ANSWERED PRAYERS

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT 
& YAHWEH’S INTERVENTION

Elder Willie Beard came down from Memphis to fellowship with us for the Feast of Trumpets and we had brethren come from Florien, La. along with others from the local area. We did video the services and a tape is available for those who would like to view the messages. Elder Willie Beard spoke on Praising Yahweh and Elder Jerry Healan spoke on The Themes of Trumpets. If you would like a copy of these messages, call or write to us and request video tape #4T0916.

The Day of Atonement was much more low keyed as the distances would have been too great for the brethren to travel, and health problems prevented others from participating in attendance, so the day was spent in the Healan’s home with study, prayer and, of course, fasting.

We do trust and pray that each of you had a joyful Feast of Tabernacles with safety on the highways and byways as you made your way to the feast site of your choice. The Healan’s had originally intended to attend the feast at Rocheport, but there were so many things that had to be taken care of just before and just after the feast, that it made it impossible to travel that far. So they went to fellowship with the Cisco brethren instead. That isn’t to say that Cisco was the second choice because the Healan’s always enjoy the opportunity to fellowship with the brethren at Cisco. It was a time of great joy and rejoicing with plenty of spiritual food.

 
It must be funny. Sister Fran and Hannah.

The area had also been hit with very dry conditions, but Yahweh made sure that there was plenty of moisture as it seems that it rained almost every day. But that didn’t dampen the spirits of the brethren, because even if the weather was cloudy outside, there was plenty of light and joy on the faces of the brethren. There were plenty of communal meals and Yahweh has blessed the ladies in the assembly to be able to put on a tremendous and tasty feast, while many of the men provided the spiritual feast.

The only negative thing that occurred was that Angelina Salinas (known as "Mamacita"), the 92 year old mother of Sister Rosa Blissard, fell and broke her hip in the motel where they were staying. It was so heart-wrenching to see her lying on the bed in so much pain. But she has been released from the hospital now and is well on the way to mending (Praise Yahweh!).

Our compliments and thanks go out to the Cisco brethren who were willing to host the Feast of Tabernacles. It takes a lot of work, dedication and sacrifice to host the feast. Also, we want to thank them for responding to Mamacita’s condition. We have been informed that she received multiple visits from the brethren there every day that she was in the hospital. It is a good 50 mile trip to the hospital in Abilene, so the visits also required a great deal of sacrifice. But the love and care exhibited on their behalf surely went a long way in encouraging her recovery. Of course, all of our collective prayers surely had something to do with it. Praise Yahweh that He intervened!

Elder Healan was blessed to be able to visit with the New Covenant Fellowship Assembly at Emory on the second day of the Feast of Tabernacles. The brethren there were so warm and zealous. It makes one wish that he could be at all feast sites at one and the same time. While Yahweh can do that, puny little man simply doesn’t have that capability.

On the regular Sabbath during the feast, Elder Healan went to the Powledge Unit to fellowship with and baptize four men. That meeting took place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and then he traveled to the Coffield Unit at Tennessee Colony where he fellowshipped with the men there from 12:00 Noon to 2:00 p.m. One man was baptized from that group. He then traveled back to Cisco where he observed the rest of the feast.

This opportunity to fellowship with these men during the feast is one reason why the Healan’s decided on the Cisco feast site. Elder Healan visits these facilities on the first Sabbath of each month, but the Unity Conference caused the fellowship in August to be forfeited. If the Healan’s had gone to Rocheport, then that would have meant the forfeiting of another Sabbath meeting. It would also have meant the delay of the baptisms.

We have to conclude that treachery is simply a fact of life in man’s dealing whether it comes from leadership or even the people themselves. People, whether black, white, yellow, red, etc., are made ready pawns in the hands of those who are quite willing to mislead them for what they deem to be their own personal benefit.

But the other essential ingredient is knowledge. Do you think that if the average Afro-American citizen knew the whole gamut of facts that they would continue to whole-heartedly support the Democrats? Probably, because it is so easy for the human mind to be swayed to believe lies and hate and reject the truth.

Many of today’s highly educated Afro-American citizens are found to be members of the Republican party. Why? Could it be that they understand the true history? Could it be that they have gained a little wisdom due to knowledge? Yet, most of these Afro-American citizens are labeled as "Uncle Toms" by their opposing Democratic brethren.

But still, so many, many of the more educated Afro-Americans continue to cling to the Democratic party because of peer pressure and because of a sheep-like mentality to follow the leaders. But the question would now be, Who really is the true "Uncle Tom?"

When you get right down to it, the overall preponderance of people hate knowledge. Israel hated knowledge. Judah hated knowledge. Adam and Eve hated knowledge. We are all the offspring of Adam and Eve. Oh, men love knowledge alright, but the knowledge that most love is the knowledge to do evil. Most hate and reject the knowledge to do good and right, especially the good and right deemed appropriate by Yahweh.

Man likes to establish his own system of knowledge (educational system) apart and separate from the knowledge of Yahweh. Man likes to establish his own system of religious knowledge apart and separate from the knowledge of Yahweh. Of course, he likes to say that he is utilizing the Scriptures as his guide, but has given himself over to a spirit that seeks to counterfeit a system that seems similar to what Yahweh’s word says but is still in opposition to His truths. Once again, it all has to do with deceptive treacherous leaders and the sheep-like mentality of the people.

The following article appeared recently on the internet:

Across the Bible Belt this Halloween some little ghosts and goblins might get shooed away by the neighbors – and some youngsters will not get to go trick or treating at all – because the holiday falls on Sunday this year.

"It's a day for the good Lord, not for the devil," said Barbara Braswell, who plans to send her 4-year-old granddaughter Maliyah out trick-or-treating in a princess costume on Saturday instead.

Some towns around the country are decreeing that Halloween be celebrated on Saturday to avoid complaints from those who might be offended by the sight of demons and witches ringing their doorbell on the Sabbath.

Others insist the holiday should be celebrated on October 31 no matter what.

"Moving it, that's like celebrating Christmas a week early," said Veronica Wright, who bought a Power Rangers costume for her son in Newnan. "It's just a kid thing. It's not for real."

It is an especially sensitive issue for authorities in the Bible Belt across the South.

"You just don't do it on Sunday," said Sandra Hulsey of Greenville, Georgia. "That's Christ's day. You go to church on Sunday, you don't go out and celebrate the devil. That'll confuse a child."

In Newnan, a suburb south of Atlanta, the City Council decided to go ahead with trick-or-treating on Sunday. In 1999, the last time October 31 fell on a Sunday, the city moved up trick-or-treating to Saturday, which brought howls of protest.

"We don't need to confuse people with this," Councilman George Alexander said.

In Vestavia Hills, Alabama, a suburb of Birmingham, a furor erupts every time Halloween falls on Sunday. Local officials decided not to take a stand this time.

"About 15 years ago, we decided to have Halloween on Saturday instead. People went crazy. We said, 'Never again,"' recalled Starr Burbic, longtime secretary to the mayor. "It messed everybody up to move Halloween. Some people don't like having it on a Sunday, but we just couldn't find a way to make everyone happy."

The patchwork of trick-or-treat zones could work to children's advantage: Some might go out on both nights to get all the treats they can.

With so many towns split over when Halloween should be celebrated, many are going with a porch-light compromise: If people do not want trick-or-treaters, they simply turn off their lights, and parents are asked not to have kids knock there.

"Most people don't have a problem with it. It's a pretty universal compromise, so that's what we go with," said Grand Rapids, Michigan, police Lt. Douglas Brinkley.

Doesn’t this article reveal how ridiculously deceived the people are? In the first place, they are confused as to which day is the true Sabbath. The true Sabbath is the seventh day of the week (Saturday) not the first day of the week (Sunday).

But here again, there is another point of confusion. The true Biblical days take place from around sunset to sunset, not from midnight to midnight. Thus, if the people are observing Halloween on what is called Saturday night, in the Creator’s eyes, and according to Biblical reasoning, Halloween would really be observed on Sunday, the first day of the week anyway. To observe it Sunday night is really observing it on Monday, the second day of the week.

But then, there is the statement that Halloween is just for kids. Oh really!? Then why do we see so many adults dressed up in these silly costumes in working establishments? Why are there also many adult costume parties if it is just for the kids?

Witches, a symbol of
Halloween.

Besides that, Halloween has to do with witches, sorcerers, devils, goblins, the dead, etc., etc. Why do churches, which proclaim to be following the Bible, allow such practices since the Holy Scriptures vehemently denounce witches, sorcerers, demons, devils, etc.?

Yahweh declares, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live," Ex. 22:18. "When thou art come into the land which Yahweh thy Elohim giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto Yahweh: and because of these abominations Yahweh thy Elohim doth drive them out before thee," Dt. 18:9-12.

Of course, Christianity declares, That is Old Testament. The Old Testament is done away. We are under the New Testament.

The Apostle Paul writes, "Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murder, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of Elohim," Gal. 5:19-21.

Do you get that!? Halloween was never commanded to be observed by Yahweh. It was observed by idolatry! Witches, sorcerers, demons, devils, the revellings of Halloween, etc., are revealed by both Old and New Testaments as an abomination to Yahweh! They are works of the flesh, not of the Spirit. To continue in the works of the flesh causes one to lose their inheritance in the kingdom of heaven!

So why do many churches allow such practices to continue and even promote them with such activities on their own properties? Because the pastors and leaders are dealing treacherously with the people. They are failing to stand for the truth. They are causing the people to lose their inheritance.

If parents are believers, why would they allow their children to dress up thusly since the Scriptures forbid such? The statement that It’s for the children is truly a false statement. Halloween is dedicated to Satan and his demonic devils. It’s for Satan, not the children. The children are being indoctrinated with the idea that witches, sorcerers, Satan, devils, demons, goblins, etc. are cool, innocent, OK.

Shame on this ministry if we don’t speak out against such things! Shame on this ministry if we don’t reveal the truth of the matter irregardless of the consequences!

With this in mind, let’s just address more deceptions that are rampant in this world that has been deceived by that old dragon Satan the devil (Rev. 12:9).

Sunday, the first day of the week, is not the Sabbath. You can search the Scriptures out and you will find that the seventh day is the Sabbath that was sanctified by our Creator Yahweh (Gen. 1, 2; Ex. 20:8-11; Lev. 23:1-3). Yahshua and the disciples/apostles all kept the Sabbath day (Mk. 1:21, 6:2; Lk. 4:16, 31, 13:10; Acts 13:14, 42, 44, 17:2, 18:4).

Sunday, the first day of the week, is the day of idolatrous sun worship. Again, Paul charges us to "...flee from idolatry," 1 Cor. 10:14. But because of treacherous leaders who utilize false, subtle, reasonings to get around Scripture, the sheep are continually deceived.

Scripture commands us to observe Passover and the days of unleavened bread (Ex. 12, Lev. 23, etc.), but most so-called New Testament believers observe Easter (Ishtar) instead. See Ez. 8 for Yahweh’s condemnation of Easter sunrise services.

Scripture commands us to observe the other annual holy days (Lev. 23), but Biblical leaders proclaim that those days are done away, however, they lead the sheep to observe and celebrate Christmas as the birthday of the Savior which they openly admit is not true. December 25th is the birthday of the Natilis Invicti Solis or the Unconquered sun, also Nimrod, Apollo and various other sun gods of paganism.

Again, Christianity teaches that Yahweh’s law, the ten commandments are done away, but the commandments describe to us what sin is (1 Jn. 3:4). If the commandments are done away, then there is no such thing as sin. If there is no such thing as sin, then a person doesn’t need to repent. He doesn’t need a Savior.

Are you beginning to see how easy it is to deceive mankind? We hope so. Scripture says that Satan has deceived the whole world (Rev. 12:9). The Scriptures begin to declare that great deception in the book of Genesis and in the book of Revelation, the serpent is still around deceiving the world.

Isn’t it time to begin to rethink things? Isn’t it time to begin to study the Scriptures where the real truth is? Isn’t it time to allow Yahweh’s word to correct your life? We must admit that when a person begins to go the right way, it feels a little strange, but the benefits of truth and the true way far outweigh the ways of falsehood, deceit, a false hope, etc.

We encourage repentance of one’s sins. We encourage all to acknowledge the deception that has so easily swayed their lives. Turn to Yahweh the Father and Yahshua the Son. Embrace their word of truth and prepare for a real future that will never end. HalleluYah!!!

*Many of the facts of this article were taken from Wallbuilders Resources, under the article Black History 2003.

The days of the Feast of Tabernacles 2004 are now over. Our hearts are filled with joy and satisfaction after fellowshipping with our brethren who came from the different places of our country. We have had two feast sites in Mindanao in behalf of YEA and YAIM joint ministry here in the Philippine Islands. One was in Base Camp, Maramag, Bukidnon and the other was in Sitio Biak, Sinapangan, Libungan, Cotabato.

On the first day of the feast until the fourth day I and a brother were there at the feast site of Cotabato to observe the feast with the brethren there. I baptized four persons on October 3, 2004 in the water of Biak River, Sitio Biak, Libungan Cotabato. These baptisms were performed during the Feast of Tabernacles and we thank Yahweh that there are more souls who have heard the call of the Master. Most of the brethren who attended the feast in Sitio Biak, Sinapangan, Libungan, Cotabato are from Stonefort Assembly, Cotabato City.

While in Cotabato, we sought to edify the faith of the brethren there. We left after giving scriptural admonition to the elder and deacons to continue feeding the flock with the bread of life until the Feast of Tabernacles would be over. Then we went back to Maramag to keep the feast with the brethren there. There were about 45 brethren who attended the feast at Maramag. I delivered a message entitled "The True People of Yahweh." Yahweh’s true people must keep all His eternal laws including His feasts. I also delivered the message of Elder Healan’s article entitled "Why We Should Observe the Feast of Tabernacles," and the brethren were impressed by its message that keeping the feasts of Yahweh is a rehearsal of our marriage with the Lamb and we are not worthy for the marriage if we don’t keep Yahweh’s appointed times and seasons.

Elder Elias Flores and family joined with us in observing the FOT. He has joined his hands with us in our ministerial efforts here.

We are so grateful to Father Yahweh for touching the hearts of some brethren to help those of us who are in financial distress. At this time, we are really suffering an economic downfall. Since the bankruptcy of our little business, we are trying to be very careful in spending the money we are able to receive. We must see to it that the blessings we receive will be used mainly in the ministry as an investment for an eternal gain of everlasting life.

The oil prices increase here almost every week. I think that it is the work of the super rich in this world. When the oil prices increases, of course, the prices of prime commodities increase. It is an economic oppression. Because of poverty, the poor are buried in debts and threatened.

It’s sad to think that justice in this world today is no more. You can be falsely accused and imprisoned if the rich men do not forgive the poor for his debts. We cry to Yahweh because of the wicked rich men in this world. We know that we are snared by the tempters through the hands of the rich. May Yahweh recompense what they are doing now in oppressing the poor. We know that we can do nothing of ourselves, so we trust in Yahweh’s strong hands to save us out of the evil hands of the super rich.

The adversary wants to knock us down so he never stops putting many problems and troubles in our way. But we remember Psa. 28:7 and 50:15. Yahweh is our shield and strength. HalleluYah!!!

The Unity Conference has now long since come and gone. It was truly a more upbeat conference and the fellowship was excellent. We want to thank the Eaton Rapids Assembly for their willingness to host the Unity Conference. To host such an event requires a good deal of work and sacrifice on every member’s part. Below is a report filed by Pastor Samuel Graham of the Eaton Rapids Assembly which appeared in the Faith Magazine.

The Assembly of Yahweh at Eaton Rapids, Michigan hosted the 2004 Unity Conference. There was a spirit of anticipation as the local congregation planned, prayed and fasted for a successful conference.

Believers gathered from Michigan and several other states; California, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Pennsylvania; and from Ontario, Canada, which made it an international conference.

Elder Otto Misel from the local Assembly opened the conference with prayer. Samuel Graham gave a history of the conference (20 years), and the proposed goals, reading several scriptures regarding unity and the spirit of cooperation between the assemblies. We started with a two-minute introduction of the delegates and then moved into the first presentation for the day.

The brethren who addressed the congregation are listed in order of their presentations.

Larry Acheson, Plano, Texas—"Do We Honor Yahweh by Referring to Him as ‘Our G-d’?" Yahweh is worthy of our utmost reverence, praise and worship. In light of such awesome majesty and the respect due Him, why would we want to assign a title to Yahweh that we know is the name of a heathen idol,...and condemned by Yahweh Himself?

Jerry Healan, Atlanta, Texas—"The History of Yahweh’s Dwelling Places." A marvelous story is being told to us in the Scriptures. But that story is also being declared in the heavens. This story becomes very clear when the two are compared as well as a trace of the history of Yahweh’s dwelling places, past, present and future are considered.

John Hawkins, DeSoto, Texas— "Understanding Yahweh’s Appointed Feast Days and Calendar." This is a 140 page book about the calendar, equinoxes, new moons, feast days, International Date Line and how present day astronomy can help determine Yahweh’s Feast Days.

Michael Banak, Oak Lawn, Illinois—"Yahshua as Lawgiver." Yahshua is a Lawgiver, whose commands are binding; He is not a mere commentator. Like Moses He will sometime, add to the law, or else re-direct its application. Beyond Lev. 19:17, sinners are now held to peer accountability, Mt. 18:16.

Matthew Janzen, Conyers, Georgia— "The Virgin Birth Controversy." Matthew believes most of us agree in the doctrine of the virgin birth, and wanted to strengthen our beliefs. Does this doctrine determine one’s everlasting life destiny? Yes, for we must believe that Yahshua is the only begotten son of Yahweh.

Isaac Williams, Independence, Louisiana— "Unity." We must have unity at the local level before we reach out to others. The evil one, "the devil is not divided." Let us put this house together, humbling ourselves, putting ourselves in subjection to one another. Live the words in Ephesians 4:1-6, one hope, one faith, one baptism. "I want to take something back to my people to give them hope and assurance and answers."

George Garner, Rocheport, Missouri— "Who was Yahshua Before He Became a Man? Can a Man Die for our Sins?" The supremacy of Messiah, the first born of Yahweh (John 1:14), all the fullness of Yahweh dwells in Him to reconcile to Himself all things. Hebrews 9:15 teaches us that Yahshua became the mediator of the new covenant so that they which are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance because He died for our sins.

Rock Key Yah, Brighton, Illinois— "Malleable," meaning that which can be hammered, rolled, or extended into various shapes without being broken; adaptable, yielding. The message—Yahweh’s Word is like a sword, it can change us, mold us into a citizen of Zion or Yahweh’s Word can cut us off from the body and from His blessings. We all can be formed into His body if we so desire.

David Roberts, Jefferson, South Carolina— "Community Living." Elder Roberts related the history of the Victory Community, which is patterning itself after the Essenes who lived in the first century. They keep Yahweh’s laws, the Sabbath, Feast Days, live a set-apart life (no television, etc.), raise much of their own food, and sponsor Voice of Victory Radio Broadcast on WWRB, 5,050 Mhz Short-wave, Mon.-Fri. 7:00-8:00 p.m. EST.

Mike Mastropaolo, Huntington, Arkansas— "A look back at the accomplishments of the conferences, see what was and is working and look ahead to future conferences. "Send invitations to other groups; send the message, ‘Us versus the world of sin;’ and bless other assemblies weekly in our prayers."

Scott Leys, Zeeland, Michigan— "Unity" - repeating Mike Mastropaolo’s request to invite other groups to the conference. New groups are being formed and this movement is larger then we realize.

Mike Klopfenstein, Kendallville, Indiana— "A Biblical Perspective on the Importance of a Caring Heart for Relationships." The state of relationships in our homes, communities, assemblies, and nation; a case for change. The bottom line is LOVE, love of Yahweh, Yahshua, husband, wife, children, brethren and neighbors; and how to restore broken relationships.

Baruch Bobo, Toledo, Ohio— "Are the Words and Numbers in the Scriptures backed up or substantiated by Mathematical equation?" Many examples were presented thus proving the validity of Yahweh’s Word then and now.

Todd Danael, California—Focused on the relationship of Yahweh the Father and Yahshua the Son; Yahshua beginning from above. We came from the earth and go back to the earth. Yahshua came from Elohim and went back to Elohim.

Jerry Healan reported on the missionary trip to the Philippines with George Garner and Bill Selman. Jerry is hopefully planning another trip next year. Jacob C. Meyer from Frystown, Pennsylvania is planning another missionary trip to Kenya during the 2004 Feast of Tabernacles.

These plans were announced so others could join hands in these endeavors.

Plans are being made for a Messianic Musicians’ Retreat this winter and an Elder’s and Pastor’s meeting in the central United States at the end of this year.

The 21st Annual Unity Conference will be held (Yahweh willing), August 5, 6 and 7, 2005 at the Assembly of Yahweh 7th Day in Cisco, Texas.

This may seem like a strange statement, but think about what is being said. Jer. 8, Speaks about our sorrowful state today. In the midst of our modern world, wickedness still abounds.

The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: Lo they have rejected the Word Of Yahweh; and what wisdom is in them? Jer. 8:9. Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely. Jer. 8:10.

Verse 10 lets us know, all are bent on covetousness, and deal falsely. From the least to the greatest, Prophet and Priest. The question is asked, "Why do we sit still?"

Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defended cities, and let us be silent there: for Yahweh our Council has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, (poison) because we have sinned against Yahweh. Jer. 8:14.

What would make Yahweh so upset with us, that He would give us poison to drink? For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Yahweh. I will surely consume them, says Yahweh: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them. Jer. 8:11-13. The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. Jer. 8:20. How many ways do we reject Yahweh's Word? We can only cover a few examples in this letter. When we follow those things which are by tradition called the truth, we reject the real truth.

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the hosts of them. And on the sixth day Yahweh ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the SEVENTH DAY from all His work which He had made. And Yahweh Blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all His work which Yahweh created and made. Gen. 2:1-3.

Yahweh Blessed the Seventh Day (which is Saturday not Sunday) and Made it Holy. If we do not Honor that Day, we reject Yahweh's word. Before anything else, Our Eternal Father should come first, not the traditions of men. This is sin!

You shall have no other mighty one before Me. Exodus 20:3. If we make images of anything we hold in high esteem as worship, we reject Yahweh's word. This basically means whatever is in the number one spot in our life, is our god (mighty one, or guide). If we call His Name by the title god, it diminishes the power of His Name, and may be considered disrespect. The same applies to our Messiah Yahshua, when we call Him Jesus. This is sin, once realized and deliberately ignored. Whoever says the Ten Commandments are void, or dead is in error, and has rejected Yahweh's Word. Again, not using The Holy Names, Yahweh (Our Heavenly Father) and Yahshua (Our Savior/Messiah) equals sin. How many of us follow all of these things? THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL! WHO WILL ANSWER!

Never the less I have some what against you, because you have left your first love. Remember therefore from whence you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of his place, except you repent. Rev 2:4,5.

Let us be careful to return to our first love. Lot didn't look back when Yahweh allowed his family to escape. And it came to pass, when Yahweh destroyed the cities of the plain, that Yahweh remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. Gen. 19:29. Likewise let us return to Our Heavenly Father, Yahweh is His Name, do not be ashamed!

ANSWERED PRAYERS

Congratulations to Don and Dana Parker upon the arrival of their son named Daniel Aaron Parker on Sabbath, Sept. 4, 2004.

Daniel weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. And was 18-1/2 inches long.

It was feared that he would be retarded, but Brother Don advised that if there is any retardation at all, it can’t really be detected.

However, the child was born with a small hole in the upper chamber of his heart and another slightly larger hole in the lower chamber. A tube was run into his veins through the leg and later it was discovered that the infant had no feeling in his leg. It was speculated that they might have to amputate his leg, but prayer prevailed. And all is fine with that.

Surgery was scheduled to repair his heart on 11/15, but upon contacting Dana on 11/14 we discovered that surgery was postponed until after Thanksgiving.

Thanks so much for all your prayers which have been answered so powerfully.

Prayers have been specifically solicited for the following: Randy Adkins, Calvin Amos & Family, Sharon Amos, Leah Baird, Mona Baylon & Family, Rosa Blissard, Larry Brawner, Nadine Brown, Cisco Assembly, Evelyn Cooper, Serena Cusson, Ennis Dewayne Davis, Fern Davisson, John & Loretta Dellipizzi, Duncan Dominic and Malaysian Ministry, Michael J. and Marie Fegans and family, Alice Findling, Brad & Christine Folford, Stephen Farrell, Mike & Sue Green, Daniel E. Hafey, Elder George & Clara Kinney, Wendy Kinney, Evelyn Kacos, Mike & Sue Kotak, Dirk R. Lemcke, Norene Looker, Pete Markunas, George McKenzie Jr., Margaret Nogales & Family, Jesus Oñate, Kerry & Tovayah Nelms, Ben Nelms, Elder George Paña & Family, Danny Perkins, Mona Perry, Eugene Peterson & Family, Angelina (Mamacita) Salinas, Bill Stubbs, Jim Thompson, Alvin & Judy Pyle, Josh Tuggle (auto accident), Floy Rynard, Mary Schimke, Mary Warren, DeLarron, Lavon and Yedayah Shalom Washington, Harold & Gayle Watkins, Ethel Watson, Oscar & Jamesa Weaver, Mike & Adelia Williams family, and Stephen Yeakel, Yahweh’s work throughout the world, especially the Philippines, India, Africa, etc.

Please remember these brethren in your daily prayers, lifting their names before Yahweh's throne of grace and mercy for the intervention that is needed in each case.

While we do not know the specifics in each and every case, there are some whose condition we do know of and would like to enlist the specifics of their problems here so that your prayers for them can be broken down a little smaller and more specifically. Pete Markunas suffers from diabetic neuropathy and fibromyalgia. Evelyn Kacos suffers from various debilitating problems caused by diabetes . Michael Fegans is in prison and is suffering persecution for seeking to walk in the strait and narrow way. Marie Fegans is suffering from Hepatitis. Josh Tuggle was in an automobile accident receiving life threatening and crippling wounds. He has lost his leg, but is in good spirits. Kerry & Tovayah Nelms—family problems, Bill Stubbs has heart problems and Jim Thompson and Alvin are suffering from cancer. The Cisco Assembly is suffering from persecution from a couple of former members.

Randy Adkins is a prisoner who has been transferred to a new unit where the kosher diet is not recognized. He hadn’t been able to eat for days because of the unclean food being served.

Please pray for the men in prison who have been influenced by the Sacred Names Assemblies that their walk will be perfect before Yahweh both in and out of the prison walls.
