Divine Ownership and Power

Introduction

My only qualification for writing my Jesus book was that Jesus took me by the hook. He touched my heart. This is an intangible love story untold. Jesus touched my heart and gave me the tools and engineered my circumstances beyond my comprehension. The Holy Spirit filled me with the anointing to write this book. I never in my wildest dreams would have even thought that Jesus would have me write a book for him. I did not understand what God was doing in my life. I had actually thought I was writing a letter to my two sons, Brian and Kevin. I got into a car accident in 2001 and ended up with a disease called fibromyalgia. I had been in bed for three very long years. One night, I was lying on my bed, weeping. My heart was aching and weeping for my two sons. I wanted to write a letter to my sons to try to explain to them both how I felt and how I wanted them both to try to understand Mom’s disease. I had lost all connection with my son Kevin because of this disease. I was trying to explain to both of them why Mom couldn’t do the things she used to do. My son Kevin was only twelve years old at the time, and we used to do everything together.

This book is a God’s free love gift to you. Jesus came to receive you, not to deceive. Grab your free gift that God had given, and you will receive his grace, love, and mercy. You have to take it by faith. You have to say, Lord, I want to be born-again. Lift up my ship to reflow me into the sea that I may rise up to you, God. We have a loving God who wants to love you from the beginning to the end, from the first to the last. He’s the Alpha and the Omega. You are the gate of the body and the soul into heaven’s doors. Don’t be on your plans. Be on God’s plans, and you will have a victorious life of God’s prevailing love for you. This is the place where God has prepared for you, because he wants to do in you a new work and change your life. Jesus wants to change your life’s plans and be on his plans. Don’t keep your plans for yourself. Trust me! You will make a big mess out of your life, trying to do it your way. The love of God is in our plans. If we stay on God’s map, we will never get lost. Men will deceive you every time. God will never fail you, leave you, nor forsake you. God said, I am the vine. You are the branches. I have to be in the power of the Holy Spirit from day to day. The more we are filled with the anointing of his Holy Spirit, the more we become like him. This means you truly have and will know the fruits and gifts of God’s divine glory on you and that you truly are in him when people say bad things about you or are mean to you. My fruit is not in you; remember, the words that cometh out of the mouth is from the man’s heart. Satan, the enemy, comes radiant too, robbing, killing, and destroying. Words can damage a person’s heart and soul. It’s like a knife. It will cause pain that will pierce our heart like sharp arrows. You are like a vivid reflection of God’s heart because God is dwelling in you. It can also destroy what God is trying to do in your life. The tongue is a two-edged sword that can also hinder you in your walk with God. It can damage your soul, mind, and spirit. Be careful what you say to God’s people. There is no fear in God. God said, I give you my spirit of love, peace, and sound mind. If you want to be used by God and be in the royal family, be ye prepared to give up everything and everybody and totally abandon yourself up to God. In other words, surrender yourself totally to God. And that means 24/7 on duty and be on active duty and be aware of the danger of relaxing spiritually. Make sure you’re on the right page with God’s plans.

The Silent Ranks of My Soldier

Author Terrie Reyes

To My Son Brian

Brian, you fought for your country. You took your life crossing that enemy line every day and night for one second, one moment, one hour, and every year. You proudly served for this country. God is so pleased with you and so I am. God said he has a purpose and plan for your life. We really don’t know in our minds and in our hearts what the fear of the unknown that you had upon your life, of what you had to see and had to endure the true suffering of literally dying yourself (oh, Brian). God said in his word, Good job, my faithful servant. For God is good, and God is still with you today and always will be with you. Jesus said, I will never leave you or forsake you. Jesus loves you so much, Brian. Jesus is the only one that truly understands what you had to go through and what you came back with in your mind and in your life upon your person. Oh, Lord Jesus, how I prayed every day and night for you to return home safe! Jesus answered that prayer by delivering you from that evil you had to face fearing for your own life. A special salute to you, my beloved son, Brian, for you complied with God’s commands and became completely obedient with no objection on your person. You are truly God’s aspiration. You, Brian, did your job of active duty and stood tall doing it. And you did protect your country with your bravery. The Lord honors you. He’s to discipline his children because you listened to God’s call of advice and did active duty for our lives. Thank you, Son. I will never forget what you did and what you went through. Jesus said that you diligently sought him in a new place in your life. You gave your best to endure the horrible war you had to face. As a new leader in God’s life, as I was gazing at your marine picture that I have on my wall, tears were running down my face and dripping on my pen and paper on which I was writing for Jesus. You made a great choice to listen to the Master’s voice. Purified clean of your duty as his great vessel with cures for your statue, of evolution with gods purified, love for you active face upon your person. Mom’s grateful.

Image%2004b.jpg

My son, Brian, from your bravery and prideful heart, you made a voice to set the captains free—free indeed. We are thankful to you, my son, for the sacrifice on our behalf. You have a profound ornately calculating life. Because of your honor, extraordinary respect, and love for us, your country, you fought the wars to free us, thus doing your service unto God. You are in your Mother’s prideful, joyful heart, standing tall as a soldier. reading the silent ranks of my productivity in my sovereignty with my vulnerability, known not of your favor, confusingly, mind, you had your itinerary, very active at your advice, of your chain of command that you were in this is reluctantly, evaluating important upon your soldiering in your life. Following is the poem I wrote to you, my son.

Image%2003c.jpg

A Poem to My Son Brian

I wear no uniforms, no army greens, but I am in the military in the ranks rarely seen. I have no rank upon my shoulders. Slaves I do not give. But the military world is the place where I lived. I’m not in the chain of command. Orders I do not get. But my Brian is the one who does. This I cannot forget. I’m not the one who fires the weapon, who puts my life on the line. But my job is just as tough. I’m the one that is left behind. My Brian is a patriot, brave, and pride-filled man. And the call to serve his country, not all can understand. Behind the line I see the things needed to keep this country free. My Brian makes the sacrifice, with his logical thinking in his academic service to our family and me. I love the man Brian. Soldiering is his life. Indeed, evidence who is the qualified servant who fought for our country to free our lives. My son Brian is a man in the marines, who sacrificed his life to save ours. I will never forget the silent ranks of my soldier. Brian crosses the enemy lines every day and night for our freedom. You are in Mom’s ranks—always been.

Love you,

Your mother always

Acknowledgments

First of all, I want to thank my sweet daddy Jesus for allowing the power of his anointing to come upon me and for using me as his vessel—to write his words to all of God’s people in the world and across the nations and across the streets. I know now God’s will for my life and the call on my life. Jesus has a perfect plan not only for my life but also for my family’s life. We are all God’s chosen people. This is also in loving memory of my family whom I love very much. You are all in my hearts.

I want to give recognition to the special people in my life. My parents Job and Mary are a true gift for me because of God’s love, mercy, and passion through the power of God’s Holy Spirit. I specially thank my daddy who preached about Christ to me and who loved talking about Jesus and my mother who prayed for me day and night and never judged me but just showed me Jesus’ love. I thank my brother Mark and sisters Pam, Jolene, and Shelley for helping me in my times of need and for all brilliant acts of love, kindness, and meekness. A special salute to Skip for encouraging me to pursue all my dreams and to God for making my visions come true.

I give a big salute to you, Brian, my son, whom also I love for his bravery and courage to have fought in the wars. Thank you, Son, for keeping us alive with your life, crossing the enemy lines every day and night and fighting for our country and our freedom. I am so proud of you and love you. Brian, I also want to thank you for believing in me. You encouraged me to write this book and kept me moving forward to press onto the high calling that God put upon my life. I love you, honey. I thank God for your wife Beth. God is transforming your lives, hearts, and minds. Thank you, Beth, for loving my son Brian. Brian, love and respect and honor your wife.

Love you and hugs and kisses. God bless all of you. Amen.

God Spoke, and I Wrote His Words to His People

I don’t know how to express my gratitude to my sweet daddy Jesus. He salted my life. I thought I was writing a letter to my two sons, Brian and Kevin. I was trying to explain my crying heart as a mother to both of my boys. My son Kevin at the time was twelve years old, and I was the type of mother who others would call the taxicab mom. I would always want my son to be happy. It meant a lot to my heart to see my son Kevin’s happiness. At the time, Kevin’s dad, Skip, and I were going through a divorce, so we would have fifty-fifty custody. On my days and nights, I would have my son Kevin picked up and all his friends from their houses, and then we would all go to the store and get dinner stuff and all kinds of goodies. We would all stop by the video store, of course, to get a movie or a game. Then we would all go to my house. I would start cooking dinner with meat, potatoes, and veggies. Then I would jump right in the middle of the boys as I make dinner, and we would all talk and laugh all together. I would tell jokes and start laughing, and the boys and Kevin would also laugh. And we would all have a lot of fun together. We would play games. I have a lot of feelings and emotions because my heart ached for my two boys, Brian and Kevin. Kevin, you are very smart in what you’re doing in your life: going to Sacramento State University College, and the pro wakeboarding that you do in your life. And I am so proud of you for achieving third place in pro wakeboarding in the United States. You truly have a gift from God, who loves you. Keep reading your Bible, Kevin, and God will show you amazing things in your life and beyond your wildest dreams that will come true. God had said, If you seek me, you will find me. Don’t ever give up on the hope of Jesus’ glory. Amen.

Image%2003b.jpg

Let me say thank you to Skip for helping me make my dreams come true and for believing in me. Skipper, you have truly touched my heart, and Jesus loves you. Thank you to my children, my sons Brian and Kevin. You both are the treasures of my gifts. Thank you both for being faithful in helping, encouraging, and believing in Mom to write Jesus’ book. I am so grateful to all my grandchildren, little gifts from God, Brenton, Ashley, Taylor, Wyatt, and my Little Madison (Mattie, her nickname). I specially thank my brother-in-law, Steve, and Sister Pam for helping me out. I salute Steve for having such a loving and giving heart and for his act of kindness toward other people. You never judged anybody. Steve, you are a beautiful person inside and out, and you are truly a very funny person, and it’s very fun to be around you. I am so grateful to have you in my life. Thank you, my dear sister, Pam, for your gentle heart and love that you have in your heart. You truly have the love of God in your heart, and I love you for your gracious help in my time of need. Thanks to my sons, Brian and Kevin, and to my grandchildren for their love.

All the scriptures of the Holy Bible and the scripture quotations are from the New International version (NIV) and Today International Version (TNIV) and the copy rights. All come unto me now. Here is my love story untold.

The Messages God Spoke to the Angels

The Angel Gabriel brought message to Mary. He could not preach it himself, but he could bear witness to the gospel that was to be preached by Jesus Christ and his followers.

In Matthew 1:20, we can read that the angel brought the message to Joseph but he could not preach.

In Daniel 9:24, we can see that Gabriel could not preach, but he could prophesy.

Again in Luke 2:10–11, we read that the angel does not preach the gospel; rather, he witnesses to it and demonstrates it. He informs, Here is God’s good news to all of his people in the world and across the nations.

Writing for Jesus: Listening to the Master’s Voice

I need to trust God’s call upon my life and accept his assignment. You, my children Brian and Kevin, helped me, believing in Mom, and encouraged me. You helped me accomplish my goals to write my book for Jesus. Thank you, my son Brian, for being who you are: a marine. I have seen God through your development and your active faith in God’s presence. I remember us sharing our experiences, biblical conversations, and our heart-to-heart genuine talks about our life together and also with Kevin, all joined together with peace and treating each other with dignity, honor, and respect. Kevin, I appreciate your commitment and the effort you put in maintaining the relationship with the people you love. I appreciate your love and faith and becoming who you are and growing in the Lord with your vigorous strength and love and the truth in being consistent with all your distinguished philosophies in the core of your entire being. You have made me proud. And the expression on your person shows you as a great enthusiastic character with real peace in choosing and trusting God in all.

Amen. I love you both, Brian and Kevin, my two angels God gave me. Amen! God formed us for his family. God is the one who made all things, and all things are for his glory. Jesus wanted to have many children share his glory. See how very much our heavenly father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are (1 Jn. 3:1, NLT).

Image%2002.jpg

God’s Love for His Children

Jesus has a perfect and true destiny for all our lives, not only in my life but also in my family’s lives. My parents father Job and mother Mary, are a true gift of God’s love, mercy, and compassion through the power of God’s Holy Spirit. I say a special thank-you to my sweet daddy Jesus for allowing me to write his book through the power of his anointing Holy Spirit. My mother Mary, who prayed for me every day and every night, never judged me. She just always gave me Jesus’ love, and my father Job would preach to me and always loved to talk about the word of God to me. I thank my brother Mark and my sisters, Pam, Jolene, and Shelley, for helping me during my times of needs. I salute my son, Brian, whom I love for his bravery and courage to keep us alive by risking his life crossing the enemy lines every day and every night for fighting for our lives and for our country to set us free. Brian, I am so proud of you and love you very much, honey. Let me say thank you to Skip for believing in me and helping me to make all my dreams come true. Skipper, you have truly touched my heart. Jesus loves you. I give my special thanks to my children, Brian and Kevin. You both are the treasures and gifts. Thank you for being so faithful and for loving and helping me to write Jesus’ book. I’m so grateful to all my grandchildren, little gifts from God, Brenton, Ashley, Taylor, and Wyatt, and my little Madison (Mattie is her nickname). Grammy loves you all and will always be there for you all. The Bible says, God has reserved a priceless inheritance for all his children. It is kept in heaven for you, pure and purified beyond the reach of God’s love for you. The Lord is pleased with those who worship him and trust in his love (Ps. 147:11). I also thank my brother-in-law, Steve, for helping me out (even on my computer, ha-ha!). Thank you for helping me out on everything. You are good-hearted and always willing to give a helping hand in things when needed.

Image%2003f.jpg

Steve, you are a very generous person, and you have a loving heart, and you act kindly toward other people. You never judged anybody. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and you are a very fun-loving person, and it is fun to be around you. I am so very grateful to have you and my dear sister Pam in my life. I want to give a special thank-you to my dear sister Pam for your loving and gentle giving heart. Pam, you have so much love in your heart. You truly have the love of God in your heart with all the nine fruits of God’s love, mercy, kindness, goodness, and his Holy Spirit, and I love you for your gracious help in my times of need. You are a good person inside and out. That brings good pleasure in my heart, and you make God smile with the goals you made in your life. Most importantly, the smile of God is the goal of your life, and the Lord takes good pleasure in his people (Ps. 149:4), just like the Bible gives
