a few little odd jobs on the side
and raise my family.
So we did that for about 20 years.
And along comes the outpouring at the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola.
And we were very busy in ministry and so passionate about what we were doing.
But I felt like there was more.
And we had an opportunity to go with our church to the Brownsville Revival, and it had been
going on for about a year.
And the Lord just totally wrecked me.
He totally ruined me for the ordinary.
And it would take all day to describe all of the things that He did in our lives those
two days that we were there at the Brownsville Revival.
But I will say that when we got back, I began to have these encounters with God every morning
in my living room that would last for hours.
And I would just be transported.
And every day, I would be just taken to another realm.
And I would see, like watching a movie, a dead, dried-looking vine that didn't look
like it had any life in it.
And a well would spring up under the vine, and it would begin to flow.
And that water would flow, and it would make a stream and a brook and then a river.
And that vine would begin to plump up.
And right before my eyes, I could see how that vine would have fruit all over it.
They looked sort of like tomatoes.
But the vine would be so healthy, and it would be covered with fruit.
Glory to God.
And then about a week after we got back from the Brownsville Revival, as I was laying in
my living room, slain in the Spirit, the Lord showed me a purple castle.
And it was a puppet stage.
And He said, I'm changing your ministry.
And I am sending you to tell little boys and girls that had been beaten down by the world
that they are royalty in my kingdom.
And I'm commissioning you to go into the highways and byways and find these precious children
that are so lost and in such a terrible condition.
They desperately need me.
And so, God completely changed our ministry from that moment on.
And I drew the castle, and my husband began to buy the supplies, and he began to make
it.
And it took him several months to make this castle, and he made it exactly like the Lord
showed it to me.
And God said, build it strong, build it sturdy, because it's going to go everywhere.
Wow!
It's going to travel.
So about nine months went by from the first Brownsville trip, and we began to prepare
to go again.
And this time, my husband and I were going to go by ourselves, and we were going to stay
for a week.
Wow!
And so, he began to work overtime so he could put aside some money, and we would be able
to stay for a week.
And he put in for vacation.
And just before we went, we finished the castle, and we launched our new ministry, which the
Lord said to call it King's Kids' Ministry.
And so, we began to have some services in churches with our castle and with our children's
ministry.
And we had been doing children's ministry for decades, but this was a completely new
level.
And the anointing that was in our services was indescribable.
Glory to God!
So we went to Brownsville, and when we got there, they were having their Tuesday prayer
meeting.
And we walked in that building, and there were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
people that were just laying all over the floor everywhere.
Glory to God!
The glory of God was indescribable.
And that began a week of heaven on earth that I would have a hard time describing.
We would get up early every morning, and we would go get in line in front of the church
at about seven every morning.
And the line would already be hundreds of people out in front of the church.
Yeah.
How many?
And every time we were able to get into the main sanctuary, we would meet people from
all over the world and visit with them all day long in the line.
And prayer meetings would be going on, singing would be going on, people would be praying
for one another out in the parking lot and all down the sidewalk.
The services would last till way past midnight every night.
It was just heaven on earth.
And it was building and building all week, and I knew that God had something very, very
special waiting for us before we headed back home.
So we went to the services all week long, and then came Saturday.
And we were in the Saturday evening service.
And at the very end of the service, which the service was just so wonderful, it was
time for prayer.
And I felt led to go to the front.
And it was kind of dangerous to go up to the front because you could fall out and be stacked
three or four people deep because it was there, the press and the crowd, and everybody was
being slain in the spirit.
But it was just glorious.
It didn't hurt or anything if you fell and there were people just laying all over.
But I went down, I got in between a couple of pews and I thought, well, this will be
a little bit safer.
And I had my eyes closed and I felt someone touch my forehead and said a prayer for me.
And I went down, and as soon as I went down, I saw that vine that God had showed me every
single morning for nine months.
Wow!
And He said, I planted the seed for revival in you, and you nurtured it.
You did not abort it, and you fed it, and you cherished it.
And it is time for the full gestation period to be ended, and it's time to bring forth
revival in you.
And right when He said that, I felt like a birth pain, the urge to push, and I screamed
involuntarily.
And I know there were people sitting on the pew that I had rolled under a pew, and there
were people sitting there.
I don't know what they thought.
But I screamed, and it was felt, the exact sensation of giving birth.
And right when that happened, it was like a scroll unrolled, and I saw hundreds of those
vines, and they all had fruit on them.
And the field of vines was surrounded by a hedge, and in the back of the field was an
opening in the hedge, and there was a rainbow over it.
And through that opening was a mighty torrential river that was flowing through that opening,
and up and down every row of fruit.
And I saw hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of fruit on all of those vines.
Wow!
And it was like the Lord took over my mouth, and I was not even knowing what I was saying.
And my mouth was moving, and the Lord had me say, I know that fruit represents souls.
I want to see the souls.
Amen.
And immediately, when my mouth said that, the field was gone, and I was standing on
a grassy slope.
And as far as I could see, were hills of grass, and an angel was beside me.
And I could see people standing all around in groups.
Like there'd be three people here, and four people here, and six people here, and they
all had on white robes that were iridescent.
Wow!
And the grass was swaying in the breeze, but it looked – I could tell it was grass, but
it didn't look like grass on earth.
And I turned to the angel, and I said, why does the grass look different?
And it said, because there are no shadows in heaven.
Amen.
And every blade of grass stood out.
And so, the angel took me by the arm, and we walked up to one group of people, and we
just eavesdropped and listened to their conversation.
And they were talking about how they got there, and it was all because of King's Kids'
ministry.
Wow!
And then we went to another group, and another group, and another group, and every one of
them were talking so excitedly about how they got saved, when they got saved, and what service
it was, and the time of their life that it was.
And so, then I found myself back – I was still in glory, but I found myself back in
another realm on the floor in that church.
And somehow, it was time for everyone to leave.
They would indicate that by start flashing the lights.
And so, everyone knew that it was time to get up off the floor and make their way out.
If they could.
Well, my husband, he said that he kind of kept tabs on me, and he knew where I was,
even though I was on the other side of the church from where we were sitting.
But he saw me go down, I guess.
But he came and he said that he got me off the floor and walked me way out into the parking
lot.
We were parked very far away.
I don't remember any of it.
We got into the car and went clear across town, went upstairs to our room.
I don't recall any of this.
What was happening with me was God said, I have now given you an open heaven, and whatever
you ask, then it will be yours.
And I still didn't have control of my mouth.
I didn't come up with the words to say, but I started talking and praying, and everything
that I was praying was what he wanted me to ask for.
Exactly.
Beautiful.
So I was praying all of these incredible prayers, but the Holy Spirit was praying them through
me.
Exactly.
I remember about three hours later, kind of coming to myself, and I was laying on the
bed fully clothed in the hotel room.
I was just laying there shaking so violently that the whole bed was shaking.
Just before I came back to earth, the Lord gave me that scripture in Hosea.
Believe it's in chapter 10, where it says, to plow the fallow ground, for I'm coming
to rain righteousness.
Amen.
Yeah.
And so that was the only scripture during all of that time that the Lord gave me, but
He said, I'm going to send you back to plow up the fallow ground because I am coming to
rain.
Wow.
So the next morning was Sunday morning, and we went to their regular Sunday morning service.
Most of the people that had come to attend the revival had already gone back.
And I went to the children's services, and my husband went to the regular services so
we could get both perspectives.
And the children were completely in charge of the services.
Their children's pastor preached the message, but they were running the sound.
The cameras, the altars, the prayer, the sweeping the room before the service started of, you
know, just going and intercession in between all of the rows.
All the little children were doing this.
Wow.
And so at the end of the service, I got on my knees so they could reach me, and they
got around me.
And Steve Hill's little boy laid his hands on my forehead, and he said, Lord, let this
lady from Arkansas take this back to all the boys and girls of Arkansas.
Wow.
And I don't remember if I was slain in the Spirit or not, but it was just glory.
It was heaven on earth.
Hallelujah.
Thank you, Father.
And one of the things, one more thing I'll share about what happened that week.
One of the days, during the day, we would get people to hold our place in line, and
then we would go and we would attend teaching like Michael Brown, Dr. Michael Brown was
there teaching and different ones were teaching.
And one of the days we were able to take a tour of the campus.
And as our tour group were walking up and down the halls and getting into all the rooms,
we went into their media room, and they had a huge cabinet.
And they said that inside that cabinet was, back then it was VHS tapes, because this was
in the 90s.
They said that every service of the revival had been documented and it was on videos.
And every video was in those cabinets.
And right when they said that, they opened the cabinets and a wind whooshed out of the
cabinets and knocked us all backwards.
Oh, glory to God.
Isn't that amazing?
Oh, it's just another sign of what happens in an outpouring.
And that's only a seed form of what's coming.
Yeah.
Yes.
You know, we were having our conventions, our world conventions, and our youth, because
we would have a youth, you know, at the same time, they were getting so drunk in the spirit,
you know, because they were, you know, because at the same time, we were kind of, you know,
locked into Toronto.
Yes.
What was happening in Toronto.
Yeah.
We never got to Pensacola, you know, because we would go to Israel.
Yes.
And, you know, quite a bit, they had our suitcases, we put our rollerboards in the lockers and
take our tanks.
Yeah, because we were flying through Toronto.
We were flying to Toronto to Israel.
And we would take 10 minutes to get to the airport.
Church.
The church there and get back after the worship, and then you get on the plane and go to Israel.
Wow.
And we had a lot of trips we took to Toronto.
But the youth in our convention, they got so drunk, they were taking them up to their
rooms, you know, they had them write their room numbers on the back of their badge.
And they were so drunk, they take them up in wheelchairs and luggage cards.
And if there's nobody in the room, they just plop them on the floor and leave them there.
Yes.
It was an astounding move.
Yes.
Going through our Bible school at the same time here at Ingletaw, it was, we've never
seen anything like that since, but it's coming.
It is.
Coming again.
It's coming more so.
Much greater.
Yeah.
Well, right after we got back, I had heard of the end time handmaidens and servants.
And I'm so privileged and blessed that we just lived down the road about an hour from
your headquarters.
And so, we began to kind of make connection and really felt like we were called to be
a part of your ministry.
And about that time, we were having weekly prayer meetings in the River Valley because
God was moving so powerfully.
We just didn't know what to do with all of it.
So you just want to…
Okay, explain what is the River Valley, because our listeners probably wouldn't know that.
Okay.
So, we live kind of in the center of Arkansas, the state of Arkansas.
And there's a mountain range in the northern part from where we live.
And that's the Ozark Mountains.
And then, yes.
And I live in the area where the Arkansas River kind of cuts through the state and it
divides the state with two mountain ranges.
The one that is in the southern part of the river is the Ouachita.
So we live in what's called the Arkansas River Valley.
And so…
And it runs clear across the state, right?
Yes.
And it kind of goes down a little ways.
But where we live, it's right through the middle, really close to Interstate 40.
And I live right in the middle between Fort Smith and Little Rock.
There you go.
But there were so many of us that God was dealing with and we just…
Just going to church regular services wasn't enough.
So we would get together and have prayer meetings.
Some churches were having prayer meetings every day.
God was moving so mightily.
So we got connected with the Entombed Handmaidens and Servants and we started a chapter in our
area.
And we started feeling like God was commissioning us to go on prayer journeys and redeem the
land and to just go and do whatever He had asked us to do.
And so, while all of that was going on, I had this purple castle and God had commissioned
us to find little boys and girls that needed to know that they were royalty in His kingdom.
So I ended up getting hired by a church to be on their staff and I was their children's
pastor.
And we had a huge bus ministry.
At one time, we had five buses.
Wow!
And we would spend Saturdays going knocking on doors.
Back then, you could do that.
Nowadays, it's not safe to do that.
We would spend hours with our clipboards in our hands and we would sign up little boys
and girls and we would pick them up the next Sunday morning and bring them to church and
we would minister to them.
And at the same time, we would – my husband and I and my children would go from church
to church and we were holding children's revivals all over the river valley and we
would have four-night – they called them kids' crusades, but they were really children's
revivals.
Yes.
And we would experience what you are describing, how the kids would be so filled with the Holy
Spirit they couldn't even walk.
We would have vacation Bible schools and we would have to carry the kids and put them
on the buses.
Wow!
And we were so overwhelmed with the presence of God.
Glory to God!
We were bussing in on Sunday mornings.
We were bussing in sometimes way over a hundred kids and then we also ministered to the children
that their families attended church there.
But we would bring anybody to church that wanted to come and we felt like even though
they were having to go back into those environments that were very difficult, we felt like we
were sowing seeds of God's Word in their hearts and that He would protect that seed.
We would pray every morning before we sent the buses out, Lord, protect the seeds of
Your Word and let it bring forth a harvest in these children.
And we would go into the darkest parts of the area that the children we knew desperately
needed to hear about Jesus, if you know what I mean.
We would go down long country roads and at the end of the road, you didn't know if you
were going to find a meth lab, marijuana patches, attack dogs, but we would go because we wanted
to rescue every single child in our area and tell them about Jesus.
And we did this for years and years.
Glory to God!
We weren't just ministering to children.
We were doing training and I was preaching in churches whenever I'd get the opportunity.
And then we were going on these prayer journeys on Tuesday nights.
Well, we wanted for the Lord to do just what He was doing in Pensacola.
We wanted that to happen in the River Valley.
And we thought it was imminent.
We thought that it was going to happen very quickly.
And so, to prepare the River Valley for this, we felt commissioned of the Lord to, He showed
us exactly what to pray.
We had about eight points to pray and we wrote them all down.
And the Lord commissioned us to drive a vanload of prayer wires into the parking lot of every
single church in the River Valley and to pray this eight-point prayer.
And it was all for revival.
And so, that first night that we went, we left at about seven o'clock in the evening
and we didn't get finished until about three in the morning.
And we were hoarse because every parking lot we would drive into, the prayer would reach
a crescendo.
It was deafening in the van and interceding for that church.
And so, that night we visited 40-something churches and we decided that it was way too
big a job to do in one night.
So, the next meeting that we had in our branch meeting of the end-time handmaidens and servants,
we got a map and we looked up every church in a radius of what we kind of felt like the
radius that the Lord gave us.
It included towns, outlying towns pretty far away, but it ended up being almost 140 churches.
And so, we kind of divided ourselves up and we commissioned each group to go to their
area that we had commissioned them to go to and to pray this prayer.
And what we felt like we were doing in our prayer meeting where God gave us the mandate
to do this, He said, make this valley full of ditches.
Mm-hmm.
Is that scripture?
And so, yes.
Not everybody knows that scripture.
When we set out in the van, we asked the Lord to establish a big road crater on the front
of the van.
And as we drove through the river valley to each church, we were digging a ditch in the
spirit realm to connect each church so that when the rain comes, every church is going
to be connected with these ditches that we dug.
Beautiful.
Amen.
In the spirit.
So, yes, in the spirit realm.
Yeah.
Yes.
And so, that was something that we did, I believe it was in 1999.
Wow.
And we thought that it was imminent.
We thought that it was going to happen then.
But what God had sent us back from Brownsville to do was to plow up the fallow ground.
And I didn't realize it was going to be about 25 years of plowing.
Wow.
But the years went by, and we continued very, very intently in our children's ministry with
our children's revivals and our children's pastoring and our bus ministry.
And one morning, I was still having these incredible times of prayer in my living room.
And one morning, I got caught up in the spirit, I found myself walking around my living room
in a circle very quickly, and my hands, God was taking my hands all the way down to the
floor and bringing my hands up in an embrace.
And I was doing this and speaking in tongues as I was praying.
And I did this for about 10 minutes with my hands all the way to the floor, bringing them
up to hug my arms like hugging myself, and back down and up again and back down and up
again.
And when that was over, I was slain in the spirit in my living room.
And I said, Lord, what was I doing?
And He said, I'm going to send you to find little boys and girls that have been beaten
so low, and I'm going to use you to scoop them up and bring them up to my embrace.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
And I wrote all that down in my journal, and then I went on my merry way because I was
busy as I could be in full-time ministry.
And Sharon, I went in 2001, I went to Springfield, Missouri to a children's pastors conference,
and there were people there from all over the world.
There were hundreds of people there.
And I was walking around between services and a booth.
And I had booths set up for all these vendors and people that sold puppets and object lessons
and had ministries.
And I passed a booth that was all decked out in purple and gold, and it had a little royal
guy with an oversized robe.
And I thought, that's just like our ministry because our colors were purple and gold and
royal and everything we did was royal.
And so, I picked up some pamphlets and I found out they were going to have a teaching
session the next day, a workshop.
And so, I went to the workshop and I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
God did.
And I found out, yes, that this was a ministry that started in California and it had spread
all over the world.
Wow.
And it was called Royal Family Kids Camps.
And it was a camp for foster children.
It was a spirit-based camp and they did it in such a way that they got permission from
DCFS, DHS, to host it for these children.
And they researched on how to do it to where they could teach these children Bible curriculum
and not cross any boundaries and they could do it legally.
Glory to God.
And so, I was sitting there in that little room listening to this man from California
describe this and I could hear every word he was saying.
And at the same time, God was shouting at me and I thought everybody in the room could
hear God because He was shouting so loud.
And I was crying buckets and buckets of tears.
And I was making a spectacle of myself.
But He said, this is what I've called you to do.
Everything that you've done in your life has led up to this point.
Wow.
And I got all the information I could and I went back to my home church and I talked
to my pastor and he said, we can do this.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
God bless a pastor like that.
Yeah.
Yes.
He had a heart for hurting children.
And I went to the board and presented it to the church board and they said, we're going
to send you to the training.
So my husband and I and another lady went to North Carolina to a camp in progress that
next summer.
And we spent a whole week there and we learned all day long.
We were in classroom for eight hours every day.
And then we observed the camp in progress and we came back to the Arkansas River Valley.
There were no camps like this in the state of Arkansas.
So we went to DHS, presented it to them.
And at first they said, there's no way you're going to do this.
By God.
These are our kids and you don't know what you're doing.
And God led us through a troop and we leapt over a wall.
We leaped over a wall and he led us to the right people.
Those people that said no were the leaders of our county and God led us to their supervisor.
And she was a spirit filled, born again Christian.
Glory to God.
She's a Debbia.
Amen.
I heard of this camp years ago and I've been praying that it would come to Arkansas.
Oh, hallelujah.
So we began to raise the funds and we got our camp facility and we trained our people.
And that was 20 years ago.
And we've been having this camp every summer ever since then except the year of COVID.
And we had a virtual camp that year.
And every year we invite every foster child from our area that wants to come between the
ages that can be there.
And they have the most glorious time of their lives.
And all of the wonderful services I've ever been to, I've never felt the presence of God
like I have at that camp.
Because there's nothing closer to God's heart than a hurting child.
And these kids, some of them have grown up and they have joined our staff.
Glory to God.
And it has just been the most incredible thing.
I'm not the camp director anymore because there's so much to it that I had to hand that
baton to a younger couple.
My husband and I were the camp directors for many years.
That's awesome.
And so now I still have this heart for the hurting.
And about seven years ago, I began to go into the county jail and minister to these ladies
because most of these ladies in our county jail would have been royal family kids, but
we didn't get to them in time.
They had hurting hearts when they were children.
Some of them had been abused and all kinds of things happened to them.
And they've ended up in the county detention center.
And God is showing us in such a mighty way how He cares for those ladies.
They're so precious to Him.
Glory to God.
So every week we're going into the jail and ministering to the ladies.
So now as I'm getting older and we've stopped moving that big heavy castle around, I call
it the castle hassle because we packed that in the back of our truck probably at least
150 times.
And it was heavy and sturdy.
Glenn built it to go everywhere, like the Lord said.
So now I find myself writing books.
Yes.
You've written several children's books.
Ministering.
Yes.
And I'm, if the Lord tarries, I hope to write several more.
And I have several more books in my heart for adults.
And we're just enjoying slowing down a little bit.
I took care of my mom for five years.
And that brings us to today.
And I believe that we are about to see that rain take place that God spoke to me in that
hotel room in Pensacola, Florida, when He said,
"'Low up my fallow ground, for I am coming to send the rain.'"
Amen.
You know, I think it's fascinating.
I meet people and take note of their name and how it fits their calling.
And here you are, Debbie Young.
And you've been ministering to the young.
Yes.
And I believe it's really kept you young.
And He's going to renew your youth so that you can have the full strength of everything
that you need to do everything that He has for you to yet do.
So tell us how people can get your books.
Oh, okay.
They're all on Amazon.
They can order them through Amazon, or they can contact me on Facebook.
I have a Facebook site that describes all of the books, and there's pictures of them.
Yeah.
Tell us about what that is.
I think it's King's Kids Corner is my Facebook site.
All of the books are there, and they can get information on how to order them.
And I could mail them directly, or they can get them all from Amazon.
But I've written, my first book was Realms of Glory, where I describe some of the encounters
that I've had with the Lord in glorious realms.
Yes, yes.
You've read some of that to me, and I can hardly wait to get more of that.
And I think we might have to have you back one more time to talk about that.
I would love that, Sharon.
Yeah, I think we definitely need to do that.
My second book is There is a River.
And the first section of the book is a message, The Lord woke me up in the middle of the night
in, I believe, 1997 and downloaded a powerful message about what happens to us when we get
into the river of God.
And so, the first third of the book is that message that He gave me that night.
I couldn't even write fast enough.
The Holy Spirit was just downloading it on paper.
And I've preached it many times in several churches.
And then the middle section is all the prayer journeys that God took us on when we were
doing our end-time handmaidens and servants branch meetings.
And by the way, that is the original name of this ministry, Global Outpouring.
Yes.
So, we're still operating under the name end-time handmaidens.
Yes.
Well, we went on several prayer journeys to plow up the fallow ground in the river valley
and to redeem the land.
And so, most of those prayer journeys are written in that section.
And then the third section of the book, the Lord asked me to go all over the river valley
and interview people that were prophetic and that I knew that God had spoken to them about
the coming revival.
And I interviewed them and I wrote all of that out in the third section of the book.
And then I had a conclusion to the book.
So, the book is called, There is a River Preparing for the Coming Outpouring Revival and Harvest
in the Arkansas River Valley.
Amen.
And I've sold hundreds of these.
I've given away hundreds of them.
There are thousands of them out there.
Wonderful.
And we're going to get a booth in the next festival that goes on in our town.
And we're going to get stacks of them and just give them away.
Wonderful.
To everybody that passes by.
Amen.
And I still promise to read them.
That is tremendous.
And then I have written three children's books because we're too old to do our children's
ministry revivals anymore.
So I'm taking some of my favorite children's messages and I'm turning them into book form.
And you illustrate them yourself.
Yes, ma'am.
I like them.
Except one of them was illustrated by our daughter who's a photographer.
Yes, that one is all photographs.
But the ones that are illustrated by, you know, with a hand drawn, you've done them
and they're very good.
Thank you.
Not everybody who attempts to illustrate does a good job, but you have.
Thank you.
You've done a tremendous job.
And I'm very impressed with what you've got here.
And we're really looking forward to the time when we can go deeper into your heavenly experiences.
Oh, yes.
I'm looking forward to that too.
Okay.
Well, would you please pray for our listeners because I feel like there has been a stirring
in some hearts about ministering to children, you know, and contending.
You have been a major contender for the outpouring in the River Valley.
And you know, so your book, There is a River, is like a handbook in a way for giving people
a vision for how to contend in their area.
So I really encourage people to get that book.
It's powerful.
That's funny that you should say that because I've had at least two groups of people that
have contacted me and said, we're using your book as a handbook.
There you go.
And a training guide on how to do prayer journeys and redeem the land and plow up the fallow
ground.
Good.
And I do feel like that is the case.
And recently I was in a revival service and I was asking the Lord.
I was saying, Lord, please send this, please send this revival.
You've got to.
We're so desperate.
How's it going to happen?
How are you going to do this?
And he said, go read your book.
Glory to God.
He said, it's going to happen exactly like I told you it's going to happen.
And you wrote it down exactly like I told you to.
Yes.
There's something about prophecy and I heard it explained recently that it's rather like
standing on a mountain and looking across to other mountains.
And sometimes you'll find that the valleys get filled with clouds and fog.
And you don't really know how far away that is.
How far away that word of the Lord is that has been given to you.
And we always think it's going to happen to this afternoon or tomorrow or next week.
Yeah.
And the time drags on.
And the devil hopes that we'll get discouraged and quit contending.
Well, that'll come back on his head because that's not even in our vocabulary.
Amen.
But I just want to encourage people that you have a word from the Lord for your life, just
like Debbie got a word from God for her life.
And you know, Phillip and I have had words over our lives.
And we scratch our head and wonder when is this going to happen?
Yes.
But it's going to happen just as surely.
I mean, Isaiah prophesied hundreds of years before the Messiah came the first time.
And He is yet to come the second time.
And it's over 2000 years or about 2000 years since He came the first time.
And with, you know, the people in Paul's time, we're expecting at any moment.
Amen.
And we're still in expectation.
But it is coming.
Don't give up.
When it is coming, you're just going to keep pressing forward.
And whether we see it, whether we see the things that we're expecting to see in our
lifetime or whether it's going to be in our children's lifetime or five generations down
the road, I don't think it'll be that long.
But, you know, just in case it goes on and on and on, just know it is going to happen.
A promise of God is going to happen.
As long as we are staying with our minds on Him in expectation, we will not fail to see
it one way or another.
Just expect it.
Amen.
Debbie, would you pray for our listeners?
Yes.
I want to say one quick thing first about children's ministry.
Sure.
Go ahead.
I feel like children's ministry is not a step down, but it is a promotion.
Absolutely.
When you are commissioned to teach children, you are rescuing people that have their whole
life ahead of them.
I think it was Charles Spurgeon that went to revival service, and when he got back,
they said, how many were saved?
He said, two and a half.
They said, what do you mean?
He said, well, two children got saved, and the other one have already lived half of their
lives.
Oh my!
We would have our children's services on Sunday mornings, and God would move so powerfully.
I would have people come into our facility, and they would say, boy, you really missed
it.
We had a powerful service.
I said, how do you know you didn't miss it?
There you go.
We had a powerful service.
God can move just as mightily in the children's services.
I want to encourage anyone that you feel like you've been kind of pushed aside and you're
just there to babysit, you can have powerful services with those children.
Every bit are even more powerful than any adult service ever even thought about having.
God longs to pour out His Spirit among the children and to use them in prophecy and all
of the nine gifts.
He can do it, and He is doing it, and He will do it through you.
Yes, absolutely.
So let's pray.
Lord, we just come to you this morning and ask you, Father God, that whoever's listening
to this, we just pray that you would be an encouragement to them.
Perhaps they've been in children's ministry for years, and they just kind of felt like
they were shoved to the back, and that while everybody else has church and they're just
there to babysit.
I pray, Lord, that you would build a fire in their hearts and set them on fire for what
you've called them to do and commissioned them to do.
This is a higher calling to reach the next generation and to reach these children, and
they don't have to wait until they're grown up to be used mightily of God.
In fact, God, I feel like you're going to sweep through the children and the youth first,
and you're going to anoint them, and you're going to have little children to come up,
and they can't even reach a person's forehead.
So they're going to lay their hands on their bellies, and they're going to prophesy over
them.
They're going to lay hands on men and women that are going to be healed mightily, and
they're going to be filled with the Spirit that's going to take these leaders that you've
called to teach these children and to disciple the children and to rescue little boys and
girls that have been beaten down by the world and they've been lost by the wayside.
It's like nobody cares about them, and nobody wants to pour the Word of God into them, but
you're going to commission people to go out into the highways and the byways, and you're
going to help them to bring these children in, people that are hurting, people that are
bound.
Yes.
I pray, God, that you would commission people even this day as these people listen to this,
that you're calling them, and they kind of had a hint and kind of knew that you had called
them, but right now you are giving them that unction and that Holy Spirit fire that's burning
in them, and you're sending them forth in Jesus' mighty name.
Amen.
