OVERCOMING
OBSTACLES WITH OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITIES
According to my dad, my mom had a
reoccurring dream for weeks involving the call Love had on my life
while I was a very young boy. My dad, who is 81 at the time of this
writing, states he can still remember the conversations with my mom
vividly.
Essentially, the dreams entailed me
starting to speak the Word of God in the 1980’s.
My mom was a Christian at the time
but my dad was a Muslim. However, during the time God was giving my
mom these dreams, my dad was wondering if this could come true in
the future.
I was not aware of these dreams until
after I made a compassionate commitment to Love in 1984. I will
disclose more of this information shortly but I believe it is
important to share some strategic events that took place prior to my
encounter with my very Best Friend.
One key event would soon shape my
family and I in a way that would change all of us exponentially.
While I was 6, my younger sister and
I were kidnapped and taken to a foreign country. For the next 15
months, I was abused, attacked and humiliated more times than I can
possibly remember. Prior to my sister and I being kidnapped and
thrown to the wind, I had been a trusting and outgoing child.
I have chosen to forgive all of the
people involved during those tumultuous times which has yielded a
wonderful freedom.
After about a year of tremendous
trials and tribulations, I questioned God’s hand in all of this. Due
to a lack of guidance at about the age of 7, I offered my life to
Satan. What took place over the next 14 years was a time of
despondency, withdrawal and a reckless lifestyle until that
miraculous day when I was 21. This is when the hand of Love
descended from above and wrapped His everlasting arms around me in a
very beautiful way.
The enemy knew at a young age that
our Father had called me to share His heart with others and thus he
set out to destroy me. He almost succeeded but I am so thankful to
Jesus for not giving up on me.
In 1985, Love placed upon my heart
the thought of writing my dad a letter and to share about my
glorious relationship with Him. In all honesty, I questioned the
Holy Spirit as my dad was a Muslim at the time. However, I wanted to
be obedient to Love so I began to write and share the beautiful
revelations I had been receiving about spiritual intimacy with the
Creator of all that is good. My dad listened and soon opened up his
heart to Jesus as he also became a Christian. This opened up
wonderful opportunities for me to share Jesus with some of my dad's
Muslim friends.
People asked Love into their hearts and miraculous
healings also took place.
To this day, my dad is
still on fire for God.
On one particular day in 1991, what I
was about to witness has changed my family and I in a way that is
beyond human description.
As I was driving by my sister’s
place, I noticed an ambulance close to her residence. I then
proceeded to walk towards the ambulance to find out the details when
my grandfather opened one of the doors and descended along with my
mom as there was a black body bag contained within. My grandfather
told me she was gone and I knew at that moment my sister’s life was
cut short on this earth as she was only 26.
Some of the details surrounding her
death involved domestic violence.
The most beautiful occasion that took
place between my sister and I prior to her leaving this earth was
the day I saw her open up her heart to Jesus. I have such a powerful
peace that she is in heaven with Love.
My sister, Rana also gave birth to
her only child on October 17th, 1984. She decided to give her son up
for adoption as she believed that this would be in the baby’s best
interest.
I had the wonderful privilege of
dedicating this gift to our Father just before his adoption.
Shaun was raised by two loving
parents, Bob and Janie, who provided us with detailed yearly updates
& photos until he turned 18. At this point, I decided to write to
the adoption agency to see if Shaun would be interested in meeting
with me. Shaun and his parents were open to this idea. This provided
Shaun and I with the opportunity to speak for the first time in
2002. We then met shortly after Shaun turned 19.
We also had a wonderful opportunity
to travel to Turkey in August, 2005 where he met my dad (his
grandfather) for the first time. I vividly remember discussing with
Shaun that none of us knows how long we will be walking on this
earth. Little did I know approximately 2 years and 7 months later
that this would come to pass as Shaun was killed on Palm Sunday,
March 16th, 2008 at the young age of 23.
I have an assurance from our Father
of love that Shaun is with him in the heavens above.
I also have made the consecrated &
conscientious choice to faithfully forgive those involved in this
tragic event.
Even though Love did not cause this
event to take place, I truly do believe Jesus will turn this
around for His glory.
This life is so short when viewed
through the eyes of eternity. Would you like to fulfill your
destiny? Then please come to Love with humility. This is the best
day to commit your ways to Light’s cascading rays.
I have shared His heart with many
people over the years and have seen several others come into His light.
Plus, I have witnessed many special miracles.
On separate occasions, the Holy
Spirit flew in to save two young men before death had the chance to
clutch these individual's spirits. Our Father opened up a wonderful
door for me to share with one man who was involved in the occult. He
was not interested in religion but was open to the idea of a
personal relationship with Jesus. Shortly after he gave his life to
Love, he was involved in a devastating car accident and ascended to
the arms of our Father. At about the same time, Jesus presented me
with another opportunity as the Holy Spirit moved in a glorious way
to share His heart of love and compassion with conviction. Another
person received the gift of salvation before his ascension into
Love's indescribable presence due to an event that also cut his life
short on this earth.
In addition, I provided a copy of my
first book entitled Victorious Love
as a Christmas gift to a young man in Uganda in 2008. This
particular gentleman, Spikey, later came in contact with a pastor in
Uganda who was looking for books on faith. Spikey recommended a copy
of my book to Pastor Jackson, who then contacted me to express his
appreciation of the impact Victorious
Love has had upon his life. Pastor Jackson sent me
wonderful correspondence stating how he shared
Victorious Love with a lady who wound up in
tears as she opened up her heart to Jesus and gave her life to Him.
She elaborated how she was missing and was in need of the love
contained in this book. Plus, this woman promised to look for a
church that believes in the love portrayed in
Victorious Love. What a wonderful declaration
to the faithfulness of our Father as another precious child has come
into the fold of His love.
The above mentioned lady continued to
communicate with Pastor Jackson. She also asked him to come to her
home to share with others the words contained in
Victorious Love. He
readily agreed and met with a total of nine people who were ready to
hear the heart of Love. As a result, two additional individuals
opened up their hearts to Jesus as our Father's family continues to
increase. What joyous occasions take place when people understand
that Love is waiting for them with open arms.
I am truly looking forward to seeing
these people in heaven as this is what life is all about. Yes, it is
experiencing the joy of individuals coming to the light and
receiving the most beautiful gifts that have been presented from
above.
Love has created us to be a family of
one and to live in unity.
Our Father is sincerely speaking to
all of our hearts if we will be sensitive enough to take the time to
listen, believe and to receive all He has for us. He is continually
casting forth His precious pearls to all who will grasp and clasp
the treasures flowing forth from the throne of Love.
Jesus has divinely orchestrated a
successful symphony between all of my family members which is the
best place to be. I am truly looking forward to spending eternity
with my family as our Father is a glorious God of unity.
Our loving Father continues to touch
my heart in very special ways. I can honestly say that I know Him
and truly appreciate His revelations of faithfulness which far
exceed my highest expectations.
When you receive a revelation of
Love’s compassion, mercy and forgiveness, you look forward to
sharing His heart with those who have a desire to know Him.
Jesus is waiting for you today if you
have never made a commitment to His saving ways.
This is as good of a time as any to
open up your heart to Love and to ask Him in to give you a beautiful
new start.
