About Upper Room Ministry

    Upper room ministries is my interpretation of what God has given to me. I guess If you think about it, you cannot put a label on any ministry that the Lord is represented. He is unlimited in light, His person is as manifold as His purpose, His will is as manifold as His thoughts and His thoughts are too high to be numbered or grasped by man. He reveals Himself in the expression of His Spirit through man in such a way that the man is recognized as a man and the wisdom that comes out of that man is the treasure that makes that man a vessel of worth. I am worth only what God has placed in me. For any man who is anointed is recognized as one who is possessed by a force that brings knowledge with that possession. When the Holy Spirit possesses a person, then that person is faded in the background of nothing, and everything is seen through the Spirit. If the Spirit of Christ cannot be recognized in that individual, then all you see is a man and his talent. Of course the knowledge of man is foolishness to God, and the wisdom of God is foolishness to man, for man cannot make sense of it, except it were given to him by revelation.

    I cannot make sense of the things I see or do. I only try my best to obey the force that is in me. The Spirit of God is real- so very real to me. If I do not have direction from Him, I will not move. I feel freedom to do anything I do. I am without sin if I abide in Him. The flesh profits nothing, but the Spirit is life. I live in the Spirit and take no thought for the flesh. This is a practice that takes time to learn. I praise God for the chance to learn how to move in His Spirit. If anything goes in a way that I did not expect, I will not be afraid. For God knows all things, even things in the future and all things, even the mistakes, are for my learning and are for my good. I don't know why God has chosen to show His love to me; I only know that I could never show Him as much love as I would like. I seek to die in His presence to prove my love to Him. He is my everything. This ministry that He has given me will grow only as He allows. I will preach. I will pray. I will work. I will accept His grace and His cross. I will expect things to be hard. I will welcome persecution and with a pure heart before God I can with no doubt say that I will die for Him. I will go out of my way to do it. This is the honor that I hope to achieve.

    Do I desire to be a martyr because of that type of recognition? No, I seek to die for Him because I think of it as the ultimate proof of my love. Until I can die in my flesh, I will wrestle it every day and put to death what I can. I praise God for every victory for I know that nothing is from myself, but everything that is good, yay, even the good thoughts I think are from Him. I give Him the glory even for choosing me for Himself. I realize that if God would had let me have my own choice, (as He did) , I would have never come to Him. But I praise God that after I chose to sin and die, for every man has chosen to sin, that He quickened this dead man by His Spirit. Without Him quickening me, I would not have chosen to bow my knee. Blessed be the God of heaven, who has purchased me with His son's blood and made me partake of His divine life, even His own self, who is blessed forevermore. Amen!

    I will leave this page open for all to read. If you would like to hear more of what God has given me, just drop a line. Send a letter, or call me. I would be happy to preach in your church, or in your house. I mostly like to preach in the woods, and to baptize in streams. I have a vision that is powerful. I do not claim to be the only one that holds it. The Lord has made me sure of a church that will be built. He has assured me of a place in its building, and its nurturing. I do not place limits on this vision, for I don't believe that what He has given can fit into a building.

I see things in the spirit. I see many things happening. I see false prophets arising. I see the church resting on their traditions as if they were pillars. I see a great falling away, that has happened, and persecution that is to come. I see a man that is calling from the woods. He calls them to come out of their churches, and reach the world.

I don't have money, but I have my needs met. I see a church that does not rely on money. When that church comes, I'm sure I will have a place in it, as well as any who are of the same call. If you want to know more about the book I'm writing, or if you would like to have more information about linking with this ministry, please call or write.

May God bless your efforts, and you life for Him.
