Home of the Orbs

I have read that orbs are messages from the Lord.

In Ezekiel, he tells the story of the living creatures (Cherubim) and the wheels (in Hebrew aka orbs) around it.

There are 8 Bibles verses that discuss Cherubim.

Genesis 3:22-24

Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"-- therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.

Ezekiel 10:9-16

Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone. As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel. When they moved, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went. 

Their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them. The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels. And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar. Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them. 

2 Samuel 22:11

And He rode on a cherub and flew; And He appeared on the wings of the wind.

Psalms 18:10

He rode upon a cherub and flew; And He sped upon the wings of the wind.

Ezekiel 9:3

Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case.

Ezekiel 10:3-4

Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.

Ezekiel 11:22-23

Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them. The glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood over the mountain which is east of the city.

Revelation 15:7

Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

My curiosity grew stronger when I watched a film titled Jinn, based on the Islam Mythology. I had learned from the filmmaker it was their version of the "Cherubim" from the Bible. 

I had concluded that after learning more about the living creature. They are clearly present in my home. I have a lot photos of these orbs in my home. Here is the most recent.

I was taking photos of my home to send to an international student organization. They needed photos of my home. The sofa covers get a lot of  fuzzy stuff but these are the same I have all over in my home when I play worship music.

This was taken several day before the above photo. I didn't notice the orb up in the corner until I was putting these photo together to show my living room and family room. These are raw photos. Only altered in text and to point the orbs.

Both of the orbs have purple which in the spiritual world it means a "message from God".

One day, I was just capturing orbs in my home. But one group caught my attention. It was a "heart" like the one that my sister received.

My first time experience the miracle of orbs in my life. I was Water Baptize in March of 2015. I visited my sister for her birthday.  This is what we had discovered. 

This is the first photo that I took at my home after this amazing experience at my sisters. It just continued after that.

When I took this photo, I was taking so many photos. It was ridiculous. But I didn't know what this mean. After reviewing the photos, I noticed the "the Orb heart". It was the only one out of the many. I would like to thin of this as a BLESSING than luck.

Here is video to explain Cherubim.

 I listened to his man as well. I thought this information was insightful. 

You can find a lot more videos on this topic. Always do your research to help build your faith. But I know it is a blessing from God to show His love and protection.

What is Your Prominent Feature :Play Buzz Quiz

I love playing these games by Play Buzz because it is fun and relaxing. Each time I play, it has been pretty much accurate. I don't know its scientific method to figure out the questions and how it calculates your answers.

I know what is my prominent feature: EYES. I have light green eyes. My eyes change colors depending on my clothes and mood.

People told me that my eyes looked green, blue, and gray considering I have my dad's eyes. My mom was born with light eyes that turned into copper brown. I do not have the same colored eyes as my siblings since we range from green-blue eyes to dark brown.

Our children are mixed with various eye colors even though they are dominantly brown eyed kids.
My son has blue eyes and my daughter has brown eyes (but the shape of her eyes stand out).

So I played the game. I got EYES.

You are a people's person and you may seem like an open book, but you have some secrets hidden behind that cool gaze. You have many friends and a unique sense of style in your looks and accessories that everyone is drawn to. You can feel awkward talking to the other gender romantically, but little do you know, your nervousness can be one of your most adorable qualities. You may be a spiritual person, or at least have your own personal philosophy. You can easily convince others to do things for you and a wide variety of people will approach you throughout your life.

So if you need to relax from a stressful day, play this game. Maybe it will tell you something about yourself. Then, look for God to help you elaborate on these strengths. He did create SCIENCE and man's ability to use it under His guidance.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 1

¹³ And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all [things] that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

¹⁴ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

¹⁵ [That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

¹⁶ I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

¹⁷ And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

Storm of the Fallen Cries

There are days I just want to fall and cry where I stand. People do not understand how hard I try not to fall onto my knees.

I give it to God. I allow His Love to give me the strength.  There are days my head just hurts....not from stress. It is from cries inside my soul. I want to live in a better world but I know He placed me on this Earth to bring his message even if I do not always get it right, but I know in my Heart what he wants from me.

The storm never stays calm when it lands on my head. It meets with disappointments, rejections, and lies. But God will make it all disappear so it will be part of my past.

Proverbs 10:25

When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.

Letter to My Church Family

"On April 12th, Pastor Kim instructed us to do the Gift of Praising. Amber and I were partnered. I was telling her that I don’t speak tongues. I tried but nothing comes out.

So she praised over me for 2 minutes and asked Him to give me the Gift of Tongues. Then she started speaking in tongues. I kept saying “Hallelujah” then my  body felt lighter and lifted then I went from “Hallelujah” to “Hala” (my spelling of the word).  I couldn't say anything else. I never really say “Hallelujah”. Amber told me in her home church that they are taught to say “Hallelujah” as a starting point which she edified that it came from the Lord.

God knows that I  like spiritual and earthly connections. So I googled “Hala”. I discovered this:

In the Urban Dictionary:

A beautiful girl who doesn't know that she's beautiful, and even insists on denying it. Beautiful here doesn't refer to her physical appearance; she may be incredibly sexy but her heart is her true treasure. She's soft and tender like the inside of a rose, she's reserved and closed like its outside. On the outside a rose's color is faded, on the inside it is the most beautiful and passionate color of red seen by man. Her thorns stubbornly draw blood to resist human touch and they succeed at keeping people away. She doesn't let her guard down easily because she refuses to show glimpses of her vulnerable beauty to those who don't deserve it. Don't let her innocent smile fool you, it hides the deepest secrets. Don't let her sweet eyes fool you, they're fearless. If you are worthy, she alone will let you inside her heart. If you are worthy, she will love you like no other, and you will heal.

The most amazing person you will probably ever meet. Really good at dancing, funny, too sexy to even comprehend, just as smart as she is beautiful. Pretty pro-active with anything cool and helpful. If you don't already know a hala you should probably try and met one.

Religiously:

Hala is an Arabic female given name meaning "halo". It is also an Egyptian and Hebrew name.

A halo (from Greek ἅλως, halōs;^[1] also known as a nimbus,aureole, glory, or gloriole) is a ring of light that surrounds a person in art. They have been used in the iconography of many religions to indicate holy or sacred figures, and have at various periods also been used in images of rulers or heroes. In the sacred art of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Hinduism,Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, among other religions, sacred persons may be depicted with a halo in the form of a circular glow, or in Asian art flames, around the head, or around the whole body, this last often called a mandorla. Halos may be shown as almost any colour, but as they represent light are most often depicted as golden, yellow, white, or red when flames are depicted.

Muslim Meaning: 

The name Hala is a Muslim baby name. In Muslim the meaning of the name Hala is: Lunar halo. Glory. 

SoulUrge Number: 2

People with this name have a deep inner desire for love and companionship, and want to work with others to achieve peace and harmony.

Expression Number: 4

People with this name tend to be orderly and dedicated to building their lives on a solid foundation of order and service. They value truth, justice, and discipline, and may be quick-tempered with those who do not. Their practical nature makes them good at managing and saving money, and at building things in the material world. Because of their focus on order and practicality, they may seem overly cautious and conservative at times.

Praise (halal) ye the Lord, praise (halal) o ye servants of the Lord, praise (halal) the name of the Lord. Ps 113: 1-3

Praise (halal) the Lord! Praise (halal) God in his sanctuary; Praise (halal) him in his mighty expanse. Ps 150:1

Let them praise (halal) his name in the dance: let them sing praises with the timbrel and harp. Ps 149:3

Halal is a primary Hebrew root word for praise. Our word “hallelujah” comes from this base word. It means “to be clear, to shine, to boast, show, to rave, celebrate, to be clamorously foolish.”

What  I found most interesting that in our Single Parenting Group, reading the book “The Lost Women of the Bible”,  I told them that I felt a strong connection with Hagar (the Egyptian woman) since high school. We believe that her tribe was denied to be part of the Tribe of Israel. I had discovered recently that black African slaves were mostly Muslim faith descendants. And majority of black Americans are Christians. So God is bringing it back to full circle how it was supposed to be from the beginning to be under one house."

Your descendants have surrender to you. 

Lead Me....

   John 15: 18-19

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Prophetic Message

On March 30th, 2015, I  was baptized for the first time. There were about 30 people being baptized for the first time or the second time. People testified why it was important for them to be baptized. After we were immersed in the blessed water, we received a prophetic message by God.

My testimonial was "I just wanted to be one with the Lord".

My prophetic  message by my baptism leader was, "I love your tenacity, Fight the good fight for you shall walk and not be weary, run and not faint".

This message hit me hard because my faith is strong but I do get tired. There are days I want to walk away from all the people because of the lack of support that I feel from my so-called friends.

They speak of support but their actions speak louder than their words.

I  trust the Lord will get me where I need to be, but my body becomes weak from disappointments. But He is placing new people in my life who will make me stronger in my faith through their prophetic words and messages.

Isaiah 40 : 8

Allow God's word become your JOY and PEACE. He will restore  you. He will renew you. He will rebuild you. And in his salvation, you will never die because we have Christ in us every day. And his word is forever like this bridge that I called the FOREVER BRIDGE.

"The grass withers, the flowers fades. But the word of our God stands forever". Isaiah 40:8 NKJV

Freedom Floods

September 11, 2014 :

 "Freedom floods our hearts the moment we learn that we do not have to be perfect to experience God's love and salvation"

by Charles F. Stanley
 Pathway to His Presence: A Daily Devotional

Read this  passage at 7:55 PM.

Less than an hour ago, I told my mom, my editor-of-chief, that I can't be perfect in my writings. I can't wait for her to be available because my thoughts are constantly moving to subject to subject, emotion to emotion, prayer to prayer, inspiration to inspiration. I would flood her inbox  to edit my work as I am doing to mine.

My work will never be perfect but I am flooded with so much freedom that I want to share it.

Walk with me as I will walk with you in our spiritual breathe from the single strain of our hair to the cuticle of our toe nails.

2 Timothy 1:7

"God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline." 

This verse is extremely powerful because we are/had living/lived our lives being timid instead of using the strength that God had given to us.

For myself, it was hard for me to see the light in a world of darkness. People infested me with their dark views, words, energy, and so on. I enjoyed many times the stories and delighted myself in some people miseries because it was not me. I felt no love or emotions for their pain.

As I started to grow in spirituality through prayers. I needed to know my purpose. I searched and searched for answers that it drove me nuts. It made me sad. I wanted to know what was beyond the universe. I wanted to know what was in the deepest oceans and caves.

I had a lot of questions that I knew they will never be answered. 

Keep reading your verses and find comfort in knowingly your questions will eventually be answered. 

Our Coming.

In a world of the imperfect and unfit, we find ourselves looking for answers. Why poverty? Why war? Why hate?

In every country, there are political wars. In my country, it is political, race, social, class, and so on. The minorities are considered lower class based on color. People would call them the “entitled” people even though African descendents have one of the richest Biblical histories.  However, these critics forget their faults because they were raised to believe they are privileged because of their color. For example, a poor 50 year old white man with a 8^th grade education would think he is superior than President Obama because of his Kenyan father.

American society fails in many areas, because these race division was not created by God. It is a man-made so one race could feel superior.  Race of man will never be higher than God’s Tribe of Man which were people of all shades.  There are 12 tribes of God as followed Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Ephraim and Manasseh. Their blood line is  strong and spread wide and far.  As stated on the website http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/tribes.html , “In Egypt "the Israelites were fertile and prolific; they multiplied and increased very greatly," and there they became the "Israelite people." For  racist white, black, brown, and yellow Americans, who believe they are the chosen people, may be actually causing harm to God tribe’s bloodline that encompasses all these people.

So our obedience is to be kind to all people of all races, religions, and faith. Jesus asks us to be more like him. Our actions will determine our destiny that he plans for us. We are the messengers of all actions and words through his grace and mercy, we will succeed and save  people from darkness that the devil and demons prey on.

Let’s be soldiers of HOPE in JESUS’ NAME because we are his bloodline.

We are the daughters and sons of  Eve (“source of life” child of God),  Sarah (“noblewoman” child of God) and Hagar (“uncertain” child of God), and Mary (“Mother of God”)

PUNISHMENT

God is a loving and compassionate God.  He sent the Holy Spirit to guide us and enable us with the power to feel the love within ourselves as well as the love that surrounds us.  We experience His Love and Power in different ways, but when we are in our deepest and darkest days or hours, we may not see it or believe that It is near, but it is.  Because of the darkness we may be blind to how the Holy Spirit is manifesting Itself in our lives, or maybe we just refuse to see it.

If we take the Holy Spirit’s Love and apply it to our lives daily, seconds by seconds, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, month by month, year by year…we will see a change in our lives.

FOLLOW ME AND I WILL SET YOU FREE.

In the United States of America, most Americans are familiar with Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior. Even if you have never heard his speech or lived during the fifties or sixties, his voice is familiar and most people recognize his cry for peace and equality. The iconic words of Dr. King that are most recognized is his spiritual outcry for equality and peace are, “Free at last, free at last, my Lord, I am free at last.”

Dr. King has always been a Christian and based on his remarkable quotes he was a Trinity Christian follower. (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/martin_luther_king_jr.html .

He spoke through the scriptures as his motivation to free all people, and to fight against racism, discrimination and oppression. Jesus, the Son of God, was his motivator and inspiration in his journey to fight for freedom, as many black leaders before him have done since the time of slavery.

Dr. King left a legacy that most likely made his heavenly father proud, when he planted the seeds of faith and love on Earth. He shared the true words of God and brought hope to all of God’s people. Though he did no harm to anyone, his enemies, who were blinded by fear and hatred, assassinated him.

When I was a youth I believed that Christianity was a White man’s religion. Why not?  As was portrayed in the movies and churches, it was a White man who crucified a White man named Jesus. I could not understand why Black people wanted to be Christians, where their Jesus is White, rather than some other religion. Why should not I be the other?

Christianity is not a White man’s religion. It is not a religion. It is a faith in the Trinity.  To be a Christian means that you are a follower of Christ. It is following the teaching of one perfect man, Jesus, Son of Man.

 

Dr. King wasn’t just talking about the physical freedom of citizens of this country but the spiritual freedom of loving all people whether they are rich, poor, black, white, Jewish, Muslim, French, British, And Kenyan, etc.

Even if you are not a Christian, you can still follow Jesus’ teachings to be free. It can make a difference in your life if you choose to practice the teachings of the Bible. We are not perfect, so we will fail. But we learn from our failures and thus are able to relate to others' struggles. If the perfect man can accept our failures as imperfect as we are, then we should be willing to accept others failures as imperfect as they might be.

If history is any indicator, we will always be punished by man for being a Christian.  We are not supposed side with evil by being discriminatory, racist, political hate-baiting, causing pain to others, being neglectful parents, etc…these are sins that will be forgiven if we ask of the Holy Father, God for forgiveness.  It is His promise to us.  If we are led by the LIGHT, then our punishment will diminish and we will become ONE under ONE FAITH and ONE LOVE. History has been known to repeat itself and Christians –By-Name, will lose favor if they do not change.

I AM

I am a daughter
I am a sister
I am a mother
I am a friend
I am God's lamb. He seeks more of us to scatter the seeds of his words. However to be one of the plants, we have to struggle through the hard times (the weeds in our field). We cannot control the weeds that grow in our fields, but we can control how we respond, how we react, and how we feel.

If we follow the WORD of God in Jesus' name and in a Christ-like behavior, we can live free. And the suffocation  from our emotional, physical, and mental disability can slowly be released to a higher level  of spiritual enlightenment by following the Son of Man.

In the book "The Message" presents in text, "...Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly".

Through my personal testimonial, as I have experienced in the last few months, I am finally FREE.
