BRETHREN in CHRIST,

 

                 Our marriage and family and TRUST in our TRINITY PROVIDER, JEHOVAH JIREH is undergoing a fiery refining testing.  The LORD has been FAITHFULLY heeding the prayers of all of you for our family and for me personally as HE has promised that when two or more are gathered together in HIS name, HE listens.  I thank the LORD for you all.

                  Ever since ART and I have rededicated our lives to the service of  the LORD hand-in-hand in 2005, (TENT MEETING, Evangelist RICH TOZOUR) the enemy has incessantly tried to attack us from all sides and dimensions of our walk in HIM.  I still believe in my heart that GOD extended ART's life from CANCER of the throat for over 10 years now, as HE did Elisha's, for HIS purpose.  I still believe that ART is the answer to my prayer to give me a husband who will lead our family, including our future in-laws and future grandchildren in the SERVITUDE of HIM.  By GOD's design, our first church, BEREAN BIBLE CHURCH, introduced me personally to the BIBLE, the GENESIS CREATION foundation, defending the faith, the BIBLICAL foundations of AMERICA as a nation, and to the HYMNS of our CHRISTIAN faith.  The LORD saw to it that my ZEAL and PASSION for HIM rises from infatuation, to an insolluble FAITH, CONVICTION, TRUTH and WISDOM.  CALVARY CHAPEL has taught me to appreciate GOD's word from GENESIS to REVELATION.

                 I am almost feeling like JOB with God up there wanting me to prove to the enemy that HE reigns in my heart.  He also allowed the likes of BILDAD, ELIPHAZ, JOPHAR in legal and CHRISTIANESE parlance, and wolves in sheeps clothing to see if we could be as the BEREANS, sifting every counsel against GOD's words. As both in the OLD TESTAMENT and NEW TESTAMENT, we were also not exempted from those that JESUS abhored and stamped HIS stamp of disdain on, the JUDAIZERS, PHARISEES and SADDUCEES.  Supposedly shepherds and friends who has literally led us to the slaughterhouse. 

                 I am now in my 5th year of going through the HOLY BIBLE, book by book, chapter by chapter and verse by verse, KJV, NKJV, NLT,  NIV and Life Application Study and commentaries included. I still have to be revealed the book, the chapter or the verse where GOD commands that when we feel betrayed or distrust, or for the protection of our worldly possessions or in order to prove and protect our rights, we can file for legal separation, divorce or take our HELPMEET or  brethren to court.

                 Had it not been for the MIRACULOUS and very personal DIVINE ORCHESTRATION of both minute details and monumental events in my life that has FORTIFIED the HEDGES of my HEART for the LORD, I would have given to the temptation to join the proverbial  "hypocrites" that the pagans and gentiles blame for their disbelief.

                 Before we can become effective VOICES of the LORD to the PAGANS and GENTILES, we ought to be united in the PURSUIT of HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH, COMPASSION, GRACE and JUSTICE in our own hearts, families and  church.  Book of ACTS; I & II CORINTHIANS, NEHEMIAH, EZRA.

                 A few days ago, the LORD synchronized Art and I into a moment to reflect on our BLESSINGS when he and I got glued to a documentary on the life of a servant of GOD sans arms and legs.  He is going around the world spreading the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST.  Tears were streaming down my cheeks convicted of the temptation to throw in the towel and sing the hymn "LEAD ME HOME" to the LORD.

                  Please pray that Art, Rainelda, Rizalind, Anthony and I will stand the stand the test and will still be together as I dreamed -a couple, a FAMILY,  a generation of SERVANTS dedicated to be used for HIS GLORY.

 

In CHRIST,
