The phone rings:
“We are heading to Mt. Shasta to blow the shofar on the 9th of Av and we also need to get to Sedona to blow there,” Emmeline declares.
“When are you going? We are also heading to Sedona, Mike just reserved yesterday for us to be there for a week. We felt a pull to get there. We are going the last week of July,” I answered.
She continued to say, “You know that will be right on the 9th of Av, again we are aligning and no coincidence. Can you meet at the Grand Canyon thereafter?”
After reflecting back on the significance of this date, this prompted Mike and I to contact several people who blow the shofar as well. 9th of Av is not a commanded Feast for us to keep, but it is the day that the other kingdom gets together to create havoc, their day of worship. We were coming up against evil forces, not a time for us to sit down and wait to see what will happen, but an opportunity to go out and stand our ground with the protection of the Almighty. We were aligning our prayers with many that day. Several brothers and sisters in the faith stood on high places on Kauai, Chico, Ca, Mt. Shasta, Big Bear, Mt. Baldy, Whittier Hills, Cypress, The Salton Sea, Orange County Hills, Mtns. in Tucson, Az, East Coast, Wyoming, and Sedona, Az. We were united and blew the sounds of our Father, His Frequencies to awaken the sons of Issachar, one of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel, in other words: North and South America and Hawaii.
Picture this: The year is 1313 BCE. The Israelites are in the desert, recently having experienced the miraculous Exodus, and are now poised to enter the Promised Land. But first they dispatch a reconnaissance mission to assist in formulating a prudent battle strategy. The spies return on the eighth day of Av and report that the land is unconquerable. That night, the 9th of Av, the people cry. They insist that they’d rather go back to Egypt than be slaughtered by the Canaanites. G‑d is highly displeased by this public demonstration of distrust in His power, and consequently that generation of Israelites never enters the Holy Land. Only their children have that privilege, after wandering in the desert for another 38 years.
9th of Av is a day that Jewish people recognize as a time for catastrophic events happening. Here is a link to give you more details of these events:

We took our children with us on this trip on the last week of July 2020. Vacation and working for Our Abba Yahua at the same time, not too shabby. We first had an assignment to drive to Nogales, Az. Empty due to Covid. It’s a place that in the past we wouldn’t drive there because of all the horror stories of women and children going missing in that area. But we did, and Mike and Michael blew their shofars. We then headed towards Patagonia, Arizona. Patagonia is a word that has come up for us a lot since 2016 so we went, and the restaurant had on their wall: The Gathering Place, another word that is very special to us. We had a nice lunch then we headed to Sedona.
We prepared ourselves through fasting and praying to get ready for 9th of Av. We know that Sedona is full of vortexes so we had no clue as to which one we had to be on. In the past, we would have been nervous or afraid to even battle this in the spirit. In fact, we were filled with Shalom and followed The Ruach (Holy Spirit) to be lead where we were supposed to stand our ground and it was Bell Rock. Sure enough, we found out that Bell Rock is one of the main vortexes there. Our friend Kevin drove to Sedona to meet us for Thursday July 30, 2020 or 9th of Av to be a witness. We had no idea what to expect, but it went very well. We proclaimed and wrote His name YHWH in the red dirt. That land is His and it is time for His Sons and Daughters to rise in that area and not give in to other gods. We did get a blessing from a native there the day before on our morning walk. She noticed Mike’s shofar on his back and got out of her car to listen to it. She knew what shofar was and asked for prayer. She also blessed us wonderfully!
We continued to enjoy our trip by immersing ourselves in the crystalline and fresh waters of the rivers of Sedona We took a jeep ride, and spent time with our friend Kevin. You know during the jeep ride, the tour guide wanted us to blow the shofar at another vortex way out there, Ha! That is exactly why Mike took the Shofar with him. We also witnessed to him after all the questions he had for us. He turned out to be Jewish around his late 20’s, knowledgeable, and was born on Kauai, how about that? That shofar was for him; to return to Abba YAHUA!
Saturday August 1, 2020 we headed to Flagstaff to meet up with Perry and Emmeline. We met at Buffalo Park (Alef), then at Satchmo’s Bbq for lunch to meet up with Kevin there. Emily picked the restaurant and little did I know that Satchmo is the nickname for Louis Armstrong. Boy oh boy, his song, What a Wonderful World is part of our testimony for us moving to Kauai mixed in with the song of Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole. Notice that IZ has Israel as his name. That is who we are, Israel the people. As Emmeline exited her vehicle, she shared that she was listening to IZ in the car. Satchmo and IZ. Two artists in one song that meant so much to us. Abba is so YAHsome! It will take another blog to connect all what Abba showed us with those songs including the book I read to my students for 19 years: What a Wonderful World. I read that to them on the last day of school, year after year. Coincidence? NOPE.
We drove to The Grand Canyon after lunch. Mike and Michael blew the shofars, then Perry blew his silver trumpets followed by a Mighty Wind that encompassed us all, squirrels came out scurrying around us. There is power in Faith! We then had dinner, and we headed back for more worshipping, praying, beating of the drum, and Perry blowing various types of Shofars. A Jewish woman named Tamar approached us. She was confused as to why we were there, why were we wearing Tzitzits (blue and white), why we knew Hebrew, why say YAHUA? She was so humble to listen to us. We answered that Ezekiel 37 is happening, the 10 Lost Tribes were returning back into Covenant with our Father. We are the Lost sheep of the House of Israel as YAHUSHUA says He came for Matt. 15:24. Tamar then wanted our number.
Matthew 15:24
But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
We all spent the night in Williams, Az. The next day we enjoyed ourselves at a coffee shop called Brewed Awakenings. How befitting! We were there for a good 4 hours talking and drinking coffee. What a week of adventures and flow of The Ruach Ha Kodesh we had. Thank you Abba!
The Dry Bones Live…..Ezekiel 37
37 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the [a]breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and [b]breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ”
One Kingdom, One King
15 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’— 19 say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.” ’ 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
24 “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will [c]make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’
Who is Our Heavenly Father bringing back? I met Kimberly Eady on a FB bloggers group page and we became friends on FB because the Ruach connected us. She did a very short 18 minute video sharing about the 10 Lost Tribes and I want to share here. Although she is fairly new in her journey, I can see how humble and mature she is. She tests and reads everything. HalleluYAH!!!! Here is her video:
The adventures we go on are crazy but beautiful🤣🤣
