Look at the Word

The following was a word the Lord spoke to me in my prayer and waiting time. It certainly encouraged me and I hope you can be encouraged and instructed by it. Blessings in Him

Look at the Word
You look around and see and lose hope and become discouraged. Then faith slips and you put a stop to My work, says the Lord.
Look to the word. Keep it before your eyes and meditate on it. Hope will form again and courage to declare , releasing your faith instead of despair.
Be bold, be courageous to declare what I have said about this affair. and your declarations shall become proclamations in the Heavenly Kingdom. Angels shall harken and go to work. Demons shall hear and despair that their work has failed and they will turn tall and be no more.
for there shall arise from these words of Mine that you echo , a vibration that shall become a roar at the door of provision that shall open and pour forth on you the very things I have promised to do.

Greetings Everybody
here are some recent pictures………

They show the children coming up for water on a hot day and you can
see their little water bottles — these children are really blessed
to be able to come get this free drinking water that is healthy and
clean. Also, almost always when I get a group of 5 or more at the same
time, I’ll go out and sit on the steps with them and tell them a
little story while they rest up for the trip home which for the ones
in these pics about 1.5 miles. I told you about the wild phenomenon
in the sky, well,

EVERYBODY in the Work Camp down below was outside watching and lots were crying and scared! We saw these 3 huge lights like chasing each other in the sky. They would go round and round in a kind of fog, then one would catch up to the other and then they would all become one. It
was crazy! I have never believed in “sightings” but this was so wild.

And the reason I am bringing it up again is that in the pic of the kids that came for water is Micaela. She asked me where those lights from the other night came from. So I said , well, who does heaven
and earth belong to? She said, Well, Yahweh and Jesus! So then she asked me about rainbows……..and gave me the chance to tell the Noah
story to her and her brothers and sisters, The point is tho, if they
didn’t come here for water I would have no chance to tell them these
things about the Lord and His World and His Word. So as we see it each
“work” we do, is like an outrech to bring people in so we can build
bridges to them and by living with them by example- show Christ’s
Love.

Also re: pic of Gregoria and her baby boy. She is 16 or 17 and came
in for the Literacy Classes. She doesn’t come for water bacause she
lives about 3 miles away……………but thru the classes I have
come to know her. About 3 weeks ago, she seemed really down and I
asked her what was wrong. She speaks so very little Spanish but i
understood that her husband had no work and they were about to get
thrown out of their room in the Camp. I prayed with her about it and
she was very broken. The next week, she jumped in the truck so happy
to tell me that her husbnd had gotten his job back the VERY NEXT day.
It was super easy to ask her if she wanted to ask Jesus to be the King of her Life! Thru the Literacy class she was saved.
Also a pic of Baby Chente and his mama Miriam. She is 17. Never would
come to Church before and she lives right there in the pueblo by the Building. She is finishing her Secondary School with us and brings Chente for his well baby exams. She was sharing with me one day last week how sad she was that the father of her child wants nothing to do with him or her…………..it gave Frank and I the opportunity to explain how the Lord is hers and Chente’s Father and how nothing is impossible. She broke down and accepted Christ on the spot on last
Clinic Day.
Yes, it is the Holy Spirit who draws the people in, but the Lord
flows thru all kinds of ways to see that ALL are given the opportunity to know Him…………………

Thanks to everyone who makes it possible for us to do these things…….

Love, Detra

Hey Everyone at Harvest of Faith,

Hey Everyone at Harvest of Faith,
Well, blessings to everyone back home……..in the USA anyway. We are praying for the political situation there and for all of the young men and women who may be called to serve in a different way than us but even more needing Our Lord’s protection.
Things here have tightened up again with regards to police control and the “war” against the drug lords…….Frank won’t allow us (he, me anyone with us , after dark once again. ) With reason because with the change in governorship there is a new wave in police corruption and a hatred against Christianity. Governors of States who have proclaimed their Christianity are being actively persecuted……but those coming against these brave men do not realize who our God is and that the battle truly is His. Sometimes in the flesh tho it gets scary and we wish He would show up just a bit ahead of time. Ever working on our patience and faith.
The Lord is working in so many different ways right now.
Our last Free Medical Clinic was a good one. Two more of our young pregnant women have given birth both to boys. I’ve been blessed to attend two births and take one little mother in for a c-section (that one was a girl) in the past 4 weeks. So it has been exciting. I get to lay hands upon mothers and babies fresh into this new world!
All of the babies whose moms have received prenatal care at least over 2 months worth, most much more, were above average weight and the mothers recovered very quickly…………….even the c-section. I think I mentioned we were able to supply all of the moms, but especially the c-section (here they do the old North to South cut, ouch) with supplies provided through Wings by Hands of Hope. I have actually now made up 5 C-section/Birth kits, containing, sanitary pads, betadine, peroxide , clean drapes, gauze (c-sections,- tape, gloves, BANDAGES!!,thermometer strips, ) all things the moms would need to purchase to stay clean and sterile after birth.but cannot afford to……………….
Please relay to Hands of Hope our gratitude once again. It is great to be able to walk into a humble home in a labor camp and be able to make the women more comfortable. Since being invited to more home births I am able to assess the needs more accurately I think, praise Yahweh!
As I am sure ya’ll know it’s back to school time again and we ‘ve been busy getting vaccinations taken care of and records submitted. we had no funds for uniforms this year but praise the Lord, we have still been able to supply 7 children in primaria and 1 girl in secundaria with full or partial unis! At the end of last school cycle, I snatched up a lot of pants and white shirts that were on clearance and have been holding them for a time such as now………plus I had four little 6x size sweat outfits for PE from In His Service ministry given back at Christmas , set back……… praise the Lord, miracle uniforms! It was even exciting for me!
So we enrolled 6 new kinder students and 15 new primary school children in appropriate grades we hope…………………the Lord is Great.
Aquilino has passed from Elementary/primary School to 7th grade! Pastor Richrd can tell ya’ll about our dear Aquilino! He is a miracle and a faithful little guy who knows who Yahweh and Yeshua are and isn’t scared to tell anybody!
Due to all of this I have pulled back from teaching the literacy classes and am just doing stand-in for Norma, Barbara and Guillermo………….our students test results from their first official STATE test came in and we had 4, with 9.5t of 10 overall scores, 6 with 8.5, and the remainder at the top of the curve for their prior experience. Most of which was ZERO EXPERIENCE. The students (all women, some 14 some 57) with no prior education just literally absorb each “teachers” presence and knowledge to a point that we leave just drained………but rejoicing. Every week , against federal rules, we teach one scripture to be memorized , written and red aloud then explained in the way it impacts their lives…………….people who NEVER would have come into “CHURCH” are getting saved. We are getting 2 new students a week at present and they are in for learning to read by learning the Word first…..
Sadly, I recieved an email from a former “supporter” who said he could “no longer support these secular efforts.” I did respond that I was sad that he didn’t understand the worth of a woman being able to READ the WORD OF GOD for her self, for her children, for her parents, for her neighbors…………” Because that is what we are after and what is happening. People must understand that the MEDICAL CLINICS and CLASSES and LITERACY training and homework support and meals are ALL secondary to our preaching the Gospel , but the TRUE GOSPEL of CHRIST. If they don’t get it, oh well, I cannot cry over spilt milk, I can only pray they see that the KINGDOM OF CHRIST must PUSH INTO the “secular world” instead of awaiting the arrival of that secular world in their christians lounges, with plush carpets and comfy chairs.
I dont want to offend anyone but we MUST wake up and not use a new way to reach the world as an excuse not to give………………….
Preaching the Gospel is NUMERO UNO right here and always will be. But as Pas Frank says “You cannot eat a fish that you haven’t caught.”
In other words all of these classes and programs are OUTREACHES or as I call them- OUTPUSHES- into the world of the unsaved.

And brethren, it is going well. Even tho we have bills we can’t pay right now and bald tires on the ministry truck which is our truck., (in other words w egotta get the money to fix it, some just think “THE CHURCH” an amorphous THANG out there supplies missionaries, but no, Yahweh flows thru people like you and me…….oh and Lis…..our little 21 year old who makes it HER BUSINESS to tithe into this ministry faithfully EVERY MONTH from the BLOG on the internet the Lord gave her, this lil gal living an hour away makes sure her tithe is here every month no matter what! anyway………we have faith that our God shall supply according to His Riches in Glory…………..please please stand with us ion faith for finances, if you cannot give of money, give of time in prayer……….for we believe Our Lord hears those prayers today as He did when Moses cried out…….

ALSO WANT TO THANK MY PASTOR RICHARD AND COUSIN ABBY FOR THE COMPUTER THEY SENT DOWN! AND THANK MARTHA H. WHO DROVE TWO HOURS NORTH TO GET IT AND TWO HOURS SOUTH TO BRING IT HERE!
Every little thing is appreciated and cried over and loved and thank you to everyone who helps us to do whatever Holy Spirit says for us to do…………….

WE thank Harvest of Faith Family that ya’ll are a huge fountain, that Yahweh flows thru and it even matches the recent Word relayed thru Pastor Richard, that those who seemed small or overlooked would come to recognition, well Harvest may not be HUGE in NUMBERS but we know you are HUGE in the SPIRIT and about to get a reward like nothing we can even imagine! Thank you all, to those i know and have met and to those I have not……………..thank you.
Please join us in prayer that Pastors Richard and Pamela can come see us soon for we long to be with them.

As ya’ll stand with us so we do with you in the Name of Precious Jesus,

Pastors Frank and Detra
Baja Norte
Mexico
The World

PS- Sunday is Church at the Beach, where we take all of the Church to have Meeting and break bread once every year at the water’s edge. So Sunday as ya’ll open up your meeting we’ll be arriving on the beach with a pile of mom’s and children. Sometimes we have unexpected water baptisms as Frank teaches before we eat…………. so please pray in that area if you feel led…………..

Memories of Church As a Child

Today’s thoughts due to last weeks meeting-

When I was a small girl about 8 years old, actually in the beginning of my father’s perpetual LAST slide into alcohol and the delights of cocaine, my mother had a very large mole removed. At the time in my eyes it was a dire situation and my mother relished treating it as such.

Neighbor women arrived to sit watch, whatever that was. From my perspective it was all about a period of time when the neighbor/school ladies who you gossiped fiercely about at all other times were welcomed into your home with graciousness. Casseroles seemed to have a great deal to do with the whole ritual. Looking back on it, it was the closet thing to a family reunion that I ever experienced. In general Cali’s don’t sit watch and in all due cases rarely give a rip about a mole removal or a death in the family, so it was actually a big deal.

So, for 3 days after the Great Mole Removal, our house was a wonderland of gossip and casseroles. I recall with trepidation- the Great Tinfoil Shortage……several large women I didn’t know in a panic about how to cover and thus preserve arriving casseroles once Reynolds aluminum was wiped out. That was about as deep as it got, but there was one wonderful thing that happened……

For the 3 days that women arrived to sit and guard food, it seemed to me, anyway, my father was even more scarce than normal. See. Some of the neighbors, were what he called “church ladies” and he found it difficult to sneak round and drink incessantly while under such a watch. Mostly he was a beer man then , but was just acquiring his scotch taste. He viewed the women as deacon harlots (hi s term) and remained in a constant fit of paranoia while they were in house. In fact fter the 1^st 24 hours he spent most of his time after work in front of the TV tightly gripping a spiked Coca-Cola and shooting the evil eye at the helpful women.

As for me, I have awfully fond memories of it, truth be told! Our home never had such warmth and so damned much hot food. By that age was accustomed to heated up a bagel for myself if I desired any breakfast. And packing the Barbie lunch box was always a solitary affair. To have these people doting on me and feeding me, well it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. They were the aunts, uncles, and grandparents I had left behind. For three days I was part of a family.

The local Methodist preacher, Pastor Lester, even came and visited. I fondly remembered him as the guy who gave a rousing sermon at Easter, the one time my parents took me to a church. He was funny.

After the successful cosmetic procedure my mother was invited to that Church an dwe actually went at least 3 times in a row. I had my name on acute cutout at Sunday School and was learning some neato for the next few Sunday when bamo-! Someone offended my mother. Then Bro. Lester got run off for an indiscretion,which I never fully understood and the church split wide open. My dad DELIGHTED in this and harped on it 24/7 until I suppose Mom just gave it up. The Bubble Bus still picked me up the next few Sundays but I found myself feeling unnerved at facing my inebriated father and I gave up too.

Still , those few Sundays when I was scrubbed and dressed and hauled off to “church” were probably the fondest memories I have of my folks marriage.

In the past couple of weeks I hve seen parents action s in the Church, their response to an offense real or imagined deeply hurt their children and their children’s friends. I am not judging but feel I should share the reminder to be careful about accepting “offenses” and jerking your fmily up to change churches-I beg you to be aware of how it might affect your child or family members…..It is harder to stay nd work things out where the Lord has set you that it is to up and leave in THE SHORT RUN. But I gurantee you that cutting and running in a time of conflict in your church in the long run can destroy lives!

Love,

It ‘s been unseeingly humid down here lately.

It ‘s been unseeingly humid down here lately. We even had a
thunderstorm, reminding me of Mississippi…………..the hot summer rains
that arrive from a gunmetal sky and drench the red delta dirt of my
childhood visits to “home”. Those rains inevitably caused the old
white men in the Kroger’s to fret and grumble if the cotton had yet to
be picked up. But that’s another story. For some reason I always
thought of Mississippi as home, even though at an early age I was
uprooted and transported to California. In California, it seems that
no one has roots there, that everyone originated from somewhere else.
I ‘ve never felt entirely comfortable calling it “home.” And so.
But here I am completing my 16th unlikely year in the unlikely
environs of Baja California Mexico.
Who’d of ever thought I’d wind up here…….and call it “home?”
Back to the weather, though. It had me feeling a bit homesick and out
of sorts………………….but the clouds broke around 5:30 and the air brought
the smell and chill of the ocean so close by. I decided to say
“forget it, for now” and procrastinate on gathering the receipts for
last month for which my crazy bi-polar accountant is hounding me
already, and to sit on the balcony with little green coca-cola.
No sooner than I arranged myself on a lounge chair with my icy soda,
than I see puffs of dirt on the trail thru the weeds from the
cuarteria to the mission. Voices carry thru the now brisk air, and
little ones start appearing getting larger and larger as they
approach. Still most are only about 3 feet tall. It’s “toddler’s hour”
when the littleun’s come to get their 2 liters of water. At the end of
the line is a bigger one though.
I cant tell who it is , just another brown round face in the setting
sun, but as the silhouette nears a bright white smile appears. Big
white teeth and dinner-plate eyes. It’s Aquilino. I am trying to
figure why the big smile which is visible for some 400
yards…………….hmmmm.
As he gets below the balcony, I’m bursting with questions. (It’s been
a slow day at the mission, and I’m a Mexican neighbor now, and well,
we thrive on NEWS. Not CNN, or MSNBC, neither of which I get, but
neighborhood news. Who had a baby, why did the police come, who’s
arriving or leaving from or to Oaxaca……………….the lifeblood of a “slow”
day.
The news is actually minor so far. But I feed him a sandwich as he
regales me with tales of someone’s grandmother and his cousin (both
the same person, go figure but everyone but me is related) and I
continue to ply him with chips and half my soda to get the real source
of the smile on his dirty little face.
See I ‘ve learned that here nothing is fast or easy, watches are
scorned and dates not really applicable unless you own money and even
then, well , it’s Mexico, right? So I am impatiently playing patient
pastora, because this guy is just grinning like a madman.
Finally, I can’t hold it. “So Filli, (which is what everybody calls
Aquilino, only the Lord knows why, but no one in Mexico goes by their
birth name , but an “apodo” or nickname that has usually no bearing or
reason in it’s assignation). When I call him Filli, he gives me a sly
look. Like okay down to business.
“Hermana! They are back. THEY are back. The Ixpa’s. The funny people.”
And I am instantly hungry for details and so intrigued as he tells me
of two families who were moved OUT of the Camp to make way for these
curious Ixpa’s. They were here like 5 years ago. And Filli was totally
on love with the oldest Ixpa girl. Ayela.
The thing is tho that the Ixpa’s are not from Mexico. They are a part
of a Brazilian tribe, who somehow stole over Mexico’s Southern Border,
then got stuck in Puxtla, Oxa. Then got to know some triques and made
their way up here. Really rare and a bizarre group to the Mexican
Indians. An “exotic” people.
Filli and I bust open another Coke and reminisce to his 7th birthday
when this exotic group arrived. They are exotic, more so to me than
even the Zapotepos which rarely arrive from Guerrerro. They are so
otherworldly, like something from a National Geographic page as the
women go topless and bath in the open…………………….and the little boys wear
a little leather pouch around a strategic area, and even the big boys
revert to this on the days off. They will live in the Camp but apart
in their yurts, thee mud and stick huts that they are already
constructing…………(I sent Aquilino down with my camera tonight hopefully
he’ll have pics by manana. He ‘s on a secret correspondent’s
mission.)
So I look forward to seeing if they will remember me, if they are the
same families who were here years ago and a million other things.
There is a buzz of excitement as I now here other children telling
Frank downstairs that “they” are back.
I am blessed to live this excitement. But MOSTLY truly the blessing is
the smile on Filli’s face when he arrived. And the way he included ME
in the neighborhood excitement. Taunting me with his “knowledge” but I
m grateful that I have been accepted. Like the news arrived and it
needed to be delivered and though I am a foreigner, I am on the
“pipeline”. A neighbor. It is a privilege for which I thank Jesus.
For me it is a big deal to feel a PART of the community, not a visitor
but a member. It is the Gospel that has made us such for no other
glue exists between us but that we all BELIEVE in HIM.
Praise JESUS

Prayer

On June 17, 2013 By Harvest of Faith ChurchIn church locator southaven msLeave a comment

Faith will come as you hear from Him. the Prayer of faith is prayed once but the prayer of fellowship with Him and listening to His direction is continual . He is always speaking we just need to tune in to what He is saying. . I like to do it this way.
I say while in a quite place. The Lord loves me and wants me to know. Then I shut up and write down what I get impressed on my heart and mind. Then roll it over in your mind and see what the reply does for my clarity of direction , Try it

You Are a Giver

On June 13, 2013June 13, 2013 By Harvest of Faith ChurchIn church locator southaven ms, Faith, harvest of faith church southaven ms, liberty in christ, Richard Chambliss southaven ms, southaven ms, southaven ms churches, word of faith, Yahweh, YashuaLeave a comment

You Are a Giver
Luke 6:38 “give, and it will be given to you. they will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. for by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
Jesus makes this statement of truth or reality. that if we give we will have it given to us. God made you to be a giver. Why did He do this . what is His purpose in creating you to be a giver?
You where formed or made a giver. You are one already. The challenge is are we functioning in what He created us to be.
Isa 44:24 thus says the LORD, your redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by myself and spreading out the earth all alone, Jer 1:5 “before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Realize this : You are already formed as such. You only require activation.
You know if you get a credit card. you are already approved for a line of credit. It is yours. But you have to call and active it n order to receive the benefit.

He made you a giver. How do I know this?
Ge 1:26 ¶ then god said, “let us make man in our image, according to our likeness;
God is a giver: Joh 3:16 “for god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Ro 4:17 (as it is written, “A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU”) in the presence of him whom he believed, even god, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.
What he can do a does is to tempt you that this Word is not real. he seeksYou do not have to do anything to become what He has made you you do have to do something to activate yourself.

Jas 2:20 but are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?
Jas 2:26 for just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Your faith in who he made you to be activates you. Faith involves both words and deeds to be real faith.

To activate yourself as a giver you must give. The result is thatas a active giver you will have given to you. Now the enemy can not and is powerless to stop this universal law of giving to discourage you into not activating this reality.

hab 2:10 “you have devised a shameful thing for your house by cutting off many peoples; so you are sinning against yourself.
11 “surely the stone will cry out from the wall, and the rafter will answer it from the framework.
12 “woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and founds a town with violence!
13 “is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts that peoples toil for fire, and nations grow weary for nothing?

gal 6:6 the one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.
7 do not be deceived, god is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
8 for the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap eternal life.
9 let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
10 so then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

heb 12:3 for consider him who has endured such hostility by sinners against himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

I have observed that people who were once into giving soon cease in their giving and become cynical thus become inactive in their purpose in this life

The statment in Luke 6:38 about giving is preceded by Luke 6:20through verse 37. In our zeal to get people to give many time preachers fail to enlighten people of the whole scene. Jesus starts out revealing what we would call the negative circumstance of this anointing of giving.

Like 6:20 ¶ and turning his gaze toward his disciples, he began to say, “blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of god.
21 “blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
22 “blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the son of man.
23 “be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. for in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
24 “but woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.
25 “woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
26 “woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.
27 ¶ “but I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 “whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.
30 “give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.
31 “treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
38 “give, and it will be given to you. they will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. for by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

Givers start out poor, hungry, sad, hated and persecuted. In other words we start out inactive and in the natural incapable of giving and being what He created us to be.

His reply to this is Luke 6:30 “give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.31 “treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

Then He instructs us in the attitude and actions to maintain in order to continue your ministry of giving.

Luke 6: 32 “if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? for even sinners love those who love them.
33 “if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? for even sinners do the same.
34 “if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.
35 “but love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the most high; for he himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
36 “be merciful, just as your father is merciful.
37 ¶ “do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.

The Three challenges to activating and maintaining your purpose n giving are.

1. Realize you are a giver ( I ask you to say this out load right noe) I am a Giver God made me a giver. I am not going to be one I am a giver.
2. Realize and refuse to allow your present circumstances to stop you from doing what you are. you are a giver so act on it give. Find something you have no matter how small and find someplace to give it. Remember whatever you sow you wil reap. If you sow money ,money will be reaped if you sow time, time will be reaped. kindness, kindness will be reaped. I remember one story of a woman who knitted blankets and gave them away. The lady died poor but upon her dead it was discovered in her room in a closet an abundance of blankets that people had given her. she died rich in blankets but poor in money. If only she had understood the law of sowing she could have had abundance of money.
3. Realize that your biggest challenge is keeping your attitude regarding love and forgiveness right. People you give to will probably not be the ones who give back in fact they may appear ungrateful and even hurt you. Your reward comes from God not people.It come through people. People are the channel not the source. People are the channel of God’s blessing but also the channel of the enemies discouragement. People like yourself can yield both to the spirit of God and the spirit of the enemy. Whoever you submit your self to you become a servant to. I admonish you submit yourself to the spirit of Life and be blessed.

Snakes on the Porch

On June 2, 2013 By Harvest of Faith ChurchIn church locator southaven msLeave a comment

Hey everybody!

First of all I must start out with a big PRAISE JESUS!!!
Yesterday morning I stepped out on to the back stairs to get some eggs for the kitchen’s meal ( a cake actually) and I leaned down to pick up my egg basket only to be BITTEN BY A RATTLESNAKE.
I immediately started to freak out. It was about 3 ft long and hand a grip on my right hand between my thumb and first finger, right in that meaty part of my hand. I slung it back and forth and hollered for Frank who was starting the truck. He didn’t hear me but Aquilino did and came running but when he saw what happened he was just mortified and stood still then started crying. I finally realized nobody was going to be arriving to get the hideous thing off me so I grabbed a machete Frank keeps by the door and whacked it in halves. It still didn’t let go! And I started kind of seeing pinpoints of light and getting ready to pass out. Frank then showed up and pried the snakes jaw off of me. We immediately started praying, and I mean I felt faith rise up in me like a wave because I think I knew that if the Lord didn’t intervene I was gonna be really sick or die. But I recalled how Jesus have us power over scorpions and snakes and started proclaiming that. Frank drug me inside and he sliced the wound and sucked out as much blood as he could and we kept praying.
After about 30 minutes, we were in the truck headed to town to get an anti venom shot. I was feeling cold and sweating and real nauseous. We got to Dr Vasquez’s office and Frank ran in and told them what had happened and that we had the snake in a bag in the truck,…………….THEY HAD NO ANTI VENOM. They called all the hospitals and none was available except one dose in Mexicali.

By then I had calmed down and we were praying with more peace. And i felt okay. Praise Jesus. We did order the anti venom but it would be 3 hours getting here so we knew we had to rely on the Lord.
I am so proud of My King and His Healing Power and Authority……………tonite I am fine, my hand IS sore and swollen, but not discolored and I have the anti venom here in our medicine bag. I never ended up using it.
GOD IS SO GOOD.
I am a little weak had a little nausea and dizziness but really no other symptoms. An dit was a great testimony! With Aquilino nd a few other kids seeing it happen word spread thru our area quickly and the indians started bringing me herbs and sticks and “curas” and I have been able to show them the snake pinned to the fence and my wound and tell them how Jesus healed me!
Pretty cool.
Being snake bitten has been a fear of mine over the years and now I’ve overcome it thinks to the Lord’s Power which is the same today as thousands of years ago! Never doubt that!

Love to everyone,

The weather is warm here and supposed to be warmer tomorrow, so lots of little ones will come get their water. Each child under 5 brings their own 2 liter coke bottle for personal use, and those over 6 will carry a five gallon container or bring a jerry rigged milk crate/cart with wheels filled with 2 liter bottles. Currently, we are providing water (Yahweh is) for exactly 68 people. We know because recently, (two weeks ago) the Lord showed us He wanted us to start having the people /children sign for water just to have a record. So after years of willy nilly doing it, now we have an accurate record. The kids are ino it. They like making their little mark on a clipboard that hangs by the water tank…….. another thing is that they are so GRATEFUL. For the first time after years of doing this I notice that NOW the people stand below the balcony before getting water and yell, “HERMANO/A Can we have water?” “YES, we yell back, and they say GRACIAS YAHWEH, GRACIAS HERMANO/A” . Cool.
