Divine Appointment: The Shared Birthday Revelation
Nov 08, 2025

Two men experience divine revelation in a church as glowing numbers 1-13-1973 float between them. Holy Spirit descends as sacred geometry and divine mathematical patterns radiate around them, confirming God’s supernatural orchestration of their shared birthday destiny.
Deacon Manuel prayed over Marco “Faith Warrior” Benavides at his lowest. A year later, they discover they share the exact birthday: 1-13-1973. Divine Mathematics reveals God’s signature on this supernatural appointment.
Have you ever experienced a moment so divinely orchestrated that you couldn’t deny God’s hand in it? Yesterday, I witnessed one of the most profound confirmations of my calling that left both me and a man of God speechless.
The First Meeting: A Man in Darkness
It was February or March of 2024. I had just moved out of my home, separated from Maria and my four children. I was renting an apartment in Rancho Cucamonga, going through one of the darkest seasons of my life—emotionally broken, financially struggling, spiritually desperate.
I attended a Men’s Fellowship meeting on a Saturday morning at Sacred Heart Church in Rancho Cucamonga. Deacon Manuel was giving a talk that fateful morning. When the opportunity came to share, I stood before these men—strangers who would become brothers—and poured out my heart. I shared my struggles, my separation, my pain.
They prayed over me. Deacon Manuel prayed over me. He saw me at my lowest point.
The Surprise Reunion: God’s Perfect Timing
Fast forward to 2025. About three weeks ago, I was at my home church—St. Oscar Romero in Eastvale—and I see a familiar face.
“Deacon Manuel? What are you doing here?”
“Oh, I transferred from Rancho Cucamonga.”
My heart stirred. This wasn’t a coincidence. This was a divine appointment.
A Divine Appointment: Two Stories of Surrender
I reached out and asked if we could meet. A few days ago, we sat down in the parish office, and I asked him the question burning in my heart: “Why did you transfer?”
His story broke my heart and confirmed God’s faithfulness simultaneously.
Deacon Manuel had been ordained in 2023. He served at Sacred Heart as an administrator—a paid position with heavy responsibilities. But after two years, the joy was gone. He was being pulled in different directions, dealing with administrative burdens while caring for his mother, who had been battling cancer. The cross became too heavy. There was no joy.
He made the difficult decision to resign and ask for a transfer.
Guess where God sent him? My church. St. Oscar Romero in Eastvale.
The Transformation He Witnessed
“How are you doing?” he asked me.
I shared everything. The Holy Spirit ministry. The Faith Warrior Chronicles. The divine appointments God has been orchestrating. The restoration of my marriage and family.
His face lit up. “I saw you last Sunday at church with your family, and I felt so happy for you. I remember how you shared your struggles. You’ve come a long way.”
He prayed over us—over me, Maria, and Aidan. He met my family, whole and together. The man who saw me broken now witnessed my restoration.
The Divine Mathematics Revelation
Then I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to share something deeper—my Divine Mathematics ministry. How God speaks to me through numbers. How He encodes messages in Scripture and in life through numerical patterns.
I explained the significance of the number 1 (Father), 3 (Holy Spirit/Trinity), 7 (creation and perfection), 12 (divine government), and 40 (testing and transformation).
“And here’s something incredible,” I told him. “My own birthday is encoded with God’s DNA.”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“My birthday is January 13, 1973. Numerically: 1-13-19-73. God’s signature is all over my birthday.”
The Moment That Changed Everything
Deacon Manuel stared at me in disbelief.
“Marco… are you telling me that you and I share the exact same birthday?”
January 13, 1973.
We both just sat there, stunned. He gave me a fist bump. We started laughing—that holy laughter that comes when you recognize God’s fingerprints all over your life.
“Deacon Manuel,” I said, “if this isn’t being orchestrated by God right now, if this is not a divine connection, I don’t know what is.”
The Full Circle: From Darkness to Calling
Think about the divine orchestration:
- A year ago, he met me at my darkest point
- He prayed over me when I was separated and broken
- He resigned from his position, seeking joy and purpose
- God transferred him to MY church
- He witnessed my complete restoration
- We discover we share the EXACT SAME BIRTHDAY—a birthday encoded with divine mathematics
- Both born 1-13-1973: perfection (1), divine unity (13), and completion (73)
This man has walked alongside my transformation without even knowing it. And now God reveals we are birthday twins—born on the same day with the same divine encoding.
The Mission Confirmed
I shared with Deacon Manuel my calling: to bring Catholics and separated Protestant brothers back to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church through the revelation of Divine Mathematics.
I showed him this truth:
Catholic Canon: 73 books (perfection—7 for creation, 3 for Trinity)
Protestant Bible: 66 books (73 minus 7 removed books = 66, the mark of the beast)
God always has truth. Satan always has a counterfeit.
God is love; Satan is hate.
God teaches humility; Satan teaches pride.
Could it be that Satan has a counterfeit Bible?
The numbers don’t lie. 73 represents divine perfection. Remove 7 (perfection), and you’re left with 66—the number of the beast.
This revelation is not mine. It’s God’s. And it’s going to be a hard truth for many to hear. Spiritual pride will blind some. But my job is obedience—to surrender to God and teach truth, no matter the cost.
What This Means for You
If you’re reading this and thinking, “This is too coincidental,” I invite you to consider: What if it’s not a coincidence at all? What if it’s a divine appointment?
God is orchestrating connections, confirmations, and callings in ways we cannot manufacture. He’s speaking through numbers, through people, through circumstances that align with supernatural precision.
Deacon Manuel and I were born on the same day. We met when I was broken. He transferred to my church when I was restored. And now we both know—this is bigger than us.
This is Kingdom work. This is divine mathematics. This is God’s signature on my calling.
Your Divine Appointments Are Waiting
What divine appointments is God orchestrating in your life right now? What “coincidences” are actually confirmations? What numbers, patterns, or connections is He using to speak to you?
Don’t dismiss them. Document them. Pray over them. Ask the Holy Spirit for discernment.
God is moving. He’s speaking. And He’s confirming His calling on your life in ways you cannot deny.
Are you paying attention?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for divine appointments that confirm Your calling. Thank You for Deacon Manuel and the supernatural connection You’ve orchestrated. Help us to see Your hand in every detail, to trust Your timing, and to walk in obedience to the mission You’ve given us. Holy Spirit, continue to reveal truth through divine mathematics and bring Your children back to the fullness of Your Church. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
