Chapter Seven[ The testimony of God the great]
It is great! Congratulations! "Doctor Glen turns to Rudolf and Rhoda and smiles, adding, "Where are you going this time?" "We were halfway home when my wife passed out!" Rudolf replied. "Come on baby, wake up!" he says as he turns to Robert. "Mommy!" Robert says as he moves his hand and body toward Rhoda, who is eager to embrace and hug him in her arms. "My little precious baby, I love you!" he sobbed. Rhoda exclaimed as she hugged Robert and Rudolf."I would recommend that you have your family's health checked before you leave," Doctor Glen says, adding, "The pandemic problem has expanded internationally, there is an area declared in community quarantine, and everyone has been affected, including travelers."
Rhoda is concerned: "Thank you, Doc, Glen! Do what's best for us!" "Honey," Rhoda says as she turns to Rudolf, “that was my concept a long time ago, and you required it for your health problems," Rhoda adds as he walks ahead for registration, Rudolf shouts, "All right, let's get this health checkup started!" As he walks ahead for registration.
Suddenly, a member of the rescue team appears and informs the family, "Sir Wagner, we are due to leave for China before midnight tonight!" "Rudolf looks at him outside, “We surely come with you everywhere you go," he says slowly, chuckling as he checks the time with his eyes rising to the wall clock, “Is your clock active Glen?" he asks. Doc Glen replied, "Yes, it's updated," as Rudolf's general health check-up began, and Doc Glen realized his previous health background and history.
"You really need an X-ray for your backbone," Doc Glen advises as he directs Rudolf to enter the X-ray room with clear instructions, which Rudolf fully understands. Rudolf and Rhoda play with perplexed bricks with Robert when the results of the x-rays are released, as they are curious about the results of the x-rays. Doctor Glen smiled as he exited, his gaze fixated on
Rudolf was so amused by Robert's brilliance in resolving the puzzle block. "How are the results coming along, Doc Glen?" "Rhoda is the one who asks first." Everything looked to have cleared up, and his previous history of backbone fractures appeared to be magically aligned as it should be," Doctor Glen said solemnly.
"Did you hear what Doc Glen said, honey?" "Yes, Honey, God has done a wondrous sign to me," Rudolf testifies, his eyes rising above closed and tears streaming down his cheeks. "It's a miracle of God after you've been conducting the massage therapy since then, I haven't encountered any backbone pains," Rudolf explains.
"I want to glorify and worship your wonderful God, Honey," Rudolf continued. "I'm entirely cured by your Great God!" "As he embraces Rhoda, tears stream down his cheeks like a river." Do you mean you haven't had another checkup since you started massage therapy? "Doctor Glen asks Rudolf, his eyes bulging with inquiries.
"Not any longer!" Rudolf exclaimed while Rhoda looked surprised, realizing she had the gift of healing through faith in Jesus Christ, and she was left alone while Rudolf and Doctor Glen continued to converse and discuss Rudolf's miraculous healing. "Praise God for the gloriously healing. I’m also convinced of your healing through faith in Jesus Christ, “Doctor Glen declared.
"Come on Robert, we'll see your health, “Doctor Glen said to Robert, who stood quietly beside his mother. "Robert, you need supplementary multivitamins now for your growing up, since you're going on a long journey, you keep this prescription for buying it in any drug stores,” Doctor Glen said quietly to Robert gazing intently to him.
"Everything is fine under God's protection," Doctor Glen says, adding, "If you're not leaving yet tonight, I’d like to invite you to our open community Christian Sunday service and fellowship with other born-again Christians. Most of us are U.S. Military bases office and facilities staff, associates, and armies who have been converted, transformed, and sanctified through repentance by the grace of faith in Jesus Christ.”
"Thank you, Doc. Glen, perhaps, some other time when God brings us back together here and join with you as U.S. Military base staff," "The love of God has kindled deep within has been sparked by the love of God," Rudolf replied as they both stared introspectively.
"I've also been reminded by our association of medical missions to ensure that my patients who will be traveling soon take some precautionary measures against covid-19 contaminations. You should be fully vaccinated before you go with approval from the World Health Organization qualified to travel or transferred locations," Doctor Glen reminded both Rudolf and Rhoda.
"The authorities proclaimed a 'LOCKDOWN' in a specific region, and we're all compelled to obey in allegiance to the law of the land," doctor Glen said to the Wagner family before they left. "Thank you very much for all of the vital information that helps us be aware of the contradictory methods that are heading our way," Rudolf accepts Doctor Glen's warnings and concerns with humility as the two of them slowly walked out after hugging and saying goodbye.
It was wonderful to meet a brother in Christ-like Doctor Glenmore MacDowell of the United States military-based medical mission team.
The mission team acquired all of the information on the Wagner family's medical check-ups, health history background, and diagnostic results to be saved in files for future use. The couple pays their bills at the counter and walks outside as Rudolf says, "Can we have a cup of coffee, honey?" "Rudolf asked Rhoda to smile."Ah, you reminded me of something from the past, honey," Rhoda said as they smiled and added Robert to their happy celebration as they searched for a grocery store similar to a 7-11 minimarket where they could eat and buy some basic necessities in case of emergency. “Robert has to start eating solid foods now, honey!" "Mummy, like it, eat, eat,” Robert said as
Rhoda guffawed at her sons' progress. “Stammering again,” Rudolf teased as he began looking for things inside the grocery shop while Rhoda went on her way to order a meal to the counter area and get a table for her family.
They also look for medicine and supplements for pregnancy, as well as Robert's diaper and Rudolf's disposable towels and tissues in drug stores. She always remembers hot coffee for Rudolf and milk for Robert, while she requires sanitation for health reasons and multivitamins for pregnant women.
prays quietly at an eyeblink, saying, “in Jesus' Christ mighty name, Amen," she whispers and unnoticed Rudolf and Robert rush towards her in excitement to start a delicious meal as a celebration for the coming new member of the family as they pray before it, “OH my God, have mercy and be good to all of us sinners as we needed you crucially,” Rhoda pray quietly at an eyeblink, saying, “in Jesus' Christ mighty name, Amen."
The kids are still playing cards when they're done, and Rhoda has surreptitiously ordered French fries for all of them while Rudolf and Robert approach her. "Mum mummy!" exclaims the son. "Robert cried out as Rudolf rushed forward because it was getting dark. “I’m rushing to catch up with you sweetie,” Rhoda exclaimed. "You better hurry honey dear, time is up to go and meet the rescued team out there,” Rudolf demanded.
Rhoda grabbed all the shopping bags and quickly left the street kids eating French fries behind to catch up with the rushing family towards the airways.
Rhoda's spirit is still high, as she has been lifted up by God following Rudolf's miraculous healing and the positive results of her early pregnancy, as well as Robert's good health.On the other hand, the pandemic situation and the demand for compelling obedience push her to pray quietly and talk to God for protection, pleading for the blood of Jesus Christ to atone her family against the attack of the coronavirus, which is present everywhere.
"God saves and protects us, and heals those who have been contaminated and infected by this contagious deadly virus, in Jesus' mighty name, we declared protection, healing, and provision for the hungry, needy, and helpless, Amen!"Rhoda raised her eyes to heaven when she noticed the stars that beautifully decorated the dark sky, saying, "I've been preoccupied this whole day and neglected the time rushing after dusky twilight, But, my God, I'm so enamored with your majesty and the beauty of your holiness," she exclaimed as Robert exclaimed, "Mum mum, come!"
"While Rudolf began to chuckle as he watched her gaze up at the sky, he too stared up, indicating the twinkling starry night to Robert. They enjoy seeing the constellations in outer space despite the fact that they are trying to catch up with the rescued squad and meet them.
"Wife, I'm not religious like you, but I'm so amazed of God's goodness to us expecting more of His revelation in signs and wonders to all who have fear of Him." Rudolf shared with Rhoda as they gazed up at the starry night. "I don't know if God can still forgive me because I'm conscious of what I did but never knew God's truth yet in those times."
"Honey, God created us according to His image and His plan for us is to bless us and share with us His glory in his Heavenly Kingdom and in return is to worship Him in spirit and in truth as we give Him all the glory, praises and thanks and turn away from false gods in our life.
But since our forefathers destroyed the intimacy between God and man when poor Adam and Eve disobey God's instructions, sins began in the life of man and we all fall short of His glory. Jesus Christ, the Second person of the Trinity offers Himself as an atonement to satisfy God's wrath against our sins which are evil in His sight.
Only Jesus Christ has the right to save us and return the broken relationship caused by sins. Though Jesus is sinless, He considers Himself a sinner to fulfill the plan of redemption. Its fulfilled in His death on the cross which pleases God as he offers His blood to pay for our salvation and the victory gained when father God resurrected Him from death and we also gain new life through Jesus Christ's unconditional love for mankind to show how God loves His people. God Loves You as He created you in His image.
Just believe and trust God, seek him, talk to Him in your heart, He lives once you accepted Jesus Christ as your redeemer who ransomed his life to reconcile us with God, our relationship and intimacy were destroyed when we were still sinners, but once we received his grace of faith, then we started to believe God and accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior." Rhoda explains.
Our past sins will be cleansed by His bloodshed on the cross until He died in the Calvary, we died with Him because of our sins, when He resurrected from death, we also gained new life with Him and were reborn in Spirit, and our old self has gone, what is left is new life, new person, new spirit from Jesus Christ, and we will live eternally with Him in His kingdom in heaven.
Do you accept Jesus Christ and His love as your Lord and redeemer now, Honey? "Yes, of course, I embrace and receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior because He healed my aches," Rudolf added. "Pray after me, Mr. Rudolf Wagner," Rhoda urged.
Rudolf open his mouth to pray with Rhoda as they both stared up at the starry sky,”Jesus Christ my Lord and God, I accept You as my one and only savior and God. I confess and declare with my lips that You are my Lord and God as I honestly confess my sins, all my unholy thoughts and actions, and those I haven't recognized yet," They pray continuously,
"I repent and ask you to forgive me, trusting in your unending love and forgiveness as I lay down at your feet with all my sins and thank you for shedding your holy blood for the forgiveness of all my sins, and from now on, I surrender my life to you with faith and trust in your promises, as I accept Jesus Christ Your only Son who saved me from eternal death of sins, Amen"
Rhoda is thankful and gives glory to God since the guy whom God has given to her is now giving His life as he embraced Jesus Christ as His personal Lord and redeemer in that path walk while Robert is with them seeing the magnificent stars in the skies.Chapter Eight[ The Isolation] It was dusk, the path walk was narrow, and the couple, Rudolf, who was carrying Robert in his full arm, seemed bewildered by the tragic pandemic situation, which Rhoda was also concerned about for her family's protection. "What are we going to do?"Rhoda asks. "What does God say?" Rudolf returns the questions to Rhoda softly. Rudolf approaches his wife with a good tone and attitude. Since Rudolf has been turning to her with inquiries, Rhoda has been quickly creeping into her thoughts on what God says in the Bible as she mentions,” ‘Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plan,' we pray, ‘Make me know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your courses' (Ps.25:4). God says, ‘Look carefully then how you walk, not as fools but as wise,'(Eph5:15), and as we continue to pray for His guidance, ‘So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.'(Ps 90:12), because, ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise w
Chapter Nine [Lockdown] The military armed forces are never afraid of lockdowns or pandemics because their job is to defend the nation's constitution and protect the planet from dangerous attacks by invisible enemies. To be a part of isolated helpless humanity is a great insult for one rescued team member in case they plan to recruit Rudolf to join their forces while he stays inside the military bases in the country. They left after Rudolf and his family were taken into custody by a medical mission team from a US military base, who was in charge of checking out and protecting people's health and safety by taking appropriate precautions. "What are you thinking, honey?" they ask as they stroll. "Rudolf inquires."I'm thinking about our life in a pandemic lockdown situation," Rhoda responded."We'll be compelled to obey many times," Rudolf suggests."It'll be a boring situation for all people who used to work day and night as their lifestyle," Rhoda added."What do you usually do when you
Chapter Ten[Quarantine in the community] “As far as we're concerned, we all require food to exist, as well as to become healthy and strong in order to establish a robust immune system capable of combating the coronavirus, which originated in China.” the speaker of the meeting said. “I'm also considering how we can slip out and obtain our food,” Rhoda started adding, “given that we've already established that many of the people here are poor. US military personnel did not appear to be affected by the food scarcity.”Rhoda said. “We have already seen that the United States has been sending maintenance subsidies to American nationals and citizens like myself.” Rudolf explains adding, “you and our children are not yet eligible for the benefits and privileges that we enjoy from our federal government.”Rudolf slowly implies. “This is one of my primary objectives to bring you to the United States and apply for your green card,” Rudolf said. "It's im
Chapter Eleven[Stay safe at home] "Come in for dinner! Thank You, Lord. We have food," Rhoda exclaims as the two rush over to her. "Yes, Sweetie," Rhoda responds quickly, adding,' For the Lord God says, 'For I know my plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' The Lord also declares,' Then you will call me and I will answer you,' says the Lord again.” as Rhoda ponders God’s message father and son look at each other nodding. Despite the loud honking of the law enforcement officer's roving patrol truck, which is hunting for people who have broken the curfew hours, Robert began eating his oats and Rudolf enjoyed the dinner that Rhoda prepares for them that evening. Rudolf seems to have a question for Rhoda. Rudolf asks quickly, "Do you want to tell me about your day with the fellow in the distribution area?" "You've been really qui
Chapter Twelve[Vaccination in large numbers] Even if cars are prevented to transport. Most people are compelled to follow the mass vaccination and must come and be injected with the available medicine. Rudolf is the only member of the family qualified for the vaccine because Rhoda is pregnant and Robert is still under the age of 18. "I hope you understand your responsibility to yourself, Honey," Rhoda hints. "What do you mean?" Rudolf inquires. “Even if you haven't been told, you need to be fully vaccinated and you have the numbers already from Dr.Glen." Rhoda clarifies as she adjusts Rudolf's polo shirt's collar, he's ready to leave Rhoda and Robert at home. “Bye Daddy," as Robert waves his hands Rudolf never forgets to kiss Rhoda and Robert. When Rudolf returns, he exclaims, "Honey, I shall miss you!" "I wish I could have vaccination right now," Rudolf says as he
Chapter Thirteen[The healing garden] After Rudolf's first immunization, the Wagner family obtains a decent night's sleep. Rudolf's adverse effects from the vaccine presented themselves at midnight in a feverish condition. He had slept so long that morning, in contrast to the previous day, that they awakened early to torture Rhoda and his child. "The sun is rising, and the rays are becoming more powerful," Rhoda shouts as Robert follows. "Come daddy, eat!" Robert exclaims as he cuddles and kisses his father. "Honey, are you able?" she inquires as she cuddles and kisses him as well. "Honey, I feel weird this morning as if my body weakens and my bones tremble when I attempt to move and get up," Rudolf explains slowly. "I know, it's a reaction of your body system to the vaccine," she agrees. "You take breakfast first, then paracetamol to bring down your body temperature, and I'll put fresh drinking wa
Chapter Fourteen[ The dancing Armymen] It's a bright Sunday morning and the thick dark clouds that appear in the atmosphere seemed quickly rushing towards the ocean.”Now, God has given us the favor to go out and worship Him in the community of believers,” Rhoda state slowly while Rudolf’s read the Bible and Robert enjoys his toys. "Let's all get ready!" Rhoda exclaims as she rises and Rudolf makes his way to the bathroom for a hot shower. "Take your food honey baby," she says as Robert walks over to her and takes his proper seat. "Honey, you're here," Rhoda smiled. "Take your favorite coffee, bread, and butter with ham," Robert insists."Mom,I like bread too," "Good idea, It's for you," Rudolf teases Robert."Hurry!" Rhoda instructs Robert, his eyes wide open, "not too fast sweetie pie, You might have stomach discomfort if you don't bite the bread into small pieces, nibble it carefully, and swallow them all at
Chapter Fifteen[ The Post tantrums] "Look at our boy!" says the mother. “Is he sick? I just gave him the baby's paracetamol syrup. He has a bit of fever," Rudolf explained, adding, "It shouldn't disturb you because of our new baby," he whispered as Rhoda pressed her hand against Robert's face and said, "Our boy needs fever reliever every 3 hours, honey.”She said. Rudolf mentioned, "I previously wiped him with a wet damp rag all over to reduce his fever." He said. "He needs a bit of rest. Since it's his first time intermingling with many people in the church last Sunday. He might be stressed," Rudolf adds. "I also discovered that someone touched him, and we're still in the middle of a pandemic, Honey," Rhoda counters. Rhoda shrieked, "Robert may easily get infected." "I know, I know," Rudolf said. Rhoda began giving Robert a gentle body massage, concentrating on his hands and feet, while Rudolf was paying attention to her. "How come you aren't doing
It's past half past midnight, and Rhoda is battling between life and death inside the emergency room. Rudolf has been watching her outside the glass partitions, waiting for the doctors' diagnostic results. His heart is racing. He appears unable to accept the loss of his beloved wife. He prays earnestly to God for compassion and mercy. He's thankful for having a wife like Rhoda and is so happy with her. He doesn't have any complaints about her. He's begging with supplication and requests for more extension of Rhoda's life. She's still young to go home. She still has many things to accomplish and people will be happy with her life as she shares it with them. "Oh God, Father Almighty, the Great Healer, heal Rhoda, my wife. I needed her and I love her so much," Rudolf cries, tears streaming down his beard Robert and Ruth rush towards him, teary-eyed. "How is Mommy, Dad?" Robert softly asks. "Your mommy is still unconscious since I found her in the seacoast where we used to stroll
Chapter forty-four[The Night trip] It is very dark along the entire road leading to the Southern California Airport Terminal. It has amazing weather that is favorable for travelers. The sisters are determined to travel to where their parents went on a mission in order to obtain accurate information about their mother. "I can't bear the thought of losing our mommy. She promised not to leave us. I know how much mommy loves our daddy and us." Julia concluded as the car passed along the northern seacoast highway. "And I can't believe mommy ran away from their lovely nest. I'm just wondering why they separated to work in the mission field while leaving her as a couple of missionary pastors?" Carina's voice cracks as she talks with Andrea, who is busy dialing different contact numbers to check on their mother's whereabouts. After a few hours, they boarded flights straight to the NAIA in the Philippines. On the other hand, due to ongoing terrorist a
Chapter forty-three[Family emergency calls] Carina, the youngest daughter, is now an 18-year-old young beautiful lady. The eldest son is 25 years old and a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education graduate. While Ruth was studying Psychoalaytic Psychiatry at the university and will be graduating this year. Andrea is 21 years old and is studying for a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education as well as Basic Pastoral Theology at Bible school. She aspires to be a missionary pastor like her parents. Julia stays at home, managing the small coffee shop and pet shop her parents established as sources of daily income, while also pursuing a bachelor's degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management and Business administration at the university. Carina appears to miss her parents, who have been serving in the mission for quite some time. Carina became a church worker after studying theology in Bible schools. She was alw
Chapter Forty-two[The Holy Anointing] It's getting back to normal." A new normal! " Rudolf smiles slightly. "The big barn crowded our backyard." He whispers while Rhoda fixes the beddings. "Now it's only an open meadow through the apple trees that remain. Would you like to visit our nest, honey?" Rudolf inquires of his wife "I need to finish fixing our children's rooms, honey. It would be best to do it now while they're all in school and Carina is sleeping. Why do you want us to go to the old barn house now?" She inquires. "I wanted to get your thoughts on my plan to use the barn house as our family chapel." Rudolf expresses. "I received word from our Senior Pastor Kris that the associates and elders are praying for my anointing as Assistant Senior Pastor of the Remnant Church of Christ and Ministry very soon. I'm considering using our Barn house as a House of Prayers for all of us so that we have a place during our
Chapter Forty-one[Bedtime stories] Hours must have passed and the family is unaware of it. They are used to people coming in and spending time in their coffee shops. And into that evening, Rhoda kept an eye on her children, whom she had missed for so long. ”Mommy! " Her four growing children exclaim with delight. "Finally, I have what I wanted all along through you, my darling babies. Now that you're presence is complete here," Rhoda says as she holds Carina in her arms. She strokes them one by one, embracing and kissing them with love and care. "It took me years to be with you. Although I can see you while I was unconsciously in my spiritual state and I was trying to speak with you while you were playing. And I saw little Carina crying as your daddy watched my physical body lying on a bed. I know it all but all of you were unable to hear and see me while I was a spirit." Rhoda continues, and her children listen
Chapter Forty{In His own perfect time] Everyone got up early and prepared for school."Good morning! Do you need any assistance with your school bag, Kids? " Rhoda questions the kids as they rush out the door. " Thank you, Mommy, but we can already manage to carry it all," Robert responds quickly, gasping, as they are all excited to face their classmates and teachers after the family's previous tribulations. "I'm really excited about returning to school. But for some reason, as the time approaches, the thought of panicking strikes me." Ruth exclaims as she turns her gaze towards her mother, who has been separated from them for a long time. "How would I cope with the loss of our dear mother, whom we adore?" "Don't jump to conclusions about past events that were unavoidable." Andrea quickly responded, "You also watch your word that daddy may not hear you. He will be the first and foremost to be hurt if mommy r
Chapter Thirty-nine[God's unconditional love] Rhoda notices a man riding a donkey in the distance. As he approaches, she tosses her coat into the ground. Suddenly, she hears strange sounds. A man is cutting down fig tree branches because he has found no fruits on it and he is very hungry. Then she heard voices again. This time it was a woman's voice saying, "God sent you to me tonight!" Those are the parting words from the woman in front of her as she gets ready for her flight to somewhere she doesn't recognize. The man arrived in a white robe that sparkled like crystal white, but he was splattered with red blood all over his body. The man's eyes looked at her and said, "Come! " She turned around to look for her family and saw Rudolf standing in front of a bed on which a woman was lying unconscious and dying. She turns around again, and her young children are a little further away, playing innocently as if they w
Chapter Thirty-eight[ [Accident while horseback riding] "Are you preoccupied? " Pastor Kris inquires about Rudolf and Rhoda's home visits that day. "We have plans to start our business here," Rudolf responds. "Our Church has decided to go on a family camping trip somewhere in the Northern region. This is important for all candidates for Basic Pastoral Theology graduation." Pastor Kris elaborates, "The Candidates will give an opportunity to share the Gospels in three regions. It's time for all of you to realize life camp of seeing God's works as we cooperate together as students and ministry workers." "At the same time, we will experience beautiful Pastor's things that are visible last forever as shining jewels and a crown as we experience spiritual healing through the Gospel and evangelism." Pastor Kris requires Rudolf and Rhoda to attend the camp seminars as a training ground for their Practical Theological education in preparati
Chapter Thirty-seven[ The Feeding Program] “This early morning, the weather is neither cold nor hot. The fog appears to dissipate as the sunrise gleams from the east. What a beautiful morning today!" "Rudolf says as he stands in front of the gate, stretching and bending his musculature body and long-legged body built under the gleamy windy atmospheres. "At long last, we can move into our newly renovated and painted house. Shall we start moving in, Honey?" He invited Rhoda, who is preparing breakfast with Aunt Chel and Rachel. Rudolf appears to be alive and enthusiastic as he gets up early in the morning. Unlike any other early morning in San Diego, Rudolf appears eager to move and become a leader of a civic action program after resolving the previous uncontrollable, unavoidable situations that they have encountered with his deceased childhood playmates. "I never realized that a great awakening c
