properly hearing God’s voice

I’ve been told to share more from my readings too. The challenges before me are really incredible, and I know my place. Now speaking to the homeless “tent-person” who told me the  new guest was drunk. I told her everyone has their crutch. Just like her own smoking was her crutch. And you will soon decide to save every dime you spend on cigarettes so once a month you can have a big steak in a fancy restaurant with a glass of wine. Yes, a hundred bucks a month on cigarettes so she could have some key lime pie with it too. “That’s where you got me adding the pie”

This is knowing my place in Jesus . . . Like here are some strong points to me personally from the second week of Exodus90 reading for me to do. I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ,  

God Gives Man His Strength

Day 7 | Exodus 3:7-22

God said to Moses, "I am who I am." And he said, "Say this to the sons of Israel, 'I am has sent me to you.'" God also said to Moses, "Say this to the sons of Israel, '

 Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

We have started here to bring you into this place and power that you have not understood. Of course, you have always been protected. Of Course, hundreds have tried to kill you, and hundreds more have tried to deceive you and get you moving in the wrong direction to bring your own destruction instead of the blessing and growth you have planned.

I get it! You only send me Angels! You’ve told me many times that so few can share and write with you as easily as I do. I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, 

 
 What your mother did to keep you safe teaching you to “ask for the Word” asking for Jesus, asking for Protection, Asking to BE WITH JESUS. You were very specific and focused for a very long time. These lessons and trust you had from your mother, were very powerful. You are up into action from the start, with some very old sacred laws of Divinity. This is what you did, like writing this blog to share the deep power and truths that you learned in Lent. Each Word connects and vibrates into deeper cohesion and resonance to the ancients beyond! Creating new community that only God will fully know and understand.I’m really working and trying to get in tune with all that I see before me! I knew from LENT, that I needed to start with Making my bed, weight-lift exercises, prayerline, JoyFM Prayers, bike ride, yoga, mangroves, Mass. . . Today was Saturday so I had no prayerline, but reading the last two days of Exodus90. Then doing this planting:

I realize these Mangrove Plantings are where I started in tending the Gardens for Jesus. The sixth day in Genesis God had created all the plants and animals and set Adam and Eve into the Garden and all things were good. I know this is where I belong, and this is where I need to return. As all things are good in the gardens when I accept our responsibility to love and tend for all the plants and animals.

What has happened is that mankind has chosen to dominate and destroy, instead of love and lead the as a shepherd or the father.

I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Chris, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ! 

Humility

Day 11 | Exodus 5:1-4

Each of us is a son of God, created in his image to live in his likeness. Each of us possesses many strengths, and as a result, pride is a constant temptation. When our pride grows, we defer more and more to our own impulses. The result is always our ruin. 

Number: Gospel & Reflection

Mark 3:13–19

According to Luke’s Gospel, Jesus “spent the night in prayer” (Luke 6:12) before he selected the twelve apostles. This proves the importance of prayer; without it, we cannot properly hear God’s voice and respond to his promptings. Then, our Lord specifically chooses twelve men to be his appointed representatives. Have you ever wondered why this number? What’s so significant about the number twelve?

When God initiates a name change in the scriptures, it usually signifies a unique change in mission for that person

The Relatives

Gospel & Reflection Mark 3:20–21

Jesus generates craziness around him because our world is broken and he is bringing in a power that transcends the world. Jesus is upsetting our human standards and expectations because he is the one truly new thing under the sun. We must respond to his message with repentance and belief

Wow, this is so powerful for me. I’ve realized that Covid brought me to Lent and Saint Raphael’s Catholic Church. I step away for the lies and greed of the american machine with my protestant father to the generosity and love of the divine mother and a new church. Where I am Rafé now after my mother’s father in Puerto Rico. . . 

Fixing a Broken World

This idea has followed me all my life. Wanting mankind to return to the Garden listening to the Lord, like Isaiah did to step into action as the Hands and Feet of Christ Jesus we are always called “Come now, let’s us set things Right!” (Isaiah 1:18).

It was only the beginning of the second week of Lent when Father Kevin brought my morning prayers to this exact focus and clarity with such strength and insight as he repeated the phrase: EACH ONE TEACH ONE… as part of his homily today.

When I find and open this again to write, I remember how my focus now is always all about Jesus. I can move and share in such power and focus staying in this Joy and Love with Jesus. Each day people make it easier and easier for me to step into these Higher Places of God's Presence. I realize that this is Our World, where I am creating more with Jesus, and everyone is helping me.

When Father Kevin presented this mass, I realized how important it was for me to take off my shoes to “practice what I preach.”  Yes, I took off my shoes that very moment, to escape the snake who has wrapped us all in plastic. Then after Mass, I walked up to him barefoot to thank him for my latest realization. 

Standing next to him at the entrance, I told him how my own knowledge to share was about escaping from the snake, where sickness and diseases are all man made. When we return to The Garden, we connect to the Earth's magnetism, where we all belong barefoot.  This fundamental for billions of years of life on Earth is necessary to regain our health sharing in the "electric current" passing through our bodies naturally connecting to Earth.

I told Fr. Kevin how the magnetism of my heart connected to the magnetism of the Earth without the plastic and rubber insulation of shoes, so I could feel him that moment. We both looked down at my barefeet in front of him, and I said how being with him on the marble made it even easier for me to connect us. Making the truth and teaching at that moment more real and present for everyone in the room. This electricity was very present in the room illuminating everyone in God's Love.

As I reread what I’ve written here and remember, what comes to mind is how I had written in my journal book that I needed to tell Father Kevin about my Mom's sermon. She always knew about the corruption of the machine that we witnessed firsthand, and how I was brought into this space to shift and change things to return to God’s Love!

I've always been on the edge, pushing and changing things that I really never understood. Soon I discovered I really knew things at a level deeper with Jesus. My capacity of empathy with all aspects of nature around me, brought me access to levels of Truth that very few can experience. Whether I had these experiences or not was something that seemed irrelevant, since I was intimate with the True Source all the time instead.

Yes, I must do my Mom’s Church sermon about real health and nutrition she planned for the church we started at http://www.vandyke.org/, as opposed to the sickness and disease promoted by the snake in all commercial industries around us.  

Routines always with Testimonies

Within a week I had a strong focused schedule, prayer, exercise, bike, yoga, mass, and class. It was a busy morning, but it was effective in getting me centered in spirit and my own health again. Now, essentially focused on Jesus from 4am to 9am. I guess it was more often 3:30am or earlier to get my coffee and fruit before the first call on the prayerline. Then I’ve realized these phone calls were very powerful testimonies for Jesus. Anyone who calls at this time, in the middle of the night, is stressing-out about something, can’t sleep, or is simply, as directed by Jesus, trying to reach me very specifically.

I've told the story before about when everything crashed in Tampa. I sold my Seminole Heights house and was staying in my dad's empty Land 'o Lakes house, while he was buzzing across the country in his RV. I wasn't sure what I was doing and started to exercise regularly. I remember how excited I was to be doing sit-ups and push-ups everyday. My dad said it was required in High School. Yes, but if they got me to do it once they were lucky, doing it everyday might have happened two days in a row, but never a full week for me. It was really powerful for the weeks of doing the same exercise everyday. My dad told me about the weights he used under his bed, when I first spoke to him. So I did more, included weights, bike rides and even swimming laps in the pool.

Yes, Lent got me back into this important exercise routine and I always knew it was critical for me. I also have found that I wrote in my journal again with Lent. Saying how Lent was about Jesus teaching me to just "Be Flow." I would get into very strong testimonies for Jesus each morning with the Prayerline. Then I also realized how important it was for me to write here in the blogs. It's almost like the world stopping with Covid wasn't enough to get me focused, I needed to have more trauma and stress to get me focused.

Yes Testimonies, as a 4am call for a prayer would usually be people who are in the middle of some serious struggles. I do get calls from California, which is still in the middle of the night for them. I have received calls from Africa, New Zealand and Australia where it's their afternoon. Even those have always been people going through major challenges. I am always deep in discussion and helping people find their Source and Love in Jesus, always being lead back to the same places.

After Mass I even have stayed for the Rosary. Wow, not done that since I was a freshman in college. I cried doing it again, remembering doing it, or not doing it for so long. I don't think I ever did it with Ely or Joyce: my mom and second mom. I am sure they both have done it before, so I wonder if we did together as well. 

Start LENT 2022

This is where I started my story with my experience of LENT.

The Woodlawn Presbyterian Church had this little pamphlet in their bookrack about Lent that I picked up . . . Yes ===>

My mother was Catholic, so I knew Lent is primarily a Catholic tradition. The very next morning I went to Saint Paul's next door: https://stpaulstpete.com/. Yes, I love walking around my block and stopping into the Lady of Lourdes garden that is next to the St Paul's Church. The experience I AM is so present and real for me here in the Euclid Saint Paul's Neighborhood that I live in. Knowing I need to learn how to Pray, Knowing I need to SHARE, again deep in the vibrations of what I hear and know as Jesus all the time:

Temptations beats us slowly as knowledge is power, remember the temptation is not a sin, two James: Shape of Lives by Joys of the Heart, How Jesus lived by the Joy of His Heart to endure that God takes sin very seriously—far more seriously than we do. We either obey God or disobey him, there is no other option, and he holds us accountable for our choices. We make our choices, and then our choices make us. Those choices put us on one of two roads through life, the easy way that leads to destruction or the hard way that leads to life (Matt. 7:13–14). Temptation and testing are intimately bound up with these decisions . . . .

1. Deception
2. Attractions
3. Desire
4. Conceptions
5. Subjection

I have learned to accept the guidance of Jesus that I receive in every moment. Yes, I accept that Jesus is always with me, and I really try to Pray unceasingly (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ). Like hearing this quote above on the Radio now, and recognizing my temptations to leave this posting incomplete. I already had signed up volunteering for a two hours monday morning with the Prayerline. I know my responsibility to complete my tasks before God, this is my responsibility to follow through and complete the opening and Graces that God shares with me.

Yes, when I arrived at Saint Paul's for the 7am Mass, I found this prayer guide by Alice Camille: "Lent 2022 Daily Reflections, Contemplations and Prayers." I have purchased these new one's pictured here, after my own was rained on, marked up, and is a complete mess. As I started Lent at St. Paul's, I was delighted to find this book at the entrance. 

After mass as I was walking out, and I looked around to see if I could find anything more to help, teach, and guide me in prayer. A sweet woman noticed me looking around and asked me if she could help. I told her I was trying to learn about Lent and how to pray. She told me to go to see the new young leader, Father Curtis at Saint Raphael's on Snell Island: https://st-raphaels.com. 

She told me they had Mass at 8am. I had time to race over on my bike and jumped right then. After Mass at St. Raphael's, I spoke to Fr. Curtis, who told me to speak to their administrator, and introduced me to her that moment. She invited me to join a new class about prayer starting this week after the morning Mass, and gave me this workbook immediately ====>

This set my focus very clearly, as all God’s Work comes easy for those who listen and I needed to take this very seriously. I started going to St Paul's at 7am and then St Raphael's at 8am, doing the reading from the Lent Prayer guide between. I soon learned about doing alms for Lent and changed my volunteer PrayerLine time from 4-6am Monday, to 4-5am M-F so i could get a serious schedule and habit started. Next on my new schedule was that I Listened to Family Focus at 5am on TheJoyFM.com and then the 5:30am InTouch Christian message that was followed by the Moments with Charles Stanley and the JoyFM Morning Devotional and Prayers at 6am.  I found this morning devotional time from 4am to 6am was very clear to get me focused, including making my bed, exercises lifting weights, and the morning bowl of fruit.

This allowed me to make it to Mass at St Paul's by 7am and then again at St. Raphael's by 8am which I did for most of Lent.
