Can I Get A Hallelujah?

Nora’s eyes beamed seeing the men. “Rusty!” She said with such relief to see him. Nora looked at Dusty and felt safe because she knew that only he was aloud to hurt her when he was around. Howard gulps and looked awkwardly at Noah, “Brother he is sick. This man to assume such sin is ate up with it.” He sweat nervously. Nora then spoke up, “Yet you didn’t deny it because it’s true! He touched Spencer and he has been ever since we’ve been abducted.” Nora stood up but she was weak holding Briair .  Finally she was found after losing hope on Nick, and knowing Dimitri was last seen with Jane and now dead…or so everyone said he was. “Look at him. He’s not even wearing a diaper, Noah! I’m positive you’ll find evidence on my son if you look between the cracks-no pun intended.”

Noah couldn’t believe such sin. “Every where you go sin follows.” He told Nora. “Have you no idea the meaning of Faith when it is your own name?” He smiled ironically “How ironic.” So what? you go now? Go back to your sinful ways? God is everywhere. And he never stops. No matter how much you try to out run him he will catch up to you and for your sake I hope it isn’t in Hell that you finally see that . To accuse a child's doctor. God sent miracle deliverers. Have faith they said. and in Howard I have that and need not violate your child.”

“Alright then. A christening shall happen as soon as possible! What a joyous day this has turned out to be sister. Howard please.” He said watching Howard hand the baby over After Noah and the woman of the church prayed over her for protection. “What shall we call her? May I suggest Mary? or am I just being bias.” He smiled.

“ He has.” He nods. “As you think the Lord wishes sister. But I feel it’s up to Howard as well seeing as he is a Doctor and your husband. Howard. Brother Howard Could you come in here for a moment?”

Nora nods, “I feel delivered from evil.” As much as Nora was trying to stay in her right mind it was beginning to become difficult. Nora glanced as Howard holding Spencer, she felt like she failed once more because Howard had been violating him since she was abducted by them. “I started having contractions last night.”

“Fantastic sister. You have been avenged and judgement day has come for the guilty. God is doing the punishing now.” He pulled out a funeral slip of Dimitri’s along with the news paper of his obituary. “You can live your life walking freely in the path of the lord now without this demon’s shadow cast upon you. The world is rid of his sin. Sadly he could not be saved. Should I call the women of the church?”

Noah took Spencer and had him sitting by the candle light with him as he read the bible and done his bible studies as it was a never ending study to know the lords word frontward and backward while writing a sermon for his congregation. Spencer’s breathing started to rattle and his lips started to turn blue and he the started to gasp for air and struggled to breathe it out. Noah stood up bible in hand and began to chant his prayers loudly over the boy. “In the man of the father the son and the holy ghost I banish this sin and devil from the childs body The power of Christ condemns you!”He yelled out thinking Spencer’s asthma attack was him expelling demons .

Spence was shaking and wheezing slightly. “She’s never looked so beautiful Howard.” He said like Howard made she this way by leading her right. “Thank you for also never giving up on her.” He was thankful to this terrible man. “Her blood ruins pure and it flows through the child, Although the father cannot repent the same her blood might not be enough to save the child so there’s a chance we’ll have to also preform the blessing on the new born. I’ll pray on it.” He smiled seeing them together again. “Shall I take the child for the night?” He wanted to give Nora and Howard time.

“No need to thank us. the lord shall give a the highest honor when we get to live beside him forever but for now his light is more than enough ad now you too walk in it my sister. And now Spencer may become a man in the church.” He smiled small. “Now we baptize.” They walked down to the lake not far from them and Noah and Howard baptized both Nora and Spencer washing away the blood and sin and we back in the house and drying off. “How do feel?” Noah asked warmly. Handing his sister one of their mother’s dresses.

Noah was proud but this was not yet over. “Certainly the next phase is just as important.” He takes Spencer from Howard and hands him to Nora.  and he and Howard wrestle to get the ram up as it kicked around on it’s side bleeding out the finally held it up. “My this was away his sinful existence Father!” He said and he and Howard lift the bleeding neck of the ram over Spencer in Nora’s arms covering him in blood and it spilling all over Nora’s arms. “Hold him over the fire. Let the blood and sin dip and burn so that god may cleanse it.” He smiled like this was something so happy. “You’re making your life right again sister, I’m proud. and I know our earthly father would have been too.”

“They will not go unpunished in the lords eyes. We’ll cleanse them. Through fire there is purity. They might see be visible to the eyes but they won’t be on her soul. You’ll repent for them I’m sure?” He thought surely after payer she would be sorry. You’re right Sister. We shan't play Our heavenly Father but we also shouldn’t allow his word to be used in such manipulative ways when you know you’re doing something you’ll have to be forgiven for you are taking advantage of Jesus’s undying love. Ignorance is bliss but manipulation is a sin of the devil. Just as he done to Eve, but god is no fool he know’s what you’re doing Sister. As do I.”

Noah couldn’t have been more pleased with his sisters Revelation. “THEN YOU SHALL BE!” He said and they backed up and headed to the back door leading Nora the all aligned at the door on each side and all the way out to a circle around a fire pit built on the ground burning hot. Noah walked in front of his sister all the way to the fire and took a dagger from a by standing church fellow. “Thank you, brother.” He said and they led a black Ram over to Nora. “If your words speak truth sister then you must prove them to the lord.” Noah wanted her to sacrifice the Ram. “If you remember our Dads life teachings you’ll know what to do.” Noah hands her the knife. “Repent sister, but remember you have to meant it.

Nora was strapped to an old squeaky chair as candles were lit and crucifix were displayed on the wall of the small room. Nora knew exactly what was going on here and she knew what she needed to do so she could find Dman. Howard walked over to Nora with Spencer in his arms and that nasty smirk upon his old face. “Leave him alone Howard.” She said firmly. “Put my baby down. Noah would you please take Spencer?” Nora asked desperately. Howard moved closer to Nora and knelt to her eye level. ‘There is so much sin instilled within her brother Noah,” He shook his head. “I can see it in her eyes.” He held Spencer tighter. “This child was born of sin. This child was made out of wedlock and adultery.” He shamed Nora. “You claim you just got remarried. In my eyes but most importantly in the Lord’s eyes you still belong to me. We’ll always be husband and wife. It’s locked in with Jesus. Until death do us part.” Howard spoke. Honestly, Nora would much rather die, or even better Howard should than to be his so called wife for the rest of her days. 

“I can already feel it. The Holy spirit. You Rid him (Dimitri) from my life and my eyes are opening.” 

Nora done her hair and dressed her body with her mother’s dress…she looked a lot like her mother right now. Nora sat in the front row pew this Sunday morning listening to her brother preaching.The old man that she married still went to this church and Nora saw him making his way over to her after the service, so she made her way away from him and out of the church where her brother was saying bye to all his cult peeps. “You didn’t have to point me out in there.” her brother made a scene that she was there like most church peeps do. Her ex husband walked up behind her. “My until death do us part partner.” he says and old creepy man laughed. “You know we’re always going to be married in the lords eyes, I hope you’re being faithful to me.” He looked at her perverted. “Let me treat you to lunch.” he offered. Nora looked at him, “What would Jesus do?” She asked her brother.

Noah caught the glances between Nora and her old man husband and she was happy about it. “But of course I did. Their prayers were answered even after all these years Father asked them to pray for your return to the kingdom of God since your departure. This is a big day for us.” He turned and looked at the old man Ronnie hand picked for Nora. Noah laughed at His words. “That you are.” He nods and smiles. “He would honor thy husband.” He made a funny unintentionally and didn’t even notice it. He nudges her the old mans way reassuringly for her to go.

Nora was hesitant but she had felt it within herself that something needed to change. “Take me to church brother Noah.” Nora was anxious it had been forever since she had sat in a pew.

Noah smiled thrilled. “I’d love too sister Nora.” He placed a loving arm around her. “Father’s smiling down upon us now. If only he could have been here to see this. but better late than never Besides We can tell him all about it when we’re back home.” In heaven he meant. “We’ll find you some proper dressing and we’ll be on our way. I think I still have one of mother’s old dresses in the attic.”
