    Chapter 13 - Getting back to where I once belonged:

    Resurrection Sunday at Faith Outreach Center.

    Though out this return to walking it out Right. I'd been doing on line services with live streams. To them I phoned in my tilth each week. Thru this cleansing period the Lord led me to some Perry Stone You-Tube shows and others that pointed to some unclean spirits that had been attached too or hampering my faith journey. I prayed them out with them and made note of what I had to do.

    This was the Church where I turned Pentecostal and using the Word of Faith things. Where I got my prayer language "Baptized in the Holy Spirit".

    Where I repented on an Resurrection Sunday in 2004. Pastor Dan Mundt gave me a word before I left the Church that morning. He said "It takes acts of obedience to empower the Holy Spirit".

    I knew from times before that the attacks would be on me as soon as I left the Church. And they were, but I had that Peace that passes all understanding on me. I did what the Pastor Dan Mundt said to do, in time I got scriptures in me to fight the Good fight. Believe me the devil was on me 7 times stronger. My mind was a battlefield.

    The Church was packed. Most folks did not recognize me with all the hair and the beard. I went to the Breakfast, got to talk with Pastor Terry Baldwin. When our talk was getting done, I asked him if he had a word for me. He kind of shook his head a bit then said "Enjoy" as I sure did.

    I have watched "The Passion of the Christ" on all Good Friday's since 2004. Kind of was a tradition thing I did. This time, it crushed me, broke me down. The Spirit fed me words and things thru speaking in tongues. Somethings very direct that I understood. My living room must have been a glow, because the Holy Spirit was on me hard! After the movie. In a long tear filled discussion with the Lord and all things He had directed me too for direction and correction. I acknowledged and repented. He wanted me to go back to where it all started for me in becoming "Born-Again". Where I am a member.

    None of my kids could make it, 2 were on vacation and the youngest had to work that morning at Taco Bell. But my son says him and his wife were looking for a Church to attend. Proof God is at work, Praise His Name.

    Chapter 14 ~ The signs & wonders I have seen, with my own eyes.

    UFO's during the Passion Movie span many sightings of UFO's where discussed. 2 places here during the Good Friday premiere at our town theater. A lady drew a picture of the object and they placed the article in our local newspaper. Each of the sites were about 10 miles from my house one east and the other west of me. A Brother I know was posting seeing it and all the wonder why's and stuff about it.

    Then I told him well ya know the Passion movie was playing in town, So I said now think about it, why do you think that stuff happened. Then he said oh yeah, the light blub went off in his mind. Yeah, Satan has power and to distract folks from what God was doing, he did that.

    Now the drawing the lady put in the paper and the description of it. With an outline of flashing light around the bottom of the circled aircraft with a dome like portion on the top. Similar like movie picture like stuff. Well, when I was around 12 or 13, I seen the same thing one afternoon. When I was going in the upstairs bedroom where we had the CB radio base to get on the CB.

    I pass by the west window that looked out to the pasture field and I notice the tops of the Timothy hay seed pods were just dancing around and it caught my eye. So I looked out the window and that was what I saw. My Brother Bill was coming in the room as I was watching it in awe ya know. I said Billy look at this. He looked down and saw it and we watched a bit and then it just zipped up into the sky and disappeared. So we talk a bit with all the wow's and stuff and Billy told me, don't ever tell any body what we saw, cause they will think your crazy.

    The rest of the day we at times would look at each other and that man thought would be on us, and shake our heads. Then we never talked about it again. Somewhere between 20 years of so later I brought it up to him and he said no I don't remember that happening, I just was like what? Ok then.

    But on the thing of seeing strange stuff. I was probably around 6 years old or so. In the other up stairs bedroom of that farm house (which I believe was cursed) where I grew up at. We had bunk beds up stairs in them 2 rooms for us 4 boys. But I was asleep in the bottom bunk and I turned around to the south window and this powerful bright shining light was shinning through it and it just caught my eye. I thought maybe there was a big full moon out there or something. So I got up and looked up through the window to check it out.

    Then I was just in awe at what I was seeing. It was so huge up in the clear night sky. And I thought it was an angel. It had long streams of light pointing out the sides of the figure. It was a lady dressed in like a shepherds cloak, a vesture that covered her head. I could not see her hair but she was a very beautiful young woman with her cheek resting against a big shepherds cane or tall staff.

    I just gazed at it in wonder, then smiled and said Mary, that's Mary. I looked for awhile then returned back to bed smiling and fell back asleep.

    Now while going through my conversion I read in the Scriptures about Satan appearing as an angel of light and that night came back in my thoughts. I asked the Lord about it and the Holy Spirit told me it was a lie. Then I asked why was I allowed to see that at such a young age? I never got an answer to that question.

    Now with the end-mill experience with the 1 inch diameter end mill tool bit. Where I went to deep into the steel from my setting on the digital screen depth measurement. And I pulled the tool back up and then ran it across the hole to knock off the burrs of steel and as I ran it across the piece and watched the steel fill back up into the hole on the piece I was working on. That was not a lie. Because Scriptures backs that as well. God will reveal Himself to you.

    After the machine went back off the piece and stopped. I just looked up to the ceiling and said Father thank you for showing me that. (Imagine the Joy I had.) I always believed You were real, Lord. I was just in such joy and smiling like giggles. But, Wows, Lord, that sure was awesome. Then thought well, no one will believe that if I tell them. But I told the 2 men who were discipling me. At the end of that day I came through the birth canal and became Born-Again. The 7 times stronger stuff stopped the devil fled.

    The next morning I was witnessing to a young man who I was training tool & die work and I wonder about telling him about that. At the end of presenting him the Gospel message. These words just came out of my mouth, "I fixed your life, like I fixed that piece of steel" I didn't have any thought of saying that. It was if the Lord just took over and it came out.

    Luk 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

    Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you

    Chapter 15 ~ My Friends in Christ

    "Elders of the Church Body" I mean that by folks who have been in the Faith for a long time. Their knowledge, wisdom, experience & educational background and teachings I can trust it. You know, things I might need in direction & edification of things of the Holy Spirit's work.

    I am a for real guy, I bring my testimony right to the Letter. Like this thread I have here. I know some have made comments on this thread and I appreciate your insight on things. As I do with anyone that comments on a post I make. I am surprised there is not more really, on things they might see that might have been happening. Or where they may think God is directing me in my calling. Whether good or bad or direction/correction. I cannot be offend on this site, one bit, so please comment.

    I have no distractions in my life anymore, which is a plus as well as a Blessing. A request I pray every morning during my time with the Lord, I say this "Open me up to the Hope of my calling. May the eyes of my heart be drawn to the passions and desires of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Also I ask the Lord "to use me to do greater things than these as Jesus said in His Word."

    I've matured much & getting into the "Meat" of things in my walk with the Lord. The sanctification continues in me everyday, Praise His Name.

    I can say: If you ever walked a mile in my shoes you'd understand why its "freaked my weirdness" for sure. As well as I never walked a mile in yours. Folks up bringing's are different in all things in this life. Their world is quite different than mine and I can relate.

    I don't have a to go to person in Christ to have a discussion in things I am going through or experiences I am moving in with the Holy Spirit. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" I am directed to Ministries here on the net where I get education and knowledge of things. Because I pray for God to give me wisdom, and He gives it freely by directing me to these teachings so I may be edified. Thank You Jesus!

    So I am here because this is a Church body in Spirit where I can get edification and direction & knowledge of things of the Lord. I know I have folks who pray for me here! Brothers & Sisters in Christ I feel them and they are being answered. From my heart of hearts I thank you all!!!
