Today, as I woke up, my focus was on  forging forward with the publishing of my book, Beautiful Daughter and my worship album, “In the Secret Place.”  My  attention was caught by a blaring headline on a YouTube video: THIS IS DISTURBING.
   And it was!
   Christian brothers and sisters. I urge you to put aside  your annoyance of my end time posts and blogs. Do not take lightly, the prophets dire messages to BE READY for Jesus, repent and be immersed in fasting and prayer. Daniel chapter 9.  Our country is in serious trouble and we need to start  doing our research and keep abreast of what the end-time prophets are   predicting in the  days to come.  Some of us musicians are focused on our music careers, but we will not have the luxury of recording and doing gigs when  Martial law and Sharia law come into being!
     My  beloved pastor Augusto Perez, The Appearance Ministries, mentions again and again that the Church is asleep at the wheel. He faithfully admonishes us 3 times each week to  come up higher in our authority.

    ARE YOU LISTENING, BROTHER OR SISTER?  Don’t be offended, just obey,  humble yourself and get together with  brethren who know how to pray and declare God’s word  with authority.
   Our nation is heading towards civil unrest, food shortages and  shutdowns of our major grocery stores and gas stations and even a grid shutdown. Did you know that? Get on conservative reporting platforms and PREPARE. We have very little time left and that is all I will say!  If you do not know of Godly reporters, journalists and end-time  pastors, contact me here or email me.I highly recommend you Pastor Augusto’s end-times podcasts: The Appearance.com and Appearance.net.
May God. El Saddai have mercy on  the United States. … and know that if enough of us sincerely repent, fast and pray, the collateral damage will be lessened.
   One more thing, (in case you were unaware),   are we militantly-prayerfully opposing the abortion of new-borns,  trans gender mutilation of our children and child-sex-trafficking? Holy Spirit please untether us from our phones and scrolling all day for the latest  vain nonsense and Facebook-Instagram posts, in Jesus name I pray.

So, I’m still dealing with this Oromandibular Dystonia since 2007. Mark and I have been through innumerable medical professionals regarding addressing the often  disabling  and sometimes painful symptoms. In my case the situation has progressed that the upper and lower rear  molars have worn almost to the gum line in some places, causing them to be pointed  Because of the inflamed Trigeminal nerve being so irritated and causing the jaws to open and close, the two molars clamp down on the inside skin of my mouth. The sharp teeth cut the skin and it is extremely painful. Both jaw joints are misaligned and cause big problems when I sing or speak.  I found a bizarre way to cushion my back molar from  cutting into my inside skin: I need to place a  large wad of gum and keep it in place  right under the back molar. This has  helped to avoid the teeth catching and cutting the skin. But, it is very distracting when I have to sing because it falls out of place in the middle of a song and my tongue has to push it back into place.

    I daily have to battle depression and hopelessness because I remember how effortlessly and joyfully I could sing anything, and for hours at a private party. Today,  even speaking and praying causes my jaw and upper  body to convulse. On top of this debilitation,  three past Covid 19 attacks caused my lung capacity to be very challenged. Somehow  the regulation of my body  temperature, ability to tolerate humidity and any changes in Barometric pressure cause the lungs to constrict. My heart has to work very  hard to accommodate air when this constriction is bad.

That all being said, I am a woman of great faith and  believe in the  healing miracles of my precious healer, Jesus Christ. Since I have already done extensive amounts of research on TMJ-Dystonia and lung ailments, and know that usually surgery is what doctors promote, there is no guarantee the surgery will reverse almost 2 decades of extreme damage..

    I also have learned that Spiritual warfare is at the helm of my ailments. Since I was anointed, (by reverend Kevin Nunn, Asbury Pak in 1990), ordained (pastors Leo and Edith Fram, Sandra Gonzalez in 2012) and called to sing and intercede as an intercessor for God’s glory, satan has a bulls-eye target to dishearten and hinder me.

    All glory goes to my Heavenly Father and Jesus, for giving me this gift of worship to record my first and second worship albums. During these nineteen years of great suffering, God  impressed me to write and publish my book about my difficult journey and to record my third worship album, “In the Secret Place.” It is in the secret place of Adonai, El Shaddai and Jesus where I am able to victor over this tremendous, daily physical burden.

Now that I have shared all the details of this battle, I covet your prayers for healing and restoration of my lungs, teeth, gums, Trigeminal nerve and neurotransmitter regulation. I also appreciate you praying about sowing (donation button on my website) into my ministry so I can continue to give Bibles, my music CDs and Christian materials to new believers. I am no longer able to deliver my phone book routes as I did for 15 years because it takes enormous amounts of strength and energy. Now my focus is soul-winning and mentoring. Thank you for your consideration and prayer and God bless you abundantly!

INFORMATION ABOUT DYSTONIA:

Professional singers and musicians do not typically suffer from “TMJ dystonia” as a single combined condition, but rather from two distinct, highly disruptive disorders that can present with overlapping symptoms in the jaw and face: Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders and Musician’s Focal Dystonia (specifically Oromandibular or Embouchure Dystonia). [1, 2]

While TMJ disorders are structural or musculoskeletal issues causing jaw pain, clicking, and limited movement, focal dystonia is a painless, task-specific neurological disorder that disrupts the brain’s fine motor control over highly practiced musical movements. Because both conditions intensely target the lower face and jaw, they are frequently discussed together in performing arts medicine. The distinct impacts, symptoms, and notable cases for both conditions include:

1. Oromandibular & Embouchure Dystonia (Neurological)

This is a task-specific focal dystonia where the brain sends faulty signals to the jaw, tongue, or lip muscles. It is often painless but can end careers because it causes involuntary muscle contractions strictly when trying to sing or play an instrument. [1, 2, 3]

• Singer’s / Oromandibular Dystonia: Causes involuntary jaw clamping, opening, or tongue spasms exclusively while speaking or vocalizing.
  • Notable Case: Thomas Wade, a Canadian country singer, lost his ability to sing and speak due to progressive oromandibular dystonia before using intense neuroplasticity exercises to retrain his brain. [1, 2, 3]
• Embouchure Dystonia: Primarily strikes brass and woodwind players, causing jaw tremors, involuntary mouth puckering, or “lip-locking” when forming a mouth position on a mouthpiece. [1, 2]

2. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ / TMD) Disorders (Musculoskeletal)

How Nerve Damage Links to Oromandibular Dystonia

• Trigeminal Nerve Role: The Trigeminal Nerve (CN V) provides sensory innervation to the face, mouth, and nasal cavity, as well as motor control for the muscles of mastication (chewing). [1]
• Trigeminal Sensory Nuclear Complex: Signals from a damaged, compressed, or irritated trigeminal nerve feed into the brainstem’s trigeminal sensory nuclear complex, disrupting normal motor output to the lower face and jaw. [1]
• Peripherally-Induced Dystonia: Nerve injury—whether from vascular compression, dental procedures, extractions, or facial trauma—can lead to maladaptive neuroplasticity and involuntary muscle contractions in the jaw, tongue, and lower face. [1, 2, 3]

Common Symptoms

• Involuntary jaw closing, jaw opening, or sideways jaw deviation
• Spastic tongue movements or protrusion (lingual dystonia)
• Difficulty or pain while speaking, chewing, or swallowing
• Overlap with or misdiagnosis as TMJ dysfunction, bruxism, or trigeminal neuralgia [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Management and Treatment Options

• Neurologist Evaluation: Diagnosis requires a movement disorder specialist or neurologist to evaluate patient history, rule out structural/vascular causes via MRI, and examine reflex patterns. [1, 2, 3]
• Botulinum Toxin Injections: Often considered the first-line treatment choice for localized muscle spasms in the jaw and lower face. [1, 2]
• Targeted Medications: Muscle-relaxants, anticholinergics, or oral medications like tetrabenazine may be prescribed depending on whether jaw-closing or tongue involvement predominates. [1, 2]
• Surgical Interventions: In rare cases involving vascular compression (such as a blood vessel pressing against the nerve), procedures like microvascular decompression or deep brain stimulation are explored. [1, 2]
• Dental and Physical Support: Custom dental appliances or sensory tricks (such as light touch to the chin or lips) can temporarily alter feedback to reduce spasms. [1, 2]

sO, i

  So, today is September 10, 2026. Tomorrow, Friday September 11, is the 25th  anniversary of the infamous 9/11 attacks, Twin Towers, Pentagon and Flight 93).    Churches and  civic organizations are preparing to commemorate the horrific attack on our United States of America.
      Soon after I  woke up, I immediately began thinking about  Daniel’s chapter nine repentance prayers and got my Bible to meditate.and wait for  divine insight and understanding.
      I thought about  the sons of Issachar. 1 Chron. 12:32 says that they were men who  understood the times with knowledge  of what Israel should do. They understood how to read the weather and they had political prowess regarding King David.
        Thinking about all this, I went into prayer after reading Daniel’s humble, yet powerful prayer of deep repentance to God. Then I thought about  Ezekiel and the people being taken into captivity by the Baylonians. I thought about the horror of the potential invasion of  Russia and millions of American citizens also being taken by ships away from their homes.    
        Some of you might say, “God would not let this happen to us. Or “We are too powerful for this to happen!” Or God wouldn’t let His bride go through that!”
        Let’s look at God’s requirements for blessings on a nation. As God told Joshua,  7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Also, look at Duet 1:8.
     Obedience to God’s law is mandatory, but so doing that which is right. James 4:7 says,  “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, is sin. Check out Mat 23:2&3.
      So what are we not doing? We have a Godly outward form of our Christian expression. We declare: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. 1 Chron. 7:14.
      As a journalist who loves Jesus and truth,  I do not see my nation being healed.  Yes, there are pockets of revivals on campuses and in small areas, but we need to look hard, (like the sons of Issachar) and face what truly is occurring!  We are reminded in James 1:27 what God sees as pure religion. Are we caring for our widows and orphans?  Are we  preventing our unborn and new borns from being murdered, (Infanticide). Are we confronting Pedophiles, perverts and satanists from kidnapping, torturing and eating our children? Please do not be offended. Some of you men, may be  Armchair Quarterbacks or woke pastors! I am blessed to know several pastors who are well-informed and prodding their congregations to be true SALT in a contaminated and infected world!! You know who you are:)!
      Tomorrow as you partake of commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11 infamous attack. Let us not be as those who went back to business as usual weeks after the poignant church repentance service.  Christian brothers and sisters, we are ripe for  the United States to receive another similar attack if we do not  strategically study, investigate and pray-fast against the silent giant, extreme Muslims, (and extreme Jewish sects that call Christianity hate speech) who want to dominate and annihilate Jehovah God’s directives for our lives.
       I send a clarion call to our men, pastors, bishops, deacons and Messianic Rabbis to seek the Holy Spirit intensely in fasting, deep repentance and strategic prayer. God is very angry about the powerful and quick rise of trans-genderism, sodomy, child-sex-trafficking and especially abortion. He will not bless our nation if we do not put on the brakes to stop these abominations! The small percentage of intercessors alone cannot carry the burden of mountains of Cancerous sin of this nation. ALL of God’s people must unite for there is power in unity!
     I beseech you brother or sister to pay attention and pray about this blog.  We have our advocate, Commander -in-chief, Jesus Yashuah, The Holy Spirit, God’s warring and ministry angels and the Armour of God.  May we victor in the Blood of Jesus and the power of His word. Amen!
