Chapter 2 SPEAK - SPOKE - SPOKEN

Speak, Spoke, Spoken

When Jesus speaks a word, it is Spirit and it is life, but after His word is spoken and quoted by someone else without the Holy Spirit then it has nothing to do with Jesus. The Apostles preached the gospel by the Holy Spirit.

When the woman touched Jesus’ garment, He said “virtue has gone out of Me” the word of God is Spirit.

Jesus’ sheep know His voice.

When a seeker after God and spiritual truth could not find them in the churches of his time, he wondered if his life would be a continual search ending in disappointment. But then while praying he heard a voice saying “the Living Jesus Christ can speak to your condition.”

He rejoiced because now he knew from his own deep personal experience. “When all my hope in churches, religion and bibles was gone, I heard a voice which said “It is by the inner voice, the inner light which is available to all having nothing to do with ceremonies, rituals, creeds, books or doctrines.” Everyone with the Holy Spirit is a walking church and their heart is God’s altar and shrine.

Ask Jesus for the Holy Spirit and then you can truly know Him and not just know about Him.

One time Jesus spoke to me when I was praying and fasting, He stood by my bedside and called my name and said “I will start delivering you like I delivered Israel.”

In 1970 while sitting on the platform of a big Pentecostal tent meeting, a crystal ivory dome came down over me and Jesus spoke to me “The bible is an idol.”

In 1977 while praying one afternoon for my tent revival meeting that evening, I fell into a trance, a window from heaven opened above me and Jesus spoke to me “The sons of God will be manifested.” Then two days later the same thing happened, I fell into a trance and this time Jesus spoke “My voice will be heard again in the land.”

I was having trouble understanding the difference between the real mind of Jesus from the religious mind about Him from studying the bible. At times when He spoke to me it seemed contradictory, but I knew it was Jesus.

I know Him and I know His voice, so one time I fasted on v8 and prayed for forty days. He caught me away in a vision and told me “Don’t give up.”

One time I asked Jesus “How do I know you?” and I was taken in a vision to a valley where there were many men that all looked alike and as I passed through them, I did not know them, but then I came to Jesus who looked like the rest of the men but I knew it was Him and I asked Him “How did I find you Lord?” and He said “We love each other, we have memories together, you are my son.”

One time when I was sick nearly unto death, I fasted and prayed for 14 days. I was in a lot of excruciating pain when Jesus came through the door dressed as the High Priest, He went into me and through me. Later He told me “You are the temple of God.” And He healed me of my pain.

Another time while walking under some trees along the side of the road in Mexico and praying, Jesus spoke to me “You are not free.” And I said “The truth has set me free.” Jesus said “You must be free both spiritually and physically.” So, my wife Diana and I went about to get free from physical bondage. It took a few more years, but by working, saving, living close to the vest and with the help of Jesus we finally got fully free, as much as possible in this world today, for common folk anyway.

Jesus has spoken to me and my wife Diana many times in visions, dreams, revelations and by the Holy Spirit. Once when we had visited an independent community church in Florida and told the people this truth, one of the men got up in front of the church carrying a bible in his hand above his head saying “This book is the best thing God ever sent us.” Not Jesus and not the Holy Spirit, but the bible.

That night my wife was troubled by this and kept seeing it over and over again in her mind, how that they loved a book about Jesus more than they loved Him.

And then she saw an arm coming down from the ceiling towards her with a scar on the hand as Jesus reached down and took her hand and shook it and said “Congratulations, welcome to the brotherhood” and a vision of Jesus and many of His disciples that had been killed for preaching the truth appeared before her.

This is the way Jesus controls His people, by His voice and by the Holy Spirit.

None of the words in the bible are to us today, although the everlasting covenant is the same, and some of the prophecies are yet to be fulfilled, but we do not have it by claiming scriptures. The scriptures were to the people that it was spoken to 2000 years ago that had the Holy Spirit.

So read it as history, but not for faith to you or authority from God to you. You must hear His voice to you today by the Spirit of the Living God and not steal the words of others from the past.

Our bodies are the temple of the Living God when Christ is in us. No one can truthfully say that Jesus is their Lord except by the Holy Spirit, not by the bible.

Satan has deceived the world by making them think that the bible is the word of God to them and that they have what it says, when it is a dead letter not written to them at all.
