Why I No longer Vaccinate: A Veteran’s Story

As I sit here, staring at the screen, thinking of a possible engaging introduction to this blog post, I ponder on the title that I have chosen, thinking of my time back in the military, and the fresh aspirations I had as a young woman, 18, joining the US Air Force. Some of the memories are vivid, and some, just as the aging of time, slowly have faded from my mind.

I chose the above picture for this blog post because I see myself as as a young Airman, being held up by the wing of a C-130, dedicating my life to “service before self, and excellence in all that I do”, while all around me surrounds the dark clouds that I was seemingly unaware of.

The thought of a US government causing harm to it’s military members was never a thought that had entered my mind, as I was quite ignorant on the ways of the world, and the perpetual evil that lurked about within it’s shadows. Continue reading “Why I No longer Vaccinate: A Veteran’s Story”

Baptism of Fire and the Gift of Tongues-My Testimony

The gift of speaking in tongues is very real, just like all other gifts of the Spirit, and brings edification not only to the individual, but others within the Body of Messiah. I find it to be a wonderful gift, especially during times of difficulty, as well as a powerful weapon within spiritual warfare.

Many of those who do not understand this gift,  often bash, ridicule, or simply don’t believe in the gifts of the Spirit.   Their mind tries to understand something that has to be reconciled with the heart, and revealed through the Spirit. Then there are others who have this gift, and then yet, condemn others who do not, saying it is a sign of their salvation. This is false, and again, another matter of the heart.

There is indeed a demonic version, that is also manifested in other religions, as satan enjoys to take what is holy and pure, and twist and distort it. This also is manifested within many churches and because of this many are ignorant to the true gift.

I hope all who are seeking, find this to be a blessing for their weary heart, as often times my heart was and can be so burdened, that my own earthly language could not express the depths of my soul.  Being able to pray as the Spirit gives you utterance, is wonderful rest for a weary heart and essential during tumultuous times.  May this glorify our God and Saviour Yeshua/Jesus.

Abortion: Forgiveness and Healing

Some things we can hold to our shame, or we can allow it to bring glory to Yah(God):
 
Many years ago (approx. 13), I helped to commit murder.
 
About 5 years ago, I was sitting in my living room, and I began to cry, uncontrollably for sometime. This went on for about a week. In my anguish, I cried out to Abba, “Why do I feel as if I am mourning?” “Why am I weeping so?”

Depression: Spiritual Roots and Healing

The Lord, Yeshua/Jesus, My Elohim(God) has healed me of my depression, helped in my self-image, as well as healing and restoration with forgiveness and submission.
 
I was healed of my depression that I was diagnosed with when I was very young, as I had briefly mentioned within my Testimony.  I have been completely healed and off of medication for 5 years! This did however take laboring on my part, but it was ultimately Yeshua who healed me.  Depression was just a symptom of deeper rooted issues.

Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit

November 27, 2015

Yesterday was a real blessing for our family, as we were able to bless many others. Almost 3 years ago when the Lord brought us here to CA, we were confronted with the dire need of homeless and poor that surrounded us. The Lord had placed the scripture verse of Matthew 5:3 ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’, in my heart and over the years it has continued to give deeper understanding and application.

The People Sat in Darkness and Saw a Great Light

October 3, 2016

I love the Word of Yah…I love how I study one area, and then the Spirit of Yah leads me in a different area, and I am left standing in just utter awe, and brings tears of joy….I will share with you all:

I came across this:

Matthew: 4:12And יהושע, having heard that Yoḥanan had been put in prison, withdrew into Galil.
13And leaving Natsareth, He came and dwelt in Kephar Naḥum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zeḇulun and Naphtali,
14TO FILL WHAT WAS SPOKEN BY YESHAYAHU(ISAIAH) THE PROPHET SAYING, 
15“Land of Zeḇulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Yardĕn, Galil of the gentiles –
16THE PEOPLE WHO SAT IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND UPON THOSE WHO SAT IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, LIGHT AROSE TO THEM.” (Quoting from Isa 9:1-2)
17From that time יהושע began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has drawn near.”(ISR 98) Continue reading “The People Sat in Darkness and Saw a Great Light”

Help me to feed those in need this day

May 13, 2014

I need to share an amazing story that just happened: So, Tony and I make bags for the homeless and I keep a few in my car usually at all times. Well I had put 3 in my car yesterday, and today I was out getting my hair done and running errands when I prayed to Jesus that he use me, that He help me feed a person today that needed to be fed, that if I needed to pray over someone that He would give me the words to speak life.

True Freedom

September 12, 2016

There is a song that I sometimes sing, that many of you may know and it goes something like this “My chains are gone, I’ve been set free, my God, My Savior has ransomed me, and like a flood His mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing grace”

It had me thinking about one of the things I came to realize while being in the military, that being the illusion of freedom. Continue reading “True Freedom”
