Martha, I love your messages of encouragement and would like to share some of them from time-to-time with members of my small country church. I provide a short inspirational message using PowerPoint a few minutes prior to the open of worship. Many of your videos would be perfect for that purpose. Thanks for considering this request. Blessings, Dan
Dearest Martha, It is always so strange to me that most often as soon as I get your videos that I don't always get to them right away. Sometimes it can be a week and then I have two to watch and listen to. The strange part is that it seems as though it is meant for me to wait because every time, I mean every time I watch one of them it always is an important lesson to me at that moment. Your video to I watched and I need to really make a big change before my life changes real fast, it has been slowly and I believe the dark hole I have been in has been the Lord telling me to get out before all of this happens and now your video only proves it. I have let my mental illness take over my life and my husband has just about given up on us and more important it has effected both my children. I know it won't be easy and it may be to late but If I can continue to have faith and not crawl into my bedroom and hide or made accusations upon my husband just maybe he will still have some love left in his heart to try my sorry's to him don't matter anymore in his words, my daughter who lives with her dad 16 years old I tried to send an email to say I was sorry for trying to help is not talking to me. I guess I still have a lot of lessons to learn let go and let God, teenagers will be teenagers, and as for my husband maybe deep down if he can see the happy person he feel in love with that shows love or caring and not always falling apart he will see as well. Thank you Martha and please pray for myself and family.

I know you are inspired by God with your messages. They are always so timely and even if I have seen the video clip before I get a new meaning each time. Today I realize I have some past hurts that I need to wash my hands of so I am not poisoned by them.

Thank you. For bringing me home to my heart again and back into the oneness with god.
Martha. You never cease to inspire me; I have many challenges in life like everyone. Your lessons seem to alway's hit home at the right time. Therefore, I know that you must know that: what you are doing is great timing for me as well as many other's, a great blessing.
I've often thoutht of getting rid of you. Well, I mean your site. Everytime I sit and listen.... I learn. I only wish I had a portion of what you show. and are able to live by each lesson and creed you convey. Thank you. MOST of ALL. I thank God. I know it is truely HE who manages and controll's EVERYTHING
what if we trusted Him and it feels like He let us down? what if He promised something and then changed the outcome? what do we do then?
Dear Martha,
I want to thank you so very much for this new series, you have brought to Beliefnet. I love watching your person videos, and find them inspirational, and heartfelt. I never missed "touched by an Angel" when it was on the air, and I miss it very much. TV is lacking, good uplifting and endearing programs such as yours. Each story line brought Gods "love" to light, and took the viewers to a place of peace. Speaking as a TV viewer I miss your kind of productions. Many thanks !
God bless you,
Mary Ann
Dear Martha,
I loved every show of "Touched By An Angel" that you ever did, I prayed that the TV
network would bring the shows back,cause they made alot of since,being reality...Do you still keep in touch with all the CAST of the shows?? If so, what are they all up to now a days???? Do you ever sign Autographs????? thanks for such inspiring shows will you be doing anymore??? If so when???? The lady that has sister involved in drugs keep praying and keep her on as many national prayer list as you can Because PRAYER is the number one answer I know I was delieved from DRUGS when I lived in Vegas......
Thanks Amy
Thank you for the encouragement. I needed it so much as I have a very trouble heart today. I will pray today and always as God is my father and everyones father. We all need to forgive others. Thank you again. I needed to be reminded.

Dear Kay, thank you for your words. I am in such a good place because my parents are not suffering any more. I know that one day I will see them again, and I just need to remember that they are safe. My Father has them and they are fine. I just need some one who can relate to what I am going through and get past the pain of the loss. I know they love me, it is too that I can't hold them and take care of them. I am amost afraid that I will forget the good times if I let them go. I am getting ready to let them go, and move to the next step of my life. Again, thank you Kay, and God bless you. Mary C.
This is just BEAUTIFUL Martha...
I know this will make a lot of people think...before doing...and after!!!
Thank you for your inspirations...AND for Touched By An Angel...wish you were STILL doing that...It was the "BEST" on TV!!!
Warm Hugs...
Martha,
Your words have reminded me to let go of the past and do what I need to better the future.
My sister is a crack addict and lost her children. My mother has 2 of them (one a crack baby). Mom isn't going to be around much longer and i'm disabled and can't care for a special baby like her. I held on to so much anger toward my sister. But you remimded me to let go of that in order to prepare to minister to her. You made me realize that perhaps the first step for her is to receive Christ. Then I know He will take over from there....I will still be around to "back Him up" though.
Please, include Sherry and all who are effected by her actions in your prayers....and that The Father will guide me as I minister to her.
Thank you for your wisdom.... It is truely a life saver.
Literally.
Dear Martha,
I love your website . Each day something on it touches my heart and helps me to get through these difficult times. Rarely has my life been worst , but I' am still here , still trying , still striving to make my life better, myself better and , hopefully, in the end to become the kind of person that God wishes me to be.
I thank Him each day for the good things this world contains , for the people who care for each other so much and you most certainly are one of those things.
God Bless you, today and always.
Lisa Boyd
Thank you Martha. I am facing a crisis at my job that just came up today and I need to lean on God. I know this and thank you for reminding me. Please mention me in your prayers and thank yuo for your inspiration.

Mary C... I read your comment and couldn't help but reply. Grief is an elusive emotion -- It seems just when you think you are "over it" and have moved on, it can be triggered very easily. A chance encounter with some one or for me... even the smell of a greenhouse or fresh mown hay can trigger a tear or two. But what I have learned since the death of my parents is that because of the special relationship we had -- They must be tears of joy and thankfulness for the Lord blessing me so abundantly. It was not until after my loss that I found that one of my closest friends was jealous of my "grief" - She had such hurt feelings from her childhood that she was not even sure she would grieve her parents.... So count your blessings - I know I am.
Dear Martha,
Thank you for your inspiring devotionals. Each one has spoken to my heart. I have lost two husbands by death, but give God the glory for having brought them into my life and for His promise that I will see them again someday! I never portray myself as the "poor widow" and tell people at every encounter that life has taught me that there are so many, many things in life that are far worse than death. I always know that there are people who live with pain, physical and emotional, every day of their lives. There are parents caring for childen with disabilities and illness, and some of those children will not only suffer, but they will die, leaving heartbroken parents. God has blessed my life with good health and with the ability to work and support myself, and every day I give him grateful thanks. I know that He does indeed prepare us to face things yet to come, and with the assurance of one of my favorite quotes~"Don't worry about tomorrow--God is already there!" I thank Him for loving me and for being so ever present in all of my days and all of my tomorrows!
I am so glad to have subscribed to Belief Net. There are many interesting stories, etc. on this Web site but you are the most inspirational person. You tell it from the heart. This is why your program - Toughed by an Angel was a big hit. Your heart is enormous. Please keep these stories going.
Have a good day and a very Happy Easter.
Dear Martha, just a line to let you kow that I love your messages. I lost my husband 3 years ago on 3-17-2005. It has been a very hard road to walk. I know that were it not for my faith in God, I would not have been able to handle it. I have faced so many challenges in my life, and am still facing a lot of challenges, my life is not easy, but, I trust in GOD enough to know it will be okay. Just wanted to touch bases with you, and let you know I appreciate your addresses.
dear martha,once again thank you for your words of wisdom.i was greatly enlightened.you are a joy to listen toO.I PRAYED FOE WISDOM,EVERYDAY,AND THE DEAR LORD GIVES IT TO ME.THANKS AGAIN MARTHA.
Dear Martha
You are such a joy. Your words are most comforting and encouraging for me as I struggle to have part in my family's lives. I love & know the Lord, I attend church to worship Him and I am steadfast in trying to live more like Him, daily. After my Mom passed away, (12 yrs. ago)I accepted the care for an older sister who is mentally retarded. I try to help her live a full life in Christ Jesus, but because my other sisters don't know the Lord and don't want to even hear about Him, they go out of their way to treat me with ill-will and disrespect. They try very hard to convince her of the opposite of what scripture teaches. Every conversation with them results in an argument and every visit,I am left sitting alone in a room while they congregate in another room. I stopped visiting because I wasn't really welcome and I keep calls to a few and only ask how they are doing. They make big splashes at funerals, but never take the time to visit, love, care for or assist the living. Finally, I realize I need only to love and pray for them and to let go and let God. He has given me so many wonderful friends in Christ and I know they are the family I thought I would never have. I visit your site very often because it provides solutions & keeps my spirit soaring. Actually, Father, Son and Holy Spirit keep my spirit soaring, you are my reinforcement!! Thank God for the gifts he has given you and thank you for sharing them.
Love in Christ,
Le'Nora
Thank you so much Martha. I've seen of your videos today and they have both inspired me. I know God has a plan for me and I need to take the time to listen for my instructions. thank you and may God bless you in all your needs.
Thank you, Martha. Today I needed your message. I hold some resentment, and your devotional about washing the hands was on target! I believe God sent your message to me today. Blessings!
Good day with Lord's blessings!
I can see how benefical people get from listening to you. I am hearing impaired and it's difficult for me to understand the narrations. Would it be possible to add subtitles to your videos? I feel that it would be benefical for many others with hearing loss as well as myself. Thank you and God bless you for your sharings of inspirations.
I know that God wants me to deal with the grief about my parents. We had been through so much together that they are still deeply buried in my emotions. I have done everything that I know to do and now it's time to ask God for the answer. He wants me to wash away the misery of missing them, because they are with Him. He is ready for me to go to the next step, and I am not. Sometimes it is very discouraging, but with God, all things are possible. I will not give up in this thing, it is the race I must run for now in the good fight of faith. Thank you Martha, for allowing God to work through you. We are a sweet aroma to God when we help someone else from stumbling, and encouraging them. He knows the next step for me, and I must take it, no matter where it may lead me. It only gets better from here. Mary C
god bless your husband to be alive today martha

so god bless you alway's
michael
This is really a blessing. Seeing I did not know these facts. I really enjoy learning about the truth of God. I have to agree that washing your hands helps not to spread germs. I wish more people working in restuarnets folled this practice. Thanks for letting me share...
Very inspirational message.
Dear Martha, at age 12 I had a series of hip operations, and the Hospital Priest came to visit, he was young and I am sure wondered why a child was in an Adult Hospital, he asked me if I had any questions. the operations were 7hrs long to pin part of my hip and I was in so so much pain. I asked him why did God want me to have so much pain? He was perplexed and thought about this, his reply was 'God needs to know if you are able to take pain for the life he has for you.'
At 18 I broke a disc in my spine while in the Air Force.
I am 50 in June and have just had a Spinal cord stimualator Implant placed in my spine to help me manage crippling chronic severe back pain.
I have over the years endured much pain, of many genre's but through it all my faith has been my strength and has helped me cope with divorce, twins, special needs child with a very rare genetic condition (she was 1 of 5 world wide there are now 32 cases of the syndrome)My fathers cancer, and other challenges.
My faith in God is as strong as it was when I was a child, I have like so many endured with the help of faith, when the world has walked out I know God walks in and I am never alone, it is his hand I hold when I am not strong, it is he who wipes my tears, and it is he who gives me strength to continue, I know, I am blessed.
kind regards Jeanine (Australia)
I bought this cup holder a few years ago because of the words written on it I KNOW GOD WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANYTHING I COULDN'T HANDLE (I JUST WISH HE DIDN'T TRUST ME SO MUCH). I have been going through some really tough times lately and someone , a stranger, has offered to help and I have been very short to this person unnecessarily. Thank you for reminding that I needed to wash the bad thoughts and feelings so I can move on.As I mentioned before I had the message,I needed your memo.
It always amazes me how God comes to us in need with just the right message and this morning was no exception. Thank you Martha for your inspiration. I reached out just yesterday, to my oldest daughter, who has been estranged from me, really for many years.She has now caused problems between my grandaughter and me,the ultimate slap in the face. Out of five children she has always been trouble since she was 14. I don't know why and have reached out many times to her to no avail. She is 45 now and I am in failing health and want to right whatever is wrong. I have no clue what that is but I now am going to wash my hands once again.
Hi Martha,
I live in Kolkata, (West Bengal), India.
Years ago, I never missed an episode of 'Touched by an Angel'. The episode that really remained in my mind all through these years is the one on 'anger' and the far-reaching effects and results of one person's bad attitude on several others which eventually led to a near suicide of someone who was in no way connected with the person who started the wheel of misfortune through their uncontrolled temper / anger.
I would like to have the entire series on CD / DVD or be able to view these online.
Please let me know what it would cost in Indian Rupees, to have these CDs / DVDs sent to me in India.
If these can be viewed free over the internet, then please give me the address of the website. I would not be able to make payment online. I can however, send a cheque by post.
Thank you so much for your time.
Please pray for me whilst I struggle with somewhat un-controllable 'anger' & 'resentment'.
Thank you for your prayers.
love,
Jacqueline
Thank You. I couldn't have viewed this video at a more perfect time than this.
Martha I just found your site. God Bless You and Your Husband. Touched By An Angle was a Great Show. Kepp up Your Ministry And God Bless.
Martha--one thing I've learned over the years is that nothing happens in my life that God hasn't already prepared me for. Big thing, little things--all are important to Him. Nothing that happens to me is a surprise to Him. I don't begin to understand how the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe can be interested in the little things in my life--but I believe it. He's shown me His love, His care, His leadership, for over 60 years so far. And the older I get the more I'm able to love Him back! Thank you for this precious ministry! I'm encouraged every time I see your smiling face and hear your inspiring stories.
i just wanted to say thanks to martha. today is the first time ive heard your inspiring stories. its really making me think. i feel i have a hard time hearing God speak to me but when i hear stories like this and little testamonials it really touches me. in fact i almost cried hearing the story of the wedding ring. im a married woman. ive been married about a year and a half. anyways thanks.
As always thank you so much for your message. There is always something that requires us to wash our hands and move forward.
I love Touched by an Angel. It inspired me to do good, rather than return evil for evil. In addition, I loved all the characters because they were doing the will of God by communicating the love of Christ to others. Most of all, they didn't interfere, they did what God would have wanted. And that was, to make a choice because he gave us free will. How loving and yet how merciful our Lord and Savior is.
As always and eye opener and so inspiring. Can't thank you enough! Lynn
I just wanted to let you know that I love all of your stories and messages. They inspire me to live a more spiritual life. I made amends with my older brother and let him live in the house that was empty [I only bought it to care for my mom when she was dying], and encouraged him to keep warm and comfortable for the winter. I was just in time as he was homeless and very sick with dibetes and high blood pressure without meds. He almost died. [he is only 53 years young] Thank you for the inspiration.
Wow, that was a really concise and encouraging message. I agree with you on that aspect of Jewish customs. God knows what we need even before we do and that's something we can count on. Thanks for sharing your take on it!!!
