From The Mountaintop To The Valley

Obedience to GOD brings blessings.  As a result of obeying YAHWEH, in the matter of delivering His petition to my pastor in Allen, Texas, I feel very blessed and my confidence has soared.  I feel as though I am elevated to the top of the mountain.   I begin to seek YAHWEH as to whom He wants me to deliver His petition to next.  He reveals to me that I should start by delivering the petition to every pastor that I have ever been personally associated with over my 45-year pilgrimage as a Christian.  I quickly begin to recall names from my memory and make a list of these Christian leaders.  However, I quickly realize that I will not be able to deliver the petition to every pastor on my list because some of them are now deceased.

In the meantime, I determine to postpone delivering anymore petitions to anymore pastors until I hear back from my pastor in Allen.  I am anxiously waiting to receive either a call or email from him regarding the petition after he reads it, just as he promised.  We are not able to attend the church in Allen since Sunday March 19, 2017 because we are spending weekends at our country home..  Days turn into weeks and still no feedback from. the pastor.  I hope the pastor will be excited about repenting and obeying the commandments of YAHWEH, just like my wife and I did after being confronted with the same truths.  However, as more time expires I become somewhat depressed and I begin to sense in my spirit that any forthcoming feedback may not be as promising as I have hoped.

A Time Of Fear And Trembling

YAHWEH'S petition is now complete and edited.  GOD begins to reveal to me my next task.  He reveals to me, through numerous sleepless nights while I toss and turn in my bed, that He wants me to hand-deliver His Petition to the pastor of our church in Allen, Texas.  I must admit that I do not relish the idea of what GOD is now asking me to accomplish.  I procrastinate and wrestle with GOD over these instructions.  I begin to rationalize to myself, “maybe I am misunderstanding what GOD is telling me to do.”  “Surely, YAHWEH would not be calling me to add insult to injury."  "Surely, the pastor is already broken enough and experiencing enough turmoil as a result of the situation regarding his son and the shooting incident.”  However, after about four weeks of me struggling with GOD, I sense within my spirit that if I do not obey the call of GOD then I am in grave danger of being in rebellion against YAHWEH.

Therefore, after the church service ends on March 19, 2017,  I request to meet privately with the pastor.  In fear and trembling I humbly and lovingly present him with YAHWEH's petition, just as GOD has instructed me to do.  I tell the pastor that I love him very much and that I have been very reluctant for this day and time to come.  During our meeting, I share with the Pastor a word from the Scriptures, Hosea 4:6, that GOD has given me specifically for him.  I also tell the pastor that I sense in my spirit that the shooting incident between his son and the neighbor is from GOD and that he is being chastised and corrected for the belligerent behavior that he had manifested toward GOD’S Torah at the men’s Bible study. The pastor does not read the petition during our brief meeting but assures me that he will read it and get back to me in the near future so that we can talk.  When the meeting is over, I hug the pastor and again reaffirm my love and appreciation for him.  I then leave, along with my wife Dottie, to go home with full assurance in my spirit that GOD has truly called me to be a prophet to his pastors and under-shepherds.

Continued Revelations And YAHWEH'S Petition Emerges

Over the next several weeks GOD reveals to me that He is calling me to confront His pastors and under-shepherds in regards to their offence of unknowingly breaking His commandments.  He tells me that I must only approach them in a spirit of truth and love and not a spirit of condemnation or anger.  He reveals that if they will humble themselves before GOD and  become teachable that He will bless them mightily and will begin to fix them spiritually even as He has begun to do for my wife and myself.  He further reveals to me that if they respond with indifference, arrogance, obstinance or rebellion that this action will result in bringing a curse upon their life, their family, and their ministry and that He will begin to chastise and correct them.

Throughout the month of February 2017, YAHWEH GOD leads me to draft and refine a 4-page document that He will ultimately have me present to Christian Pastors and Under-shepherds.  This document, which takes the format of a petition, is titled "The Redress of Grievances of The Almighty GOD, YHWH, Against His Under-Shepherd, Namely:”

Word Of A Tragic Situation

We return to our home in the Dallas area on Thursday afternoon.  We later learn on the following Sunday afternoon that the 19-year old son of our pastor in Allen, Texas was involved  in a domestic violent confrontation with a neighbor, who was also a member of the church in Allen.  On Monday evening, January 23 the son had pulled a gun and shot the neighbor in the chest over an argument between the two.  Thankfully, the neighbor man did not die but the pastor’s son has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.  Upon receiving this word, I receive a quickening within my spirit that YAHWEH may be using this horrible incident to chastise and correct the pastor for his arrogant and rebellious spirit that he had manifested toward GOD’S Torah at the men's Bible study the previous week.
