About the Author

Prologue

Last Words from Above (Medicine for the Spirit) is not just intended to be a book of thought-provoking and inspirational quotes but also an experience. We are many people of one Creator, and that Creator set up a trust for each individual that He created. The more individuals that are able to access their entire inheritance within this trust, the better off we will all be collectively. There are many road blocks that prevent most from gaining full access to their trust. Let us examine two of the biggest. The first is understanding that God doesn’t love anyone created in His image and likeness, including the angels in heaven, more than anyone else. He just trusts some more than others. The more He trusts you, the more of your inheritance you will have access to. The second is that the comforter, or what many refer to as the Holy Spirit, is the trustee that has been put in place over each individual’s trust. Many attempt to access their heavenly inheritance without going through the trustee, and this often leads to great sorrow. The left hemisphere of our brain, which is designed to protect us from irrational thoughts and even lies, often hinder us from allowing our spirit to take lead and fully align with the comforter, because much of what is available to us within our individual trust is often beyond logic mostly because it was put in place by the one who knows the end before the beginning. So half the battle of gaining access is developing a deep trust for someone that you often have to close your eyes to be able to see. The more you trust Him, the more you will be entrusted with. These quotes are designed specifically to assist and strengthen you for this process. I understand that every quote may not be for you, but I encourage you to sift through all of them and find the ones that are. Once you locate the quotes that you connect with, write them down, memorize them, and cherish them as if they come from the above, because they do. Think of Last Words from Above as one large scroll that has just been discovered, but its wisdom dates back to the beginning of civilization and will still be relevant a thousand years from now. Anything short of this and I have not only failed you but I have also squandered off a portion of the inheritance from my trust, and I pray that is not the case.

Introduction

We are all on a journey of some sort. I guess that you could say that my journey started about seven years ago. I can look back and see that I was being prepared for my journey since I was a young child. As complex as my journey has been, I really only have one goal, and that is to become a great listener and help others to do the same. It started with me waking up at 3:00 a.m. on almost a regular basis and just writing down whatever I was hearing in my journal. This was my beginning, and the way that God chose to strengthen my confidence in that still small voice that can actually sound very similar to other voices that are not in anyone’s best interest to follow. What gives me the abilities to separate them is finding my quiet place and showing up there consistently, acting on the instructions of the right voice, saturating my mind with the Word of God, and the experience of seeing how accurate this voice has been. Seven years ago, this voice told me to write a book and also gave me the title, content, and even details on the artwork and layout. I was commanded to make the book seven chapters long, and I was promised that I would be given seven books, and this just so happens to be book number 7! Which hints the title Last Words from Above . I’m still not altogether sure if the title has an even deeper meaning, and I don’t believe that this will be my last book, but one thing for sure, this will be my last book of this sort.

My journey started when I was given a revelation on the power of the number 40 and how influential it was throughout history and many of our great religious leaders. The title was Formula Forty Days and Forty Nights, and it took a dive pretty deep into history and offered one very powerful formula that I stand behind to this day. It’s for those who are struggling with any type of addiction or just bad habit that you would like to change and you are willing to set aside forty days while committing to the 4 Rs. With the first being to resist whatever you are struggling with. The second is the replace it with something of equal or greater value, because if you fail to replace it with something, the enemy may take it upon himself to replace it with something seven times worse. The third is record, either voice record or journal, all your thoughts during this forty-day journey so that you will be able to see the difference and go back to it when necessary. Last but not least is refresh, which prayer and mediating on the Word seem to yield the best results for me. Some of the testimonies that I received were amazing. I was definitely off to a good start.

Then I had an out-of-body experience the night before the funeral of one of my good friends Walt, and on top of me not being at ease with the way they found this fairly young man unresponsive in his mansion, I had a lot of business stuff going on, in which we were up against a very tough deadline that had the potential to make or break our business. With all that going through my head, I was asked a question, and that question was if I had to opportunity to prevent a lot of my friends, family, and even many that I don’t know from experiencing a very harsh eternity, but by doing so, I would be putting my own eternity in jeopardy. Would I do it? Immediately I started seeing the faces of everyone that I loved, and with great hesitation, I responded yes. As soon as I said yes, I was lifted out of my body and taken to a very dark space, so dark that I thought I had gone blind, and was met there by a force that could only describe as the most imposing figure that I had ever experienced in life. The only reason I was not afraid is because I could still feel the warmth of God’s presence with me. This force began talking, and everything that it would say would be illustrated in 3-D right before me. It did not take long before I realized that I couldn’t speak—I could only listen. I felt like I was gone for an eternity, but when I returned, I looked at the clock and noticed that no time had passed. I instinctively reached for my journal, which I was accustomed to doing, and by the way, I was approaching the end of a forty-day fast when this took place. For the next several hours, I was writing, and it was like I was in a trance. I only remember starting and stopping, and by the time I stopped, I had enough to fill up my second book, and the title that was written across the top was The Testimony of Satan. I was privy not only to the revelation of how crafty Satan is but also that God created him and why he allows him to wreak such havoc.

From there I was given a revelation of a parallel between a lot of things that King Solomon said and did and how they were confirmed and even fulfilled by King Jesus one thousand years later. It also shed light on a lot of our past and present division, which Satan can be given credit for much of it. The title was a simple question, Is there room in the kingdom? From there I was encouraged to write someone a letter that had been dishonest and cost me my life savings and good credit rating. Though I was only writing the letter out of obedience while writing something happened to me, and by the end of it, I looked toward the sky and said, Thanks, God, I just felt my love grow! and His reply was Your love will never grow. This didn’t make a whole lot of sense at the time, but over the next forty days, He would unfold the meaning of this statement to me. In a nutshell, it presented the argument that we are born knowing pure love, and very early in life, we start to develop defense mechanisms and learn hate, fear, and so many other things. During this part of my journey, I was so focused on becoming a great listener that I almost stopped talking and also spent a lot of time traveling and in isolation, so that made the transition a lot easier than you might think. God was showing me the power of the tongue and even how the tongue doesn’t really have a sense of humor. Whatever we say consistently, we are inviting into our life, whether good or bad. I realize that in the past, a good portion of my reality was the consequences of my own tongue. I was a voluntary slave, and my tongue was my slave master. This experience gave me enough insite for book number 5.

Around the time I started writing Voluntary Slave, I started noticing that everywhere I would go, I would see the numbers 333. I didn’t know what this meant but knew that it would have some type of significant meaning for me. With my ultimate goal being to become a great listener and assist others to do the same, I began to notice that so many lack the ability to become a great listener because they lack clarity and focus in a world that offers so many distractions and so many alternatives to true fulfillment. It would all come to a head for me in Sin City of all places. I’ve never tasted alcohol or tried gambling, so for me the Vegas strip offers three things: good food, good shows, and people watching. I noticed people there from all over the globe, and most of them looked very happy. The question arose, How can they take that happiness and excitement with them when they leave Vegas? At that moment, I was watching the fountain show in front of the Bellagio, and the numbers 333 flashed in front of me, and I was hit with my answer like a ton of bricks. The only problem is that my journal was on the other end of the strip, so I broke into a sprint like a madman and was almost hit by a car or two before getting back to my journal. Once again by the time I finished writing, I had seven chapters, with each chapter containing three formulas that all have three components to them. These components work well along, but when you put them together, something magically happens. The title I was given was Formulas for the Soul. The formulas will help with clarity, focus, balance, and so much more. It took me quite a while to publish this one, and I didn’t know why at first, but now I can see that it will be much more valuable with all that is currently going on here in America and around the world.

Well, thank you for bearing with me through that journey down memory lane, and we have now arrived at the grand finale! Through this journey I had gotten better at listening to the instructions of that still-small voice even when it didn’t make sense or didn’t seem possible. This time I was instructed to go spend some time in the mountains of North Dakota, and I was given these instructions in the heart of the winter. I was instructed to apply for a job with an energy company hauling crude oil. Keep in mind I have never driven on icy road or worked in the oil fields a day in my life, so I was pretty certain that they were not going to hire me. Well, they responded the same day that they received my application and told me I was hired and that I could start orientation on Monday and be done with training by the end of the week.

So I went out, brought a truck, and drove straight to Killdeer, North Dakota. I must say that things got off to a pretty rocky start. The day I arrived, I found out that they didn’t have any houses in the area I would be working in, so I would have to live in my truck, and that it was expected to be so cold that winter that it would be a good idea to just keep my truck running for the next six months. I was not deterred. I knew that I was here for a reason, and I continued moving forward with everything. I made it through training. Now I had to follow a driver in my own truck for two days before they would release me on my own. My very first load, I was introduced to someone on the road called black ice, and what an introduction it was. I lost control and slid off the road through a large ditch and into a field. It all happened so fast, and when I was going through the ditch, the bump was so hard that both of my hands lost grip of the steering wheel. The truck went through the ditch, somehow avoiding a telephone pole that was right in front of me, driving a ways through the field, and then shutting off. Now I was deterred! Once I regained my composure, I got out of the truck to assess the damage. The truck and tanker were perfectly straight and there was no damage to either. Then I called for a tow truck to come and pull me out of the field. They informed me that the roads were too bad and that it would be a while.

I jumped back in the truck and started praying for my current situation, and before I could get very far in prayer, I heard that still-small voice say, Use this time to intercede for others. So I did. While being obedient, God was working things out on my behalf. The first thing He did was allow me to peak into the future of my goddaughter, and then He informed me to start writing everything in quote form until further notice. Then He revealed the title of book number 7 to me, Last Words from Above. Considering my present situation, I could not help but ask, Lord, am I going to die out here? He replied with a question that I’m used to hearing from Him, but it always brings me great comfort. That question was, Do you trust Me? As soon as He asked that, I could see the light from two winch trucks. They had to call a second one because the first one slid into the ditch when he tried to stop. They actually complimented me on my driving because they couldn’t understand how I managed to completely avoid that telephone pole. I just smiled and looked toward the sky because that moment was confirmation for me that all would be well while I was there.

In that moment, I also changed in ways that are difficult to explain. I did not become immortal but gained the freedom to start living every single day as if it were my last. I was released from all fear, worrying about the opinions of others, and unafraid to follow that still-small voice at any cost. I pray that these quotes are able to help you to do the same or encourage if you are already there. After about forty days, I had gotten used to the weather condition, and I was living in a writer’s heaven. I literally get to live in the mountains, and the quotes just started to flow. Being that I was so close, I would also take a week are two off here and there and go spend some time in Brandon, Manitoba; Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Kenora, Ontario. It was in Kenora that I had my first experience walking on water. Don’t get too deep on me; the lake was still frozen. Some days were brutal, with 35-miles-per-hour winds and -30 temperatures, and other days felt
