You can really it's so awesome to have an opportunity to meet a
like minded woman who, when we know who we are in Jesus. And when
we know who Jesus is in us. Everything changes. Everything changes.
Everyone comes from somewhere, every woman has been through
something. And Jesus Christ will use every minute of what you and I
have endured for His glory, when we give it to him. You are so
right and fusions 210 is true that we were created to do do do you
work for him that if you're a woman, and you have breath in your
lungs, you are created to do right, what you're doing look alike
will be unique to you. There's no other you in all the world,
there's only one you and you were strategically placed in history,
and in this nation and abroad for his
Kimberly Hobbs
moment of time, right? For such a time as this. He's used your life
ladies to create you for such a time as this. So
Kim Meeder
and oftentimes women think that the focus bends inward in that Oh,
but you don't know me you don't know my circumstances you don't
know my past. You don't know where I'm from. You don't know, the
pain that I've endured. And the bottom line is, that is true. But I
serve the one who does and if you call yourself by Jesus beautiful
name, he does know. All of our journeys are so unique and separate.
And Jesus will heal and redeem and fill and lead every day of what
you have endured and survived. Some journeys look like this. I came
to know the truth of Jesus Christ at a very young age. I was nine
years old and at nine years of age, I would look at my mom and
think, oh my goodness, I want to grow up and be just like her and
my dad was this wild child of the wilderness and he was a downhill
ski instructor on a VA Okay, no and the Pacific Northwest and in in
my mind, there was nothing that he couldn't do and in the poor cape
and flew, and, and I grew up in the castle of their combined love.
And it was during that season of time that my dad's best friend
came to my little grade school and picked me up and put me in the
backseat of his car. And he gathered my two older sisters, I'm the
youngest of three girls. And he wouldn't speak to us. And I just
had that choking feeling that something terrible has happened, and
no one will tell me what it is, no one will speak. And we just
started to drive in silence this very familiar road out to my
grandparents house and, and I felt like I was choking. And I looked
at my oldest sister who was sitting next to me. And without words,
she was just streaming silent tears. And she knew too. And we drove
down the long driveway to my grandparents home, and there were cars
parked all over. And, and for the first time in my young life, I
did not want to go into a home where I only ever felt love. Because
I was afraid. And I'm taken by my shoulders and just pushed into
this home. And it was full of all these breathing, wailing people
and, and just to hear grief, rising and mixing in this room. And I
was pushed into the arms of a woman that I recognized. I didn't
know her name, and she was crying so hard. She could almost not
speak. And she just kept going around and around and this
nauseating cycle of I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know
what to say. I don't know what to say. I don't know how to tell you
this. I'm so sorry. And I'm just leaning away from her thinking
whatever you're about to say, I don't want to hear it. And finally
she said, I don't know how to tell you that your dad has just
murdered your mother. And he's taking his own life. And I'm sorry.
I know. You're thinking you're a liar. My dad loves my mom, and he
loves me, he would never do that lie er. And I just pushed off her
chest and ran out the back door in this nine year olds effort to
outrun the unthinkable and just ran and ran and ran until there was
nothing left and and it wasn't even a far distance. And I remember
I had been running through an orchard and the ground had been
plowed. And I just fell down in the dirt. And I was inhaling dirt
and gagging and choking and retching and screaming. And then I
could hear what I thought were animal sounds. And I didn't even
recognize the sound of my own voice. And I could hear myself
saying, Jesus helped me. Jesus helped me I need you now. And
Kimberly, I didn't even know who Jesus was. In the church, I think
I'd been to church twice in my life. And all I knew about Jesus is
I think he might be the guy on the cross. And wow, I didn't know
the power of God's word were in Romans chapter one, it declares
that every one intuitively knows God through what he's made. It
doesn't matter who you are, how you were raised to believe what
culture you're from what religion you were taught, when your heart
is being crushed by pain, we know intuitively to turn to the one
who made that heart, because we know on some level that he is the
only one who can heal and redeem it. I did not know the power of
verses like Romans 1013 that say, every one, everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved in that moment, is that there
was a poem in my heart of hope. And a little flame of hope ignited
the moment that I said His name..
Kimberly Hobbs
His name, the power in the name of Jesus
Kim Meeder
Yes..Jesus, will you help me and all I knew is in that moment, I
knew that I was not alone anymore. And something had started in
this heart that said, everything's gonna be alright. You will
survive, you will survive. Beginning of knowing and coming face to
face with Jesus Christ in the midst of unspeakable violence and
tragedy. And in Jesus His Word is true in in Psalms 23, he calls us
to walk through that valley of the shadow of darkness. He doesn't
tell us to camp out and live there. Right Galatians five one
declares it is for freedom, freedom that Jesus Christ has set us
free, that when Jesus Christ left heaven, he came to this earth, He
lived a perfect life, he laid that life down in my place. And when
he rose again, he broke the lock on the prison door of suffering
and sin and that door can never be locked again. And it's a fact
that we're all going to spend time in that place of suffering and
pain. And men listening today are there right now. And sisters, I'm
telling you right now that that prison that you think you're locked
in, it only has three doors, that door can never be shut again.
That's right need to do is reach for the hand of hope that has
always been reaching for you and step out into the freedom that
already purchased for you. Boom, Jesus love wins every time!
Kimberly Hobbs
Yes, every time. And ladies, I just want to say this excitement and
enthusiasm and Kim's voice right now. Oh, my goodness bless is
because Jesus reached in at that moment, and he saw her in her
place of need, he will see you in your place of yes, all in the
power of the name of Jesus, he comes, ladies, it doesn't matter
what you're going through or what you've done. You call on the name
of the Lord Jesus, and He will be there. And ladies, this is
probably we didn't know how this interview was going to open up. We
just said, Lord, you're going to take over. And you know, to start
off with something so tragic and painful. As cam I can't even I
can't even imagine somebody that was your world, your parents, you
loved your mom, you talked about how your mom taught you, you how
to do things, to make blankets and amazing things. And you talk
about how your dad was that influence and taught you things about
the wilderness. You know, all of a sudden, they're gone. They're
gone out of your life. And it's such you're an orphan at such a
young age, but God, but God, and from the moment, the moment that
you were conceived, he knew you he knew what you what your life was
going to become. And I haven't even started into this interview yet
to tell you how God is using this life that called upon his name
and a moment of weakness and a moment of pain and a moment of
tragedy in her life. She called out to the one and only person that
could save her that could rescue her from what she was going
through. And boy he did. And boy, does she have a voice in this
world now and what she is using that pain and tragedy from that has
now just I just have to tell you what this woman is doing. She has
authored now, I think seven books is that right? Kim? Six, almost
seven, six, almost seven, She's halfway through her seventh book.
She is an author that speaks that speaks God has led her to speak
around the world. She is she's opened up a ranch, I'm gonna let her
tell you about this, but where she can share these stories about
her life and identify with broken hurting children who have no hope
in their life. And she can bring them hope now because she was
rescued by the one and only that could help change her life
forever. So we have a woman here that is going to judge to share
from her heart. What she does best. I tell you this book that she
read, wrote, I don't know let me see. Encountering our wild God is
sharing stories from her heart life stories that will impact the
reader of how to encounter our wild God from things she has
experienced in her life. And ladies, I'm telling you this book is
incredible. And if if I can recommend any book that it's this one
right here, I couldn't put it down when I started reading. I
seriously read this book and three days and I don't have a lot of
time, but I just couldn't put it down. So Kim, we need to talk
about some of these things that God has done in your life how he
has opened your life to do now ministering to broken hurting
children on a ranch that you live in Oregon Bend Oregon. And she
has opened up 200 ranches all over the world. Right because of the
one ranch that you guys are running right now for our Lord Jesus
Christ. Yeah,
Kim Meeder
This is what Jesus can do with pain that is given to him. And
here's what I want women to hear today is that Jesus Christ, your
journey, your unique journey is unique to you. And He will heal and
transform every day of what you have walked through and use it for
His glory. He'll do that Genesis 5020, what the enemy meant to
destroy you by Jesus pours His love over in and through, and allows
that to be the very thing that gives us life and not only us. But
everyone we give it to second Corinthians one three and four is
true where God says, don't, you know, paraphrase, that I'm going to
comfort you and your time of need. So when others around you go
through something similar, you can give them the comfort that I've
given you that God's comfort is so powerful, that it not only heals
us, it heals everyone we give it to, and in a nutshell, to finish
the the encounter. I moved in with my grandparents on that day,
they had the wisdom to buy a little horse for me, through the
friendship of a little horse and the love of Jesus Christ, this
wild child's life was redeemed, and oh of all those years of
working through my grief in the presence of a horse, that Jesus was
at work, and he was doing something beautiful and powerful. And he
was creating that masterpiece. I didn't know any of that. I didn't
know that every day of that he was fashioning into what he was
calling this life toward. And that was to, to open a ranch that
that rescues horses in need, and then combines those horses with
children in need for free. Because what Jesus Christ did on the
gospel, what he offers, the world is free, how dare we charge
anybody for what Jesus Christ gives freely, everyone can afford
free. So now this ranch has rescued over 300 horses and counting,
and we visit to see about maybe around 5000 visitors a year because
everyone can afford free. And we've helped to shoulder into
existence, about 220 similar ranch ministries in the United States
and Canada and it doesn't inform ladies, that's what God can tell
with pain given to him, yes, here there's one pain let me say this
quickly. And then I have something I feel strongly that I need to
share. There is one pain, one that God cannot heal and redeem and
use for His glory. One. And that is the pain you will not release
to him. And Fred that is just pain that kills
in that in that prison of pain and suffering and guilt and depression and bitterness and fear and unforgiveness, you want to be in hell on earth. Just don't forgive someone you'll get there like that. Absolutely prison place of suffering. If you are there, and any of those things exist in your life, guess who's holding on to the bars and holding the door shut. That would be you and me. Because what Jesus Christ did on the cross was complete. We have his freedom, every minute of every day. And if we're not free, it's because we're focused more on what hurts than more on the one who feels that that works. Right now, you can open your fingers on that prison door of suffering in sin and step out into the freedom and the the ministry that he's calling you toward and it doesn't have to be a big thing. That's right. Every single human being needs hope. Here's what the Lord is teaching me and this is what I want to speak over every single person who's listening today. In Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. His Spirit lives in you. Spirit of Jesus said about the Holy Spirit in John 1613. He's the one who leads into all truth. He does. You want to know all truth. You want to know what you should do with your life. Follow Him, follow Him, follow Him. He's the one who knows the way and in every single situation. Every shoe can lay. Your life is too broken. You're too messed up, you're too wounded, you can't be healed. You are unsaved you are and valuable. All of that is a lie from the enemy. All of its ally, Asians one if you want to know who you are actually read the whole book of Ephesians that six chapters that will change your life. Right? He is Ephesians one says that you have already been blessed with every spiritual blessing. You are loved. and loaded for the King of kings, and he's put His Spirit in you. So here's what I'm learning. And here's what I what I want to speak over women today. I'm so excited.
Kimberly Hobbs
I'm so excited, you are amazing.
Kim Meeder
So, we serve an amazing God, since we carry His Spirit, we are
these vessels of flesh, that carry the living spirit of heaven, we
carry the Holy Spirit. And here's what I'm learning that because we
carry his spirit, every human interaction that we have, is an
opportunity to release everything that He is love, hope, peace,
joy, his patience, his kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self control, every single one of those things we can
release all day long. And so I'm learning ladies to simply say,
Holy Spirit, lead me. Spirit lead me, and then He does...
Kimberly Hobbs
That verse...whether you turn to the left or to the right, your
ears will hear a voice behind you saying this is the way walk in
it, he will lead you. That's an Isaiah.
Kim Meeder
Right, John 10 is work that Jesus calls us His sheep and my sheep
don't listen to anybody else. They know my voice, and they follow
Me. Amen. So I'm learning how to follow his voice. And recently,
I'm learning to invite him the Holy Spirit has an opinion on
everything, everything. And I've lived so much of my life on
autopilot. I know how to do this. I know how to do that. I know how
to run a ministry, I know how to go grocery shopping. I know how to
be a wife and to be a leader and to be a counselor a little Oh,
wait, your spiritual partner better pray about that. And the Lord
and His kindness is letting me know, honey, every moment that
you're breathing. That's the spiritual part. That's the part that I
want you to invite me into. And so I've been asking him, I need to
go buy picture frames today. Where do you want me to go? Seriously,
you're gonna ask the the Holy Spirit that and I'm learning Yes.
Because he has an opinion. And so on this particular day, he said
quickly, Goodwill was like, sweet, I love goodwill. It's like a
giant yard sale, and I can afford this stuff. And instantly, I'm
shopping the affordable aisles of the Goodwill store in that little
tiny town in Central Oregon. And so I have my little blue basket
and I find some picture frames, and I start to go to the one
checkout counter that was open. And I sensed the Holy Spirit say,
No, not yet. So I backed up. And I said, What else and I was
redirected. I was getting ready to go do a big speaking tour in a
really hot climate. And I was redirected to go buy some things for
that climates, like board shorts and flip flops, and Oh, sweet.
They're expensive random things, random things. So I go to the
checkout counter a second time, and again, felt no, not yet. backed
up. And I'm creeping around the Goodwill store. And I feel led to
go back, I find one more frame I put it in. So now I'm creeping up
to the counter. Like,
Kimberly Hobbs
Ladies, there's a purpose for this. So please listen carefully.
There's a reason God prompted her to go back into the store
again.
Kim Meeder
...and to wait for his timing for his timing. So the third time, I
felt nothing but release. So I step in line. And I hear the one
little checkout counter woman say to the man, she was serving, I'm
sorry, I don't know how to do this. I need to call for help. She
calls for help. And another employee comes to help. And she cuts in
front of me, she hits my basket, she almost knocks it out of my
hands. And she's mad. And she opens up this cash register and she's
just fuming. And she doesn't look at me. She said, Did you find
everything you need? And I said, Yes, I did. And actually I found
things I didn't even know I needed and, and I told her about the
things that I was getting ready to do a speaking tour. And I didn't
even know I needed those things. And she's like, Oh, that's great.
So what do you speak on, and I shared just a little vignette of
crystal peaks youth ranch and this ranch that rescues horses and
serves kids and, and creates an environment where all can find the
healing hope of Jesus Christ. And I get to speak about hope. And
she's like, Oh, that's great. And she hasn't even looked at me. And
finally she rocks back on her heels. And she leans forward and she
starts to yell in my face. I'm so glad that you talk to people
about hope, because I'm sick and tired. Nobody takes responsibility
for anything anymore. And I'm sick of it. I'm just shouting in my
face. And I'm looking at this little woman and thinking Lord Jesus,
what do I do with that? And she's shouting in my face and like a
bell on a clear more Morning, I heard the Holy Spirit's say, I want
you to point blank her with what I've done for you. And my first
thought, I gotta be honest, was a board a board. She's mad. The guy
behind me is mad. Everybody's mad Lord, she's not gonna listen to
that time. Jesus, it's really bad time. She's not going to hear it,
God. Okay, I'm going in Lord and Lord
Kimberly Hobbs
She's got her armor on. She's on a mission.
Kim Meeder
Holy Spirit lead me. And so I look at her little blue smock, and I
look at her little name tag, and I kid you not it said, Angel. And
I said, Angel, honey, you're right. I'm glad that I get a chance to
talk to people about hope. Hope is so vitally important to the
human heart that I remember, not only the day, but the moment that
genuine hope came into my heart. And that was the day that my dad
murdered my mom. It was the day that my dad took his life. And that
was the day that genuine hope came into my heart. And that was the
day that Jesus Christ came in. And he's never left. Not then not
now. Not ever. But God. This girl, she looked like I had shot her
with an arrow. She just went, Oh. She didn't move. She didn't
breathe. She stood like a statue of stone staring at the floor.
After what felt like a day. She finally exhales and this beautiful
laser blue eyes red hair, this little biscuit who just yelled in my
face. exhales and as her eyes start to raise to meet mine. She
streaking with giant tears. And in this teeny tiny little girl
voice. I hear her squeak. I've never told this to anybody. When I
was 12, my mom killed herself right in front of me. Oh my gosh. And
Kim, really all I did was just open my arms in this gesture that Oh
baby, this hug is for you. And that life ring of Hope was so vital.
She didn't even go around the counter. Her knees came up on the
counter, and she buried her face in the neck of a total stranger.
And in a goodwill line in a little mountain town in Central Oregon.
One orphan was met by a former orphan and she was adopted into the
kingdom of Jesus Christ because of love. Ladies, if you don't think
you have a purpose, you as the one who knows the way. James one
five says that you need wisdom. Ask God he'll be glad to tell you
follow the Holy Spirit. There's only one of you in all the world
needs you now more than ever, ever follow the Holy Spirit in only
the ways that you can and release the love and the hope and the
salvation that this world is desperate and dying for. Ladies, it's
time to stand up for the King of kings. mission in a job to do. You
are his masterpiece. God's Word is true. Ephesians 210 You are his
masterpiece Kim shows to do the good works that he chose for you
you long ago. Come on ladies.
Kimberly Hobbs
That's right. That's right. And ladies, what you're going through
now you may not may not be Kim story. But let let us both tell you
as somebody who has backgrounds who has stories of pain and
tragedy, that God can turn anything around right him God can take
you right where you are. It just takes faith that faith that God
talks about in his word that's as small as a little mustard seed
that mustard seed faith, that he can take you where you are, he
will rescue you and he will do exceedingly, abundantly above all
you can ask or imagine according to the power that's at work within
you. When you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. You
have the Holy Spirit that comes to live inside of you. He will
never leave you He will never forsake you never promises that God's
word is truth. God is truth. He cannot go back on what he says
ladies. So why don't you call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. He
says whoever calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be
saved. So once you call on his name, just like Kim did, she didn't
know him. She had heard little things about a person on the cross.
But there's power in the name she Hold on the name of the Lord
Jesus, Jesus came and rescued her where she was, he will rescue you
right where you are. And he will take this story that he is
building in your life right now. And ladies, you are going to be
used for a magnificent purpose, there will be a person behind the
counter that needs you one day that needs to hear your story and
you are boldly going to speak that story of life into that person,
you will be walking down the street and you are going to see
something that is going to happen and you are boldly going to move
in that direction. Because as God calls you to His purpose, he's
going to use you and you are going to move as he calls you. And you
will be used for great and mighty things that you have no idea yet.
But you have to do the first step which is call on the name of the
Lord Jesus. Let him rescue you from your pain and your hurt. Right,
Kim, I'm going on a rant.
Kim Meeder
We're paying ladies has a purpose. It has a purpose, and he will
heal and redeem every ounce of what you give him. And revelations
1210 and 11 is true. Satan is defeated by two things, two things
what Jesus Christ did on the cross, it's already happened. It's
already done, Satan's already defeated and the spoken word of your
testimony...
Kimberly Hobbs
Your testimony.
Kim Meeder
...deteats the power of the enemy, when you speak out what Jesus
Christ has done for you. The enemy is absolutely defeated. Why do
you think he attacks your words so much? He wants you to remain
silent, who are you to share anything, just be silent. They don't
listen to that lie. You have been deemed that you have an every
time you speak out what Jesus Christ has done for you. The enemy is
completely defeated. And you've released the love and the hope, the
joy, the peace, and everything that you have in Jesus Christ into
the heart of another person. It's like throwing a life ring to
someone who's drowning. Don't walk by again, if Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Savior so undid that for you, and I know who did it
for me, and I will live 1000 lifetimes of gratitude that they stood
in that gap and said, Kimmy, do you know how much Jesus loves you.
And now I know. And now that baton of faith has been handed to me.
If you could call yourself a Christian, it's handed to you. And now
it is your time to run it forward, sister. The day it begins today.
ipcn. With you, as you run for the King of Kings read Hebrews 112,
one through three, it's true. It's time for us to run this race
with our eyes focused on Him, not what hurts that's already been
dealt with. Focus on him and what he's done and the healing and the
redemption in the salvation. You already have. Now, run that
forward for His glory. Sisters, it's time.
Kimberly Hobbs
That's it your time is now the time is now. Obviously, Kim meter,
we are so grateful. Just so grateful this this time has gone by in
a flash, I can't even believe it. But Kim has promised that she
would come back again, ladies. And we are going to talk to her in
more depth and what God has shared and what God has done with this
life of just just incredible what she's doing to encourage people.
