Christmas Greeting 2019
Hello Everyone,
December 20, 2019
As you know Rachel will be away from this Saturday for three weeks in the Baltimore area and is as usual, counting on your prayers and sacrifices for the success of God's work.
Here is the video that we were working on last week.
Have a blessed Christmas and a peace filled New Year.
P.S.: there will not be as many blog related updates while she is away for obvious reasons, but any update coming from the States will be emailed and then put on the blog in the 'Latest Mission Trip' section.

Hello Everyone,
December 13, 2019
This week was a little slower however there was just one cleaning trip that happened on Wednesday. Rachel, Marion and Sheila had to go out and they didn’t know it was happening until about 5pm. God said to Rachel “you have to go somewhere for me”. Of course we have free will but Rachel never refuses anything that the Lord asks of her. They headed west for a short while and ended up at a Swiss Chalet in Scarborough at Lawrence and Kingston Rd. The Lord obviously wanted to clean that place and the area. There was a huge beast, which Rachel said it was a “leviathan” (a sea serpent monster that was first referred to in the Old Testament). They stayed there for about an hour and a half and besides this big serpent there were a lot of smaller ones that were attracted by the bigger one.
After this they headed towards downtown Toronto and had to drive around for a while. By around 10pm they dropped Marion off and then had to head back not with the highway but with York Mills, which actually made a chain. Rachel and Sheila got back around 11pm and that was it. Rachel was really sick all night because of that beast and for most of the next day.
We finally made some progress trying to record some of the video and hopefully we will post it closer to Christmas.
Rachel just reminded me to write about her cousin Carlos. As you may have seen in the prayer requests recently, Rachel’s cousin Carlos passed away about two weeks ago. Not even ten minutes after Rachel’s sister notified her that Carlos had passed, his soul showed up in her apartment and said, “I died, but now I’m here” (God brought him here). We knew he wasn’t well because he had stage-four cancer. Rachel wanted to include this because while they were at Swiss Chalet, Carlos asked very meekly, ‘Rachelina, would you do me a favor? He asked her to pick up the dessert menu and he will show her what he wants. He chose those small donuts with cinnamon and powdered sugar.
Marion's daughter Samantha also came (in the spirit) who ate with them and she wanted the chocolate cake.
As we were reviewing this blog post we forgot that Monday Rachel spent almost all afternoon and evening at the house of someone from the ministry. This was hard on Rachel because it is hard for her to leave the house and to be out for so long. Then of course we had to drive to disperse all the evil spirits and negativity that God collects every time He is working. Rachel got home around 12:30 AM.
We asked the Lord if its ready to go 'to the presses’ and He said, “send it as it is”.
Thanks again and God bless.

Hello Everyone,
December 6, 2019
Before we get into this week’s update, just to let you know that the document regarding 'John, a repentant soul', that they dealt with last Tuesday was put in the “Teachings” section.
The other day, Rachel was on the phone with someone in the ministry who was seeing demons lately and more frequently. Besides seeing them, this person was also hearing what these demons were saying. One of these demons had an axe in their hand and said ‘I’m going to kill you’. Rachel said not to ‘take’ anything that they said. Rachel uses this phrase ‘don’t take anything’ to mean don’t receive anything that is negative because then you internalize it and it will have power over you. Rachel knows of a young man, who a few years ago, was told by his girlfriend that he was getting a little ‘pudgy’ and he ‘took it' and it grew in him. He eventually became anorexic and almost died because he became like a skeleton.
Rachel told this person to rebuke it and to say the Three Prayers. These are Rachel’s exact words: “the reason why I am putting this on the blog is because a lot of people are phoning me and are seeing things and their life is getting out of control. I always tell them to do these three prayers that the Lord gave to us in this ministry, and if you are not seeing results yet, get some more people (members of the family or friends) to pray these same three prayers with you." Also Rachel is saying that 'if you cannot do these prayers then just talk to God and beg Him for help and say “Jesus I give you permission to set me and my house free.'
There is another person who called Rachel and this person can actually see these things and sometimes they hear as well. We are purposefully putting ‘they’ because we don’t want to write ‘he or she’ to give these people some privacy. Anyway, this person called Rachel and she prayed over the phone. She could then see Jesus with His archangels getting rid of these demonic presences and then at the end Jesus was on His knees scraping the floors of all the demonic debris (which could be slime, insects, excrement, cement powder, tar etc.). Rachel usually refers to these things as ‘negative forces’ which is different than demonic spirits or beasts. Rachel added this while we were writing this post; “imagine that, Jesus is on his knees, scraping all this junk off your floor so that you will not be contaminated by these horrible things; the King of kings and Lord of lords, how much He loves each and every one of us and how hard He works for us constantly”.
Rachel wants to use this moment for a teaching as well. To expand a little about the difference of these things that Rachel speaks of often, it can be demonstrated like this. There is like a hierarchy even in the spiritual. So, the highest of these evil beings would be of course Satan, Lucifer, the Devil and then the next highest would be a fallen angel. After this you are dealing with evil spirits/demonic spirits (an example could be a familiar spirit); then, the next down the chain would be beasts; finally the lowest on the ‘totem pole’ is negativity (an example of negativity would be; ‘pools of negativity: which could be a pool of blood or excrement or tar’. Sometimes people walk into a spiritual pool of negativity and they notice that they are all of a sudden nauseous or angry or they can’t keep their eyes open. Okay, I know this is literally from another world and we are, all of us, learning as we go. This is why a lot of things are repeated and explained differently with examples etc. Sometimes Rachel, obviously under the guidance of God the Father, is dealing directly with Lucifer or Satan etc. Then next she sometimes deals with fallen angels and these are also rare but very powerful. Then she comes across people who may have a familiar spirit on them or ‘using’ them and this will present itself as the person looking like they are gifted as well. Many or ALL of the mediums/fortune tellers that you see on TV or visit, if they are at all convincing, it is because they are being fed the information through a familiar spirit A familiar spirit is a demonic presence that is an un-welcomed guest in a family that spans many generations and that is why they know everything about that particular family.
To explain the difference between a demonic spirit, beast and even negativity we can use this example: let’s use the previous example where the guy was told by his girlfriend that he looked ‘pudgy’. The demonic spirit could have influenced the woman to plant that seed in the guy. Because he ‘took’ it, this lie became like a seed. The seed could be anything from; ‘being put down’, he felt like a failure. God is giving us the answer to this as we write it. He then after feeling ‘put down’ and being a failure, it grew into anger and jealousy and rejection. Because he kept dwelling on it and believing it, it grew and it can become a beast. This can be so devastating because whatever rejection he feels he can spread it onto other people. Just like textbook Psychology 101 when a guy gets yelled at by the boss then he comes home and yells at the kids then the kid kicks the dog.
This beast that grew up also attracts much negativity.
This is by no means an exhaustive explanation. These things will come up and we will try to put whatever the Lord teaches us as we get it.
Thanks and have a blessed week.

Hello Everyone,
December 1, 2019
So this is the blog update that we were trying to do on Friday night.
The three main things that we are going to update from the past week are the following:
1. Last Saturday we left in the early afternoon and headed to Niagara Falls Ontario, to meet up with Jeanne who was coming from Washington DC to meet us. Instead of posting it as a separate document we're going to place this first one here in the Home section. The purpose of the visit was to pass along some of the heavier materials that Rachel will be needing when she will be there for the three week mission trip in Baltimore over the Christmas Holidays. It was also a nice opportunity to catch up since we only see each other maybe once a year.
Once we arrived there in Jeanne’s hotel room Rachel started to feel a heaviness and a sadness. In the spiritual, Rachel saw two men fighting there in the corner of the entrance of the room. One is a light skinned mulatto and the other man is Nigerian. The Nigerian is on the left by the bed and the mulatto is near the suitcase. The Nigerian went out of the hotel came back in and found the mulatto stealing from him. The Nigerian had thousands of dollars of drug money with him. He had cheated the mulatto out of his share from the sale of the drugs. The mulatto stabbed the Nigerian to death. He took the money and ran. The Mulatto was wearing gloves and covered his tracks so he never got caught. This happened 25 years ago. In 1994. Judging from the décor of the room I would say that this hotel was around since then.
The owner of the hotel dealt directly with the police and nobody knew about the dead body that was found in this room. Which is room 1008.
We were wondering aloud if there was any chance that this soul could be saved…and God said, “those are people that never repented...they are NOT MY PEOPLE”.
Then God said that this soul has to be removed. The archangels are tying up the soul and fighting with the beasts that were attacking this soul.
Just a side note: whenever Rachel is dealing with a soul that God brings her, it is never JUST the soul. For example, in this case, the man who was killed (and the murderer himself) was into a lot of bad things even before he was murdered. So you can imagine he had with him every bad spirit under the sun, from lust, anger, drug addiction, thievery, malice, delinquency, murder, and all kinds of other demonic spirits. And all those demonic spirits bring with them lesser entities like negativity (you've heard Rachel refer to this negativity as sometimes being 'pools of blood, excrement or tar' etc.' I'm sure you also hear her say that when the job is done, it is Jesus himself who gets on His hands and knees and scrapes away all the garbage left behind by these entities.
God was responding to us talking about why people like this do not have a chance, because of their own free will: God said: “When they love the life that they were living, they will not change. They will not ask for mercy. They are unrepentant”.
Then Rachel said: “They are going directly to the tube of steel where it goes straight to the first universe (way below hell).
The mulatto was around 60 years old and the Nigerian was close to 60. The mulatto (who committed the original murder in Jeanne's hotel room) was shot at some other time later on.
Then after the room situation we had to go driving to Fort Erie along the water. We did a bunch of loops and chains and then God said that we could also eat in a particular area because he had to continue to work near the Peace Bridge. We had to stay there over two hours and towards the end Rachel said that Satan was saying to her: “you think you won everything?". When I was reading this for approval to Rachel she reminded me that 3 hours earlier, on the way to Fort Erie, Satan was also saying: "we don't want you here. You get out of here. I bought this land. You are winning back a lot of my territory. We cannot touch you because there will be consequences for us because you are the Bride of Jesus Christ".
Then when we were having some dessert Rachel said that God brought her back to the hotel room (in the sprit) and she could see that the Nigerian is tied up from the chest down to the feet. It needed to happen this way because the beast that was attacking hm is so big It requires hours of prayer. This beast had horns.
God said not to worry because we will lead it with us and God will disperse it.
By the time we get back to the hotel room God will lead this beast to the lobby and then we will take it out on our way home and disperse it on our two hour ride back to Toronto.
It was a long day. We left the house around 2:30 and didn’t get back to Rachel’s place until around 4am. Thanks again for the prayers.
2. The second part of the update pertains to the events of last Tuesday when Rachel had her usual Tuesday prayer day. I warn you ahead of time that I'm going to procrastinate yet again. Because it's almost 11 o'clock on Sunday night I'm just going to give the gist of what happened and hopefully the full story will be typed and put most likely in the “Teachings” section of the blog. Right now I can’t see straight and Sheila is not here to tell me what happened and to help me read her writing.
So, basically there was this man named John, who a number of years ago had killed someone. Rachel could see that the man (the soul) still had a knife in his hand and everyone here was praying and telling him out loud to repent because you have a chance for salvation. So unlike the men who were drug dealers from the hotel room in Niagara Falls [written above], there was a difference with this man John because he could be saved if he just asked for forgiveness and repented. I would imagine that when this is written out there will be a better explanation of why it is different in this case. We've said this a number of times but it is worth repeating, that there are three things that can either lead us to salvation or lead us to damnation. The first thing that we have no control over is our ancestry, our lineup. But God is so good because two out of the three are up to us. The second involves our heart and how open it is or how hardened it is etc. this is up to us ("Harden not your hearts": Hebrews 3:8). The third factor of whether or not we are saved is relative to how many sins we commit in our life. Again, these last two things we can have some control over as opposed to what our ancestors have done; to which we have zero influence. Okay I'm not going to give a spoiler alert regarding whether this soul John made it, so hopefully this will be typed up and placed somewhere in the blog. We'll let you know.
3. The third main thing that happened this last week is what we already wrote about regarding the anniversary party that the Lord wanted us to have. We had pizza and wings and let me tell you, Jesus loves toppings! I was bargaining with Him, seeing if we could just get two mediums and place half the toppings on one and the other half on the other pizza. He said that when he bites into it he wanted to taste all of the toppings (Rachel wanted me to add that Jesus works day and night constantly and we can let him have at least the pizza the way He wants). Just a few details that I'm sure you might find interesting. I gave him the choice between pizza nova and pizza pizza and he chose pizza pizza. Also, regarding the toppings, this is what he liked: Black olives, red onions, mushrooms, green peppers, red peppers, Italian sausage, and pepperoni. Then we ordered a 'wing-it' box with jalapeno poppers, potato wedges, chicken wings, and chicken nuggets. And like I wrote before we had the 12 roses as well. My gift to Him, I guess, was to clean up the office. I'm actually sitting in it right now writing this so thank God that He led me to do this or else I would have Indiana Jones blasting in my ear as I'm trying to write this.
So many things happen on a day-to-day basis and I would say that probably 80% of it doesn't reach the blog and most of the incredible things that the Lord is doing is not documented. We do what we can and in the end He just wants us to be faithful and to do the work with love.
For example, on the way here in the snowstorm, I was inspired to check some of the stores for a humidifier for Rachel's apartment. You can literally see lightning bolts reaching from the light switch to your finger. That's how much static electricity there is here. While I was out I called Rachel and asked if the young boy (Kevin) whose birthday we are celebrating today would like something special from the grocery store. He wanted the Portuguese custard tarts. This is not just a random fact, bear with me...
When I got to Rachel's house I asked her to ask Kevin about 'why these tarts' (because I don't hear or see the souls of the children that I adopt and frankly because THEY ALWAYS WANT ICE CREAM) He said that he likes these tarts but they were also to share with someone, if he was allowed to. Then this all lead to finding out that Kevin, this four-year-old soul, had made a friend (another soul of a child) during one of his many trips to downtown Toronto with his guardian angel. He has been going down to visit with his new friend the last two years or so. It was then that he met Manny. Manny is about the same age as Kevin and they became fast friends. So, long story short, Manny is now sitting in front of the TV with the birthday boy Kevin, (near Rachel), watching Indiana Jones and waiting for dad to finish typing the blog so he can eat his Portuguese custard tart! I recorded this incident when we first met this boy on my phone and if I am allowed, I will put the MP3 sound file in the “Important Media/Written Messages” section that we just recently merged. I warn you that it is quite disturbing and not unlike many of the stories of the other children that make their way to the Gate to Heaven Ministry.
(I am writing this after God ok'd the final cut. The MP3 of Manny IS in the "Important Media/Written Messages”, as number 10, but it is recorded at very low volume so if you intend on listening it might be better with earphones etc. AND the tarts were yummy!)
Thanks for hanging in there and we leave you with some pics.
Finally it's past midnight and God said "let it go as it is".
thanks
S
and just in case you are visiting from another planet....
this is a Portuguese tart.

We had pizza and wings and let me tell you, Jesus loves toppings! I was bargaining with Him, seeing if we could just get two mediums and place half the toppings on one and the other half on the other pizza. He said that when he bites into it he wanted to taste all of the toppings (Rachel wanted me to add that Jesus works day and night constantly and we can let him have at least the pizza the way He wants). Just a few details that I'm sure you might find interesting. I gave him the choice between pizza nova and pizza pizza and he chose pizza pizza. Also, regarding the toppings, this is what he liked: Black olives, red onions, mushrooms, green peppers, red peppers, Italian sausage, and pepperoni. Then we ordered a 'wing-it' box with jalapeno poppers, potato wedges, chicken wings, and chicken nuggets. And like I wrote before we had the 12 roses as well. My gift to Him, I guess, was to clean up the office. I'm actually sitting in it right now writing this so thank God that He led me to do this or else I would have Indiana Jones blasting in my ear as I'm trying to write this.
So many things happen on a day-to-day basis and I would say that probably 80% of it doesn't reach the blog and most of the incredible things that the Lord is doing is not documented. We do what we can and in the end He just wants us to be faithful and to do the work with love.
For example, on the way here in the snowstorm, I was inspired to check some of the stores for a humidifier for Rachel's apartment. You can literally see lightning bolts reaching from the light switch to your finger. That's how much static electricity there is here. While I was out I called Rachel and asked if the young boy (Kevin) whose birthday we are celebrating today would like something special from the grocery store. He wanted the Portuguese custard tarts. This is not just a random fact, bear with me...
When I got to Rachel's house I asked her to ask Kevin about 'why these tarts' (because I don't hear or see the souls of the children that I adopt and frankly because THEY ALWAYS WANT ICE CREAM) He said that he likes these tarts but they were also to share with someone, if he was allowed to. Then this all lead to finding out that Kevin, this four-year-old soul, had made a friend (another soul of a child) during one of his many trips to downtown Toronto with his guardian angel. He has been going down to visit with his new friend the last two years or so. It was then that he met Manny. Manny is about the same age as Kevin and they became fast friends. So, long story short, Manny is now sitting in front of the TV with the birthday boy Kevin, (near Rachel), watching Indiana Jones and waiting for dad to finish typing the blog so he can eat his Portuguese custard tart! I recorded this incident when we first met this boy on my phone and if I am allowed, I will put the MP3 sound file in the “Important Media/Written Messages” section that we just recently merged. I warn you that it is quite disturbing and not unlike many of the stories of the other children that make their way to the Gate to Heaven Ministry.
(I am writing this after God ok'd the final cut. The MP3 of Manny IS in the "Important Media/Written Messages”, as number 10, but it is recorded at very low volume so if you intend on listening it might be better with earphones etc. AND the tarts were yummy!)
Thanks for hanging in there and we leave you with some pics.
first a short vid...
Finally it's past midnight and God said "let it go as it is".
thanks
