This temple, of dust, was imputed with the spirit, of Christ’s body, at conception:
that is I came to this world, by the loins of the Father, and was given a terrestrial temple: to
carry out my measure of God’s plan. At the first, as all spirits, I walked in the terrestrial mind.
[The invisible things are known by the things that are made Romans 1:20.] As a physical child,
has to grow through stages, the spiritual child is bound, by the same procedure.
My spiritual war began at conception, as terrestrial hard times were all around; this
would effect my physical temple somewhat. About the age of eighteen months I was attacked
by a house cat trying to take my sight. I was literally cut, by the cat’s claws, from the forehead
down across my cheeks. The eyes were not damages, due to an angel (entity of God’s Word)
covering the eyes.
Many tribulations, tests, trials, etc., were employed, on my terrestrial temple, as I grew
into childhood. And again about twelve years, of age, I was shot in the face with a shotgun,
by accident, while hunting. Again, I believe, this was an attempt on my eye sight. Nevertheless
I my eyes were not affected.
Then the third attack on my eyes: as I walked through a room,
where acid batteries were being charged, I was at least twenty feet from
the charging batteries, one of them exploded, as acid flew all
the way across the space, between the batteries and me: entering
in one of my eyes. I felt the acid hit my cheek, but was not sure
if it was in my eye or not. I immediately washed both eyes out, with
fresh water. However, the next day one of my eyes was like a city
map, with red streaks all through it: indicating the acid had
tried to eleminate an eye. A nurse, at the work place,
gave me some ointment, to apply in the eys, and it is still good
today. Praise the Lord.
In my present time: the spirit is leading me to compose my life story, in a book,
therefore I will not disclose all my spiritual growth in this testimony, only enough to inform
others of the trials, tests, and tribulations, encountered by God’s children, I will give an ample
amount of encounters, experiences, etc., so that others will know they are not the only ones
tested in the flesh, during their journey through this world. Testing to make perfect, the spirit
within, for the reuniting of God’s temple.
Along about grade school age, I met a wonderful lady, Mrs. Henderson: beautiful in
heart, and temple; she brought something in my heart, to life: that inspired a closer relationship
to the Word of God. From the teachings, and influence, of Mrs. Henderson, I began to think
of becoming a preacher, and ask my mom if she cared for her son being a preacher: she said
she didn’t mind, and nothing more was ever said about it. It seem that a person, when drawing
closer to God, knows nothing to do but become a pastor. There are multitudes of paths, for
the fervent seeker, to travel, but like of knowledge will result in many seeking the pastoral
attribute.
As I grew into physical manhood, I was sent to several areas, of the world, to learn.
Never did I encounter a spiritual person, after Mrs. Henderson, that influences my spiritual
growth as she did, but the terrestrial knowledge was all around, tryin my stability in the Word.
At teen age, I accepted the spiritual baptism, and lingered on in the milk, of the Word,
for many years. Idle, and ever learning not being able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The military service occupied many years, of my life, for terrestrial purposes.
However I did not go without some spiritual work being accomplished. While in the military
service, many men would come to me for advice, and help, in their struggles against the
terrestrial system. I was blessed with the spirit, even though I was not aware of it, to help, and
advise, these guys: for a better way of life. Even, many years later, one man told me, I was the
cause of him turning to the Lord, and he was working fervently in God’s ministry, because of
our fellowship.
As I have grown in spirit, I know that all paths cross, for the glory of God’s plan. His
Word goes forth into the world, in physical temples, to accomplish that which He pleases,
and for His pleasure. Now if it is for His pleasure, then it is for my pleasure too, because I am
an entity of His body.
Then I began to hear the calling, of the spirit, to abandon the organized church, which
I had been part of, since coming to live in the fleshly temple. I walked the floor, talking to the
Lord about this change in my life. I could not understand just why I was to leave the
organized church. [It is hard to make a change after years of following a things.] Anyway I left
the organized church, as the spirit gave me a very, very, very, fervent desire to read, study,
and learn, the written Word. Many have told me, that I was not going to make the Kingdom of
God, without being in the organized church: however I see where the Word tells me: “Come
out from among them, less ye be destroyed with them”. Who is right, God, or terrestrial minds?
The spiritual drawing would not leave me alone, both night, and day. I had to be in the
bible, KJV, twenty four hours every day, for three solid years: a total abstinence, of terrestrial
thoughts, words, and works. I ate with the bible beside my plate, reading, studying,
absorbing, celestial knowledge. Every awaking minute I had to be in the Word. At nights, what
little sleep I accomplished, for the physical temple, I was having celestial dreams, and visions
while awake. During this time, I was revealed, by the spirit, all the end time prophesy
interpretations, by celestial understanding. The order, of events, in prophesy was revealed to
me as a basic understanding, that I would not be confused by the adversaries that would
imply I was alone in my understanding. Jesus, and me, is a majority. You are too, when you
follow Him.
My physical temple could not take this higher plain of knowledge: the hair on my neck
would stand out, my body would sense chills all over it, my terrestrial experienced fear that I
had never know, and I could not conceive the things I was receiving. I had begin to
understand that the higher knowledge, of the spirit, was not like I had been taught by the
terrestrial knowledge, of man, and that it was all a lie to me. However we all have to walk in the
terrestrial knowledge, that we can grow. The basic, SINCERE, knowledge of the terrestrial
knowledge prepares one for the celestial. [The invisible things are known by the things that are
made Romans 1:20]. We can know the celestial things, because we have been taught the
terrestrial things, and by them we can see the invisible things. We must put these terrestrial
things away when we become celestial minded; they polute the celestial thoughts, like salt
water mixed with fresh water.
After years, of study, I often wondered what I could do with all this celestial
knowledge: then after a while, in God’s own time, and season, He gave me the answer.
Introducing me to the computer, where I could file all the documents, that I had written out in
long hand, to save for the day, of enlightenment, to my measure of work.
Later I was drawn to the Internet, and chat rooms. where I encountered many hurting,
and desperate, spirits: that needed the celestial knowledge, and security, of God’s
understanding. Now was the time for all that study to come to aid of others. It was not for me
that the spirit gave an abundance of celestial knowledge, but for me to be a conveying vessel
in sharing, the eternal truth, with those who so desperately were seeking something better, and
a higher level of thought.
With the computer, gift of the spirit, I now share with
people around the world. Those whom the spirit draws across my
path: that I may continue to finish my measure, and fulfill
the entity of God’s Word, given into my temple, that His Word
will go forth to accomplish that which He pleases, and not
return to Him void. Until it is Finished!!!
