Prodigal Daughter ~ The Great Awakening

As I move forward with my life, fully devoted to my Father who is in Heaven, I'm ready to share some key aspects of my life with you. I'll start from the beginning...in the end it leads to the great awakening.

Prodigal Daughter

My maiden name is Maria Emilia Gomes, I was born on September 27, 1968, in Newark, NJ at St. James Hospital. In total, we were a Family of 13, I am 1 of 11 children, the 6th oldest and youngest. I was the Firstborn in the United States. My 5 older siblings were born in Portugal and my 5 younger siblings were born here in the US. I have an older brother who had passed before I was born. I have a unique feature, a birthmark, it resembles both the Letter Z and a Lightning Bolt.

Gen 2:8, 9 (trees)
Matt 5:18 (smallest letter)
Luke 23: 44 (6th hour, 9th hour) Balance
Exodus 3:14 (I will become)
Rev 22:13 (Alpha and Omega)

See blog post: 

My parents, Jose and Idalina, came here from Portugal in 1967. Both of my parents spoke fluent Portuguese, but all 4 of my older siblings went to Wilson Ave. School in Newark and learned how to speak English pretty quickly. So, I became fluent in both, Portuguese and English, as brothers and sisters we spoke to each other in English, but to my parents we spoke in Portuguese.

Acts 4:13 (ordinary men, childlike)

By the time I was born my mother was already studying to become a Jehovah's Witness, converting from her Catholic faith, she would attend the Portuguese Kingdom Hall on Mott St. in Newark. There, is where I learned to read and write in Portuguese, from the Portuguese Bible and from some additional literature. My favorite book until this day was "My Book of Bible Stories." I remember being very little, 4 or 5 years old, I was just learning how to write. I was sitting at the Kingdom Hall next to my mom and I got so excited because I learned how to write and spell my last name "Gomes", I also have a vague memory of writing Jesus Cristo (Christ) too.

2 Tim 3:15 (infancy)
Luke 10:42 (good portion)
Luke 10:22 (reveal him to)

I remember thinking Jehovah (Jeova') was my Father and that Jesus was my brother, I truly believed they were my family. I knew them both personally, Father and Son. I remember having conversations with Jehovah in Spirit, Sacred Secrets. Even though I didn't see him, I knew he was present. I loved them both dearly, they were my family, I clearly remember that now. Although, many of my memories are still a bit of a fog, many have come back to me. In 1977 I went to Portugal for the first time, I remember being at the beach early morning and there was an intense fog, you could barely see the ocean, I remember how peaceful it felt, playing in the sand and always looking up to the heavens and smiling, a very special moment.

1 Peter 3:4 (secret of the heart)
2 Cor 6: 16-18 (son/daughter)

I was very close to my mom, some would say I was attached at the hip. I was a very happy little girl, close to my Father in Heaven. Jehovah made me smile often, he taught me to appreciate the beauty of Nature, the colors of the Rainbow, the clouds, the bugs, flowers and trees, even the large Dew drop on the leaf and the snowfall, I appreciated it all, it brought me such happiness. I often looked up at the skies and smiled, makes me want to cry every time I think about it. I missed it tremendously.

Ecc 3:15 (joy)

Much had changed since then. Having a big family was not always easy, as I got older and started school, I started to realize people thought differently than I did, I couldn't make sense of it and slowly became very disheartened, crushed in spirit. Although I loved going to school, I didn't like certain things that happened.

Psalm 34:18 (crushed in spirit)

I have a memory that has always stayed with me, going back to 1st grade at Wilson Ave. School in Newark and going to the auditorium, a boy named Q sat down next to me. We were in the front row in the first 2 seats at the end, we sat down and Q kissed me on the cheek. It was the first time I can remember being really upset as a child, I remember running to the teacher and telling her about it, and crying about it to my mother later on that day. That's just one, of many things, that started to change how I felt about life and people. It's as if I were living in a bubble and then it suddenly popped. Slowly, I started to lose my way, until I became completely lost.

Matt 18: 12-14 (lost sheep)
Luke 22:48 (Judas betrayal)
Ephesians 6:12 (Struggle with darkness)

I've since returned to Jehovah in 2019, it started with me attending the Memorial of Jesus Christ. My greatest Joy was attending the "Love Never Fails" Jehovah's Witness Convention in July at the Mohegan Sun in PA. It had very special meaning for me, especially on the last day, one that can be explained, but not understood. Going there was in great contrast to when my boys and I appeared on FOX News when attending the Trump Rally the previous year, we had VIP seats. 

Note: It amazed me that no (DOD) security check was ever made. We weren't invited to sit there; my boys and their friend saw empty seats and took it upon themselves to sit there, with no resistance we remained. As others arrived, they were made to take off their tags for VIP's. I saddened me to think we took someone else's seats, but I figured they probably received some kind of upgrade. I would have never thought that exactly one year later I would return to the Mohegan Sun to attend the convention (assembly) for JW's.   *It's all connected, see below.

Excerpt...
"The very last day of the assembly, as we got on the highway heading home, the vision in the sky, a beautiful array of cumulus clouds was spread across the skies. As I was looking out the window admiring the skies, as I often did and still do, I suddenly started paying close attention to the clouds, they were beyond beautiful that day.

As I was looking at the clouds, one in particular suddenly stood out, I had to do a double take...I was caught in Time. My hands pressed against the car window, I had instant butterflies in my stomach, and for a moment, it actually caught my breath, Awe-Inspiring to say the least. It was a massive cloud, it looked like it went from the Heavens to the ground here on Earth. The sun rays where shining through it in an array of rainbow colors, the most beautiful and familiar feeling in the world.

"I saw it before, as a child, exactly as it was", there was no doubt in my mind.
At that very moment, I knew Jehovah was with me and reminding me."

Psalms 18:1-3 (secure refuge, rock)

See blog post:

Since I pretty much studied the entire Bible from beginning to the end, then back to the beginning. I learned the bible does speak to us individually. The 2 books I've never forgotten as a child were the Book of Genesis and The Book of Revelation. It's a book of instruction, guidance that is unique to each of us. There's a message there for everyone. I received mine. In time, I made a decision to return to the Portuguese Kingdom Hall, the language that speaks to the heart.

Gen 3:15 - (enmity)
Rev 10: 1-3 (little scroll)
Gal 4:26 (Jerusalem above)
Rev 19:7 (Lambs wife)
Rev 21:2, 9 (Lambs wife)

The book Proverbs - Wisdom is personified as a woman. The (NWT) is the only Bible I've read thus far that doesn't reflect that.

1 Corinthians 1:24 ASV — but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Matthew 6:21 (treasure)
Proverbs 3:3-6 (loyal love)

I had a closeness with Jehovah that no words can ever explain, and it didn't need to be, it was a personal bond, it felt normal to me. I called to him in Portuguese ~ Jeova' and Pai, (Father). I would say "Jeová é o meu Pai" meaning, Jehovah is my Father. I would also say "Eu amo te Jeová e Jesus também" I love you Jehovah and Jesus too. Spoken from the heart, the language that speaks to my Spirit, Sacred Secrets. I'm so thankful to have that connection with Jehovah through Jesus Christ once again.

John 17:3 ASV — And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

John 17:26 ASV — and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

1 Cor 14:2 (sacred secrets)
Matthew 5:48 (be perfect)
Luke 1:45, 49 (she believed, great deeds for me, Holy is his name)

I've always maintained that I wasn't part of this world. I couldn't fit in, I couldn't adapt, soon enough, that happy bright smile turned dim. Hence the reason for the multiple suicide attempts, starting with my early teens to adulthood. The fact that I survived the last attempt on my life amazes me, it was well over a decade ago, but for what I did to myself, I should not be here.

1 Cor 3:16 (God's temple)
Matt 10:28 (cannot kill the soul)

KEY FACTS

I have 2 tattoos, one on my lower back, looks just like a weed, never liked it and one across my lower abdomen of 2 lilies that took 6 hours.

Hosea 14:5 (Lily and Dew) - Due
Psalms 45, 60, 69, 80 Reminder of the lilies.
Matt 13:24-30, 36-43 (Weeds)

Why is 9/11 important to me?
  • I worked across from the Twin Towers in NY, I left 3 years before they came down. I had friends who still worked there when it happened.
  • My mom passed away on 9/11/11 and my dad passed away (14) days later, so I lost both of my parents 9/11. 
  • I became barren and had an urgent hysterectomy on 9/11/20.

Two Cherubs of the Most Holy...

Heb 9:5 ASV - and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

2Cor 12:2, 4 (14, third heaven - mind)

God has a purpose. He is a God of order. Satan will not stop Jehovah's purpose, no matter how hard he tries. God's Will, will be done. He will Sanctify His name and He will be vindicated.

Matt 6:9-13 (Model Prayer)
Prov 6:34 (jealousy makes a husband mad)

The greatest gift God could give me was Joy and that comes from Pure Love! He is my Father and I will be in his presence one day. The Beginning of the End. Full circle of life (the Ring) and Jehovah has blessed mine.

Matt 5:3, 8 (Kingdom of the Heavens) (pure in heart)
Luke 7:35 (wisdom proved righteous by all her children.)
John 3: 6 (spirit is spirit)
Matt 24: 21, 22 (great tribulation, chosen ones)

The woman first...

Revelation 11:7 ASV — And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

Matthew 24:29 ASV — But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

These witnesses are known by the enemy...

Revelation 11:11-12 ASV — And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Jeremiah 33:15-16 ASV — In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness.

The seed... "Her children"

Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

Matthew 24:31 ASV — And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Satan who controls the Antichrist that controls the False Prophet...

Ephesians 6:12 ASV — For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

MEPS: US Military (Controlled by High Powered Ones - Antichrist/Satan)
MEPS stands for Military Entrance Processing Station. Once you have gone through initial questioning phases with your recruiter and have discussed your options, your recruiter will set an appointment for you to go to the nearest MEPS.

Revelation 13:12 ASV — And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.

MEPS: JW Organization (False Prophet/Antichrist/Satan)
(Multilanguage Electronic Publishing System)
(Formerly called Multilanguage Electronic Phototypesetting System)

Matthew 24:5 ASV — For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray.

Revelation 13:11 ASV — And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The JW Org is like a lamb, they claim to be Christ (anointed) yet, one MUST BOW DOWN and admit they are Christ before one can be accepted and be baptized.

The faithful and discreet slave is an anointed one, it's a title they bear false witness to. Not only do they give false witness to it, but they also make you bow down to them and accept it. You MUST say yes to the following question, Bow Down to them, before they allow you to be baptized. 

From their list of questions, you MUST say yes to...

QUESTIONS FOR THOSE DESIRING TO GET BAPTIZED
Part 1: Christian Beliefs

14. Do you believe that the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is “the faithful and discreet slave” appointed by Jesus?• “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?”​—Matt. 24:45.

They persecute you for questioning them and their teachings. One must accept what they teach because they claim it's from God himself. You are told that you are not to dig deep into scripture, they give out the food. They teach you to go to Christ and God's word, but then they teach you it's their version of God's word and you MUST accept it. 

These leaders do it in a "loving/seducing" way, just like a lamb, seducing millions into following them.

Matthew 19:18 ASV — He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

*** re chap. 12 p. 60 “Keep On Holding Fast What You Have” ***
They Will Bow Down to You
