Shalom Mishpachah (Family) in Messiah!
Many of you have been listening to the weekly radio shows of “Double Portion Inheritance” on Hebrew Nation Radio & Messianic Lamb Radio.
These radio shows are free for download at this Podomatic Website, and I pay $75.00 per month for this free service for my listeners. To download and listen to my radio shows from the past few years, go to my Podomatic account, and please subscribe so that you will know when I have a new podcast to share:

On June 29th, 2016, I sent out a newsletter announcing that I was prayerfully considering leaving the radio. Some of you responded to that newsletter by sending a donation to the ministry to help with the expenses, and I am grateful for all of you who have donated to help this ministry continue.
I have reached a decision about whether or not to remain on the radio. After much prayer, I am certain that YaHuWaH is calling me into a “Ministry of Intercession & Prayer”for this season. He is calling me to leave the radio in order to make time for fasting, prayer and intercession.
The Feast of Tabernacles aka Sukkot will be October 17th-24th in 2016. After Sukkot, there are some changes coming for Double Portion Inheritance Ministries!
Stay tuned to find out what those changes are as my husband, Gary & I fast and pray during this season to find out from YaHuWaH what direction he is taking us in.
Maria Merola Wold will still be available for speaking engagements.
Double Portion Inheritance will still be making the website available with free downloads of ebooks and podcasts.
My older shows and ebooks are also available for free download at my website, which I pay $300 per year to maintain:
www.DoublePortionInheritance.com
Maria Merola will still be recording podcasts and sending them out via email from time-to-time as YaHuWaH gives a timely message for the body of Messiah.
I will still be sending out newsletters with timely messages from YaHuWaH for the body of Messiah.

Why am I leaving the radio?
As I explained in my newsletter from June 29th:
“I have been spending approximately 40-50 hours per week on preparing the content for my radio shows, placing them in blog format, and then editing the shows to remove unwanted noise such as throat clearing, coughing, blunders, stuttering, etc. Most weeks, after my husband goes to sleep, I get up and go to my office and I am up all night recording and editing until 6 a.m. I usually sleep until 12 noon most days. My life has been fully consumed with producing radio shows, so much so that I have little time for the things that I really want to do, such as intercessory prayer….”
Intercessory prayer is the main thing that I have been called to do, but the radio shows have consumed so much of my time that I have had little time for prayer ministry over the phone with people who request it.
For the past six months, my husband, Gary would come home from work, have a quick bite to eat and right away get busy working on editing my radio shows. He would add in the intro/outro music, and commercial breaks, etc. He also enhanced the sound quality to make it easier on the ears for the listeners.
Sometimes it would takes him two nights in a row to finish the edits. Sometimes he would be up until 2:00 a.m. and then he would have to wake up at 6:00 a.m. for work.
Gary & I have spent approximately $2,000 in the past 6 months on recording and editing materials such as acoustic foam panels (to make my recording room acoustically sound), and he also spent $600 on editing software to make the edits go smoother and not take as long.
We spend $300 per year to maintain my website and $75 per month to maintain my Podomatic Account where I store my radio shows. We also have to pay $60 every six months to rent a Post Office Box at the Post Office to receive donations in the mail. For security reasons, we don’t want our physical address disclosed to the general public.
Ever since I moved to the West Coast last year, the donations have gradually declined and I suspect it is because people assume that since I am now married, I no longer need financial help. But nothing could be further from the truth. Gary’s income is not enough to support the family expenses as well as the ministry that I do on the radio. We are both being burned out on producing these radio shows as we are often sleep deprived.
Your donations are still needed in order to maintain the website, and the Podomatic account where people can download the radio shows for free.
Without your donations coming in, we cannot continue to make these FREE resources available.
We are willing to make the sacrifices needed to get the Word of YaHuWaH out there to the masses. However, we also have living expenses as well as ministry expenses and cannot afford these unless I quit the radio and go back to working a full time job.
Additionally, neither Gary nor I had any furniture coming into this marriage. Gary's mother just moved out on July 4th and she took all of her furniture with her. Consequently, we have recently had to purchase a refrigerator, a sofa and love seat, a washer and dryer etc.
We are preparing to have weekly Shabbat meetings in our home, which is why it is crucial that we have furniture. I must go back to work to help pay for these purchases. We are still in need of dressers for our clothes in the bedroom.
If you have been listening to the radio shows regularly and have enjoyed listening, then stay tuned for the new ebooks and blogs that I will be writing and sending out to you via email. If you are blessed by this ministry, please prayerfully consider making monthly pledge to Double Portion Inheritance at the PayPal button on my website:

New Direction for Double Portion Inheritance Ministries
As many of you know, I was married to my beloved husband, Gary Wold on August 29th 2014, and our second wedding anniversary is coming up very soon. You may read the blog about our testimony entitled “Resurrection of a Promise” below at this link:
http://doubleportioninheritance.blogspot.com/2014/09/resurrection-of-promise-testimony-of.html
For the past two years, Gary & I have discovered all too well, what it means to “inherit the promises of YaHuWaH” and with that promise has come much testing through the fire of affliction.
Just like Yisra’el, when they were delivered out of Egyptian bondage, what followed were many tests and trials along the way before they would arrive at the Promised Land. Gary & I are no exception.
We have been through the fire over the past two years and I am happy to say that YaHuWaH has been faithful to preserve us and make us stronger in our marriage as well as our individual walk with YaHuWaH. These scripture verses are reminders of how YaHuWaH tests our faith in order to purify us and make us shine for him:
Malakiy (Malachi ) 3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of of Lewiy (Levi), and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto YHWH an offering in righteousness.
1st Keefa (Peter) 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Yahuwshuwa ha’Mashiyach.
Chazown (Revelation) 3:18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
Gary & I are seeking YaHuWaH to find out how he wants to use us as a couple in the ministry moving forward. We have been extremely busy since July 4th with helping Gary’s mother move out of the home into her own apartment. In the meantime, we are preparing our home to have weekly Shabbat meetings.
YaHuWaH is bringing about“new beginnings” as there is much more to come with Double Portion Inheritance Ministries!

1st Corinthians 9:
1 Am I am not an apostle? Am I not free? have I not seen Yahuwshuwa ha’Mashiyach our Master? Are not you my work in YHWH?
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of my apostleship are you in YHWH.
3 My answer to them that do examine me is this,
4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of YHWH, and Keepha (Peter/Cephas)?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7 Who goes a warfare any time at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard, and eats not of the fruit thereof? Or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock?
8 Say I these things as a man? Or says not the Towrah (law) the same also?
9 For it is written in the Towrah (law) of Mosheh (Moses), you shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn. Does Elohiym take care for oxen?
10 Or says he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that plows should plow in hope; and that he that threshs in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Messiah.
13 Do you not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so has the Master ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
May YaHuWaH be with you all in Messiah, Yahuwshuwa!
Maria Merola Wold
