How “not to tame” the Rabbit

In this age of rising cults and metaphysical agenda’s and in efforts to “increase their kingdom” many are being mislead about Reiki, Kundalini, Kabbalah and physic gifts. First we must realize that these religious traditions are used often in witchcraft. The metaphysical concepts of visualization to manifest in reality soon lead to concepts that we are gods.

So what we have in this age are occult groups rising up and claiming the embrace Christ as an ascended Master but in reality are more metaphysical and leaning towards witchcraft. Some of those groups are the Ascended Masters and Rosicrucian's;

 

The Rosicrucians are an occult sect originating in either the 15th or 17th century, depending on which account you accept. The latter is the more plausible and involves the 1610 publication by Johann Valentine Andrea of a work called Fama Fraternitatis, which purported to be a history of a society of mystical healers begun by the German scholar Christian Rosenkreuz. Though this "history" was later admitted to be a complete fabrication, the concept of a brotherhood of men interested in science, medicine, and occultism was a fashionable one at the time and took root in Germany; the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross spread also to England.

The history of this movement becomes vague after the end of the 17th century, and little is known of it until 1866, when modern Rosicrucianism was organized as a branch of Freemasonry. It spread from England to the United States and then back to Continental Europe, and by the end of the 19th century, Rosicrucians had established numerous lodges, colleges, and regional headquarters throughout the Western world.

Rosicrucian theology is vague and undefined. It has borrowed certain Christian concepts while rejecting others, viewing "all things as complicitly and ideally in God" and tending toward a kind of pantheism. Here there are similarities (unsurprisingly) with the occultic religion of upper-level Freemasonry. Despite their name, the Rosicrucians are not a Christian denomination, nor even a quasi-Christian sect; a Catholic should have nothing to do with them.

There are many other occult groups out their including, Actuaries’, Pleiadians, Sirius and Orion’s who are also parts of these magical cults. Some others included Ascended Masters and Vril Occults etc.

It’s important to understand the full impact of what this means, first if you’re a Christian your enemy number 1 with the exception of Ascended Masters. Along with these paths comes mystical divination via tarot cards, clairvoyance and large amounts of witch craft arts. Channeling spirits, angels etc.

Some of these occult groups are pure Black Arts which is Luciferian. This means you will be entertaining demons and other underworld creatures. The Dark side of Magic also has clairvoyance.

This means those who practice dark arts will connect with you physically and attack you, they use all these skills to project negative results. They speak to you in your thoughts, also they come as a twin flame and alchemy wedding. This will be used to initiate you into their cult and well, you become a Satanist.

One must be very careful about participation in these paths, you don’t know who has performed Kundalini on you. Apparently those practicing the dark arts don’t seek your permission.

In all things one must recognize the path of our Father and those that are designed to lie to you and lead you into something you really don’t want. The children or God also experience visions and dreams and spirit language from true angels and sometimes the Holy Spirit, Christ and GOD themselves. One must stay very grounded with the armor of GOD otherwise dark energies will try to derail you. If you remotely suspect negative coming at you, know higher consciousness does not have negative aspects. I would increase my amour in God by fasting, doing temple work and baptism. This has actually been going on for ages where Black Witches use Psychic skills against others and via projected images and clairvoyance attempt to be as demons.

 

The last thing you want to do is give into this psychic warfare, they will play on every aspect of your personality trying you and looking for a weakness in which they want to convince you that you are god and there is no GOD and all of Christianity is some grand lie. This is the game, they are lying and trying to move you away from the true light. DON’T give in or they will convince you that you are bound to them. I can assure you Christ and God know exactly what’s going on and people like myself need to speak up. Many people feel they can’t win this or get away from this, this is not true.

I was lead to this scripture;

Ezekiel 4:9-17

9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches,  and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. 10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. 11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. 12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 13 And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. 14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth. 15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: 17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.

Why did God instruct Abraham to sacrifice Isaac?

First, let’s explore the customs and traditions of ancient times and their sacrifices.

Human sacrifice was not unknown in the ancient Near East, though early examples of it are rare. A "substitute king" seems to have been sacrificed in Mesopotamia at the end of his brief "reign." Prisoners or foreigners were sacrificed at the dawn of Egyptian history, but the practice died out early. While skeletons of infant children have been found buried in the floors of Palestinian houses, this doesn't prove child sacrifice. But human sacrifice does seem to have been practiced by the "Sea Peoples" who settled along the coast -- Phoenicians and Canaanites. In the sanctuary of Tanit at Carthage, archaeologists have discovered urns containing burnt bones of lambs and goats, and more often, of children, where the sacrifice of the finest children is attested in 310 BC. Two steles from Malta from the seventh or sixth century BC indicate that child sacrifice was practiced. Philo of Byblos says that the Phoenicians had an ancient custom -- "they offered their dearest children in a way full of mystery" when danger threatened the nation. In Bible times, the King of Moab offered his son as a burnt offering when his capital was under siege (2 Kings 3:27).

This Canaanite and Phoenician practice came into Israel under apostate kings when Ahaz "made his son pass through the fire" (2 Kings 16:3) and Manasseh did the same (2 Kings 21:6). The custom was probably fairly widespread, since it prompted condemnations of the practice in the Bible (Leviticus 18:21; 20:2-5; Deuteronomy 18:10; 2 Kings 17:17; 21:6; 2 Chronicles 28:3; 23:10; Psalm 106:37-38; Jeremiah 19:4-5; 32:35).

But Abraham didn't have the benefit of God's revelation to Moses and the prophets, of the Old Testament scriptures. All he knew was that child sacrifice was practiced by some of the Canaanites. Instead of being morally incensed by the practice (as we are, with our knowledge of God's revealed will), Abraham had no option but to believe that God seriously demanded that he sacrifice his son as a "burnt offering," that is, a sacrifice that is fully consumed by the fire upon the altar.

And so Abraham prepared to go to "the region of Moriah." In the only other occurrence of this place name in the Old Testament it refers to Jerusalem, a city built upon several hills on the ridge of the north-south mountain chain.

"Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David" (2 Chronicles 3:1).

We're not sure what the name Moriah means, but it may be something like "my teacher is Yah" or "the land which is the king's."

You can read further about ancient practices of human sacrifice here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice

Further many occultist still practice this abomination, you can read about this crap here: http://usminc.org/humansacrifice.html

Not only do we have a clearer picture of what the world was like in this age but we also can obtain a higher understanding of what a truly loving God was facing in his attempts to bring his children of the world to a higher walk in compassion.

So the actual sacrifice is recording as follows:

Abraham is living near a well at Beer-sheba on the edge of the Negev desert at the southern extremity of Canaan (20:33-34; 22:19). Here in Beer-sheba he had "called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God" (21:33) and here in Beer-sheba God speaks to him a fearful word.

"Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, 'Abraham!'

'Here I am,' he replied.

Then God said, 'Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.'"

There is no mistake about who this is who is speaking to him. Abraham has heard God's voice many times during his lifetime. He knows the voice. It is not the voice of an enemy, but a friend. But the message must have brought agony to Abraham's heart. We'll discuss the word "tested" (Hebrew nāsā) in verse 1 in a few minutes.

"By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, 'It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.' Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death." (Hebrews 11:17-19)

But this was no play-acting for Abraham, no "slam-dunk." He fully intended obey God -- but at the same time there were those promises pointing to Isaac. Somehow, he hoped and prayed, God would intervene.

Isaac was old enough to sense something amiss.

"Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, 'Father?'
'Yes, my son?' Abraham replied.
'The fire and wood are here,' Isaac said, 'but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?'
Abraham answered, 'God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.' And the two of them went on together."

 After preparations are made by establishing the sacrifice alter Abraham reaches for the knife. "Slay" (NIV, KJV) or "kill" (NRSV) is the Hebrew verb shāhat, "kill, slaughter." Rabbinic sources indicate that an animal to be sacrificed was killed in "the swiftest and most painless way possible, by cutting horizontally across the throat in an uninterrupted movement." In a moment, that is exactly what Abraham will do -- to his son!

But just before that point, the angel -- who now speaks with the voice of Yahweh -- stops Abraham.

"But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, 'Abraham! Abraham!'
'Here I am,' he replied.
'Do not lay a hand on the boy,' he said. 'Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.'"

God stops him from sacrificing Isaac on the altar, but not from worship:

"Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide (Yahweh-yir’eh). And to this day it is said, 'On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.'

Traditionally theologians equate this with God testing Abrahams faith so that Satan could not undermine him.  God also tests us in order to show off our character to others. Job doesn't understand why he was suffering, but in God's eyes, his faithfulness is a showpiece of character that Satan's attacks cannot undermine.

However if I have learned anything, the omnipresence of our Father and wisdoms are beyond ages and time, this event and words spoken would be eternally pregnant with omni-resonate meaning.

Here are several meanings which have grown from within me;

1.)    The first actual voice which commanded Abraham was not the voice of God but rather Satan or a lesser god which roamed the land attempting to manipulate Abraham and Gods promise of his seed, thus Gods voice again telling Abraham later to not slay Isaac.

2.)    Another view is that God used this opportunity to show Abraham that in fact he was a loving and merciful God and did not want human sacrifice like the other pagan gods demanded throughout the world.

3.)    Finally I resolved that the great I AM hated the sacrifices all together because he created all things including the animals and the sacrifice of Isaac was an illustrations of how one would feel if their own children were sacrificed, that it would not be pleasing but rather disturbing and disheartening. I have to lean to this truth within the event as well since the mission of Christ himself was to be the final sacrifice and end all sacrificial rituals.

So as you can see, logically all these lessons are present in this one event. May God bless you and may you achieve his profound wisdom in your heart!

ARC of the Covenant

Many eons have passed and the mystery of the Arc of the Covenant remain. For centauries many have attempted to find this mysterious arc with its ornate golden cherubim know to contain the “ten commandments pillars” inside. But what of the arc was not an object at all, what if the object or container itself was not really the arc but just a symbol of the event. The event when Moses spoke to God. What is the name referring to by using the word “arc”? Was it the “arc” the cherubim formed while GOD was speaking to Moses?

I believe the true arc of the covenant is something completely different and something no one expected though clues have been written.  I found the following information while doing a topical study;

According to one midrash (is the body of homiletic stories told by Jewish rabbinic sages to explain passages in the Tanakh. Midrash is a method of interpreting biblical stories that goes beyond simple distillation of religious, legal, or moral teachings. It fills in gaps left in the biblical narrative regarding events and personalities that are only hinted at.) , it would clear the path for the nation by burning snakes, scorpions, and thorns with two jets of flame that shot from its underside (T. VaYakhel, 7); another midrash says that rather than being carried by its bearers, the Ark in fact carried its bearers inches above the ground (Sotah 35a).

The relationship between the Ark and the shekhina (means literally to settle, inhabit, or dwell)  is reinforced by the recurring motif of clouds. God's presence is frequently seen in the guise of a cloud in the Bible (Ex. 24:16), and the Ark is constantly accompanied by clouds: When God spoke from between the Cherubs, there was a glowing cloud visible there (Ex. 40:35); when the Jews traveled, they were led by the Ark and a pillar of clouds (Num. 10:34); at night, the pillar of clouds was replaced by a pillar of fire, another common descriptor of God's appearance (Ex. 24:17); and when the High Priest entered presence of the Ark on Yom Kippur, he did so only under the cover of a cloud of incense, perhaps intended to mask the sight of the shekhina in all its glory.

The Shekhinah is a Talmudic concept representing God's dwelling and immanence in the created world. It is through the Shekhinah that humans can experience the Divine. God's Presence, Kingdom.

Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness. For a tent was prepared, the first section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence. It is called the Holy Place. Behind the second curtain was a second section called the Most Holy Place, having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.

 

I believe the actual “ARC” of the covenant is an arc of light that acts as a barrier against all outside forces while GOD is communicating with his children. Those who have entered the promise of a covenant and are faithful and true to the promises made unto our father can and will be able to meet out Father face to face. His face will manifest in the clouds or some other type of creations nature.

I say this out of experience from an event that happened to me back in the year 2000, while outside praying I entered a state of immense joy, the kind of joy where your smiling from ear to ear and don’t even know you’re doing it. When I looked up in the clouds I saw an ARC of light over me, in the clouds I saw and image of GOD familiar with those images on earth where artist have depicted Gods image. While in this “arc” I was communicating without Father, there were no words but rather just “knowing” what was being communicated. What was shown to me at that time I thought was personal but as this event continued to grow and resonate (as any communication with GOD would for he is omnipresent) I realized it was for the whole world. This language of knowing prompted me to look to the right. When I did I saw a face of what would appear to be like a villain from and old movie, I accepted that as “evil” being after me. I didn’t seem to care about that evil for I knew that GOD was with me.

I believe we are at an age in time that all of us must be cautious about this villain consuming us on earth. Reach higher family of angels, be conscious of yourselves and do your best to make this a better world for all.

GOD has spoken.     

Manna from Christ

One of my many rocks of visions and love received from the highest of Kingdoms. I was in my 30’s that I found myself beginning to walk deeply with the Holy Spirit. It took a lot of learning and evolving in my spirit to get to this point. I naturally inclined to a inner wisdom of gift given to those on the other side. My inner joy was so abundant that I wanted to give Christ a gift on his birthday (spring). I wrote him a letter of love and gratitude and I honored the color of purple and copper. I struggled with what to give he that owns all things, Christ already owned my heart and love. It came upon to that I should give him something rare and wonderful on earth. I decided to give him chocolate . . . this was something I enjoyed much here on earth. So I left the gift upon my table and prayed over it with love and an extension of gratitude and went to bed.

For some reason, out of nowhere I pondered what it is that I would like to have. The first thing I thought of was Manna. At this point in my life I had done no topically study on manna nor did I understand the biblical descriptions of manna. I only knew it was referred to as angel food.

About two weeks passed and then one night, while I was deeply asleep came a vision. This vision was clear as day as if it were in real life. I remember all of a sudden I appeared in this place with two female angels next to me, one to the right and one to the left. They implored me to be humble and quiet and maintain a position of reverence. On my knees and my head down and my hands in prayer. I looked upon their faces and saw they were dark skinned and dressed in white, they did not have wings.

While I maintain this position and not sure of what was going on, I found myself that it was okay to know look up. I looked and I saw a table that appeared to be covered in a table cloth. Upon this table was a small white box, these hands that appeared just like the Hands of Christ and his robe fully stretching down his forearm, reached over this box and pulled the ribbon open and moved out of place yellow tissue to reveal what appeared to be a white cake like food. Almost looked equivalent to what we have today in coconut cake.

I found myself feeling so humbled and honored as I gracefully floated back to my body. I awoke the next morning in awe and feeling loved beyond measure, surprisingly and unexpectedly.

Giving gifts to those on the other side is something we don’t conceive that we can do hear in the physical but it is an ancient practice. Most of those who brought offerings to those grave sides or tombs where doing the same thing. Leaving a gift in the coffin of a loved one is a great way to express love and appreciation for their souls and beings and revere the gifts they bestowed upon you in life. Each of our lives are a gift to another and all those who have had the pleasure to meet and know are also your gift.  

Let’s not forget to give our loving Father and Christ gifts also, they are received and appreciated. Gifts are giving out of love … Amen.

Why did GOD allow Chrsit to die by Crucifixion ?

I think theologians have contemplated this question for ages. Why would not our loving Father save Christ from this most terrible fate?

I can barely stand to think of the crucifixion myself. This age was so horrible, crucifixion and impaling was the most extreme punishment for crimes. Why would a prophet or the son of God ever earn such a sentence. Rome was the most brutal of empires giving birth to some of the most evil leaders and rulers whom were referred to Draconian.  Domitian, Septimius Severus, Maximinus Thrax,  Diocletian,  Tiberius, Nero, Caracalla, Commodus,  Elagabalus and Caligula.
                                                                       http://listverse.com/2010/05/09/top-10-worst-roman-emperors/

When Jesus was born (approximately 5 BC) the Roman emperor was Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus who reigned until 14 AD. At the time of crucifixion and death (approximately 30 AD) the Roman emperor was Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus who reigned until 37 AD. The Roman emperors would have most likely worshiped pagan gods. Roman religion was a mix of various religious traditions from places such as Greece and Egypt. Mystery religions dedicated to various deities were also popular in the Empire at the time of Jesus.

The Roman empire was in the first few centuries AD expansionist and in its conquests accommodated new cults and philosophies from different cultures, such as the Persian cult of Mithraism, the Egyptian cult of Isis and Neo-Platonism, a Greek philosophical religion.
Paganism was never, then, a unified, single religion, but a fluid and amorphous collection. But it would also be a mistake to describe Roman religion as an easy, tolerant co-existence of cults. ‘Toleration’ is a distinctly modern, secular idea. The emperor Constantine converted the main religion of Rome to Christianity in, or about, 312 AD.

His understanding of Christianity was, at the stage of his conversion, unsophisticated. He may not have understood the implications of converting to a religion which expected its members to devote themselves exclusively to it.
However, what was certainly established by the early fourth century was the phenomenon of an emperor adopting and favoring a particular cult. What was different about Constantine’s ‘conversion’ was merely the particular cult to which he turned – the Christ-cult – where previous emperors had sought the support of pagan gods and heroes from Jove to Hercules.

Given the timeline of events and occurrences on can see the pattern emerge, though time itself played a role. The persecution and crucifixion of Christ and a grand scale purpose in illuminating the wickedness of Rome and their Rulers and their religious practices.  Illuminating the corruption of the Jewish High Priest (Pharisees).

This is why Christ received the most brutal of sentences, moving away from mainstream explanations "by the blood of Christ" we are healed. By the blood of Christ the world changed. The execution and death of Christ was the very path which the main Christian faith and church rose from, which lead to its dominance world wide.

PURPOSE!

A HUG FROM GOD

Through out time, I've been blessed with experiences that are nothing short of total "awe".

This particular one, although brief, was the pinnacle of LOVE. Feeling exhausted from all life's responsibilities, I remembering talking to GOD in my thoughts and telling him how badly I needed a hug.  

I remember sitting at my computer and my dog "Kevin" was next to me at my feet. Just out of nowhere, I began to feel like this vortex of energy just swirling around me. Instantaneously and enormous amount of joy just came over me, smiling from ear to ear and not knowing why. This tingling sensation came over my whole body and I felt light as air. I recall  not sure how to act but just enjoying this amazing feeling. Do I keep working on my computer or do I stop?? It was so amazing, my dog "Kevin" was just staring at me, all I could do is pet him and smile at him. I often wonder if he saw something?

This feeling lasted about 10 minutes and was just pure joy the whole time. I call this a hug from GOD because just as I asked for it, it happened, and just when I needed it most.

Don't ever forget to ask our Father for a hug, sometimes the simplest things are granted so beautifully and freely. He is with us, next to us and contemporary to our immediate needs now. AMEN

RIDING OUT THE STORM

The storms in life can rise without warning and change lives and inner world. Being on the West Coast hurricanes are always a concern.

Being really exhausted from working so hard for this company I was with, deadlines were so intense it was almost impossible to take a whole week off at a time. I prayed to Father to come rescue me, send a hurricane or something. Shortly after that prayer I had a vision of a beach type man with his shirt unbuttoned driving a 66 Chevy Chevelle (blue) driving down I-45 coming to rescue me. Couldn't help but bust out with a big smile.

Several years ago, we peoples here in Houston were expecting a big hurricane ... his name was IKE. Houstonians watched the weather channel furiously, all anticipated a category 4 hurricane.

All people scurried, bought candles rented generators, bought bottled water and batteries. Every shelf was emptied, no bread, no water hardly any canned goods. I to was preparing, many prepared to leave town as the weather reports became more intense. Predications showed the eye of the storm to make landfall in Matagorda, just and hour southwest from the outskirts of Houston. That's like an upper cut punch in the face ... I knew this was going to be bad. I've lived in Houston for over 40 years and never such an intense storm hit. The last was Carla in 1936.

I didn't plan on leaving but was pressured from family members. My plan was to take the kids and hunker down at the local elementary school. I had animals too that I was concerned for, had a Great Dane and four snoodles. The family pressure from the ex's side became intense, I watched the weather channel and prayed with all my heart "Father, I know I asked for a storm but I don't want anyone hurt. Please break down this storm and decapitate it into nothing.

All of Houston was praying also, unawares much the same as my prayer. Back to the weather reports they now moved the storm to make landfall right on the gulf coast in Galveston and stated the eye was going to come straight down I-45.

My ex became insane with his aggression and instituted I leave with the kids and go to East Texas, Tyler where its much further away. I gave in and loaded the kids, the Great Dane and my snoodles all in my little Geo Sedan. Was advise to take the tollway up to I-45, so I followed planned. What my ex didn't know was the tollway to I-45 was closed. I had to exit and get unto I-45 ... traffic was at a stand still. People turning their cars off and in a standstill. Running out of gas, gas stations were backed up for miles and running out of gas. I move a quarter of a mile in and hour. My AC begin to just blow warm air, everyone was sweating and the Dane was drawling over all of us.

I had hade it! I took the next exit and got to the nearest pay phone so my son could call his Dad and tell him of the conditions of the road with all the evacuees. He got mad at my son and told him the hurricane split into two eyes. My son was so freaked out, I went back to my original plan and headed home, going to go to the local school for shelter. We arrived home at 3:00AM in the morning and I was exhausted. I watched the weather channel more and now predictions stated the storm was downgraded to a Category 2. I've been through a Category 3 storm and even though its a bit frightening I knew it was survivable. I told my ex this and he became furious, told me he didn't want his kids and danger an accused me of being negligible and irresponsible. I was so upset because I have taken good care of the children and always made informed decisions.

My ex's girlfriend was going to Tyler too and my ex talked to my son and essentially emotionally bullied him into coming. So my son who was 14 at the time, went with her down I45. He told me later it took them 24 hours just to get out of Houston .

The weather reports began to change completely, now the storm was dimensioning all together, completely breaking down except for the eye which was now just a pocket of strong wind with a some rain and lighting. Now they predicted that this would travel up through Northern Texas and go through Tyler. They received fierce winds and rain, hail and lighting with numerous trees snapped in half. Peoples here in Houston didn't even get any rain, but Houston learned they needed a better evacuation plan, much good came from it.

Through the storm, literally and emotionally GOD heard our plea, he changed all things in the wake of an enormous disaster and also set right those wrongs that were impressed upon myself from my ex because of his fear. I trusted GOD with all of it, not one soul was harmed.

AMEN
