Update 12/26/25: Yahweh

John 11:25-26 “Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die…”

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 “Where, o death, is your victory? Where, o death is your sting?…But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

I heard before about how God’s name YHWH sounds like breathing. I couldn’t remember how it exactly went, so I found this. 

“Scholars and rabbis say the letters ‘YHWH’ represent breathing sounds or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without vowels, it sounds like breathing: YH (inhale), WH (exhale). A baby’s first cry, their first breath, speaks the name of God. A deep sigh, groan, or gasp calls His name, too heavy for mere words. Likewise, a person leaves this earth with their last breath when God’s name no longer fills their lungs.”

At 6:45am this morning, Wayne Leon Harder breathed out YHWH and met his Savior, Jesus Christ, face to face. The Holy Spirit woke me up around 6 and I felt a premonition that I needed to see Wayne. My friend, Kim, had stayed with him overnight. I told her she could leave since I was up. Shan and I were talking and we saw his eye open a little. I went to him and whispered that I loved him and that angels would be coming to bring him home to Jesus. I reminded him that he’d soon be all healed and to say hello to my Opa and my cousin Cori. Heaven just got even more sweeter. 3 of my favorite men are now in heaven. 

We are heartbroken and sad at our loss, but know that he gained complete healing and is with Jesus and at peace. Please continue to pray for us as we navigate this new chapter in our lives.

We will be having a celebration of life January 17th at 10am at Grace Baptist Church in Winchester, KY.
