Live your life from victory

Too many times I regret that I did not say “Thank You” enough.
That is the reason for this letter.
I want to thank you for walking this journey IN CHRIST with us - sharing in the heart of the Father, His love, His compassion, and experiencing His mercy on us all.
I recently finished writing 40 Days Fast Forward, and also recorded this month’s mp3 audio teaching on one of the days, to give you a glimpse of what the book is all about. Through these pages, I poured out the cry of a heart that has walked through fire. We all experience the journey of the heart—often aching, often misunderstood, often in exile, but finds hope only in Jesus Christ. For truly, when pain surfaces, it does not weaken you when surrendered, it becomes the place where Jesus meets you face to face.
The journey can be long—far longer than words can explain. And along the way comes the questions with no answers.
But I have learned this: faith is not measured by the absence of questions, but by the presence of Jesus in the midst of them.
As I behold Him, I saw the light of His glory shining brighter than ever before. Please know - God is sovereign.
He said it, and I believe it!
The least of all will find the way back home. Because you pray out of victory – IN HIM!
Do not let your struggle become your identity. But to find out who you are will change it all.
You are who God says you are.
The longer the journey, the more I found peace and saw the dimensions change from battle grounds to overcoming love. “I love You, Jesus.”
Job’s story taught me that even suffering can become an unexpected love story. We can stare at regret, or we can fall to our knees, lift our heads, and watch hope rise.
IN CHRIST is where you find revelational truth, you see the unseen, hear the unheard off and explain no more – TRUTH prevails, just rejoice because Jesus spoke – and I believe!
IN CHRIST you never stay in a crises, you are an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and the words or your testimony. Redeeming love works on your behalf.
Through the 40 Days Fast Forward, you will read my lament, but also my awakening into abundance of life in Christ. Where words failed me, His presence carried me. Where I was lost in explanations, I was found in His unfailing love. Holy Spirit whispered: “Lean on Me. Trust Me with all your heart, your mind, your being. Do not lean on your own understanding.”
Suffering cannot be dissected by human theories, but it can be redeemed by the God who never abandons those who cry out His name.
Inside out, His love rewrote my life. Revelation light, wisdom, and unfailing love became my portion. His heartbeat became my regulator. And the God kind of faith always says: “Thank You, Jesus. I know it is done.”
Even in the whirlwind, His peace surrounds. The world, or even traumatic generational inheritance says “reap the whirlwind,” but God says: “I am for you and not against you. You are who I say you are.”
Yes, affliction leaves marks, but it never has the final say. God restores minds, heals hearts, and releases mercy. Yesterday I was blind but today I can see!
For 21 years we have walked this intense journey with Aldo. It shaped us, pressed us, but also transformed us inside out. I believe with all my heart that God will complete what He has started.
The story is not just about me - it is about God’s children who were once lost in pain but found in mercy. About the Bride who is being prepared in the wilderness. About a generation purified like gold, stripped of false identities, rising in covenant love.
IN CHRIST you have to take up your position, and trust in His unfailing love.
The fullness of salvation is our portion.
These are the unshakable ones. The warriors of love who overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. They are not silenced by broken hearts, nor defined by trauma or culture. They are sealed with His name, carrying a new song in their hearts, moving in mercy even as judgments shake the nations.
This is the journey of the 40 Days Fast Forward—from lament to revelation, from brokenness to covenant love, from exile to freedom.
And so, with gratitude, I say again: Thank you. Thank you for every prayer, every word of encouragement, and yes, every seed sown into this journey. God sees it all, and He multiplies it all.
Our auditors recently advised us that for financial stewardship it would be better for Aldo’s donations not to flow through McPherson House, but rather directly into his Trust Account. This way the funds can go directly toward his needs and his future care.
So I humbly ask—if you feel led to support Aldo, please direct your donation into the Aldo Trust Account, and mark it clearly. Every contribution helps us carry the daily responsibilities of 24/7 care, and also plan ahead for the future God has in store for him.
I do not take lightly the kindness of those who stand with us. Truly, your generosity is seen in heaven.
May you always know how deeply we appreciate your love.
May His great grace abound toward you.
And may you hear the whisper of the Spirit today: “Well done, beloved. I see you. I am with you. You are Mine.”
To God YHVH be all the glory.
With love and gratitude,
Retah
