Dedication & Forward
I dedicate this book
First of all, to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, that I pray honors Him and is exactly what He wanted me to write. No more, No less. And I pray I didn’t mess it up like we talked about!
To my family and friends whom I love dearly. I changed your names to protect the innocent. Just kidding!
To Antonio and Cinzia at Masseria Usamborgia. To whom the Lord led me. They took me in and fed me and took care of me so that I could be still and write this book. May He bless you richly…
Luke 10:5-9 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
(Fear here can also be translated as Reverence)
2 Timothy 3:15-16 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Foreward
God allowed me to take the picture on the cover of this book in March of 2023. Most of that story is in Chapter 8 – Jesus for those of you who like to skip ahead. The Holy Spirit stirred me to write this book, knowing that the picture wouldn’t be believable without the story in this age of artificial intelligence.
He has also given me visions and knowledge of things to share with you, along with my own personal testimonies to hopefully squelch the crazy factor. I say that because I know some of it sounds unbelievable, I still think that myself reading and reflecting on everything. But, it is all true and divinely inspired for all of us.
The bible describes Jesus coming in the clouds, which you can see in the picture. When that happens for real. When He comes to reclaim the earth and set everything back in perfect order as it was. Including you and me…. We have to be ready.
We have to make ourselves ready for the bridegroom as a chaste virgin having not worshipped anything else besides God. No other false idols. We need to have faith in Christ and know the Word of God. Which are one in the same. I will go into all of this more in the coming chapters, but I believe God allowed me to take that picture to tell you that you need to GET READY NOW. Repent of your sins, turn to Jesus and love Him and study your bibles. It’s not a lot to ask. There is a day coming when it is a day too late, and He will shut the door on you and say I never knew you.
It has taken me a long time to realize the depth of God’s love for me (and you). I don’t think we can truly grasp it until we get to heaven. But this life is a beautiful scavenger hunt where He leaves little crumbs of miracles to slowly uncover Himself, His love and even more amazing who YOU are.
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD
Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant and doesn’t change that fact. Whether you acknowledge Him in your life or not, He still loves you. He has been chasing you for centuries and you are his lost sheep. He will leave the ninety-nine to go after the ONE.
You are the reason we are still here and not in the garden. He wants all of his children with Him. And we will continue to live this life with satan and his fallen angels until all have been converted and found.
Satan is the only one that is condemned. The only one… it was his pride that caused him to fall. But he won’t repent and considers himself as God. Everything else is forgivable with repentance…
I know that is a hard thing to understand. Our instinct is to judge others and ourselves. But think about it. God created all of those individuals and only He knows their heart… their upbringing… their mental issues… He is the potter. We aren’t to question and definitely it is not for us to judge. He weaves everything! Even the bad stuff for the good of those who love Him.
Have Faith.
There is a LOT of scripture quoted in here because that is how God reveals Himself to me, and to anyone really. The Holy Spirit will start to put in your mind things that He wants you to study further and pay attention to, if you ask Him, and it is a beautiful hunt for the truth. But you have to have faith, and you have to study for that to happen. Actually, the more you study the more faith you will have as you come more and more into the truth.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
I love that He will bring things to your remembrance. You knew these things before. The Word says He has written His laws on your heart and put His words in your mind. I always think of how they say that we really only use about ten percent of our brains. I truly think the other ninety percent will be awakened when we go to Heaven. It will be complete and total recall of all of the beauty that you came from! How cool is that?
Along those same lines when we see color, science tells us that what we are seeing is all of the colors at once except that color. We are really seeing the absence of that color. I believe that to be our blindness in this world caused by sin, separating us from God. There are many references in the bible of the Shakina glory, which is the throne of the Lord. It is all of the colors and brilliance of them at once. Like only the ten percent use of our brains, I think we can only see about that much color. How amazing it will be to see ALL of the colors at once and the beauty of God’s Glory and his throne when we get to Heaven!
All of the scripture here is quoted from the King James Bible. If you are inspired after reading this and want to study more in depth. I recommend getting a companion bible that has a running outline to the side that helps keep subject and object straight and offers some help with translations. I’m a big fan of, if it doesn’t sound right google what it was, in what language and how it should read. Although that seems to not be as reliable these days, so good to have a concordance (Strongs is a good one) to help you take things back into the original language.
I also quoted the scripture without each individual verse being identified. I did this because even that demarcation is a translation, and I wanted you to read the scriptures together as a whole to absorb the context.
I’m sure that there will be many that disagree with everything I’ve said or even quoted. I can only share with you what the Holy Spirit shared with me. I ask you to pray for discernment before reading this book and for God to open the eyes of your heart. And, I encourage you to open your bibles and read it for yourselves, and develop that relationship with your Father. He will lead you. He will never forsake you. I love you all, sweet brothers and sisters!
