I have been called by God to be a Teacher as well as an Apostle and Prophet. For over 30 years I have taught on Spiritual laws and truth, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit in the Body of Christ.

For the last 15 years I have taught and practiced deliverance (casting out demons) in the Church. Although we have taught in many churches, my basic ministry is to Catholics and Protestants alike and has been to those “outside the camp” (home study meetings). I find most Christians to be at a “babe in Christ” level, and try to bring them to maturity.

This booklet is not written for the nominal Christian, but for those who search the scriptures that they might find the hidden manna and thereby grow into manhood! Nor is it written for the closed-minded Christians who are not willing to change, locked in by traditional teaching! But this is written to the “Bride of Christ”, that she may be liberated, know her calling and be delivered from her complacency. It is also written, that the traditions of men with their “so called” religious ideas may be exposed! But whether you are in Kindergarten with your King James translation, or in High School with your RSV, you will still need your Hebrew-Greek Concordance and fresh revelation from the Holy Spirit, unincumbered by church tradition to arrive at the truth!

In many cases, men who are called to be Evangelists and Pastors presuming to teach outside of their calling or pressed into service to try to do so by their congregations have managed to keep the Church on Pablum, thus making Spiritual growth impossible!
