Dear Brethren,
I have been
reluctant to tell my story in full and even now I'm only going to
touch it. I wouldn't do it at all except the Lord told me to say
this. There is no way that I could ever write down all that has
happened to me in the last two years. Nearly ever day was packed
tight with God in all kinds of creative ways. I've learned and grown
and been broken and humbled in ways I never thought possible.
On November 23,
2004, I asked the Lord to make me the most dangerous person to Satan
on the planet. I didn't mean it in a competitive way, just that I
wanted to make as much difference as I could. I felt like I had a
popgun and I wanted a nuke. I offered up everything that I had if
only He would fill me all the way full of His Spirit and use me for
His purposes. I prayed for wisdom and I prayed to see through the
eyes of Jesus.
That evening He
gave me a vision of how bad things were and it wrecked me forever.
Then He sent help to guide and counsel and intercede for me. He gave
me more spirtual gifts and made me promises and started talking to me
a lot more clearly. Then the warfare started.
I've been spit on,
run off the road, pushed down stairs, had the police called on me
more than once for doing nothing. I've been lied about, cursed,
slandered, physically removed from sanctuaries for praying quietly in
the back. I've been banned from congregations, even by people that
acknowledge that I love Jesus and I'm part of the Body. I saw my
multi-million dollar business thrown in a dumpster. My wife has left
and taken the kids. My home is being foreclosed upon and the power is
out. I haven't been allowed to work a paying job in months so that
I'll depend on God for everything. I have customers and vendors and
banks and lawyers and utility companies and countless others mad at
me. I don't even know – God won't let me open the mail anymore.
As of right now (3:00pm), I still don't know for sure where I'm
spending the night tonight. And that's just in the “natural”!
In the spirit I've
had to deal with false prophets and lying spirits. I've fought
witches and warlocks and principalities. Somebody even ritually
sacrificed a cat in front of my store. I've found tarot cards jammed
in my car doors. I've fought religious spirits and Jezebels. I've had
people come and try to deliver me of the spiritual gifts God gave me.
I don't even write
down all the dreams and visions and conversations unless God tells me
to. I've seen stuff I can't even describe or repeat. I see demons on
people and buildings and cities. I see angels when I look for them
– I've met dozens in person. I've delivered people of every
imaginable kind of demonic oppression. I've seen inside people and
identified their physical illness and yanked it out and they got
healed. God started having me fast – usually without food OR
water – from one to seven days at a time. I average about four
days a week for the last two years. That's one of the strangest ones
that people don't seem to be able to explain away. But I feel great
and I've lost 80 or so pounds from my high of 310 pounds two years ago.
The Lord has
revealed a lot of stuff to me. Far more than I've ever been able (or
allowed) to write down. I have all kinds of things stored in there
for what He is about to do, but it's not time yet. I tell you all of
this because I want you to know that God is doing something here and
that He is really big and that He is able to keep you from anything
that comes at you. It's been really hard, but no war is won without
pain and suffering and loss. I asked Him to kill anything in me that
got in His way and He's faithfully answering that prayer. I'm more
humble, more broken and more utterly and completely dependent on Him
than I ever even knew was possible. And I have more peace and joy and
victory than I ever knew possible. I now KNOW that my God is bigger
than anything and that if I stand before Him broken and contrite, He
will make me a vessel fit for His service and nothing can stand
against me.
My goal is to
raise up people that look and act and think and talk and pray and cry
and love like Jesus. And it's working. There are some like that here,
though many bailed out and ran for cover when it got too hard. God is
moving here. People are getting free of every yoke, including dead
religion. Please pray for us and for me. This is really hard work and
there aren't nearly enough people helping. If you want to get
completely free and think you can handle the fire, come help build
whatever this is.
Thanks. I love you all.

Brethren,
Today my heart is
very heavy. The revelation that the Lord has dumped on me in the last
two weeks is so horrifying, so broad, so ugly, so deeply rooted that
I have been in a state of mourning for days. My normally high
"Fear of the Lord" level has been greatly increased as I
stand in even deeper awe of His righteousness and justice. I knew
things were bad, but I never really understood how really hopelessly
bad they are.
Believe me, I've
been writing about financial abuse, spiritual abuse, mismanagement,
heresy, factions and all the other things that are rampant in the
"church" for ages now. I'm not just popping off either.
I've done LOTS of research. Things are VERY dark within our own
walls. And not just the "institutional churches" either -
we have just as many "religious spirits" in the house
churches and elsewhere.
But I never saw it
for what it really is. Until I had endured enough, until I was broken
enough, until I was repentant enough, the Lord didn't open my eyes to
what is really going on. Everything that I've written and worked for
up to this point starts to make sense now. The pieces are finally all
fitting together, but the puzzle is far more depressing and ugly than
I ever believed possible.
I have just
finished a writing about this called, "The Red Dragon: The
horrifying truth about why the "church" CANNOT change."
It's only about 25 pages, but it contains some stuff that I have
never heard discussed or preached anywhere. It is purely Scriptural
and revealed to me by God Himself. I don't see how anybody could
argue with it - although I'm sure they will. It required days of
fasting and praying - and intercession from many others - just to get
the air clean enough for me to be able to write it. The warfare has
been intense all around me. The enemy REALLY does not want this
spoken out.
I know this is
unusual, but I'm not getting permission to post this on the website
yet. This email is going to those of you who have been on the FOTM
list for a long time and are still with us. I'm going to make a
request of you.
If you have ears
to hear this, email me and request it. I can tell you that it changes
the emphasis and style of my whole ministry. It doesn't negate
anything that has come before, but it sure gives me more urgency and
a softer heart! If I'm right about this, if I'm hearing right, we're
in a LOT bigger trouble than I ever thought!
Click on the link
below and just send me an email requesting the document and I'll send
it to you as a PDF file. I can't really say too much more. Just ask
the Lord if you're supposed to receive it and let me know. Then I'll
ask the Lord if I'm supposed to send it to you.
Please pray for
me. I believe that I am in God's will and on the right track. I
believe this needs to be said, but the enemy really doesn't want me
to say it. Please pray that I would speak the truth boldly and that
nothing would be able to stop me. Please pray that God would send all
of those that are to come alongside and help.
I love you all. Thanks.

Please Pray
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm asking all the
intercessors out there to please pray for me and for Liberty and for
Kansas City and whatever the work is here that God is doing. I know
that many of you pray for me regularly and I sure appreciate it. I
can't imagine trying to do this without you!
But something is
shifting. There is a realignment of forces and something new is
starting. Please pray. Particularly, ask the Lord to pour out a
spirit of repentance on Liberty and Kansas City.
For your support
of His work, may the Lord richly bless you in whatever way He thinks
best. Thanks!
If the Lord tells
you something or puts on your heart to help in some other way, please
let me know.
