A Silhouette of Suffering

“You have made known to me the path of life” Psalm 16:11

Hello my Friend,

My name is SUSAN VAUGHAN SHUMAKE. I hope to call you Friend, at the end of this Healing journey. Jesus calls us ‘Friend’. So I bring this message to you as only a Friend can, as only a Survivor can, as only a Sister Warrior in the Body of Christ can. I am not coming to you with Eloquence of Speech, or a Mastery of Degrees, or a List of Accomplishments by my name, but in Spirit, and in Truth, with the Word of God, and with the Word of my Testimony. I have been busy “Living Broken”, which bears Testimony to this Teaching.

When we are in a Battle, we count the days, because we wake up and we must fight for LIFE. Every day we must fight. Every day we must choose to rise up and to defeat our Enemy. The Battle against Abuse. The Battle against Cancer. The Battle against Coronavirus. The Battle against a Debilitating Disease or a Traumatic Brain Injury. The Battle against a Broken Femur. The Battle against BROKENNESS.

I cry even as I write this, because I have lived the Battle. I have breathed the Battle. I have bathed my days in tears, because of the Battle. I have lived The Broken. But GOD…He whispers at this moment, ” I was Broken to be HealedI was BROKEN TO BE HEALED.”

I share my story “From BROKENNESS To BEAUTIFUL,” because I have lived The Broken. I have Believed the Brokenness. I have lived Bound by Bitterness. Now, I am a Testimony of the Truth! I write this to every Believer, and to every Unbelieving Believer alike, who is LIVING BROKEN, because I have been in this Broken place.

How do we as a Believer, in the Broken Body of Christ, BELIEVE the BEAUTIFUL? How do we Believe the precious promises in the Word of God, living with a BROKEN HEART? How do we RECOVER BEAUTY when we are constantly Battling Brokenness?

It is hard to be in a place of BROKENNESS, Emotionally, Physically, or Spiritually, as a BELIEVER in the Body of Christ. To Live Broken is to live Ashamed. To Live Broken is to live in Pain. To Live Broken is to live in Fear. To Live Broken is to live in Unbelief with no relief. To Live Broken as a Believer, is to live a life, with no LIFE; to live in Defeat, rather than in the Victory we have in Christ. To Live Broken is to Believe we are not enough, so we hide our Brokenness from the world around us.

We forget the LOVE of God, or the POWER of God, that is available to us as HIS Beautiful Believers, when we are bound by Brokenness. We are stuck in Survival mode, searching for Freedom, yet stuck “LIVING BROKEN”. We are so busy being BROKEN TO SURVIVE by the Battle, that we cannot believe we can BE beyond it. We are so busy Battling Brokenness, so Trapped in the Trauma of our circumstances, the struggle for LIFE becomes our only reality.

We cannot see an end to our suffering. We cannot see the Truth of our Battle. We have not seen or understood the Spiritual Battle, bringing the Brokenness. We stay within the confines of our own captivity, when there is FREEDOM, BEAUTY, LIFE, and HEALING just beyond our vision.

We are all LIVING BROKEN in some manner of Life. To acknowledge our own Brokenness, as a Believer in the Body of Christ, is to say we are NOT ok to everyone around us. It is to admit our own need to be served, in a Community of Service toward others. It is to admit our own frailty, or failures in front of others. So we hide in the pain of our past, in the shame of our abuse, in the reality of our own rejection, or in the symptoms of our own sickness, rather than reveal our Heart and our hurt, in the House of God. We hide.

There is a way BEYOND BROKENNESS. There is A PATH OF LIFE to have LIFE. Let me take you there.

THE MIRACLE OF THE BEAUTIFUL HAPPENED!

I come to you as one who has WON THE PRIZE! Jesus Christ has RESCUED ME! DELIVERED ME! HEALED ME! And RESTORED ME from ALL BROKENNESS!

When God witnesses, or testifies, a promise in the Word of God to us, as a revelation of Truth, it is ours to BELIEVE! A Holy Spirit Witness. A Divine Revelation of God. A Kingdom Promise. It is ours to receive. It is ours to hold onto. This is why I am Here! I am here as a MIRACLE Testimony, to all who are Battling Brokenness!  I am here to teach you what I have learned.

  • I am the Broken One, MIRACULOUSLY Healed, Delivered, Rescued, and Restored from the Emotional Brokenness of an Abusive and Raging Believer! I am a Survivor! I am a Warrior! I am an Advocate against Abuse!
  • I am The Broken One, MIRACULOUSLY Healed, Delivered, Rescued, and Restored from the Physical Brokenness of an Aggressive and Raging Breast Cancer! I am a Survivor! I am a Warrior! I am a Conqueror of Cancer!
  • I am The Broken One, MIRACULOUSLY Healed, Delivered, Rescued, and Restored, from the Spiritual Brokenness of a Hereditary Disease, of Huntington’s, and a Traumatic Brain Injury, from Multiple Concussions, with Post Traumatic Concussion Syndrome! I am a Survivor! I am a Warrior! I am a Defeater of Darkness!
  • I am the Broken One, MIRACULOUSLY Healed, Delivered, Rescued, and Restored from the Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Brokenness of a Broken Femur Bone from an accident with a failed surgery! I am a Survivor! I am a Warrior! I am a Receiver of God’s incredible Mercy!

There is a way Beyond Brokenness! There is a way to overcome Sickness and Disease in your physical body. There is a way to have Victory over your Spiritual Enemy. There is a Path of LIFE to have LIFE. There is a way to the Sanctification of the Heart; which brings with it, the Healing of ALL BROKENNESS, Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual. All beginning at the Spiritual Level, with the Healing of your Heart.

The Word of God is Beautiful! The Word of God is the Heart of Heaven. The Word of God is Living, and Active, and Sharper than any two-edged sword. Which Promise in the Word of God are you Believing for in your Heart? You are My Beautiful Believer! You are what God says about you, not The Brokenness you have Believed in your heart. You may not Believe in yourself, but God Believes in YOU. Won’t you let Him Love you? Won’t you let Him Heal your Broken Heart?

I am His Beautiful Believer! I am the Visible Manifestation of the HEART OF HEAVEN HERE! I come to you with the Word of God, with Seasons of Suffering, and with a Servant’s Heart, sharing with you, the Heart of our Heavenly Father, who is Breathing LIFE into His Broken Body of Believers. He is HEALING BROKENNESS and RECOVERING BEAUTY. He is reviving His Church. He is Redeeming, Rescuing, and Restoring His Beloved Children, One Beautiful Believer at a time. That Beautiful ONE is You! Won’t you Believe with me?

All Healing begins in the HEART. All Healing begins in the HEART of HEAVEN. All Healing begins by BELIEVING God and His Word. When we Align our hearts with the Heart of Heaven, Heaven happens here! Healing happens here! MIRACLES, SIGNS & WONDERS Happen here! Heaven happens here in our Hearts by BELIEVING the Heart of Heaven! This is the Truth, My Beautiful One.

God is BREATHING His Breath-of-Life into the Brokenness of ours, and Recovering Beauty that was lost. So we might become THE HEART OF HEAVEN HERE, BEAUTY BEARERS of the King! His BEAUTIFUL BELIEVERS on Earth as it is in Heaven. ONE BEAUTIFUL HEART, ONE BEAUTIFUL BODY, ONE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE. As ONE with HIS HEART.

My Beautiful One, we Become One with HIS Heart. We Become ONE in Heart, in Spirit, in Mind, and in Body! We Become HIS Beautiful Believers, Transformed INTO His Image, Glorifying God here!

MY BEAUTIFUL BELIEVER; Breathing LIFE into the Broken, is a Ministry Message of HEALING from the Heart of Heaven, teaching Biblical Principles of Healing to the Broken Body of Christ. It is my Intimate, and Personal Testimony of HEALING BROKENNESS and RECOVERING BEAUTY. It is a Transformational Spiritual journey walking you from Spiritual Death to Spiritual Life, from Sickness to Health, from Bondage to Freedom, and from BROKENNESS to BEAUTIFUL!  

This is the HEART of HEAVEN for Every Beautiful Believer, Living Broken! This is our Sanctification! This is The Path of LIFE…from Creation to Redemption, and from BROKENNESS to BEAUTIFUL!

My heart is to KNOW His Heart. My heart is to LIVE His Heart. My heart is to SHARE His Heart.
