Pam Seaman Ministry

The older I get the more I value my deep experiences with God. I had one of those today. After having such a busy week celebrating Thanksgiving with my family I found my self anxious to get my personal time with God back. I found my way to my carpet this morning and just poured my heart out before the Lord. Wow, how He promises to meet us. The more we seek Him the more we do find Him.

I am not sure of how long I was in prayer when a spirit if worship came over me in a strong way. I found myself rolled over on my back with my arms out spread eagle. I was worshipping and singing in the Spirit when suddenly I saw myself literally hugging the Cross and screaming with all of my might. ”God I trust You”! I began to weep in the presence of the Lord because I began to feel strength in my soul once again. You see, I have always felt like I lived a life of faith while in ministry until I really HAD to live a life of faith. I began to praise God for every prayer He has answered and for the beautiful way that He has provided for us over the months and though I don’t always know how to face tomorrow, He will grant me the strength to face today and then I know I can trust Him with my tomorrow. We are in such a season of trial in our home but I have watched at how even our kids have seen God move on our behalf in miraculous ways knowing that this year has been so hard for them too and they aren’t sure where we’ll be tomorrow either. But I know that seeing the mighty hand of God at work in our lives is something that will always stay with them.

God is doing such a purging and cleansing in my heart right now and He has made sure to silence my life to get me to this point and I so praise Him for it. I’ve shared before about how much the Psalms have spoken to me these past few months and when I get to the end I just have to start over again because how much God is speaking to me through it all. Psalms 19:12-14 says, How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep me from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

As I go along this journey, I have made this my prayer. I believe at times we can’t sleep at night because we know that there are things lurking in our hearts that we haven’t quite resolved. So, we try every formula we can to remedy our insomnia when sometimes all that is needed is just falling out of bed onto our knees and just telling God the truth about us. We may think that we hide things real well from people but He stares right into our souls and stirs conviction until we come clean before Him. I admit that my biggest struggle has been people…feeling like I have never lived up to their expectations of me but I have also found that maybe they haven’t lived up to mine either. It doesn’t matter what we hide behind, God knows the real us and sometimes the real us can be real ugly. The more He teaches me where I wrong, the more I see a great need for His never ending grace in my life and I have found that He is the only one that can really love unconditionally. I have chosen to surrender and allow His Spirit to continue to work in me until I have no more strength for deliberate sin. Maybe then…I will be raptured or get a good nights sleep.

He really does love us. Surrender those areas that you know are deliberate sin. We all have hidden faults even though we don’t want to admit it. Let Him have his perfect work in you that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing. James 1:4 He is developing our character as painful as it is but we will come out as pure gold and ready for His presence in the end.

I just returned from the PennDel Women of Purpose Conference in Hershey, PA. What an awesome time we had as we led 2500 women into the presence of the Lord through worship. At one point I had to pull my ear monitor out so that I could hear those precious women raise their voices about the rafters of that conference center and glorify their Lord.

After each session I would leave the stage early to get to my product table where my friend Sue and my sister-in-law Jeri helped me run my table. As they handled all the sales, I stood to the side and hugged every woman that I could who came by. You see, I went to this conference with a heart that was so heavy from situations that I have been going through in my own life and I just didn’t have any words of encouragement to muster up for any one when all I really wanted to do was lay across the stage and just sob my heart out before God. But God instead chose me to hug all of those women who came out of that conference room with their own tears and their own situations. Truly my heart was filled with compassion for them as I would just wrap my arms around them and assure them of God’s love to get them through.

When I returned home, I was greeted with emails from women who were just thankful for the hug that was given at the right moment. You know, sometimes we don’t have all of the perfect words to speak but I think there are times that God would have us say nothing at all because then somehow His glory shines through and we receive no credit which is how it should be.

I was reading in Proverbs today and several verses stood out to me that I would like to share with you. Chapter 20:3 says,“Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling.” I had to ask myself…is this me? Do I want to fight with others? Do I allow myself to be a fool by insisting on having strife in my life? Then I read on down to verse 22 that says, Don’t say, “I will get even for this wrong.” Wait for the Lord to handle this matter.

Now let me tell you. This is an area that I am really trying to hear God in because the first thing our flesh ever wants to do is rise up but I learned recently that God sometimes draws a line and causes us to sit at that line where we are not allowed to speak or defend ourselves or we may mess up the very thing He is trying to correct for us. Getting even just isn’t worth it to me. How about you?

I will end this with the last verse that stuck out to me and it is found in Proverbs 1:21.“Whoever pursues godliness and unfailing love will find life, godliness and honor.”This is what I want to pursue and it will only come when I am stretched out before Him in complete honesty and surrender. Pursuing godliness may just come from our keeping our mouths shut when we need to and I think that is a lesson we can all learn.

Wow! What an incredible couple of weeks. I have been everywhere from Florida to Elkton Maryland to Nashville, TN. I have decided to just leave my suitcase out where I can get to it quickly.

God has been so awesome to me. He continually shows Himself faithful even when we don’t deserve it but I am learning more and more of how our life here is such a process and if we spend all of it worried about our failures or how others have failed us, we will lose out on the richness of what He wants us to enjoy in this life. I have decided that I don’t want to miss a thing.

I went to Florida a few weeks back and watched as my dad graduated from a two and a half year course for men at his church. I was so proud of his commitment to not only see the program through but to excel in all of his classes. At the end of the ceremony they called each man individually to the stage where they would bow on one knee and receive a beautiful sword as they declared there devotion to God and to other men who needed mentoring. I cried as I thought of how my dad grew up poor in the Appalachian Mt.’s and all that he has been through in life to overcome the obstacles that appeared before him. To me he set the greatest example of endurance as he studied hard to show himself approved and is willing to still find a place in ministry when he should be getting to enjoy his years in retirement. It impacted me to keep persevering no matter what the struggle.

Next I headed to Elkton, MD where I got to minister to a wonderful group of ladies. They have such great zeal to live for God that it encouraged me but as I prayed with them in the altars I was touched by how much pain and brokenness a lot of them were facing and I left with a burden for so many of them. I look forward to returning and seeing what God has done in their lives.

Then I was on to Nashville and enjoyed a few days relaxing. I love to get out and go see where all of the “music stars” live and if they ever catch me I’d imagine that they would think that I was stalking them. I guess if they did catch me…I would just ask them “what’s for breakfast?” I did have one evening of industry business and I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting with some incredibly talented people. I spoke with a man that had produced Dolly Parton a few years back and heard him speak of what great ministry he and his wife are involved in. I also met a gentleman that is the lead singer for a group called Pure Prairie League. I don’t know if you would remember the song the sang years ago that went something like…Amy what you gonna do? Anyhow, I immediately recognized it and was so impressed with how this man and his wife were with people. It just seemed to me that no matter what they have faced in life they were going to not only NOT give up but they would continue to knock on this door or that until the right ones opened.

I am so inspired by all of these weeks of travel because these are all folks that aren’t just staying in whatever situations they have faced or are facing but they have the courage to do more and see their lives totally fulfilled and that is just where I want to be. I don’t want to be in my senior years and blaming everything and everyone because my life didn’t seem fulfilled but I want to be like my dad and keep on growing, learning and marching on until I see my sweet Savior that loves me in all my imperfections and allows me to dust myself off when I fall and keep on going. I’M NOT QUITTING!

2007-10-02T18:31:00.000-07:00

The past few months I have been living in the book of Psalms. I found myself praying the prayers that David prayed and just weeping before the Lord. You know, I found that just before God does something great for us He must do something great in us and that my friends can be very painful but He has left the outcome of that process up to us.

I would like to share with you what Psalms 32 says in the NLT. It is a little lengthy but I think it will set you free if you are willing.

Oh, what joy for those whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!
Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Therefore, let all the godly confess their rebellion to you while there is time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.
For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.

Wow, do I love this! I have been attending a women’s Bible study once a week and we are doing a Beth Moore study on the tabernacle and how it relates to a women’s heart…God’s dwelling place. She had us do an exercise that I found so freeing. So many times we confess our sins to God and believe that He has forgiven us but then a few weeks later we find ourselves repenting again when we have already turned away from the sin. The problem with that is we are only reconfirming our own unforgiveness. We can’t even lay it down because we can’t forgive ourselves. Beth had us shut our eyes and just confess everything to God. And I mean everything. All the hatred and animosity that we have held toward others. All of our anger and frustration. I don’t know about you but…I had a long list. He wants us to get everything out in full confession to Him and not try to hide behind it anymore. After she has us do that then we were to still keep our eyes closed and just picture God whispering in our ear…”I forgive you, I forgive you.” I began to cry as I thought of all the things we have been through lately and how deep I actually let wounds get to me and those sweet words from Him was all that I needed to hear. That whatever I have done wrong, when I honestly confess to Him…He whispers “I forgive you.”

In my imperfection, the simple act of forgiving so that I can be forgiven should be a no brainer. How about it friend? What are you holding up inside of you that you just haven’t quite confessed to God because you think you have a right to hold on to it? I think unless we let it go we can’t sing that song of victory like it says above or have that overwhelming sense of joy that only His forgiveness brings.

2007-10-01T19:27:00.000-07:00

I awoke this morning with the thought of how “His mercies are new every morning”. Why aren’t mine? Lamentations 3:21-23says This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed because HIS compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is THY faithfulness. I mean, if God can look on me with a fresh outlook everyday knowing that at some point in the day I will probably screw up, why can’t I give myself that same break? Why can’t I give others that break? If I stepped back from all the situations I may be facing right now and really see things for what they are…they are nothing in light of who He is and I have to remind myself that what may bring tears to my eyes now won’t even matter when I stand in His presence.

So why do I war within myself? Why do I struggle trying to be what I think HE would want me to be instead of totally depending on that “mercy” everyday? Getting past sorrows, regrets and worries can be difficult for all of us but when we stop and think of all the things that we are forgiven for just in a simple day…why can’t we walk in complete forgiveness toward ourselves and others? I know that I am harder on myself that anyone else ever could be but at some point I have to learn to let the past be the past and trust Him for a great future. As for me, I choose to forgive so that I can be forgiven and I can grasp hold of that mercy that is new everyday. Really…are any of us all that perfect anyhow?

The hidden things of the heart and life will one day be revealed for what they really are and I pray that God grants me the honesty to deal with my stuff now so that I won’t be swimming in a life full of regret. I don’t know where He is taking me in this life but I know I will not allow myself to be sinking in a deep pit of despair when I know I can call on that mercy every morning.

September 16th, 2007

It’s been so long since I have written a blog. It’s funny where life takes you and how quickly you can find yourself going through difficult times, struggles and what seems to be the darkest experience you have ever had. I have really walked through some stuff the past few months and have actually known what is to be persecuted, torn down and broken hearted. BUT I have also seen the hand of God in everything that I have faced. I have really found that when I go through times and events like these that He becomes more precious and real to me. I know what it is to fail friends and I certainly know what it is to have friends fail me but MY God said that He would be that “friend that is closer that any brother (or sister)”. He hasn’t failed me but has let me know that everything that I face is still another way for Him to receive the glory.

Sometimes he wants to change us and sometimes HE wants to even change the relationships in our lives and I have found that it is better to do it His way than to have those relationships suddenly yanked from your lives. That folks is the most painful experience you could ever imagine. So what do I do? I stay on my face everyday and I stay in His Word to find the answers that I need. Each day I gain strength and I become closer to Him because “the more I seek Him, the more I find Him”! He doesn’t give up on me though I may not always say or do the right things but He does promise me that if I do things His way…He WILL lead me out of every difficult situation and hopefully I will have gained wisdom.

I leave you with this. If you process right and handle situations according to His Word…you WILL heal right!

Pam,

I will be adding "With All That I Am" to our playlist here at KHYM. I also really liked 'Sweeter' and 'Follow That Dream'.

You're sound is a mix of inspo, southern gospel with just a touch of classic rock (of course when you have Phil Keaggy and Terry Blackwood working with you you're bound to get a few influences from multiple genres).

Thanks for sending the material. God bless,
Glenn Hascall

Pam's New Year Changes

I am currently experiencing a change in ministry and am very excited about what the future holds. My husband and I have decided that after 19 years of pastoring that we are going to retire from that field of ministry and step in to the new world of full time evangelism.

God is moving in churches throughout our great nation and we want to be a part of that move. My husband has been given a message of deliverance for the church body and I believe it is going to be powerful.

With this change comes a lot of apprehension with leaving a wonderful church, living a complete life of faith and trusting Him that we are making the best choices for our kids. But I know that He will NEVER leave me or forsake me and so I step into this new year and this great adventure knowing who God is and what He wants to do with our lives.

My new album is out now and is selling well. Above everything else my prayer is that it will touch hearts around the world and God would use it to advance His kingdom. If you have not received a copy of it please get on my web site and check it out. There are some powerfully anointed songs that have been penned by some awesome writers (one being my husband).

I encourage all of you to start this new year with a challenge to yourself to do as much for God as you can because He is returning very soon and we do owe Him all that we can possibly give.

Blessings,

Pam Seaman

From tears to cheers, and everything in between! When you experience Pam’s ministry live, that’s the journey you’ll be on, and it may well be the journey of a lifetime.

Pam uses her incredible anointing and unimaginable talent in the form of worship, ballads, preaching, and testimony to take us with her in and out of painful experiences and deep looks into our insecurities and failures. The masks created by our hurts and rejections, held in place by the Enemy himself, fall away easily in the presence of the Holy Spirit as Pam shares her life and her music.

She grew up loving the church and its songs, and in over 20 years of ministry has only grown in her appreciation for just how powerful that sweet sound of faith can be. Married to her husband, Doug, for 21 years, she is the mother of Kyle, 13, and Kacy, 10.

Having served as Worship Pastor in each of the three churches they have led, she was “let go” by her own husband in 2005 so she could focus all of her energy on this ministry! She is listed on the National Preferred Speakers List of the Assemblies of God Women’s Ministry, has released this, her fifth album, and travels throughout the nation in ministry. This work includes church services, conferences, and special events where Believers desire a deep and lasting touch of God.

The focus of her ministry is the tender work of the Holy Spirit, culminating in an altar call that is life-changing. Thousands have been swept into the presence of God in these seasons of prayer and healing. In an atmosphere of honesty and brokenness, lives are dedicated to the Lord, addictions are broken, and hope is restored in even the darkest conditions.

Pam may well be available for ministry in your church. You can contact Page2 Management for more information. Pam has been a Pastor’s wife for over 20 years, She will work closely with you to understand exactly what you want in your service and to make that a reality, as much as possible. Those who have hosted her will tell you they’ve never been sorry.
