Why fast ?
Why fast?
Champions Use the Weapon of Fasting. My children and all my future Generations should be taught how to fast. Also please note that Daniel’s fast included: fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains nuts and seeds. And Queen Esther only ate, fruits, beans, grains, poppy and caraway pastries and yet she was fit and beautiful.
Fasting is for YHVH’s (YAHUAH’s) people. Until the Jews rejected Yahusha YAHUAH’s people were the Jews. When the Jews rejected Yahusha, He opened Paradise (Third Heaven) to everyone who would believe and accept Yahusha as their Savior, repent their sins and be baptized by immersion by another Believer in Yahusha in the name of the FATHER, YAHUAH, the Son, Yahusha and the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh for the everlasting glory of Supreme King YAHUAH. Please see Message of Salvation.
1. Fasting is a Force in the Spirit World. When the Disciples could not cast out the dumb and deaf spirit of the young son, they asked Yahusha, “Why could not we cast him out? And He said unto them, this kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. (Mark 9:28-29). Supreme Prince Yahusha told them that because at that time they were not yet sealed by the Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh because Supreme Prince Yahusha did not yet ascended to the Third Heaven aka Paradise. It was only after Supreme Prince Yahusha ascended to Paradise that He sent the Holy Spirit to His Disciples when they were gathered in the Upper Room.
2. Unusual warfare requires unusual weapons.
3. Yahusha embraced Prayer and Fasting As Effective Weapons. Demon powers always succumb to these weapons. Then Yahusha led by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. (Matthew 4:1-2).
4. You should fast Between Major Events of Your Life. Yahusha did. When He was baptized by John He saw the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: And lo a voice from Heaven, saying this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 16-17). Then Yahusha fasted. His next major event was the selection of His disciples. “And Yahusha walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andres his brother, casting a net into the sea for they were fishers. And He saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him. And going on from there, He saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee, their father, mending their nets; and He called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed Him.. (Matthew 4-18-22)
5. You should fast to influence the judgment of YAHUAH AWAY FROM YOUR CHILDREN. David did. “David therefore besought YAHUAH for the child; and David fasted and went in and lay all night upon the earth; but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them (2Samuel 12:16-17)
6. You should fast habitually. Anna did. Anna an 84 year old widow and prophetess never left the temple, but fasted continuously. (Luke 2:37)
7. Your fasting follows the Examples of the Great Champions like Paul 2 Corinthians 6:4-5
8. You should fast often 2 Cor 11:27
9. You should fast for the healing of your children 2 Samuel 12:16-17
10. You should fast to create a favor in a political crisis. Esther did. Esther 4: 15-16
11. To create acceptance and influence, Esther 4:15-16
12. You should fast during unusual attack and isolation (Ps 69:10
13. Your fasting will produce humility (Ps 35:13)
14. You fast to influence three areas of your life -direction, family and finances (Ezra 8:21
15. Fast ONLY if you are honorable, respectable and without blemish in the eyes of the ELOHIM YAHUAH Jeremiah 14:11-12
16. You should fast to avert the Judgments of YAHUAH upon your life Joel 2:15, 19
17. Your fasting affects your supernatural provision Joel 2:15, 19
18. Your fasting is wrong if you do it publicly MATT 6:5, 16
19. Your fasting should be private. Matt 6:17-18
20. Supreme King YAHUAH guarantees public reward with your private fasting. Matt 6:17-18
21. Your fasting moves Supreme King YAHUAH to destroy your enemies. Joel 2:15, 19-20
22. Fasting births a season of restoration Joel 2:15,23-26
Supreme King YAHUAH entrusted me and Jennifer with HIS infinite wealth and riches to change the World for HIS glory, for World Peace and Prosperity for all. (Joel 2:15,23-26)
23. Fasting can cause an out pouring of the Holy Spirit toward your life.(Joel 2:15, 28,-29).
24. Supreme King YAHUAH commanded us to fast. (Joel 2:12-13).
Fasting is for YHVH’s (YAHUAH’s) people. Until the Jews rejected Yahusha YAHUAH’s people were the Jews. When the Jews rejected Yahusha, He opened Paradise to everyone who would believe and accept Yahusha as their Savior, repent their sins and be baptized by immersion by another Believer in Yahusha in the name of the FATHER, YAHUAH, the Son, Yahusha and the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh for the glory of YAHUAH.
Fasting is not just food as you can see in these passages of the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 58.
Verse 1-5 is saying the people were fasting for the wrong reasons.
YHVH IS PRONOUNCED YAHUAH.
58 “Cry aloud, do not spare. Lift up your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to My people their transgression, and the house of Ya‛aqoḇ their sins.
2 “Yet they seek Me day by day and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the right-ruling of their ELOHIM. They ask of Me rulings of righteousness, they delight in drawing near to ELOHIM.
3 They say, ‘Why have we fasted and You have not seen? Why have we afflicted our beings and You took no note?’ “Look, in the day of your fasting you find pleasure and drive on all your laborers.
4 “Look, you fast for strife and contention and to strike with the fist of wrongness. you do not fast as you do this day, to make your voice heard on high.
5 “Is it a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his being? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast and an acceptable day to YHVH?
Verse 6-7 is the fast that Supreme King YAHUAH is looking for.
6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loosen the tight cords of wrongness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to exempt the oppressed and to break off every yoke?
7 “Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked and cover him and not hide yourself from your own flesh?
The results of fasting is verse 8-12 and 14.
8 “Then your light would break forth like the morning, your healing spring forth speedily. And your righteousness shall go before you, the esteem of YHVH would be your rear guard.
9 “Then, when you call, YHVH would answer; when you cry, He would say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and the speaking of unrighteousness,
10 if you extend your being to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted being, then your light shall dawn in the darkness and your darkness be as noon.
11 “Then YHVH would guide you continually and satisfy your being in drought and strengthen your bones. You shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
12 “And those from among you shall build the old waste places. You shall raise up the foundations of many generations. And you would be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
During Sabbath, you should not do your own pleasure whatever it may be.
13 “If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My set-apart day and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the set-apart day of YHVH ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
14 then you shall delight yourself in YHVH. And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth and feed you with the inheritance of Ya‛aqoḇ your father. For the mouth of YHVH has spoken !”

MIRACLES IN EGYPT
MIRACLES BY YAHUSHA
MIRACLES IN OUR FAMILY
Article 8
Section 1. MIRACLES DONE IN THE LIFE OF THE ROYAL SERVANT OF SUPREME KING YAHUAH AND HIS FAMILY.
As you read these Miracles in my life, you could say that my life is one miracle to another miracle. In fact my whole life is a miracle. And I give Praise, Glory and Honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH by the power of HIS Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in HIS Son’s name our Savior’s name Supreme Prince Yahusha.
I will try to arrange them by year.
1940 – PRESENT - It is an honor to be a son of Marcela Mata Gulapa Dacanay, my Mom.
Not having much formal education, I believe she had a second grade education; she did very well with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings, guidance and direction.
She became a merchant. She started selling chicken and produce in Angeles City after War II.
She bought and sold anything from rice, fish, corn and other commodities.
She became a small banker for the farmers. The farmers would borrow money from her and promised to pay her in rice (palay) to be delivered to her warehouse at the Rice Mill. This was with no written contracts. Just a piece of paper showing how much the farmer received in money and how many bags of rice he would pay back to be delivered to the Rice Mill. The farmers preferred to deal with her rather than the banks because the farmers did not speak English and did not know how to read those lengthy contracts and they did not have to put up collateral. It was an honor system and as far as I know all the farmers paid. She did not have any bad debts and she did not have a strong arm collector. Hahaha
She would buy by auction forty foot bancas full of fish in the early dawn and by 2 PM all would be sold to other merchants and she made her money without even having to log fish out of there.
She would buy whole grove of mangoes when the mangoes were just flowers. She would pay the owners ahead and the risk she was taking was if there was any typhoon, the flowers would be gone and there would be no mangoes to harvest. But with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings, she always made money. The typhoon never hit her mango groves.
She would buy large fish ponds having thousands of small fishes about an inch in length. She would pay in advance. The risk here was if there was a flood all the little fishes would swim away and no fish to harvest. But that never happened with our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings. She always had fish to harvest. Wow what a great blessings from our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
During WW II my Mom defended my Dad who was sentenced to die by firing squad in the Supreme Court and Won! Please see the Miracles for details.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Dad was a farmer. He had to give that up because of the Huks. In Arayat, he worked as a Carpenter in Manila. He stayed in Manila biweekly. He left Sunday afternoon for Manila and would not come home until after two weeks. My Mom did not like that arrangement so they bought a horse and large buggy to haul people and merchandise around town and to neighboring little barrios.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Mom sold chicken and produce in Angeles City. When we moved to the town of Arayat, my Mom bought and sold rice, corn and fish. She also became a small Banker. The farmers would borrow money from her with a promissory note they would pay after harvest season. There was no formal written document, It was a hand shake and a little piece of paper showing how much was borrowed and how many cavans of rice would be delivered to the rice mill where my Mom kept her rice. She did not transport any rice. The farmer would deliver the rice to the Rice mill and they will get receipt and they would give that to my Mom. What a smart woman.
When we moved to San Fernando, she continued that banking business and she branched out to mangoes. She would buy the whole plantation of mangoes when the mangoes were just flowers. The risk was that if there was a storm, the flowers would be wipe out and there would be no mangoes to harvest. But she was blessed by our FATHER. She never experienced of not having mangoes.
She would pay in advance when the mangoes were just lowers and the owner of the Plantation grove would deliver the mangoes to my Mom’s warehouse.
She also branched out into fish ponds. She would buy the fish when they were about an inch long and the risk was if there was a flood the little fishes would be gone. But again our FATHER protected her investments and she always made money.
Our FATHER is awesome. He always takes care of HIS own. HE loves HIS own and protects their investments.
Thank YOU, FATHER for YOUR loving kindness.
My Mom was a good business woman but she is also kind- hearted. She had an open hand for those who need help.
One time one of my cousins went to Mang Doman, the Head Deacon of the INC in San Fernando. He also operated a fairly large store in the market. My cousin was asking to buy on credit one half of gallon of rice to be paid by the weekend because that would be his pay day. Mang Doman told my cousin he did not sell on credit.
My cousin went to my Mom who was in the same Market and told her what happened. My Mom went to Mang Doman with my cousin. My Mom in soft voice asked Mang Doman if he would want to buy rice and it was deposited at the Rice Mill where my Mom deposits her rice. My Mom said I have several hundreds of cavans of rice there and showed him the receipts. I would give it to you at a lower price than the prevailing market price.
Mang Doman was embarrassed because he could not afford to buy the rice. And here is the Head Deacon of INC and would not even help his brethren with two quarts of rice.
My mom bought what my cousin needed and all was well.
All their children graduated college except the oldest because she did not like school. She did take Dress Making and she graduated with flying colors. After she graduated she started making our clothes, shirts and dresses for the girls.
For a person without any formal education to speak of, my Mom did exceptionally well with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s leadership, guidance and direction. Wow what a TEAM.
5-4-1964 – 5- 25-2011 It was a great blessing to marry Rosalinda (Rose) Gamboa because:
She saw things I did not see and helped me and the family. For example she saw the political and civic situation in the Deep South when we moved from Ohio to Georgia and she positioned me and my family to not only to survive but to prevail in the Deep South with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s leadership, guidance and direction.
Our children excelled in school.
Our oldest girl was Editor of their school paper at McEachern High School.,
Our oldest son was President of the Student Council at McEachern High School.
Our Second and Third sons were Vice Presidents of the Student Councils respectively.
Our oldest son was Commander of the local ROTC.
Our three sons became Eagle Scouts and they were all nominated and accepted at the US Naval Academy. They graduated at USNA in 1988, 89 and 90.
I became Member of the Advisory Board of Mc Eachern High School and Tapp Middle School.
I was distinguished President of Kiwanis,
I was a Member of the Advisory Board of the Salvation Army ARC in Atlanta, Georgia.
I was a member of the Atlanta Clean City Commission.
I was an Eagle Board Reviewer in Cobb County.
I was Public Relations Chairman of 27 Kiwanis Clubs in the Metro Atlanta Area from the poorest club to the wealthiest club whose members were multi billionaires... Only by the grace and blessings of our FATHHER can this happen to a poor barefoot newspaper boy. You cannot pay enough money to wine and dine with these people and I did without paying a dime because they paid my tab.
Rose and I were co-founders of the C.O.P.S. for Youth, an organization to help parents and children avoid the pitfalls of drugs. This was done in coordination with the Sheriff, the Police, the Churches in the area and the schools. In conjunction with this we built the first BMX Bicycle Track in Georgia. We invited BMX racers from Tennessee and neighboring states and they came and in return we went to their races. We helped everyone who wanted to race. Some African American kids who wanted to race but did not have bikes, we gave them bikes to race.
My family and I received the only Certificate ever given by CNN as the Super Citizen Award for our involvement, leadership in the Metro Atlanta Area, a Great Metropolis. Thank YOU FATHER., thank you CNN.
Rose, having grown up with not only silver spoon but with gold spoon in her mouth, she was adaptable to every situation. She was at home in whatever situation we may be in. She never complained. Wow what a woman. In the Philippines, she had a Nanny for each of our child and when we came to the US she had to take care of all of our children by herself with no complaint.
Not knowing how to drive and not having a car to drive, she did very well. When we were in Hudson, Ohio, she bought and sold things through the radio like riding lawn mowers, lumber, etc. One time my car pool dropped me off and there was a pony tied to one of our trees. My friends asked me was that pony yours? I do not know I said. May be my wife bought it. Sure enough she bought it from a farmer and he delivered it to her. The pony was for our children to ride and play with. Hahaha
One time we (I rode in a carpool with co-employees from Hudson) were on our way to work and I was half asleep and my friends woke me up and said, did you hear that? I said, what? They told me the radio station just gave thanks to my wife for suggesting a swap and shop on the radio and their listeners increased tremendously and they were going to have a show in one of the schools this coming weekend and they were inviting people to bring their merchandise to sell and they were inviting the public to come and it is free of charge and there would be free drinks and cookies. Wow for a woman who do not leave the house she could do a lot. We did go to this show and it was full. The whole school ground was full of vendors and buyers.
Rose became the Treasurer of the Community Fund.
Rose became the Troop Mother of Troop 757 in Cobb County.
Rose became an Officer of the ROTC Booster Club.
Thank You, FATHER and thank you Rose for your great ideas.
Section 2
Section 2. 1940-Present THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN MY WHOLE LIFE:
Probably the greatest miracle that happened in my life in my eighty years on planet earth is this:
1940 During my early childhood there was a high mortality of kids because of lack of medical care. I am blessed and grateful to our ELOHIM YAHUAH or sparing my life.
Another danger I survived while a baby was the Japanese used the babies for Target Practice... Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for sparing me.
Having grown as a poor barefoot newspaper boy running miles and miles to deliver newspapers and sell newspapers barefoot, sold gulaman barefoot at the entrance of the Catholic Church in San Fernando and the theaters and the neighboring towns, gone to school barefoot, attended high school with wooden shoes, gone to college with one pair of sneakers which were torn in some parts which I had to sew, the greatest miracle is this:
I have always wanted to do something great for our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH but I just did not know what and how. Even though at that time I sold newspapers and delivered newspapers barefoot. I sold mamon, hopia and other goods at the bus station barefoot.
Growing up I always envisioned myself as Alexander the Great the Conqueror of the World. I never told anyone about my visions of grandeur because they would certainly laugh at me because I went to school barefoot. Even in our school pictures I was barefoot.
Graduating as Valedictorian from Pampanga School of Arts and Trades opened many doors for scholarships with our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings.
After graduating from MIT (Mapua Institute of Technology) as a Magna Cum Laude (Silver Medalist) and then ranking fourth in our National Chemical Engineering Board Examination, I started to see things happening with the great blessings and protection of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
I taught in two prestigious Universities in the Philippines and I was the Chemical Engineering Board Reviewer in one. I was told I was the youngest Chemical Engineering Board Reviewer at that time.
I hob-nobbed and rubbed elbows with the movers and shakers in Manila. I thought that was a great miracle of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for a little barefoot newspaper boy and vendor of gulaman.
So little by little I saw things happening that could lead to the realization of my Vision to do great things for our FATHER.
With my Business Partners consisting of two Philippine Army Generals and one Fiscal we were able to acquire more than one hundred thousand hectares of land.
However, my Partners told me that if I could leave the Philippines do it at that time because Ferdinand E. Marcos was getting out of control. He wanted to confiscate everything for himself. They should know because they were part of the inner circle because of their positions.
So my family, my wife and four children all under four years old moved to America.
It was difficult for me and my wife especially for my wife because we could not afford house helps and she had to do everything. In the Philippines she did not do anything.
I had to change profession from Chemical Engineering to Computer Science so I could have regular hours to allow me to go to school and take my MBA.
I graduated my MBA and were ready to go home to Manila but Marcos either already declared martial Law or was about to so we decided to move South to Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta was very accommodating to us and our children. With my wife taking the Lead, we got involved in the community and our children excelled in school. They told us they did not experience any discrimination. In high school, Our oldest girl was Editor of their school paper. Our oldest boy was President of the Student Body. Our Middle son was Vice President of the Student Body and our Youngest son as well.
All three boys attained Eagle Scout rank the highest rank in Boy Scout. All three were appointed to the US Naval Academy and all three graduated from the US Naval Academy. The oldest boy was sent to Medical School and then Anesthesiology School. The middle Boy was a Pilot Instructor for the US Navy.
My wife was Troop Mother and I was an Adult Scout Leader. I was also President of Kiwanis and became Distinguished President of Kiwanis International. I was Board Member of the Salvation Army Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta, Ga. I was Public Relations Chairman of 27 Kiwanis Clubs in the Metro Atlanta and I was a Member of the Atlanta Clean City Commission and our family was awarded Super Citizen Award by Turner Broadcasting Network.
I hob-nobed and robbed elbows with Billionaires and Movers and Shakers in the Metro Atlanta.
Not bad for a once barefoot newspaper boy. Only by the grace and blessings of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH this happened.
So my Vision to do great things for our FATHER is taking shape.
Then I thought an opportunity came when my childhood friend called me in Georgia and asked me to help him recover his gold stolen by Marcos.
I had a family meeting to make sure the whole family agrees because we were going to battle with the most powerful and influential man in the Philippines who had more than 11,000 Political Enemies killed and thousands imprisoned for no reason at all.
We knew Marcos was influential in the Philippines but we did not know he also controlled many politicians and organizations in the United States.
As a result of this lawsuit I received many death threats and our Attorney’s investigator was attacked at the parking lot of her apartment building.
To make a long story short, after twenty seven years of litigation which brought our attorneys all over the world, we did not get anything. We got a $22+ Billion Unanimous Jury Verdict plus interest totaling about $45 + Billions. The Hawaii Supreme Court did a magic it reduced that amount to $1 Million which we could not even collect due to some technicality. Wow and Hahaha.
So the vehicle which I thought would bring about the realization of my Vision to do great things for our FATHER was crushed.
After that happened, I never gave up. I continued to make plans on how to accomplish my Vision. The different trusts were created. More detailed plans on my Vision to do great things for our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH were also developed.
Our Creed, our Dedication, our Vision, our Values, our Goals, and our Priorities were developed and put in writing.
The Spiritual Body i.e. the Congregation of YAHUAH was created on paper including the teachings that would be taught like the use of the true names for our FATHER- Supreme King YAHUAH, the Son- Supreme Prince Yahusha and HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
I had the Dry Seal made in Georgia and at Staples in Jacksonville.
The Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom was designed and created as well as the Fiscal Body.
The Dry Seals for the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH, the Dry Seal of the Fiscal Body were designed and created as well.
I never gave up hope on my Vision because I know I serve the greatest ELOHIM, the only ELOHIM, the CREATOR, OWNER AND CONTROLLER of everything, including all the Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds, all precious stones, all the Gold, Platinum, Silver, all the precious metals, all the wealth and everybody. HE controls even the fate of nations, the destinies of people. HE controls even our life because HE owns it and can take it any time HE wishes.
Our FATHER has a promise in the Holy Scriptures which says in Proverbs 13:22, the riches of the sinners are laid up for the just. The just are the children of Supreme King YAHUAH.
I always believe what our FATHER says in HIS Holy Scriptures and I kept planning and preparing and doing what was needed so I could be ready when the time comes when the flood gates of blessings are opened.
And the time has come. All the wealth of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH is now under HIS Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom.
Our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH’s has consolidated all HIS Wealth which is unlimited and entrusted this wealth with me and Jennifer under the Umbrella of the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom to transform the world for our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s everlasting glory by giving opportunity to everyone to obey HIS Commandments – the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, the Abominations like no same sex sex, to Attain World Peace and Prosperity for all who obey HIS Commandments – the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and the abominations like no same sex sex.
Jennifer and I are humbled that out of almost 8 Billion people on earth, FATHER, YOU chose us. Thank YOU, FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH through YOUR Son our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of YOUR Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Jennifer and I give thanks, honor, glory and praise to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, our Savior Supreme Prince Yahusha by the Divine Infinite Power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for making my Vision a reality. It may have taken 68 years in the making but it is here now and the mechanism and structure are in place as outlined in this Constitution of the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH. YOU are the most awesome ELOHIM, the GREATEST MIRACLE MAKER from everlasting to everlasting. YOU reign from everlasting to everlasting. NO ONE IS LIKE YOU. YOU ARE THE ONLY ELOHIM I KNOW AND I WORSHIP.
Reading YOUR Besorah of Yahusha and watching the movies made out of these Holy Scriptures, I do believe that YOU planned everything from everlasting to everlasting.
Section 3
Section 3. Summary of Additional MIRACLES
1972. Surviving Double Pneumonia. I did not realize it until after I got out of the hospital after one month in the hospital that very few people survived double pneumonia. Thank YOU FATHER for sparing me.
1982 Having three sons attained the highest rank in Boy Scout of America i.e. that of Eagle Scout and be nominated to attend the prestigious US Naval Academy in the Deep South was a Miracle.
To be awarded “Super Citizen” Award by Ted Turner’s Network was a miracle. As far as I know it was the only award that was ever given.
To hob-nob and robbed elbows with the Billionaires in Atlanta was a miracle. You cannot pay enough money to wine and dine with these people. I estimate that those people I was dining with owned the whole Southeast, USA.
To be Chairman of Public Relations for 27 Kiwanis Clubs in the Metro Atlanta Area was a miracle.
For our children to excel in school and our oldest daughter was Editor of the school paper, our oldest son was elected President of the Student Council and our Second and third sons were elected Vice Presidents of the Student Council were miracles in the Deep South.
Meeting the Head of the Technology Department of American Greetings Card Company and introducing me to the SPA (Systems and Procedures Association) National Convention held in Cleveland Ohio and meeting Mr. Ray Philips one of the Operations Managers of Ohio Bell which resulted in my employment by Ohio Bell Telephone Company was a miracle.
I met the Head of the Technology Department of American Greetings because I went there to apply for a job. But he told me that their pay scale was not good enough to support a large family like mine.
Rescuing Roger from his kidnappers and bringing him back to Manila was a miracle. Roger was kidnapped in a hospital in Baguio City without any documents like passports, visa, etc. The kidnappers hid him in one of the mountains in Australia. Australia is a large continent. To locate and find him was a miracle in itself. Now to rescue him from the kidnappers was another miracle. After rescuing Roger from the kidnappers and getting him papers so that he could go back to the Philippines was another miracle. And to find money to pay for his papers and transportation back to the Philippines is another miracle. FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH YOU are the greatest Miracle Maker from everlasting to everlasting. And I give you all the glory, praise and honor now and forever. May all my future generations proclaim YOUR greatness, YOUR awesomeness, YOUR mercy, YOUR loving kindness, YOUR provisions and protection.
Being new in Cleveland area we did not know which was safe to pick nick. We found a nice place kinda secluded and we pick nicked there.
The following week the parks people caught a fifteen foot python from the same area we were the week before.
Before leaving the Philippines for USA one of my co-employees at United Drug whom I did not know he did not even give me his name gave me a letter to his sister in a suburb of Cleveland and he told me she is a doctor maybe she could help with the kids.
Dr. Mariano Pizarro and Dr. Araceli Pizarro were sent by our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH to take care of our children. They were great. If their office was closed or it was on week end, we could bring our children to their home for consultation.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is awesome.

Section 4
Section 4. The following are the detailed Miracles in my life and I tried to estimate the year they happened because some of them happened long time ago.
Section 5
1945 Section 5. When I was five years old, I fell from the batalan (dirty kitchen) of our house and my head hit the trunk of a guava tree that was attached to the stairs from the second floor to the ground floor.
This was during WW II and no doctors were available. So my grand Ma and my Mom used home remedy to try to help me. This left a long and large scar on my forehead which is even visible even now.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Thank YOU that there was no infection. Our ELOHIM is awesome and the home remedy worked without infection and complication.
Section 6
1945 Section 6. During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, the Japanese used little children as target practice. I am so blessed that our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH spared my life.
Many times our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH spared my life from poisonous snakes:
Aunt Carolina’s store in the barrio.
At the door of my apartment at the Kiril’s.
At a gas station coming from Atlanta Georgia to Pensacola to bring Ed’s car.
At the Kiril’s yard.
At the door of the Great Room in Moorings.
Thank you FATHER for sparing my life.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
Section 7
1946 Section 7. Testimony – My Mom
The greatest woman in history is named Mary. For nine months she bore my Master, Messiah, Redeemer and Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha.
The second greatest woman in history is my beloved mother.
Section 8
Section 8. During WW II my parents were officers of the Resistance Forces. My father was sentenced to die by firing squad because a family complained about him claiming he was out in the middle of the night and their dogs barked at him and their dogs alerted the Japanese spies that someone violated the curfew set by the Japanese.
My father was out in the middle of the night on official business. Every night a person regardless of rank is assigned the task of alerting the neighboring towns about the movement of the Japanese soldiers so that the town’s people could move to a safe place away from the Japanese soldier’s route.
During WW II the Resistance Organization was set up like a formal government. They had the Armed Services, the Judiciary, the Legislative and the Executive Body headed by the Supreme Commander.
There was a Hearing and the Lower Court sentenced my father to die by firing squad.
My mother, a diminutive woman of less than five feet tall with only a second grade education appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
This was her appeal. (I will try to translate it to English as best I can as it was related to me. My mother was so eloquent in her native tongue. In later years she wrote poems, songs and declamations used in expositions and argumentation and debate.)
Your Honor, my husband is not a native of our province. He does not speak our dialect very well. Even though he is not from this place because of his love for our people, my husband embraced our culture, our way of life, our beliefs and convictions. He is willing to sacrifice his life and die for our people and to prove this; he is an officer of the Armed Services.
I do not deny that my husband was out in the middle of the night which stirred up the dogs of this family. The dogs barking of course alerted the Japanese spies that someone violated the curfew set by the Japanese.
Your Honor, my husband was out in the middle of the night on official business. That night he was assigned to alert the neighboring towns about the movement of the Japanese soldiers so that the town’s people could move to a safer place away from the Japanese soldier’s route.
Your Honor, was it not mandated by the Legislative Body that in order to protect the “runners” all dogs would be killed?
With heavy and broken hearts we killed our beloved dogs. How come the dogs of this family were not killed?
Is this family working for the Japanese, our enemy?
Is this family spying for the Japanese?
Were the dogs of this family kept alive in order to alert the Japanese spies that someone was out in the middle of the night?
I submit Your Honor that they violated a very critical law in order to aid the Japanese spies. This family instead of helping the towns people they helped the enemies, the Japanese. Therefore:
I submit Your Honor that this family:
Violated a critical law in order to aid our enemy, the Japanese.
This family instead of helping the town’s people helped our enemy, the Japanese.
In addition, I submit Your Honor:
That my husband did not violate any law.
My husband risked his life to help the town’s people.
My husband was doing his duty delegated to him by higher authority to warn the people in the neighboring towns about the movement of the Japanese soldiers so that they could move to a safer place.
(Note: During that time the runners could not ride anything. They have to run that is why they were called runners.)
Therefore, I ask this Honorable Court to acquit my husband of any and all wrong doings.
My husband should be treated a Hero for endangering his life to help the towns people.
As for this family accusing my husband, they were the ones who violated the law. They were the ones aiding and abetting the enemies, the Japanese by not killing their dogs.
They are the traitors and they deserve to die by firing squad.
Thank you Your Honor.
The Decision of the Supreme Court: My father was acquitted of any and all wrong doings. The Accusers, a family of five were all executed by firing squad and their dogs were also killed.
WOW WHAT A WOMAN. WHAT A LAWYER. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST LEGAL MIND OF THE CENTURY IF SHE WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through YOUR Son, our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for giving my Mother the gift of knowledge, understanding, wisdom and the courage to exercise and apply those gifts.
The Holy Scriptures says that we are not blessed with the Spirit of Fear but we can do all things in Supreme Prince Yahusha’s name.
Praise, honor and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 9
1946 Section 9. After WW II, my Mom was charged by someone as being a Japanese Collaborator. This of course was a lie. The true charge was that my Mom and Dad belonged to a Christian Church and the “Huks” were communists and they did not believe in Supreme Being. Of course it would create another problem for the Huks if they killed my family because my Mom and Dad belonged to a Christian Church.
These were the same people she and my Dad worked with fighting the Japanese. Wow, one day they were your Comrades and the next day they were your enemies. It is possible that the woman charging my Mom who just gave birth to my younger brother was somehow related to the family who owned the dogs. Please see Testimony about my Mom.
Anyway my Mom and her whole family were sentenced to death by burying her and her family in the hole in the ground alive. My Dad was ordered to dig the hole in the ground. And people with guns were there watching.
It was in mid afternoon when Commander Dante, the nephew of my Mom arrived and I knew the guy. His Battalion used to come and have a feast at my Dad and Mom’s farm. My Dad and Mom would kill carabao and pigs to feed them.
Commander Dante inquired what was happening while he was holding me in his arms. He talked to the local Commander and after a while, Commander Dante told my parents to leave town and take everything they could.
My parents went to the neighboring town of Arayat with their few belongings and their horse drawn cart, their carabao and other miscellaneous stuff. But my Dad was a farmer and they had to leave their farm land, their home and all their families from my grandparents, siblings, nephews and nieces. They had to start a new life, a new way of making a living, a place to stay, etc.
It was a miracle that Commander Dante came when he did because there was no communication available between my parents and Commander Dante. There was neither telephone nor telegraph. The question in my mind now is why did he come and for what purpose? The War was over and there was no reason for him to be in that area.
I sincerely believe that our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH made him come to save us from death because a few more minutes and the people with guns would be forcing my whole family into the hole in the ground that my Dad dug from morning until mid afternoon when Commander Dante came.
Thank YOU FATHER for sending YOUR Angel in the person of Commander Dante to intercede to save my family from death.
Praise, honor and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for saving my whole family from death by suffocation because we were going to be buried alive!.
Section 10
1946 Section 10. After the WW II, my Mom and I were picking guavas in our back yard. We were having fun because the guava fruits were so big because they have not been picked for many months because of the war.
Coiled on one of the branches was a snake and my Mom almost touched it. My Mom took my hand and we went home. I asked my Mom why she did not kill the snake. She told me the snake was just enjoying eating the guavas. We will go back tomorrow and it will be gone. Also she told me if we killed that snake and it has relatives they may take revenge against us. I do not know if that is true but I believed my Mom.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
Section 11
1946 Section 11. Mom, Dad and I brought our watermelon harvest from Sitio, Arayat to Angeles City by “caromata”. We set up in the market and breakfast time came and Dad and I went to a local cafe to eat breakfast. Dad finished first. He asked me do I know how to get back to our stall? I looked around and I thought I knew so I told Dad sure I know how to go back to Mom. I was six or so years old. I finished eating my breakfast and I got lost. I could not fine Mom and Dad. I do not know how long I was wandering and finally Dad found me. Lesson learned. Make sure you really know before you say you know. Your life could depend on it.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that Dad found me before a child abductor found me. Otherwise there is no telling where I could be. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
1946 we were in Sitio, Arayat Pampanga and a group of us little children went to the river close to the power plant.
This river had a nice beach where people could wash their clothes or swim.
A group of us little children went to the river and we saw a hole in the ground closed to the beach. We made bets on who could reach the hole first. We ran as fast as we could and it was a miracle that no one among us jumped into the hole because we normally did to determine the winner.
When we looked into the hole there were a bunch of snakes.
Little kids did not play with the snakes but instead we proceeded to the beach and played. Surprisingly, at that time there were no adults at the river.
1947 I was in Arayat Elementary School and the huks invaded the town. The teachers were familiar with these raids and they were not scared. They methodically and safely moved us from our building which was not concrete to a building which was solid concrete.
The raid lasted long and so the Principal decided to let the children go home if they wished or they could stay until the dismissal time. This was about 11:30 AM and dismissal time was 5:00 PM.
I opted to go home. I normally walked back and forth to school with the kids in my neighborhood but in this case I had to negotiate the route by myself without my friends.
I went by the public market hoping to see my Mom who sold fish in the market but I did not see her. I proceeded home and no one was home so I hid myself in the small closet until someone came home. It was like forever waiting in that little closet and I fell asleep.
That was a very scary experience for a little boy of seven years old who was never left alone for any period of time.
Well later on we found out that the huks did not kill any town’s people. They did kill some soldiers and turned over their armored car into the ditch.
Late afternoon, my family came home and I felt safe.
Thank YOU FATHER for YOUR reassurance and Divine protection that all will be well.
Because of these recurring raids of the huks, my Mom and Dad decided to move to a large city called San Fernando. This meant that my Dad would build us a new house. I believe he was able to salvage some materials from the house he built in Arayat.
New town, new people, new challenges and new opportunities. This is one thing I admired about my parents. They were adaptable. My Dad had to find another way to make living and of course my Mom was at home wherever she happened to be because she was a merchant of anything and everything.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Dad was a farmer. He had to give that up because of the Huks. In Arayat, he worked as a Carpenter in Manila. He stayed in Manila biweekly. He left Sunday afternoon for Manila and would not come home until after two weeks. My Mom did not like that arrangement so they bought a horse and large cart to haul people and merchandise around town and to neighboring little barrios.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Mom sold chicken and produce in Angeles City. When we moved to the town of Arayat, my Mom bought and sold rice, corn and fish. She also became a small Banker. The farmers would borrow money from her with a promissory note they would pay after harvest season. There was no formal written document. It was a hand shake and a little piece of paper showing how much was borrowed and how many cavans (one cavan is I beloved 50-55 kilos of palay) of rice would be delivered to the rice mill where my Mom kept her rice. She did not transport any rice. The farmer would deliver the rice to the Rice mill and they would get a receipt and they would give that receipt to my Mom. What a smart woman.
When we moved to San Fernando, she continued that banking business and she branched out to mangoes. She would buy the whole plantation of mangoes when the mangoes were just flowers. The risk was that if there was a storm, the flowers would be wipe out and there would be no mangoes to harvest. But she was blessed by our FATHER. She never experienced of not having mangoes.
She would pay in advance when the mangoes were just lowers and the owner of the Plantation grove would deliver the mangoes to my Mom’s warehouse.
She also branched out into fish ponds. She would buy the fish when they were about an inch long and the risk was if there was a flood the little fishes would be gone. But again our FATHER protected her investments and she always made money.
Our FATHER is awesome. He always takes care of HIS own. HE loves HIS own and protects their investments.
Thank YOU, FATHER for YOUR loving kindness.
My Mom was a good business woman but she is also kind hearted. She had an open hand for those who need help.
One time one of my cousins went to Mang Doman, the Head Deacon of the INC is San Fernando. He also operated a fairly large store in the market. My cousin was asking to buy on credit one half of gallon of rice to be paid by the weekend because that would be his pay day. Mang Doman told my cousin he did not sell on credit.
My cousin went to my Mom who was in the same Market and told her what happened. My Mom went to Mang Doman with my cousin. My Mom in soft voice asked Mang Doman if he would want to buy rice and it was deposited at the Rice Mill where my Mom deposits her rice. My Mom said I have several hundreds of cavans of rice there and showed him the receipts. I would give it to you at a lower price than the prevailing market price.
Mang Doman was embarrassed because he could not afford to buy the rice. And here is the Head Deacon of INC and would not even help his brethren with two quarts of rice.
My mom bought what my cousin needed and all was well.
Now that I have been enlightened, the question in my mind: Does this Head Deacon of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) which claims to be the true church exhibits the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh?
Fruits of the Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, kindness, gentleness, goodness, self control, etc.
Section 12
1947 Section 12. MIRACLE – BULLET MISSING ME BY AN INCH
When I was about six years old we lived in a war zone in Arayat, Pampanga. The HUKS were very active and regularly raided the town. The Philippine Army could not cope with the constant raid of the HUKS. Then the government in conjunction with the Philippine Army formed a military unit called “Civilian Guard” which was designed to protect the townspeople from the HUKS. This was a volunteer army. All the members were volunteers. They did not have any salary or any enumeration. However, the government supplied the bullets, the guns and the uniforms.
It so happened all the members of the Civilian Guard were members of a small but growing church. My Family were members of this church.
It was standard operating procedure that when the HUKS start firing at the houses which normally happened at night, people would run for the places which were made of concrete for protection. In our case the closest place was the old train station which was not in operation any more since it was bombed during the war but some parts of the concrete structure was still intact.
One night the HUKS started firing randomly at houses. Everybody started running for the train station. All my family members were already downstairs when I woke up. I started walking out of the kitchen towards the “batalan” the dirty kitchen (where they roasted fish or cooked fish of any kind so that it does not stink the whole house). This was an open area where they also stored water.
A special kind of bullet the one that glows in the dark missed me by no more than an inch. I was so scared I peed on my pants. I was so afraid and shaking but did not tell anyone. I went downstairs and with my family we ran to the train station. At the train station everyone was so scared that they did not even notice that I was wet with pee. Hahaha if someone noticed my stinking pants it would have been embarrassing because I kinda like one of the girls my age. We were six years old. Hahaha
WOW I missed death by an inch. Thank you FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for saving my life by the power of YOUR Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in the mighty and precious name of YOUR Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha. Thank YOU for protecting me.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 13
1948 Section 13. Long snake sun bathing while I was flying a kite in the rice field behind our house in Arayat, Pampanga.
I was flying my kite on the rice field behind our house. I was running to get some wind under my kite. When I looked back to see how high was my kite, I saw a long snake sun bathing beside the little dike they use to hold water for the rice. It was a good 12 feet long.
I dropped my string and ran as fast as I could to home. Talking about scared. Hahaha
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 14
1948 -49 Section 14. As I mentioned in another testimony, my father was a member of the Civilian Guards and he was issued a rifle they called a Garand. I believe it was a standard military issue. He laid it on top of a table in our living room. We were eating dinner and I finished first so I had time to look around the living room. I saw the rifle and it was nice and shiny. I was admiring it and I was stroking it with my right hand and I accidentally pulled the trigger and the shell flew to our dining table. There was a loud noise. The bullet narrowly missed my grandmother whose house was next door to us. There was so much commotion because people thought the Huks were the one who fired the shot. So the Captain who happened to be my Uncle, Captain Balajadia and a few men were checking house to house to make sure no one got hurt. Captain Balajadia asked my Dad if everything is alright and my Dad responded everything is alright here. Everyone else in the house was quiet. And they went.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH, they did not investigate any further because even if they just took the gun of my Dad they would have known it was fired recently because it would still be hot and the magazine containing the bullets would be missing one bullet.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 15
1949 Section 15. At the back of our house in Arayat there was a small dike of may be about four feet high and it was over grown with weeds, bushes and plants. On top of the dike was a path made for walking along the dike. I was walking with my two of my friends and I was the leader because you can only walk single file. We were so engrossed with our conversation about our adventure in the backyard that I almost stepped on a snake that was crossing our path. As little kids it did not even stopped us from going where we were supposed to go. It did not bother us at all. Just note that 99% of the snakes in the Philippines are poisonous.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is most awesome.
Section 16
1950 Section 16. When I was in Second Grade in Elementary School, I used to cut “sakate” for my Dad’s horses. He had two that he used to pull a carriage to transport people around town. One day I was cutting “sakate” and I piled the cut grass on one place and then I was ready to put it in a sack. As I was grabbing the “sakate” I also grabbed a snake with the “sakate”. I right away dropped the “sakate” and the snake went away. After I made sure there was no more snake in the sakate, I put it all in the sack and I went home. I carried the sack of “sakate” on my head. Note: sakate is grass about one foot tall and higher.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 17
1950 Section 17. My Dad decided to sell one of his horses to one of my Uncles in Arayat. We were in San Fernando, Pampanga. By car it was not very far. It was probably thirty miles away. I was probably ten years old.
My Dad decided I would ride the horse bare back from San Fernando to Arayat. So instead of a saddle, I had the burlap sack as saddle. My Dad did not put the blinders which we normally used when they pull the carriage so that they do not get spooked and their vision is only straight. He put the cowboy style bit so the horse saw everything along the way.
In town there was no problem the horse was well behave. However as we went out of the town, there was open spaces where wild horse roamed around. The horse I was riding was a male of about between one and two years old. The wild horses made noise and my horse responded and jumped with his front legs up in the air.
Needless to say I fell but hanging on to the rein. Suddenly a man on a carabao (water buffalo) appeared from nowhere and said where are you headed? I said Arayat, Sir. He said hold on to the rein and get on the carabao and hang to me.
I do not know how long it took. We were both quiet. We did not say a word. Any way we reached Arayat and my parents were there waiting. As soon as I got off the carabao, I was going to introduce the man to my parents and he and his carabao were already about two hundred yards away and it was Sunday, a market day. The place was crowded and they closed the roads in that area because of too many vendors and people buying and selling merchandise. I never saw the face of the man. I believe he was an Angel from our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
Additional miracle riding horse to Arayat from San Fernando. When the man on the water buffalo (carabao) appeared my horse quieted down.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and protecting HIS own in this case by providing and Angel disguised as a farmer riding a carabao. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 18
1952 Section 18. May be some people are just born trouble maker. On weekends I alternated with my Dad in driving our horse drawn carriage. I brought someone to a place close to the Pampanga High School. And on the way back a man of about eighteen years old tried to grab my horse’ bit. With no hesitation I hit him with all my might with my whip until he let go. I was about ten years old and I did not know what was his intention was but I know whatever it was it did not feel good to me.
When he let go of the horse’ bit I sped away from that place and went back to market where I normally pick up passengers. Driving these horse drawn carriages is like being a taxicab driver. You are really at the mercy of the passenger. The Driver and the passenger do not have anything that separated them. They also did not have any means of communication.
So before you take anyone as a passenger, the Driver needed to ask where they were going. If I was not familiar to the place or it is too far, I tell them to get another carriage. But sometimes people lie about their destination.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and protecting HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1952-57 Every day I had to wake up at 4 AM to go to the Bus Station and sell newspapers. Except on Sweepstakes Ticket Day, I had to wake up at 2 AM to pick up the newspapers. Every day I walked more or less a mile and a half from my house to the bus station. I had to pass a long stretch of paved road with big mansions on both side of the road. One mansion on the left side of the road had about a dozen big dogs. They were about 3 ½ feet tall. They let them out on the road at the time I passed their mansion. So the dogs were wondering about when I went through. The dogs were taller than me.
They never bothered me but for a little boy of eight years old that was a scary experience. It was like Daniel in the Lion’s Den.
There were times I was really afraid to go the lion’s den and I took the alternate route which was longer but no lions. The problem with that route the dogs were smaller but were mean. They chased me.
So I always ended up going through the lions’ den.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that YOU protected me from those big dogs.
Section 19
1954 Section 19. Virgilio Capati. I will never forget this guy. Virgilio was a classmate at Pampanga School of Arts and Trades. This is a trade school but in addition the student takes a full load of the regular high school curriculum. So when a student graduates he or she has two choices. Work on his/her trade like mechanic, metal worker, etc. Or could go to college if qualified.
I really do not know what was wrong with Virgilio. He always bullied me and challenged me to a fight. Of course I could not fight him because that would be put on my record and that could prohibit me from receiving any award or honor.
But there are times when a person reaches a point that all you can do is fight. One Friday afternoon at lunch time I talked to Virgilio. I told him since he had been challenging me to fight for years, I said let us put an end to this.
After school when everyone has left, we would go to the middle of the rice field behind the school and we would fight it out until one of us was dead. No one would know we were there. I said whoever is dead would be left in the rice field until someone finds him and no one would claim responsibility.
Hahaha. Virgilio did not take the challenge. So I told him to stop his bullying.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that Virgilio did not take the challenge. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Regarding bullying, Robert a student at McEachern told me he was being bullied by three boys in the school bus and he was always afraid to ride the bus but he did not have any choice. I showed him a few Karate moves and I told him when you ride the bus again, if they bully you make sure you hit one of them as strong as you could and they will never bother you again.
Well, next time I saw Robert, he told me they do not bother him anymore. I asked why? And Robert told me he hit one of them at the Adam’s apple and choked. Hahaha
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh who blesses us with courage to fight for our right. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 19
1957 Section 19. It was our Senior Year in high school and we were having our Final Exams in all the subjects. There was rumor that the Valedictorian would not come from Bacolor, Pampanga, the location of our school. For years as far anyone could remember, the Valedictorian always came from Bacolor. I guess they were making sure that Vicente one of the locals would get the honor and title.
Ten days before the exams one of the local boys borrowed my History book called Modern Times and the Living Past, History is one of those subjects that everything is memory work, dates, people, events, etc.
He was supposed to return the book after two days but when I asked for it he told me he could not find it. You know that was a fat lie. But what could I do?
Felixberto Umali? One of our classmates learned about it. He told me I could use his book for two days and he would use it afterwards.
But that day he did not have it because History was not one of our subjects that day so we had to go to his house to get it. Time was important because we did not have time to waste. But his house was very far and there were no Jeepney or other transportation going to his house so we had to walk.
I did not mind walking because I was used to it delivering newspapers. But what made our trip memorable was we had to cross a RR bridge that did not have railings. And to make it more challenging there was a flood so the RR ties were under water. And what made it more difficult was the RR ties could not be seen because they were covered with rice husks.
We had to feel the RR ties to locate them with our bare feet and here comes the trolley sounding its horn because apparently the Engineer saw us crossing the bridge. So we got nervous. Couple of times I missed the RR ties and I had to get my balance again.
Well we made it across and the Engineer waived at us.
Then Felixberto told me that taking my book was a ploy so that I would not do well in the Finals and that would give Vicente an edge. Vicente was a local boy whom they thought could take the honor and title of Valedictorian because ever since time immemorial the Valedictorian always was a local student.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for nice people like Felixberto. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 20
1957 Section 20. Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that in spite of all the things the locals did to make sure the honor and title of “VALEDICTORIAN” was awarded to a local boy. Our ELOHIM saw fit to award it to me. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
During graduation week, the teachers paired the students for the Graduation Ball so that there won’t be any confusion during the Ball. The girl who was partnered with me who was a Spanish mestiza did not want to be partnered with me. She did not want to dance with me. Also my friends who were also locals told me the local boys who did not approve of the title being awarded to me were going to kidnap me after the graduation ceremony.
I told this to my Mom so as soon as the Diplomas were handed and the Ceremony was officially over, my group left in a rented Jeepney.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for not making the bad local boys succeed with their hideous plans. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 21
1959 Section 21. When I was going to college and I was staying at my Uncle Evaristo in Manila, our faucet in the kitchen broke. My Uncle was at work and my grand ma was with me at home. We did not have any tools like wrenches, pliers screw drivers, etc.
I walked along the street looking for a mechanic shop and I found one about two miles from home. I borrowed an adjustable wrench and a plier. I told the guy I would return them as soon as I have fixed the faucet. Without hesitation he gave me the tools.
During that time tools were very expensive and were not readily available as they are now. There was no Wal-Mart, no Harbor Freight, and no Sears. And all the tools were made in USA.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 22
1962 Section 22. I used to work for Atlas Fertilizer in Cebu, Philippines. I also belonged to a church and I was a dedicated member. So Thursday and Sunday I had to go to church. The only problem was that they met in a house that was a good three miles from where I boarded. Since most of the people worked during the day, the worship service was always at night. I had to walk in the dark and I did not know that snakes like to lie on hot or warm asphalt road.
It was a blessing I did not step on one.
Thank YOU FATHER for sparing me.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 23
1962 Section 23. From Letty’s house to her cousin’s house. I visited Letty Miranda in Zambales. On the way to Letty’s house, I went to her cousin to tag him along to Letty’s house. Her cousin and I over stayed and the Jeepneys stopped running their route so we had to walk in the dark. Her cousin sensed that a group of boys were ready to ambush passersby. Her cousin started talking in their language and told them who we were and they did not attack us.
Wow that was a close call. Thank YOU FATHER for sparing our lives.
That night I slept at Letty’s cousin’s house.
The following morning I was going home to San Fernando and I took a Jeepney and two men accosted me in the Jeepney. I guess they did not like men from other towns courting their girls.
After the Jeepney ride I was going to ride a bus that would take me to San Fernando, a five hour trip.
It so happened before the Jeepney stop, I saw a friend and co-boarder at La Peral Apartments. He was big and masculine and I stopped the Jeepney and paid my fare. Whatever the plans of the two men was foiled because I got off the Jeepney and told my friend the two men were after me. So he accompanied me to the Bus station and waited with me until the bus left.
When I got off the Jeepney, I saw a friend who was the former Miss Zambales and winked at me. I wanted to stay for the night but under the circumstances, I decided to proceed home to San Fernando.
Thank YOU FATHER for YOUR provision and for YOUR protection.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. HE provided the help at the right moment. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 24
1962 Section 24. Letty worked in Manila and I used to go visit her at her apartment in Ludovico. There was a narrow street leading to her apartment. One time I overstayed and as I was walking down the narrow alley, the Leader of the gang I would call canto boys approached me with a revolver. The narrow alley was dimly lit but I could see the revolver very vividly.
He was pointing it at me but I walked and approached him as if I did not see the revolver. I passed him and the gang at the corner shouted at him what happened. I pretended not to know and went through the gang members standing by.
The following day I learned that guy was the leader of the gang or canto boys and fell in love with Letty. I guess he did not want a rival.
Thank YOU my ELOHIM, Supreme King YAHUAH for sparing my life once again.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1962 I took the Chemical Engineering Board Examination and the results were released but not mine. I found out later that the people were corrupt and they sold good exam paper to those who would pay.
We had a family friend in Palauig, Zambales. Her name was Tita Conching. She had a sister married to the Provincial Treasure of Zambales. He had a daughter named Letty and I was friend with Letty but her Dad the Provincial Treasurer did not approve of me because we were very poor. He wanted someone who was better than me. To me that was fine because I would do the same thing.
Anyway it so happened that I was at Letty’s apartment and her Dad came and visited her. After a long chat, he asked me how I did in the Board Exam. I told him all the results have been published in the papers except mine. That was Sunday evening and the following day he called the Board Examiners and right away they released my Board Exam Result and it showed I ranked fourth. Of course they probably sold my other papers already because I know in my heart I aced that Board Examination. How do I know I aced it? The most difficult part of the exam was the Unit Operations. And all my exams in that subject were perfect i.e. 100 % during our Senior Year. I reviewed all my subjects at least three times during the Board Examination and they were all perfect.
The miracle here is that her Dad did not like me and yet he did not mind helping me get my Board Exam Results.
1962 I was encouraged by my other classmates to file for Immigration to the USA. So I did even though I did not plan to come to the USA at that time.
I got married with four children and with my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings we were doing great financially so I did not follow up my interest in immigrating to the USA. I was teaching in the two most prestigious universities in Manila, my wife and I operated a chemical business, I was working as a Technical Representative and I had other business dealings and my partners were two Army Generals, a Fiscal and WW II veteran.
1968 - My Partners told me that if I could leave the Philippines I need to go now because Marcos was getting out of hand.
Then within days after my Partners told me to leave for the USA. A letter from the US Embassy arrived and said if I did not take my allotment they would give it to someone else. I talked it over with the family. It is a big decision moving four children to a foreign country with a wife and no relatives or friends to help.
We decided we would immigrate to the USA. I went to the US Embassy in response to their letter so I did not have to wait in line. They processed me really quick and on the way out in line was Professor Virgilio Gonzales, my co-professor at Far Eastern University. We chatted for a few minutes and it so happened we were both going to Cleveland, Ohio. We parted and said that may be we would see each other in Cleveland. That chance meeting was a blessing.
I gave my two week notice to United Drug and one of my co-employees whom I did not know, gave me a letter of introduction to his sister in Cleveland. All he told me was get in touch with her in case the kids need medical care. In my excitement of going to the US I did not even get his name.
This became very useful because with four little kids and no health insurance in the US, his sister who was a Pediatrician and the husband was a surgeon, helped us a lot with our children. The beauty of this was we could bring the children to their home if they were sick and needed immediate attention.
I will never forget them. Dr. Araceli Pizarro and Dr. Mariano Pizarro. They were angels sent to earth for my children and my wife and I.
Praise and Honor and Glory to our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for HIS provisions by the power of HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh, in HIS Son’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha.
Section 25
1962 Section 25. Atlas Fertilizer Corporation, Cebu. My first job after graduating chemical engineering and passing the Chemical Engineering Board Examination was as a Junior Engineer at Atlas Fertilizer in Cebu. It was a good experience. During the annual shut down for cleaning and regular maintenance of the plant I was in charge of de-rusting and cleaning the towers which were about fifty feet high. They gave me a bunch of stevedores to do the cleaning.
Stevedores are short on the brain but are big in stature and muscles. At that time we did not have all the safety harness that OSHA requires here in the US. We had to tie a rope around the waist of the men as a harness to climb the ladders or scaffolding to clean the towers. The inside of the towers was not as bad because for every section of the scrubbing tower there was an opening designed for cleaning that section of the tower. The stevedores would not climb the scaffolding. So I had to show them that it could be done with the safety rope. I was the first one to climb. Hahaha. And then they did it safely.
After that I left Cebu because most of the people there had lung problems and we had to have physicals every two weeks just to make sure we did not have any problem. The reason for this was that the scrubbing towers were not efficient enough to absorb all the SO3 gases that was converted into sulfuric acid.
I took the Philippine Steam Ship to Manila. However, on the way we encountered a typhoon and the ship had to dock in one of the islands. I noticed that all the crews left the ship but not the passengers. I was half asleep when I saw a big man with no clothes except his g-string with a knife in his mouth. He was crouching and when he saw me moved, he left. I really did not know what that man’s intentions were but I thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that he left. I did not know if he was an Angel sent to protect me (because I learned later that huge ships sink while docked under a heavy storm.) or he was a pirate to rob us.
After two more days of sailing, we reached Manila at night. It was a mad house at the Pier. There was hardly any light at the pier and people shouting. I pity those poor souls who go to Manila and looked for a job. Who do you trust among the many taxi cabs? I was even scared myself because the taxicab drivers take the passenger for a ride and steal everything and then leave him or her in a remote area. And then before I disembarked, a Junior Officer told me to wait and I would go with him.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for this Junior Officer. He got a taxicab and asked me where I wanted to go. I told him at the bus station and the taxi brought us there and I thank the Junior Officer and he went on his way. I offered money for his return trip and he declined it.
Our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH provides for HIS own and in this case in the person of the Junior Officer.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for nice people like the Junior Officer. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 26
1964 Section 26. It was about 8:00 PM in Manila and my cousin and I were driving from Manila to San Fernando to bring home my cousin who stayed with us in Manila when our first baby was born. Her name is Gloria and she acted as our Second Mother growing up because my Mom was busy with her business.
There was a slow moving tractor trailer on our lane. The road was two lane highway. I looked to see if there was a vehicle coming from the other direction and I did not see any. So I started to overtake this tractor trailer and when our car was midway the tractor trailer another bright light lighted up which I thought was a tractor trailer but I did not really see a tractor trailer and I could not back up or slow down because there were vehicles behind the tractor trailer I was passing.
I really did not know what caused it but I momentarily passed out. In my inner eyes I saw our car and we turned into a piece of paper that floated between the tractor trailer and the bright light ahead of us. At first I thought it was another tractor trailer but I did not really see another tractor trailer and when I regained consciousness we were in front of the tractor trailer we were passing.
My cousin who was about my age passed out also and was seated beside me, and when she regained consciousness asked, what happened? I replied I do not know and we proceeded to San Fernando.
The rest of the trip we were both quite which I could not explain either because we would normally talk about a lot of things.
Wow, we thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for saving our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in YOUR Son’s name our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha. Amein, Amein andAmein.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 27
1964 Section 27. I was teaching Physical Chemistry, and Higher Math at Far Eastern University and I was also teaching Chemical Engineering subjects at National University and I was also a Board Reviewer for Chemical Engineering. I was also studying Management Engineering at Manuel L. Quezon University.
I had lady classmates who liked me. One borrowed money from me and would asked me if I wanted to go out with her. Of course I declined. She knew I was married. This girl was pretty and was always well dressed like Rose. I did not think she needed the money she borrowed from me. This girl was single.
This next girl was married and she was in love with me. She would ask me to take her anywhere. She just wanted to be out of Manila. I asked her where she wanted to go. And her response was wherever you want to take me. I told her that will never happen because we were both married. I finally asked her why she wanted desperately out of her marriage. She told me it was a family arrangement but she does not love the man. Apparently both families were wealthy and the parents pre-arranged the marriage.
It was late and I was concerned about her frame of mind to take the public transportation so I told her I would take her home. We arrived at her house. It was a two story house and her mother was there and her husband was there holding their year old baby boy. The husband was a good looking man and they had a handsome little boy. After saying niceties, I said good night.
I was not about to have two wives which my business partners had. General Vera had two in the same house. But he told me they did not quarrel. They live amicably and tolerated each other. Hahaha. Fiscal Asuncion had two but one lived in Manila and one lived in Quezon. One of our Professors in Chemical Engineering had four.
BUT that is not the kind of life the Bible teaches. So don’t do it. Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for giving me self control and fear and for caring and protecting HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 28
1965 Section 28. My wife, our two children and I were traveling from Manila to San Fernando to visit my parents. We were traveling north on MacArthur Highway and suddenly the hood of our car opened...
We were going probably about sixty miles per hour. The hood turned into a ruder and made our car go to the other lane where there was a bus pull of passengers coming at us.
We narrowly missed the bus and narrowly missed the ravine by about a foot. The ravine was about a twenty foot drop. I was so nervous and my heart was pumping hard and my wife was so calmed just hugging our two children. At that time there were no seat belts on cars.
Wow, we thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for saving our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in YOUR Son’s name our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha. Amein, Amein andAmein.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 29
1967 Section 29. Friday afternoon I brought our car to be serviced for our trip the following day to San Fernando.
Saturday morning my wife and our two children were ready to go. We were only about ten miles from home and our car started overheating. All the new coolant the mechanic put in was wasted. We could not go over a mile and the car overheated and spewed out all the coolant. I had to add water to replace the coolant because stores selling auto stuff were scarce.
I do not know what to do because everything was supposed to be in good running condition after the mechanic serviced it. I have been using this mechanic for years and I know he was a reliable one.
Finally along the way, I saw a small auto shop. I stopped and talked to the old man operating the shop. I told him what was happening.
He opened the hood and checked the controls, the carburetor, the linkages and the distributor. He showed me what was wrong. He told me the mechanic or whoever serviced my car, did not tighten the screw holding the distributor so it would not stay in place. And when it moves, the engine gets out of timing and it causes it to overheat.
He showed me how to tell if the engine is out of timing and how to adjust it so that it is properly timed even without all the equipment needed to adjust it.
He told me what to listen for to make sure the timing is adjusted properly.
WOW, thank you FATHER for this beautiful old man. I asked him how much and he said nothing. Just have a safe trip.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing us this beautiful old man, protecting and caring for HIS own. Thank YOU, FATHER for providing that old man to fix it and to teach me how to fix it in case it happens again. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1966-67
We had a neighbor, a Chinese mestiza with no children but married to a Chinese businessman who went to HK frequently.
One afternoon she sent one of her maid to our house at 3736 Lingayen St. and she told me that her Master wanted me to go to her because she was lonely and wanted company.
I told the maid to tell her master that I am married with children and I cannot have fun with her. Hahaha
Thank YOU FATHER for controlling myself to have fun with a beautiful young Chinese mestiza.
Section 30
1968 Section 30. When I came to Cleveland, Ohio to take up my MBA and to immigrate to the USA, I stayed at the Sheraton in Downtown Cleveland. It was $120.00 per night and that was in 1968. I was at the Train Station eating my lunch one day I met Professor Virgilio Gonzales, who was the secretary to the Dean where I taught at Far Eastern University. A few days before I left the Philippines I saw him at the US Embassy and we chatted a while. And his destination was also Cleveland. We told each other we will probably see each other in Cleveland. And here he was. He asked me where I was staying. I told him at the Sheraton Downtown. He asked how much I was paying and I told him $120.00 per night. He said that is too much. He told me he was staying at the YMCA and he pays $40.00 per week. And they have amenities like barber shop, restaurants, swimming pool, etc. That was a no brainer. We moved my luggage to YMCA and we got rooms that were adjacent so we could communicate without leaving our rooms.
We met some interesting people at the YMCA. But the person I am going to talk about right now are Mr. X and Mr. Y. Mr. X was a Filipino accountant but came to the USA without papers that meant he was staying illegally. As an illegal the only job he could get is telephone operator at the YMCA. I did not know this but he was jealous of Professor Gonzales and me. Of course he could not do anything with Professor Gonzales because he was a big guy. He thought he could do something to damage me. Professor Gonzales learned that they were planning to have me beat up by black people he knew. Professor Gonzales got in touched with another Filipino he knew and this guy is like a marine. He was tall and well built. He is the serious type. I never met this guy until that evening when we got together in a room at the YMCA. He just told the Filipino Accountant in a very firm voice, “He told Mr. X, if anything happened to Felix, I will personally kill you.” And that was it and I never saw that Mr. Y again in my life.
The Filipino Accountant did not try to damage me physically. But he tried to damage me in other ways. He did not give me the messages left by Ohio Bell Telephone Company regarding my application for employment. Mr. Ray Philips whom I met at SPA (Systems and Procedures Association) Convention told me their Human Resources would get in touch with me in two days and it was already a week and I have not received a call from Ohio Bell. So I called Ohio Bell and told them I was expecting a call from them and I have not received a call. They told me they left several messages with the Telephone Operator of the YMCA. Any way they told me to come the following day and take some tests and fill out some paper work.
Is it not strange that you cannot even trust your own countryman? May be some people are just basically bad. I never did anything to this Filipino Accountant/Telephone Operator and why was he doing this to me?
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and providing and protecting HIS own through Director of IT at American Greetings, Mr. Ray Philips of Ohio Bell Telephone Co. and Mr. Y the friend of Professor Gonzales and for Professor Gonzales. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome. Thank YOU, FATHER.
Section 31
1968 Section 31. When I started working for Ohio Bell Telephone Company, I did not have any idea where to look for a place for my family. Jim, one of the teachers of computer science at Ohio Bell, asked me where I was staying. I told him at the YMCA. He told me that is not a good place to stay and he invited me to stay with him at his place. I accepted and he told me he would help me locate an apartment that would be nice in a good neighborhood but reasonably priced.
Jim was single and many of the ladies at work I found out later love him but Jim would not have anything to do with them. The reason being his parents got divorced when he was about ten years old and he did not like the experience.
Anyway Jim I suspected had money because he lived in a Billionaire’s row. His next door neighbor was the owner and founder of the Planter’s Peanuts. He introduced me to them and I got to meet and socialize with Billionaires. The old man told me his story starting from the time his father passed away and he had to work all sorts of odd jobs to help put food on the table for his family. From that humble beginning he later on got into business and then his last venture was to establish the Planters Peanuts. Wow basically the old man told his life story.
Their apartment was set up like a Hawaiian apartment. There was a bar, there was a lanai and there was a large wall with gold coins stucked on the wall. The old man told me if anyone got closed to the wall, the security alarm would ring at the Police Station and within minutes the Police would come. At that time I did not know that such security existed.
He told me he would disarm the security and I could touch and admire the gold coins. Well I did enjoy such a privilege opportunity. Hahaha
We did have tea. I had mine with ice.
After we got more acquainted I asked Jim why he was working at Ohio Bell with so much money. He told me he did not want to watch TV all day long. I found out later that there were a few wealthy people working for Ohio Bell not because they needed to but because they want to. Some even drove their Bentleys to work. During winter you can see ladies wearing their full length mink coat.
Jim was a great guy. He helped me locate the apartment and he helped me furnished it. We used his brand new Volvo to haul mirrors and furniture and toys. I suggested we have some covering on his leather seats and he told me why? So that the next owner would enjoy it? He said we will enjoy it like it is and if it gets some scratches that is fine. He did not really care because he bought a new car every year.
Our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH provides for HIS own and in this case in the person of Jim Pearson.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for nice people like Jim. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1968 - With the help of Jim Pearson, my co-employee at OBT, we settled in an apartment in Garfield Heights. We wanted to get a car so we could go shopping with the kids and may be do something fun on weekends.
We saw an ad where they would pick you up so you can see their selection of cars. I ignorantly took the offer. Sure enough they picked me up but they did not say they would bring me back. The dealership was located in one of those little communities outside Cleveland called Ashtabula. I looked at the selection of cars they were all out of our budget. But they were pressuring me to buy and I did not. They kept promising they would take me back to my home and it was almost five o’clock and I was getting nervous because it was getting dark and I do not have a way home. At the last minute they told me they could not take me back. May be this was their ploy to make me buy a car.
Wow, what a bomber. I went across the street and right at that moment came a Greyhound bus going to Cleveland. I was the only passenger in the bus. I told the driver where I wanted to go and he told me he would drop me at one of the Malls closest to my house. And he did and then I called my wife and she called our neighbor the wife of a Filipino doctor who worked in the neighboring hospital. She picked me up. This couple did not have children. The wife is white and the doctor is a Filipino and they lived in the same Apartment complex we did.
Wow, my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH provided what I needed without even asking because HE cares for HIS own and provides for HIS own. Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for YOUR provision and YOUR loving kindness. I LOVE YOU and I give YOU praise, glory and honor all the rest of my life. Thank YOU for the Greyhound Bus and our neighbor. Amein, Amein and Amein
1971 - One of my co-employees at OBT a former IBM employee, married but no children. She was pretty but not beautiful. She started flirting with me and Bob, an elderly gentleman and tall WASP told her in no uncertain terms “do not mess with Felix his wife will kill you.”
Apparently she got scared of my wife and she stopped flirting with me. Hahaha
1972 I just graduated my MBA from Cleveland State University and were ready to go back to the Philippines little did I know that Marcos was about to declare Martial law. My wife and I were getting ready to sell our house and go. But something within me was telling me not to go home to the Philippines. At first I thought some friends forewarned me but looking back in my memory bank no one told me not go home. It was just a feeling of uncertainty. My wife and I discussed our options.
It was during that time of uncertainty that we heard that Marcos was really planning to declare Martial Law. I was content working at OBT but my wife said for the sake of the children who were sickly during winter; we need to move to a warmer climate.
We packed our little Airstream Trailer which my wife bought and pulled it with our Oldsmobile Cutlass Wagon and went South. We figured that may be the easiest way was to get a transfer from OBT to Southern Bell. But which part of Southern Bell?
So we visited South Central Bell in Birmingham Alabama and Southern Bell in Atlanta Georgia. I received offers of employment to both companies but we could not decide which to accept.
I attended a church service in Hudson where we lived and asked the people for their recommendations. Unanimously they told me to accept the one in Atlanta, Georgia which was a more cosmopolitan city.
Our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH weaved all the different pieces together to get us moved to Atlanta Georgia which proved a very wise decision.
Thank you Rose, the church people and above all thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for YOUR Divine leadership, guidance and direction in our life in YOUR Son’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of YOUR Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Rose, my wife is one of the greatest blessings in my life that our FATHER gave me and my family.
1971 I read a lot about Australia and the opportunities abounded. Rose and I made up our minds we would immigrate to Australia.
We were rejected.
Looking back and what I have seen on movies about the life in Australia at that time period, it was a blessing that we were rejected.
We would have had a hard time surviving in the Wild West environment of Australia.
Children would have no playmates. Schools would be rural at that time.
Job for me was scarce.
I would not have been able to finish my MBA.
Rose would have been miserable because she would be isolated. Even though Rose is a private person she is also a social person.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH. YOU know everything. Praise, Honor and glory to YOU FATHER in YOUR Son’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 32
1972 Section 32. I nearly drown at the swimming pool at Arrowhead Campground in Atlanta Georgia. Before coming to the USA I took swimming lessons. For sure I could do all the different swimming strokes like free style, side stroke, breast stroke, back stroke, etc. So I jumped in to the pool and I landed at the bottom. I realized I could not float or thread water.
Thank YOU FATHER for sparing my life.
Thank YOU FATHER for the presence of mind YOU gave me. As I landed at the bottom I remember the advice of my co-employee at United Drug that in that situation go to the surface and go horizontal and start swimming to the edge of the pool which I did and I was alright.
Praise and honor and glory to my FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH.
1972 - It was a great blessing to move South even though my job at OBT was good and I was being groomed for upper management because:
The children were happier with more time to spend outside to play.
The children were healthier with less runny noses+.
The children were happier with more children around to play with. In our neighborhood in Ohio we did not have many children to play with except the Johnsons who rode their horses to our yard and gave my children free rides.
Rose was happier because the weather is more like the Philippines.
I was happier because Rose and the children were happier even though it was a challenge for me at work because I had to learn a new computer language called Sobel a computer language specifically designed for Southern Bell.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 33
1972 Section 33. Double pneumonia in Georgia. When we lived in Ohio for four and a half years, I really did not get sick seriously because in Ohio even though it gets very cold in Winter, like zero Fahrenheit, it went cold gradually. Not so in Georgia. In the morning it may be 30 degrees F and at lunch time it could be 55-60 degrees F. My poor body could not adjust that quickly in change in temperature and I got double pneumonia. Well, at first I thought it was just a sore throat. I consulted our Medical Clinic and they recommended an EENT clinic. They specialized in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.
They checked me out and they prescribed some medication which I took religiously. The doctor told me it was just sore throat. However, it became worst and worst that I could not breathe. I went back to the EENT people and they re-examined me and told me there was nothing wrong with me.
I told them I did not feel good and I could not breathe. I asked them to send me to an Internist. They sent me to an Internist which was probably ten blocks away. The Internist examined me thoroughly and got my family history. He took some X-rays.
Immediately, he called Georgia Baptist Hospital for me to be admitted immediately. The Internist told me I had double pneumonia.
WOW and the EENT doctors told me there was nothing wrong with me. Hahaha
What if I did not know enough to ask for an Internist? I would have died of that double pneumonia and the EENT doctors would blame it on sore throat. Hahaha.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that I asked for an Internist and the Internist was very good and was not influenced by the diagnosis of the EENT doctors. Otherwise I could have died of sore throat. Hahaha. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome for providing me with a very good Internist.
Thank YOU FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for providing YOUR Angel in the person of that German Internist who did a thorough examination and testing.
Praise, Honor, Glory and Adoration to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
Section 34
1972 Section 34. When we first moved to Powder Springs, Rhodel and Jocelyn started at Powder Springs Elementary. Somehow Rhodel would be late one day and could not take the bus going home and I had to pick him up at school.
I asked the teacher to please wait for me to pick up Rhodel. Well the teacher either forgot or did not care. So when I arrived at the school after work, I saw Rhodel already walking towards home. And that was dangerous being a little boy who is non-white walking on the main road.
It is a good thing I came just in time to intercept Rhodel.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for HIS protection. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1972 - We moved to Georgia and I started working for Southern Bell. One afternoon after work this Southern Belle co-employee of mine invited me to the Library, the local pub across the street from our building. I was told they named the pub “library” for good reason. When the wife looks for the husband and calls, the husband could honestly tell the wife that he was at the Library. Little did the wife know that the Library is a Pub. Hahaha
Anyway this pretty Southern Belle and I went to the Library. We drank beer and left and she wanted me to go home with her. She was single and had a home in Marietta. May be she was in heat and she really wanted to have sex with me but with five kids and a wife at home and above all I never had sex with anyone except with my wife because I fear and I love my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH and I do not want to sin against HIM. I refused and went home to my family.
Praise, honor and glory to my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for HIS love and protection for giving me strength to resist temptation to have extra marital relations.
1974 Jenn decided we would go fishing. It was time of year when the people did not really go fishing because the bait and tackle stores were still close. But that would not stop us. So we decided to dig dirt behind the house and get some worms for bait.
We brought the dirt in front of the Carport and shifted the dirt for worms. Here comes Rose my wife and said that one is not a worm. That is a snake. Rose is one of those ladies who never touch dirt in her life and never cook and never knew how to cook. All she did was study. Her first college degree was Accounting and she was working on her Juris Doctor degree when we got married.
And I grew up in a farm and I did not see the difference between the worm and the snake.
The miracle here is that Rose recognized the snake and when she said that I wore my leather gloves and killed the snake. It was a small snake but years later I was told by someone that small snakes are more dangerous because as the song says, “I will give you everything”. Well small snakes will give you all the venom they have.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for providing YOUR Angel in the person of Rose otherwise I could have been bitten by the little snake.
Section 35
1974 Section 35. My family and I like to go to the beach on weekends. It was a beautiful Saturday and my wife and the children packed our green conversion van for the beach.
We parked and we enjoyed the beach. When we came back to the van, I smelled gasoline. I looked under the van and someone cut the gas line. It was good no one threw a cigarette butt otherwise it would have cause an explosion and our van and a few other cars would have been demolished. Because we were parked in a parking lot with cars around.
I tried to use duct tape to fix it but it would not hold. So I loaded the family and we gingerly went towards home. On the way I spotted a gasoline station with an auto shop. I stopped and talked to the mechanic and told him what the problem was. He looked at it and within minutes he fixed it. After that it never leaked gasoline anymore. I asked him how much did I owe him and he just smiled and said nothing. I thanked him and we went our way. The drive to beach was good one and a half hour.
You always hear people say that you cannot trust mechanics. People say they are scammers. Well, there are some good ones out there when our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH provides them to you.
Thank YOU for YOUR angel in the person of this nice old man at the gas station who fixed our van’s gas line free of charge.
Thank you, FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH that no one threw a cigarette but at the leaking gas.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 35 A
1974 Section 35 A. - My wife, Rose learned to drive and she was going to take us around town. Rose was driving and Jenn and I were the passengers. We were going out of our street and the car went to the ditch as Rose was turning to go Right On Main Street.
No one was hurt and as soon as we were in the ditch a big red truck stopped and pulled out a chain and hooked up my wife’s car and got it out of the ditch. And that quick he left and we were not even able to say thank you.
And here comes the Police and asked if anyone got hurt. Thank our FATHER no one got hurt and we believed that the driver of the red truck was an Angel sent by our FATHER. He came so quickly at the moment of need and disappeared like the old man on a carabao who rescued me from being trampled by my father’s horse.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for providing YOUR Angel in the person of that Driver of the big red truck who came at the right time and wasted no time to pull us out of the ditch. It could have not been planned any better. WOW
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing that mysterious man with a red truck with a long chain to pull our car out of the ditch. He left so quickly and we were not even able to say thank you to him. Thank YOU FATHER for providing that man to help us and for protecting and caring for YOUR own because no one in the car got hurt. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 36
1974 Section 36. Jo was going to be ambushed by Keith (or Kevin, I do not remember) and Bubba Roberts. One afternoon after work, I saw Keith and Bubba ready to ambush Jo. I told them that Jo was taking Karate and she could kill them with one blow. They got scared and they ran.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that I was just in time before the boys attacked Jo Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 37
1975 Section 37. Jo was blocked by a big black boy at the classroom. When Jo was in Middle School, she was late going out of the class room and a big black boy blocked the door. Jo gave him a front kick and left him in pain. After that no one bothered her any more.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that Rose enrolled everyone in Karate and learned how to defend themselves. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome for providing us Rose, YOUR Angel.
Section 38
1975 Section 38. I used to ride in a van pool which started at the Methodist Church in Lithia Springs. We parked our cars there and the Van picked us up. One afternoon one lady told me her husband would pick her up but he would be a little late because he was coming from a school in Douglasville. She asked me if I would mind waiting with her for her husband. As a nice guy, I did not want to leave there by herself. So I agreed. When the husband came with the car, the lady hugged me and the husband did not stop. Then she asked me to take her home. I had to now since she did not have a ride home and there is no taxi service in Lithia Springs. Her home was not far may be three miles from where we were. When we arrive at her house her husband’s car was not there and she asked me to come in. I declined and told her my wife would be worried if I were late. Thinking back I put myself in danger unnecessarily. The husband could have shot me out of jealousy when she hugged me at the parking lot.
Sometimes you are trying to do good without thinking you are endangering your life.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 39
1976 Section 39. Custom Van was stolen on the parking lot of Marta Station at Hightower in Atlanta. Being active in the Civic life of Atlanta, I used all my connections to find our van. They found it in a junkyard being stripped. I rescued it and paid the storage fees.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 40
1976 Section 40. One of the ladies who rode with us in the Van Pool lived in the next subdivision to us. One morning she called and told me her car won’t start and would I mind picking her up? It was on the way so I said not all. I picked her up and took her to the meeting place at the Lithia Springs Methodist Church parking lot. A few minutes after we parked here came a big truck that parked right beside our blue light special. Of course we were not even talking. She was at the passenger side of the front seat and I was at the driver seat. After a few minutes observing us, he left. I asked her who was that? And she told me that was her husband.
Apparently he was suspecting her to having an affair that was why he did not allow her to drive that morning. Wow. These married women could be dangerous. So think very well when trying to help a married woman or I guess any woman because they could be dangerous or put you in danger. Hahaha
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and protecting HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1977- 1996 It was by grace and blessing of our FATHER that HE gave me strength to resist temptations because many girls were after me for sex. I do not know why and how but they liked me.
But my fear and love of my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH forbade me from indulging in extra marital sex.
Thank YOU, FATHER for keeping me clean. In the end the only person I had sex with was my wife Rosalinda. Amein, Amein and Amein
Section 40 A
1980 Section 40A. Testimony – We had carport attached to the house with one side open. A beehive developed on the ceiling of the carport adjacent to the kitchen towards the front of the carport.
I had a bright idea. I was going to get a plastic bag and wrap the beehive with it and peel off the beehive from the ceiling of the carport. I would do it at night so the bees would be disoriented I thought.
Well the night came and I got my step ladder to reach the beehive. Our house was on a little hill on one side, the side of the carport. I was able to wrap the beehive with the plastic bag.
However, when I was trying to peel off the beehive from the ceiling of the carport, one or two of the bees got away and tried to attack my face and I lost balance and fell from the step ladder.
The total height I fell was about twelve feet. I felt like I landed on a cushion of cotton which was very soft. Now I recall the passage in the Holy Scriptures that said my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH will send HIS Angels to rescue me in case I dashed my foot upon a stone.
WOW Thank YOU FATHER for sending YOUR Angels to catch me. Praise to my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of HIS Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh, I did not get hurt.
My FATHER is the most awesome; would you like HIM to be your FATHER too? It is easy and simple. Please check my posts on Facebook.
Section 40B
1981-83. Section 40B. When the INC (Iglesia Ni Cristo) started a locale in Georgia, I was the one who located places to be used as House of Worship. With Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings because of our involvement in the community and in the metro Atlanta area, we as a family were well-known to Movers and Shakers in the metro Atlanta Area. My wife, our children knew them and the Movers and Shakers knew my family.
The first one I located was closest to home. The City Hall of Powder Springs. I talked to mayor John Rogers if we could use the Courtroom for Worship Service on Saturdays. He said you can and gave me the keys to the Courtroom.
Then in order to save time for the brethren who came from South Carolina, I found a Courthouse which was about twenty miles closer to the brethren. I talked to the Mayor to get permission to use the Courthouse as a House of Worship on Saturdays. He gave me permission and gave me the keys.
However, the Courtroom is located on the Second Floor of the building. And there was a ramp from the First floor to the Second floor. There was a handrail but only for adults and not for children. I saw a little girl wobbling going down the ramp and I caught her. And gave her to the mother.
It was a miracle that I happened to see her otherwise she could have fallen from a good ten foot fall to concrete pavement below.
Praise Supreme King YAHUAH for saving the little girl from serious accident.
I told the Minister what happened and I told him I will look for another place which is safer for the kids.
I found A Bank with a large Meeting Room on the First Floor. I talked to the owner of the Bank and told him I needed the Meeting Room on Saturdays for Worship Service. He did not ask what denomination it was or what church it was. He just gave me the permission and told me the Bank’s hours on Saturdays. He said you are free to use it as long as you want. The Bank closes at 5 PM, he told me. I thank him and I thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for working in the hearts of these people to allow their Courtrooms, the Meeting Rooms to be used by us for Worship Service.
One Saturday, a little girl was wondering on the pavement where vehicles were going through and Ed (Redante) saw her and grabbed her out of the way because a car went out of control. The old lady driving the car instead of pressing the brake pedal she pressed the accelerator pedal. Wow that was a close call.
Sometime these ladies get so busy chatting with each other and they forget their little ones where they were. Thank and Praise and Glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that Ed was able to grab the little girl out of the oncoming vehicle.
Another Saturday a lady with her monthly period, flushed her Sanitary napkin in to the toilet and it clogged the toilet and water overflowed all over the floor of the Meeting Room.
It took them the whole afternoon cleaning it up and disinfecting it. After that I told them to get a hotel conference room and pay for it.
One miracle that one may miss is the fact that these people allowed us to use their facilities even though people in general do not approved of this because of the separation of Church and State. Praise Supreme King YAHUAH by the power of the Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in Supreme Prince Yahusha’s name these people bent the rules to allow us to use their facilities..
19?? - We were involved in scouting. Our three sons were boy scouts and it was a weekend. The scouts and their families were having dinner at the church grounds between Marietta and Powder Springs.
Jo drove her Mustang because she also had a dinner with her class in one her teacher’s home. She left and had an accident as she was turning left to go to the house of her teacher. A station wagon hit her car. The station wagon was full of kids and their parents and did not have insurance.
It was a blessing that Jo’s car was hit on the right side away from Jo and Jo was not hurt but was scared and could not stop crying. I assured her her car would be fixed as it was before.
Jo loved that car. The guy we bought it from even tailored the car to our home in Powder Springs because that car ranked fourth in a National Car Show and that was why the person who sold it to us was very careful who bought it and wanted to make sure it would be taken care of.
Well, with our FATHER’s blessing we found the right shop who could fix it right. After months of waiting, Jo’s car was fixed.
Just a side note here. My parents did not approve of anyone leaving the dinner table and going somewhere. They have to wait until dinner is over and they could leave. But these young people have their own minds and sometimes they suffer for it.
Thank YOU FATHER that Jo was not hurt. And her car was fixed right.
Section 41
1981 JO SECOND YEAR IN COLLEGE. Section 41. Testimony – Poison something on my arm
Section 41. That morning we woke up very early to load the little Nova and the trailer with merchandise we were going to sell at the market place. My wife heard about this market in north Georgia that was supposed to be good. It was about a little more than an hour by car from where we lived. It was about 7:30 in the morning and the sun was brightly shining. There were three of us in the front seat because the rest of the car was full of merchandise. My oldest daughter who was attending a private college in North Georgia was sitting beside me and my wife was on the other side of my daughter.
My daughter noticed something developing on my right arm. It was like something from poison oak. It was about three inches long but was spreading quickly and she was alarmed and told me. Believe it or not I did not even feel anything so I looked at it and told her not to worry. At that time my wife was asleep. I told her to hold the steering wheel and I put my left hand over it and prayed. Instantly it disappeared.
Wow, the power of our ELOHIM, Supreme King YAHUAH is amazing. HE is an awesome ELOHIM. All my daughter could say was WOW. I told her if that happened to her she could do the same thing.
Praise and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 42
1983 Section 42. How my oldest Son got into the Medical School after Annapolis. Rhodel always wanted to go to Medical School that was why he was not convince at first to go to Annapolis. Before he even entered USNA, I talked to the Superintendent about Rhodel’s desire to go to Medical School. The Sup told me he will try his best to do that but he cannot promise.
Well, Rhodel got into Medical School and then was sent to Anesthesiology School.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for paving the way for Rhodel to attend Medical School. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
1983 ? - Ods, Ed and Rock were in Scout and they went to Philmont, New Mexico. One of the parents of the Scouts loan them their bus conversion motor home. The motor home ran fine but when they reached the mountains, the poor motor home could not negotiate those mountains and so the Scout Leaders decided to unload some of the unnecessary load like spare tires, etc. Hahaha
That solved the problem of weight. However, on their way back home to Powder Springs the motor home had a flat tire. They were stranded in the middle of nowhere with no money to buy a new tire and have it mounted.
Two truck drivers stopped and helped them. One truck driver went to get the exact replacement tire and had it mounted on the steel wheels and the other stayed with the bus to keep the boys and the bus safe from would be robbers or bad people.
After a few hours, the other truck driver came back with the tire and they mounted it on to the motor home.
Since they did not have any money for the tire the Scout Leaders promised to pay them back by mail.
The truck drivers refused and told them it was on them and just wished them a safe trip home.
Wow, Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for your provisions. YOU are the most awesome ELOHIM in the whole Universe. Amein, Amein and Amein.
1983 - ? The Boy Scouts and the leaders were on a hike in North Georgia. Rock and Jeff Lee were buddies and they were walking together. They got tired and Rock was about to sit on the ground and somehow our FATHER told him not to sit there and he moved a little bit and Jeff Lee sat beside him where he was about to sit down. Jeff was attacked by a swarmed of bees and started running. They brought him first to a lake to cool him down and get the bees out and they rushed him to the hospital.
Wow it was only a difference of may be one foot and Rock was saved from the bees attack.
Thank YOU FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for YOUR protection.
When the three scouts (Ods, Ed and Rock ) went to Philmont, New Mexico, Rock experienced a life threatening experience. They were hiking and it was a hot day and suddenly it became cold and Rock chilled. They had to stop hiking and Ods built a fire, Ed took off his clothes and cuddled up with Rock to give him warmth to avoid hypothermia.
With our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings Rock did not catch hypothermia.
Praise, glory and honor to our FATHER for HIS loving kindness, protection and care.
Section 43
1985 Section 43 One perfect weekend my wife decided we were going to ride the rough in North Georgia. Our youngest daughter was with us. The four older children were in college. Three boys were attending the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland and oldest girl was attending Berry College a private college in North Georgia.
Section 44
1988 Section 44. You probably have seen shows of those adventurous souls who ride the rough with those rubber pontoon boats with a dozen people in them with oars.
Well the North Georgia rapids are not as big and not as rough. Of course considering I did not know how to swim and my wife did not know how to swim the rough was rough enough for us. And instead of pontoon boats we had to ride an inner tube of a car or a truck tire.
You put yourself inside the tube so there is no protection from wild life like snakes. Also, anything you drop along the route, you lost. So people were advised to remove their jewelry and leave them inside their cars. We did but of course we did not leave our car keys. I was the keeper of the car keys.
Along the route my wife’s inner tube got caught under a large tree with roots extending out and under the rough. I had to maneuver my inner tube towards her. Of course that was a challenge because the rapid was not going to wait for me. Hahaha. I finally got to her and then tried to unstuck her. The people in the restaurant overlooking the rapid were laughing at us. Of course it was not a laughing matter because I was afraid a snake would either come along or come out of the trunk of the large tree.
Anyway after a few minutes which seemed like forever, I was able to un-stuck my wife. We got through with the ordeal. We thought. We reached the end of the line and we disembarked from our inner tubes.
I reached for the keys of the car and they were not in my pocket. I figured somehow we would go home, I could hot-wire the car which was a two door Eldorado Cadillac.
We reached the parking lot. They provided a shuttle from the end of the line to the parking lot. I looked at the car and I figured to hot wire the car I had to break the glass window and tear out the dash board to reach the wires. I did not realize newer cars are hard to hot wire and yet you see those videos on the news that the bad guys can steal a car within seconds.
I told my wife and daughter to wait for me I would ride back the shuttle to the end of the line. I got back at the end of the line and stood there with no one but myself and prayed.
Lo and behold when I opened my eyes the keys were shining at about less than three feet of water and I thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH and got the keys and rode back the shuttle to the parking lot.
I unlocked the car and we got in and together we prayed. My wife promised not to ride the rough again. I teased her and told her, let us try the one in Colorado. That is easier because we would be in a rubber boat with twelve other people and a Guide or Captain. She said No Way. She told us that while stuck under the tree, she promised our FATHER that if she got out alive from that situation of being stuck under the tree, she would never go rough riding again. Hahaha
Thanks, praise, honor and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for helping us and protecting us from the wild life.
1989 - It was Ed’s graduation at USNA and funny Lola came from New Jersey and arrived in Baltimore, Maryland. She didn’t have an idea how to get to USNA. She saw a navy bus and she got in and told the driver she wanted to go USNA because her grandson Redante Dacanay is graduating.
Well believe it or not the US Navy bus took her to the gate of USNA.
There she told the guard that she was there to attend the graduation of her grandson, Redante Dacanay. Redante was well known on Campus because he was a Company Commander.
They set a place for her to sleep at Bancroft Hall. Hahaha
She was all set for the night and she found the telephone number she was supposed to call to be picked up. She called and Jenn answered the call and we picked her up from the USNA.
Thank you FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for helping and keeping funny Lola safe on her journey from New Jersey to Annapolis.
Section 44A
1986 Section 44A. We had a Firebird and we received a notice that there was safety issue and the car needs to be brought to the Car Dealership. Jo and I brought the car to the dealer in Douglasville. I drove to work and left Jo and she waited almost the whole day for the car to be fixed. Well finally the car was done and Rhodel drove it to Annapolis, Maryland the following day to continue his study and training. On the way I think he was in the Carolinas, something blew up in the engine compartment and fluid spew out everywhere. He stopped the car and someone was nice to help him to bring the car to the next gas station. The mechanic diagnosed the problem. The Dealer instead of fixing the problem which they were supposed to fix made it worst. They took the gas line where the gas fume was going through and routed it to the coolant overflow container!. In my opinion they should have routed it back to the carburetor or to the gas tank to save fuel. But they did not. The car was fixed and Rhodel drove it to Annapolis.
I wrote GM about this and the Car Dealer was shut down immediately.
Another miracle here was Rhodel was not hurt.
Another miracle was that the mechanic did not accept payment from me because I was willing to pay him and he told me it was not much to fix it.
Thank, praise, glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that Rhodel was not hurt and the car was fixed that Rhodel could continue to drive it to Annapolis, Maryland. Thank YOU FATHER for YOUR Angels in the persons of the mechanic and the person who helped Rhodel bring the car to the mechanic. Our FATHER is the most awesome ELOHIM.
Section 45
1988 Section 45. I was supposed to pick up Jennifer at EPA for her doctor’s appointment at 1 PM. However, our little blue light special was having a hard time to start so I was a few minutes late. Jenn started walking towards SBC. But the questions are does she know where at SBC to find me? Does she know that I was already at the parking lot? Does she know that she was putting herself in danger walking in the middle of the day in a deserted street? Could she defend herself if a car stopped and grabbed her? I finally got the car started and I sped towards EPA and I saw Jenn walking on a deserted street. I got nervous because I did not expect her to do that. If you are told to wait at a certain place, wait there. Do not go anywhere else unless you tell the person you are going to meet you changed the meeting place. It is easier to do now because of the cell phone. During that time there was no cell phone.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that the car started when it did. Otherwise there is no telling where Jenn could be. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome. HE is the greatest Miracle Maker from everlasting to everlasting.
Section 47
1989 Section 47. Testimony – Wife Paralyzed
One Friday afternoon I came from work and I did not see my wife at the kitchen. Normally she waited for me by the window of the kitchen which was facing our driveway. That was also her vantage view when our children were young she could do her work in the kitchen and at the same time watch the children at play.
I looked everywhere and found her lying on our water bed in the great room downstairs. She was crying. I asked her what happened. She told me she was paralyzed and could not get up. I reassured her not to worry. I anointed her with oil and at that time the only oil we had in the house was baby oil. I anointed her whole body and we prayed as instructed in the Holy Scriptures. I hugged her and kissed her and told her not to worry, she would be fine.
Praise and glory to our FATHER Supreme King YAHU YAHUAH through HIS Son Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh. The following morning she went to the Flea Market which was her favorite past time. Our FATHER is the greatest and most awesome ELOHIM.
Section 48
1991 Section 48. My wife and I were carrying some stuff from Georgia to our son in Pensacola who was at that time a Pilot for the US Navy in Pensacola. On the highway, the car developed a radiator problem. It was my wife and I in the car and I told her we would need to exit and look for a mechanic.
We found a gasoline station with a shop. It was operated by two old country boys. I told them what was happening and where we were headed to.
With no fanfare they fixed it and they did not charge me for anything.
Thank you FATHER for providing these two old men in a mechanic’s shop along the highway to fix our car. I know YOU planned everything. The radiator became bad at the precise place where there are men who could fix it. WOW, FATHER, YOU are the most awesome ELOHIM.
Section 49
1991 Section 49. Wife’s High Blood Pressure
Praise our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that my wife did not have to work outside the home while the children were young until they finished high school. True we could have had better cars, but we had to make a choice: more luxuries in life or my wife stayed at home with the children? We chose the latter.
After our youngest graduated high school my wife was bored staying at home so she applied at the Cobb County Tag Office. She was hired and she was told to start the following day. However, she told the Big Boss that she would not start working until a traffic light was installed at the entrance of the Tag Office. The entrance of the Tag of Office was on a main road. The Big Boss told her it could be weeks before that could be done. Well after three days, the Big Boss called her and told her the Traffic Light is installed as she wished and she could start work anytime she wanted to.
My wife was a highly educated lady. She majored in accounting and needed some units to complete her law degree. But she gave up all that to raise our five children. She told me that if she did not get married, she would have pursued a judgeship position.
Well she started working, making friends at the office which she enjoyed after being a stay home mom for so long.
One evening after work I came home and she was on the bed and crying. I asked her what was the matter. She told me the Red Cross people came to their office and checked everyone’s blood pressure. She was told she was a walking time bomb and told her to go her family physician and have it checked again to make sure. She drove to our family doctor and they checked her again. Sure enough her blood pressure was too high. The doctor gave her a prescription but she did not buy it until she talked to me.
I reassured her not to worry.
I anointed her whole body with baby oil. And we prayed as instructed in the Holy Scriptures. I went out to get some food for supper since she was not able to fix anything. We ate and went to bed. I told her to go back to the doctor the following day and have her blood pressure checked again.
Following day I went to work and she went to the doctor. The doctor could not believe it. Her blood pressure was normal. She went to work. From that day until she left this physical world in 2011, her blood pressure has always been normal.
Praise and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh. Our FATHER is an awesome ELOHIM. YOU can and do miracles through YOUR children and I return all the praise, glory and honor to YOU, FATHER. YOU created, YOU own our bodies and if anything at all is not right YOU can fix it. Amein, Amein and Amein.
Praise, Honor and Glory to YOU, FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH through YOUR Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 50
1994 Section 50. Testimony – Strong Wind in Ga.
We were in Georgia and the wind was so strong that my wife got scared and woke me up. So I rebuked the storm. In the morning, I inspected the damage. Two large trees fell missing our house. The trees had about one and a half feet diameter at the trunk and about forty five to fifty feet tall. They were Pine trees. I spent the next two to three days cutting them up in two feet sections so I could move them. Supreme King YAHUAH is awesome. He spared our house from damage and possibly our lives.
Praise be to our Father Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that HE listens and hears the cry of HIS children.
1996? - I was preparing to go to Hawaii for the trial of GBC vs. Marcos Et.al. To look good my wife bought me a brand new pair of glasses. I was trying to get accustomed with the pair of glasses and I was wearing them going down the steps at Moorings Drive Townhouse. Somehow the eye glasses gave me the wrong vision and I fell off the steps and thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH I did not get hurt.
1997-2010 With my wife insisting that I get a concubine, querida or second wife because she kept telling me she was too old for sex and romance.
With that frame of mind, I met several women who were willing but in the end my fear and my love for my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH, always prevailed and I always backed out at the last moment of truth. Hahaha
A girl at UPS store
A girl at Wal-Mart
A girl at Wal-Mart parking lot
A woman at the gas station at the boundary of Florida and Georgia. We were there because Rose wanted to buy Lotto tickets. I filled up the Holiday Rambler motor home with diesel and parked it in the shade. I went inside to buy the tickets and on the way out a beautiful girl of about thirty was about to open the door of her car which happened to be a brand new looking Corniche, a Rolls Royce two door convertible. The top was down. The woman was well made, beautiful and desirable. She was dressed conservatively. I told her what a beautiful woman with a beautiful car. She smiled and said get in I will take you for a ride. I almost did but I politely said not this time because my wife and daughter are in the motor home waiting for me. Thank YOU FATHER, for controlling my emotions and my fleshly desire and YOU protected me from sin.
Etc.
Additional miracles note Kyra was born June 7, 1998
1998-99 Kyra was a baby and Jo was washing her hair in their bathroom in their apartment in North Georgia. Kyra happened to bump a bottle of alcohol and the alcohol spilled on her face and Jo shouted and I came and held Kyra and wipe her face and prayed to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH and she was alright.
Thank YOU FATHER for your Divine Protection .
1998-99 Kyra was a baby and we were closed to Groveland, Florida and we stopped at McDonalds because Kyra liked to play in the McDonald’s play ground..
I was holding Kyra and I tripped over the car stopped made of concrete which they used to make sure the cars do no hit the building.
I was falling and I held Kyra tight so in case I hit the pavement she would be protected. An Angel of our ELOHIM Supreme King YAHUAH stopped my fall and I did not hit the pavement.
WOW. Thank YOU FATHER that YOU are true to YOUR promise that YOU will send YOUR Angels.
For HE will command HIS Angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12
2000-2001 Kyra was about 2-3 years old and they were visiting her cousin in Buchanan. She and her cousin about her age were playing on the trampoline and were having fun and then suddenly Eddy jumped on the trampoline and Kyra was thrown up high and was hurt. I hugged Kyra and prayed and she was alright.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for hearing YOUR servant’s prayers.
2000-2001 Kyra was about 2-3 years old and Jo brought her to an indoor amusement park for little children. This indoor park was closed to Orlando and Jenn and I was with Jo and Kyra. I believe Eddy was also with us and Gigi Dacanay and some other friends of Gigi.
They got to talking and they did not realize that Kyra went on her own and got inside one of those tubes . It was awhile before I asked them where is Kyra and they did not know so I started searching for little Kyra. Kyra was brave she was not crying but she was lost. One of the Attendants a young man was holding her and I came and took her and thank the young boy for holding on to Kyra because someone could have just walked out with her and no one would notice and Kyra won’t know the difference and she would not cry.
Thank YOU, FATHER for YOUR Divine provision and protection for providing that young boy to hold on to Kyra until I came.
Praise, Honor and Glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in our Savior’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha.
1998-2000 Mr. Kirill asked me to clean the drainage from his yard to the Doctor’s Lake.
I did and a big snake about 3-3 ½ “ in diameter came out with many little snakes with it.
Wow, Praise, Glory and Honor to my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH those snakes came out in the night and not when I was cleaning the drainage.
After cleaning the drainage, the whole front yard and the back yard flooded because their property is right around sea level.
I was walking behind my apartment and I saw a big snake coiled and sun bathing in front of the riding lawn mower.
My idea was to start the mower and run over the snake. As I revved the mower the snake leaped towards the bushes a good 20-25 feet.
From then on I avoided walking on the yard. I tried to ride the lawn mower everywhere. But there were times I was in a hurry and walked any way.
In one of those instances, I was walking from the house to the shed where we kept the lawn mower and I almost stepped on a snake that was also walking.
Praise my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH I did not stepped on the snake.
One rainy day, I opened the door of my apartment and a snake was there waiting to get it.
I slammed the door and went out the front door of the main house.
I later saw a similar snake at the back of the work shop and I killed it.
Thank YOU, FATHER for sparing my life.
1988 - When Rose, my wife started working she worked with some pretty nice young girls and they were very fond of hugging me when they saw me. It was a blessing that my faith in my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH was strong and firm that I would not want to sin against my FATHER otherwise I would have indulged in sex with those pretty young things.
Section 51
May 2008 Section 51. Testimony- Shark
We were visiting Navar Beach in Florida and it was a very nice sunny day. We were at the beach and I was in about three-four feet deep of water. I do not go deeper because I am afraid of the deep because I do not swim very well. I was enjoying the warm water when I looked down. Believe it or not it was a large shark white in color. Some people will say that is a great white and it should not be in Florida waters. Well who tells the sharks where to go? They go wherever they want to go. I did not move a muscle hoping and praying it will go away. I looked up to the sky to see if may be what I was seeing was a reflection of the clouds above. It was not. There was no cloud in the sky. I looked down and the shark was still there just swimming around my legs. After a few seconds which seemed forever to me it moved away and then I signaled my wife and my daughter to get out of the water. I did not shout when I saw the shark because it might spook the shark and bite me. You always see in movies that the shark’s fins are visible as they approach the shore. Well apparently that is not true all the time. Sharks are smart too. Hahaha
Years later we met Mattie and her grandfather and her parents at the Mikcler Beach. I asked Mattie about my encounter with the white shark. She asked me what month it was. I told her it was May.
She told me it was a great white shark because they come to Florida from March to May.
Mattie should know she is semi-professional surfer.
Praise and glory and thanks to my Father Supreme King YAHUAH I was spared from being bit by the shark.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for sparing me.
Section 52
2009 Section 52. 2007-2008 I went on a trip to Georgia and stopped by Perry, Georgia.
While parked at the Wal-Mart parking lot praying, an old man approached me and wanted to trade his 30 foot motorhome with my van plus US $7,000.00. I thought it was a pretty good deal so I accepted the offer.
In the morning, I went to the bank and tried to cash the check and the account has been closed for several years. I walked
Article 8
Section 1. MIRACLES DONE IN THE LIFE OF THE ROYAL SERVANT OF SUPREME KING YAHUAH AND HIS FAMILY.
As you read these Miracles in my life, you could say that my life is one miracle to another miracle. In fact my whole life is a miracle. And I give Praise, Glory and Honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH by the power of HIS Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in HIS Son’s name our Savior’s name Supreme Prince Yahusha.
I will try to arrange them by year.
1940 – PRESENT - It is an honor to be a son of Marcela Mata Gulapa Dacanay, my Mom.
Not having much formal education, I believe she had a second grade education; she did very well with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings, guidance and direction.
She became a merchant. She started selling chicken and produce in Angeles City after War II.
She bought and sold anything from rice, fish, corn and other commodities.
She became a small banker for the farmers. The farmers would borrow money from her and promised to pay her in rice (palay) to be delivered to her warehouse at the Rice Mill. This was with no written contracts. Just a piece of paper showing how much the farmer received in money and how many bags of rice he would pay back to be delivered to the Rice Mill. The farmers preferred to deal with her rather than the banks because the farmers did not speak English and did not know how to read those lengthy contracts and they did not have to put up collateral. It was an honor system and as far as I know all the farmers paid. She did not have any bad debts and she did not have a strong arm collector. Hahaha
She would buy by auction forty foot bancas full of fish in the early dawn and by 2 PM all would be sold to other merchants and she made her money without even having to log fish out of there.
She would buy whole grove of mangoes when the mangoes were just flowers. She would pay the owners ahead and the risk she was taking was if there was any typhoon, the flowers would be gone and there would be no mangoes to harvest. But with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings, she always made money. The typhoon never hit her mango groves.
She would buy large fish ponds having thousands of small fishes about an inch in length. She would pay in advance. The risk here was if there was a flood all the little fishes would swim away and no fish to harvest. But that never happened with our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings. She always had fish to harvest. Wow what a great blessings from our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
During WW II my Mom defended my Dad who was sentenced to die by firing squad in the Supreme Court and Won! Please see the Miracles for details.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Dad was a farmer. He had to give that up because of the Huks. In Arayat, he worked as a Carpenter in Manila. He stayed in Manila biweekly. He left Sunday afternoon for Manila and would not come home until after two weeks. My Mom did not like that arrangement so they bought a horse and large buggy to haul people and merchandise around town and to neighboring little barrios.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Mom sold chicken and produce in Angeles City. When we moved to the town of Arayat, my Mom bought and sold rice, corn and fish. She also became a small Banker. The farmers would borrow money from her with a promissory note they would pay after harvest season. There was no formal written document, It was a hand shake and a little piece of paper showing how much was borrowed and how many cavans of rice would be delivered to the rice mill where my Mom kept her rice. She did not transport any rice. The farmer would deliver the rice to the Rice mill and they will get receipt and they would give that to my Mom. What a smart woman.
When we moved to San Fernando, she continued that banking business and she branched out to mangoes. She would buy the whole plantation of mangoes when the mangoes were just flowers. The risk was that if there was a storm, the flowers would be wipe out and there would be no mangoes to harvest. But she was blessed by our FATHER. She never experienced of not having mangoes.
She would pay in advance when the mangoes were just lowers and the owner of the Plantation grove would deliver the mangoes to my Mom’s warehouse.
She also branched out into fish ponds. She would buy the fish when they were about an inch long and the risk was if there was a flood the little fishes would be gone. But again our FATHER protected her investments and she always made money.
Our FATHER is awesome. He always takes care of HIS own. HE loves HIS own and protects their investments.
Thank YOU, FATHER for YOUR loving kindness.
My Mom was a good business woman but she is also kind- hearted. She had an open hand for those who need help.
One time one of my cousins went to Mang Doman, the Head Deacon of the INC in San Fernando. He also operated a fairly large store in the market. My cousin was asking to buy on credit one half of gallon of rice to be paid by the weekend because that would be his pay day. Mang Doman told my cousin he did not sell on credit.
My cousin went to my Mom who was in the same Market and told her what happened. My Mom went to Mang Doman with my cousin. My Mom in soft voice asked Mang Doman if he would want to buy rice and it was deposited at the Rice Mill where my Mom deposits her rice. My Mom said I have several hundreds of cavans of rice there and showed him the receipts. I would give it to you at a lower price than the prevailing market price.
Mang Doman was embarrassed because he could not afford to buy the rice. And here is the Head Deacon of INC and would not even help his brethren with two quarts of rice.
My mom bought what my cousin needed and all was well.
All their children graduated college except the oldest because she did not like school. She did take Dress Making and she graduated with flying colors. After she graduated she started making our clothes, shirts and dresses for the girls.
For a person without any formal education to speak of, my Mom did exceptionally well with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s leadership, guidance and direction. Wow what a TEAM.
5-4-1964 – 5- 25-2011 It was a great blessing to marry Rosalinda (Rose) Gamboa because:
She saw things I did not see and helped me and the family. For example she saw the political and civic situation in the Deep South when we moved from Ohio to Georgia and she positioned me and my family to not only to survive but to prevail in the Deep South with our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s leadership, guidance and direction.
Our children excelled in school.
Our oldest girl was Editor of their school paper at McEachern High School.,
Our oldest son was President of the Student Council at McEachern High School.
Our Second and Third sons were Vice Presidents of the Student Councils respectively.
Our oldest son was Commander of the local ROTC.
Our three sons became Eagle Scouts and they were all nominated and accepted at the US Naval Academy. They graduated at USNA in 1988, 89 and 90.
I became Member of the Advisory Board of Mc Eachern High School and Tapp Middle School.
I was distinguished President of Kiwanis,
I was a Member of the Advisory Board of the Salvation Army ARC in Atlanta, Georgia.
I was a member of the Atlanta Clean City Commission.
I was an Eagle Board Reviewer in Cobb County.
I was Public Relations Chairman of 27 Kiwanis Clubs in the Metro Atlanta Area from the poorest club to the wealthiest club whose members were multi billionaires... Only by the grace and blessings of our FATHHER can this happen to a poor barefoot newspaper boy. You cannot pay enough money to wine and dine with these people and I did without paying a dime because they paid my tab.
Rose and I were co-founders of the C.O.P.S. for Youth, an organization to help parents and children avoid the pitfalls of drugs. This was done in coordination with the Sheriff, the Police, the Churches in the area and the schools. In conjunction with this we built the first BMX Bicycle Track in Georgia. We invited BMX racers from Tennessee and neighboring states and they came and in return we went to their races. We helped everyone who wanted to race. Some African American kids who wanted to race but did not have bikes, we gave them bikes to race.
My family and I received the only Certificate ever given by CNN as the Super Citizen Award for our involvement, leadership in the Metro Atlanta Area, a Great Metropolis. Thank YOU FATHER., thank you CNN.
Rose, having grown up with not only silver spoon but with gold spoon in her mouth, she was adaptable to every situation. She was at home in whatever situation we may be in. She never complained. Wow what a woman. In the Philippines, she had a Nanny for each of our child and when we came to the US she had to take care of all of our children by herself with no complaint.
Not knowing how to drive and not having a car to drive, she did very well. When we were in Hudson, Ohio, she bought and sold things through the radio like riding lawn mowers, lumber, etc. One time my car pool dropped me off and there was a pony tied to one of our trees. My friends asked me was that pony yours? I do not know I said. May be my wife bought it. Sure enough she bought it from a farmer and he delivered it to her. The pony was for our children to ride and play with. Hahaha
One time we (I rode in a carpool with co-employees from Hudson) were on our way to work and I was half asleep and my friends woke me up and said, did you hear that? I said, what? They told me the radio station just gave thanks to my wife for suggesting a swap and shop on the radio and their listeners increased tremendously and they were going to have a show in one of the schools this coming weekend and they were inviting people to bring their merchandise to sell and they were inviting the public to come and it is free of charge and there would be free drinks and cookies. Wow for a woman who do not leave the house she could do a lot. We did go to this show and it was full. The whole school ground was full of vendors and buyers.
Rose became the Treasurer of the Community Fund.
Rose became the Troop Mother of Troop 757 in Cobb County.
Rose became an Officer of the ROTC Booster Club.
Thank You, FATHER and thank you Rose for your great ideas.
Section 2
Section 2. 1940-Present THE GREATEST MIRACLE IN MY WHOLE LIFE:
Probably the greatest miracle that happened in my life in my eighty years on planet earth is this:
1940 During my early childhood there was a high mortality of kids because of lack of medical care. I am blessed and grateful to our ELOHIM YAHUAH or sparing my life.
Another danger I survived while a baby was the Japanese used the babies for Target Practice... Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for sparing me.
Having grown as a poor barefoot newspaper boy running miles and miles to deliver newspapers and sell newspapers barefoot, sold gulaman barefoot at the entrance of the Catholic Church in San Fernando and the theaters and the neighboring towns, gone to school barefoot, attended high school with wooden shoes, gone to college with one pair of sneakers which were torn in some parts which I had to sew, the greatest miracle is this:
I have always wanted to do something great for our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH but I just did not know what and how. Even though at that time I sold newspapers and delivered newspapers barefoot. I sold mamon, hopia and other goods at the bus station barefoot.
Growing up I always envisioned myself as Alexander the Great the Conqueror of the World. I never told anyone about my visions of grandeur because they would certainly laugh at me because I went to school barefoot. Even in our school pictures I was barefoot.
Graduating as Valedictorian from Pampanga School of Arts and Trades opened many doors for scholarships with our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings.
After graduating from MIT (Mapua Institute of Technology) as a Magna Cum Laude (Silver Medalist) and then ranking fourth in our National Chemical Engineering Board Examination, I started to see things happening with the great blessings and protection of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
I taught in two prestigious Universities in the Philippines and I was the Chemical Engineering Board Reviewer in one. I was told I was the youngest Chemical Engineering Board Reviewer at that time.
I hob-nobbed and rubbed elbows with the movers and shakers in Manila. I thought that was a great miracle of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for a little barefoot newspaper boy and vendor of gulaman.
So little by little I saw things happening that could lead to the realization of my Vision to do great things for our FATHER.
With my Business Partners consisting of two Philippine Army Generals and one Fiscal we were able to acquire more than one hundred thousand hectares of land.
However, my Partners told me that if I could leave the Philippines do it at that time because Ferdinand E. Marcos was getting out of control. He wanted to confiscate everything for himself. They should know because they were part of the inner circle because of their positions.
So my family, my wife and four children all under four years old moved to America.
It was difficult for me and my wife especially for my wife because we could not afford house helps and she had to do everything. In the Philippines she did not do anything.
I had to change profession from Chemical Engineering to Computer Science so I could have regular hours to allow me to go to school and take my MBA.
I graduated my MBA and were ready to go home to Manila but Marcos either already declared martial Law or was about to so we decided to move South to Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta was very accommodating to us and our children. With my wife taking the Lead, we got involved in the community and our children excelled in school. They told us they did not experience any discrimination. In high school, Our oldest girl was Editor of their school paper. Our oldest boy was President of the Student Body. Our Middle son was Vice President of the Student Body and our Youngest son as well.
All three boys attained Eagle Scout rank the highest rank in Boy Scout. All three were appointed to the US Naval Academy and all three graduated from the US Naval Academy. The oldest boy was sent to Medical School and then Anesthesiology School. The middle Boy was a Pilot Instructor for the US Navy.
My wife was Troop Mother and I was an Adult Scout Leader. I was also President of Kiwanis and became Distinguished President of Kiwanis International. I was Board Member of the Salvation Army Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta, Ga. I was Public Relations Chairman of 27 Kiwanis Clubs in the Metro Atlanta and I was a Member of the Atlanta Clean City Commission and our family was awarded Super Citizen Award by Turner Broadcasting Network.
I hob-nobed and robbed elbows with Billionaires and Movers and Shakers in the Metro Atlanta.
Not bad for a once barefoot newspaper boy. Only by the grace and blessings of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH this happened.
So my Vision to do great things for our FATHER is taking shape.
Then I thought an opportunity came when my childhood friend called me in Georgia and asked me to help him recover his gold stolen by Marcos.
I had a family meeting to make sure the whole family agrees because we were going to battle with the most powerful and influential man in the Philippines who had more than 11,000 Political Enemies killed and thousands imprisoned for no reason at all.
We knew Marcos was influential in the Philippines but we did not know he also controlled many politicians and organizations in the United States.
As a result of this lawsuit I received many death threats and our Attorney’s investigator was attacked at the parking lot of her apartment building.
To make a long story short, after twenty seven years of litigation which brought our attorneys all over the world, we did not get anything. We got a $22+ Billion Unanimous Jury Verdict plus interest totaling about $45 + Billions. The Hawaii Supreme Court did a magic it reduced that amount to $1 Million which we could not even collect due to some technicality. Wow and Hahaha.
So the vehicle which I thought would bring about the realization of my Vision to do great things for our FATHER was crushed.
After that happened, I never gave up. I continued to make plans on how to accomplish my Vision. The different trusts were created. More detailed plans on my Vision to do great things for our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH were also developed.
Our Creed, our Dedication, our Vision, our Values, our Goals, and our Priorities were developed and put in writing.
The Spiritual Body i.e. the Congregation of YAHUAH was created on paper including the teachings that would be taught like the use of the true names for our FATHER- Supreme King YAHUAH, the Son- Supreme Prince Yahusha and HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
I had the Dry Seal made in Georgia and at Staples in Jacksonville.
The Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom was designed and created as well as the Fiscal Body.
The Dry Seals for the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH, the Dry Seal of the Fiscal Body were designed and created as well.
I never gave up hope on my Vision because I know I serve the greatest ELOHIM, the only ELOHIM, the CREATOR, OWNER AND CONTROLLER of everything, including all the Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds, all precious stones, all the Gold, Platinum, Silver, all the precious metals, all the wealth and everybody. HE controls even the fate of nations, the destinies of people. HE controls even our life because HE owns it and can take it any time HE wishes.
Our FATHER has a promise in the Holy Scriptures which says in Proverbs 13:22, the riches of the sinners are laid up for the just. The just are the children of Supreme King YAHUAH.
I always believe what our FATHER says in HIS Holy Scriptures and I kept planning and preparing and doing what was needed so I could be ready when the time comes when the flood gates of blessings are opened.
And the time has come. All the wealth of our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH is now under HIS Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom.
Our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH’s has consolidated all HIS Wealth which is unlimited and entrusted this wealth with me and Jennifer under the Umbrella of the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom to transform the world for our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s everlasting glory by giving opportunity to everyone to obey HIS Commandments – the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, the Abominations like no same sex sex, to Attain World Peace and Prosperity for all who obey HIS Commandments – the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule and the abominations like no same sex sex.
Jennifer and I are humbled that out of almost 8 Billion people on earth, FATHER, YOU chose us. Thank YOU, FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH through YOUR Son our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of YOUR Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Jennifer and I give thanks, honor, glory and praise to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, our Savior Supreme Prince Yahusha by the Divine Infinite Power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for making my Vision a reality. It may have taken 68 years in the making but it is here now and the mechanism and structure are in place as outlined in this Constitution of the Holy Kingdom of YAHUAH aka YAHUAH’s Holy Kingdom.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH. YOU are the most awesome ELOHIM, the GREATEST MIRACLE MAKER from everlasting to everlasting. YOU reign from everlasting to everlasting. NO ONE IS LIKE YOU. YOU ARE THE ONLY ELOHIM I KNOW AND I WORSHIP.
Reading YOUR Besorah of Yahusha and watching the movies made out of these Holy Scriptures, I do believe that YOU planned everything from everlasting to everlasting.

Section 3. Summary of Additional MIRACLES
1972. Surviving Double Pneumonia. I did not realize it until after I got out of the hospital after one month in the hospital that very few people survived double pneumonia. Thank YOU FATHER for sparing me.
1982 Having three sons attained the highest rank in Boy Scout of America i.e. that of Eagle Scout and be nominated to attend the prestigious US Naval Academy in the Deep South was a Miracle.
To be awarded “Super Citizen” Award by Ted Turner’s Network was a miracle. As far as I know it was the only award that was ever given.
To hob-nob and robbed elbows with the Billionaires in Atlanta was a miracle. You cannot pay enough money to wine and dine with these people. I estimate that those people I was dining with owned the whole Southeast, USA.
To be Chairman of Public Relations for 27 Kiwanis Clubs in the Metro Atlanta Area was a miracle.
For our children to excel in school and our oldest daughter was Editor of the school paper, our oldest son was elected President of the Student Council and our Second and third sons were elected Vice Presidents of the Student Council were miracles in the Deep South.
Meeting the Head of the Technology Department of American Greetings Card Company and introducing me to the SPA (Systems and Procedures Association) National Convention held in Cleveland Ohio and meeting Mr. Ray Philips one of the Operations Managers of Ohio Bell which resulted in my employment by Ohio Bell Telephone Company was a miracle.
I met the Head of the Technology Department of American Greetings because I went there to apply for a job. But he told me that their pay scale was not good enough to support a large family like mine.
Rescuing Roger from his kidnappers and bringing him back to Manila was a miracle. Roger was kidnapped in a hospital in Baguio City without any documents like passports, visa, etc. The kidnappers hid him in one of the mountains in Australia. Australia is a large continent. To locate and find him was a miracle in itself. Now to rescue him from the kidnappers was another miracle. After rescuing Roger from the kidnappers and getting him papers so that he could go back to the Philippines was another miracle. And to find money to pay for his papers and transportation back to the Philippines is another miracle. FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH YOU are the greatest Miracle Maker from everlasting to everlasting. And I give you all the glory, praise and honor now and forever. May all my future generations proclaim YOUR greatness, YOUR awesomeness, YOUR mercy, YOUR loving kindness, YOUR provisions and protection.
Being new in Cleveland area we did not know which was safe to pick nick. We found a nice place kinda secluded and we pick nicked there.
The following week the parks people caught a fifteen foot python from the same area we were the week before.
Before leaving the Philippines for USA one of my co-employees at United Drug whom I did not know he did not even give me his name gave me a letter to his sister in a suburb of Cleveland and he told me she is a doctor maybe she could help with the kids.
Dr. Mariano Pizarro and Dr. Araceli Pizarro were sent by our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH to take care of our children. They were great. If their office was closed or it was on week end, we could bring our children to their home for consultation.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is awesome.

Section 4
Section 4. The following are the detailed Miracles in my life and I tried to estimate the year they happened because some of them happened long time ago.
Section 5
1945 Section 5. When I was five years old, I fell from the batalan (dirty kitchen) of our house and my head hit the trunk of a guava tree that was attached to the stairs from the second floor to the ground floor.
This was during WW II and no doctors were available. So my grand Ma and my Mom used home remedy to try to help me. This left a long and large scar on my forehead which is even visible even now.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Thank YOU that there was no infection. Our ELOHIM is awesome and the home remedy worked without infection and complication.
Section 6
1945 Section 6. During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, the Japanese used little children as target practice. I am so blessed that our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH spared my life.
Many times our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH spared my life from poisonous snakes:
Aunt Carolina’s store in the barrio.
At the door of my apartment at the Kiril’s.
At a gas station coming from Atlanta Georgia to Pensacola to bring Ed’s car.
At the Kiril’s yard.
At the door of the Great Room in Moorings.
Thank you FATHER for sparing my life.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
Section 7
1946 Section 7. Testimony – My Mom
The greatest woman in history is named Mary. For nine months she bore my Master, Messiah, Redeemer and Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha.
The second greatest woman in history is my beloved mother.
Section 8
Section 8. During WW II my parents were officers of the Resistance Forces. My father was sentenced to die by firing squad because a family complained about him claiming he was out in the middle of the night and their dogs barked at him and their dogs alerted the Japanese spies that someone violated the curfew set by the Japanese.
My father was out in the middle of the night on official business. Every night a person regardless of rank is assigned the task of alerting the neighboring towns about the movement of the Japanese soldiers so that the town’s people could move to a safe place away from the Japanese soldier’s route.
During WW II the Resistance Organization was set up like a formal government. They had the Armed Services, the Judiciary, the Legislative and the Executive Body headed by the Supreme Commander.
There was a Hearing and the Lower Court sentenced my father to die by firing squad.
My mother, a diminutive woman of less than five feet tall with only a second grade education appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
This was her appeal. (I will try to translate it to English as best I can as it was related to me. My mother was so eloquent in her native tongue. In later years she wrote poems, songs and declamations used in expositions and argumentation and debate.)
Your Honor, my husband is not a native of our province. He does not speak our dialect very well. Even though he is not from this place because of his love for our people, my husband embraced our culture, our way of life, our beliefs and convictions. He is willing to sacrifice his life and die for our people and to prove this; he is an officer of the Armed Services.
I do not deny that my husband was out in the middle of the night which stirred up the dogs of this family. The dogs barking of course alerted the Japanese spies that someone violated the curfew set by the Japanese.
Your Honor, my husband was out in the middle of the night on official business. That night he was assigned to alert the neighboring towns about the movement of the Japanese soldiers so that the town’s people could move to a safer place away from the Japanese soldier’s route.
Your Honor, was it not mandated by the Legislative Body that in order to protect the “runners” all dogs would be killed?
With heavy and broken hearts we killed our beloved dogs. How come the dogs of this family were not killed?
Is this family working for the Japanese, our enemy?
Is this family spying for the Japanese?
Were the dogs of this family kept alive in order to alert the Japanese spies that someone was out in the middle of the night?
I submit Your Honor that they violated a very critical law in order to aid the Japanese spies. This family instead of helping the towns people they helped the enemies, the Japanese. Therefore:
I submit Your Honor that this family:
Violated a critical law in order to aid our enemy, the Japanese.
This family instead of helping the town’s people helped our enemy, the Japanese.
In addition, I submit Your Honor:
That my husband did not violate any law.
My husband risked his life to help the town’s people.
My husband was doing his duty delegated to him by higher authority to warn the people in the neighboring towns about the movement of the Japanese soldiers so that they could move to a safer place.
(Note: During that time the runners could not ride anything. They have to run that is why they were called runners.)
Therefore, I ask this Honorable Court to acquit my husband of any and all wrong doings.
My husband should be treated a Hero for endangering his life to help the towns people.
As for this family accusing my husband, they were the ones who violated the law. They were the ones aiding and abetting the enemies, the Japanese by not killing their dogs.
They are the traitors and they deserve to die by firing squad.
Thank you Your Honor.
The Decision of the Supreme Court: My father was acquitted of any and all wrong doings. The Accusers, a family of five were all executed by firing squad and their dogs were also killed.
WOW WHAT A WOMAN. WHAT A LAWYER. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST LEGAL MIND OF THE CENTURY IF SHE WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through YOUR Son, our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for giving my Mother the gift of knowledge, understanding, wisdom and the courage to exercise and apply those gifts.
The Holy Scriptures says that we are not blessed with the Spirit of Fear but we can do all things in Supreme Prince Yahusha’s name.
Praise, honor and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 9
1946 Section 9. After WW II, my Mom was charged by someone as being a Japanese Collaborator. This of course was a lie. The true charge was that my Mom and Dad belonged to a Christian Church and the “Huks” were communists and they did not believe in Supreme Being. Of course it would create another problem for the Huks if they killed my family because my Mom and Dad belonged to a Christian Church.
These were the same people she and my Dad worked with fighting the Japanese. Wow, one day they were your Comrades and the next day they were your enemies. It is possible that the woman charging my Mom who just gave birth to my younger brother was somehow related to the family who owned the dogs. Please see Testimony about my Mom.
Anyway my Mom and her whole family were sentenced to death by burying her and her family in the hole in the ground alive. My Dad was ordered to dig the hole in the ground. And people with guns were there watching.
It was in mid afternoon when Commander Dante, the nephew of my Mom arrived and I knew the guy. His Battalion used to come and have a feast at my Dad and Mom’s farm. My Dad and Mom would kill carabao and pigs to feed them.
Commander Dante inquired what was happening while he was holding me in his arms. He talked to the local Commander and after a while, Commander Dante told my parents to leave town and take everything they could.
My parents went to the neighboring town of Arayat with their few belongings and their horse drawn cart, their carabao and other miscellaneous stuff. But my Dad was a farmer and they had to leave their farm land, their home and all their families from my grandparents, siblings, nephews and nieces. They had to start a new life, a new way of making a living, a place to stay, etc.
It was a miracle that Commander Dante came when he did because there was no communication available between my parents and Commander Dante. There was neither telephone nor telegraph. The question in my mind now is why did he come and for what purpose? The War was over and there was no reason for him to be in that area.
I sincerely believe that our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH made him come to save us from death because a few more minutes and the people with guns would be forcing my whole family into the hole in the ground that my Dad dug from morning until mid afternoon when Commander Dante came.
Thank YOU FATHER for sending YOUR Angel in the person of Commander Dante to intercede to save my family from death.
Praise, honor and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for saving my whole family from death by suffocation because we were going to be buried alive!.
Section 10
1946 Section 10. After the WW II, my Mom and I were picking guavas in our back yard. We were having fun because the guava fruits were so big because they have not been picked for many months because of the war.
Coiled on one of the branches was a snake and my Mom almost touched it. My Mom took my hand and we went home. I asked my Mom why she did not kill the snake. She told me the snake was just enjoying eating the guavas. We will go back tomorrow and it will be gone. Also she told me if we killed that snake and it has relatives they may take revenge against us. I do not know if that is true but I believed my Mom.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
Section 11
1946 Section 11. Mom, Dad and I brought our watermelon harvest from Sitio, Arayat to Angeles City by “caromata”. We set up in the market and breakfast time came and Dad and I went to a local cafe to eat breakfast. Dad finished first. He asked me do I know how to get back to our stall? I looked around and I thought I knew so I told Dad sure I know how to go back to Mom. I was six or so years old. I finished eating my breakfast and I got lost. I could not fine Mom and Dad. I do not know how long I was wandering and finally Dad found me. Lesson learned. Make sure you really know before you say you know. Your life could depend on it.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that Dad found me before a child abductor found me. Otherwise there is no telling where I could be. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
1946 we were in Sitio, Arayat Pampanga and a group of us little children went to the river close to the power plant.
This river had a nice beach where people could wash their clothes or swim.
A group of us little children went to the river and we saw a hole in the ground closed to the beach. We made bets on who could reach the hole first. We ran as fast as we could and it was a miracle that no one among us jumped into the hole because we normally did to determine the winner.
When we looked into the hole there were a bunch of snakes.
Little kids did not play with the snakes but instead we proceeded to the beach and played. Surprisingly, at that time there were no adults at the river.
1947 I was in Arayat Elementary School and the huks invaded the town. The teachers were familiar with these raids and they were not scared. They methodically and safely moved us from our building which was not concrete to a building which was solid concrete.
The raid lasted long and so the Principal decided to let the children go home if they wished or they could stay until the dismissal time. This was about 11:30 AM and dismissal time was 5:00 PM.
I opted to go home. I normally walked back and forth to school with the kids in my neighborhood but in this case I had to negotiate the route by myself without my friends.
I went by the public market hoping to see my Mom who sold fish in the market but I did not see her. I proceeded home and no one was home so I hid myself in the small closet until someone came home. It was like forever waiting in that little closet and I fell asleep.
That was a very scary experience for a little boy of seven years old who was never left alone for any period of time.
Well later on we found out that the huks did not kill any town’s people. They did kill some soldiers and turned over their armored car into the ditch.
Late afternoon, my family came home and I felt safe.
Thank YOU FATHER for YOUR reassurance and Divine protection that all will be well.
Because of these recurring raids of the huks, my Mom and Dad decided to move to a large city called San Fernando. This meant that my Dad would build us a new house. I believe he was able to salvage some materials from the house he built in Arayat.
New town, new people, new challenges and new opportunities. This is one thing I admired about my parents. They were adaptable. My Dad had to find another way to make living and of course my Mom was at home wherever she happened to be because she was a merchant of anything and everything.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Dad was a farmer. He had to give that up because of the Huks. In Arayat, he worked as a Carpenter in Manila. He stayed in Manila biweekly. He left Sunday afternoon for Manila and would not come home until after two weeks. My Mom did not like that arrangement so they bought a horse and large cart to haul people and merchandise around town and to neighboring little barrios.
In the barrio of Sitio, my Mom sold chicken and produce in Angeles City. When we moved to the town of Arayat, my Mom bought and sold rice, corn and fish. She also became a small Banker. The farmers would borrow money from her with a promissory note they would pay after harvest season. There was no formal written document. It was a hand shake and a little piece of paper showing how much was borrowed and how many cavans (one cavan is I beloved 50-55 kilos of palay) of rice would be delivered to the rice mill where my Mom kept her rice. She did not transport any rice. The farmer would deliver the rice to the Rice mill and they would get a receipt and they would give that receipt to my Mom. What a smart woman.
When we moved to San Fernando, she continued that banking business and she branched out to mangoes. She would buy the whole plantation of mangoes when the mangoes were just flowers. The risk was that if there was a storm, the flowers would be wipe out and there would be no mangoes to harvest. But she was blessed by our FATHER. She never experienced of not having mangoes.
She would pay in advance when the mangoes were just lowers and the owner of the Plantation grove would deliver the mangoes to my Mom’s warehouse.
She also branched out into fish ponds. She would buy the fish when they were about an inch long and the risk was if there was a flood the little fishes would be gone. But again our FATHER protected her investments and she always made money.
Our FATHER is awesome. He always takes care of HIS own. HE loves HIS own and protects their investments.
Thank YOU, FATHER for YOUR loving kindness.
My Mom was a good business woman but she is also kind hearted. She had an open hand for those who need help.
One time one of my cousins went to Mang Doman, the Head Deacon of the INC is San Fernando. He also operated a fairly large store in the market. My cousin was asking to buy on credit one half of gallon of rice to be paid by the weekend because that would be his pay day. Mang Doman told my cousin he did not sell on credit.
My cousin went to my Mom who was in the same Market and told her what happened. My Mom went to Mang Doman with my cousin. My Mom in soft voice asked Mang Doman if he would want to buy rice and it was deposited at the Rice Mill where my Mom deposits her rice. My Mom said I have several hundreds of cavans of rice there and showed him the receipts. I would give it to you at a lower price than the prevailing market price.
Mang Doman was embarrassed because he could not afford to buy the rice. And here is the Head Deacon of INC and would not even help his brethren with two quarts of rice.
My mom bought what my cousin needed and all was well.
Now that I have been enlightened, the question in my mind: Does this Head Deacon of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) which claims to be the true church exhibits the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh?
Fruits of the Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, kindness, gentleness, goodness, self control, etc.
Section 12
1947 Section 12. MIRACLE – BULLET MISSING ME BY AN INCH
When I was about six years old we lived in a war zone in Arayat, Pampanga. The HUKS were very active and regularly raided the town. The Philippine Army could not cope with the constant raid of the HUKS. Then the government in conjunction with the Philippine Army formed a military unit called “Civilian Guard” which was designed to protect the townspeople from the HUKS. This was a volunteer army. All the members were volunteers. They did not have any salary or any enumeration. However, the government supplied the bullets, the guns and the uniforms.
It so happened all the members of the Civilian Guard were members of a small but growing church. My Family were members of this church.
It was standard operating procedure that when the HUKS start firing at the houses which normally happened at night, people would run for the places which were made of concrete for protection. In our case the closest place was the old train station which was not in operation any more since it was bombed during the war but some parts of the concrete structure was still intact.
One night the HUKS started firing randomly at houses. Everybody started running for the train station. All my family members were already downstairs when I woke up. I started walking out of the kitchen towards the “batalan” the dirty kitchen (where they roasted fish or cooked fish of any kind so that it does not stink the whole house). This was an open area where they also stored water.
A special kind of bullet the one that glows in the dark missed me by no more than an inch. I was so scared I peed on my pants. I was so afraid and shaking but did not tell anyone. I went downstairs and with my family we ran to the train station. At the train station everyone was so scared that they did not even notice that I was wet with pee. Hahaha if someone noticed my stinking pants it would have been embarrassing because I kinda like one of the girls my age. We were six years old. Hahaha
WOW I missed death by an inch. Thank you FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for saving my life by the power of YOUR Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in the mighty and precious name of YOUR Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha. Thank YOU for protecting me.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 13
1948 Section 13. Long snake sun bathing while I was flying a kite in the rice field behind our house in Arayat, Pampanga.
I was flying my kite on the rice field behind our house. I was running to get some wind under my kite. When I looked back to see how high was my kite, I saw a long snake sun bathing beside the little dike they use to hold water for the rice. It was a good 12 feet long.
I dropped my string and ran as fast as I could to home. Talking about scared. Hahaha
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 14
1948 -49 Section 14. As I mentioned in another testimony, my father was a member of the Civilian Guards and he was issued a rifle they called a Garand. I believe it was a standard military issue. He laid it on top of a table in our living room. We were eating dinner and I finished first so I had time to look around the living room. I saw the rifle and it was nice and shiny. I was admiring it and I was stroking it with my right hand and I accidentally pulled the trigger and the shell flew to our dining table. There was a loud noise. The bullet narrowly missed my grandmother whose house was next door to us. There was so much commotion because people thought the Huks were the one who fired the shot. So the Captain who happened to be my Uncle, Captain Balajadia and a few men were checking house to house to make sure no one got hurt. Captain Balajadia asked my Dad if everything is alright and my Dad responded everything is alright here. Everyone else in the house was quiet. And they went.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH, they did not investigate any further because even if they just took the gun of my Dad they would have known it was fired recently because it would still be hot and the magazine containing the bullets would be missing one bullet.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 15
1949 Section 15. At the back of our house in Arayat there was a small dike of may be about four feet high and it was over grown with weeds, bushes and plants. On top of the dike was a path made for walking along the dike. I was walking with my two of my friends and I was the leader because you can only walk single file. We were so engrossed with our conversation about our adventure in the backyard that I almost stepped on a snake that was crossing our path. As little kids it did not even stopped us from going where we were supposed to go. It did not bother us at all. Just note that 99% of the snakes in the Philippines are poisonous.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is most awesome.
Section 16
1950 Section 16. When I was in Second Grade in Elementary School, I used to cut “sakate” for my Dad’s horses. He had two that he used to pull a carriage to transport people around town. One day I was cutting “sakate” and I piled the cut grass on one place and then I was ready to put it in a sack. As I was grabbing the “sakate” I also grabbed a snake with the “sakate”. I right away dropped the “sakate” and the snake went away. After I made sure there was no more snake in the sakate, I put it all in the sack and I went home. I carried the sack of “sakate” on my head. Note: sakate is grass about one foot tall and higher.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 17
1950 Section 17. My Dad decided to sell one of his horses to one of my Uncles in Arayat. We were in San Fernando, Pampanga. By car it was not very far. It was probably thirty miles away. I was probably ten years old.
My Dad decided I would ride the horse bare back from San Fernando to Arayat. So instead of a saddle, I had the burlap sack as saddle. My Dad did not put the blinders which we normally used when they pull the carriage so that they do not get spooked and their vision is only straight. He put the cowboy style bit so the horse saw everything along the way.
In town there was no problem the horse was well behave. However as we went out of the town, there was open spaces where wild horse roamed around. The horse I was riding was a male of about between one and two years old. The wild horses made noise and my horse responded and jumped with his front legs up in the air.
Needless to say I fell but hanging on to the rein. Suddenly a man on a carabao (water buffalo) appeared from nowhere and said where are you headed? I said Arayat, Sir. He said hold on to the rein and get on the carabao and hang to me.
I do not know how long it took. We were both quiet. We did not say a word. Any way we reached Arayat and my parents were there waiting. As soon as I got off the carabao, I was going to introduce the man to my parents and he and his carabao were already about two hundred yards away and it was Sunday, a market day. The place was crowded and they closed the roads in that area because of too many vendors and people buying and selling merchandise. I never saw the face of the man. I believe he was an Angel from our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
Additional miracle riding horse to Arayat from San Fernando. When the man on the water buffalo (carabao) appeared my horse quieted down.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and protecting HIS own in this case by providing and Angel disguised as a farmer riding a carabao. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 18
1952 Section 18. May be some people are just born trouble maker. On weekends I alternated with my Dad in driving our horse drawn carriage. I brought someone to a place close to the Pampanga High School. And on the way back a man of about eighteen years old tried to grab my horse’ bit. With no hesitation I hit him with all my might with my whip until he let go. I was about ten years old and I did not know what was his intention was but I know whatever it was it did not feel good to me.
When he let go of the horse’ bit I sped away from that place and went back to market where I normally pick up passengers. Driving these horse drawn carriages is like being a taxicab driver. You are really at the mercy of the passenger. The Driver and the passenger do not have anything that separated them. They also did not have any means of communication.
So before you take anyone as a passenger, the Driver needed to ask where they were going. If I was not familiar to the place or it is too far, I tell them to get another carriage. But sometimes people lie about their destination.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and protecting HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1952-57 Every day I had to wake up at 4 AM to go to the Bus Station and sell newspapers. Except on Sweepstakes Ticket Day, I had to wake up at 2 AM to pick up the newspapers. Every day I walked more or less a mile and a half from my house to the bus station. I had to pass a long stretch of paved road with big mansions on both side of the road. One mansion on the left side of the road had about a dozen big dogs. They were about 3 ½ feet tall. They let them out on the road at the time I passed their mansion. So the dogs were wondering about when I went through. The dogs were taller than me.
They never bothered me but for a little boy of eight years old that was a scary experience. It was like Daniel in the Lion’s Den.
There were times I was really afraid to go the lion’s den and I took the alternate route which was longer but no lions. The problem with that route the dogs were smaller but were mean. They chased me.
So I always ended up going through the lions’ den.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that YOU protected me from those big dogs.
Section 19
1954 Section 19. Virgilio Capati. I will never forget this guy. Virgilio was a classmate at Pampanga School of Arts and Trades. This is a trade school but in addition the student takes a full load of the regular high school curriculum. So when a student graduates he or she has two choices. Work on his/her trade like mechanic, metal worker, etc. Or could go to college if qualified.
I really do not know what was wrong with Virgilio. He always bullied me and challenged me to a fight. Of course I could not fight him because that would be put on my record and that could prohibit me from receiving any award or honor.
But there are times when a person reaches a point that all you can do is fight. One Friday afternoon at lunch time I talked to Virgilio. I told him since he had been challenging me to fight for years, I said let us put an end to this.
After school when everyone has left, we would go to the middle of the rice field behind the school and we would fight it out until one of us was dead. No one would know we were there. I said whoever is dead would be left in the rice field until someone finds him and no one would claim responsibility.
Hahaha. Virgilio did not take the challenge. So I told him to stop his bullying.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that Virgilio did not take the challenge. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Regarding bullying, Robert a student at McEachern told me he was being bullied by three boys in the school bus and he was always afraid to ride the bus but he did not have any choice. I showed him a few Karate moves and I told him when you ride the bus again, if they bully you make sure you hit one of them as strong as you could and they will never bother you again.
Well, next time I saw Robert, he told me they do not bother him anymore. I asked why? And Robert told me he hit one of them at the Adam’s apple and choked. Hahaha
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh who blesses us with courage to fight for our right. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 19
1957 Section 19. It was our Senior Year in high school and we were having our Final Exams in all the subjects. There was rumor that the Valedictorian would not come from Bacolor, Pampanga, the location of our school. For years as far anyone could remember, the Valedictorian always came from Bacolor. I guess they were making sure that Vicente one of the locals would get the honor and title.
Ten days before the exams one of the local boys borrowed my History book called Modern Times and the Living Past, History is one of those subjects that everything is memory work, dates, people, events, etc.
He was supposed to return the book after two days but when I asked for it he told me he could not find it. You know that was a fat lie. But what could I do?
Felixberto Umali? One of our classmates learned about it. He told me I could use his book for two days and he would use it afterwards.
But that day he did not have it because History was not one of our subjects that day so we had to go to his house to get it. Time was important because we did not have time to waste. But his house was very far and there were no Jeepney or other transportation going to his house so we had to walk.
I did not mind walking because I was used to it delivering newspapers. But what made our trip memorable was we had to cross a RR bridge that did not have railings. And to make it more challenging there was a flood so the RR ties were under water. And what made it more difficult was the RR ties could not be seen because they were covered with rice husks.
We had to feel the RR ties to locate them with our bare feet and here comes the trolley sounding its horn because apparently the Engineer saw us crossing the bridge. So we got nervous. Couple of times I missed the RR ties and I had to get my balance again.
Well we made it across and the Engineer waived at us.
Then Felixberto told me that taking my book was a ploy so that I would not do well in the Finals and that would give Vicente an edge. Vicente was a local boy whom they thought could take the honor and title of Valedictorian because ever since time immemorial the Valedictorian always was a local student.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for nice people like Felixberto. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 20
1957 Section 20. Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that in spite of all the things the locals did to make sure the honor and title of “VALEDICTORIAN” was awarded to a local boy. Our ELOHIM saw fit to award it to me. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
During graduation week, the teachers paired the students for the Graduation Ball so that there won’t be any confusion during the Ball. The girl who was partnered with me who was a Spanish mestiza did not want to be partnered with me. She did not want to dance with me. Also my friends who were also locals told me the local boys who did not approve of the title being awarded to me were going to kidnap me after the graduation ceremony.
I told this to my Mom so as soon as the Diplomas were handed and the Ceremony was officially over, my group left in a rented Jeepney.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for not making the bad local boys succeed with their hideous plans. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 21
1959 Section 21. When I was going to college and I was staying at my Uncle Evaristo in Manila, our faucet in the kitchen broke. My Uncle was at work and my grand ma was with me at home. We did not have any tools like wrenches, pliers screw drivers, etc.
I walked along the street looking for a mechanic shop and I found one about two miles from home. I borrowed an adjustable wrench and a plier. I told the guy I would return them as soon as I have fixed the faucet. Without hesitation he gave me the tools.
During that time tools were very expensive and were not readily available as they are now. There was no Wal-Mart, no Harbor Freight, and no Sears. And all the tools were made in USA.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 22
1962 Section 22. I used to work for Atlas Fertilizer in Cebu, Philippines. I also belonged to a church and I was a dedicated member. So Thursday and Sunday I had to go to church. The only problem was that they met in a house that was a good three miles from where I boarded. Since most of the people worked during the day, the worship service was always at night. I had to walk in the dark and I did not know that snakes like to lie on hot or warm asphalt road.
It was a blessing I did not step on one.
Thank YOU FATHER for sparing me.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 23
1962 Section 23. From Letty’s house to her cousin’s house. I visited Letty Miranda in Zambales. On the way to Letty’s house, I went to her cousin to tag him along to Letty’s house. Her cousin and I over stayed and the Jeepneys stopped running their route so we had to walk in the dark. Her cousin sensed that a group of boys were ready to ambush passersby. Her cousin started talking in their language and told them who we were and they did not attack us.
Wow that was a close call. Thank YOU FATHER for sparing our lives.
That night I slept at Letty’s cousin’s house.
The following morning I was going home to San Fernando and I took a Jeepney and two men accosted me in the Jeepney. I guess they did not like men from other towns courting their girls.
After the Jeepney ride I was going to ride a bus that would take me to San Fernando, a five hour trip.
It so happened before the Jeepney stop, I saw a friend and co-boarder at La Peral Apartments. He was big and masculine and I stopped the Jeepney and paid my fare. Whatever the plans of the two men was foiled because I got off the Jeepney and told my friend the two men were after me. So he accompanied me to the Bus station and waited with me until the bus left.
When I got off the Jeepney, I saw a friend who was the former Miss Zambales and winked at me. I wanted to stay for the night but under the circumstances, I decided to proceed home to San Fernando.
Thank YOU FATHER for YOUR provision and for YOUR protection.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. HE provided the help at the right moment. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 24
1962 Section 24. Letty worked in Manila and I used to go visit her at her apartment in Ludovico. There was a narrow street leading to her apartment. One time I overstayed and as I was walking down the narrow alley, the Leader of the gang I would call canto boys approached me with a revolver. The narrow alley was dimly lit but I could see the revolver very vividly.
He was pointing it at me but I walked and approached him as if I did not see the revolver. I passed him and the gang at the corner shouted at him what happened. I pretended not to know and went through the gang members standing by.
The following day I learned that guy was the leader of the gang or canto boys and fell in love with Letty. I guess he did not want a rival.
Thank YOU my ELOHIM, Supreme King YAHUAH for sparing my life once again.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1962 I took the Chemical Engineering Board Examination and the results were released but not mine. I found out later that the people were corrupt and they sold good exam paper to those who would pay.
We had a family friend in Palauig, Zambales. Her name was Tita Conching. She had a sister married to the Provincial Treasure of Zambales. He had a daughter named Letty and I was friend with Letty but her Dad the Provincial Treasurer did not approve of me because we were very poor. He wanted someone who was better than me. To me that was fine because I would do the same thing.
Anyway it so happened that I was at Letty’s apartment and her Dad came and visited her. After a long chat, he asked me how I did in the Board Exam. I told him all the results have been published in the papers except mine. That was Sunday evening and the following day he called the Board Examiners and right away they released my Board Exam Result and it showed I ranked fourth. Of course they probably sold my other papers already because I know in my heart I aced that Board Examination. How do I know I aced it? The most difficult part of the exam was the Unit Operations. And all my exams in that subject were perfect i.e. 100 % during our Senior Year. I reviewed all my subjects at least three times during the Board Examination and they were all perfect.
The miracle here is that her Dad did not like me and yet he did not mind helping me get my Board Exam Results.
1962 I was encouraged by my other classmates to file for Immigration to the USA. So I did even though I did not plan to come to the USA at that time.
I got married with four children and with my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings we were doing great financially so I did not follow up my interest in immigrating to the USA. I was teaching in the two most prestigious universities in Manila, my wife and I operated a chemical business, I was working as a Technical Representative and I had other business dealings and my partners were two Army Generals, a Fiscal and WW II veteran.
1968 - My Partners told me that if I could leave the Philippines I need to go now because Marcos was getting out of hand.
Then within days after my Partners told me to leave for the USA. A letter from the US Embassy arrived and said if I did not take my allotment they would give it to someone else. I talked it over with the family. It is a big decision moving four children to a foreign country with a wife and no relatives or friends to help.
We decided we would immigrate to the USA. I went to the US Embassy in response to their letter so I did not have to wait in line. They processed me really quick and on the way out in line was Professor Virgilio Gonzales, my co-professor at Far Eastern University. We chatted for a few minutes and it so happened we were both going to Cleveland, Ohio. We parted and said that may be we would see each other in Cleveland. That chance meeting was a blessing.
I gave my two week notice to United Drug and one of my co-employees whom I did not know, gave me a letter of introduction to his sister in Cleveland. All he told me was get in touch with her in case the kids need medical care. In my excitement of going to the US I did not even get his name.
This became very useful because with four little kids and no health insurance in the US, his sister who was a Pediatrician and the husband was a surgeon, helped us a lot with our children. The beauty of this was we could bring the children to their home if they were sick and needed immediate attention.
I will never forget them. Dr. Araceli Pizarro and Dr. Mariano Pizarro. They were angels sent to earth for my children and my wife and I.
Praise and Honor and Glory to our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for HIS provisions by the power of HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh, in HIS Son’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha.
Section 25
1962 Section 25. Atlas Fertilizer Corporation, Cebu. My first job after graduating chemical engineering and passing the Chemical Engineering Board Examination was as a Junior Engineer at Atlas Fertilizer in Cebu. It was a good experience. During the annual shut down for cleaning and regular maintenance of the plant I was in charge of de-rusting and cleaning the towers which were about fifty feet high. They gave me a bunch of stevedores to do the cleaning.
Stevedores are short on the brain but are big in stature and muscles. At that time we did not have all the safety harness that OSHA requires here in the US. We had to tie a rope around the waist of the men as a harness to climb the ladders or scaffolding to clean the towers. The inside of the towers was not as bad because for every section of the scrubbing tower there was an opening designed for cleaning that section of the tower. The stevedores would not climb the scaffolding. So I had to show them that it could be done with the safety rope. I was the first one to climb. Hahaha. And then they did it safely.
After that I left Cebu because most of the people there had lung problems and we had to have physicals every two weeks just to make sure we did not have any problem. The reason for this was that the scrubbing towers were not efficient enough to absorb all the SO3 gases that was converted into sulfuric acid.
I took the Philippine Steam Ship to Manila. However, on the way we encountered a typhoon and the ship had to dock in one of the islands. I noticed that all the crews left the ship but not the passengers. I was half asleep when I saw a big man with no clothes except his g-string with a knife in his mouth. He was crouching and when he saw me moved, he left. I really did not know what that man’s intentions were but I thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that he left. I did not know if he was an Angel sent to protect me (because I learned later that huge ships sink while docked under a heavy storm.) or he was a pirate to rob us.
After two more days of sailing, we reached Manila at night. It was a mad house at the Pier. There was hardly any light at the pier and people shouting. I pity those poor souls who go to Manila and looked for a job. Who do you trust among the many taxi cabs? I was even scared myself because the taxicab drivers take the passenger for a ride and steal everything and then leave him or her in a remote area. And then before I disembarked, a Junior Officer told me to wait and I would go with him.
Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for this Junior Officer. He got a taxicab and asked me where I wanted to go. I told him at the bus station and the taxi brought us there and I thank the Junior Officer and he went on his way. I offered money for his return trip and he declined it.
Our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH provides for HIS own and in this case in the person of the Junior Officer.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for nice people like the Junior Officer. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 26
1964 Section 26. It was about 8:00 PM in Manila and my cousin and I were driving from Manila to San Fernando to bring home my cousin who stayed with us in Manila when our first baby was born. Her name is Gloria and she acted as our Second Mother growing up because my Mom was busy with her business.
There was a slow moving tractor trailer on our lane. The road was two lane highway. I looked to see if there was a vehicle coming from the other direction and I did not see any. So I started to overtake this tractor trailer and when our car was midway the tractor trailer another bright light lighted up which I thought was a tractor trailer but I did not really see a tractor trailer and I could not back up or slow down because there were vehicles behind the tractor trailer I was passing.
I really did not know what caused it but I momentarily passed out. In my inner eyes I saw our car and we turned into a piece of paper that floated between the tractor trailer and the bright light ahead of us. At first I thought it was another tractor trailer but I did not really see another tractor trailer and when I regained consciousness we were in front of the tractor trailer we were passing.
My cousin who was about my age passed out also and was seated beside me, and when she regained consciousness asked, what happened? I replied I do not know and we proceeded to San Fernando.
The rest of the trip we were both quite which I could not explain either because we would normally talk about a lot of things.
Wow, we thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for saving our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in YOUR Son’s name our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha. Amein, Amein andAmein.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 27
1964 Section 27. I was teaching Physical Chemistry, and Higher Math at Far Eastern University and I was also teaching Chemical Engineering subjects at National University and I was also a Board Reviewer for Chemical Engineering. I was also studying Management Engineering at Manuel L. Quezon University.
I had lady classmates who liked me. One borrowed money from me and would asked me if I wanted to go out with her. Of course I declined. She knew I was married. This girl was pretty and was always well dressed like Rose. I did not think she needed the money she borrowed from me. This girl was single.
This next girl was married and she was in love with me. She would ask me to take her anywhere. She just wanted to be out of Manila. I asked her where she wanted to go. And her response was wherever you want to take me. I told her that will never happen because we were both married. I finally asked her why she wanted desperately out of her marriage. She told me it was a family arrangement but she does not love the man. Apparently both families were wealthy and the parents pre-arranged the marriage.
It was late and I was concerned about her frame of mind to take the public transportation so I told her I would take her home. We arrived at her house. It was a two story house and her mother was there and her husband was there holding their year old baby boy. The husband was a good looking man and they had a handsome little boy. After saying niceties, I said good night.
I was not about to have two wives which my business partners had. General Vera had two in the same house. But he told me they did not quarrel. They live amicably and tolerated each other. Hahaha. Fiscal Asuncion had two but one lived in Manila and one lived in Quezon. One of our Professors in Chemical Engineering had four.
BUT that is not the kind of life the Bible teaches. So don’t do it. Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for giving me self control and fear and for caring and protecting HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 28
1965 Section 28. My wife, our two children and I were traveling from Manila to San Fernando to visit my parents. We were traveling north on MacArthur Highway and suddenly the hood of our car opened...
We were going probably about sixty miles per hour. The hood turned into a ruder and made our car go to the other lane where there was a bus pull of passengers coming at us.
We narrowly missed the bus and narrowly missed the ravine by about a foot. The ravine was about a twenty foot drop. I was so nervous and my heart was pumping hard and my wife was so calmed just hugging our two children. At that time there were no seat belts on cars.
Wow, we thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for saving our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in YOUR Son’s name our Savior, Supreme Prince Yahusha. Amein, Amein andAmein.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 29
1967 Section 29. Friday afternoon I brought our car to be serviced for our trip the following day to San Fernando.
Saturday morning my wife and our two children were ready to go. We were only about ten miles from home and our car started overheating. All the new coolant the mechanic put in was wasted. We could not go over a mile and the car overheated and spewed out all the coolant. I had to add water to replace the coolant because stores selling auto stuff were scarce.
I do not know what to do because everything was supposed to be in good running condition after the mechanic serviced it. I have been using this mechanic for years and I know he was a reliable one.
Finally along the way, I saw a small auto shop. I stopped and talked to the old man operating the shop. I told him what was happening.
He opened the hood and checked the controls, the carburetor, the linkages and the distributor. He showed me what was wrong. He told me the mechanic or whoever serviced my car, did not tighten the screw holding the distributor so it would not stay in place. And when it moves, the engine gets out of timing and it causes it to overheat.
He showed me how to tell if the engine is out of timing and how to adjust it so that it is properly timed even without all the equipment needed to adjust it.
He told me what to listen for to make sure the timing is adjusted properly.
WOW, thank you FATHER for this beautiful old man. I asked him how much and he said nothing. Just have a safe trip.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing us this beautiful old man, protecting and caring for HIS own. Thank YOU, FATHER for providing that old man to fix it and to teach me how to fix it in case it happens again. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1966-67
We had a neighbor, a Chinese mestiza with no children but married to a Chinese businessman who went to HK frequently.
One afternoon she sent one of her maid to our house at 3736 Lingayen St. and she told me that her Master wanted me to go to her because she was lonely and wanted company.
I told the maid to tell her master that I am married with children and I cannot have fun with her. Hahaha
Thank YOU FATHER for controlling myself to have fun with a beautiful young Chinese mestiza.
Section 30
1968 Section 30. When I came to Cleveland, Ohio to take up my MBA and to immigrate to the USA, I stayed at the Sheraton in Downtown Cleveland. It was $120.00 per night and that was in 1968. I was at the Train Station eating my lunch one day I met Professor Virgilio Gonzales, who was the secretary to the Dean where I taught at Far Eastern University. A few days before I left the Philippines I saw him at the US Embassy and we chatted a while. And his destination was also Cleveland. We told each other we will probably see each other in Cleveland. And here he was. He asked me where I was staying. I told him at the Sheraton Downtown. He asked how much I was paying and I told him $120.00 per night. He said that is too much. He told me he was staying at the YMCA and he pays $40.00 per week. And they have amenities like barber shop, restaurants, swimming pool, etc. That was a no brainer. We moved my luggage to YMCA and we got rooms that were adjacent so we could communicate without leaving our rooms.
We met some interesting people at the YMCA. But the person I am going to talk about right now are Mr. X and Mr. Y. Mr. X was a Filipino accountant but came to the USA without papers that meant he was staying illegally. As an illegal the only job he could get is telephone operator at the YMCA. I did not know this but he was jealous of Professor Gonzales and me. Of course he could not do anything with Professor Gonzales because he was a big guy. He thought he could do something to damage me. Professor Gonzales learned that they were planning to have me beat up by black people he knew. Professor Gonzales got in touched with another Filipino he knew and this guy is like a marine. He was tall and well built. He is the serious type. I never met this guy until that evening when we got together in a room at the YMCA. He just told the Filipino Accountant in a very firm voice, “He told Mr. X, if anything happened to Felix, I will personally kill you.” And that was it and I never saw that Mr. Y again in my life.
The Filipino Accountant did not try to damage me physically. But he tried to damage me in other ways. He did not give me the messages left by Ohio Bell Telephone Company regarding my application for employment. Mr. Ray Philips whom I met at SPA (Systems and Procedures Association) Convention told me their Human Resources would get in touch with me in two days and it was already a week and I have not received a call from Ohio Bell. So I called Ohio Bell and told them I was expecting a call from them and I have not received a call. They told me they left several messages with the Telephone Operator of the YMCA. Any way they told me to come the following day and take some tests and fill out some paper work.
Is it not strange that you cannot even trust your own countryman? May be some people are just basically bad. I never did anything to this Filipino Accountant/Telephone Operator and why was he doing this to me?
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and providing and protecting HIS own through Director of IT at American Greetings, Mr. Ray Philips of Ohio Bell Telephone Co. and Mr. Y the friend of Professor Gonzales and for Professor Gonzales. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome. Thank YOU, FATHER.
Section 31
1968 Section 31. When I started working for Ohio Bell Telephone Company, I did not have any idea where to look for a place for my family. Jim, one of the teachers of computer science at Ohio Bell, asked me where I was staying. I told him at the YMCA. He told me that is not a good place to stay and he invited me to stay with him at his place. I accepted and he told me he would help me locate an apartment that would be nice in a good neighborhood but reasonably priced.
Jim was single and many of the ladies at work I found out later love him but Jim would not have anything to do with them. The reason being his parents got divorced when he was about ten years old and he did not like the experience.
Anyway Jim I suspected had money because he lived in a Billionaire’s row. His next door neighbor was the owner and founder of the Planter’s Peanuts. He introduced me to them and I got to meet and socialize with Billionaires. The old man told me his story starting from the time his father passed away and he had to work all sorts of odd jobs to help put food on the table for his family. From that humble beginning he later on got into business and then his last venture was to establish the Planters Peanuts. Wow basically the old man told his life story.
Their apartment was set up like a Hawaiian apartment. There was a bar, there was a lanai and there was a large wall with gold coins stucked on the wall. The old man told me if anyone got closed to the wall, the security alarm would ring at the Police Station and within minutes the Police would come. At that time I did not know that such security existed.
He told me he would disarm the security and I could touch and admire the gold coins. Well I did enjoy such a privilege opportunity. Hahaha
We did have tea. I had mine with ice.
After we got more acquainted I asked Jim why he was working at Ohio Bell with so much money. He told me he did not want to watch TV all day long. I found out later that there were a few wealthy people working for Ohio Bell not because they needed to but because they want to. Some even drove their Bentleys to work. During winter you can see ladies wearing their full length mink coat.
Jim was a great guy. He helped me locate the apartment and he helped me furnished it. We used his brand new Volvo to haul mirrors and furniture and toys. I suggested we have some covering on his leather seats and he told me why? So that the next owner would enjoy it? He said we will enjoy it like it is and if it gets some scratches that is fine. He did not really care because he bought a new car every year.
Our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH provides for HIS own and in this case in the person of Jim Pearson.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for nice people like Jim. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1968 - With the help of Jim Pearson, my co-employee at OBT, we settled in an apartment in Garfield Heights. We wanted to get a car so we could go shopping with the kids and may be do something fun on weekends.
We saw an ad where they would pick you up so you can see their selection of cars. I ignorantly took the offer. Sure enough they picked me up but they did not say they would bring me back. The dealership was located in one of those little communities outside Cleveland called Ashtabula. I looked at the selection of cars they were all out of our budget. But they were pressuring me to buy and I did not. They kept promising they would take me back to my home and it was almost five o’clock and I was getting nervous because it was getting dark and I do not have a way home. At the last minute they told me they could not take me back. May be this was their ploy to make me buy a car.
Wow, what a bomber. I went across the street and right at that moment came a Greyhound bus going to Cleveland. I was the only passenger in the bus. I told the driver where I wanted to go and he told me he would drop me at one of the Malls closest to my house. And he did and then I called my wife and she called our neighbor the wife of a Filipino doctor who worked in the neighboring hospital. She picked me up. This couple did not have children. The wife is white and the doctor is a Filipino and they lived in the same Apartment complex we did.
Wow, my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH provided what I needed without even asking because HE cares for HIS own and provides for HIS own. Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for YOUR provision and YOUR loving kindness. I LOVE YOU and I give YOU praise, glory and honor all the rest of my life. Thank YOU for the Greyhound Bus and our neighbor. Amein, Amein and Amein
1971 - One of my co-employees at OBT a former IBM employee, married but no children. She was pretty but not beautiful. She started flirting with me and Bob, an elderly gentleman and tall WASP told her in no uncertain terms “do not mess with Felix his wife will kill you.”
Apparently she got scared of my wife and she stopped flirting with me. Hahaha
1972 I just graduated my MBA from Cleveland State University and were ready to go back to the Philippines little did I know that Marcos was about to declare Martial law. My wife and I were getting ready to sell our house and go. But something within me was telling me not to go home to the Philippines. At first I thought some friends forewarned me but looking back in my memory bank no one told me not go home. It was just a feeling of uncertainty. My wife and I discussed our options.
It was during that time of uncertainty that we heard that Marcos was really planning to declare Martial Law. I was content working at OBT but my wife said for the sake of the children who were sickly during winter; we need to move to a warmer climate.
We packed our little Airstream Trailer which my wife bought and pulled it with our Oldsmobile Cutlass Wagon and went South. We figured that may be the easiest way was to get a transfer from OBT to Southern Bell. But which part of Southern Bell?
So we visited South Central Bell in Birmingham Alabama and Southern Bell in Atlanta Georgia. I received offers of employment to both companies but we could not decide which to accept.
I attended a church service in Hudson where we lived and asked the people for their recommendations. Unanimously they told me to accept the one in Atlanta, Georgia which was a more cosmopolitan city.
Our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH weaved all the different pieces together to get us moved to Atlanta Georgia which proved a very wise decision.
Thank you Rose, the church people and above all thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for YOUR Divine leadership, guidance and direction in our life in YOUR Son’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of YOUR Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Rose, my wife is one of the greatest blessings in my life that our FATHER gave me and my family.
1971 I read a lot about Australia and the opportunities abounded. Rose and I made up our minds we would immigrate to Australia.
We were rejected.
Looking back and what I have seen on movies about the life in Australia at that time period, it was a blessing that we were rejected.
We would have had a hard time surviving in the Wild West environment of Australia.
Children would have no playmates. Schools would be rural at that time.
Job for me was scarce.
I would not have been able to finish my MBA.
Rose would have been miserable because she would be isolated. Even though Rose is a private person she is also a social person.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH. YOU know everything. Praise, Honor and glory to YOU FATHER in YOUR Son’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 32
1972 Section 32. I nearly drown at the swimming pool at Arrowhead Campground in Atlanta Georgia. Before coming to the USA I took swimming lessons. For sure I could do all the different swimming strokes like free style, side stroke, breast stroke, back stroke, etc. So I jumped in to the pool and I landed at the bottom. I realized I could not float or thread water.
Thank YOU FATHER for sparing my life.
Thank YOU FATHER for the presence of mind YOU gave me. As I landed at the bottom I remember the advice of my co-employee at United Drug that in that situation go to the surface and go horizontal and start swimming to the edge of the pool which I did and I was alright.
Praise and honor and glory to my FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH.
1972 - It was a great blessing to move South even though my job at OBT was good and I was being groomed for upper management because:
The children were happier with more time to spend outside to play.
The children were healthier with less runny noses+.
The children were happier with more children around to play with. In our neighborhood in Ohio we did not have many children to play with except the Johnsons who rode their horses to our yard and gave my children free rides.
Rose was happier because the weather is more like the Philippines.
I was happier because Rose and the children were happier even though it was a challenge for me at work because I had to learn a new computer language called Sobel a computer language specifically designed for Southern Bell.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 33
1972 Section 33. Double pneumonia in Georgia. When we lived in Ohio for four and a half years, I really did not get sick seriously because in Ohio even though it gets very cold in Winter, like zero Fahrenheit, it went cold gradually. Not so in Georgia. In the morning it may be 30 degrees F and at lunch time it could be 55-60 degrees F. My poor body could not adjust that quickly in change in temperature and I got double pneumonia. Well, at first I thought it was just a sore throat. I consulted our Medical Clinic and they recommended an EENT clinic. They specialized in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.
They checked me out and they prescribed some medication which I took religiously. The doctor told me it was just sore throat. However, it became worst and worst that I could not breathe. I went back to the EENT people and they re-examined me and told me there was nothing wrong with me.
I told them I did not feel good and I could not breathe. I asked them to send me to an Internist. They sent me to an Internist which was probably ten blocks away. The Internist examined me thoroughly and got my family history. He took some X-rays.
Immediately, he called Georgia Baptist Hospital for me to be admitted immediately. The Internist told me I had double pneumonia.
WOW and the EENT doctors told me there was nothing wrong with me. Hahaha
What if I did not know enough to ask for an Internist? I would have died of that double pneumonia and the EENT doctors would blame it on sore throat. Hahaha.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that I asked for an Internist and the Internist was very good and was not influenced by the diagnosis of the EENT doctors. Otherwise I could have died of sore throat. Hahaha. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome for providing me with a very good Internist.
Thank YOU FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for providing YOUR Angel in the person of that German Internist who did a thorough examination and testing.
Praise, Honor, Glory and Adoration to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH.
Section 34
1972 Section 34. When we first moved to Powder Springs, Rhodel and Jocelyn started at Powder Springs Elementary. Somehow Rhodel would be late one day and could not take the bus going home and I had to pick him up at school.
I asked the teacher to please wait for me to pick up Rhodel. Well the teacher either forgot or did not care. So when I arrived at the school after work, I saw Rhodel already walking towards home. And that was dangerous being a little boy who is non-white walking on the main road.
It is a good thing I came just in time to intercept Rhodel.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for HIS protection. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1972 - We moved to Georgia and I started working for Southern Bell. One afternoon after work this Southern Belle co-employee of mine invited me to the Library, the local pub across the street from our building. I was told they named the pub “library” for good reason. When the wife looks for the husband and calls, the husband could honestly tell the wife that he was at the Library. Little did the wife know that the Library is a Pub. Hahaha
Anyway this pretty Southern Belle and I went to the Library. We drank beer and left and she wanted me to go home with her. She was single and had a home in Marietta. May be she was in heat and she really wanted to have sex with me but with five kids and a wife at home and above all I never had sex with anyone except with my wife because I fear and I love my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH and I do not want to sin against HIM. I refused and went home to my family.
Praise, honor and glory to my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for HIS love and protection for giving me strength to resist temptation to have extra marital relations.
1974 Jenn decided we would go fishing. It was time of year when the people did not really go fishing because the bait and tackle stores were still close. But that would not stop us. So we decided to dig dirt behind the house and get some worms for bait.
We brought the dirt in front of the Carport and shifted the dirt for worms. Here comes Rose my wife and said that one is not a worm. That is a snake. Rose is one of those ladies who never touch dirt in her life and never cook and never knew how to cook. All she did was study. Her first college degree was Accounting and she was working on her Juris Doctor degree when we got married.
And I grew up in a farm and I did not see the difference between the worm and the snake.
The miracle here is that Rose recognized the snake and when she said that I wore my leather gloves and killed the snake. It was a small snake but years later I was told by someone that small snakes are more dangerous because as the song says, “I will give you everything”. Well small snakes will give you all the venom they have.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for providing YOUR Angel in the person of Rose otherwise I could have been bitten by the little snake.
Section 35
1974 Section 35. My family and I like to go to the beach on weekends. It was a beautiful Saturday and my wife and the children packed our green conversion van for the beach.
We parked and we enjoyed the beach. When we came back to the van, I smelled gasoline. I looked under the van and someone cut the gas line. It was good no one threw a cigarette butt otherwise it would have cause an explosion and our van and a few other cars would have been demolished. Because we were parked in a parking lot with cars around.
I tried to use duct tape to fix it but it would not hold. So I loaded the family and we gingerly went towards home. On the way I spotted a gasoline station with an auto shop. I stopped and talked to the mechanic and told him what the problem was. He looked at it and within minutes he fixed it. After that it never leaked gasoline anymore. I asked him how much did I owe him and he just smiled and said nothing. I thanked him and we went our way. The drive to beach was good one and a half hour.
You always hear people say that you cannot trust mechanics. People say they are scammers. Well, there are some good ones out there when our FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH provides them to you.
Thank YOU for YOUR angel in the person of this nice old man at the gas station who fixed our van’s gas line free of charge.
Thank you, FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH that no one threw a cigarette but at the leaking gas.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 35 A
1974 Section 35 A. - My wife, Rose learned to drive and she was going to take us around town. Rose was driving and Jenn and I were the passengers. We were going out of our street and the car went to the ditch as Rose was turning to go Right On Main Street.
No one was hurt and as soon as we were in the ditch a big red truck stopped and pulled out a chain and hooked up my wife’s car and got it out of the ditch. And that quick he left and we were not even able to say thank you.
And here comes the Police and asked if anyone got hurt. Thank our FATHER no one got hurt and we believed that the driver of the red truck was an Angel sent by our FATHER. He came so quickly at the moment of need and disappeared like the old man on a carabao who rescued me from being trampled by my father’s horse.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for providing YOUR Angel in the person of that Driver of the big red truck who came at the right time and wasted no time to pull us out of the ditch. It could have not been planned any better. WOW
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing that mysterious man with a red truck with a long chain to pull our car out of the ditch. He left so quickly and we were not even able to say thank you to him. Thank YOU FATHER for providing that man to help us and for protecting and caring for YOUR own because no one in the car got hurt. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 36
1974 Section 36. Jo was going to be ambushed by Keith (or Kevin, I do not remember) and Bubba Roberts. One afternoon after work, I saw Keith and Bubba ready to ambush Jo. I told them that Jo was taking Karate and she could kill them with one blow. They got scared and they ran.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that I was just in time before the boys attacked Jo Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 37
1975 Section 37. Jo was blocked by a big black boy at the classroom. When Jo was in Middle School, she was late going out of the class room and a big black boy blocked the door. Jo gave him a front kick and left him in pain. After that no one bothered her any more.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that Rose enrolled everyone in Karate and learned how to defend themselves. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome for providing us Rose, YOUR Angel.
Section 38
1975 Section 38. I used to ride in a van pool which started at the Methodist Church in Lithia Springs. We parked our cars there and the Van picked us up. One afternoon one lady told me her husband would pick her up but he would be a little late because he was coming from a school in Douglasville. She asked me if I would mind waiting with her for her husband. As a nice guy, I did not want to leave there by herself. So I agreed. When the husband came with the car, the lady hugged me and the husband did not stop. Then she asked me to take her home. I had to now since she did not have a ride home and there is no taxi service in Lithia Springs. Her home was not far may be three miles from where we were. When we arrive at her house her husband’s car was not there and she asked me to come in. I declined and told her my wife would be worried if I were late. Thinking back I put myself in danger unnecessarily. The husband could have shot me out of jealousy when she hugged me at the parking lot.
Sometimes you are trying to do good without thinking you are endangering your life.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 39
1976 Section 39. Custom Van was stolen on the parking lot of Marta Station at Hightower in Atlanta. Being active in the Civic life of Atlanta, I used all my connections to find our van. They found it in a junkyard being stripped. I rescued it and paid the storage fees.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for providing, protecting and caring for HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
Section 40
1976 Section 40. One of the ladies who rode with us in the Van Pool lived in the next subdivision to us. One morning she called and told me her car won’t start and would I mind picking her up? It was on the way so I said not all. I picked her up and took her to the meeting place at the Lithia Springs Methodist Church parking lot. A few minutes after we parked here came a big truck that parked right beside our blue light special. Of course we were not even talking. She was at the passenger side of the front seat and I was at the driver seat. After a few minutes observing us, he left. I asked her who was that? And she told me that was her husband.
Apparently he was suspecting her to having an affair that was why he did not allow her to drive that morning. Wow. These married women could be dangerous. So think very well when trying to help a married woman or I guess any woman because they could be dangerous or put you in danger. Hahaha
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for caring and protecting HIS own. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome.
1977- 1996 It was by grace and blessing of our FATHER that HE gave me strength to resist temptations because many girls were after me for sex. I do not know why and how but they liked me.
But my fear and love of my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH forbade me from indulging in extra marital sex.
Thank YOU, FATHER for keeping me clean. In the end the only person I had sex with was my wife Rosalinda. Amein, Amein and Amein
Section 40 A
1980 Section 40A. Testimony – We had carport attached to the house with one side open. A beehive developed on the ceiling of the carport adjacent to the kitchen towards the front of the carport.
I had a bright idea. I was going to get a plastic bag and wrap the beehive with it and peel off the beehive from the ceiling of the carport. I would do it at night so the bees would be disoriented I thought.
Well the night came and I got my step ladder to reach the beehive. Our house was on a little hill on one side, the side of the carport. I was able to wrap the beehive with the plastic bag.
However, when I was trying to peel off the beehive from the ceiling of the carport, one or two of the bees got away and tried to attack my face and I lost balance and fell from the step ladder.
The total height I fell was about twelve feet. I felt like I landed on a cushion of cotton which was very soft. Now I recall the passage in the Holy Scriptures that said my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH will send HIS Angels to rescue me in case I dashed my foot upon a stone.
WOW Thank YOU FATHER for sending YOUR Angels to catch me. Praise to my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of HIS Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh, I did not get hurt.
My FATHER is the most awesome; would you like HIM to be your FATHER too? It is easy and simple. Please check my posts on Facebook.
Section 40B
1981-83. Section 40B. When the INC (Iglesia Ni Cristo) started a locale in Georgia, I was the one who located places to be used as House of Worship. With Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings because of our involvement in the community and in the metro Atlanta area, we as a family were well-known to Movers and Shakers in the metro Atlanta Area. My wife, our children knew them and the Movers and Shakers knew my family.
The first one I located was closest to home. The City Hall of Powder Springs. I talked to mayor John Rogers if we could use the Courtroom for Worship Service on Saturdays. He said you can and gave me the keys to the Courtroom.
Then in order to save time for the brethren who came from South Carolina, I found a Courthouse which was about twenty miles closer to the brethren. I talked to the Mayor to get permission to use the Courthouse as a House of Worship on Saturdays. He gave me permission and gave me the keys.
However, the Courtroom is located on the Second Floor of the building. And there was a ramp from the First floor to the Second floor. There was a handrail but only for adults and not for children. I saw a little girl wobbling going down the ramp and I caught her. And gave her to the mother.
It was a miracle that I happened to see her otherwise she could have fallen from a good ten foot fall to concrete pavement below.
Praise Supreme King YAHUAH for saving the little girl from serious accident.
I told the Minister what happened and I told him I will look for another place which is safer for the kids.
I found A Bank with a large Meeting Room on the First Floor. I talked to the owner of the Bank and told him I needed the Meeting Room on Saturdays for Worship Service. He did not ask what denomination it was or what church it was. He just gave me the permission and told me the Bank’s hours on Saturdays. He said you are free to use it as long as you want. The Bank closes at 5 PM, he told me. I thank him and I thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for working in the hearts of these people to allow their Courtrooms, the Meeting Rooms to be used by us for Worship Service.
One Saturday, a little girl was wondering on the pavement where vehicles were going through and Ed (Redante) saw her and grabbed her out of the way because a car went out of control. The old lady driving the car instead of pressing the brake pedal she pressed the accelerator pedal. Wow that was a close call.
Sometime these ladies get so busy chatting with each other and they forget their little ones where they were. Thank and Praise and Glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that Ed was able to grab the little girl out of the oncoming vehicle.
Another Saturday a lady with her monthly period, flushed her Sanitary napkin in to the toilet and it clogged the toilet and water overflowed all over the floor of the Meeting Room.
It took them the whole afternoon cleaning it up and disinfecting it. After that I told them to get a hotel conference room and pay for it.
One miracle that one may miss is the fact that these people allowed us to use their facilities even though people in general do not approved of this because of the separation of Church and State. Praise Supreme King YAHUAH by the power of the Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in Supreme Prince Yahusha’s name these people bent the rules to allow us to use their facilities..
19?? - We were involved in scouting. Our three sons were boy scouts and it was a weekend. The scouts and their families were having dinner at the church grounds between Marietta and Powder Springs.
Jo drove her Mustang because she also had a dinner with her class in one her teacher’s home. She left and had an accident as she was turning left to go to the house of her teacher. A station wagon hit her car. The station wagon was full of kids and their parents and did not have insurance.
It was a blessing that Jo’s car was hit on the right side away from Jo and Jo was not hurt but was scared and could not stop crying. I assured her her car would be fixed as it was before.
Jo loved that car. The guy we bought it from even tailored the car to our home in Powder Springs because that car ranked fourth in a National Car Show and that was why the person who sold it to us was very careful who bought it and wanted to make sure it would be taken care of.
Well, with our FATHER’s blessing we found the right shop who could fix it right. After months of waiting, Jo’s car was fixed.
Just a side note here. My parents did not approve of anyone leaving the dinner table and going somewhere. They have to wait until dinner is over and they could leave. But these young people have their own minds and sometimes they suffer for it.
Thank YOU FATHER that Jo was not hurt. And her car was fixed right.
Section 41
1981 JO SECOND YEAR IN COLLEGE. Section 41. Testimony – Poison something on my arm
Section 41. That morning we woke up very early to load the little Nova and the trailer with merchandise we were going to sell at the market place. My wife heard about this market in north Georgia that was supposed to be good. It was about a little more than an hour by car from where we lived. It was about 7:30 in the morning and the sun was brightly shining. There were three of us in the front seat because the rest of the car was full of merchandise. My oldest daughter who was attending a private college in North Georgia was sitting beside me and my wife was on the other side of my daughter.
My daughter noticed something developing on my right arm. It was like something from poison oak. It was about three inches long but was spreading quickly and she was alarmed and told me. Believe it or not I did not even feel anything so I looked at it and told her not to worry. At that time my wife was asleep. I told her to hold the steering wheel and I put my left hand over it and prayed. Instantly it disappeared.
Wow, the power of our ELOHIM, Supreme King YAHUAH is amazing. HE is an awesome ELOHIM. All my daughter could say was WOW. I told her if that happened to her she could do the same thing.
Praise and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 42
1983 Section 42. How my oldest Son got into the Medical School after Annapolis. Rhodel always wanted to go to Medical School that was why he was not convince at first to go to Annapolis. Before he even entered USNA, I talked to the Superintendent about Rhodel’s desire to go to Medical School. The Sup told me he will try his best to do that but he cannot promise.
Well, Rhodel got into Medical School and then was sent to Anesthesiology School.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for paving the way for Rhodel to attend Medical School. Our ELOHIM is awesome.
1983 ? - Ods, Ed and Rock were in Scout and they went to Philmont, New Mexico. One of the parents of the Scouts loan them their bus conversion motor home. The motor home ran fine but when they reached the mountains, the poor motor home could not negotiate those mountains and so the Scout Leaders decided to unload some of the unnecessary load like spare tires, etc. Hahaha
That solved the problem of weight. However, on their way back home to Powder Springs the motor home had a flat tire. They were stranded in the middle of nowhere with no money to buy a new tire and have it mounted.
Two truck drivers stopped and helped them. One truck driver went to get the exact replacement tire and had it mounted on the steel wheels and the other stayed with the bus to keep the boys and the bus safe from would be robbers or bad people.
After a few hours, the other truck driver came back with the tire and they mounted it on to the motor home.
Since they did not have any money for the tire the Scout Leaders promised to pay them back by mail.
The truck drivers refused and told them it was on them and just wished them a safe trip home.
Wow, Thank YOU, FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for your provisions. YOU are the most awesome ELOHIM in the whole Universe. Amein, Amein and Amein.
1983 - ? The Boy Scouts and the leaders were on a hike in North Georgia. Rock and Jeff Lee were buddies and they were walking together. They got tired and Rock was about to sit on the ground and somehow our FATHER told him not to sit there and he moved a little bit and Jeff Lee sat beside him where he was about to sit down. Jeff was attacked by a swarmed of bees and started running. They brought him first to a lake to cool him down and get the bees out and they rushed him to the hospital.
Wow it was only a difference of may be one foot and Rock was saved from the bees attack.
Thank YOU FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for YOUR protection.
When the three scouts (Ods, Ed and Rock ) went to Philmont, New Mexico, Rock experienced a life threatening experience. They were hiking and it was a hot day and suddenly it became cold and Rock chilled. They had to stop hiking and Ods built a fire, Ed took off his clothes and cuddled up with Rock to give him warmth to avoid hypothermia.
With our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH’s blessings Rock did not catch hypothermia.
Praise, glory and honor to our FATHER for HIS loving kindness, protection and care.
Section 43
1985 Section 43 One perfect weekend my wife decided we were going to ride the rough in North Georgia. Our youngest daughter was with us. The four older children were in college. Three boys were attending the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland and oldest girl was attending Berry College a private college in North Georgia.
Section 44
1988 Section 44. You probably have seen shows of those adventurous souls who ride the rough with those rubber pontoon boats with a dozen people in them with oars.
Well the North Georgia rapids are not as big and not as rough. Of course considering I did not know how to swim and my wife did not know how to swim the rough was rough enough for us. And instead of pontoon boats we had to ride an inner tube of a car or a truck tire.
You put yourself inside the tube so there is no protection from wild life like snakes. Also, anything you drop along the route, you lost. So people were advised to remove their jewelry and leave them inside their cars. We did but of course we did not leave our car keys. I was the keeper of the car keys.
Along the route my wife’s inner tube got caught under a large tree with roots extending out and under the rough. I had to maneuver my inner tube towards her. Of course that was a challenge because the rapid was not going to wait for me. Hahaha. I finally got to her and then tried to unstuck her. The people in the restaurant overlooking the rapid were laughing at us. Of course it was not a laughing matter because I was afraid a snake would either come along or come out of the trunk of the large tree.
Anyway after a few minutes which seemed like forever, I was able to un-stuck my wife. We got through with the ordeal. We thought. We reached the end of the line and we disembarked from our inner tubes.
I reached for the keys of the car and they were not in my pocket. I figured somehow we would go home, I could hot-wire the car which was a two door Eldorado Cadillac.
We reached the parking lot. They provided a shuttle from the end of the line to the parking lot. I looked at the car and I figured to hot wire the car I had to break the glass window and tear out the dash board to reach the wires. I did not realize newer cars are hard to hot wire and yet you see those videos on the news that the bad guys can steal a car within seconds.
I told my wife and daughter to wait for me I would ride back the shuttle to the end of the line. I got back at the end of the line and stood there with no one but myself and prayed.
Lo and behold when I opened my eyes the keys were shining at about less than three feet of water and I thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH and got the keys and rode back the shuttle to the parking lot.
I unlocked the car and we got in and together we prayed. My wife promised not to ride the rough again. I teased her and told her, let us try the one in Colorado. That is easier because we would be in a rubber boat with twelve other people and a Guide or Captain. She said No Way. She told us that while stuck under the tree, she promised our FATHER that if she got out alive from that situation of being stuck under the tree, she would never go rough riding again. Hahaha
Thanks, praise, honor and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for helping us and protecting us from the wild life.
1989 - It was Ed’s graduation at USNA and funny Lola came from New Jersey and arrived in Baltimore, Maryland. She didn’t have an idea how to get to USNA. She saw a navy bus and she got in and told the driver she wanted to go USNA because her grandson Redante Dacanay is graduating.
Well believe it or not the US Navy bus took her to the gate of USNA.
There she told the guard that she was there to attend the graduation of her grandson, Redante Dacanay. Redante was well known on Campus because he was a Company Commander.
They set a place for her to sleep at Bancroft Hall. Hahaha
She was all set for the night and she found the telephone number she was supposed to call to be picked up. She called and Jenn answered the call and we picked her up from the USNA.
Thank you FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH for helping and keeping funny Lola safe on her journey from New Jersey to Annapolis.
Section 44A
1986 Section 44A. We had a Firebird and we received a notice that there was safety issue and the car needs to be brought to the Car Dealership. Jo and I brought the car to the dealer in Douglasville. I drove to work and left Jo and she waited almost the whole day for the car to be fixed. Well finally the car was done and Rhodel drove it to Annapolis, Maryland the following day to continue his study and training. On the way I think he was in the Carolinas, something blew up in the engine compartment and fluid spew out everywhere. He stopped the car and someone was nice to help him to bring the car to the next gas station. The mechanic diagnosed the problem. The Dealer instead of fixing the problem which they were supposed to fix made it worst. They took the gas line where the gas fume was going through and routed it to the coolant overflow container!. In my opinion they should have routed it back to the carburetor or to the gas tank to save fuel. But they did not. The car was fixed and Rhodel drove it to Annapolis.
I wrote GM about this and the Car Dealer was shut down immediately.
Another miracle here was Rhodel was not hurt.
Another miracle was that the mechanic did not accept payment from me because I was willing to pay him and he told me it was not much to fix it.
Thank, praise, glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that Rhodel was not hurt and the car was fixed that Rhodel could continue to drive it to Annapolis, Maryland. Thank YOU FATHER for YOUR Angels in the persons of the mechanic and the person who helped Rhodel bring the car to the mechanic. Our FATHER is the most awesome ELOHIM.
Section 45
1988 Section 45. I was supposed to pick up Jennifer at EPA for her doctor’s appointment at 1 PM. However, our little blue light special was having a hard time to start so I was a few minutes late. Jenn started walking towards SBC. But the questions are does she know where at SBC to find me? Does she know that I was already at the parking lot? Does she know that she was putting herself in danger walking in the middle of the day in a deserted street? Could she defend herself if a car stopped and grabbed her? I finally got the car started and I sped towards EPA and I saw Jenn walking on a deserted street. I got nervous because I did not expect her to do that. If you are told to wait at a certain place, wait there. Do not go anywhere else unless you tell the person you are going to meet you changed the meeting place. It is easier to do now because of the cell phone. During that time there was no cell phone.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that the car started when it did. Otherwise there is no telling where Jenn could be. Our ELOHIM is the most awesome. HE is the greatest Miracle Maker from everlasting to everlasting.
Section 47
1989 Section 47. Testimony – Wife Paralyzed
One Friday afternoon I came from work and I did not see my wife at the kitchen. Normally she waited for me by the window of the kitchen which was facing our driveway. That was also her vantage view when our children were young she could do her work in the kitchen and at the same time watch the children at play.
I looked everywhere and found her lying on our water bed in the great room downstairs. She was crying. I asked her what happened. She told me she was paralyzed and could not get up. I reassured her not to worry. I anointed her with oil and at that time the only oil we had in the house was baby oil. I anointed her whole body and we prayed as instructed in the Holy Scriptures. I hugged her and kissed her and told her not to worry, she would be fine.
Praise and glory to our FATHER Supreme King YAHU YAHUAH through HIS Son Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit Supreme Ruach HaKodesh. The following morning she went to the Flea Market which was her favorite past time. Our FATHER is the greatest and most awesome ELOHIM.
Section 48
1991 Section 48. My wife and I were carrying some stuff from Georgia to our son in Pensacola who was at that time a Pilot for the US Navy in Pensacola. On the highway, the car developed a radiator problem. It was my wife and I in the car and I told her we would need to exit and look for a mechanic.
We found a gasoline station with a shop. It was operated by two old country boys. I told them what was happening and where we were headed to.
With no fanfare they fixed it and they did not charge me for anything.
Thank you FATHER for providing these two old men in a mechanic’s shop along the highway to fix our car. I know YOU planned everything. The radiator became bad at the precise place where there are men who could fix it. WOW, FATHER, YOU are the most awesome ELOHIM.
Section 49
1991 Section 49. Wife’s High Blood Pressure
Praise our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH that my wife did not have to work outside the home while the children were young until they finished high school. True we could have had better cars, but we had to make a choice: more luxuries in life or my wife stayed at home with the children? We chose the latter.
After our youngest graduated high school my wife was bored staying at home so she applied at the Cobb County Tag Office. She was hired and she was told to start the following day. However, she told the Big Boss that she would not start working until a traffic light was installed at the entrance of the Tag Office. The entrance of the Tag of Office was on a main road. The Big Boss told her it could be weeks before that could be done. Well after three days, the Big Boss called her and told her the Traffic Light is installed as she wished and she could start work anytime she wanted to.
My wife was a highly educated lady. She majored in accounting and needed some units to complete her law degree. But she gave up all that to raise our five children. She told me that if she did not get married, she would have pursued a judgeship position.
Well she started working, making friends at the office which she enjoyed after being a stay home mom for so long.
One evening after work I came home and she was on the bed and crying. I asked her what was the matter. She told me the Red Cross people came to their office and checked everyone’s blood pressure. She was told she was a walking time bomb and told her to go her family physician and have it checked again to make sure. She drove to our family doctor and they checked her again. Sure enough her blood pressure was too high. The doctor gave her a prescription but she did not buy it until she talked to me.
I reassured her not to worry.
I anointed her whole body with baby oil. And we prayed as instructed in the Holy Scriptures. I went out to get some food for supper since she was not able to fix anything. We ate and went to bed. I told her to go back to the doctor the following day and have her blood pressure checked again.
Following day I went to work and she went to the doctor. The doctor could not believe it. Her blood pressure was normal. She went to work. From that day until she left this physical world in 2011, her blood pressure has always been normal.
Praise and glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh. Our FATHER is an awesome ELOHIM. YOU can and do miracles through YOUR children and I return all the praise, glory and honor to YOU, FATHER. YOU created, YOU own our bodies and if anything at all is not right YOU can fix it. Amein, Amein and Amein.
Praise, Honor and Glory to YOU, FATHER Supreme King YAHUAH through YOUR Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh.
Section 50
1994 Section 50. Testimony – Strong Wind in Ga.
We were in Georgia and the wind was so strong that my wife got scared and woke me up. So I rebuked the storm. In the morning, I inspected the damage. Two large trees fell missing our house. The trees had about one and a half feet diameter at the trunk and about forty five to fifty feet tall. They were Pine trees. I spent the next two to three days cutting them up in two feet sections so I could move them. Supreme King YAHUAH is awesome. He spared our house from damage and possibly our lives.
Praise be to our Father Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of HIS Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh that HE listens and hears the cry of HIS children.
1996? - I was preparing to go to Hawaii for the trial of GBC vs. Marcos Et.al. To look good my wife bought me a brand new pair of glasses. I was trying to get accustomed with the pair of glasses and I was wearing them going down the steps at Moorings Drive Townhouse. Somehow the eye glasses gave me the wrong vision and I fell off the steps and thank our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH I did not get hurt.
1997-2010 With my wife insisting that I get a concubine, querida or second wife because she kept telling me she was too old for sex and romance.
With that frame of mind, I met several women who were willing but in the end my fear and my love for my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH, always prevailed and I always backed out at the last moment of truth. Hahaha
A girl at UPS store
A girl at Wal-Mart
A girl at Wal-Mart parking lot
A woman at the gas station at the boundary of Florida and Georgia. We were there because Rose wanted to buy Lotto tickets. I filled up the Holiday Rambler motor home with diesel and parked it in the shade. I went inside to buy the tickets and on the way out a beautiful girl of about thirty was about to open the door of her car which happened to be a brand new looking Corniche, a Rolls Royce two door convertible. The top was down. The woman was well made, beautiful and desirable. She was dressed conservatively. I told her what a beautiful woman with a beautiful car. She smiled and said get in I will take you for a ride. I almost did but I politely said not this time because my wife and daughter are in the motor home waiting for me. Thank YOU FATHER, for controlling my emotions and my fleshly desire and YOU protected me from sin.
Etc.
Additional miracles note Kyra was born June 7, 1998
1998-99 Kyra was a baby and Jo was washing her hair in their bathroom in their apartment in North Georgia. Kyra happened to bump a bottle of alcohol and the alcohol spilled on her face and Jo shouted and I came and held Kyra and wipe her face and prayed to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH and she was alright.
Thank YOU FATHER for your Divine Protection .
1998-99 Kyra was a baby and we were closed to Groveland, Florida and we stopped at McDonalds because Kyra liked to play in the McDonald’s play ground..
I was holding Kyra and I tripped over the car stopped made of concrete which they used to make sure the cars do no hit the building.
I was falling and I held Kyra tight so in case I hit the pavement she would be protected. An Angel of our ELOHIM Supreme King YAHUAH stopped my fall and I did not hit the pavement.
WOW. Thank YOU FATHER that YOU are true to YOUR promise that YOU will send YOUR Angels.
For HE will command HIS Angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12
2000-2001 Kyra was about 2-3 years old and they were visiting her cousin in Buchanan. She and her cousin about her age were playing on the trampoline and were having fun and then suddenly Eddy jumped on the trampoline and Kyra was thrown up high and was hurt. I hugged Kyra and prayed and she was alright.
Thank YOU FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH for hearing YOUR servant’s prayers.
2000-2001 Kyra was about 2-3 years old and Jo brought her to an indoor amusement park for little children. This indoor park was closed to Orlando and Jenn and I was with Jo and Kyra. I believe Eddy was also with us and Gigi Dacanay and some other friends of Gigi.
They got to talking and they did not realize that Kyra went on her own and got inside one of those tubes . It was awhile before I asked them where is Kyra and they did not know so I started searching for little Kyra. Kyra was brave she was not crying but she was lost. One of the Attendants a young man was holding her and I came and took her and thank the young boy for holding on to Kyra because someone could have just walked out with her and no one would notice and Kyra won’t know the difference and she would not cry.
Thank YOU, FATHER for YOUR Divine provision and protection for providing that young boy to hold on to Kyra until I came.
Praise, Honor and Glory to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh in our Savior’s name, Supreme Prince Yahusha.
1998-2000 Mr. Kirill asked me to clean the drainage from his yard to the Doctor’s Lake.
I did and a big snake about 3-3 ½ “ in diameter came out with many little snakes with it.
Wow, Praise, Glory and Honor to my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH those snakes came out in the night and not when I was cleaning the drainage.
After cleaning the drainage, the whole front yard and the back yard flooded because their property is right around sea level.
I was walking behind my apartment and I saw a big snake coiled and sun bathing in front of the riding lawn mower.
My idea was to start the mower and run over the snake. As I revved the mower the snake leaped towards the bushes a good 20-25 feet.
From then on I avoided walking on the yard. I tried to ride the lawn mower everywhere. But there were times I was in a hurry and walked any way.
In one of those instances, I was walking from the house to the shed where we kept the lawn mower and I almost stepped on a snake that was also walking.
Praise my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH I did not stepped on the snake.
One rainy day, I opened the door of my apartment and a snake was there waiting to get it.
I slammed the door and went out the front door of the main house.
I later saw a similar snake at the back of the work shop and I killed it.
Thank YOU, FATHER for sparing my life.
1988 - When Rose, my wife started working she worked with some pretty nice young girls and they were very fond of hugging me when they saw me. It was a blessing that my faith in my FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH was strong and firm that I would not want to sin against my FATHER otherwise I would have indulged in sex with those pretty young things.
Section 51
May 2008 Section 51. Testimony- Shark
We were visiting Navar Beach in Florida and it was a very nice sunny day. We were at the beach and I was in about three-four feet deep of water. I do not go deeper because I am afraid of the deep because I do not swim very well. I was enjoying the warm water when I looked down. Believe it or not it was a large shark white in color. Some people will say that is a great white and it should not be in Florida waters. Well who tells the sharks where to go? They go wherever they want to go. I did not move a muscle hoping and praying it will go away. I looked up to the sky to see if may be what I was seeing was a reflection of the clouds above. It was not. There was no cloud in the sky. I looked down and the shark was still there just swimming around my legs. After a few seconds which seemed forever to me it moved away and then I signaled my wife and my daughter to get out of the water. I did not shout when I saw the shark because it might spook the shark and bite me. You always see in movies that the shark’s fins are visible as they approach the shore. Well apparently that is not true all the time. Sharks are smart too. Hahaha
Years later we met Mattie and her grandfather and her parents at the Mikcler Beach. I asked Mattie about my encounter with the white shark. She asked me what month it was. I told her it was May.
She told me it was a great white shark because they come to Florida from March to May.
Mattie should know she is semi-professional surfer.
Praise and glory and thanks to my Father Supreme King YAHUAH I was spared from being bit by the shark.
Praise and glory and honor to our FATHER, Supreme King YAHUAH through HIS Son, Supreme Prince Yahusha by the power of the Holy Spirit, Supreme Ruach HaKodesh for sparing me.
Section 52
2009 Section 52. 2007-2008 I went on a trip to Georgia and stopped by Perry, Georgia.
While parked at the Wal-Mart parking lot praying, an old man approached me and wanted to trade his 30 foot motorhome with my van plus US $7,000.00. I thought it was a pretty good deal so I accepted the offer.
In the morning, I went to the bank and tried to cash the check and the account has been closed for several years. I walked
