Abandoned Thirty Days In The Arizona Wilderness

2008-10-10T17:20:00.000-07:00

What it took for me to prepare for this hour we are living in was a month in the Arizona Desert being pruned and beaten with the Rod of God.

When I was dropped off there I told the party that I was either going to die physically, or die to my carnal self. The other party was to return in three days with supplies, they did not return for 30 days.

The water went bad, I became deathly sick and was near death. I tried to dig a hole to protect what food I had from the scorching Sun, but the ground had a hard pan that was five feet thick and could not be penetrated.

The Rattlesnakes would come out of the Desert in a dead heap run right at me! This is not normal at all.

To try and escape the burning heat of the Arizona Desert Sun, I built a small booth made of dead branches from the Ocotillo Plant.

Whenever I would go and set under the booth, the Desert winds would come up and the dust devils would pound my little booth. When I was away from the booth, the dust devils never appeared.

In the area I was in there were hundreds of washes that were caused by the Monsoons a month earlier. One of these washes caught my eye and as I entered the wash I immediately came upon three large boulders in a row.

It is hard to describe all the beauty of this wash, the rose and milk quartz lined the banks, there were huge flat stones balancing on what was left of the sand under them.

There were several Joshua trees, Jack Rabbits and Cotton Tails. Packs of wild dogs and of course the Coyotes.

This location was so beautiful and really it felt quite Spiritual. So my next move was to build a Church in the wilderness. This would be no mere building with four walls to hide the Christian in from the World.

This would not be a physical building where the Christian so often goes it seems only for the purpose of having somewhere for their carcass to sit and wait for it to rot.

Oh no, this would be a very simple Church with no walls, a dirt floor, an open 360 degree view of the creation of God.

So, I began the project. I took milk quartz and wrote, " The Church " on the ground. I then took the quartz and built a large Cross next to it.

I then went on a hunt for a dead Joshua tree limb, I returned with one, this was set on large rocks and became my alter.

For several days I would return to the Church. I would pray, study and worship there. After this I would preach a sermon to the few birds and sometimes a Cotton Tail or two.

I returned there one morning, but this time the Spirit would not allow me to stay, he drove me away quickly. I could not understand at the time the purpose. But I soon learned that the steps of the righteous are indeed ordered of the Lord.

As I walked away from the Church I walked across one of several dirt roads. As I stepped out of the brush onto the road, a car passed by! A car? I couldn't believe it.

The man stopped and backed up. He asked what I was doing out here in no mans land. I told him I came out here by direction of God, to die.

I shared some things with this man and after I shared the Word of God, he hurried off. Looking back I have to laugh now. When he saw me I had a Bible strapped on my back, a walking stick big enough to slay a Bull, and my beard had grown out about five inches!

Back to the little Church. The Spirit spoke to me later that morning and said, " This is not the answer either. " " When will man understand that I do not dwell in any vessel but man? " " You are the Temple of God. "

This went on like this for 30 days out there. The encounters I had with the Lord have totally changed my life.

There is so much more to share but time restrains me. Dear Children of God I beg you to wake up, stand up, and look up!

Bible Verse of The Day

1Corinthians 1:12-13 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

My dear friends, beware of putting denominational tags on the Church of Jesus. To best explain the damage caused by tags I will share with my readers an event that took place in my life during my first evangelistic trip.

"First Evangelistic Trip"

In the early 80's I was praying one morning and the Spirit spoke to me and said, "Go to Lodi". So I forsook everything, home, family and all, and went to Lodi.

I had no clue as to why the Spirit had sent me to this Town. So when I arrived I began to walk the streets and pray. I walked for several hours with no direction from the Lord.

Finally, as I walked down a street I passed a man who was putting something in the trunk of his Mercedes. I looked at his home also, it was one of the nicest in the area.

As I passed by I was somewhat intimidated by the difference in my simple standing in life and the standing of this mans. So I passed on by looking for another. As I passed by the Spirit told me to speak to this man. I continued to walk and resist the Lord.

After some time, and pressure from the Lord, I returned and once again found the man putting something in his trunk. I preached the Gospel to this man and he called on the name of Jesus and was Saved.

After speaking for some time with him and instructing him in the ways of the Lord, I said my goodbyes and began to walk away. The man then shouted, "Wait, I want my whole family Saved". He went in and returned with his wife and children and they were all Saved that day. Glory to God!

After this I thought that this was the beginning of a wonderful move of God in Lodi. So I continued my walk, expecting the Lord to continue this work.

As the day ended and not one other person was Saved, I asked the Lord, "Why am I here?". Jesus spoke and said, "Go to that corner over there and look down the street".

As I stood on this corner the presence of the Holy Spirit grew stronger and stronger. I then seen something that later I realized was a vision. It was so real at the time that For a long time I thought I had physically seen this.

What I seen when I looked down this street was Churches lining both sides of the street. As I continued to look I seen that it was Sunday and all these Churches were ending their Services about the same time.

As the people began to leave these Churches I noticed that they all left the buildings with their faces toward the ground, refusing to look at those leaving the other buildings.

Then Jesus took my focus off of the people and caused me to focus on the names of the Churches. I was shocked as I noticed that each Denomination had several Churches on this same street. I began to be grieved and wept. I then looked over and saw Jesus standing beside me, Weeping.

This is a true event my friends, I leave you with this thought: John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

There is a belief among Christians today that the anointing and power of God are increased with the increase of Biblical knowledge. According to the Word of God, the power of God comes when the Spirit has come upon you.

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

My friends, the anointing is not on the Word of God, it is upon a person. If you are seeking the power of God by the increase of knowledge, you will never obtain it. The power of God can not be bought by your tedious labor in the Word of God, it is only available to those whom God has predestined to be anointed for his service.
