Mana Gets Interrumped

New Home with New Headaches

Just days into the new home, legal documents come. Potiphar's and wife wanted more money from me and full custody of my child.

Nevertheless, the Good Lord God Almighty has, as usual, His angels all over. I was assigned a case worker at the local Veteran's Administration Department that was a JAG in the military. So, he helped me on how to contest the legal proposal and all I had to do was to faithfully wait for the day of the hearing and I asked for a phone conference instead of being in person due to the locations. Potiphar is in the Northwest coast of the country, while I am towards the Northeast of the US.

So, my next move? You guessed it...

I waited patiently because I knew that the miracle was coming. I was a bit doubtful but kind of confident. Yeap! Hard to explain. It was a mixture of emotions, feelings, faith and anything you can think of all together and at the same time. 

Then, the time came.....

I called ahead of time. I had to call again. It was finally happening!

By the end of the call, with cell over my Bible...

The final outcome was not mine but the Lord's...

Still shared custody, no higher child support, longer visitation during the summer; yes, the full summer, and every other spring break and Christmas. 

I could have not done it on my own. Many people love to boast about all they can do and have done with such an ease. I on the other hand, I depend and rely and trust God.

The best way to live is under His constant Presence. So, you should give it a try and ......

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.

(paraphrased from Psalm 46:10)

Do You Know What You Are Worth?

After a wonderful service this very morning (03/05/17), and thinking of how my life has changed and all that is going on right now and researching; I can only write this:

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS

At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.

At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus. Unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.

Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails were driven into His wrist, not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist the tendon would tear and brake, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath.  

Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus, He had to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain, so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath.  Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage. 

Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours..

Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering?  A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. 

He was simply pouring water from his wounds.

From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body.  A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even larger nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp.  Most men would not have survived this torture. 

 

He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds.

The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters (just less than a gallon) of blood.

Jesus poured out all 3.5 liters of his blood. He had three nails hammered into his members, a crown of  thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.

All these, not to mention the humiliation He suffered after carrying his own cross for almost 2 miles, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones. (The cross was almost 66.14 lb of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).

 

Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to God.

So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation.

JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! 

For you, who now reads this, Yes He died for You. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).

  Accept the reality, the truth that 

JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.

God has plans for you to show others what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!

60 seconds with God...

For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take this opportunity! 

All you have to do is:

1.   Simply pray : Lord, you know the lives of all my loved ones.   I ask You to bless them in all things and make them prosperous. Take care of their families, their health, their work and all their future plans.  Lead them not into temptation, but deliver them from evil.  In Jesus' name, amen.

2.Then, tell about this message to whomever you wish.

3. Take a moment to thank and appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.

If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions.. He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): "Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whosoever denies me before others,  I also will deny before my Father in heaven".

  

Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my savior. He keeps me alive day and night.

Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me".   Philippians 4:13.

Mana Begins To Fall Out Of The Skies

So, 2016 started ok but right after summer, I leaped to another land. In this new land, I had spies and met some new people. I had people doing inside work for me and some departments were way more helpful than I had ever imagined. 

But remember that I mentioned my walls of Jericho and lack of provisions?

I can tell you, it is not good to argue with God!

He always wins, and He is always right. Remember I told you that I had found a church?

Well, the devil was definitely not happy about that one, for sure.

Well, before I knew it was that time of year......

So I was in the most difficult living conditions for that "white stuff". I became very sick and I was very cold. Until I could no more and the arguing began. Of course, my argument was valid to me but He just said, wait!

SERIOUSLY!   WAIT IS ALL I GET?

Yes, wait is what I got for real. God knows more than you and I can ever imagine. Doors began to open a little and I began praying and telling Him that I was going to trust in Him no matter what.

So, for Christmas time, God changed something like this...

into THIS!

God is faithful and He knows the plans that He has for all of us. Plans to prosper us and to give us hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

It has been since then that I began to say to my mind that no matter what, I will trust God. I tell Him daily through out the day, every day!

Through The Wilderness Part 2

New Horizons!

Tell me about "Big Goals" for a new year. {Ha, Ha, Ha} That was the least on my mind. Had an interesting job but just like the past few years, it did not last. Most were temporary jobs and when the contract ends, so do you. But my faith kept growing and I was so happy and complete that it was. I missed the person who held that "love window" I spoke to you about, but I had to keep living. It became very damaging to my life. So,.....

The time came where the visions and my wrestling with it for three days was pivotal. Finally decided to give it a blind GO and "take a leap of faith".

{It was more like a complete humongous jump}

So asking for directions to the Spirit, packing started. Before I knew it, what had been my place for twelve years. The place of that I wanted it be a new life and had become the darkest days of my life. Where Potiphar's wife (my ex husband) lied, Potiphar became the Egyptian father to Joseph (his back then mistress) and ruled the land (me). Yeap! It had become my Egypt!

I landed on what it still seems like the land of milk and honey. My promise land!

Don't be fooled, I had my battles. Jericho walls that I had to face. I even had my "spy" helping me with information. Finding new directions and places for me to worship and be completely in the "tabernacle". Until I finally found it:

Through The Wilderness

It has been the longest wilderness I have ever walked by. I have been away from bursting my heart, mind and soul on this place. However, I am trying to get back into writing to keep myself sane through my walk in life. 

It was three years ago, March 8th, 2014 to be exact. I have gone around circles I never wanted to go through again, revived my faith and went to a new level, opened my heart to love at a new level and started to try some accomplishments that still, after three years, have not completely flourished. Hey, but who knows? It might be around the corner....

During the painful part of 2014 with how Satan works to steal and destroy every Christian, I have had so many gains. I gained a different level of spiritual maturity. This has been a huge part of me now. The opened window to love was shattered and I might have played a big part in that. As a responsible adult, I have to admit that I was part of it. After the end of 2014 and beginning of 2015, I decided to let go of it and dedicate myself to live my life more in Christ. Besides, not having a computer to spill my thoughts, I began a new journey of pen and paper.



So far I have thirteen superior notebooks full of devotions, Scriptures and prayers.I have no idea of what I will do with them. This year, my goal has been to start the same way with the devotion and Scriptures, but this time adding commentaries as a deeper understanding of such Scriptures. Kind of like a study on God's word. It has not been easy because it is a lot more writing that I have time in the mornings for. So far, I have been comfortable since 2015 by writing and I am not dreading throughout the day anymore. I have to admit that at the beginning it was painful. I was tired throughout the day and would get sleepy however, it became a habit and I can get up at 4:30 am and spend two hours at it and then get ready for work and get on with my day. I definitely noticed that I felt more prepared to face circumstances throughout each day with more peace and sound minded.
