A called, ordained, and confirmed apostle of JESUS CHRIST A called, ordained, and confirmed apostle of the Second 8th Week of Righteousness
PRE-BIRTH REVELATION: I was the 10th person standing in a line of spirits. Angels were busy preparing these souls for their earthly existence; their activities, from their birth to their death. I heard God saying, “Who will go for Me?” I didn’t know what the mission was, all I remember is that I felt compelled to volunteer so I said, “I’ll go.” A very large angel dressed in a white robe took me out of line and up to the front. God again spoke and said, “I will use him in the last days.” I turned to the angel which brought me to the gate or opening and said, “Will you let me remember this?” He replied, “Yes you shall remember this, and prosper.” God is free to do as He sees fit. I am NOT testifying to reincarnation. I am NOT testifying to a pre-birth existence in which I functioned. All spirits came from God and we will return to Him that made us. This is biblical. For we read in Ecc.12:7, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall RETURN unto God who gave it."
CONVERSION: My conversion took place on an unusually warm evening in the fall of 1971. It was my custom to come to this place to pray and seek God, for as yet I did not have the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, but was drawn to prayer and wanted to know God. On this particular evening it was so evident to me that God was with me, I could feel His presence. After an hour of prayer I turned to leave and I heard a voice very clear inside which said, “Don’t leave.” I said out loud, “Who said that?” As I continued to pray and wait upon God [for I was sure that it was He who was speaking to me] I felt an even stronger presence of God. I was weeping, asking the Lord Jesus to forgive me of my sins. There is salvation in none other name, but in the name of Jesus Christ, the one who died for our sins and rose again from the dead. I then saw a strong wind coming towards me, it came up the hill, the trees were bending as if by the force of a terrific wind, but I felt nothing, as if everything around me was affected, except me. I then began to stammer in a language that was foreign to me, I was speaking in tongues. Later I found this experience in the Bible in Acts 2:1-4. I could not have called out to God in repentance of sin unless the grace of God was present. I believed that Jesus died for my sins. I felt a huge weight come off me. This was the weight of darkness, the weight of my sins. Only Jesus can remove the power of sin from our lives. After my conversion I began to witness Jesus Christ and His salvation to anyone I could find who would listen to me, I passed out tracts, and invited people to experience the same real encounter with God through Jesus Christ that I had. When my Baptist pastor heard that I had received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of tongues, and knew I would be looking for another church he said he was sorry to lose me. In his own words, "In the short time you have been here, you have brought in more converts than all my deacons put together." It is God who saves, I was so blessed with His salvation that I could not help but tell others of the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I would compare my conversion to Acts 3:19, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." I would also compare my conversion to Acts 3:26, "Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities."
1971 VISION: I continued to come back to this same hill to pray, one evening I experienced my first vision through which God made known to me my future calling. As I was praying I looked into the sky; the moon was a perfect circle, and shone with unnatural brilliance, being encircled with 12 bright stars.
1977 CALLING: It was my custom to seclude myself in prayer every day. In the summer of 1977 I was in deep prayer when I suddenly heard the voice of the Lord speak to me again. This was the same voice that spoke to me on the hillside and said, “Don’t go,” and I felt the same strong presence of God. His words were deeply penetrating as He was inscribing His will within my soul. My mind was only able to grasp but a few sentences of this lengthy visitation. What was clearly said to me was, “I have called you to the office of apostle and prophet over the North American continent. Great grace and great power shall be upon you.” From this point on, as I read my Bible daily, the Lord bestowed upon me the measure of grace He gives all apostles to understand the mystery of the gospel. The Lord began to unfold to me the meaning of the covenant of Jesus Christ, the place value of each element of His covenant, the function of the assembly, the contact points and articles of the covenant that are in Him. This is the truth He will use to restore the Body of Christ, bringing all christians into one faith.
1978 ANGELIC VISITATION: About 8 months after the revelation of this calling my angel awoke me, staring at me from the foot of my bed. He was illuminating the room with his personal glow; he took me in the spirit to confirm the words of the Lord.
1978 ANOINTING WITH OIL: While in prayer I was startled as a bright shinny drop of oil hit me on the forehead and nose, spreading on my face like warm cotton.
1979 ANGELIC VISION: In the spring of 1979 the Lord gave me a dream in which I saw a mighty angel standing on the North American continent directing the spirit of the REVIVAL. 1981 DREAM: In the summer of 1981 the Lord gave me another vision giving me a spiritual autopsy of the Church. I saw a place of bondage, a huge prison. Each cell represented different denominations. The inmates were wearing prison clothes, and they were fighting, threatening, and abusing one another. One huge inmate threatened me and I felt fear. The Lord said, “Fear him not.” Suddenly I felt myself rising higher and higher, and I was bigger than the man who was intimidating me. He begged for mercy and I felt pride rise in my heart. I cast it aside. From that point on in the dream I was in Jesus’ body. I felt, saw, moved, and talked like Him. I said to the prison door, “OPEN!” and it opened. Everything I did was directed by God and I could feel His power. I was in the courtyard and another inmate challenged me to a fight. I waved my arm and he was clothed in Roman armour. “Fight with these,” I said. I passed through a dining hall. The inmates were eating savagely. As they were eating I walked through the room up some stairs. Only a handful of people followed me. I ministered to them and as I waved my arm they were clothed in robes of righteousness with crowns on their heads. We went back into the dinning hall and hundreds of people gathered around us because of the robes and the crowns. With my head down in my arms I then swept them out over the crowd and they were all clothed in beautiful robes. “You have desired the true bread, now partake of the fruit of life, that you may have life.” They had just finished a large meal, but were still hungry; only God can fill the hungry soul.
1981 DREAM: In this dream the Lord showed me the Church represented as a large institution of learning. Each classroom represented a different denomination. Again, there was much in-house fighting. I went from classroom to classroom. In one room there was much singing, but no move of the Spirit with the singing. I knew this because there was a large trough which was supposed to be filled with water, and it was empty. The present system of the Church is without government, without truth, and without the Spirit. 1982 PROPHECY: In March of 1982 the Lord gave me a prophecy concerning the condition of the Church. At the end of the prophecy He said:
1983 APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION DREAM: In the fall of 1983 I had a dream. I sat at a table with other apostles and the apostle John (the apostle who wrote the gospel and 3 epistles) was present giving us all a charge. Questions were asked. He answered in an authoritative voice. Q. “How will the people know we are apostles?” A. “It is the grace and peace of God that is the witness.” Q. “The majority of people think differently.” A. “Multitudes can prove false. God speaks through the unknown and finite.” Q. “They seek for the signs.” A. “Signs can lie, it is the grace that speaks truth. Be strong in His grace.”
1983 PROPHECY: In this prophecy the Lord address the Church and her love of precept and line in place of love of God. We read in Is. 28:13, "But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Jesus said, “Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life; and they are they which testify of Me. And you will not come to Me, that you might have life," Jn. 5:39,40.
1984 DREAM / PROPHECY: On January 6th, at the time of 6:15 to 6:30 in the morning, the Lord caused me to see a vision in my dream. I travailed heavily in the spirit 5 or 6 times during this visitation. Afterwards I went to record the experience, but I couldn’t control my hand to write because the presence of God was so powerful. As I sat at the table I began to travail again, and as uncontrollable tears streamed down my face, and my body shook because of the currents of spiritual energy which surged through my limbs, the Lord took my hand and wrote as follows:
GIFT OF DISCERNING OF SPIRITS: The gift of discernment of spirits is given as a witness of Jesus Christ. We are allowed to see into the spiritual world which is as real as this world of the flesh. Jesus Himself said, "My kingdom is not of this world....." Jn.18:36. There are different ways in which the Holy Spirit opens our senses to discern either the angels of righteousness or the angels of iniquity. I have been seeing, on a regular basis, large white spirits and also small bursts of light of many colors. Heb.1:7,14, “And of the angels He saith, “Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.” “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” These appear in the daily assembly, and also around the house and my place of employment. Thanks be to God for the gifts of the Spirit, ministering Jesus Christ to us through these 'ministering spirits'.
INSCRIBING HIS WORD IN ME: I have also been experiencing for some time the Lord inscribing His word within me, Heb.8:10, “...I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts...” I know that is what the Lord does to all believers spiritually, but He has allowed me to feel it physically as a point of confirmation of the grace of God that He was personally giving me to enable me to instruct the Church at the time appointed.
1987 DREAM: I was teaching a class in a school. A man appeared and said, “Fall down and worship me and I will give you all things.” I said, “It is God who gives all things, for all things are of Him, and all things shall return to Him, and Him only shall I serve, and shall live by every word of God and not by bread only.” I saw that this was the same manner in which the devil came to tempt Jesus and would not obey. The man suddenly disappeared. I then watched as ANOTHER man approached me in robes with a short beard. I knew this man to be Jesus. He asked a question. “Master,” I said. “Only by Your wisdom shall we know.” Then I realized that I held a young child’s spirit in my hands, and the Lord Jesus showed me how to return it to his body. I held onto the Master’s arm and embraced Him for His great love, mercy and wisdom. Through this dream the Lord was showing me that power and discernment would be returned to the Body of Christ through the apostles. There will be great signs and wonders, even the raising of the dead in the name of Jesus Christ.
1992 VISION / KEYS: In 1992 a white hand with a key appeared three times during prayer. This vision was in confirmation of the complete foundation of truth that God has given to me to give to the Church. The restoration of truth is now the revelation of His Christ and the direction that God is taking the Church. The 'key' is not for a boast, but a pattern that is confirmed in Christ. This apostle is called of God to take the Church in this new direction. 1993 WORD OF KNOWLEDGE: The Lord spoke to me and said, “PROVOST”. This again confirms my calling as apostle as it means: Chief, a high executive official. 1995 DREAM / VISION: I saw a bearded man in a white robe with a staff standing in front of a red door to the heavenly library. ”Why was I chosen,” I asked the man. This dream/vision confirms the doctrines that the Lord has delivered to me, that they are from the libraries of heaven, the same measure of grace that God gave to the early apostles. 1997 DREAM/ VISION: March 5, 1997, 4:36 AM. I saw a bright light that got brighter and brighter. I began to twirl faster and faster; and currents of electricity surged through my limbs and increased in my hands. I remembered the word of the Lord when He called Me to the apostles office. He said, “Great grace, and great POWER shall be upon you.” 1997 DREAM/ VISION: I saw a large head of a bearded man with an immense crown upon his head, and a brilliant light surrounding him. He spoke to me and said: “HAIL! HE WHO IS TO COME THE DELIVERANCE ONE!” I knew without being told that this man was the man ENOCH in the book of Genesis, who was not, for the Lord had taken Him. I later found written in the books of Enoch, “And you (Enoch) will tell that generation...” II Enoch 35:3.
CLOSING REMARKS: In summary, the biblical pattern for a calling into apostleship
Precept and line christians cannot see that biblical pattern. They see a pattern in CIRCUMSTANCES. If circumstances for calling are to be the same then every apostle would have to follow these circumstances: 1. Only fishermen qualify as apostles ----- Mt.4:8 2. All apostles must be called as they sit under a fig tree --- Jn.1:48 3. All apostles must be struck blind and then healed --- Acts 9:8,17 4. All apostles must first persecute and murder christians --- Acts 25:11 5. All apostles would have to be on the road to Damascus --- Acts 9:1 Precept and line christians think the pattern of faith is in the circumstances and try to find faith by repeating a circumstance. We see how foolish this is. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, yet the circumstances under which He ministers DOES change. Faith through Jesus Christ does not change. The need for a divine calling into apostleship does not change, the need for a measure of grace to function as an apostle does not change. DID PAUL CHANGE HIS TESTIMONY? In Acts 9:4,5 we have an account of Paul's testimony, the testimony of his conversion and his calling. In Acts 26:16-18 we have another testimony of Paul's conversion and calling. And this account does not match the earlier account, there are additions. Was Paul being deceptive? Is there a contradiction? Was he changing his testimony? No. In Acts chapter 26 Paul was merely filling in with more details that were omitted in Acts chapter 9. I have filled in many things in my testimony for the sake of those who were inquiring, and for the sake of those who were reading into my testimony inaccurately, thereby misrepresenting me and my calling. The hand of the Lord is not shortened that He cannot heal. Let those who are of faith take hope that the hour of deliverance for the church is at hand. “THERE SHALL BE A UNITY THAT SHALL NOT BE FEIGNED, AND A ONENESS THAT WILL NOT BE DECEITFUL.” |
