Dear Pepe, I know for a fact that God is with us through this spiritual war/journey. I know that I have only to say His name, whisper a prayer and He is guiding me. Think about Psalm 23. I know I am not in the valley of death per say , but it is the death of the old person, the sinner who is changing to be more Christ like. He is my comfort and joy because His love is never ending!

Recently I was is incredible pain from a bone spur growing up on top of arch on my right foot. I couldn’t rest or sleep. So at 6:00am, I reached for my Bible, sat in my recliner, turned on the lamp and started reading. By focusing on God’s great love for His children and finally just telling Him how exhausted I was and how I wanted to sleep the pain started to ease. I hobbled to the closet bed and just started praising Him and went out like a light. God is so close and hears our every thought. We just have to rely upon Him more!

Feel better dear Fren!

Thank you for sharing that. A beautiful testimony of worshiping God in the midst of pain. God bless you.

I love that you are sharing not only issues we all are facing but your devotion to our Lord. People need to open up about what they are going through and share with others! Great example! My prayers are with you and yours for physical and spiritual protection and healing!

Praise God! I had a similar blessing from the Lord. I had cataract surgery, which most people breeze through (like my husband, just last year), but I had problems with very high pressure in my first eye afterwards, causing headaches and not a little fear, multiple doctor visits, extra prescription drops, etc. I was trying to rest after the second surgery and felt much as you described and just talked to the Lord and thanked Him for the suffering He went through for me on the cross. I felt such overwhelming love and gratitude to Jesus for having mercy upon such a completely undeserving sinner like me. I am fine now, a month and half later. It was worth it to experience His care for me during pain and fear, and also I had many opportunities to speak of Him to the other patients and medical personnel. Bless you!

What would be the one thing that you wish you knew prior to surgery?

Expand full comment

Thank you for sharing. The doctor told me he wouldn’t do surgery. Then I listened to a video from Barbara O’Neal from Australia, a natural healer, nurse practitioner PHD who had advised caster oil packets on lipomas and bone spurs. I will try that method first and if it works all praise to Jesus for natural healing!

Most days I still have intense physical pain from a car accident in 1997. I’m lucky to be alive, I know. At first I questioned why God allowed this accident, but very gradually He spoke calm and peace to me, even in the pain. I studied His Word constantly and now am able to recall scriptures to comfort others. One of my favorites is “The eternal God is refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms”. Deuteronomy 33:27

I love the old hymn, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" - leaning on Jesus!

I miss the old hymns so much! They were full of scripture and comfort.

Thank you for sharing, may your pain be less and less. Many of us are experiencing similar situations. When the adversary strikes a blow, or closes one path, faith and perseverance become our ally and doors are opened.

My beloved Pepe,

I had no idea you were suffering physical pain my fren. Perhaps you once stated that you were, but I was so busy looking for nuggets that I missed it. Please do forgive me. The last four years have taken their toll on my physical well being too. It SUCKS!! Never being one to give into 'pain,' literally...my resolve to "git er dun" has only strengthened, knowing that once I'm planted, I can longer DO. Plus, I'm stubborn as a mule when it comes to giving up. Ain't gonna happen. Wanna be the one skidding in sideways to my own funeral, yelling, "What a ride!!"

Getting back to you, from the viewpoint of here, you are one heck of an 'endurer' and one who IS divinely created to withstand much. *Tips hat. The True Love and Great Hope you offer folks is beyond the pale. MANY receive inspiration from you my fren, and you truly DO give reasons to carry on carrying on.

As for We the People and this malaise thing, true indeed. We've all been waiting patiently for SO LONG for that gigantic b*tch slap upside the noodles of those who ARE knowingly doing harm. The teeny tiny wins that surface raise hope that Justice is coming, only to disappear into the unknown, leaves people wondering what the actual.... BUT, being the resilient souls that we ARE, we still rise to every occasion to take it on and fight again. It has become the natural response. Not Today!! Not Now!! Not Here!!

God IS with us.

Doesn't matter if we believe in Him. He believes in us.

He will NEVER let us fight alone.

In all actuality, this is HIs war and He has already Won.

He is waiting for everyone to decide which side of the fence they are on, cuz there ain't no fence sitters in this one!

He ALSO demands loyalty.

Through Love.

And Faith.

Can't go through the trials of fire without a singe here and a burn there! When one thinks of the molten heat gold has to go through to become gold, kinda puts our suffering and trials into perspective.

ALSO, if Jesus Himself went through the trials and tribulations, pain and suffering, mocking and mob attacks, what in the world makes us think we can reach the other side unscathed?

This "limbo" time, is a good a time as any to get closer to Him who loved us so much that He gave His only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life WITH Him.

And you are indeed correct, knowing where to go isn't the thing that matters. Knowing where you are going to end up is!

Sent with SO MUCH LOVE

And fervent prayer for recovery for you.

Thank you so much. I think, in many ways, the diamonds are being formed through pressure. Anons like you and I have been carrying burdens and feeling that pressure but all will be worth it in the end. It's just something we must believe. A defiant faith in the face of it all. Agreeing with you. ❤️

Thank you and i agree and take comfort in words like yours that mention scripture, and also put in words that Jesus is the-Only Begotten Son of God, Our Only Salvation, is God and Holy Spirit.Unfortunately I think mixed in to true prayer to God there has been(hopefully unintentionally)a lack of certainty to whom some reference to god and spiritual things is going to the wrong power in this world. Evil is so good at deception. Jesus said His name would be hated by this world. I hope all the christians will be Bereans and avoid deceit. I think a lot of the reason God is molding us in this way is so we will learn to rely on Him alone. Americans have been so blessed to have been able to trust (4 the most part) government to stay out of our business, and be (4 most part)filled by decent people.This allowed me to put more faith in our gov.,military, law enforcement, courts, bla, blah....than in God being the true force that caused these institutions to work. We put God in a box so we could take Him out when convenient.Now we see...He is our oxygen-nothing less. Had to be Shown this Way.Bless You in Jesus Christ name.

Many of us are facing health, financial, or emotional issues and certainly understand. I find my peace in the scriptures every day. NOW MAY THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE IN BELIEVING, THAT YOU MAY ABOUND IN HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. ROMANS 15:13 NKJV Bless all who read this. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Your message is from your heart. When we hear in your words the struggles you face each day and see you consistently be the person we are drawn to for strength and light - it is humbling. Pepe you set the bar and set the example for all of us.

Thank you for all you do to take care of us, lift us up and be our strength. I will always admire your compassion despite the pain you endure.

If there was one patient I wish to cure it would be you.

I really wish Mike Lindell would come through on the promise he made to me at our medical conference - that cures are coming.

Continue to stay close to God Pepe - stand in His power when you feel down. We love you! ❤️❤️❤️

I have told you this before Pepe…when I almost lost my job standing against the vaxx you were the bright spot of each day. You gave me strength to fight because I knew others were like-minded and not only did I fight I defended patients, their families and other co-workers. Thank you Pepe.

Some day I hope to meet you.
