Inhaltsangabe

The cover of this book was designed to draw attention to the manifest knowledge and power of our Awesome Creator and to extend that concept down to the intimate, personal nature of a love beyond measure for His most prized creation: mankind, whom He "created in His own image". (Gen. 1:26) My Lord Jesus has blended these realities in my heart and mind through the miracles He has worked in my life since He turned my heart to believe in Him, which he did through healing of terminal cancer and other miracles. All of these experiences are true! Some are Spiritual and some physical. May your eyes be opened to His reality as you read this book.

CHAPTER 1

This is the name God gave to Moses when Moses asked, "Who shall I tell them sent me", Exodus 3:13 &14. [13] And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is His name? What shall I say unto them?

[14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

I understand this to mean, whatever you need me to be, I AM. Also, from God's perspective, whatever He needs to be to accomplish his work, He is. He is totally self sufficient. He does not need anyone or anything. He chooses to work through us, because He loves us and it results in blessings for us when He uses us.

This does not mean that He needs us in order to do His work. He does "delight" in us, His creation. Proverbs 8:[30] Then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him;

It gives me a tremendous feeling of security and peace knowing that my God is able to take care of anything that comes against me. Isaiah 43:11 states, "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." Isaiah 9:6 states, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful; Counselor; The Mighty God; The Everlasting Father; The Prince of Peace."

This seems obvious to me that it is referring to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

During the past thirty-six (36) years the Lord has revealed Himself in my life in many different ways. I have felt the Lord encouraging me to share much of what He has been and done for me so that others will know that He is still alive and well and continues to work in our lives as He did in the days of the early church.

All we need to do is to BELIEVE that He is real and He will answer us when we call.

As stated in Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not:", and Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and for ever." This book is a part of the "dream" or vision, whichever you choose to call it, that He; the Great I AM has given me.

Psalm. 66:8 "O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of His praise to be heard."

It is my prayer that my voice of His praise will encourage others to believe in our Great I AM

I have been a believer in God the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, who are one, for as long as I can remember. My parents believed and told us that God created the heavens and the earth, but didn't really talk about their faith much. My mother did have several warnings of impending danger and because of one of these warnings, one of my brother's life was spared. She also had a personal spiritual deliverance from a deep depression which she was unable to pull herself out of. At the point of suicide she called out to Jesus and He delivered her. As I remember her telling me about it, when she went to bed she told the Lord that if He didn't help her, she feared that she would commit suicide. Suddenly she was aware of someone lifting her out of her bed and carrying her down a long hallway. There were closed doors on either side except for one door which was open slightly and a tiny bit of light shone out into the hallway. The person carried her into that room which had a long table in the center. He laid her on the table then left the room. She said there was just a tiny light in one corner in the ceiling and somehow she knew she had to keep her eyes on that light and that she would be safe.

Then she felt a whirling sensation in her chest. It began as a small circle and kept growing larger and faster. As the sensation increased so did the Light in the room. She said it continued until she felt as if her chest was about to explode and then it stopped and the room was full of Light. The person who brought her here returned; carried her back to her bed and left. She said the room was still full of Light and she thought she must have left her reading light on but as she reached up to turn off the light the room was dark. The depression was gone. She said she had never felt so happy in her life as she did at that moment and the joy continued into the next day.

When she awoke in the morning she still had that overwhelming joy and peace. The depression was gone and did not return! Praise Jesus! (John 6:8 Jesus said : I am the LIGHT of the world.)

I learned the basic Gospel at our local church, but somehow no one ever told me you had to invite Jesus into your heart and accept him as Lord of your life. This was explained to me by a Baptist gentleman who worked with a man I was currently living with. One day I saw this gentleman reading his Bible and I asked what he was reading. The end result of that conversation was that I accepted Christ not only as LORD, but as LORD of my life and invited Him into my heart. It was a very special moment for me and I cried. This took place in the summer of 1974.

I developed a hunger to know more about the Lord and wanted to get to know Him on a personal level. Within a month or two after I had acknowledged Jesus as LORD and invited Him into my heart to be LORD of my life, He revealed himself as my leader when He led me to a Spirit filled church. By this I mean a church that believes in the baptism of the Holy Ghost whereby the gifts are made manifest for believers today.

For the first time in my life I saw people doing what the Bible says believers should do.

(Mark 16: [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

I saw people being healed after they were anointed with oil and the pastor and others layed hands on them and prayed. They also spoke in tongues "As the Spirit gave them utterance". (Acts 2:4)

Years later I would see visions; experience dreams wherein the Lord spoke to me and the working of miracles besides being healed of ovarian cancer.

After leading us to the Spirit filled church, He convicted me of the sin in my life. I was living with a man outside of wedlock.

Psalm 23:3 states, "He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." When we become born again (definition of a Christian), we are taking on his name and He expects us to walk uprightly before Him. Does this mean we live without sin? No, that is an impossibility. As long as we live in this human body we still have the sin nature. However, we also have the Holy Spirit within us to help us resist temptations. (Romans 7 :20-25)

I Peter 1:16 states, "Be ye holy; for I am Holy."

The Holy Spirit was working on my conscience but I did not pay attention. I continued to live in sin. Then one day we went to visit one of my brothers and his wife. As we were walking up the walk way to their home, my brother came out to meet us. He told us that we could not come in because his wife said as long as we were living together, she could not let us in her home. He apologized but said, "she says that is what the Bible says we are supposed to do and I have to respect her wishes."

I Corinthians 5:11 states, "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a...
