My Story

Wow, I can’t believe I am sitting down and typing this right now. These last months have led to the visions God has given me. As I look to the Lord and feel his presence all over me as I type.

I am an ordinary man with an extraordinary God. If what has happened to me is as great as it feels, then you know it will be visitations from above like no other.

I have been preaching God’s Word since 1991. I have preached and ministered for many years. People got encouraged through personal prophetic ministry. Several healings and even a couple of miracles happen through my prophetic ministry. This may sound like what ministers want in ministry, but there was deadness inside of me. I felt nothing when I preached or worshiped the Lord. I got to the point that I had to have something new and fresh from God. One day in 2008, I pressed into God with an attitude like I am going to get something from Him. In so many ways, I was much like a whining child trying to get a toy from his parent.

––––––––

I wasn’t sure about what could happen. I wanted something fresh and new. There was something in me that was desperate for more of God. The shedding of tears and the screaming to God, telling him that I’m through with the ministry if He didn’t give me something fresh and new. I told God that there were only a few sermons left, and then if I didn’t have something new and fresh from Heaven, I was done. This went on for days. I would play music and yell for a while, cry for a while, and lying on my bed, waiting for the time, which I don’t know how long. There was still nothing, and the longer it went with the deadness, I got more intense toward God and felt like if He didn’t show up, then I was abandoned.

I felt so alone and started to think He wasn’t going to show up. I screamed out, God. I need you more than anything else. God, I’m tired of this, and then began to tell God that I loved Him and needed Him. I was in my bedroom and was crying out, and suddenly, the wind blew in my room, and I knew it was the King Jesus I was contending for. No door open; no window open, the A/C was off. I knew that God let me feel his presence.

The feeling I felt that day was like being rescued in the desert after days with no drink.

I want you to know that as I’m writing this, I feel God’s presence upon me. Tears rolling down in my cheek as the Lord takes me back to remember. I pray that presence overflows as you read this too.

We have covered how I found God’s glory, but there is so much more. I might even repeat myself throughout this book as God leads.

After I felt God’s presence come in my room and knew God had visited me, I didn’t want to stop there. Every day, I would go into my bedroom around 8:00 A.M. and begin to press in. I would start to play worship music, turn on the computer in case God gave me something to write. I would pray in tongues and worship the Lord, and an hour or two would go by, and then I would feel that same awesome Glory I felt before. I would continue to do this every day for hours. Sometimes, I would lay on my bed quiet for hours after I felt that presence of God.

What began to happen to me has changed my life forever. I got to a place I couldn’t wait to press in. It was like a romance between me and God. I am now in love with God. I would run up the stairs like I couldn’t wait any longer to be with Him.

I would rush in, turn on the computer, and begin to play worship music again and again. Every day God would show up.

One thing I began to realize is that the more I did it, the less pressing I needed to do to feel the Glory. You need to receive this. I would press in hours before feeling the presence. After time went by, I would press in for about an hour and the presence of God came. Then a half-hour to fifteen minutes and the Glory of God would come. One day, I opened my bedroom door to press in, and God’s presence was there already. It was like God was expecting me. I didn’t have to press in to get Him to come. He was there already. There were weeks like this. God of the Universe was waiting for an average man like me. He wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with Him. WOW! I would go in and still press in even though He was there already. I wanted to please Him more than anything.

This book has been prophesied by many. God has been speaking this for a long time. I want you to know that this book is for anyone who loves God and wants more of Him. I believe that the things I’m writing in this book work. After finding God the way I had in early 2008, allot has come. I was the main speaker of a Revival at a Church for over two years. This was not just any Church; it was where I was a Pastor — being a Pastor and leading Revival. For the first months of the Revival, the presence was all we had, and it was awesome. We kept pressing in, and after about six months of revival meetings, signs and wonders began to show up. This was so unusual to me. We had thousands of gemstones, gold dust, and multi-colored dust. This is all signs from Heaven. There were many healed and people received tangible miracles. Testimonies of Cancers healed, tumors removed, and very unusual miracles. A boy had received a Word of Knowledge concerning a toe that looked like another toe. This boy got a miracle. You could barely even tell that there was anything there. This is one of many more that God did.

Some ministries made it their focus to pray against what God was doing. They just believed that the signs and wonders were not from God. They thought they were demonic. I will give some scripture in this book to back up signs and wonders from heaven. I am no longer the Pastor at the Church that had the Revival. I now have a new ministry, and I am freer than ever. The main reason I know that all the things I’m writing in this book will work for you is that they have worked for me again and again. At every crossroad, God has been faithful. I’m telling you that as you press into God like I did, things will happen. I will have to say this, that if you find God’s Glory and his manifestations happen, then there will be many to say it isn’t right. You will find who your real friends are. I want you to think about this; even with the extreme controversy, it is worth it for one week in God’s Glory.

God bless you as you read the rest of Uncovering God’s Glory.

Soaking In God’s Glory

I will explain how I came into the experience of soaking in God’s Glory. We will all learn how hunger is rewarded by an awareness of God’s very presence and by an experience of Him that results in the everyday practice of the presence of God.

I believe that these coming years will be an incredible season to come up higher and going deeper into our relationship with God. His heart so desires us, His glorious church, to be in a place of intimacy with Him and to walk in holiness.

Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

It’s time to come into the embrace of God, pressing into His heart of love and allowing Him to bring conviction of sin so that we can be cleansed and forgiven. God is doing a great thing among us all. It will not come without a price.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Wow! We’re on the way to becoming that pure, spotless bride that will be a trophy of His grace!

What happened to me in God’s presence can be attributed to a period of many months that I spent soaking in the presence of Almighty God.

It was a time of incredible visitation when I encountered God in what I call the glory liquid honey cloud of His presence. For nearly a year, there was grace upon my prayer life, wherefrom one to four hours a day; all I could do was lie and be still in His presence. I called it soaking.

All I was doing was positioning myself away from everyday life and seeking God. Not that I wanted to. I just learned that I had to separate from the busyness to be in God’s Presence. I began by praying in hunger, pressing in for the power of God to bring me revival.

I kept saying, Holy Spirit, please come. God, You said if I would draw near to you that you would draw near to me. You said if I would seek you and search for you with all of my heart, I’d find you.

God, I am pressing in violently, aggressively. I’m not letting go.

It was a radical pursuit of God’s presence, crying out, seeking. I was desperately in search of the Lord, and I was pursuing His glory. It was a time of holy hunger, a time of extreme anxiety.

I was in holy desperation for Him as a person, and I was determined to be deeper in His glory than I had ever been before. I wanted to experience His presence in a way that I had never known, and I purposed in my heart to have an encounter with Him unlike any other that I have had before. I did everything that I could. I prayed in tongues for hours. I mean, I prayed! With praise, worship, intercession, supplication I would make my requests known to God. I was pressing in and I wanted a breakthrough. I wanted God and I knew how to sense His presence, but I was never satisfied with where I had been the time before. I wasn’t content with what I had seen. I said, Lord, I want more. And I pressed in.

The fire was gone, the passion was gone, the newness was gone, the adventure was gone, and the excitement was gone.

That was my condition as I cried out in holy desperation, hungry for God before I learned to soak. That’s how I discovered soaking. I found it when I had this God-given-opportunity for pressing in, reminding myself of God’s promise that if I drew near to Him, He would draw near to me. In desperation, I yelled, God of the heavens and come down. And He did! He came down to show me that soaking is mainly quietness, listening, and waiting.

I have found in my walk with the Lord more power and revelation in quietness than in anything that I’ve done in prayer. I’ve come to understand that there is a place in the spirit that I believe is the highest form of prayer. It’s the silent prayer of the heart. It is so high that most Christians never get there. They don’t get over the demands of the mind. They fail to learn how to silence the busyness of their minds and emotions so that they can enter into true communion and fellowship with the Lord through quietness. In the church today, we aren’t being quiet before the Lord. We don’t understand soaking and waiting. We don’t practice the presence of God and exercise our spiritual senses. We need to learn how to enter into the rest of God. We don’t know what it means to be still and know that God is God. We don’t know what it means to wait on the Lord. During my many months of learning to soak, I had genuine encounters with the person of Jesus Christ, which I will talk about later.

At the end of months of waiting, basking, bathing, marinating, just being
