Just remember the book of JOB…where the Devil dared God to test one of his faithful followers Job and he told the Devil, he could do anything to his family but not hurt Job…and he lost everything, wife, children, servants and all and he never stop believing that God had a plan for him…and after he past the test and the Devil was shamed, Job was rewarded in so many ways from God, just by believing and continuing to be faithful to him and not let evil or the Devil conquer him. Jennifer, I don’t know you, but from listening to your interviews and watching you on television, you seem strong and very wise. Keep your faith and I know you want to be angry, you have to forgive or that anger will take over you and you will block your true blessings in the making. Ur mom, brother, and nephew are always with you whether in physical or spiritual. They are your angels now to protect and watch over you. In time your wounds will heal and you will be stronger that ever. God Bless and keep your faith.
i pray for you and your family. Jennifer, if you need to cry, scream, or yell do so because it will relieve you of the pain. in going thourgh myself in death, the spirit of the Lord lead me to ask God to take the pain out of it. the pain was soo great i could not bear it. i had to give it back to God.
With love and Holy Ghost prater, I pray for you. I know first hand the pain that you are experiencing.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
