We seem to be going through a cold season on this thread. I'll be honest, I've been in a drought myself, and I'm beginning to wonder if everyone on this thread is not going through the same. It happens sometimes, but let's stay in prayer and let's encourage one another, and we shall overcome.


Samuel And The Cold Prophet

BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON NOVEMBER 2, 2017

I was going through a somewhat difficult season at the beginning of 2012. I had been feeling extremely alone and had wonderful friends and family reach out to me, but my heart was cold. I was confused, hurt, and angry at God. But I couldn’t hate Him, I just wanted to know if He understood the hardship I was walking through. Please read this encounter I had bellow. Some people think that just because I see into heaven and have face to face encounters, I do not struggle. May you remember that the Prophets/Seers need Him very much! We will always need Jesus! May this encourage you!


I was alone one cold evening, pondering about my life and all that is to happen and has happened. The snow drifted over my shoes while I sat alone on a swing set. I had been going through some very hard warfare the past few months. I felt my strength fleeing from me. I whispered to God as I waited for Him to speak. I didn’t quite have the tears anymore; I used them all up. I just wanted to have the strength to make it through one more day.

I waited…no answer. I waited longer…I couldn’t hear God’s voice.

I sighed and felt invisible. “Jesus I need your help. I just don’t feel like I can do this anymore. It’s so hard right now. I am trying my best to remain faithful to you; I don’t know why I feel so alone.”

That was my last attempt to wait for Him; I didn’t know if He would come. I thought I try again tomorrow. Suddenly a peculiar man approached me.

He was dressed in a white t-shirt and had regular blue jeans on; nothing stood out about him. His green eyes smiled, “May I sit here?” He tucked his silver hair behind his ear to prepare for my answer.

I shrugged my shoulder, “Sure. My name is Micah.”

The man smiled, “I am Samuel. I know who you are and I know you very well. I watch you swing here often.” He cleared his throat and paused for a moment to sit down. He sat up straight; crossed his left leg and scratched his nose. He took a deep breath and stared right at me.

I broke the silence, “Its cold out here.” I didn’t want my new friend, who I assumed was an angel, to think I was not in the mood to talk. “Aren’t you cold?”

He looked at His arms, “Nope, I am not cold. I don’t get cold, but the world is cold is it not?” He looked at me, “The world is always cold, but Jesus is the warm light of the sun. That sunlight is in you, my friend.” He said as he rubbed my shoulders trying to warm me.

I smirked.

Samual just kept looking at me, and I looked away. I could feel compassion coming from him; he genuinely cared for me, but I just couldn’t talk to him.

Samuel asked, “Micah what is it you want the Lord to do for you?”

I burst out in anger, “I don’t want to feel alone anymore. I am tired of feeling like I don’t fit it.” I hit the angel’s leg, “I see you and hear you, but I don’t feel like I am on the right planet. I feel so weak and forgotten by Jesus.”

The angel placed His arm around me and caught my tears. In a gentle tone, he said, “Micah need I remind you, you asked for a heart that would entirely be His. You asked for His world and that His fire would be your bread and His blood your water to drink. You are angry with Him for the gift He has given you. You cannot be of this world and be living in His.” The angel lifted my sorrowed head and spoke to me, “You are not alone Micah. You have family and friends whom God has created to see you. When you feel the cold world around you, go and sit in the sunlight of God who lives in those he has placed in your life. God is light.

“But sir, I don’t feel the warmth.” I placed my hands in his, “My hands are cold.”

The angel began to warm them, ” You believe they do not know you feel or have needs. Micah, Jesus is everything you need, and in placing your hands in His, your needs will be met. That doesn’t mean you will not have a community; it means that in seeking Him, you will find that community because Jesus is always with His people.”

The angel placed my hands on my heart and disappeared; then I heard Jesus say, “Micah, I heard you. Now get up and walk forward!”

I stood up, as the setting sun’s rays touched my face. I felt His love once again and I knew I could make it through this season. I wanted to thank the angel for his encouragement, but he did not return.

Perhaps I won’t see Him anymore…I do not know.

Jesus, I love you!

@MelodiousV, my prayers are with you in this very difficult time. May our Lord grant you the strength and comfort to cope, may the love of God heal your broken heart, and restore peace and joy in your life, in Jesus name.

Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Great message CharlyG1. Jesus has made a new covenant available to all who would accept Him as Lord and Savior!

I also watched '9', and patiently waiting for you to come break it down(no rush....)

I guess I'll be watching Singularity soon.

God bless you brother. Your efforts here are greatly appreciated.

Demons: Pornography and Pride (Part 2)


BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON FEBRUARY 16, 2017

This visitation is a continuation of the Demons: Pornography and Pride (Part 1) encounter. Please refer to Part 1 for context. You can find and read Part 1 in the Angels and Demons tab on my website.


Countless angels stood in the sky with the Glory of God circling them like a storm ready to pour its rain. The great demon became aware of the presence of God and screamed from the light, filling the world beyond humans. The angel with me said, “There will be a company of people like never seen before. They will walk in such power that even the mention of their name will bring forth the aroma of Christ.” The angel looked at me intensely, “Imagine one righteous person walking into a city and the principalities of the air are removed. These are the angels that will be summoned by the righteous—thousands upon thousands answering the call of the righteous.” The angels in the sky had eyes of lightning because they had looked upon the face of God.

Then I heard one beating on its shield in the distance to announce his appearance. The angels stood at attention as one shinning in bright ember light stepped forward to lead the battle. He was a very powerful angel who was given armor of authority and a shield beyond my description that appeared to be alive. His wings opened in full gleaming bronze with fire as its feathers. He stepped forward to lead this army. The angel with me said, “That is Michael the prince of angels, servant of the Most High God. The prayers of God’s people have summoned him. It has been Satan’s plan to banish God’s people into sexual immorality for a long time. Satan wants to see God’s people become like prostitutes unto other gods…to give their holiest place into defilement.”

The demon growled at the angels who appeared and visions of sexual pleasure increased around its vile being. From the pit, he called forth snakes as its defense and the Children of Satan (pride), made there stand… The angel said, “Satan wants to have children made in his image. He is a Foolish, Fallen, being unworthy of a name.”

Satan now appeared descending from his Throne of Skulls with such pride I couldn’t believe it, but he was splendorous in garments, yet his eyes were empty just like that pit bellow. I became afraid, but the angel held my hand for support. Satan walked through us to command his army against the angels.

Even though Satan hates Jesus most, he also has a hate for Michael because he was thrown down from heaven by Michael’s given power. And now Michael has come as answered prayer to stand against one of Satan’s greatest plans to destroy the people of God.

Lucifer said nothing. Michael said nothing…there was a silence among the two armies ready to wage war.

“Release the eagles,” Michael shouted. I heard eagles cry as they pushed through the storm cloud in golden light to target the snakes. With their claws, they picked up the snakes and threw them back into the pit.

The angel said, “That is the prophetic speaking against the demon’s power. They will carry the word of God in their mouth and in their wings.” These beautiful birds flew right back into the glory cloud when they had finished their task. Then I saw powerful golden, winged lions appear from the angelic army. The angels had them on a leash and they waited for Michael’s command.

“Bring forth the lions,” Michael ordered the angels to release them with the fire of God. The lions roared at their prey and opened their wings appeared from their backs to fly below like a shooting comet. The ram-like demons charged the lions with their horns. Like Satan, they believed they could stand against all of them, but they couldn’t last! The lions held them by their neck until they surrendered. Then I saw the lions break the necks of their prey—power was taken from these demons. Now they were useless…

The angel said, “Pride holds his head up, but must be broken. These lions are the apostolic power being released now through God’s people. They will do the greatest signs in the days to come, Micah. They are given wings which is the freedom they express through Christ Jesus. The apostolic and the prophetic will overthrow sexual immorality.”

The angel turned to me and with confidence he said, “Now we will go towards those on the streets. Ministries and rallies for those caught in tangles by the snakes will be set free, and they will be the ones to declare the coming of the kingdom. The Lord will send the church to the streets, with eagles and lions (prophetic/apostolic) gifts to dismantle Satan’s power. They will be rich in the love of God and they will call forth His sons and daughter into the righteousness of God.”

The angel smiled with inner joy, “Micah, the Kingdom of God has defeated every power that is not in his name. Get ready for the Kingdom of God to invade the pornographic industry. He will bring forth friends equipped with the armor of God to rescue the lost. Jesus’ gaze and love is turned towards those lost in the game of pornography. There will come a day when many actors in this industry will come to know Jesus and they will set others free!”

Michael raised his sword and commanded the army to march towards the head demon. Suddenly, the sky parted as the Lord Jesus descended with all glory. I gasped, “Jesus is here!” The angel laughed and held me up. I felt my strength waning from me. His glory caused the pit to lose its power thus Satan disappeared with a smirking bow leaving the demon to fend for himself.

The demon fell on his face before the glory of the Lord as the angels marched towards their defeated foe. The sound of glorious troops filled the entire realm and the wall shook by the presence of God. However, my eyes were on Jesus. He was shining like a bright rainbow while his robe blazed with his father’s glory! On his head was a crown unlike anything I have ever seen. His authority caused all the realms to surrender to him and at the highest point of his majesty—the heavens of heavens declared his name!

The angel stepped in front of me so that I would focus on what he was about to say, “It is time to go back. If I do not take you away now, you will not return.” He smiled and gestured we leave, but I did not want to. I wanted to keep watching Jesus command the heavens and see the judgement of this demon. The angel command, “Obey! You will see him again I am sure.” The angel gripped my hand and began to pull me the other way, but I caught Jesus’ eyes just for a moment. He looked at me with such eyes of love. It was only for a second, but it felt longer. He gently smiled and nodded his head with understanding and care. I painfully turned to leave the scene with my heart still interwoven with His through dimensions we had traveled before. I felt weak; very weak…I must have been gone too long. The angel said, “When you get back you will sleep to recover your strength.”

We walked through the wall into my room; I was exhausted. The angel put on his hood again and said, “Go and rest now, and when you wake up you will journal what you have seen. My friends will minister to you as you sleep.” He drew my attention to three ministering angels standing at the foot of my bed. With a smile, I thanked him for his service. He shook my hand sternly then bowed to the waist. He said, “You will not see me again…I know you are hoping for this, but I will remember you always. When you finish, and come home, find me and we shall go for a walk again.” He placed his hand on my shoulder and vanished.

I laid on my bed to sleep and the voice of the Holy Spirit said to me, “Jesus has the victory, Micah. The Kingdom of God is victory in Christ Jesus. There are no slaves to pornography or any other sexual immorality in his Kingdom; proclaim freedom in the name of Jesus.”

Demons: Pornography and Pride (Part 1)


BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON FEBRUARY 8, 2017

It was early evening when I was interrupted by a familiar angelic being. He stood about the size of a man dressed in a white robe with a hood on his head. His eyes were light and his face was the color of bronze, “Hello young man,” he greeted me, “I have been prepared to show you something that the Holy Spirit has prepared you for.”


This angel had a different personality than the others I have seen. He was more collective in his thoughts and he reminded me of a very dedicated butler.

“Where are we going,” I asked him.

He bowed his head while crossing his arms and said, “I will take you to the Wall; to where the darkness is reaching up into this world. The kingdom of darkness is waging war against the kingdom of light. This place, which I am about to show you, is dangerous and you would not be able to come here or make it back alive if it wasn’t for Holy Spirit’s power! The spirit world is not to be played with! There are demons ready to devour, and crevices of darkness ready to spring traps.”

He stepped forward and held out his hand for me to hold, “Do not be afraid, the Lord is with you! There is darkness coming, but I want to show you this darkness so that you will see how powerful the light is going to be. The greatest hour of the church is coming!” He smiled with joy, “Do not be afraid of the enemy; he has been defeated and victory belongs to Jesus.”

He held my hand and started to pull me through the walls into different dimensions; dimensions of colorful light and some dimensions made of darkness and chaos. Mysteries upon mysteries—I can see how people would get lost here without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We flew, but we weren’t in a hurry. We flew up steps of light and down steps of bile and slime… between the legs of giants roaming like madmen… we flew through havens of angels holding territories by pillars of golden clouds. I saw great chaos in one area with creatures untamed; lost by the war among the heavens long ago. This place has a story untold, perhaps one day we will hear of it.

Eventually, we came to a crack within this realm to my right. The angel held my hand tightly and said, “This is dangerous; here is the beginning of new religions. Demons hide in the cracks and feed on those who do not hold to the truth. Micah, the Holy Spirit is the source of every spiritual encounter! Those who wander into this realm unprotected bring back darkness.” He paused a moment to let me reflect, “Come, we are almost there.” We came to the end of this realm looking over a cliff into a sea of darkness. The angel wanted to bring to my attention, “Mark well what you see here. I am going to show you where pornography comes from.”

This angel led me to the far side of the spiritual realm…the darkness of the void reaching into the deep storm below us. I looked over the edge into the storm below hearing voices birthed in its shadow. The angel with me said, “It is the hole of sin—the bathing of demons. Today you have been blessed to know more of the darkness behind the Wall. From here the darkness reaches…” The angel put up his hood and held my hand, “Do not be afraid, but come so that you may discern and encourage God’s people.”

Suddenly, I heard snakes slithering together and a great demon floated up from the pit! There were snakes wrapped around his arms and his tongue was like a viper. Every part of it was seductive. Coming out from him was slime—it was adorned with precious jewels and I could hear groaning coming from its stomach! He carried tools, but I do not know what they were for! I saw that this demon appeared to be pregnant and that which was in its womb, gave the horrid groaning sounds.

The angel said “This is the spirit who bathes in pornography and has lesser ones under him. Its works hard to destroy the imagination! Pornography’s assignment is to destroy the imagination!” Then I begin to see images of people engaging in this act while snakes would wrap around their heads and bite them! Then I saw demons cover their victims heads with darkness. The angel said, “Pornography shuts off the spirit of revelation! It pollutes the secret places; voiding it of all light. This demon is after the secret place; the place of power!”

I saw that this demon was ready to give birth! “The angel said there is going to be an increase of sexual immorality unlike anything seen, but the church will have power and their imagination will be sanctified; they will defeat the powers of demons. By the blood of Jesus, Christ has set them free! If hell is working so hard to pervert the imagination, which is the place of revelation, how much more the power of God that is to come?”

He motioned that I keep watching this demon give birth to smaller demons. They were given the heads of rams and the body of a man. The angel said, “These are the images of Satan. This is pride. Pornography and Pride feed into each other. These demons hide in closets and under the beds.”

What this angel is saying is that these demons hide in secret—the closet the place where you keep personal things. The heart can represent the closet. Do not hide pride in your heart. The bed meaning your place of rest.

Pride is the face of Satan and its “children” (demons) link to sexual immorality. The angel said, “First repent and rid yourself of pride and then you will be healed from this demonic spirit—sexual immorality/pornography.”

Suddenly, I heard a crash of thunder that ushered in an army of angels in the mid-heavens. They were powerful containing lighting in their armor! They held banners that declared Righteousness and Holiness.

Chai, Kefas!!!! This is a particularly difficult one for me, I'm full of emotions right now. Kefas was my boy at the Nigerian Military School, Zaria. I was his senior and he stayed in my room and "worked for me", as we would say. He was a hardworking and resourceful chap, and truthfully I was quite fond of him for these reasons. I admired his spirit as he always seemed to maintain a composed demeanor even in extreme circumstances. Even as his senior, I could see that the boy had a strong will. I'm not in the least surprised that he went on to successfully graduate from the Nigerian Defense Academy and was well on his way to a successful career in the Army.
I still remember as my graduation from NMS drew nearer, I called my boys and permitted them to speak freely on how they truly felt about me. Kefas took the liberty to declare that I wasn't one who joked with my food. This boy was implying that his master was a "chopson" lol....I thought that was quite bold and hilarious, I almost hurt myself laughing. Oh, the memories...that is all we have left. Kefas, your untimely death has left a lot of people heartbroken because you were loved. Rest in peace my friend, my boy, till we meet again in paradise.

Stargazer: Heavenly Host

BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON JULY 13, 2017


Several descriptions of angels in the Bible describe them in military terms. such as encampment (Genesis 32:1-2), command structure (Psalms 91:11-12; Matt.13:41; Rev.7:2), and combat (Jdg.5:20; Job 19:12; Rev.12:7). The heavenly host participates in the war in the second heavens against Satan and his fallen angels/demons.


Angelic armies have charged our planet by moving in and out constantly. Our Father has assigned angels to stand guard for the righteous and for us to release them into battle to destroy the works of the enemy. I am delighted to tell you of such an encounter I had with a warrior angel who visited me for several weeks. Angels are creative, and some do not look like us! Some have fire coming out of their backs like a long cape! Some look like lions; some are so huge they cannot fit on our planet! The Father has given me a gift to see and speak with angels to encourage the body of Christ! For this encounter, you will see a drawing I made of this angel describing the scene in which I met him. Enjoy, and keep your eyes open!

I sat on a large rock waiting on the Lord. It is always such a delight to wait on His presence…Father constantly surprises me! It was a warm evening as I waited to see what Father wanted to do. As the sun began to slumber behind the trees, a bright light, small like a marble started to approach me from the sky. I was excited to see what the Father was going to bring me! The light began to intensify in power as it came closer to me. It swelled up in size to form a massive angel!

I did not shout, surprisingly, I marveled at the wonder of God’s creation. This mighty angel was extremely bright with six beautiful wings dipped in glory! This high ranking angel’s wings created a sound of flags crackling in the wind. I could hear fire coming from the center of his being. As I continued to study this angelic being, I saw that he was made from fire like the seraphim, but he was different than the others of his tribe. He was not an angel who watched the throne…though he was sent from the throne to me, he was fashioned for war. He hovered in front of me with one arm behind his back.


His body was burning bronze from heaven. He was straight in his posture. The angel was given a blue sash around his chest that spoke of his rank in the heavenly armies. He was strong; I could feel it! The angel was given a golden helmet that pointed up with two tusks coming down. The glory of God was all around him. As he approached me while I sat on my rock, we looked at each other with respect. It was an amazing feeling. I felt like I was royal and this angel was giving me respect because of who I represented. I represent my Lord and Master–Jesus, and he knew that.

His voice was very deep in power with layers of sound I cannot describe to you. He spoke with authority, “Do you know whom I serve?”

I sat up straight and said, “You serve the kingdom of God.”

The angel wings began to rest, “I am Stargazer a being of fiery light in the heavens. I was born in the fires of heaven and sent to watch the skies of your world. I stand before you, the highest of my class. I present myself before you to speak with a ruler of earth.”

I said nothing…what should I say?

Stargazer asked, “Have you a teachable spirit, Micah? Are you ready to learn? If you desire to see kingdoms beyond your understanding, then you must be teachable! Throw away everything you think you know. Give out your system and break your walls! The angels cannot do this for you. You are given the right to rule your mind, body, and spirit. This has to be your choice.”

He waited for me to respond to him. “I will do it. I will become teachable and humble.”

The angel affirmed my answer by raising his white wings of fire, “Good, now listen to what I have come to say. The Father is not waiting for the end of the age for you to rule. Do not wait until death for you will not see it. You have been raised with Christ…death shall not come to any of His children. Do not live like a dead man! Live now in who you are. The body must die…it must! It cannot harbor the mysteries of the kingdom. The body cannot live in the full measure of destiny. You must live now in the spirit! Live now in truth.”

He placed his hand on his chest saying, “I am the leader of the Burning Stars of heaven. I am Stargazer sent to war on your behalf. I have been given one million angels to watch your city.” After he had said this, the sky behind Stargazer changed, and I saw the angelic host watching from above like shining stars of beautiful light. They shouted, “Long Live the King!” Each one had a sash but of a different color.

I was in awe of this beautiful sight! God’s powerful army for our city positioned right in our sky. The angels said, “Forget your systems and your own way! Surrender now to who you truly are and release us! You have been given authority! We shall burn the demons of the air by holy fire. The kingdom of God is here!”

Stargazer opened his hand to me saying, “Do not forget who you are. Open your heart and receive the majesty in you and rule now! Do not wait!”

Then Stargazer flew away towards his army assigned to him in the sky waiting for the church’s command.

I will change your name

You shall no longer be called...

Wounded, outcast, lonely or afraid


I will change your name

Your new name shall be....

Confidence, joyfulness, overcoming one, faithfulness, friend of God, one who seeks My face.



This is a simple song that comforted me through some trying times. Wherever you are today, whatever you may be going through, just remember to call on God...He will change your name.

Aceed:
kc3000 are you sure if this michael turnbo abi beholdwonder . com is genuinely of God?

In lord of lights part 1 there was a place he talked about feeling a splendor of light and magic

but I know Gods creative power isnt magical nor are His creations magic.

Also in lord of lights part 2 he talked of a white dragon in heaven named thainuel?

but anytime the Bible talks about a dragon it is referring to satan!

secondly i dont think dragons have any friendliness in them forget what you see in the movies ooo unless you can tame them with magic.

Aceed , I believe magical here is used to convey the notion of something extraordinary and supernatural. Has nothing to do with the dark arts.

Of the white dragon, the author expresses as much surprise at its existence as you have: "I couldn’t believe it! He is a real creature. I began to think about how Satan is referred to a dragon in the bible. He corrupted such a beautiful image of God’s presence."

The devil is a master of counterfeiting and corrupting the things of God. God is the creator of all things, and he does with them as He wishes(God doesn't need any 'magic' to execute His will with any of His creations) . For me, there's often the urge to put God in a box with my limited concept of who He is, but I have to constantly remind myself that He is God of infinite mysteries, and ALL power belongs to Him. The author couldn't even find the appropriate words to describe some of the creatures he saw in heaven.

Ultimately, we've been charged to test the spirits to see if they are of God. If the content of this blog did not remind me of God's perfect love for humanity and inspire in me a greater desire to seek Him, I would not post it here for others to read. I've not found it to be contradictory to the Bible...yet. Besides, I'm not infallible, and I'll hope that someone would caution me if I'm going down the wrong path. Thanks for your contribution.

I think you guys would enjoy this.

Micah Turnbo: Hello everyone! I am beginning another series called Lord of Spirits. My purpose in writing this is so that you would understand more about the angels, and other beings of heaven called spirits. Not all beings are angels, some are spirits of heaven. And they would be classified, along with the angels as the host of heaven. God is sometimes referred to as the God of Spirits (Revelation 22:6 or Numbers 27:16) and The Lord of Host (Isaiah 6:3 and 1 Kings 22:19). The host of heaven answer to his leadership and does his works. Not all of them are angels, which are another kind of spirit. Some of them look very different, but all answer to God. Heaven is full of mystery and wonder; it is impossible to comprehend the majesty of God. In these coming post, you will learn of your identity as the angels and other beings explain the purpose of man who also have a spirit and the difference between our spirit and theirs. Also, this will be the first time I tried spelling out the languages of heaven. I am totally taking a risk here as I have no idea how to spell them, but I tried by the way it sounded. have fun with that! I hope you find these encouraging and may you marvel at his work once again!

nice one Kc3000. keep them coming

The Gift of Revelation

BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON JUNE 22, 2017

Jesus and I began our regular routine of walking around the gardens with His hand resting on my back. I love these meetings with Him, I love being with Him. He is my best friend, my greatest support. Jesus, in His shining brilliant robe, always gives me time to take in every moment. He is never in a rush! Jesus enjoys every second with you. Even in the silence of just being, He enjoys it.


We walked around a three-tiered fountain, our favorite place to have a drink in the cool of the garden. Jesus pulled His sleeve back and dipped His hand into the fountain pool to serve me some water. What I drank from His hand quickened my mind. Then He pleasantly waited for me to serve Him. I placed my hand into the pool to serve my King. We served each other repeatedly for a while. The more I drank from Jesus, the more glorious He became.

After I had finished serving the Lord one last time, Jesus held my hand to say, “Son, this is the gift of revelation. This is what it looks like in heaven. I give water to drink, I serve those who are thirsty. I do not give water to diminish the spirit, or to bring pride! I give so that they may know me! I want you to give water that flows in you to those who need a drink. The prophetic ministry is about serving others. It is about becoming the lowest of them all so that they may rise to me. The source you draw from, like this fountain, is the Holy Spirit–this fountain is in you!” Jesus turned to the fountain to gather more of His thoughts. He said, “Do not misuse the gift of revelation, Micah. Do not use it to build your own name or ministry. Do not give with one hand tied behind your back. Give with both hands. Do not sell the waters for your own personal gain fame…give as much as you can. Your reward,” He turned to me and smiled, “Is me! My fullness without measure, son.” He opened His arms and shouted, “Come and drink!”

We both laughed! Jesus placed His right hand on my shoulder, “Become the lowest Micah. In my kingdom, my kings serve each other and care for one another.”

“Lord,” I asked, “What happens when people use their gift of revelation for personal gain or to build their own kingdom?”

Jesus answered quickly, “They become fake, people of tricks. Then I will have to shut off the fountain as mercy.” He stepped closer to me, looking in my eyes, “Give freely without hidden darkness in your heart. Be true, be real.”

He disappeared…

The Beauty of Holy Spirit

BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON JULY 3, 2017

This is the last writing of the beauty of God series which is a set of visitations I had received from the Father. Understand that these visitations are not made up, but are orchestrated by the Father to help build up and edify the church. I ask that you would pray before you read this next encounter! Ask Holy Spirit to open your imagination to engage with Him.


“Stand up!” A voice said to me in my room. My hands were on fire, and I could see angels around me, but the voice did not come from them. Again I heard, “Stand up, now,” the voice commanded me. I managed to get myself up from my bed…the presence of God was very tangible. While I stood up with my hands opened to receive, a pillar of fire materialized in the room. The sounds of rushing wind and violent, crackling fire filled the atmosphere, and the angels spun around me creating a ring of light. Holy Spirit had now entered the room.


“Step Forward, Micah.” I obeyed Him to enter the fiery funnel of Holy light. Blue, green, orange and red fire swirled around me burning my body as Holy Spirit declared, “I am here to remind you that you are not made to dwell in darkness, but in the fiery passion of God. I am that passion. Walk now in purity, Micah. Walk now in Holiness.” I felt heat on me so intensely as the fire of God moved all around me. I was swaying back and forth by His awesome presence! I kept my hands out because I was so hungry for more of Holy Spirit. I did not want anything else, only Him!

“Look down, Micah.” I obeyed, and I saw that I was standing on coals of fire. Then blazing hands of light touched my head, and Holy Spirit said, ” The path of purity is the way of love. The way of holiness is the path of love. Walking in Holiness is living in the Spirit; for the Spirit is love. I have come to remind you; I am the passion of God empowering to walk in My light. I am the burning passion of God reminding you to walk in righteousness.” Then a face appeared from within this tornado of fire. His head was hot as the coals I was standing on, and He blew fire on my face. He was burning like bronze metal with eyes like a jasper stone. I could see precious stones in His complexion that were charged with lightning! I was so overwhelmed by His power! He is power, and He lives inside me. He lives inside you!

Holy Spirit declared, “Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God. They shall walk in beauty and power unhindered by the pleasures of the world. Blessed are they who walk among the coals of fire…they walk into where the enemy cannot harm them.” Holy Spirit paused to let me reflect on His words then commanded, “Pick up the stones and eat.” I obeyed! As I held the stone in my hand, the flames wrapped around my wrists and also around my feet. Holy Spirit said, “Be prudent in speech Micah, learn to live in beauty with your words, son. Curse not what I have given life.”

I consumed the stone, and it tasted like bread, and I felt waves of love move all around me. Holy Spirit now had become calm like a gentle breeze on a peaceful spring day. He held my hands and said, “I love you, Micah. I want to walk with you every day. It is my pleasure to guide you into the light of My presence. Welcome to the beauty of God.” Then everything disappeared, and I was standing in my room with the angels dashing in the air.

The angel said to me, “Purity is a blessing, is it not?”
“Purity is beauty,” another said.
“What do you think it means to walk in beauty, Micah?” The angels laughed and then stood still watching me with their curious blue eyes.

I bless you all to walk in the beauty of Holiness.

I would love to hear your thoughts! Tell me about a time when you encountered Holy Spirits presence!

Is There Love?

BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON JULY 11, 2017

2 Chronicles 16:9, “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth so that He may support those whose heart is completely His.”


Jesus and I waited near the fountain together holding hands. At this moment He smiled with His beautiful glowing eyes of love. He leaned in closer to where I could smell His breath. I could taste His words even. He said, “My beautiful son is there not love only for me in the earth? My Son of light, is there anyone who searches for my face among the dark patterns of the world?” His words tasted like fresh bread, and my spirit became alive. I was unsure if He was really asking me a question or not, so I just smiled towards Jesus. I placed His hair behind His ears waiting to see what else He would say. I try not to speak too quickly.

He grabbed my hand and put it on His chest, “Can you feel that Micah?”

His heart beat was pounding like there was electricity causing it to explode. “Jesus, your heart is beating so hard. What is this?”

He said, “Every heartbeat is for them, Micah. Every heart beat is a desire for intimacy. My heart desires a partner child…and I created you to be my partner. Each beat you feel is infinite love exploding with a passion for my each one! Oh, son of light, My heart will not be satisfied with anyone else other than the one it calls too. Tell me, son, is there love for me in the world?”

I looked down towards His chest, and beams of colored light touched my eyes! I felt His love like a warm rag on my face. I took a deep breath as He filled my spirit. Jesus said, “This is for anyone who wants to encounter my love. My heart has found its match, Son! Love is you!” He laughed brightly with joy! “To the one who seeks finds.”



Psalm 33:15, From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works
I began to speak to Jesus’ heart, “My sweet Jesus, I say yes to the invitation to walk deeper in your love. I want to make your heart happy, I want to make you smile!”

Jesus laughed, “There is no one in the world that moves me the way you do Micah. Tell my people, Lift up your eyes and look right into my face because my heart has found its match! LOVE IS YOU!”

Jesus laughed again…Joy!

I am a Son

BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON JULY 19, 2017

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well on this beautiful morning/afternoon/evening as you read! Today I have been pondering where I have come from, or what the Lord has brought me through in my past. I wanted to share something that is important to me, and it is about my identity. God is beautiful; we have a story together! Jesus has been my best friend through every heartbreaking situation. Holy Spirit, the most brilliant conscious that lives inside me, never left. Instead, He guided my heart into the truth about my identity. In what I share with you, I hope you find encouragement and freedom in the following words.


I was 11 years old when I looked at pornography. I didn’t completely understand porn, or that was even a real thing. I felt pressure fall on my head while something invaded my spirit that had no right to be there. I felt a weakness inside me that I wasn’t aware of at the time. I sat in front of the computer while image after image went by. It was filling something in me that I didn’t know was there.

I remember my fingers were shaking as sweat ran down my face while darkness clouded my heart. Yes, Satan lied to me. He deceived me into questioning my sexuality and identity! I was looking at gay pornography that day because of a lie told to me in that small room in my heart that I was too weak, I wasn’t good enough. That lie said I would never be strong enough; no one would ever like me. Demons told me Jesus would leave forever, and I was not good enough for Him.

See, I had wonderful spirit-filled parents! No one touched me pervertedly. I had a healthy relationship with my dad…I had everything, but it all began with a lie.

Now, I cannot go into the full story because that would take forever, but I struggled. I felt alone at times; I felt confused more than I desired. I battled with homosexuality for 12 years! I fought with the demons that said I was gay or that God created me to be gay. I remember asking the Lord how He felt about me. He spoke to me so peacefully, “Micah, I did not create you to be straight or gay; I created you to be a Son of God. You are so much more than what you think you are.” His calming words rushed into those secret rooms in my heart. Surprisingly, He told me that when I was 14 years old, and the battle did not instantly stop. I had to hold on to the truth with my dear life because it was going to get wild.

Yes, I still saw heaven. I was still talking to angels, the saints of God and even standing before the throne during these difficult times. I had a wonderful supporting family to help guide me into truth…not the lie. They never called me gay in their heart. They called me by my name! Powerful! They called me into the truth God spoke over my life. Those long years of walking with Jesus, was so personal because He had to be the one to take me through it all.

There was a day when I was engaging with pornography unashamedly! I felt no sorrow for this at all; I wanted to look at men sexually. At that very moment, the Lord Jesus walked right into my room.

Jesus caught me!

There was no turning back now. What was Jesus going to do to me? I closed my computer waiting for His response to me. He just looked into my eyes reading every part of me! Then Jesus picked me up and held me close! His words were this, “My son, I am not angry with you. I only see my righteousness in you. Tell me, what you need? Let me help you, Micah.” His voice began to shake with emotion, “I know what you are feeling…please let me help you.” I began to weep hysterically as His presence went into me. His sweet voice encouraged me, “If you died still engaging with this lie and sin, that I so generously took away from you on the cross, I would still love you with all my affection! You will always be my first choice, son.”

Jesus stepped back and left.

My world shook; I heard the demons screaming around me in my mind. Jesus, I do not know you. I cried out; I do not know you! What is this intense love that destroyed every wall I have built?

You would think, after an encounter like that, the feelings for homosexuality left, but it did not. I still felt the emotions, thought the thoughts, and even looked at pornography again, but I started to understand my identity more because I saw who Jesus is!

Something did change! I was seeing who I was in Him. His love gave me the strength to say no little by little every day! Do You know why? I did not see myself as gay or straight! I was seeing me in the eyes of Jesus! Now, this is not an excuse to say that Jesus did accept my struggle of sin. No! I am loved so much that He speaks the truth. I am royal; He loves me, I am valuable, His love is everlasting. His truth is what gave me the strength to resist the lies of the devil! His truth gave me the power to put aside my flesh and walk with Him.

Thus, Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit, and I began our journey towards wholeness! We walked together, we cried together, and laughed much! When I failed, Jesus was right there in the dirt with me. My Father was always ready to hug me whenever I needed, and Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me get away with any lie! He is the master of speaking truth.

So yes, I walked this road, I know the demons, I know the lies told to you. But I am here to encourage you that I am a free man of God! I am so much better than “straight” I am a Son of God! I am healed, free, and loved powerfully! Jesus has taken away my darkness; my sin and carried it for me! I live in His righteousness! I am here to tell you; homosexuality does not have to be your identity, God has more for you!

Chazah Returns: The Gold Mountain


BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON AUGUST 30, 2017

Chazah is a large beautiful white eagle with feathers dipped in gold. He is looking for a rider. Who will ride Him? Who is willing to give up compromise and fly on the back of the Lord towards the face of God? You cannot fly Him and keep your will. It has to be Him alone! God dwells upon the Gold Mountain…glory rains down on His dwelling creating rivers of shining jewels by His feet. Chazah wants to take you there; leave your way and fly!


It was a typical afternoon when the Great Eagle, Chazah returned for our next flight. I was not expecting His presence, but something changed in the atmosphere. I sensed the presence of the Lord rushing when instantly my spirit shot out of my body into a brilliant portal where millions of eagles cried out to the heavenly realm. Golden eagles with illuminated wings lifted praise towards the heavens as we climbed up into the dazzling light. Beautiful melodies melted from my mouth which created ribbons that crackled like fire in the wind.



We climbed higher and higher into heaven until we peeked into the realm of divine light; the kingdom of Almighty God and His Holy Son, Jesus. The eagles dashed by me towards a golden mountain to the east of heaven, but the spirit took me to a beautiful castle made of solid diamonds.

I couldn’t believe such an amazing structure existed, but then again, I am in heaven. I noticed at the highest point of the castle some angels appeared like winged lions, protectors of the great home. Our holy God made these lions from light and crystal shards from the sea of glass! At my coming, they raised their wings and roared with might! The Spirit set me in front of a massive golden door that led into the castle. On this door appeared emerald eyes by the thousand which gazed at me. The wings connected these eyes by soft glorious light. It swung open at my approach to a huge hall.

I ran! I ran through the great hall where angels and other creatures convened for reasons I do not know. I was looking for the Lord. I was looking of Chazah.


I cried, “Chazah. I am here!” My heart was pounding because I loved Him. I wanted to fly with Him again. Down the long hall, I searched for Him. I looked into many rooms asking where the White Eagle rested. In these rooms were angels and strange creatures I have never seen before. One was a giant turtle with wings growing out of its shell; another was a large three horned bird with a long beautiful feathered tail. They were speaking; I do not know what about! Until…


It began to snow soft white feathers around the company and me. This unique group, who was present in this room, froze in a crystal case as the power of the White Eagle’s presence entered with great shafts of light. I sighed deeply, and my heart began to rest. A soft wind blew away the scene around me like drifting snow. Sounds of heavenly music, unlike anything I have heard opened my sense to receive the awesome presence of the Lord. Chazah, who is the manifested interpretation of Jesus, descended gently into the world of light. His wings stretched over me released an aroma of spices that drew me further into His commanding presence. The snow of white feathers drifted by the wind past us as Chazah spoke,


“You searched for me! How many people search for me, child? Do they come by the drifting of the white feathers or the wind which pulls them? No child, what you see here is a result of hunger. Hunger releases my presence. Hunger brings you into a world of light and revelation. You will not find me where the common tongue lives but by the language of the spirit.” He looked down at me with piercing eyes and said, “Those who search me will find me, and they will also find themselves in me!”

“Lord where was I before,” I asked.

He smiled, “You were in the castle known as Destiny, child. There are many castles in the heavens. Destiny only reveals its self when there is hunger.” I was so overwhelmed during this moment as the white feathers blew by us. Chazah voice thundered, “It is time to fly, now! Climb up on my back.” He said as He lowered His neck to the ground so that I could climb up. We quickly flew to the east were the Golden Mountains stand.



Around the Golden Mountains, the great white eagle led me into the face of almighty God. The wind of angels gushed by me while Chazah’s call echoed among the highest heavens and into the great light we flew. I was not afraid; I was at home…high above the clouds…above the warfare into my Father’s light! I could hear the sound of His wings, rising and lowering while He commanded the wind by His will. Chazah, said, “Do you remember Micah the longing to be with your Father? The Eagles desire for the nest of God; the feeding is about to began, child. All who have wings fly.”

I felt it. I felt the desire to be with God as we flew into His face, a world of intimacy. I sat up to breathe in the fragrance of heaven then smiled at the flickering, Starlight Angels that danced around this beautiful place. I felt peace…I did not want to leave. Ever!

Chazah said, “You must go back, Micah. The face of God is for anyone who has ears to hear and eyes to see. I call to the earth–to any person who desires intimacy with God. Fly to the nest; intimacy is about to begin. Come and be fed the food of light.” We continued to soar on the wind towards the mighty mountains that harvested the Glory of the Lord.

To be continued.

Hello everyone, there's this awesome blog I came across: https://beholdwonder.com .The writer apparently receives a lot of revelations and experiences from God, and narrates them on his blog.

@Muehonyx22 n bro Nnamdi. You're spot on, God bless you for helping a brother ... There's nothing more I can add to what you've done..

Indeed. I've been immensely blessed by all you guys post on this thread and it's my prayer that God continues to strengthen you all as you continue to teach the truth in love. God bless you all!!!

nnamdiosu:
Hey bro. I feel u. I can identify with u too. U ain't alone. We have thousands of Christians, millions world wide facing the same challenge as u do.
See. I got an elder brother. Very rebellious, very stubborn. He keeps on disobeying my dad and running into trouble. Most times with the police, other times with various thugs. And each time... My dad always, always went out to save him, to bail him, pay for damages. One day, he committed a crime and OPC (Local vigilantes) said they were coming for him. I was still young then. I was scared. So I was like...why does my dad keep on having his back. Defending him, protecting him.
I told my dad to let them get him. Trust me, I was really frustrated. But my dad calmly looked at me and said, WE CANT DO THAT. we have to help him. We can't let them get him. Back then, I didn't get that. But now... I do.
You see.... We are like children. We all. Even the best of us, the most spiritual of us... We are still children. And our dad won't ever give up on us. Or on u. Yes you've fallen, so did Peter. He even betrayed Jesus despite the fact he was warned. David too wasn't better. He was a murder amongst many. Samson was worse. Jacob was a yahoo yahoo of his time. But you see, they never gave up on God. God too never gave up on them... Even though most of them Did.
He kept them. God kept them. He wouldn't let them go. He is keeping you too. He is still working on you. In you and around you. JUST DON'T GIVE UP. DON'T. GO BACK TO HIM NO MATTER HOW FAR. HE IS THE.... I DON'T CARE HOW FAR YOU'VE GONE, JUST COME BACK HOME, kind of dad.

just don't give up. God isn't through with you yet. We here for you. Feel free to talk to us. I'm here for you too.
Peace bro.

Wow, you are absolutely right bro! The Father's love is immeasurable. Thank you so much for these kind words, and may God continue to bless you.

shadeyinka:
Love your testimony.
We are all growing. The earth is a huge spiritual battle ground where sometimes as Gods soldiers, we get tired and feel wearied.

But one of the keys of sustaining yourself is through fellowship with other believers. One of us will chase a thousand and two, ten thousand....Iron sharpens iron...

Associate with other spiritually hungry folks, it makes the journey easier.

Shalom

Thank you! I truly appreciate the advice. God bless.

muehonyx22:
@Kc3000, First of all, HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!!! may this month be a month of joy and good news in your life in Jesus name.

your story is wow... just wow. I am really happy and grateful to God for your sister, and I also thank him for restoring back your good health. Kc, I pray God will continue to be with you and your family in Jesus name. I hope his mercies and grace will never leave you. I hope everything is stable with your health now? don't forget to always watch what you eat, please, God and I don't want to see you go through that kind of pain and hurt again okay?

Kc3000 , God loves you very much, and grace really speaks for you. that is the reason why even if you don't have a steady walk with him, he is always there and always ready to save you in times of trouble. God's love for you and grace on you is great. but romans6;1 says "are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?

it's not just prayer, sure praying is important, but God loves you and he wants you to have a relationship with him. and the Bible says that he that worship him, must worship in spirit and in truth.

its why Jesus died for us, he died for our sins to satisfy God's wrath and to reconcile us with him. there is nothing a loving father wants more than obedience and a relationship with his children.

God knows your faults he knows you are not consistent, ask for the grace to be consistent with him, call on him, for the bible says that whosoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved. and I know it's not easy but you need to let go or give less attention to things of little importance that draws you away from him. you always find time and give attention to what you love.

create a space for him, find time to get to know him, you can do this by meditating on the word and having faith in it. and also communicating with him through prayer. God is a great rewarder of those who diligently seek him. trust me, having a relationship with God is the best thing ever. it gives you this peace and calmness. and confidence in whatever situation you are, knowing that God will always rescue you.

being consistent with God not only takes willingness, it takes discipline, you know you are not steady so the discipline makes you consistent. be determined and tell God to give you the strength to have a stable walk with him.

I pray a lot for my loved ones, and you just topped the list, you're number 1 now. I will pray fervently for you.
God loves you okay? sinner or not he does.

I think that's all I have, for now.......
@shadeyinka nnamdiosu 701ecilana Jacksonville and others. pls do you have contributions, and advice for our dear brother? pls add. thank you.


God bless you.

Thank you so much! This means a lot to me. God bless you too.

I've often attempted to narrate my experiences with God on this thread, but the truth is that I do not feel worthy in the least to speak with any authority in this gathering. I am a sinner, and I'm just not saying this to be modest. I've stumbled and fumbled my way through life, and I'm not proud of it. Yet, I look back in time, and I see a life that has been full of great highs and great lows, and a God who has been constant, patient, gentle and oh so loving.

I told a story of how God saved me from the hands of kidnappers while I was a toddler. The truth is that even before I quite understood myself as a person, I always felt a strong connection to God. I always remember a prayer I prayed when I was barely a teenager, again not necessarily knowing anything about God at the time, but I felt like I had seen the world for what it is, and asked God that no matter what it took, He should do whatever it takes to make sure I spend eternity with Him. I've prayed thousands of prayers since then, but God always reminds me of this particular one.

Again, I've always felt a profound awareness of the existence of God even when I was not necessarily seeking to be close to God. Perhaps, this awareness also reflected on my character because Christians would always feel comfortable around me and speak to me with the assumption that I was on the same path, even without me acknowledging it. I still do not understand how I became roommates with the Christian Fellowship President in my last year in secondary school. This last year was always a very crucial year in my school...after 5 years of suffering and grueling military training, one finally gained an unexpected level of freedom and liberation in this final year. You could see people establishing their individuality and picking up habits that they would carry into the real world...drinking, smoking partying and many vices were quickly picked up. The dude that was always suggesting we should be roommates, which I was not particularly opposed to, ran with a clique of friends that were into some real deviant stuff I don't even wish to speak on. God knew this was a potential disaster for me, and somehow I ended up rooming with somebody I would frequently pray with and who was just an all around good influence in my life. I still don't understand why he wasn't roommates with his fellow "born-agains"at the time.

Fast-forward many years later, and I was in bad shape spiritually...still a struggle. I knew it, the Spirit of God often tugged at my conscience,
I wasn't quite sure how to snap out of it, and I wasn't willing enough to let go of the world. I was in a dark place, surrounded by the wrong type of 'friends' in a life that revolved around alcohol and partying. Oddly enough, I look back now and realize that I had talked about God to most of my party friends...we were all in the same mess, but something in me still knew that this was all wrong. One time I found myself at a party, having a grand time and all of a sudden I wasn't...God what am I doing here, was all I could think.

About the same time, my Dad called me and asked if everything was fine with my life. Some young ministers came to his office and simply informed him that I was going to be experiencing some serious problems, they delivered the message and vanished. I sat down in my car in a parking lot, Bible in hand, contemplating my fate. In my desperation, I decided to make a vow to God; rescue me from my troubles and I'll dedicate my life to you, I'll never sin again!!!. God knew it was out of desperation(heck, I wasn't done partying) and not true repentance, so right there and then, He made me open my Bible to Ecclesiastes 5:5(I had never seen this verse before)...letting me know I shouldn't make a vow I couldn't keep. Thankfully I didn't make a pledge I couldn't fulfill.

God was sending all these warnings...I was going to hit a very rough stretch, but it was going to lead me home(to God) eventually. It got rough. Everything I was involved in, from academic pursuits to my health all started to fall apart. My sister who had always been the most avid christian in my family was taking a serious battering from the devil. I went to see her in the hospital, and for the first time in years I cried like a baby...I couldn't believe how bad it had gotten. The enemy was roaring and so proud of his work that some likely possessed guy that was a patient in the same hospital as my sister, walked into her room, looked her in the eyes and asked her "so where are your angels now?"

I was in the proverbial dark tunnel, and it was either sink or swim. You know, I observed that some of my favorite preachers emerged from turbulent pasts to their true calling in life...like they were forged by adversity in the dark tunnel. It's not like God completely abandoned me, I could hear Him ask 'son, can you hear me now?' My parents brought my sister back to Nigeria, as the doctors in the US were confounded by her illness. Some pastor that came to pray for her walked into our house, looked at the family portrait, and points at me saying "this one is also a child of God". God led me away from the city where I was living, surrounded by all kinds of shady characters, to a completely different city. He had to isolate me. I found myself praying one night, and I bared it all before God, I wanted to get right with Him and I wanted to get my life back in order. The next day, I went to a mall and as I walked in I realized I forgot something in the car, so I turned around to go get it, when an old man sitting on the bench grabbed my hand. He said God gave him a message to give to the one that would walk by twice...he wondered what it meant because people were walking back and forth, but as I turned around right in front of him, he realized I was the one. He said God asked Him to inform me that He had heard all my prayers, but that I should also watch what I eat.

Wow! God cared about me enough to send a messenger directly to me! I was shocked, excited and a little scared...why should I watch what I eat? This little bit would make sense many years later. Slowly but surely, God was gradually steering me back to the right path. He took me into a season of prayer and fellowship that I so wish could be replicated again in my life. A long prayer for me was barely 15 minutes, but during this period I could praise God and pray for 3 hours. I was woken around the same time every night, filled with so much desire for prayer and worship, for weeks straight. I'm sure the neighbors didn't like this, but no one complained to me. My apartment was on the tenth floor, and I would always open the windows and look out as I praised His name...one night, His presence was so strong and as I looked out the window I saw the biggest and brightest shooting star I have ever seen, it seemed like it was going to make direct impact with me. Whatever it meant, it was amazing...I think I dropped to my knees. I actually thanked God for allowing all the adversities in my life(not that He caused it), because it enabled me to seek Him with more determination, and in seeking Him, I got to know Him better and experience His love on a deeper level.

During one of those days of intense prayer, I was heading down on the elevator from the 10th floor to the lobby. On the 5th floor, a pizza delivery guy joins me in the elevator, and as we head down he looks at me and goes "wow, do you know God has answered all your prayers this year?" I don't know if I was glowing from all the prayers , but I asked him how did he know I had been praying. He laughed, and for the next 2 hours we talked about God...even when I tried to remind him he had to get back to work, he said it could wait!!

Indeed, God has restored so much in my life. My sister has fully recovered, got married and had her first child last week!! God has done amazing things in my life, prayer is truly the key. But the enemy is still trying his best to steal and to destroy. Out of no where, I had a heart attack! This was about the same time in May when the Cameroonian football player had one too and died. I was visiting the Caribbean Islands when it hit me, the doctor that saw me there said no way...too young for that. But the tests confirmed it. Just when it seemed God had brought me through the storm, disaster loomed.

God was always in control, he reinforced my conviction that nothing would happen to me. I believe there was a spiritual battle waged in those crucial hours when my symptoms started. When I told my friend I was feeling some discomfort in my chest, he surprisingly started praying for me so vigorously in front of people...he never did that before. It was like he knew how serious it was before I knew. I saw another white guy I knew with his friends, told him the same thing and he told his friends to go, and immediately started praying for me in public. By the time it got bad and I was taken to the local hospital, the doctor was attending to me when some guy that came to visit his uncle in the hospital came along, interrupts the doctor and insists that he has to pray for me...he wasn't there praying for people either. The doctor gave way and he proceeded to pray for me. I knew God hadn't brought me through everything He did, and sent all these people to pray for me only to watch me die...so I was at ease more than one would imagine. My health insurance coverage includes an emergency evacuation plan, so they were going to send an air ambulance to come get me...but the enemy wasn't done. All of a sudden they couldn't find my information in their system. Precious hours elapsed before they sorted it out and sent the jet to come take me to Miami, Florida.

On the ambulance from the airport to the hospital in Miami, as the sirens wailed and cars got out of the way, I started to wonder to myself how I got to this point of barely clinging on to life. It finally dawned on me; WATCH WHAT YOU EAT was the warning from God many years ago. I wasn't steadfast enough in prayer to seek clarification for that warning. I'm relatively young and in decent shape, but as it turned out, I have a genetic predisposition that doesn't allow my cells to take up as much cholesterol from the blood, people like me should avoid red meat and anything that contributes cholesterol which a normal person could eat. So, some of my coronary vessels were compromised and it nearly cost me my life despite a direct warning from God. Thanks to God, I've made a full recovery and there was negligible damage done to my heart.

The saddest part of all this is that I still don't have a steady walk with God. The Lord has guided me, He has rescued, He has revealed things, yet I still find that I stumble way too often. It's always due to the neglect of prayer...get too busy, get distracted, and slowly one slips back into sin. Trying to be a Christian without constant prayer is as futile as trying to drive a car without fuel. Keep me in your prayers and I'll do same for you.

Here's the thing. I do not right fiction. It took me a week and half if painstaking research and fact checking to write this article. It's left to you to dismiss or research on the history of the Nigerian armed forces dating ad far bavk as the 1940's.

What did you uncover in your research that led you to the conclusion that most coup plotters have been Airforce officers?

Great.

But I thought he had a black rolls Royce. Someone posted a black one last year.

Someone should explain.

This looks like a RR Phantom, while the other one in your link is a RR Ghost. I'm sure he can afford a few toys.
