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 GreeceAncient RomeHinduism,BuddhismIslam 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.

WATER BAPTISM March 30th 2015

I believed in God since childhood, but I did not understand "Jesus". As I have heard from churches and my fellow Christians, he was a man that died for our sins and  born to a virgin girl. I was supposed to believe in this fantasy (as many non-Christians would say) because it was told to me by people who I loved and trusted. So lets review Jesus according to the Bible.

1 Timothy 2:5 

For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Isaiah 9:6 

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 7:14 

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (Prophecy).

Matthew 1:23

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"-- which means, "God with us" (Isaiah 7:14 prophecy fulfilled). 

Isaiah 40:3

A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God (Prophecy).

John 1:23

John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord'

Most of my life, I did not study the Bible but I had this spiritual growth through prayer and faith. But God told me that I needed to study his Word since I trust, have faith and love him. I declared God to be my Husband. But I did not declare Jesus to be my husband, because I had became mad at the Christians who claimed to love all ( of their selective choices).

So I began studying under the Jehovah Witnesses because I promised God that I would. So He sent them since they are one of His foot soldiers who go door to door. He knew that I would not leave my comfort to find a church. How could I?  I studied with them for 3 months but my spirit told me, "you will conflict with them". And it did. So I ended my studies with these beautiful people, but they gave me something that no other church had given me. PEACE.

They do not believe in war, political parties, etc, but loving all people...every thing I believe Christians need to practice. But my spirit was stirring.

A year passed, God was nudging me to find a church because my peace was diminishing (again). On Easter weekend, April 19, 2014,  I took my son and granddaughter to an Easter Egg Hunt at a all nation non-denomination church. The next day, we went to its service.  This was the church for my spirit to grow and build my love for Jesus.

 On March 30th, 2015, I became water baptized and declared Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

My confession, in front of the congregation before my baptism, was "I just want to be one with the Lord".

God wants us to use our logic. He wants us to come to Him with our free will that He gifted us to have.

He wants us to move into his wisdom instead of tales that we do not understand. Study all His Books. You do not need to be a  theologist or a scientist, He just want you to open your mind and heart.

Ask!!!!

Here is a song that helped and inspired me by Tamela Mann, "Take Me to The King"
