Rebecca is a missionary to Spain whose husband
was the Pastor of their church but left her and
their children. She first came to our ministry
room almost 6 years ago and attributes our ministry
team with "saving her life."  She is still going
strong and since then, her relationship with the
ministry has grown.  She sent us this short note
in response to the last newsletter:

"Hear hear!!!  The name of this ministry brings hope and
faith for impossible situations."

Blessings!
Rebecca, Spain


Tracy in Canada sent us this note:

Just read your email,
I think its wonderful how different ministries are set up to
meet the needs of all in The Body. Your team were a blessing
to me when I couldnt sleep one night and its a unique
feature you have and Im sure many are blessed. It does take
time for people to truly understand how The Spirit works if
not taught correctly and walking close with Him. It took me
a few years of searching and crying out to The Father to
understand this although it seems pretty basic.  I think it
is a lack of knowledge when people dont grasp the working of
The Spirit thats why many people are perishing spiritually.
Bless You
Keep up the good work.

His Goodness and Mercy
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Greetings, today I want to talk about the goodness of
Yahweh.

It is not so often that I get to put out a newsletter that
the subject is my own personal testimony or praise report,
just because of the nature of the work of the ministry.
Yesterday as I sat in a chair, I was overwhelmed with awe
and I could not help but reflect on the awesome faithfulness
and majestic power and might of my Father in Heaven.

Some of you may recall a message that you had received one
time from our ministry and it talked about the miracle that
I experienced when I had a need for help with my teeth. That
was many years ago, probably about five years ago now. But
living by faith and having no regular income and depending
upon the Heavenly Father to provide  my every need has been
an exciting journey and this was early in my walk of living
this way and I had some really serious teeth problems.  I
had probably easily a ten thousand dollar need and did not
have one thousand dollars much less ten thousand.  I had
prayed and I cast my cares upon the Heavenly Father and I
told Him that I really needed His help because this was
serious.  I had various problems with my teeth, but the most
serious was that I had a mouth full of silver fillings,
which they call amalgam fillings which are actually in fact,
mercury.

Mercury is the second most toxic substance on the elemental
chart.  In other words, it is the second most poisonous
substance on the earth after plutonium.  Uranium which is
less poisonous but still deadly is being used in depleted
uranium shells in Iraq. It is said that the effects of this
depleted uranium will last for one hundred million years, of
course we will not be around long enough to worry about
that.  It is wreaking havoc in the entire country of Iraq
and upon the US Military who have served there and it is a
horrible horrible story.  If you have a chance, do a search
on Google for the words 'depleted uranium'.  Uranium is not
even as bad as plutonium and mercury is worse than uranium.
Once you see how serious and damaging uranium is you will
then have an idea how damaging mercury is.

I think it has been said that one drop, one milliliter of
mercury in a body of water, ten acres around, one drop would
utterly destroy all the living life in that body of water.
Mercury is actually so toxic and deadly that dental offices
across the country are regulated very strictly with
incredibly severe penalties if they violate those
restrictions.  For example, a dental office may not bury
mercury, they may not allow mercury to come in contact with
water.  They have very strict and serious guidelines for how
mercury is to be handled and disposed of.  If they fail to
meet those requirements they are severely penalized
financially and potentially run risks of having their
licenses revoked, of course not on their first infraction.

The EPA considers mercury to be a serious matter.  Dental
offices continue to put mercury into people's teeth as
healthy and acceptable fillings, where your saliva more or
less comes into contact with it every day as you chew, and
toxic fumes are released and then absorbed into the blood
stream via the mucus membranes of the mouth.

It is one of the most serious health concerns there are and
so I needed this mercury out of my mouth, I had it every
where.  Top bottom, sides, my mouth was just loaded with
mercury and  was directly responsible for many of the health
problems I had at the time.  I had cancer, IBS, mitral valve
prolapse of the heart, heart problems, candida very
severely, I had parasites in my digestive system and
probably a lot of other places as well.  Basically I was
dying.

One of the steps necessary to become well and to be healed
was to remove the poison from my mouth in my head.

This is something that the Heavenly Father showed me, no
doctor told me this and so I prayed and miraculously the
Heavenly Father connected me with different people and
different resources and before long, all the mercury was out
of my mouth.  It is quite a story.

As I sat in this chair yesterday, I could not but weep.  I
was not weeping because I was sad, but weeping because I was
overwhelmed by awe.  My teeth have been very healthy ever
since I took care of them and ever since the Father made a
way for me to get them restored.  I do not use toothpaste,
but I have no cavities now after almost seven years.  Of
course, I have good hygiene, my gums are very healthy.  The
roots of my teeth are very deep and strong and I know this
because yesterday it was confirmed.

Recently, I was eating some popcorn and I like to chew the
kernels that are partially un-popped.  I have never tried to
chew un-popped kernels, but the ones that are slightly
popped.  I was chewing and I was not being careful and I had
actually broke off a part of my molar in two areas in my
mouth in two places of my mouth.  One on the upper right and
bottom left  Long story short, I had some problems and again
we are talking about a few thousand dollars of dental
repair.  I began to pray and I told the Heavenly Father that
I understand how important our teeth are to our health.  I
also understand my responsibility is to take care of this
temple.  The Scriptures say we are the temple of the Holy
Spirit.

In the book of 1st Corinthians, there is a very severe
warning, now this is in the New Testament, and this if for
those who do not believe that the Old Testament counts
anymore.  I believe that the whole Word is true and that the
whole Word applies today with a few exceptions, specifically
in regards to animal sacrifices.  The whole Word is True and
the whole word is important for us to know, to hide in our
heart and to live by.  I understand this subject because of
the things that the Father has taught me.  In the book of
1Cor, our Father says that the person who defiles His
temple, i.e., their body, that person the Heavenly Father
will destroy. (see 1Cor 3:17) Please go and read it for
yourself.  I am not exaggerating.

I take my health very seriously, I do not worship my body
but I am very respectful because of my fear of Yahweh, which
is a righteous, good thing, we are commanded to fear Him and
of course the primary meaning of fear is reverence, to
respect, to obey, to see Him with awe, etc.  that also
includes to be afraid of, but to be afraid of in a way that
is respectful, not to be afraid in the way people typically
live with fear.

In any event, I have prayed for this need because, if your
teeth are healthy, that is a big part of your overall
health, and if your teeth are not healthy, your health is
going to deteriorate.  That is a fact.  I understand this
and I just did not want any trouble with my teeth.  I take
care of them and I rarely go to have a check up. Haven't had
one in two and a half years.  I take care of my teeth so
that I do not need to see anyone.  If you eat the right way
and take care of your teeth, you may never have to see a
dentist your whole life.  This may be shocking to most
people, but this is true.

Now, I have these broken teeth, I had this need, so I began
to pray and petition that the Heavenly Father would take
care of me.  Some couple of weeks went by and then I went up
to Lake Murray in Ardmore, OK, to celebrate the Feast of
Tabernacles.  This is one of the three pilgrimage feasts
each year that the men are instructed to make a pilgrimage
in observance of Yahweh's holy days.  I traveled there and
met up with four hundred other people from all over the
country and we celebrated the feast of tabernacles for seven
days. While I was there one night I was sitting around a
fire with a small group of people of four or five people and
one of them began to tell a story  which was quite
fascinating about another man who was a dentist who rides a
bicycle everywhere he goes.  He does this because he is very
conscious about saving money.  He wants more resources to do
more good and help more people that have a need in terms of
dental care. He also has no staff, so when you call his
office you get a voicemail and he personally returns the
calls, personally schedules and personally interviews you
and has you fill out any necessary paperwork, he has no
technicians, no help whatsoever.  He has made these choices
because all these things cost money.  Typically what happens
is that cost is passed on to the buyer, in this case, the
patient.

I was very impressed by the story and I said to this woman
that I had just met, I said 'well you know I have been
praying that the Father would arrange for me to find someone
to help me with my teeth, I have two broken teeth."  She
said "oh, would you like to met this man?"  I said "I sure
would, where is he at?"  Low and behold, he is just down the
road from where I live.  Now, I am up in OK but I am
currently staying predominately in a part of TX and this man
just happens to be within the vicinity of the where I am
living by ten to fifteen minutes.

I called him up and told him about my problem, I told him
that I was in the ministry and that I am an itinerant
missionary and that I do not have a job or an income stream
and that I would be willing to pay but I would not be able
to pay as much as other people due to the fact that I do not
have insurance and I don't have much money.  I told him that
in case he did not want to take me on.

He called me back and he scheduled me for an appointment and
I went out there yesterday.  We spent about a good 45
minutes just talking before there was any real talk about my
teeth.  I will tell you that I was just so blown away
because this man, his life is, see he is a true believer. He
is a true Christian.  You see that it just so happens that I
was listening to a message by a man that I have a lot of
respect for and his name is David Wilkerson.  The title of
the message is "Christian In Name Only."

It was a powerful message.  It is a message that is
consistent to what I have been teaching and preaching for
the past seven years.  It is a message that most people who
call themselves Christians do not want to hear and that they
do not like and when they hear it they get offended and they
think that there is something wrong with you. They want to
kill the messenger rather than prove the message. What I am
seeing little by little is that these kinds of messages that
I have been preaching for years are being preached more and
more by big name preachers.  Not all of them of course,
because most of the big name preachers are merchandisers,
they are marketers, they are businessman who are making
merchandise out of the religious societies and denominations
that are gullible and don't know the Scriptures and so they
are able to make a fortune by their tactics and their
techniques.  They are not lead by the Spirit.  They are not
full of the Spirit.  They are false teachers, they are false
prophets and they are leading many astray and they are
certainly contributing to the situation that we have in
America.

America is a sick nation in so many ways.  It is a wicked
nation.  People do not like to hear that either and it gets
their dander up and they are ready to fight and they really
despise you when you make such a comment.  But I am here to
tell you friends, that America is a wicked nation.  Sure,
there are individuals and there are even organizations
within this country that are doing much good and may Yahweh
continue to bless them.  As a country collectively, overall
as society, America is wicked; it's government is wicked;
it's people are wicked; it's works are wicked.  People do
not like to hear these things but these are the things that
are going to save some; maybe many.  The truth is if you do
not repent from your wickedness you will surely perish. (Luk
13)

In any event, talking with this man was just an incredible
experience although he is a dentist, he has no purpose no
mission of his own. This is what he told me, he says that he
prays everyday and that his prayer is for the Heavenly
Father to only send His children who need help.  Well you
might say that this is not good, what about people that need
to hear the gospel, etc.  Well, you see, that is just a
point of misunderstanding on your part then because the
Heavenly Father's children are all of those whom He knows;
whom He has chosen; whom will reign with Him for all
eternity. They are going to be saved even if they are not
saved this moment, He knows those whom are His.  If at this
moment, they do not claim to know Him and they are not
walking in a right relationship with Him, we will just say
that they are sinners, they still are His children, because
He has marked them, He has chosen them and He is going to
save them.

These are the people, whether they be in that category or
the category that they are truly walking by the Spirit and
are already born again.  Whether it is one or the other,
they are all His children. These are the people that this
dentist prays that the Heavenly Father leads to him so that
he may help and bless them.  He told me some of the stories
of the people that he has meet and how it happens.  I do not
believe that he spends 45 mins with each person and he felt
that our meeting was quite special and that he was blessed
by our meeting.

One of the things I was able to do was to bless him with a
gift.  He has a very dear brother who is not a blood brother
but a brother in the faith, who has been diagnosed with
terminal cancer.  The doctors cannot help and he has been
told to prepare to die.  People have been praying for this
man and I brought to him the answer to their prayers.  This
was very fascinating because before he knew that I had the
answer and before I offered the answer to him, he asked me
very specifically because of my card and some discussion we
had about the healing work that I do, with people and their
health, he asked me a very specific question.  I said 'oh
yeah' and  I answered his question as specifically as he
asked it.  Then he told me the story about his brother.
After he told me the story, I reached into my bag and said
"here I want to bless you with this." His eyes got moist and
he was almost blown away because for him it was a
supernatural experience and also a supernatural experience
for me.

Basically this man is going to fix my two broken teeth and
some small issues I have with my teeth.  I do not have any
cavities or other problems.  But I do have a cosmetic issue
that I never have addressed for various reasons and I also
had some biological dental work done before which is all
natural. There is not really a problem with it per-say
except that the work that was done before left a little bit
of an area that food could be pushed into and can create
problems as time goes on.  He wants to resurface and re-fix
it, so that there will not be any problems in the future.

Actually he will be fixing two broken teeth, doing a
cosmetic fix for me and two other little jobs that are more
preventive for the future.  Altogether we are talking about
upwards of $5,000.  He is going to do this work for me for
around $500.  I will be able to come up with it.  It is an
incredible blessing, we are talking about 10% of what most
people would have to pay.

As I sat there in the dentist chair and he was doing
something, I just kind of started weeping because of the
whole experience and the goodness of our Father.  I also had
an opportunity to witness to him even though he is a man
that is older than me, and he is very strong in the faith
and he is clearly full of the Spirit, he could certainly
teach me some things.  I was blessed by him and it was an
awesome experience but I was able to minister to him and
share some things with him that he told me, point blank that
made a difference for him and really showed him some things.
I plan to continue to have a relationship with this brother
as time goes on.

I wanted to share this story with you because this is not
your typical restored marriage praise report, teaching about
marriage.  It is necessary though.  Our walk and our life
with the Heavenly Father is a lot more than what happens in
a marriage situation.  This is what I have striven for the
entire time of this ministry.  It is to teach people about a
whole relationship, a healthy relationship with our Heavenly
Father.

People come to us and understandably, they are hurting and
they are obsessed with their problem.  It is ok. I
understand and I have compassion for that and we have always
done our best to encourage people who come to us in that way
and pray with them and to be a support for them.  We really
want to move them from self preoccupation and obsession and
what oftentimes is utter idolatry.  We want to move them to
a place of wholeness and health.  It does not do any good
for a person who is broken, when I say broken, I mean that
they are not right, they are sick in their soul, in their
thinking.  It does not do much good to take a person like
that and put them together with another person like that. It
doesn't do anybody any good.  Part of what the Heavenly
Father wants to do in a broken marriage, in a marriage that
He is going to put back together miraculously,
magnificently, mightily is first to take a person, the
person that is looking and searching and is open, He wants
to take that person and make them whole.

If you look at the life of Yahushua that is what He did.
Everywhere He went, everyone He ministered to personally, He
made them whole.  He did not allow them to set the agenda.
Whatever they may have thought the problem was, whatever
they may have wanted.  But what got addressed was wholeness,
healing, health, restoration of that PERSON.  You have to
have a whole, healthy person before it does much good to put
them together with another person.  The reason that people
come apart is because they are not healthy and they are not
whole spiritually.  If you have two people that are both
walking in complete surrender to the Father and are lead and
filled with His Spirit, they do not come apart friends. They
just do not come apart.

That's why I believe that the admonition that Yahushua gave
us in the book of Matthew is so powerful and so clear, it
says "what therefore that Yahweh has joined together, let
not man put asunder."  Those kinds of relationships that I
am speaking of, when both people are surrendered and are
walking in the Spirit; they do not come apart.  That is not
to say that they do not have challenges but they overcome in
the midst of their challenges because they have a love for
Yahweh and they have a fear to walk in His ways and to be
respectful and obedient and they would never think to tear
apart what He has put together.

Our focus as a ministry is to point to the Truth.  The whole
Truth.  The Truth about the healing of their body. The Truth
of walking in a right relationship with the Father.  The
Truth about many things in this life that include the
marriage issue.  Our name is Marriage Healing International.
Do you know who named us?  The Heavenly Father.  I did not
pick this name and that name will not change as long as we
do the work that He has called us to do.  This is what He
told me, by His Spirit seven years ago.  He said to me as
clear as I am speaking to you right now, I heard these words
without any confusion, without any doubt, without any
wondering.  I knew who was speaking to me and I knew exactly
what was being said and I knew where to find it.  It came
from the book of Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and the
callings of Yahweh are without repentance."  You see He
doesn't change His gifts and His callings.  That phrase
"without repentance" means irrevocable.  Look up the word
irrevocable.  It means it cannot be taken back. It does not
change.  It is consistent with His basic nature in that He
does not change.  We know from the study of the Scriptures
that on occasion that He may change His mind about a
particular matter but His character never changes and His
promises never change and His Word never changes.  His
gifts, what He gives to you and His calling, what He calls
you to do, never changes.

It is my hope that you will receive and that you will
understand that the whole purpose of this message is to
encourage you.  To bless you.  Our Heavenly Father says that
we do not have to worry about anything.  We do not have to
take thought for tomorrow.  That is what that means
literally in black and white terms.  We do not have to take
any thought for tomorrow. We do not have to worry about what
we are to eat or to wear.  It is not "a job" that we have to
look to for our security.  I believe in working and I work
hard. I work everyday and I probably work harder than most
people do, but I do not have a 'job' because I am slave to
the Master and I do not have time to work for a company, a
government, or some organization that is busy chasing money
and their own agenda.  I am more interested in building the
kingdom of my Father, so I have chosen to remain free to do
His will and to trust Him to provide for my every need.  You
know what, He never has come up short.....never!

If you or someone you know would like help in the area of
your health and healing of your body... regardless of the
prognosis or problem that has been pronounced upon you, then
contact us.  We have answers..
