In 2008, Darlene Underwood had a near-death experience while undergoing open-heart surgery. During that time, Darlene entered a new and exciting realm where she had never been. While in this place, the Lord Jesus Christ spoke a message to her to take back to His people, and she made a vow to Him to tell it to wherever and to whomever He sent her. Her testimony has caused many to recommit their lives to the Lord.

 

The Lord Jesus has ministered to Darlene in many prophetic dreams and visions throughout her walk with Him. She ministers with a prophetic flow, encouraging others through practical understanding and everyday application of God’s Word. She brings forth the Word of God with straight forwardness but always in love.
