Dear Friends

I was on a water-only 3-day fast. I did this from time to time to search His Word and get a better meaning from my King James Bible. Also, from time to time, an answer to a deeply pondered question. Nowadays, my body’s chemistry prevents fasting.

So, on August 15th, 1990, early morning, I sat down in my chair and opened my Bible to The Gospel of St. Mark. My eyes fell upon chapter 7. As I read God’s Word, I came across in red letter all the things that ’out of the heart of a man that defile and proceeds from the mouth.’ I mulled over this list and said, “Not so, LORD.” “Some I have not done.” But in that instant, I gathered all that was listed within my heart, as my own. Those few seconds, my whole self was overwhelmed with a pure sensation of a warming and a gentling of the soul. A comfort and peace of mind and body. At the same time, for those 3 seconds, the sun pierced thru that overcast morning. During the rest of that foggy day, there was not another burst of sunshine, and the day did not turn sunny. Like an affirmation of those 3 seconds of the sun shining combined within my renewal.

My whole being has continued to be a lightening, since that morning, and still to this very day. A pureness of the senses throughout my inner being. To know Jesus Christ again at that second and continued for years is a source of strength, continuing of all the hardships that I mete so far in my whole life. I am born again – renewed in life. And my trials and tribulations may be enduring, but overall accepting within Our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen😊

The Gospel According to Mark 7:20 – 23, KJV - English Standard Version

Being in Winnemucca for over 30 years has been very rewarding. Moving here has been an eye-opening and rewarding experience as well. It was not so from the beginning. My husband came to me on 3 separate occasions saying, “God wants us to move to Winnemucca.” On his 3rd time saying that to me, I said, “God doesn’t talk to you, He talks to me.” My husband just smiled. I then went on a water-only, week-long fast to prove to myself and to my husband that we should stay where we are. So, turning to God’s Word, red letter, ‘flee to the mountains,’ was the verse I read. I then told God, “If you want me to go to Winnemucca, I have a list of 10 wants and needs that You have to do for me in order. One was being married in the church; one was needing $250.00 to allow our 3 children to go on the church’s retreat, one was giving away our upright piano, and then the last one was to sell our home in a timely way to coincide with the purchase of our home in Winnemucca. Which was prayed on again, by me, and the LORD said, ‘flee to the mountains,’ Which was stated in another red letter Gospel.

As before the early morning departure to Winnemucca…I turned to His Word…reading again…’ flee to the mountains.’

Well, here we are…

With all the praying that I have done and the asking of God through Jesus, the miracles of my life from Him continue on. When two or three are gathered together in His Name, we are granted all we petition and pray for, of total Faith, of total Obedience, of total Hope, with a double portion of all we ask for; we are given all the free Gift of Grace allows. God’s Sovereignty, His Kingly Rule, decides our fate. Our free will, when it is not from God, puts into action negative results, and then pinned on God why such things happen to us. It is also bewailed and lamented as to why some die young and helpless. Searching the soul of souls, God gathers them into His Arms as His Chosen Lambs into a special selection because He Loves them more. This leaves us heartbroken and confused, and at times, cursing God with the question of, “Why?” Our hard-hearted thoughts that are against God are understandable by Him. Which eventually brings us closer within His Care. If not, we die in bitter denial. Never finding The Love of Our God. Search your heart and come back to God.
