Revelation and the Gift of Faith Book One

If wealth and fame are really important to you, you will probably find this book most disagreeable. But if like William Blake you have seen the world in a grain of sand, have found a heaven in some wild flower, and discovered eternity in an hour, then this story will be of very great interest to you. The book shows the Holy Spirit at work in the lives of many disciples of Jesus: scientists and missionaries, medical workers and politicians, soldiers and priests, kings and bishops all working for God. Your body was designed by God to have a long period of sleep nightly. Sleep provides many benefits, for both body and soul. Sleep is a gift from God, and as we sleep, every night, he speaks to us through dreams, visions, and that "still small voice". Every single person mentioned in the book received this gift. Many of the people whose story is told by the author were personal friends and fellow pilgrims: they enjoyed both gifts of sleep and faith; indeed, these gifts are always connected. God has compassion upon all mankind, and the true meaning of Ps 127:2 is that the Spirit visits both righteous and unrighteous in their sleep. True, we all make mistakes as we commit sins of commission and omission, but if we ask the Lord to guide us with his eye, the Spirit will lead in most amazing ways as he did for Job. The Spirit teaches us that nothing happens to us unless he allows it. Like the people described in this book, the author has experienced God speaking through Scripture, through General Revelation, and in dreams for as long as he can remember. Jesus tells us that we must accept him as does the child (Mat 18:3). The special attributes of children are humility, unworldliness, simplicity, quick to love and learn. This virtue is totally unknown to Communist pagans, for they are the direct opposite: self-seeking, worldly, distrustful, quick to hate and kill. If you yourself are willing to take the hand of God's Son, then his Truth and Light will become part of your own personal experience in similar fashion to that of the witnesses whose stories are found in this book. Honouring the Son brings ever more surprise, as all things work together for good when you humbly hold his hand through the pilgrimage of life.
