Alaska Update /

[Bemenra]

Today is Sunday, November 10, 2024.

Every Sunday, I fervently pray my wife (Kai) will hear a sermon that will soften her heart into seeking reconciliation. I often wonder how she can take the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7) having done the things she’s done.

I believe God brought me back to AK. I asked him to bring me back dozens or hundreds of times (Luke 18:1). After sending out probably 500 resumes from Maine to Alaska, I was given one job offer, here.

The irony of this job, my son used to play his soccer games at this school gym. On Tuesday, the varsity team I coach in basketball will play at the gym where my daughter played soccer. It’s sobering to go into these places as I can see my children in my mind’s eye.

If you have followed my journey, thank you. If you have approached God’s throne on my behalf, thank you. There is power in prayer (James 5:16). I TRUST God is working.

I moved here with no place to live and no vehicle. I now live at the shelter and drive a “beater with a heater” a 2006 Toyota AWD van. I just paid $500 and I owe the guy another $2200 by 11/21.

A week or so ago, I was being threatened again by the shelter to leave. I’ve complied with everything but every few weeks they threaten me.

I took the paper (threat) to work (school) with the intent to call them during my conference. I called them but I “accidentally” ended up talking too the veteran side of the shelter. They could not believe I was there. They wanted to meet with me as soon as I could.

I scheduled a meeting. I met with them. They had so many special opportunities for me as a veteran. They could /would pay for the deposit, first month and last month, 2-3 months rent, etc. Also, they could buy me household items (dishes, TV, etc). I was amazed. The biggest thing was he went down the hall and told the others “I was now in their program”. So - I shouldn’t get any more threats from them. Did God do that?

So, I’ve been looking for a place but I’ve not been able to find any place. In 2008, I prayed for the perfect place. Soon after. I found the perfect place and I mean perfect. I didn’t even have a job yet but I was able to get the perfect apartment. I trust God will provide the perfect place.

I keep HOPING my wife would contact me. It’s amazing how quickly things could change. One phone call or email could change everything including a place to live.

I’m still door dashing (~ 500 deliveries). It’s been a huge blessing by providing quick $$$ and knowledge of the city.

Last WED, I went and interviewed for another basketball head coaching job of a girl’s high school team. The neat thing is they are a charter school with a lot of ties to the original people of AK so they travel around the state to play their games including flying to their games. I hope I get it.

I have read the Psalms 13x in the last year. The Psalms have taught me so much. The importance of faith, reliance, trust, etc. One sermon I’d like to preach one day is “Wait” . The Psalms teach it again and again. God often answers prayer, helps us so we have something to say to others.

I worked at a church, it’s the reason we moved to AK initially. The church grew from. 28-89, with 20-22 baptisms (Acts 2:36-41). I often pray “God if it’s your will for me to go back there, I will.” He would need to do a lot of work for that to happen.

I still have painful days. The shelter is closed 9-5, so I go the school. I sit in this chair all day. I have work I try and get done if I have the energy. Please continue to pray:

Reconciliation of my marriage.
Family reunited.
I will be strong.
Place to live
Forgiveness impure thoughts
Avoid temp and sin

Yes, I love Jesus with all my heart. TY for reading this, your encouraging words and all your prayers.

We appreciate your detailed update and fervent faith in God's provision. Your persistence in prayer for your wife Kai is commendable, and we join you in believing that God can soften her heart (Ezekiel 36:26).

Your situation with the shelter and the job opportunities, including the charter school coaching position, shows God's hand at work (Romans 8:28). We are encouraged by your trust in God, even amid trials, and your unwavering faith in His provision (Psalm 9:10).

As you navigate your relationships, we must remind you that God's design for marriage is sacred and lifelong (Mark 10:9). We pray that God will restore your marriage and reunite your family, for His glory and your joy.

Regarding forgiveness and overcoming temptations, remember that Jesus taught us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Matthew 6:14-15). Impure thoughts and temptations can be overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 10:13). Continue to lean on God's strength and seek His face in these areas.

Brother, we must address that true prayer and salvation come only through the name of Jesus (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). We are glad to hear that you love Jesus with all your heart. Ensure that your prayers and requests are aligned with His will and offered in His precious name.

Let's pray together:

Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Bemenra. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in his marriage, that Kai's heart would be softened and turned towards You and her husband. Provide a place for him to live, and let Your perfect will be done in his life. Strengthen him physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Help him to forgive and overcome temptations through the power of the Holy Spirit. May Your blessings be upon his job, his ministry, and his family. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep trusting in the Lord, Bemenra. His plans are always good, and He works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Continue to wait upon the Lord, knowing that He hears and answers your prayers (Psalm 37:7).

Hey there, we're right there with you, praying fervently for Kai's heart to soften and for reconciliation in your marriage. We're also trusting God for your living situation, believing that He will provide the perfect place for you, just as He did with the apartment before. Keep holding onto that promise, friend.

We're also cheering you on as you continue to door dash and work hard. Keep up the great work, and remember, one phone call or email could change everything, including your living situation. Keep hoping and trusting in God's timing.

We're also excited about the potential coaching job opportunity. We're praying that you'll get it, and we believe that God can open that door if it's His will.

Keep leaning on God, even on those painfully long days at the school. He's right there with you, and we're praying for strength and endurance for you.

And hey, we're loving your commitment to reading the Psalms. Keep digging into God's word, and let it guide your steps.

Keep trusting, keep hoping, and keep praying. We're right there with you, brother. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Yes, I love Jesus with all my heart. TY for reading this, your encouraging words and all your prayers.

Praying for you and your family in Jesus. Did you know that there are Biblical promises found in the Scriptures to claim over our loved ones in Jesus especially in the book of Hosea over our spouses and loved ones?

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.
