Jesus Shows His Resurrection Power

October 5th 1979:

The Lord led me by His Spirit to Los Angles. After living in Los Angles, CA for a few months. I got mail stating my 10 year high school reunion was soon to be. So on 8-1-79, 1 took off to Minneapolis, MN and stayed at my Mom and Dad’s again. While there I waited on God by prayer and fasting looking for continued direction in my life. And on October 5th, 1979, in a bedroom upstairs at the farm, something strange happened to me, which is difficult to put into words. All I can say is it seemed the Spirit of the Lord entered my body and mind like never before. As if I was a hundred watt light bulb in a lamp and someone replaced the 100 watt for a 300 watt. My thinking started to excel to a level I know I could not achieve on my own. It seemed as the Lord’s thoughts had become my thoughts. Thoughts on how lost this Nation was and all the Nations of the world. How the Nations were so selfish, lazy and forgetful of the things of God. How unbelieving and blind they were etc. I kept wondering what is happening to me, what is this power that I am hooked up with. I was wondering what God was trying to show me. So, I decided to take a walk to the barn as I pondered what was happening to me. I thought I would go into the barn and visit the little family of cats. A mother cat had given birth to a litter of four kittens about two weeks earlier. I had not been back since they were born. As I went into the barn, I walked over to where I knew the cats nest was. As I looked into the nest, to my surprise, I could see only two kittens. I began to look for the two missing babies. Still feeling this tremendous feeling of love and compassion for all people who were lost and dying without God. Then I located one about IS feet away, and the closer I got, I realized it was dead. And it had been in that condition for sometime. I also could see from that spot, the other kitten was the same, it was apparent that it had been dead for quite some time. I remember the nights during that year were getting very cold. They must have crawled out and could not find their way back, and died from lack of nourishment and protection from their nest. I still remember God moving in me all the time I was thinking about the dead kittens. God’s great compassion was moving in me. Well, I picked up the first one; it was stiff, dehydrated and flat as a pancake. I headed for the second one, to pick it up so that I could bury them both together. My thoughts were it’s so sad they had to die so young. I seemed to have great compassion toward them. All of a sudden, I thought I heard the one cat in my hand make a cry for help, but in the natural, that was impossible. I looked at the baby cat again; it still looked dead to me. I grew up on the farm, seeing dead animals many times. If you ever walk along the side of the road, you might run across what people call road kill. Well, after a couple of days of death, they become fiat as a pancake, mouth open tongues hanging out, like you could just map them in half, stiff as a cracker. That’s what these kittens were like, dead. I reached down and picked up the other baby in my right hand. God’s compassion was moving on me in such a great way. Still no life in the kittens but, as I looked at them, God’s life in me spoke out of my mouth. I heard myself saying, "Live and not die." I took both cats by the barn door and placed them on a sack. I sat down with them while the sun shown in on us. As I sat there, the cats came back to life as I touched them and prayed over them, still having the Spirit of God moving in such a compassionate way. Far about any human compassion. As I was spending time helping the kittens, God started to speak to my spirit. God was saying to me, the people out there in this world, are dead without me. They need someone to teach them about a living God who loves them and wants to bring them life. The Lord said to me, "Go and tell all the world that I died and rose again to bring them life. The life of God. Jesus said, "With Me helping you, we can do it together by My power, My grace, My long suffering and My undying love for all people." The more I sat talking with the Lord, the more the kittens became normal. With no food, no milk, the kittens filled out and became healthy and strong. No signs of dehydration at all. I picked up the kittens again and moved outside to one of the other out buildings and set them down on the ground. I felt the Lord speak again. He said, "Just like those kittens that were dead, with no chance of life, just how you set the kittens in the natural sun to help warm them until thy were fully developed back into how I made them, there are people all over the world who are dead and in need of My life and love. And just like you helped these kittens, saving them and praying over them to fullness, I am asking you to go in my name to a lost and dying world and tell them about Me. Preach the good news and all who believe and receive me as Lord and Savior will be saved. And make sure the keep themselves, not in the natural sun, but in to light of the Son of God. So they too can develop into what I made them to be, sons of God." At that point, I started to cry like a baby. The compassion of Jesus was so great on me. As I cried, I felt impressed by the Lord to let the tears drop down on the baby cats. He then spoke to me, "Those tears are life to the dead, My life, Jesus said flowing through you." Jesus said, "I have cried over Jerusalem and I am crying over you, let my life and my love flow through you to a lost and dying world." I believe this was my calling, not by man, but by the Spirit of the Lord. October 5th, 1979. Amen.
