Jesus Desires Friendship
More than Lordship
I’m 75 years old and for the last 35 years I’ve been seeking to experientially know each of the Godhead as a distinctive Divine Being. They are Three-in-One but intuitively I knew each One wanted to be known by me in a profoundly deep, intimate relationship. I can only guess at why I was chosen to write these books but like all mysteries of God, They will reveal the answer when the time is right. Which leads me to this question: “Is this the right time you’ve been waiting for to know your Father, Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in ways you never fathomed?” If I am who They believe me to be, then perhaps these books will be the start of a new journey for you to discover facets of the Godhead you haven’t been taught in your church. I am only opening a door and it’s up to you to continue the discussions I initiate. Ask for clarification. Ask how this applies to your life. Seek Their wisdom and knowledge. With each answer, open your heart to love your Father, Jesus, and the Spirit more.
I am just the scribe recording what I’ve been told to write. I absolutely won’t take any credit for what I’ve written in any of my books. The honor I have received to record the revelations from each of the Godhead is priceless, beyond anything this world can offer. I’m just a man, actually a donkey like Balaam’s donkey, who has been given a task to share some mysteries that God wanted His children to know. Countless times I’ve written pages and gone back to edit and clean up many muddled thoughts and said to myself, “How can I write these words and present them as truths when I don’t know any of this? I’ve never read them or heard someone teach them!” One day when I was fretting over my responsibility to write and publish knowledge, wisdom, ways, and the thoughts of God as He revealed them to me. I said once more, “I don’t know this!” and the Lord replied, “You do now!”
The Spirit of Truth has been my Encourager. I have been totally dependent on Him to reveal His truths and to stop me when I’m writing something fabricated by my mind. The Spirit has brought His fruit of peace to my mind when He reminds me of a vision I received back on August 16, 2018:
I was sitting on our sofa praying before going to the prayer meeting with the men in our church. It was 5:45 and I started to stand up to get my Bible, keys, and wallet when the Lord said, “Sit down.” I don’t always hear His voice so clear and authoritative, but this was as if I heard Him with my physical ears. I sat down and explained I needed to go to Man Prayer, but He said, “It’s become a religious routine for you. Sit down.” I obeyed and closed my eyes to wait for Him to speak again. Instead, three visions appeared.
The first one was of a blue sphere descending into view, but it was connected to some whitish cord that seemed organic. There was a membrane attached to the sphere that seemed connected to the cord. It stopped a few feet from the ground and turned very slowly. I sensed or discerned it was alive but just watched it for a while and finally asked what I was seeing. Silence.
Then a second vision replaced the first vision, and I was looking at a large white board, like an eraser board used in a classroom. On the board were written faint equations as if the green marker had been running out of its green solution. The equations were similar to algebraic equations with equal signs separating the two parts of a problem that needed to be solved. I was looking from an elevated position as if I was a student in a sloping classroom a couple rows from the front. I again asked for the purpose of this vision but again there was only silence.
The third vision was an opaque wall, the color of a white egg. The wall seemed to extend endlessly in both directions but there seemed to be an end to its height. The wall was seamless and intuitively I knew it had not been created by humans. As I stared at it, I could see it had very small pockmarks like it was chiseled which led to the question, “If not human, then who made this?” I was met with the same quietness and was puzzled by what these three visions could mean.
I sat there for a while to see if I was going to hear from the Lord explaining what He had shown me. As time passed I realized this session was over. I asked Him to open my mind for His revelations, but it began to sink in, this wasn’t the time for understanding. I opened my eyes and was surprised 45 minutes had passed. I wasn’t going to go to the prayer meeting because I had been admonished that it was a religious routine instead of a spiritual endeavor for me. I waited there a little longer and then woke up my wife, Mina, to share with her what had happened. We prayed together that I would receive clarification about what I had just experienced.
The next morning, I got up early before going to work so I could spend sufficient time in prayer beseeching the Lord for interpretations of the visions. He didn’t disappoint me. As the vision reappeared, His explanation for the first vision was short and sweet but confusing: “You will be rebirthed.” I immediately replied I was already born again. Real dumb. The Spirit showed me the sphere was me in an embryonic stage and the cord was like an umbilical cord to sustain me in my infantile spiritual stage. I had more questions, but the Lord spoke again as the second vision was recreated: “I will show you answers to questions about the mysteries of God that I have not shown anyone before.” That really shocked me, and I didn’t ask any further questions. I sat there for several minutes trying to comprehend the magnitude of that responsibility as well as how unprepared I was for such a task.
I waited to hear from Him about the third vision and finally asked what it meant. The room remained quiet, and I finally accepted I wasn’t going to hear from the Lord. The next morning, I was praying about the visions, and the Lord spoke to me about the wall in the third vision: “It is your wall of protection.” My mind was opened to hear from my spirit that the Lord had established a wall of protection from the forces of darkness. I found out later this wall didn’t prevent all spiritual attacks from the forces of evil.
The second vision and the Spirit’s frequent reminders have inspired my courage to keep writing. I have come to trust I was being given His wisdom as I wrote. Yes, I’ve made mistakes, and the Spirit has convicted me when He didn’t want a section to be a part of the book, even if it was true. While trying to shrink these books down by looking for words, sentences, paragraphs, and big chunks to delete, I’m amazed at what is written! I have no clue where I would have received this knowledge except from the Lord Jesus and His Spirit of Truth. To confirm this, I was told by Them that this is for me:
“Because of this, every man learned in the sacred scriptures who has accepted the precepts and instructions with reference to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the master of a house, who is of such character that he dispenses with hearty enjoyment out of his treasure-house, things new as to quality and also things mellowed with age by reason of use.” (Matthew 13:52)
It wasn’t until years later that I remembered a similar event that happened in 1969, when I was 19. I had been baptized by the Holy Spirit in 1966 and was just beginning to explore my new spiritual life in college. One night I was praying with my roommate, Howie, who was also Spirit-filled. He shared a vision he just had of me standing in front of a large crowd and I was teaching. He said I was going to be a teacher and teach things God had not shown any man before. Because of my spiritual immaturity, I thought that sounded cool but didn’t have any idea what I should do. 49 years later, the Lord Jesus instructed me that the time had come to begin recording His wisdom and knowledge, so I reluctantly began writing.
If I believe everything I’ve written about Psalm 139:16 and believe what the Godhead wrote in my book concerning the eternal purpose for my existence, then I have to keep writing. I ask for God’s wisdom every minute I write but if I fail to keep writing out of fear of criticism or rejection, I’m nothing more than a wave in a storm:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” (James 1:5-6)
