Hello everyone,
This morning I recieved a phone call from a parent that lost her son 2 years ago in a boat accident. I graduated with her son and he was 33 years old, single and was a coach. Althoguh my sister and I never met Roly's parents we felt it in our hearts to mail her worship CD's, prayer books and cards. Basically, anything that had to do in reaching out to God and letting her know HE is comforting her. Mrs. Gutierrez finally called because she had an urge to speak with me and myself and meet us soon. In fact, we will be meeting this Sunday. Please pray the LORD will guide and give us wisdom as we meet Minnie. Please pray for us and especially for Minnie and her family that stayed behind.
God bless and thank u in advance.

Lord, I come to you in prayer for Minnie and the rest of the family.
Touch and heal their hearts.
Please use his passing to rescue and comfort people.
I pray for Lorena and her sister.
Fill them with your Presence and help them listen to Minnie's heart cry.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Hello again everyone,
Thank u for your genuine prayers. I really need you to continue praying for us because I'm a little frustrated and confused as to whom to take with us. See, I just spoke to a prayer warrior and she told me to be cautious as to going to Mrs. Gutierrez home. In fact, she suggested to take Mrs. Gutierrez to her church so their can minister to Mrs. Gutierrez. Being that Mrs. Gutierrez is still grieving her son, I need to be careful because the enemy of this world is very sneaky. I am not equipt with the Word of God as I should be like a Pastor, it would be best to take her to a church where she will be ministered to and let the LORD do HIS WILL. Please let me know ur thoughts about this because I need to let Mrs. Gutierrez know that I would like to take her to church instead. I'm very confused because I didn't think there would be any harm in visiting her and praying for her in her home but because my friend knows me and loves us, she feels the best place to get her would be to a church where she can heal openly and be delievered.
Once again, please let me know your thoughts and I would grately appreciate continuous prayers.
God bless,
Lorena

I have made a final decision and have opted to visit with Mrs. Gutierrez at her home. I don't think the LORD would like it if I didn't accept her invitation to help her understand the bible and pray for her in her home where she has all memories of her son. If anything, the house will be blessed with the LORD's presence.
Please continue to pray the LORD will protect, guide and give HIS wisdom to me, my sister Elvia, Pilar and Alma as we join together this coming Sunday morning at 9:00am at Mrs. Gutierrez home. I plead the blood of Jesus over us and ask for favor on this special day.
God bless everyone and thank u so much for your fervent and genuine prayers. God be with us all, in Jesus mighty and powerful name, amen.

Father, be with Lorena, Pilar, Elvia and Alma as they join together to minister to Mrs. Gutierrez. Father, give them the words to speak to this woman. Father, give them courage and faith to speak boldly without fear and without wavering. Father, touch Mrs. Gutierrez in a special way. Father, I pray that she will stop grieving and questioning Your plan. Father, remove all pain from her and may she learn to just rest in Your comforting arms. Father, if she is in need of salvation, I pray that this group of women speak a word that is profound and usher change and acceptance. In any case, Father, I leave this all in Your hands knowing that eveything will work together for good and for Your glory. So be it, I pray. Amen

I wanted to thank everyone for your genuine and fervent prayers. We visited with Minne Gutierrez this Sunday morning from 9:00am till 1:30
m. Wow, we lost track! It was a divine appointment for her salvation from God Almighty! Mrs. Gutierrez renewed her vows and invited Christ into her life as she forgave the Lord for taking her son away. She shed so many tears and was RELEASED from anger and emotional pain, in Jesus MIGHTY and POWERFUL name, amen. Minne was very receptive to our visitation, I mean, the Holy Spirit. We met at her son's home that they had just finished building right before he passed away. I took two wonderful prayer warriors and we anointed the home with oil and prayers. I thank each and everyone whom so kindly supported us with prayers. Your beautiful prayers were answered. I especially thank our LORD and savior for being there with us in guiding, giving us wisdom and protecting us. Thank you JESUS for the VICTORY in Minne's life as well as with her husband and two daughters. Lord, begin to use her by sharing your WORD with her family and others, in Jesus mighty name.
Thank u again everyone.
Love,
Lorena
PS: when someone asks why did God take them all away, what can we say to comfort them? Minne lost her mother to a car accident when she was 14 years old and her father died at the age of 29 when she was 1 year old, then the brother she became a mother to was in an accident and became crippled, then she developed advanced breast cancer, which overcame, praise God, finally, she lost her son last year and he was 33 years old. This has devastated her. She loves God but wants to know why all this? Please help me explain some comforting words to her. Don't misunderstand, Alma and Pilar were AMAZING with their kind words and they are very knowledgeable with the bible, I am still learning but would like to know what else can I say...thank u.

It is not for us to question why God does this or that and the sooner your friend understands that the better off she will be. Losing someone or experiencing some trial is simply a part of life. Jesus' suffered on earth as well. So, how can we as Christians expect to have an easy life. The Word says that in order to follow Christ, we too must pick up our cross and follow. With that said, I guess what I would share with Minne is that it is simply a part of God's plan and that we should take comfort that our precious loved ones are in Heaven with God and He is with us as our Comforter. Our Precious Comforter is there to for lack of a better Word, Comfort us. He is there to hold our hand, hold us close in His arms and wipe our tears away. When my Nana passed (I was 7 yrs old), my mom told me that God needed a special angel so He took Nana to be in Heaven with Him and what peace that gave me. Minne will heal once she let go and let God have her pain and burden. Her shoulders aren't made for the burdens. She has got to stop questioning this or that and trust God completely. Death should be a celebration because our bodies are just here temporary anyway. Our real home, our eternal home is in Heaven with God. So, truly there is not need to be upset. Our loved ones are with God. (of course, I am assuming that they have accepted Jesus as their Personal Savior). Anyway, hope that helps
