| Brenda L Peterson - Author |
A Mississippi native, I Brenda L. Thurmond was born the fifth child of twelve wonderful children. Eleven months after my birth my family, which consisted of grandma, mom, my siblings and I relocated to Chicago Ill. Grandma was considered King in our home. She loved and always made God’s presence known through prayer and attending church; yet, in my senior year of high school, instead of receiving my diploma I gave birth to my first child with three more to follow. After this I became a drug abuser and distributor. Nonetheless, I wanted out with a sense of urgency. Grandma’s words to God which were “Please Sir have mercy” truly helped to bring me to this point. . . out. On Palm Sunday in 1982, the altar call from God was “Behold I stand at the door and knock, if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). I accepted His invitation; I was born again. From that moment on God taught me. First, He anointed me with an everlasting heart for intercessory prayer, praise, worship and the gift to write songs to glorify Him. As I grew in grace, in 1984 on Oct. 13th my Holy Ghost with fire baptism was manifested and on Oct. 28th I received my calling as a Prophet according to Jeremiah 1:4-5. Since then, God has sent me out with the gospel to churches in Chicago, various other cities, and community affairs to exalt, preach, teach, minister in song, lay hands on the sick, and bring a prophetic word concerning His love and chastisement towards us, thus proving and showing Himself faithful every time. God, in the fullness of time, always lets me know who I am in Him, for He has now graduated me into writing books beginning with “New Life in Christ and Foundational Studies”. In the light of studies, allow me to share a short yet very powerful testimony. Being bothered with my wrist possibly because I am always researching, writing and typing about something wonderful, I began to pray and thank God for my healing, for His word says “if there be any afflicted among you let them pray”. I remember saying, Lord show me what to do; it is not like I am a doctor. God spoke to me and said, “You are a doctor, a doctor of the word”. Right then He changed my name and called me Dr. Prophetess Brenda L. Peterson; what a mighty God we serve! Whoever God says you are, then this is who you are. Getting to know Him and how He moves for His glory makes us free, so, feel free to visit every room here and see what a difference He can and will make in your life like He has done in mine. Yours in Christ Jesus, Dr. Brenda L. Peterson |
