Why this book?

It is because you need stories of your own, experiences with Jesus and our Heavenly Father, and wonderful interactions with the Holy Spirit that can bring you into the heart of God our Father. All for the purpose of giving you purpose, a testimony, and furthering His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.

These pages are full of various ways God by His Spirit interacts with us, His Sons and Daughters. Why? for the building of your faith and trust to venture forward in believing, co-laboring with your Lord, and having a wonderful time in the process.

He wants to make you mature in His ways. So come, read and absorb, expect and step into what He asks of you. Through our surrender the LORD demonstrates His love with us as friends.

What does this ‘hearing and doing’ look like when it is being done? In part by the way He has exampled His love in this book though me, Riley D. Brown.

Can you feel His presence? Luke 11:13 says, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? If you don’t know His presence, ask for it. Are you catching the wind of Holy Spirit in your sails, cruising into your holy heavenly relationship with Him? Go for it! The more you hear and do, the more He will take you deeper, higher, farther and beyond your wildest expectations!

Jesus took calculated risks. He chose to give up His self will, trust Holy Spirit in what he heard and was shown and do it. This is what it is about for you too. So, believe, step out without fear, and leave the results up to the God.

So how do we know when something we say

is truly of the Lord?

I spoke this at a men’s breakfast.

"Go out on a limb for Him

Who went up on a tree for thee."

It just flowed right out of my mouth.

Under conviction, an attorney jumped up

And said, That word is for me!

On the spot he

Gave up his law business practice,

And he and his family went onto the mission field!

Thank you, Jesus!

Love Them That Are Mine

Vision

Vision 1994—It was as if I were in a great hall in heaven, seated high in the room, and I felt as though there were others seated there as well. The room was first-class in every way. There were giant windows across from us, divided in panes of a huge size I cannot describe. There were planets outside in the heavens, and one of those planets began to move closer and closer to the windows. When it reached the windows, it pressed through them, and as it did, the windows allowed it in and just closed around behind it. As it entered the room, it settled to the floor. The planet was brown and indescribable, it seemed to me, though the Lord had told me it was the earth, and the brown and dark colors were sin and death.

Just then there was a commotion to my left. A door opened, and in came a person from and surrounded by radiant light, all dressed in white with sandals on His feet. It was Jesus. There were many people at the door, so when He came in, He greeted them all.

Then He saw the globe and went over to it. He crouched down and looked at it from one angle and then another. Each time, He repositioned himself to observe that globe—whether standing, sitting on the floor, or kneeling; when He moved to another spot, it was as if He had stayed there and not left (He is omnipresent). Finally, He moved all the way around to the right of the globe and in front of us so we could all see clearly. He then began to back down under it, and the more He moved under it, the more He was putting it up on His back until at one point the huge globe-planet was completely upon His shoulders. At that moment, instantly, Jesus was upon the cross!

As Jesus hung on the cross, I was drawn right down to the right and front side of Him. He was not all bloody and mangled like at the Crucifixion. He was there to make a point, not a distraction. He drew me right up to within eighteen to twenty-four inches of Him. And out of His right eye (grace), He looked me in the eyes. All of a sudden I felt my hands reach out and surround His beard. I caressed His face—through His beard, and as I did, love poured out of His eyes into mine, and He spoke these words to me.

He said, Love them that are mine. Love them that are mine.

Later I was brought to understand that my call and commissioning is love to the leaders of His body, His Church (now and to come), and His apostles (the real and true ones) to help shore up His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

After this vision from the Holy Spirit in 1994, this poem on page 19, Love Them That Are Mine, was penned. © Riley D. Brown

Love Them That Are Mine

He said, Love them that are mine, love them that are mine.

Upon the cross He drew me close to Him.

He looked me in the eyes,

Let me touch His face and beard.

I have seen my Savior face-to-face and heard His words so clear,

His voice gentle and kind.

He said, "Love them that are mine.

"Receive them where they are

Because that is where you’ve been,

And lead them to the seat beside My throne.

Let them learn who I really am.

Teach them to trust like my son Abraham

And John and Paul and Peter to the cross.

Teach them to live faithfully

For the sake of the love who set them free,

The unconditional love they are to be,

The unconditionally loved they are to Me.

"Love them that are mine,

Help them that are mine,

See to the needs of mine in need.

Those that have crossed the bridge (of no return),

Those living on the edge,

Need a place this side of time

Where the soul is satisfied,

And love fills the hearts of those

Who truly see the cost involved

In laying down their life right next to Mine.

Help them to see the deeper way in Me.

Love them that are mine."

Back in early 1994,

I had just become completed in the Holy Spirit and began truly knowing I was hearing Father

(Acts 19:2–6).

Satan’s Cause

So while attending a large church, we had our dress rehearsal for our Christmas production and, specifically, the department store scene with all the shoppers and three Santas.

After rehearsal was over and I was walking along a hall, headed for my car,

I distinctly believe I heard the Lord say to me,

Riley.

I said, Yes, Lord?

He said, "Do you know that Santa and Satan are spelled with the same letters?"

I said, No, it can’t be!

So I grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote out the words,

and sure enough, that was true!

Then I believe the Lord said to me,

Riley, would you like to know why Satan created Santa?

I said, Yes, Lord!

He said,

"To turn the hearts of the children away from Jesus."

Believe me, I was stunned at that
