Hello Everyone,
May 10, 2019
So, Rachel is back from Los Angeles as you obviously heard from the emails. She has spent this last week recuperating but if you follow the ministry closely, you will have already figured out that she always comes home to twenty jobs waiting for her. Of course she did acclimatize back to Toronto life, and she does thank you all kindly for all the support, financial and spiritual, while she and Jeanne (and Beth) conquered the Sunset Strip for the Lord. We resumed our Friday work day today but couldn't quite finish the task we set out to accomplish because we didn't want to just throw it together without making it presentable and cohesive. The job we set out to do today actually has been brewing the last few days and it is important that we first give you some background. For the last few months, Rachel and gang have been watching a show on Netflix called "Touch". We highly recommend it but for now we will give you a brief summary. It is essentially about a boy named Jake who 'seems' like he is autistic and mute. He has never spoken a word in his ten years of life, much to the frustration of his single father Martin (played by Keiffer Sutherland). The mother passed away in the collapse of one of the towers in the terrorist attack of 9/11. Anyway, the gist of it is that the boy cannot communicate in a traditional sense but is quite a genius with numbers and uses this form to communicate to his father and to the outside world. As the first season progresses we find out that Jake is one of the Tzadikim Nistarim, which is Hebrew for 'hidden righteous ones'. It is from Hasidic mysticism mostly found in the Kaballic tradition, which evolved out of previous historic forms of Jewish mysticism. Moving along...we find out that this boy is one of the 36 'hidden righteous ones' (Tzadikim Nistarim) and throughout the first and second season he encounters others from this special group. It basically teaches that God will always have 36 righteous ones living and serving Him on the Earth. God is not endorsing the teaching of the Kaballah, but he is rather choosing small sections of this show to demonstrate how it is in the real world. The more important point is to stress that God has chosen ones scattered throughout the world and He uses them to save souls. Each of them are unique in their gifts.
Why did God want Rachel and gang to watch this? Well, we can only say for now that reality isn't exactly the same as portrayed by Hollywood (big surprise), but there are quite a few kernels of truth that God uses to teach us and he often uses movies or shows to do this. A few nights ago Rachel, on her own, continued on in this same series called Touch, and once she got to a particular scene where the young boy Jake, was doing something special, God spoke to Rachel saying... 'see how I have the 36 in the world that are my chosen ones? You are well above all of them'. So, this really upset Rachel because as usual she doesn't feel worthy, and it came out of nowhere and she wept. Then God gave her a short message (which will be put on the blog next week). So, she got this message from the Lord and started to write it late that night and it continued the next morning. Then of course, because God is so patient and kind and also because Rachel is stubborn, the next day, Pope John Paul II came in a strong way and gave an additional message. This one we have recorded as a voice memo on my phone. He came dressed with full vestments, mitre (tall hat) and the crosier (shepherd staff) and he came with authority. So, as usual God brought Pope John Paul (a saint or a soul is NEVER ALLOWED to speak unless God brings them) here to reinforce what the Lord was teaching and revealing to Rachel the previous day. We finished typing it and we have it recorded on audio but it needs to be polished. It takes time to translate the 25 minute voice memo because I do not type that fast but mostly because Rachel has such a unique version of English that every sentence needs to be translated and then rewritten to make it palatable for public consumption. And this is further complicated because God and any other celestial being, including the Great Polish Pope, has to speak in a way that Rachel will understand. So, this is why even after working on it for almost 6 hours today, it is still not finished. And if you ever work on the books or around at Rachel's house when she gets a message, we are already there to work on one particular job and then God will give another message which then creates another three hours of work. This is exactly why the Bible says, "There was much else that Jesus did; if it were written down in detail, I do not suppose the world itself could not contain all the books that would be written."
(John, 21:25)
If it's worth anything... we really do recommend the show. Besides it being such a clever and well written series, it is the type of show that after watching it, you actually feel better because it is positive without even a hint of being preachy. There is a risk of misconstruing some of the elements to be new age but we can have a blog post that clarifies exactly which parts of the show are worth focusing on, that is of course, if people actually watch the show.
Thanks again for all the prayers and for being patient during the short blog hiatus.
Oh by the way, here is a great video about a conversion that I have been meaning to post on the blog
(don't worry, it is just a link that will bring you to youtube - it is not a copyright issue and of course God gave the "OK").
