I guess my understanding of “least of God’s sheep” would be those that are not as committed as others. It may be that is not what Reggie meant at all. I one hundred percent agree that God can “transform” the least into the greatest at His own choosing. All throughout biblical history it has been the one’s who made the biggest mistakes that God seemed to work the greatest in. I know if He can speak through a donkey (Numbers 22) He can sure speak through me.

I have found very little that I have disagreed with you or Reggie on. (Yes, I have visited your site and read your stuff also, and have enjoyed it immensely.) I guess it is just the urgency I feel within myself that if the Church doesn’t live a more committed life to Christ, deception is inevitable and its just around the corner.

We don’t see the manifestations of God like the early Church and the way that Reggie teaches the Church will operate during the tribulation because we are not a “sold out” people to Christ. The dog and pony show’s we see on The Blasphemy Network (TBN) sickens me and I know it sickens God. As I browse the internet I see a people that is hungry for the real deal but there is nobody to feed them. My heart breaks Tom. We are a people that professes the power of God but yet it doesn’t operate in our lives.

I really do believe God is getting a people ready to show His power through once again. And the work Reggie and you guys are doing is awesome. Keep doing the conferences, video’s, articles and keep spreading the truth. It’s seldom you see someone that rightly divides the word of truth in this day and age and has a hunger for the people of God.

Your Brother In Christ,

Dave

Hi Dave – Doesn’t your marvelous testimony lend itself to Reggie’s point that it will be the “least of God’s sheep” that will be transformed into his most fervent witnesses?

“Here is a saying worthy of full acceptance: That Christ came in into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.”

Just a thought from one “fool” to another. 🙂

He sat through testimony service, of which he testified a personal message straight to me. He then exited the Church, got back in his car and I watched the car vanish. I had been visited by an angel that night that a Church full of people got to witness.

It wasn’t long after I closed the Church and started to slip away from God. (Here goes the goosebumps again). I was laying in bed and was awoken by a light so bright it literally cannot be explained. I know how John felt. I was shaking uncontrollably and could move, as I laid paralyzed before the Lord. I heard the voice of the Lord and it sounded like it was coming from all directions and he said to me, “You better get your life in order, for it will save you from the wrath of Judgment, for it is coming soon.” Then I heard the Spirit of God audibly tell me to turn to Psalms Chapter 50:1-6

1The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 3Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 4He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 5Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

I said all of that to say this…I later backslid when I purposefully disobeyed God by marrying a girl he explicitly told me not to. She left me 2 months after we married for another man. This sent me on a downward spiral that it was only the grace of God I recovered from. I spent ten years of my life doing almost everything I had preached against.

Today, I do not hear the voice of God as I did back then. While the Holy Spirit leads me and guides me, I had lost that intimate relationship I had with God back then. I recently listened to a sermon entitled, “Do Thy First Works”. It was on if you don’t feel like you are where you should be with God, go back and do the first works that had brought you to that place to start with. I began to think, what is different in my life now as it was then?

Then:

I prayed constantly.

I was constantly staying in the Word…and I mean a bible stayed in my hand most day and night.

I spent quality time with God. Hours upon hours, just me and Him.

If I talked to you, it was about God or I didn’t speak.

I was what most Christians and the world calls a fanatic. But I lived in the presence of God day and night. I heard His voice, I seen His angels and he allowed me to see things in the spirit world that would scare most. And I lost it all.

I became disabled about 3 years ago. I worked for a company that paid for me to become a certified computer hacker so I could better protect their computer network from the bad guys. I was headed for the top and great things, but God had other plans.

I would end up in ICU with congestive heart failure, kidney failure, diagnosed as a diabetic and later in that month, Multiple Sclerosis hit. Goodbye high paying job and career. Hello walker, wheelchair and taking handfuls of medicine a day. I am now on Disability. But guess what, it affords me the time to once again spend that quality time with God.

I gave all that personal testimony to say this Brother Kelly. I have been on both sides, the one that receives divine revelation from God and the Christian who struggles to hear God’s voice. I know that it takes 100000% dedication and commitment to God to be able to hear His voice and receive the type of revelation that you speak of. I will have to disagree that the “least of God’s sheep” will be able to discern what is going on. It will be only those “fanatics” that will be counted as the Church of Philadelphia of Rev. 3:10. Matthew 24:24 says if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived. If deception is that strong, anyone that is not living the, “sell all you have, give it to the poor, and take up your cross and follow me” life will not survive it, let alone have revelation from God.

I still live with the regrets of walking away from God back then. If any young people read this, please, please, never turn your back on God. There is nothing in the world worth losing His relationship and what He has to offer. Take it from a fool who did.
