"Jesus Christ, the same today, yesterday and forever," seems
to be a favorite quote from scripture today. And I believe that this
scripture is true, however there are many who say that they believe it,
yet have a tendency to draw back when faced with the reality of God in
Modern Times. We believe that the Holy Spirit leads us, yet if someone
says that God has spoken to them by the Holy Spirit it could cause
automatic rejection by others in the body. Why is this? As born again
believers all of us should hear God speaking to us from time to time in
our daily lives. We're not talking about thunder and lightning here, but
we are talking about God speaking to us softly through our thoughts by the
channel of the Holy Spirit. If someone says that God has spoken to him or
her they are setting themselves up to be mocked and ridiculed by others.
So I suppose that realizing that all of this is true, I am about to set
myself up to ridicule and mockery. I was born again by the Spirit in March of 1972 at the age of 29years.
Two weeks later I was filled with Spirit of God and experienced a power
surge in boldness and knowledge about the Word of God. But, I was a novice
in Christ, young and in-experienced. I was headed for many blessings and
hurtful things that God allows happening to us to help us mature in him. I
devoted myself to God and studied and prayed as much as I could while
working a job at a Mobile and Motor home manufacturing plant. One of the
things that the Spirit of God led me into was praising and worshipping God
from the heart. If one doesn't understand what I am saying, or if it makes
a person uneasy to hear this, I would advise them to give it a try. You
might find that it is very rewarding in your heart to pursue this course
of action with God. In 1974 while driving my car home from work one afternoon I had a
remarkable experience. I lived in Locust Grove, Oklahoma and worked in
Tulsa. For three days I continually sought after God with all of my heart.
It was over thirty miles to work and over thirty miles back home again.
While driving down the road I would constantly praise the Lord. While I
was at work performing my job I silently praised God all day long. After
praising God in my car coming home I would come in and go to my bedroom to
pray. After praising God all evening I would go to bed and while lying on
my bed for a short while I would praise the Lord until I fell asleep. This
went on for around three days. On the last day of this uncommon desire to seek after the Lord I was
driving home at the end of the day and was passing through a small town
called Chouteau on hwy.33. As I was leaving town I was still praising the
Lord as I had been for the last 3 days. As I was driving past the old VFW
club house as I was leaving town a supernatural experienced happened to me
that I have longed desired to happen to me again. It was as if a ball of fire about half the size of a basketball had
ignited inside of the center of my chest. It was coming from inside of me.
It was very powerful but was full of love. It was so powerful that I
couldn't set down in the seat as I was driving. It was very frightening
but felt wonderfully good at the same time. I felt what felt like huge
volts of electricity coming out of my hands. All I could do was scream. I
thought for a moment that God was going to take me home and it felt as
though my spirit was being lifted up out of my body. I do not know how I
was managing to drive my car but somehow we stayed right on course.
Suddenly I thought of my wife and small children at home and I cried out
to God in a loud voice. "Jesus you are killing me." It was instant; this
great experience that was happening to me left as sudden as it at came.
All I could do was continue to drive home with my mind spinning in
amazement and wonder. To be honest it was very disappointing that all of
that wonderful feeling of power and love was gone. I have often wanted to
experience any thing close to this again, but it was a sovereign act of
God. But now I know that you cannot make it happen. God simply did it
because he wanted to. I was a young Christian, a novice, I knew very little about scripture
and certainly didn't have any special burden for the people of Israel, to
even have the Jewish people on my mind would have been unusual, especially
at that moment. Just about two minutes later as I was approaching the
Grand River bridge going east on hwy.33 God spoke to me in my spirit so
clear that there was no doubt that it was Him. He said this: "I am going
to deliver the Jewish people out from behind the Iron Curtain in the
Soviet Union by the power of the Holy Ghost. And it will be very soon."
You cannot image the excitement that I felt. I wanted to tell everyone
about the wonderful thing that God had spoken to me. But, guess what? I was in for a very disappointing experience because
no one believed me. For God to deliver the Jews from behind the Iron
Curtain was absurd, God wasn't going to do that. I was warned by
ministers, "don't believe every spirit that comes along, you could be a
false prophet." You wouldn't believe the confusion that I went through. My
friends, my Christian friends, thought that I might be a false prophet. I
was very ashamed and didn't mention this to anyone again for a very long
time. I did not want to be a false prophet. I paid close attention to the news after that hoping to hear something
about Israel but didn't. There was something happening, but most of us in
America did not know that it was even going on. I was one of these
Americans and didn't have a clue. When the Iron Curtain came down after
Reagan's plea to Gorbachev, it was made public that many Jews were leaving
the Soviet Union and heading mostly to Israel, but some came to the United
States and other places. I had heard previously, maybe a year before, that
some were leaving but had no idea that this was getting ready to take
place. I thought to myself, "Wow, a short time to God must have been all
the way from 1974 until the Iron Curtain fell." I thought that in God's
time this might have been possible. But what I didn't know was that "soon"
to God meant exactly that. Most do not know what went on back then and I
was one of them. In October 1974 something was going on behind the scenes that did not
reach the main stream. We knew that at that time the Soviet Union was
desperate for food and needed help. The United States took opportunity of
this situation. Because of a number of Jewish groups in America
continually coming to the Government for help things were about to change.
The Jews in the Soviet Union were under a certain amount of persecution
and the Jews in America feared another Holocaust. The United States
promised a trade agreement with the Soviet Union if they would allow a
larger number of Jews to leave Russia and was to allow a group to come in
once in a while to see how the Jews were being treated. This was accepted
and was called the Jackson-Vanik Amendment October 19, 1974. I didn't have
any idea that this was going on. It was established that 60,000 Jews could
leave in 1975 if they wanted to leave and had the means. God spoke to me
in 1974 and these things began to happen in 1975. God did mean soon after
all and I wouldn't realize this for 30 years. He also wrote the same kind of letter to Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger and Senator Jackson who negotiated this treaty with Russia. Think on this, God used America to deliver the Jews from the holocaust
and then he used America again to cause immigration to be increased to a
very large amount from behind the Iron Curtain. He is still using America
in the same way with Israel. So many people believed that I was listening
to a bad spirit, but so much for what people think. When God speaks to us
we really know if you don't really know then it wasn't him. After I had
seen the Jews leaving the Soviet Union around the time the Iron Curtain
was torn down. God spoke to me again and said: "I told you this would
happen and it did." I felt so ashamed because I had worried about what
others had said to me and had allowed it to cause me to hide what he had
told me would happen. I am still ashamed of this fact. But, God has given me a chance to reprieve myself with him in this
matter. In 1991 God spoke to me about Israel again. My wife Judy and
myself had lost our oldest daughter who was 27 at the time to leukemia. It
was probably one of the lowest times in our lives. I was sitting in the
recliner resting one evening. I was very discouraged. My heart was heavy.
My daughter had gone to be with Jesus, but I was worrying about America
and her relationship with God. The fear that God might destroy us for the
horrible sins that we have committed as a nation was troubling my mind. I
thought about prayer in school and the abortion of little infant children.
In fact I had been watching the news on television and Christians were
being arrested and hauled away by policemen for standing outside abortion
clinics protesting and pleading with people not to abort their babies. As
I thought about these things, and although no one was in the house with
me, I spoke out loud and said, "God is going to destroy America." Then
something happened to me again that I was totally unprepared for. Instantly there was a reply and God spoke in a small still sweet voice
into my heart and said, "No, I'm not. America is mine, and I'm going to
save America." At this point I would like to say that God saying that
America was his did not mean that they were saved, but that he had a plan
for them to fulfill. We are his for a purpose and he is going to bring
America to repentance in the process. All at once I was filled with the presence of God. In a moment of time
I experienced something that was very unexpected. I saw America, from her
very beginnings to this present day. I heard every marvelous song that was
ever sung about her. I saw her in a way that I had never seen her before.
I heard many voices, and words from the pledge of allegiance where it is
said "one nation under God," to our very beginnings where it was said that
we were all given certain unalienable rights by our creator. The song,
God Bless America, stood out in my mind. It was in this moment that
a voice from within spoke and said, "I created America for myself, and I
am going to bless America in a wonderful way." I began to weep, because I
knew that I was hearing the voice of God. Then, I saw a place in the wilderness where people could worship and
follow God without persecution. I then saw America as a great protector
over the nations of the world, standing as a guardian against the
oppressors of this world. During World War II, when Hitler was trying to
exterminate the Jews from the face of the earth, God forced the United
States into a war that she did not want to enter, in order to stop him.
When we did this, God, through a Jewish-German by the name of Einstein,
gave America the Atomic bomb. This caused us to be feared by every nation in the world. It was this
fear that enabled the Jews to go back to Israel. Iraq and other Arab
countries tried to stop them, but if any large nation had gone against
Israel, the United States would have retaliated. We have been like a
guardian angel over Israel ever since. It is the plan of God, and even
though America is very oppressed by sin at this time, God is going to pull
us through. I know that there is a very large number Americans that live and die
and go into eternity without God and are lost. So I am not trying to say
that God is going to save America because they are Americans. But I am
convinced that during the coming years we will experience some very
hard-times, but do not give up hope. God is getting ready to bless America
with the thing that we need the most, and that is salvation.
It is these hard-times that God is going to use to cause Americans to get
their eyes off of fun and materialism long enough to look up to God and
seek his help. God has a purpose for America. While experiencing these things about America, I was weeping because of
the joy of what my heart could see. At that time, I saw another picture. I
could see a great battlefield. It was dark over head, with flashes of
light that reflected against the bottom of the clouds that loomed over
us. I found myself in a trench of mud with American soldiers all around me.
While looking at the faces of these soldiers, I knew that there was a
feeling of desperation. It seemed hopeless. Instinct told me that this was
the battle of Armageddon, and we were in Israel. The moment was intense
with anticipation. There was an American flag with its staff sticking out
of a mound of dirt in front of me. You could hear it quietly popping as
the wind furled it from time to time. All at once, there was a noise from
behind, and, as we whirled around to see what it was, a white horse leaped
over us. My heart leaped when I saw the rider on its back. It was
JESUS! As He cleared the trench, He turned in the saddle. Looking back at us
with a smile, He motioned with His left hand in a single move for us to
follow. There was great joy and great courage at that moment, because all
at once we realized that victory was certainly at hand. Needless to say,
this experience overwhelmed me with emotion. It also made me very
interested in what the Bible had to say about this. Since then, God has
revealed these prophecies to my heart. The vision I just shared with you
about the soldiers in the trench and Jesus on the horse was symbolic in
meaning. It was showing us that America was going to go through some hard
times, in fact to many it will seem hopeless and there will be despair in
the hearts of many people. But, it will be at that time that Christ is
going to restore America to him and bring her out of the trenches to do
his work and to help us fulfill his plan of salvation for our own nation
as well as the salvation of many others. God also told me, concerning the first vision, that America was cut out
of the wilderness and that she is the place in wilderness that God has
prepared for Israel at the time of her escape from the Antichrist,
Revelation 12: 6,14. He also told me that he has raised up America to be a
big sister over Israel to help her come into her fulfillment in God's plan
for her salvation. These things will all happen some day no matter how
ridiculous this may seem to those who are reading this. God is going to
use you and me to prepare this country for these events, even if you don't
believe what I am telling you, some way, some how God is going to use you
and me to bring these events into play some day. He is still preparing
America for this great work. Well, now I have exposed myself and will probably become an object of
ridicule to many, so be it. But, you know I feel a lot better telling you
about these things that God has shared with me. In the past I was always
afraid of what people thought about me, but those days are over. I would
like to remind you of something that I said at the beginning of this
article. God did not allow these things to happen to me so that you would
be convinced. They happened to convince me and it did. But the teaching
that you find on this site doesn't come out of fantastic experience but
out of the Word of God. Scripture proving scripture with the Bible
teaching Bible the way that God wants us to learn from it. To some of you
the Holy Spirit is already talking to you about this. Others will have to
pray about it but many will not believe it until it begins to unfold
before their eyes. However it may be with each and every one of us, we are
living in the last days and God has a work for us to do. Your brother in Christ |
