Good morning my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I am so privileged to be able to write to you all today. This is the day that our LORD has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. It is actually only by the Grace of God that I am even able to write to you today.
Since we last spoke 2 weeks ago, I have experienced death and tragedy of tragedies of the magnitude that could have potentially destroyed and devastated my life and the lives of my family members. Our lives have been forever changed. But I know the God Whom I serve and He Alone controls the Universe and all of the circumstances that occur in it and in the lives of all of His creation.
Of course God never causes any evil. He is incapable of this because this is not HIS Divine Nature nor Character. He is JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, HOLY SPIRIT, RIGHTEOUSNESS, (Jehovah Tsidkenu), PURE LOVE, PERFECT, HEALER, (Jehovah Rapha), PROVIDER, (Jehovah Jireh), GOOD SHEPHERD, (Jehovah Roi), COUNSELOR, KING, (Melek) PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING, STRONG TOWER, OUR SHIELD AND BUCKLER, THE WORD MADE FLESH WHO LIVED AND DWELT AMONG US AS JESUS CHRIST, (ABBA ADONAI), DADDY, LORD and MASTER and BANNER OVER OUR LIVES and the lives of our families for all generations, (Jehovah Nissi). He promises He will use every circumstance to work together for our good and His Glory.
ROMANS 8:28 AND WE KNOW THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. (niv)
It is only by clinging to Jesus Christ of Nazareth and His Living WORD and the (Dunamis Power of His Resurrection-the very Power of the Holy Spirit Who raised Jesus from the dead); that I have been able to make it through these last 2 weeks. I have a long road ahead, actually an entire lifetime. Some happenings just change people’s lives forever.
ROMANS 8:11 AND IF THE SPIRIT OF HIM WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS LIVING IN YOU, HE WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES BECAUSE OF HIS SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN YOU. (niv)
Dear LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God Almighty, Holy Spirit, we humble our hearts and prostrate ourselves (shacah) before Your Mighty Throne in Heaven today. LORD we worship You for Who You are. You are Sovereign, You are Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. You alone are worthy to be Praised. We thank You for Who You are and Whose we are.
We thank You LORD that we have You to come to and to talk to as our Loving, caring, nurturing Heavenly Father. LORD God so many, many people have experienced devastating loss in these last weeks and months. LORD repair their broken hearts, restore Your Strength into their souls, replenish their spirits with ultimate faith and hope in You, refresh their mental outlook and emotions. Give them Your Victory and Your Peace that Passes Understanding in Christ Jesus.
We lift up all of the members of the church congregation in Texas, the victims of the Las Vegas shootings, those who continue to rebuild their lives after all of the natural disasters, victims of racial, religious and cultural prejudice and all of the First Responders and our Military. LORD You know them each by name, they are precious to You. Minister to them each personally in Your perfect way. Send us, immobilize all of us Christ-followers/Christians to be Your Heart and Hands extended to these hurting people.
Protect them with Your angels LORD. LORD heal the individuals and families that we never hear about. Only You know their silent sufferings. Only You see the Martyrs for Christ. Give them Your Strength LORD to persevere for a much greater life awaits them when they open their eyes on the other side of Heaven, with YOU to personally usher them into Your Presence.
We stand in the dominion that You empower us to stand in. We stand on our faith in You and Your All Powerful Living WORD, the Bible. We know that this earth is not our final destination LORD. Your WORD says that we are but sojourners here and our lives are but a vapor now…but then begins eternity. We can spend our eternity with You. Jesus is the Way to You and eternity in Heaven where there is no more sadness and no more tears. We rebuke the devourer in Your Name Jesus, and You say when we do this, he must flee.
Let all of Your people know Jesus that You are the Only Answer. Call all of these, Your people unto You LORD. Let them know Jesus that You suffered more than us all so You would know our suffering, yet You were/are Perfect and never sinned. You were/are God and yet You chose to come to earth as Man and take on every one of our sins and sufferings. You alone conquered death, hell and the grave. You alone are King of kings, LORD of lords, Magistrate of magistrates, the One and Only Great Potentate! Glory to Your Name. Thank You in advance LORD God Almighty. In Jesus Precious Name I pray. Amen.
I wanted to actually start writing to you even at the time of this devastating tragedy and death which just occurred in my family. The reason for this is because like I mentioned previously; I want to write to “the one”, because I was, and now am again, “the one”, who suffers alone, who suffers silently. ‘The one’ who may not have the family and social support systems that are such an important blessing. ‘The one’ who is actually never alone because of the LORD Jesus Christ and His Power to heal, restore and change lives and His promise that He is with us always, even to the end of the age.
MATTHEW 28:20 “TEACH THESE NEW DISCIPLES TO OBEY ALL THE COMMANDS I HAVE GIVEN YOU. AND BE SURE OF THIS: I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE.” (nlt)
Even more than that, I mostly want to walk this out before you to show you the ultimate Grace and Supernatural Healing Love and Power of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to show you that we are not ‘victims’, we are ‘VICTORIOUS’ in CHRIST. This ‘trial’ although it is devastating will result in ‘TRIUMPH’ in CHRIST and this begins now!
This ‘test’ which now tears at the very core of your being and threatens to destroy you; will become your ‘TESTIMONY’ of how God Almighty will use this situation to redeem and restore you and your loved ones. This ‘tragedy’ will be just the ‘TRAJECTORY’ that God uses to not only propel you into your destiny and purpose but also to bring along the hurting and the broken hearted, the marginalized and the disenfranchised with you for God’s Glory! He truly is the Only Answer to every one of humanities problems.
JOHN 14:6 JESUS ANSWERED, “I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.” (niv)
Another reason that it is so important to me to share this season in my life with you is because I was far too broken to even imagine sharing my pain, grief, devastation, brokenness and shame 2 decades ago when my husband committed suicide. (God, in His Mercy and Grace has since restored me from that devastation.) Maybe that was an opportunity to reach out to someone or to several people that I missed. Maybe this is an opportunity of devastation to reach out to ‘the one’ or to the masses that I need to completely embrace for God’s glory.
Whatever God decides to do with this. I am only trying to be obedient and to represent Him correctly the way He chooses to be represented. I am only trying to reach out to His broken people. If I ever fail to represent Him correctly during this time of my brokenness, please know that I am apologizing and asking for forgiveness in advance. I am of course only a very imperfect human trying to bring glory and precious souls to a very Perfect LORD. Also know that the Holy Spirit will correct me. Only by His Grace and Mercy can I even begin to write this.

I suppose you have noticed that I have written down many Bible verses. Probably more than usual. This is because it is only through Jesus Christ and His WORD that I can expect to be healed. I am writing them as much for myself as I am for anyone who may also be reading these Words of Life. We are at this point, beginning our journey of healing together.
I will stop writing this particular letter for now even though I have so much more to share with you. I will continue with subsequent letters to you, very soon, so that I can relay more of my heartfelt healing testimony to you. Due to the fact that I have shared many Scriptures with you in this letter and we have prayed; I will not do that in the upcoming letters that will follow shortly. I will however continue praying and sharing Scriptures in future letters to you.
Until we talk again, I want you all to know that you and your families are always in my prayers. I love you all so very much and most importantly Jesus loves you. God bless you always.
