Welcome to my place

The Calling

THE CALLING

       Anita met Jesus Christ in a tiny Pentecostal church in Silverton, NJ on a Sunday night in April. 1982. A shy non-practicing Catholic girl, in bondage for many years and haunted by many ghosts of  abuse, rape, shame and hopelessness. A glorious healing light burst through that night, even though she trembled under the growling, accusing voice of the  tattoo-biceped, ex marine, who slammed his fist on his  worn pulpit. His glittering black eyes bore through her.

   "If you die tonight in a car accident.. Will you go to heaven or burn in hell?"

       She declared the salvation prayer and in that small church, Anita finally found a loving, accepting family that she had always wanted. She bloomed, making up for many lost years, enrolling in college  and graduating at the top of her class, Magna cum laude.  The earning of that degree was interrupted though, by the courtship with a demented man who threatened to kill her if she didn't marry him.  That domestic violent season which lasted almost two years   nearly took away her  exuberant faith and  new-found  nursing home ministry. But Christ never abandoned her.

Healing took place and resilience set her back on track. She met  lead guitarist, Chris Durante at a church picnic where he invited her to front his Christian rock band with him. The Lord began to hone Anita in her new role as lead vocalist-lyricist of "The Promise" and Chris, her and the band shared the Gospel of Christ to the NJ, PA and NY maximum security prisons, family festivals and community showcases.

Anita also grew in leadership positions, teaching behavior modification classes at Nutri-System Weight Loss Centers and as a youth advocate for  Youth Advocate Program. Just as she was enjoying her life, strange and debilitating  symptoms sent her to the hospital where she was given a diagnosis of Lyme disease. 1992 was riddled with hospital intravaneous Rosephin  treatments and Amomoxicillin antibiotic.

The next several years, with her immune system breaking down and battling many episodes of bronchial infections she almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning from her apartment's broken heater. The carbon monoxide did serious damage to her brain and deep depression set in and she was unable to sustain employment.

 But God wasn't finished with her yet. She found herself once more with hope and found another accepting family at non-profit Christian outreach,  Love in the Name of Christ, in the Fall of 1998.  Executive Director,  Carolyn Eyerman and project Manager, Joan Hodem saw  things in Anita she never knew she had. The six years there taught her even more about people and serving their needs. This was also where her journey with the guitar started!

Finding a Cure for dystonia

Add a heading

Special Needs Adults

Dystonia is a complex, highly variable neurological disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions. Dystonia is a range pf movement disorders that involve extended muscle contractions. There may be twisting body movements, tremor and awkward postures. According to my research and personal experience, my Dystonia symptoms were caused my Mercury Amalgam poisoning,  toxic Mold and  nerve damage from carbon monoxide  poisoning. EMF sensitivity and dirty electric can also cause the nervous system to overload.

The main treatment for Dystonia are Botox and DBS Deep Brain Stimulation..

I was diagnosed in 2007 with Dystonia. I was prescribed a muscle relaxant.

Joy in the Journey

Giant Slayer

Chasing 'em down, one at a time...

So, Anita Ivette Ferrer, was a gentle and fragile girl, easily frightened by the Outer Limits electricity monster and intimidated by her mother's raging temper tandtrums. Nonetheless, she had a dream. She sketched and sang and composed poetry  in careful calligraphy hand.

 A traumatic and threatening  encounter with a bullying classmate in her favorite art class shattered her pre-conceived notion that people were kind and could be trusted. The bullying continued till graduation day and she wore her cloak of shame and rejection like a weighted anchor. Doors don't swing open wide for  those who've suffered bullying,  abuse, poverty and/or molestation.

 But  in  April of 1982, Jesus Christ  opened wide  the door of grace and Anita walked through. Decades of deeply ingrained traumas and negative events were assuagged and she began to see more clearly that she had worth and God had a plan for her life..

Enrolling at Brookdale Community College, Anita  discovered that door of favor swung wide open and she rediscovered her poetry, singing and art. No longer fearful and distrusting of people, she was deeply curious and disturbed about injustice and social issues. er professors were impressed with her  empathy and passion to pursue studies in the humanities. Graduating with high honors despite great financial hardship and a violent failed, marriage, Anita knew that the best was yet to come.

     Anita's journey with Christ led her to chase and slay many giants, particularly health.  Lyme Disease  came in 1992 and then  carbon monoxide poisoning almost took her life in  1997.All during this time, Anita chronicled her life events through  her journaling and then came an invitation to learn the guitar.

   Her health lost it;s resilience from the damaging environmental assaults on her nervous system, but her love for composing songs and performing continued. Then were  menntoring broken women,  youth outreach and hospice. Outwardly, it looked as if Anita's continual suffering and down-spiraling health would  diminish her calling, but herdevotion and trust in Christ's promises was her saving grace and anchor.

Despite her present and most daunting giant, oromandibular-TMJ Dystonia from mercury poisoning, she continues to sing, write about and express her gratitude of facing death...and helping others to live!

Anita hopes to find a cure for the Dystonia so that she can travel and tour, speaking and singing about overcoming and getting better with age.Her heart beats for the glorious expectation of God's best through her. She hopes that her music and art will provoke intimacy with Christ and a deep empathy for hurt and broken people. She champions the  underrdog because she is a giant slayer.

THINK on THESE THINGS 

Monarch butterflies spread their wings as the temperature warms Monday prior to being released into nature. (Shmuel Thaler — Santa Cruz Sentinel)

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

So, I am quite joyous to have found this wonderful Long Covid support group. For the past two decades, it has been a necessity for me to find empathetic fellowship with those enduring difficult health battles. But more importantly, sharing my gifts of music, art, photography and love of animals to uplift the lonely and hopeless.

We are not without hope for God consonantly reminds me of the beauty He has bestowed on me and I cherish sharing that beauty with you all!

My main physical joys, (that keep me from depression) are my adorable kitty at PeeWee, my beautiful acoustic Taylor guitar, (on which I compose all my original songs and learn inspirational covers), and my COOL PIC digital camera, (where I’ve captured exquisite flowers, scenery and landscape) for my SHUTTERFLY picture books.

I remind you all that you are a national treasure, created in God’s own image and you have gifts inside you to share with the world! Make a decision to commit to focusing on beautiful and inspiring things. I know that after watching the news or reading the devastating reports on the social media platforms, you cannot help but feel life is futile. Staying vibrant and hopeful One of my beloved friend’s and memntors, Carolyn Eyerman, reminded me do those things bring you peace. is a discipline.

The Bible tells us, “As a man thinks of himself in his heart…so he is Proverbs 23:7 Our very words coupled with our heart’s agreement determines how we victor over evil, difficulty and negativity. Speak life, Speak hope.. Speak health. Speak it and ieve it. Believe in your recovery and imagine you will get better.

As I wait expectantly for my recovery, I make a practice of doing lovely things.

  • I take my Kitty PeeWee, my guitar and blanket and lay down by our lovely lake.
  • Make a handmade card to a sick or lonely loved one.
  • Start a new photo album of memories and loved ones.
  • Lend a helping hand to someone in need
  • Take pictures of beautiful flowers or birds, or whatever is lovely.
  • Watch adorable pet videos
  • Spend time cuddling your cat or dog
  • Compliment a stranger at the post office or grocery store
  • .Tell a spouse, child or loved one how much you appreciate them
  • Go for a leisurely walk at the beach or bicycle trail and thank God for all your blessings
  • If you are bedridden, play videos of patient testimonies of healing

Last but not least, ask Jesus to help you through each moment. He promised He would never leave us nor forsake us. If you do not know Jesus personally ask Him into your heart and life.

Here is the Salvation prayer when you are ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. God bless you and welcome into God’s family!

Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and there is nothing that I can do to save myself. I confess my complete helplessness to forgive my own sin or to work my way to heaven. At this moment I trust Christ alone as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross. I believe that He did all that will ever be necessary for me to stand in your holy presence. I thank you that Christ was raised from the dead as a guarantee of my own resurrection. As best as I can, I now transfer my trust to Him. I am grateful that He has promised to receive me despite my many sins and failures. Father, I take you at your word. I thank you that I can face death now that you are my Savior. Thank you for the assurance that you will walk with me through the deep valley. Thank you for hearing this prayer. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. Pastor John Barnett.

DUMBED DOWN or BRIGHT-EYED and BUSHY TAILED 

So I haven’t posted any blogs in awhile as hubby Mark and I have been battling staggering fatigue from the Chem trails here in NJ and the effects of Covid. I am a warrior and regardless of daunting health challenges, I continue to stand my ground victoriously as soldier of the most high God, Jehovah. As a research journalist and very concerned prayer warrior-worship minister, I cannot stifle my voice and I must share my knowledge and experience of all things which pertain to abundant life and health.

My heart is overwhelmed with concern for people and their God-ordained destiny which is being greatly hampered by the powers that be. On his latest podcast this past week, my pastor, Augusto Perez, said that God’s intercessors are being worn down by all kinds of attacks. Our elder, Larry Taylor, often bemoans the apathy of the American people in these end times. He says there should be an uproar about the many diabolical events and attacks on our family unit, economy, food industry, weather, and environment, but there is little opposition. Why is that? Takes a few moments to think and pray about this.

I’m quite concerned also that the numbers of active prayer warriors on our other intercessors network has also diminished. The answer to Larry’s disgruntlement with the American people is they are being dumbed down by environmental assaults. The constituent in the Chem trails, Barium, fungus, bacteria and lithium would indeed cause a mental stupor and apathy in the population, It’s only been with extreme and exhausting diligence in my own personal health and detoxification protocol that I have been able to do anything production, inspirational or even think critically. My daily battle is attacking and removing harmful toxins and it can be depressing to feel little improvement. Mark’s pastor friend also tells him that he sees weird planes in his area spraying and he is always tired.

Folks, pay attention. Are you always feeling fatigued, having brain fog and feeling apathetic? Do your research! The powers that be are poisoning us to dumb us down. You have two choices, ignore the facts or study to show yourself approved of wisdom. Don’t be so heavenly minded you are no earthly good. Yes, we are spiritual beings but we are temporary travelers here before our Lord Jesus takes us home. I have yet to unravel the mystery of why and how some people are not affected at all by Chem trails, GMO-glyphosate, and fluoridated water. It stumps me that some people seem immune to environmental stress, but for those of us who have delicate immune systems, living each day is a great battle.

May the videos I share today inform you and cause you to take responsibility for your good health and the health of your children and loved ones. Though I have yet to attain daily energy and exuberance, I am trying and determined to overcome and acheive the precious mandate, God has given me. . I am grateful to God for the spiritual armament He gives me, Prayer, Holy Scripture power declarations and communion. He has also given me a sound mind, critical thinking, which too many people lack because they are mostly tethered to their EMF cellphones and IPads. You all need to do your research and check out my blog on 5G. 5G is deadly and affects the heart and nervous system.

Here are a few protocols which I do to help my body recover from environmental poisoning. I pray they help you also:)

JUICING, Daily juicing organic beets and dark green vegetable Chlorella is excellent

HYDRATION Drink 8 -9 glasses of pure distilled or reversed osmosis water daily

BENTONITE CLAY

DIATOMACEOUS EARTH — also known as diatomite — works like a natural detoxifying agent within the body, killing parasites and viruses that can contribute to illnesses while also helping to clean the blood. It’s also inexpensive, simple to use and much safer than many store-bought detox products or plans.

SAUNA and OZONE THERAPY I try to do the sauna 3-4 times a week

DAILY EXERCISE & FRESH AIR Aerobic exercise 4-6 times a week

VITAMIN and MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION Our soil is so depleted of minerals we must supplement

GIVE UP SMOKING

AVOID ALCOHOL

ADEQUATE SLEEP 7-9 hours each night or maximum time for immune restoration

LIVER & KIDNEY-BLADDER DETOX 2 times a year Liver & Kidneys are the detox organs

BODY ALKALINE Being acidic can lead to cancer & other degenerative diseases

FASTING

We cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand as it will lead us to be in bondage to danger, poverty and tyranny. We are almost over the edge of the precipice. Even if you think it doesn’t affect you or you just don’t care, your children and grandchildren will suffer! I have published many blogs and sadly, few in my circle even respond. A “like” or sad, angry emoji on on Face Book does nothing, people. It hurts my heart to see God’s creation lay down impotent at the hands of these wicked people in power and God’s own people, the Church, have allowed satan’s minions to decimate millions. We need to bombard our senators, congressmen and Governors with calls, emails.and petitions to address these stop these assaults! They are killing us, our animals, our fields and air.

I implore you think deeply and pray about this blog and ask God to give you the discipline and courage to make the necessary changes for your life and the life of your loved ones. Time is almost out. Do not depend on the mainstream platforms to inform you. They are liars and under the control of demonic elite. Seek the knowledge and news from Godly sources and do your research no matter how time-consuming. Your life depends on it. If you doubt my credibility, go to the Master’s superior word, the Gospel of Matthew chapter 24 and the Book of Revelation.

May your heart be obedient to the call of Christ, not only in Heavenly things but also to those things that are needful to protect us as we travail this earth. My your searching lead you and your family into His abiding and everlasting presence.

Psalm 91

New King James Version

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall [c]bear you up,
Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will [e]set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With [f]long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation

TRANSITIONING 

So it has been a very challenging two years for Mark and I as we prepare to move permanently to Georgia. We have made quite a few trips with our trailer and we are down to our last wall units, dressers, Nordic track and mattresses. Mark already has brought most of hi mechanic tools, but I still have my music studio equipment, my sewing machine and huge supply of my fabric, photography lights and jewelry designing stuff.

Our main difficult and costly challenge is finding a moving delivery company we can afford. Mark decided that the best option would be a out-of-state moving transport costing almost four thousand. We are hoping that our family, friends and church-ministry family would partner with us and help out with the cost.

Mark and I trust Father God that He will provide everything we need for our new ministry chapter. I hope you will pray about sowing into Mark’s ministry to the biker men and my Brave Flame music outreach. Please feel free to message us at my website and there is a donation button.

Lead Guitarist, Chris Durante

Guitar Artistry

So,  I met Chris Durante at a church picnic in the summer of 1989 and he asked me if I would front his  Christian hard Rock Band, The Promise. I was just a folk soprano who sang a capella with twin sisters in ursing homes. Who knew that God was preparing me for greater ministry and service  to people through my non profit Brave Flame  Productions.  Chris 's artistry has embellished most of my songs and albums over the years and  we are grateful for the influence and inspiration of the the Holy Spirit through us frail and fragile instruments!

John Mulrenan, producer-engineer, Acorn Digital, Howell, NJ has also been a long-time friend and music partner. He has lent his artistry to my projects on keyboards, piano, bass and programming.  His expertise has been invaluable. He is an underrated and transcendent talent!

And last, but not least is my  talented  husband, Mark, who has been my sound engineer.since we married. His extensive  experience  doing sound for NJ's best  bands has been  a valuable asset to my music. Bless God for giving me such a devoted  husband!

Joy in the journey.  I'd always hoped that the road would gently unwind before me as i struggled to ascend to higher heights, while being pushed backwards, by the  continual and daunting symptoms of my many ailments. Just last week, as I was uploading my original songs and past gigs, to this website, i remembered  the anguish and  exhaustion   of supporting myself by delivering telephone books during the  day and  most evenings, I would be performing at the Oakland House, a private  event or a local tavern. My love for composing on the guitar and collaborating on original music with  John DeGrazio and Kyle Hicks saved me from suicidal  thoughts. God always made a way for me to  get fund to produce and record my songs in the studio.  I'll never forget  crying out  to God as I pushed a hand truck loaded with heavy telephone books, wondering why I wasn't touring with my band and respected.   The staggering fatigue from the  Lyme symptoms and  my carbon monoxide poisoning episode made me feel inferior and cursed,  The constant eking out a living wore down my spirits often and i wondered what my destiny was. 

      Angst, disappointment and regret, weighed me down often during my long Dystonia battle. but as I've finally come of age this late in my life, I acquiesce to the reality of Christ being my solid foundation. God's precepts have sheltered me from the sting of hatred, unforgiveness and retaliation. I know that His peace tempers me to have a grateful heart and make the most of every opportunity, however small.  I cherish, Moses' Psalm 90:12.

       Teach us to number our days that we may know wisdom.   

      No need to keep asking  Father God..."why"

       In the past, I often felt ,my creative and musical endeavors were not allowed to bear  the fruit they deserved for whatever reason. i wanted to be successful fashion designer, best selling author, renowned poet or well-loved music icon. too often, my creations had to be postponed indefinitely because of   constant interruptions of lie-threatening illnesses.. Worse yet, fewer and fewer invitations came as people became aware that the TMJ Dystonia symptoms  were diminishing my . I noticed with great anxiety, that my vocal prowess and guitar skill was also strained.  I'd expected  that I'd  get better with age, not worse.

       And so,, I determined in my heart, I would push forward no matter how much it hurt. I could not quit because of what Christ did for me. He destined me to be a conqueror and i was to  be a role model for precious  girls and women whose lives were shattered by trauma. As I scan  the horizon of my future, I'm assured that  He will bring beauty out of the ashes.  Behold, He arose  and redeemed me!
