Father’s Priority: The Heart Such a Testimony of Love Pt 4

My Mom

Faith is a Gift.-Sign and wonders of my Father Almighty

There is so much that is given, shared by Father Almighty. I share many things in my writings, obviously these are on my own narrative, I share it as a testimony. This so you may share the marvels, the wonders of our Father Almighty… it fills my heart with light. It feels like He says in Genesis 1:3 NIV “3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” But this …in my everyday, in all circumstances.

It is unbelievable that in moments of most despair He is there, and in moments of happiness, joy He is there. His works in a natural phenomena, the beauty of a forest, a canyon, a brook, a sunset, the waters of the ocean, in humans and in animals. Romans 8:21 “21 that[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.”

My mother passed away this last Sunday, she spent the last four days in the hospital as I wrote before. Here is the thing, a testimony on the greatness of Father Almighty…I find it fascinating how God has always prepared everything, He aligns events in a way for you to see, hear or find wisdom and knowledge. It is on how Saturday, as I was driving to the hospital, many things happened…As I was driving there, there was a white heron in front of my car. I was in the middle lane in a red light, it stood in front of the car, took some time and looked back, displayed its wing and flew away. My thoughts were in making it to the hospital, so I did not pay much attention…but it did catch my eye. As I turned to park to go through the emergency room parking, I stopped to wait to see who pulled out. As I stood to wait, this little bird stood on the light pole where I was, it was singing and sort of whistling intoned…I though oh wow how beautiful. By then I started to remember the signs and wonder in the passing of her brother and sister, signs and wonders of events to take place.

As I witnessed and went in, she was being sent home for her last breath. This beautiful lady, my mom fought for everything and everybody, however, the most important for her was that my brother and I would not fight. We said our final good bye and her last breath she took, was when we, as brother and sister told her we would not fight but love and peace, that we were there for each other for all. We arranged everything, her tribute and honored her. We received 100 roses from Native, beautiful whitish cream flowers from Ecuador, a good froend of hers. Here is something that I want to share that is on my perspective, you may agree to disagree as every single person has their own way to grieve.
Sometime ago, in one of my writings that I shared I spoke about this specific point. We rejoice when a soul goes to heaven, because we know that Father Almighty has received one more daughter in his Hands, Angels and Heaven sings in happiness. We had our differences with my mom, we mended, and well we had every other moment but always forgiving, what I do know for sure is that for the past year and half we have prayed for her. Yet, I do know for certain she is in heaven watching over all her family as she did here. During her lifetime she travelled the globe, engaged in politics and business, and loved working hard to achieve her dreams and ambitions, including inspiring and supporting her family to succeed and to dare to dream big. This legacy will endure.

Key of knowledge,”Binding” and “loosing” a balanced spiritual perspective. It is “aligning one’s life with the Word of God and the will of God. It often emphasizes inner growth, self-awareness, and the pursuit of higher truths or spiritual experiences” Father Almighty, will always prepare us, he will always display signs and wonders that miss out on just to show us where and what to expect toward the main point,” “a promise to be preserved from a future period of tribulation.-(a period of trouble and suffering)”. Therefore, we do not bind(tie or fasten) to hold on, as a person passes away, in my heart I knew she was in peace…the white egret, the bird singing, binding a soul by our suffering, our sadness is holding that soul here with our sadness. Binding their suffering in my own situation as she had suffered much for her pain, when Father had displayed several things in my path. We are so thankful for the help of T.M Ralph Funeral home for all the help and guidance, we did a mass in St Benedicts Anglican Episcopal Church, which Father Albert Cutie(she adored him and his sermons) and it was in the Chapel, it was beautiful, the online crowd and the present loved the sermon and his beautiful brochure…so thankful for the ladies in the office and his and their love. As I arranged the roses, I thought I have to buy three sunflowers(From my two sons and myself), mom loved sunflowers. By the time I got to the chapel I had forgotten to buy them. However, the beauty came during the week, we shared with my brother a walk at the beach the day after the chapel service. I walked in her white sandals as requested, walked in the water as the water came in and out, I stood for a moment and asked Father and in response I have a beautiful picture and an answer… she made it and is here with me and with all her family…all I said was I love you and know you are in peace. As we walked back, I extended my arms, cutting anything binding and loosing everything here on earth so it may not be bound in heaven but loose to rejoice, felt peace beyond borders and left with a smile on my face, with a beautiful picture that I will display. Again, we all have our own way of grieving and I respect everybody’s timing, I am just sharing my own testimony.
As I came to change and get ready for the things that we still needed to do, my ex-hubby who lives with me had arrived from South America and was catching up with all. I had brought some things from mom. He mentioned He would by a frame to place a letter she had , that she treasured. Here is the most interesting point of all. If she wanted to send a message…well it was loud and clear. Eduardo had bought a frame and as I looked at something black on his bed…I asked what is that, he answered the frame for your mom’s things. Oh, I said…as I lifted it up..,by the way I will answer that Eduardo knew nothing about the bird nor sunflowers. So, as I was saying…I took the frame turned it around and guess what…Picture frame had its price displayed on the picture in it. As I looked at the dummy picture….there it was a sunflower and a tiny bird that stood next the sunflower, which was the same bird singing on the pole by the ER entrance. I knew that she had made it and she is singing in joy with my generations. My calendar had fallen down, and we had been doing so much that I had not arranged my house and on top it flooded as the third floored poured down water to the rest of the apartments, so arranged flowers with 4 big machines and small machines all over the apartment. The maintenance and “W”as it read in their shirts Westward Company did a good job containing the water that would have been worse. So, as I picked up my calendar, to place it against the wall. I picked up reorganizing my desk…opened it to October and a beautiful black kitty displayed. My aunt (her sister, who I loved as a mother)when she passed, The day she passed my aint…I had to go to work and took another aunt with me, as we were leaving a black kitty jumped on us from the roof(Black cats are good cats by the way)So I definitely know that my aunt with the confirmation right in front of me, is with her, as well as the rest brothers and sisters.
I love to remind my family and close by friends tears, forgiveness, kindness within your capacity is when you are alive, do not hold on to the ribbon or the string that holds the balloon but let it go so peace may be found, holding on brings sadness to the departed soul maintaining it, as they worry for your well being. My own POV.

All I can say is that my heart is filled of Joy, suffering is over and the love of Father Almighty just does wonders and He is amazing and He prepares the way here and there displaying so much information… we just have to open our eyes, be open. As I was starting to write, yesterday I found Joels Osteen book called No More Fear, loved some parts that where highlighted by Father.– There is an “addition” in our testimonies, in our hope and everyday our faith is “multiplied”, as it is multiplied you are “catapulted ahead”, presented in “circumstances in the natural”even the “supernatural”. There is “no limits” for Father Almighty, there is “no limits” to what He can and will do for us and he can “thrust you into a new level” filled with signs, and shifts whether it is in you life, marriage, providing solutions for what you think is unsolvable, everything “shall pass”, fear, difficulties, uncertainty, He can and will deliver us from every difficulty, from every uncertainty, take us away from being afraid , bringing “peace in our soul and arm us for the battle”. He will bring “fuel for our faith” , “the right attitude, the Victory, bringing us from Glory to Glory, His Favor displayed”, letting you know that greatness is waiting for you.

I am definitely not saying that it is not hard, as a loved one departs, it is hard to let loose, or let go but, for myself it is a tribute, an honor, a joy that one feels in the midst of any storm. Only prayer, only time with him, fasting with guidance and love can provide this beautiful sensation of just love. Here something a brother from our community said always have your sister mother or brother to be guiding. As where there are two or more praying God listens and answers, and from Fathers word “4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father”

2 Peter 1NIV

1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Confirming One’s Calling and Election
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control;and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Chapter 3 Removing the Veil
“The greatest fact of the tabernacle was that Jehovah was there; a Presence was waiting within the veil. Similarly the Presence of God is the central fact of Christianity. At the heart of the Christian message is God Himself waiting for His redeemed children to push in to conscious awareness of His Presence. That type of Christianity which happens now to be the vogue knows this Presence only in theory. It fails to stress the Christian’s privilege of present realization. According to its teachings we are in the Presence of God position, ally, and nothing is said about the need to experience that Presence actually. The fiery urge that drove men like McCheyne is wholly missing. And the present generation of Christians measures itself by this imperfect rule. Ignoble contentment takes the place of burning zeal. We are satisfied to rest in our judicial possessions and for the most part we bother ourselves very little about the absence of personal experience.
Who is this within the veil who dwells in fiery manifestations? It is none other than God Himself, “One God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible,” and “One Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God; begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God; begotten, not made; being of one substance with the Father,” and “the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified.” Yet this holy Trinity is One God, for “we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: the glory equal and the majesty coeternaI.” So in part run the ancient creeds, and so the inspired Word declares.
Behind the veil is God, that God after Whom the world, with strange inconsistency, has felt, “if haply they might find Him.” He has discovered Himself to some extent in nature, but more perfectly in the Incarnation; now He waits to show Himself in ravishing fulness to the humble of soul and the pure in heart.
The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the, Church is famishing for want of His Presence. The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence in spiritual experience, to become suddenly aware that we are in God and that God is in us. This would lift us out of our pitiful narrowness and cause our hearts to be enlarged. This would burn away the impurities from our lives as the bugs and fungi were burned away by the fire that dwelt in the bush.
What a broad world to roam in, what a sea to swim in is this God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is eternal, which means that He antedates time and is wholly independent of it. Time began in Him and will end in Him. To it He pays no tribute and from it He suffers no change. He is immutable, which means that He has never changed and can never change in any smallest measure. To change He would need to go from better to worse or from worse to better. He cannot do either, for being perfect He cannot become more perfect, and if He were to become less perfect He would be less than God. He is omniscient, which means that He knows in one free and effortless act all matter, all spirit, all relationships, all events. He has no past and He has no future. He is, and none of the limiting and qualifying terms used of creatures can apply to Him. Love and mercy and righteousness are His, and holiness so ineffable that no comparisons or s figures will avail to express it. Only fire can give even a remote conception of it. In fire He appeared at the burning bush; in the pillar of fire He dwelt through all the long wilderness journey. The fire that glowed between the wings of the cherubim in the holy place was called the “shekinah,” the Presence, through the years of Israel’s glory, and when the Old had given place to the New, He came at Pentecost as a fiery flame and rested upon each disciple.
