About
I started this letter around the end of last year, 2009. I was not able to complete it, so I put it off until a few weeks ago. I was pressed in my spirit to send you these words and I realized I would be in disobedience to the Spirit of God if I didn’t. Therefore, I repented and continued the letter. Thus, I will begin sharing the beautiful intense burden the Lord laid on my heart through the Holy Spirit by beginning with an experience that took place in my life approximately thirty years ago that is connected to what God is leading me to do this year.
I experienced the presence of God in a unique and special way while sitting in the kitchen of a friend at approximately 8am. I was positioned at the kitchen table next to a window viewing the backyard; when all of a sudden I felt an overwhelming presence of love, that was and still is to this day far beyond any experience I had ever known or read about, except having read of being in the presence of God – The Glory of God’s Presence – The Holy Spirit Anointing. The expression of this Presence was of the quality of gold wrapped in infinite loving peace with the warmth of the Son. I know I was only being touched by the peripherals; any more and I would have been consumed. The love felt, permeated and seemed to extend out into eternity. I was trying intensely to see something or someone; but there was only the warm sunlight gracing the morning. I remember turning and asking my friend, “Did your feel that?” Physically I had not seen anything out of the ordinary. The reply was, “No, but something happened to you.” At that time the Presence began to depart. My heart began to ache from a great alone feeling. I was feeling an emptiness that seemed to touch the very center of my being. Nothing before or since has touched me in such a loving and eternally special way. The only comfort that was given to me came from deep within that let me know I was attached to it forever. After departing, in my spirit I could see a pathway of shimmering light like unto diamonds that extended from me out into the darkness and beyond.
Approximately 10 years passed, and during Desert Storm a Christian song called, “I Will Be with You” was released. When I heard it, the experience mentioned above came vividly back to my mind. I knew it was important that I remember the loving touch of God’s Spirit and never forget it.
In addition to the vision I had thirty years ago, God also spoke to me in dreams in 2008. While attending the Life School of Ministry at my church, the Highlands Church, Foursquare, I had a dream of the Holy Spirit ushering me into a community and I was to proclaim the arrival and herald the introduction of the Holy Spirit. The only words I had time to say were; “The Holy Spirit is here,” before being flooded over with the mighty presence of the Spirit that completely filled the atmosphere. In the dream, the eating of food was unnecessary for nurturing the body, because life in its fullness was manifested in the Spirit’s presence. What stood out most were the food items on a large tray, some cooked and others raw; there was an invisible divide between them that kept one food item from spilling over onto the next. All food items were decent and in order before the Holy Spirit. In recent months it has come to me that the various food items represented nations of the earth. I am still before the Lord for leading of the Spirit into all truth concerning the mind of God, His thoughts toward me as it relates to proclaiming, “The Holy Spirit is here.”
The same year, I also dreamed of a map, the North American continent Alaska, Canada and the lower American states. I also saw a sword, more like a dagger that appeared to extend from Alaska to the tip end of Florida. The handle of the weapon was consumed in a brilliant white light.
From conscientious prayer and fasting the above mentioned vision and dreams began to emerge as a piece of a picture or the completion of thought. I began to understand that God was revealing His will for me more than thirty years ago and continued to speak to me and clearly guide me. I am now fully persuaded that it is His will that I cycle across the United States proclaiming, “The Holy Spirit is here.”
I have been cycling long distances for more than forty years. As a result, I have transversed the United States three times on bicycle (twice from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and once in the opposite direction) In 1980, I cycled from Fairbanks Alaska to Los Angeles and God is leading me to do it again, for I know that apart from the Lord I can do nothing.
I am the cyclist proclaiming, “The Holy Spirit is here”, from Alaska to the Florida Keys. This knowing, to cycle “The Holy Spirit is here” trek is supported by four main passages of scripture, II Chronicles 7:14, Joel 2:28-32, John 5:19-21, John 16:13-16 and Mark11:22-24. These passages have been at the forefront of my thoughts while surrendering to God to step out in faith and follow the Holy Spirit.
It is with joy that I report that I have answered God’s call. My wife and I will depart Los Angeles the later part of May. I ask for your prayers and that you continue being lead by the Spirit. Thank you so very much for obeying the call God purposed for your life. I am encouraged to obey the call God has purposed for my life as well.
Blessings to You in Jesus Name,
His Servant,
