I was saved in 1971. I did not know any other believers. I was saved reading a tract. I
picked up a copy of the Living Bible and read about receiving the Holy Spirit in
the Book of Acts. I decided I wanted this experience... even tho I knew no
believers and was not sure how to proceed. I knelt down next to my bed and asked
to receive the Holy Spirit and fully expected to begin to speak with tongues.
Instead of speaking with tongues I began to prophesy. I can still remember the
first words I ever spoke from the Spirit"
"My child, I have loved you with a great love..."
Acts 19:6 KJV 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the
Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Shortly
after this I began to have dreams and visions of the night. These experiences
were a manifestation of the Word of Wisdom. I know this (now) because these
dreams and visions of the night contained information that is not know by men
and could not be know via natural ways. "Word of knowledge" is information that
is know by men and could be found via natural ways. Some of the things involved
the future (I had a vision of the night in 1971 that revealed all the
presidential administrations starting from Truman in the 50s (when I was born)
through the next two presidents. Not by name...but represented by "houses" on a
street.)
I had a dream one night where I found myself in a cave out in a desert
place. I stepped to the entrance of the cave and written across the sky with
letters made of clouds was the word "REVELATION". In this the Lord was telling
me that if I set myself apart and dedicate myself to His word, I will manifest
the word of wisdom, which is the spiritual gift that enables you to know things
that could not be know by natural means(like things in the future). So for the
last 33 years I have been experiencing these dreams, visions of the night, and
of course WOW via prophecy.
Word of wisdom is different from human wisdom that
we all have. It is not making wise decisions or having profound thoughts. It is
the manifestation of a gift of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will use this gift in
prophets and teachers to give insight into the plans and purposes of God in the
Church, the nations, the world as a whole, and the future. Notice it is a "word"
of wisdom. It is not a sentence,paragraph, and certainly not a whole book. A
word means a single piece of a thought or concept. It is sometimes a detail of a
larger picture. It is like looking through a spy glass at a scene. You do not
always get the big picture.
Once I had a vision of the night where a tapestry
was lowered down from heaven. On this tapestry was a series of weapons starting
with ancient swords and spears and proceeding through modern weapons... even
some we have not even seen yet! In the final panel of the tapestry there were
Jets being shot down by what looked like laser beams. I saw a great battle being
fought, and I saw the flags of many nations... including Israel, the USA, and
the European nations (blue flag with white stars). In the final panel I saw
Jesus decending from the clouds against the backdrop of a nuclear explosion.
This is a manifestation of the word of wisdom because these are events that
could not be known by natural means.
The Word of Knowledge is information that
is known by men and could be discovered by natural means. If I came to you and
told you all that you ever did, that would be WOK. The information is already
known, and could be discovered just by natural investigation.
One night I had a
waking vision that showed a "civil war" taking place in the church. On one side
were men marching in blue uniforms carrying sharpened sticks that were budding
with leaves. On the other side were men in grey who were carrying sticks which
were dead and had no life in them. This was a WOW for the church about what was
happening in the church world. We have seen people with "dead wood" doctrines
marching against those with "living" doctrines of the Spirit. Eventually
persecution will come that will put an end to this war and force us out of this
and into unity.
In a related dream, I saw people walking through a wooded area.
In this forest were live trees and dead trees. As we walked through these woods,
the ground began to slope away and become steeper and steeper. In the distance
this incline ended at a cliff and below that was a beach. As people walked down
this hill, it became too steep to stand and we began to slip and slide. Those of
us who grabbed the live trees were saved because these trees were strong enough
to hold us. Some people grabbed at the dead trees, which were to brittle to hold
them. These poor souls had the dead branches break off in their hands and the
fell down the hill and over the cliff! I saw some people grab living trees even
after they fell over the edge of the cliff and they were saved too! Those who
were not disappeared over edge and down to the beach. The Spirit reminded me of
Rev 13:1
Revelation 13:1 KJV
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
I am sad to say this
is the fate of many who do not have living truth. Dead wood truth will not hold
you up. The anti-christ system is emerging, and all who do not have Christ and
His word will slip into this as easy as falling downhill. One of the traits of a
true Word Of Wisdom is a burning in the hearts of those who read and hear the
word. I have been told many times that when I share these things with people and
prophesy, that they will feel a "burning" in their spirit.
