At my most FAVORITE street food burrito stand in a small town in Sonora, Mexico, I (Tamra) shared with the owner (in my broken Spanish) about Yahweh and the Scriptures helping me through tough times, about Yahweh miraculously healing me, about Yahweh and His love! I asked if she knew anyone who could read English, someone in need of, and would benefit from, the book that Yahweh had me write about tough times in my life (from bad decisions that I made), but remained faithful TO HIM, and found FREEDOM and PEACE IN YAHWEH! She said, “Yes.” So having written the man’s name in the inside cover of the book, I gave it to the lady to give to him.

ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO YAHWEH!
One year later, at the same burrito stand, I asked the lady if that person had received the book. Replying, “Yes,” she called the man over to speak to us, being only yards away! He was grateful for the book, and SO HAPPY and ecstatic to speak to fellow believers in Yahweh! Bless him Father!
We spoke for a while of Yahweh and HIS GOODNESS! AMEN! We exchanged phone numbers, and he said he would love to get together with us and study the Bible, ask some questions and speak about Yahweh! PRAISE THE LIVING ELOHIM!
We met with him one morning, prayed together, and my husband read Mark 16:15-18, as well as the parable of the Sower and the Seed (Matthew 13:1-9).
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world; herald the evangel to the entire creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, yet he who disbelieves shall be condemned. 17 Now these signs shall fully follow in those who believe: In My name they shall be casting out demons; they will be speaking in new languages; 18 they will be picking up serpents; and if they should be drinking anything deadly, it should under no circumstances be harming them; they will be placing hands on those who are ailing, and ideally will they be having it.”
1 In that day Jesus, coming out of the house, sat beside the sea. 2 And gathered to Him were vast throngs, so that He steps into a ship to be sitting, and the entire throng stood on the beach.
3 And He speaks many things to them in parables, saying, “Lo! out came the sower to be sowing. 4 And, in his sowing, some, indeed, falls beside the road, and the flying creatures came and devoured it. 5 Yet other falls on rocky places, where it had not much earth, and immediately it shoots up, because it has no depth of earth. 6 Yet at the rising of the sun, it is scorched, and, because it has no root, it is withered. 7 Yet other falls on thorns, and the thorns come up and smother it. 8 Yet other falls on ideal earth and gave fruit, some, indeed, a hundred, yet some sixty, yet some thirtyfold. 9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
10 And, approaching, the disciples say to Him, “Wherefore art Thou speaking in parables to them?” 11 Now, answering, He said to them that “To you has it been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, yet to those it has not been given. 12 For anyone who has, to him shall be given, and he shall have a superfluity. Yet anyone who has not, that also which he has shall be taken away from him. 13 Therefore in parables am I speaking to them, seeing that, observing, they are not observing, and hearing, they are not hearing, neither are they understanding. 14 And filled up in them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that is saying,
‘“In hearing, you will be hearing, and may by no means be understanding,
And observing, you will be observing, and may by no means be perceiving.”
15 For stoutened is the heart of this people,
And with their ears heavily they hear,
And with their eyes they squint,
Lest at some time they may be perceiving with their eyes,
And with their ears should be hearing,
And with their heart may be understanding,
And should be turning about,
And I shall be healing them.’
16 “Yet happy are your eyes, for they are observing, and your ears, for they are hearing. 17 For verily I am saying to you that many prophets and just men yearn to perceive what you are observing, and perceive not, and to hear what you are hearing, and hear not.
18 “You, then, hear the parable of the sowing. 19 At everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding, coming is the wicked one and snatching what has been sown in his heart. This is he who is being sown beside the road. 20 Yet he who is being sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word and straightway with joy is getting it, 21 yet has no root in himself, but is temporary. Now at the coming of affliction or persecution because of the word, straightway he is snared. 22 Now he who is being sown in the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the worry of this eon and the seduction of riches are stifling the word, and it is becoming unfruitful. 23 Now he who is being sown on the ideal earth, this is he who is hearing the word and understanding, who by all means is bearing fruit, and is producing; these indeed, a hundred, yet these sixty, yet these thirtyfold.”
We encouraged him to stand strong in the faith, sharing from my (Tamra’s) journey the examples Yahweh brought to mind regarding walking WITH HIM, even walking away from family, following Yeshua’s example, and instruction. Amen! As well as many other accounts of remaining faithful in the world… and how IT IS SO WORTH IT! AMEN!
Admitting our imperfections, and confessing some of our sins, we spoke of how this walk of faith is a DAILY CHOICE, placing Yahweh first, and, if stumbling, to get up and KEEP GOING FORWARD! ALWAYS! Amen!
Then, the man shared how he would like to be focused and faithful! Amen. He also shared when he had first seen the light, his greatest learning, years previously… “I was in prison for 26 years. While in prison, the Christians would stand together in a group. One day I got angry with one of them, stabbing him in the leg. I expected the usual response of retaliation, revenge… even murder. Finally, after much waiting I saw him sitting alone with his Bible. Walking up to him, I laid my knife on the table in front of him and said, ‘Let’s get this done with. I am sick of constantly looking over my shoulder.’ The Christian replied calmly, ‘I forgave you the moment you did it.’ I was ASTONISHED at his response! The Christian was not mad with me. He had FORGIVEN ME! And I saw a glow around him, a sort of light that I cannot describe or explain. After that, to any new prisoner, I told them to leave the Christians alone! I wanted what he had.”
So, this man (speaking with us), he said that he completely changed. He then stood up for these Christians, and defended (or protected) them in prison! He said that that day with the Christian was truly the moment he had seen the light!
He then said, “I see that light in you too. I want what you have.”
What a blessing to see a heart truly turn to Yahweh and give their lives to HIM! GLORIOUS! AMEN!
PRAISE YAHWEH FOR HIS LOVE, HIS FREEDOM and HIS GRACE! AMEN!
1 Bless Yahweh, my soul!
O Yahweh, my Elohim, You are exceedingly great.
With splendor and honor are You clothed;
2 You are muffled with light as raiment.
Stretching out the heavens like a sheet…
We met with the man a few times to pray and read the Bible together! He had also been reading and highlighting sections of the book, KEEPING THE FAITH through the UN-thinkable… When he was near the middle of the book, one day we were all sharing and relating the learnings of obedience to Yahweh in our daily lives! Amen!
He shared with us about his family, his mother, his sisters and that one of them was on drugs… and then he told us about his step-dad and growing up. When he was young, (age 5 and older) his step-dad would LOCK HIM in a shed outside the house in Arizona. There were holes in the shed and rattlesnakes could and would go into the shed. He was SO SCARED! PETRIFIED! He would wrap up into a ball on the floor with a sheet around him, (leaving a hole only big enough to breath), trying to protect himself from the rattlesnakes. Also, he shared how his step-dad would beat him with a chord from a lamp. He would get welts on his legs. He HATED HIS STEP-DAD. HATED HIM.
He told us that he had NOT forgiven his step-dad.
As hard as his childhood was, Yahweh showed me to give no worldly pity and to point my finger straight at him and boldly say, “Find one thing you are grateful for!” So, I obeyed Yahweh. Praise Yahweh for HIS strength and HIS ways!
Then, I asked the man if he had read chapter one of the book yet, he nodded yes. I told him that our Father in heaven told me a few years ago now, that few will be able to say that they have lived through worse in life than me. (Which includes, being raped at knife-point at age 17.) THE POINT being, that I can ENCOURAGE others to forgive as Yahweh taught me (Matthew 6:14-15), and to bless our enemies (Luke 6:27-28), and to BECOME GRATEFUL IN ALL THINGS (Colossians 3:15).
14 “For if you should be forgiving men their offenses, your heavenly Father also will be forgiving you. 15 Yet if you should not be forgiving men their offenses, neither will your Father be forgiving your offenses.”
27 “But to you, who are hearing, am I saying: Love your enemies. Be doing ideally to those who are hating you. 28 Bless those who are cursing you. Pray concerning those who are traducing you.”
15 And let the peace of Christ be arbitrating in your hearts, for which you were called also in one body; and become thankful.
I said that, while I am a human alive today, to not look to me and what I have done, instead to look to YESHUA and how HE FORGAVE those responsible, IN THE MIDST of UN-thinkable pain and agony… ON THE CROSS! BEING KILLED! KILLED IN THE MOST HORRIFIC AND PAINFUL WAY! “BE LIKE YESHUA!” I said.
34 Now Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they are not aware what they are doing.”
“So… you choose,” I continued, “you can take 3 days being angry at me, (like I was with my past mentor as I also share in chapter one), or you can be free of this burden QUICKER,
a burden which is not yours to bear!”
And my husband boldly shared the truth, he said, “You can forgive in a second! Do not do it for your step-dad, do it for yourself! IF you desire to be forgiven of YOUR sins by Yahweh, then YOU must forgive all others!”
My husband read:
14 “For if you should be forgiving men their offenses, your heavenly Father also will be forgiving you. 15 Yet if you should not be forgiving men their offenses, neither will your Father be forgiving your offenses.”
Father showed me to pray for the man, right THEN and THERE, to give him ALL the help (THE GREATEST HELP) he can get… THE FATHER’S HELP!
So, as the man remained seated, we stood up, and I placed my hand on his head and spoke LIFE and LOVE and STRENGTH and HEALING into the little boy inside of him. I saw a vision of a bucket up in heaven POURING LOVE and LIFE of the Father INTO THE MAN!
PRAISE YAHWEH!
We looked up into the sky and HUGE WISPY CLOUDS were in the sky. ANGELS!
PRAISE YAHWEH!
1 I am entreating, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, pleadings, thanksgiving be made for all mankind…
16 Then confess sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The operative petition of the just is availing much.
And, RIGHT THEN AND THERE the man forgave his step-dad. It was the FIRST TIME he had ever done it, the first time he EVEN THOUGHT to do it! He said out loud, “I will do it right now. I forgive him.”
He shared how his sisters had ENCOURAGED HIM to forgive his step-dad. HE HAD SAID NO. He shared how his step-dad asked the man to forgive him. HE HAD SAID NO. He shared how he had met with other Christian groups before, but they NEVER brought up the subject of forgiveness.
PRAISE YAHWEH the man FORGAVE his step-dad! THAT DAY! THAT MOMENT!
After he spoke the words out loud, he placed his hand on his heart and said, “I feel FREE! I feel LIGHTER!”
AMEN!
PRAISE THE LIVING and LOVING ELOHIM!
AMEN!
THANK YOU FATHER that we got to be a part of and see YOUR CHILD’S FREEDOM! HEALING! SO GLORIOUS!
COMPLETE FREEDOM!
COMPLETE PEACE! TRUE PEACE!
YAHWEH’S GLORIOUS PEACE! AMEN!
26 Yeshua said to them, “With men this is impossible, yet with God all is possible.”
21 For the One not knowing sin, He makes to be a sin offering for our sakes that we may be becoming God’s righteousness in Him.
23 “But coming is the hour, and now is, when the true worshipers will be worshiping the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also is seeking such to be worshiping Him. 24 God is spirit, and those who are worshiping Him must be worshiping in spirit and truth.”
24 And we may be considering one another to incite to love and ideal acts…
