Testimony and Commission
The Enochian Church of Jesus the Christ
My Testimony and Commission
I have always been one to study the scriptures, having a heartfelt desire to know about God and His Son, Jesus. I have long known Jesus as savior and wanted to know more about the salvation He provided.
It was not until I became a father in August of 1995 that I truly began to understand just how much a father could love his child. I then began to piece together how much God must love us, we who are made in His image. I could not, and still cannot, imagine giving up my child to a cruel torture and then death for the sake of anyone. That, however, is exactly what God did for us, for me, so that I could be reconciled to Him. I therefor plead to Him for forgiveness of my sins and trust in the salvation He provided in His Son Jesus the Christ.
When my daughter was just three years old, I woke to hear her crying in the night. I went to her room and found her awake saying that she was scared to be alone in the dark. I lay down beside her to comfort her, telling her that she was never really alone. I told her that I was in the next room and that Jesus was with her too. I held her close and watched her as she drifted back to sleep. As I held her, I considered the task of raising a daughter in today’s world and knew I needed help. I considered the things I would need for such a monumental task and realized that I would need wisdom in abundance.
I was thinking of King Solomon as I began to pray. I compared myself to Solomon, and asked for even more wisdom than he had been granted. I justified this incredible request to God based on the fact that Solomon only had to run a kingdom. I, on the other hand, had to raise a daughter in today’s world and would need God’s blessing and a lot more wisdom than some ancient king. Solomon, I told God, had it easy. I drifted off to sleep with this prayer on my lips.
I have always believed that God does indeed answer prayers, but I never thought I would be answered so directly as I was that night. I have also long suspected that God has a good sense of humor and I had apparently touched that wonderful aspect of our God with my request. He woke me with laughter; neither mine nor my daughters, but His. His laughter was not only audible, it was in the room with me!
Being startled, I came awake instantly and began to search for whoever was in the room with us. I found no one. He then spoke and said to me, “If you want wisdom, go find my word.” I immediately knew exactly who was speaking to me. I reached for my Bible, a King James Version. He spoke again saying, “That is a good place to start, but go find all of my word.” I spent the remainder of that night turning through my Bible searching; for what I was not sure.
I knew what God had said to me, but somehow, it did not make sense to me. I had been raised in the thought that the sixty six books of the King James Version contained all of God’s word and that there was no more. God had given me a task that contradicts traditional thinking and my days were spent turning page after page in my Bible. I made no progress.
One night, after many days of searching my Bible, I was again comforting my daughter and had fallen asleep in her room. I began to dream. I found myself standing in a clearing of a wooded area unlike any I had seen before; a beautiful garden. As I slowly turned and admired the beauty that surrounded me, I realized that I was actually standing in water that was a little deeper than my waist. The water, now that I noticed it, was so crystal clear that had I not felt it’s cool wetness, I may not have known I was standing in it. I continued to turn, and there in front of me was a presence; a being who’s person was so radiant and pure that I could not truly fix my eyes on it. Though this being was obviously there, the purity of it was such that my eyes could not capture it’s image nor could my mind comprehend it. Quickly and with authority this being took hold of me, and plunged me beneath the water and raised me up again. It then said to me, “Now go and do my work.” I had been baptized by the Holy Spirit. Some may say that it was a dream. I, however, lay claim to its reality. Awakened again at the conclusion of this wondrous event, I spent the remainder of the night studying my Bible and praising God.
During this study, I read the tiny Book of Jude. The fourteenth verse seemed to leap off of the page at me. It is a quote from Enoch, a prophecy, with credit given for the quote and presented in a manner that indicates that this is common knowledge to Jude. In quoting Enoch, Jude also calls him a prophet. Considering that God was so impressed with Enoch that He brought him straight into Heaven without him having to die first, it only made sense to me that we should be able to reference this prophecy from this wonderful man elsewhere in the Bible. Amazingly we cannot. Thus began my research on this seventh man from Adam which eventually lead to my personal discovery of and study on The Book of Enoch the Prophet. I eventually encountered the 1611 King James Bible which contained the books of the Apocrypha. I learned how the Authorized King James Bible was put together.
These have been exciting times for me as God has continued to reveal His plan for me. Big things are on the way, things that will take more effort on my part than reading and research. These new tasks are all to honor and glorify God and to bring the Good News of the Christ to the world. Praise to the Father in the name of Jesus The Christ. All things are possible with God. I have asked for His blessing and believe I receive more of it daily. If God is for me, who can be against me? Great is His faithfulness.
