Hello,
I am going to give a seemingly story of my life using no names, instead, I will use people's titles in reference to me. I'm in a desperate need of help in these last minutes before the tribulation period. I, myself, see it difficult for a person to understand what it is that I am trying to say if you do not know my full story. I am going to tell me story first and at the end I will ask my questions. Please do not answer by anything but what the spirit tells you and if it tells you nothing, I ask you not to respond. This is for the safety of both my sanctity and the fragile state in which my discernment already stands based on the freakishly coincindental occurrences that have taken place as of late. If you leave a response or a private message earnestly seeking to help, I am willing to devulge just about everything as the spirit moves me, so that God can speak to me through you. I know this is a heavy burdon but I have been lead to this website through my search and through specific findings of my personal search.
I was born on June 19th 1988 in Miami Florida, to "Mom". Before I was born my mother was given a scripture by God on 2 occasions during pregnancy, once in the Bible and on another occasion in a baby name's book. Luke 1:14-17. I am Mom's first child, although she had an abortion 2 years prior to my being born. My father has not been present in my life until the recent Christmas time of 2006 until present and I have been speaking with him on the phone. At the age of three an entity of divine proportion, which I am faithfully calling an angel, came before me IN THE EARLTHY REALM and woke me from my sleep. THIS WAS NOT IN THE SPIRIT, I saw this creature with what I percieve where my eyes. I awoke next to my mother, who did not see the angel. What the angel said to me I do not know and how I responded I do not recall. My mother however did see me utter words to what I saw and then I peaceably fell back to sleep. My mother could not afford to take care of me, so she sent me to Jamaica to live with my Grandfather, a very prominent figure of the country who is now considered a national treasure. I stayed with my grandfather for a few years and attended school on and off in Jamaica. The most significant memory I have of Jamaica was an occurence in which I took a shortcut during a race in which, what I can only refer to as a gate's spike, peirced the place where my arm becomes my wrist. The cut is about 1 inch in length. When I returned to America to live with my mother I started to attent a common elemtary school and then I attended a private christian school. At this point in my life I had no personal view of God in fact I couldn't understand His existence beyond the sight of the angel which my mind's eye had dispersed among the background of my memories.
FLASH FOWARD TO APPROX. Age: 14-15
I'm in highschool at this time and I am currently completely OFF track with God. There was no search for God from me at this point in my life. In fact I was in some cases doing things to spite God, my excuse that I used (which was a completely foolish, and now ironic, lie) was that I felt God had cheated me by not allowing me a chance to have faith in the fact that I have SEEN an angel, therefore it would not be possible for me to deny the fact that God existed, thus if I did not choose him it would be me being foolish to myself. I know it seems stupid, and I understand this fully now, and at this point I wish that God WOULD send that angel back so that I could speak with it again, hence the irony.. I digress, at around this time in my life my mother would frequently attend worship services in the morning that would last about 2 or 3 hours in which she would exalt praises to God like I have never seen before and have yet to see again. The pastor of that church was an african man with a POWERFUL annointing and I attended the church at one point and he spoke a word over, and possible into, me. He said that he felt the spirit of Elijah on me, and he annointed me with oil. At that point in just floated in my head like the angel, I didn't really take any notice to it, in fact it kind of scared me and I became even more fearful of the "crazy christians". From this point until the moment I fully dedicated my life to Christ most of these occurences never really HIT ME. I mean they made me think every now and then but after I got saved that's when my mind really started ticking. God found me and gave me the ultimatum once and for all on the early morning of 01/07/07. I was high.. HIGH. And I have an extremely bad heart. My subconcious was going wild with what I knew to be right and I said to myself that if I was going to die I wanted to be in right standing with God so that I didn't go to Hell. (Fear seems to lead most Christians to the light in the end. It's funny, because I've heard it said that fear is one of Satan's most powerful tools. Fear and Doubt, that is.) Okay. Once I was saved I began to FULLY devote my life to Christ. I eliminated everything Carnal from my life, including most friendships and many bad habits that I had developed into extreme cases seemingly INSTANTLY. It shocked me that I could quit smoking that easily. I began to focus on my calling in Christ. There has always been this uneasy edge and interest, and even drawing, to the end of all days. I picked up my bible and began to read The Book of Revelation. I was astonished when I came to Chapter 11 in which the Two Wintesses where spoken of. Immediately I researched who these Two Wintnesses are. I percieved them to be Moses and Elijah through things that I began to peice together through bible scripture/prophecy. I felt, and still feel, an attachment to Elijah the prophet. The way he is descibed strongly resembles my own personal characteristics and traits. The fact that he wanted to be Alone with God. And he lived in a state of Depression because of it. I'm asking whoever is reading this to have the faith of a child and view this from a spiritual angle. I am not saying that I am Elijah, in fact the more days go on I begin to doubt everything that I'm starting to believe and have become extremely confused, which is why I am here begging for some sort of help or prayer. There are 2 things that have taken place recently that are pushing me to believe. (To understand the next portion of my story you have to understand what my mother dreamt: My mother's father died, he was lying on a bed, she and her brother where lying next to him and he started cough... and cough and cough, then he started to speak in tongues then he called out his own name in authority. And then he said to my mother and uncle that they were his four messengers and that they need to continue his work the dream continued with my grandfather speaking and my mother and uncle followed him around. My mother later asked a dream interpreter to tell her what the dream meant. Now to understand my dream all you need to know is that it was understood that my grandfather represented God in some form. I feel it was The Holy Spirit.) I asked God to show me that He was real so that I would trust in Him. He granted me a dream... my dream started out obscured and pointless but late into the dream was when God FOR SURE took over. I will start from where God took control of my dream. I was on a phone with one of my friends trying to sue a waitor(prior to God's message) and I suddenly began to fall asleep on the phone I imagined my friend saying into the phone hello....? Then it happend and just as fast as it started is just as fast as it progressed. I awoke to my living room, pitch black, I was lying on the floor. Down the living room hall, the only hall in our house, out of COMPLETE darkness came my mother and she picked me up from the ground (I believe this is symbolic of her praying for 2 years that I would come to Jesus) and she brought me to the hall. Down the hall I could see a figure moving towards me. The figure was my Grandfather and he said my name. (Please understand for what I'm about to tell you that my grandfather is 85 years old, he has suffered 1 heart attack, and 2 or 3 strokes, he is an extremely frail man.) After he said my name I reached out to hold his hands and I BELIEVE, I did not see, that I touched his hands but whatever happened I was connected to him in some fashion. HE LIFTED ME STRAIGHT UP BY MY HANDS! I tried to look him in the face but it seemed obscured for some reason, like it was swaying or molding or moving in some fashion I considered that maybe he was talking, but I heard nothing. After this I awoke. It was a terrifying dream, yet somehow it set me at complete ease. As the the understanding of my dream my mother says that she believes my Grandfather, once again, represent God in some fashion and that the fact that he lifted my up in that manner means that I have been chosen or annointed with something. Now recently over this past weekend I spent my first night ever alone in my house with my mother gone and no friends over. I asked her to pray for me so that God would speak to me and show me his presence once again so that I can not deny him. This was shocking and I am slightly unsure of this but in a sense I am completely sure because of the immediate effect it had on my body. I was sitting alone in my house watching TBN, settling in the fact that I was alone. I heard a whisper, a powerful whisper and it said my name. After a moment of complete and utter terror that paralyzed my entire body for a second or two I responded, "Yes God...?" There was no answer. Now people I understand that you may be skeptical of this, if you are PLEASE DON'T RESPOND. I am acting in a search right now and I do not need to be mislead by a selfish skepticism. If the spirit of God moves you in a mannor that would divert you from believing what I have said then I would highly appreciate your input. There have been several occurences in which I felt like the Spirit of God was speaking through others DIRECTLY to me through TBN and my Church but once again. I'm not sure if these are just self-fullfilled searches. Things that my mind could possibly be imposing on me. I want one last thing to be noted. Since I have fully committed my entire being to God and have received The Saving Grace that Christ offers I have not been baptized. I have called my church and hope to be baptized on the 16th, or 3rd Sunday, of the month. I am also giving myself as an offerring of first fruits unto God and I will have my mother do the same. If what I believe is true I am not risking damaging it for a single moment.
The only real question I have is the obvious one:
Could it be biblically possible that I am one of the two witnesses spoken of in the book of Revelation?
I am begging you to search your hearts and the Face of God for an answer to this. Do not respond without first consulting God. Prophets, if you have forseen anything of this nature and would like to talk to me more Please message me elsewhere. I will not devulge my identity unless I am absolutely 100% God Sure that I can trust you. To all those who have taken the time to read this and will put me up into prayer, I want to thank you no matter what response you come to. But once again and finally, Please... Do not respond out of a personal nature. Respond only if God moves you with the passage that I have written. Thank you all..

Of course it is possible. Go ahead and get baptized. Then study about Christ in the scriptures and what He taught. Above all "Ask God for His Spirit". God has promised to give His Spirit to those who ask. That is enough to keep you busy while waiting on the Lord. It is His timing not yours. Do not grow impatient or weary . Wait on the Lord. He has spoken to you by a messenger and audibly. He has chosen you for something.

Hey, My name is Jason and i'm 22 years old.
I'd just like to say that those responses that you recieved on your topic have hardly any to no heart in them..
Nothing on this site comes close to bringing me to tears but i actually have to hold back from crying right now....
Belive me when i say this, EVERYTHING in life happens for a reason, everything. I belive that you were led to fall away from God so that when you came back, you'd come back with avengence.
I don't know why i'm feeling this way, honestly but i really want to cry right now. I think i feel your confusion and truly can see my self in your position. Probably because we are almost the same age.
You need help? I will do my best.
I was compelled to answer you personally. I don't know why. But i think you need someone you can trust right now and someone who will give you the God honest truth. And that person is me. I'm not saying i have all the answers but i truly belive in you and how important you are.
You are not crazy...not by a long shot. How can you be... have you ever had any reason to think that there's something wrong with you? do you have a history of psycological illness? I don't think so....not according to your story anyway...
You are not crazy and i think that's one of the things you should accept before you go any farther. People with hard lives like you have have a tendancy to cling to the Father and, like me, i think that you have a calling and the reason for such a eventful childhood is the catalist for your calling.
I don't know if you are the prophet Elijah. I will not say that you are or if you are not. God will reveal all in time. You are very young now, very young. And I think that you have more situations to go through to actually get to the point where you truly understand and believe in your calling. We all have a calling but some chose not to hear it....
Embrace this, embrace it for every second. .... i know it may be scary but just think , you may be a person that will change the world.... knowone knows but God and he will reveal all in time and through prayer.... You love God, i see that and it must have taken something great to get you out of the social situation you were in..
Take it from me, someone who is young like you, i had a hard time also. Not as hard as you but i did my share of drugs and drinking in my teenage years. I regret it, i might add. But i think that every part of ourlives the good and the bad, make up who we are and where we are going.
You said you saw an angel when you were a child, i believe that. Things like that get burned in your minds eye and never go away. If you remember it, it happend. I can remember things from when i was that young, but i know what was a dream and what wasn't and it's the same with you. You know....and only you can know.
Thank you for sharing your story with us and please if you wish to contact me contact me through my email jasongs101@yahoo.ca
May God be with you always......

Enjoyed your testimony and you are in my prayers!
Dear Ones:
With your voice, call them in. From the East, West, North and South, call them in. Bless them with your overflow. Bless them with words of comfort and words of jubilee. Call them to repentance and forgiveness of sins. Call them to finally let go of all bitterness, hate, anguish. Tell them that through the release of their pain, sorrow, suffering, there is the 'Other Side'. All That which has kept distance between Our hearts, Our spirits, Our love, it is that space that must be conquered through My finished work , through My Word, It is finished , says the Lord!! DADDY

Hi.
I, too, believe your story.
All I feel compelled to tell you is not to look to man for the answer but look to your Father in heaven. Study not just who Elijah was, but what he did. Study WHAT he did, WHAT he stood for.
There will be more tough times ahead... there always are for those who faithfully serve Him, but cling to him for wisdom and guidance and He will never leave nor forsake you.
You are in my prayers.

This is the real fun......Resting/relaxing in the SON!
On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me......Jesus is bidding us to
come and walk on the water with Him - That's what faith must be! And to
dive into the eye of the storm where it is safe. On Christ the solid rock we
stand.....all other ground is sinking sand!

A question burns my mind: have you started getting contact from THE OTHER WITNESS?
ManDain
Jan 30 2007, 12:00 PM
No, nothing at all, but I have been looking believe me. I see things that bring speculation to my mind, but I pass most of these things off as purely MY mind speaking, not the Holy Ghost. I also have no clue as to when, if I God is telling me what I think He is telling me, I will find the other, but I believe we will meet in the streets of His Holy city when the time comes. I wanted to ask if anyone knows anywhere that I can find history on Elijah, besides that of what the bible offers. I know it's a stupid question and there probably is no other history. But I want to know who Elijah was as a child and who he came from. Does anyone know the geographical location of the city of Gilead today? I believe that might be another link I could look at.

Peace be with you dear. I will neither disuade you nor encourage you in giving you a direct answer, but listen to what I am writing.
Though I believe in Christ as my personal savior and that I believe I received the Holy Spirit, I profess also that I am spiritually blind and deaf. I have seen powerful transformations in people only to witness their influence was from the enemy. Because I have been fooled once I swore off trusting my own eyes and my own ears, but believe that not even I can shut out the power and grace of Christ in my life because I cannot undo what he did for me on the cross, so I wholly accept his loving gift.
Listen then and let the Lord's Spirit truly discern this for you, and may the powers of the enemy be bound and rebuked in Christ name.
I believe the two witnesses that Christ speaks of in Revelations are the two books of the Bible; the Old and the New Testament. It is simple as that for no flesh does what these two witnesses can do, but only the Word of God.
There are powers of disillusionment that would appeal to my flesh and feed me with heady thinking, but these are not from God. Instead I bow before the Lord being still and seach in my blindness and deafness for God's will.
Take care in your walk with Christ.
Love HB

Great post, HB.
I especially wanted to reemphasize (sp?) the above.
ManDain,
Just continue to seek a closer walk with Jesus every day, every day, and he will guide your path... it will become clear. Seek Him... seek Jesus and if it is indeed Him who has spoken with you it will become clear....
... but as HB says, beware the "powers of disillusionment".

I opened my Bible to Isaiah 35: 3 - 7: "Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, and fear not: behold your God shall come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; He will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing for IN THE WILDERNESS SHALL WATER BREAK OUT AND STREAMS IN THE DESERT. AND THE PARCHED GROUND SHALL BECOME A POOL AND THE THIRSTY LAND SPRINGS OF WATER."

only God can make your way known. you do the praying and the
fasting...for you must hear from Him and know from Him...that
you should not stumble on thoughts of others, or even your own
thoughts...
these are the days...the outpouring is upon us...grow in it, go in
it, do it, and all things will be confirmed. Only God can define your
calling...many think they are called, and indeed, may be...
there will be an key of authority resting on the shoulder bearing
this burden...

I am not young. But I was once. I was about your age when I committed my life to Christ and after twenty years in the faith I have grown in maturity, knowledge and the grace of our Lord.
Do not be caught up with foolishness Jason. Even John the Baptist did not know or even imagine that he was Elijah, and yet Christ said clearly that he was.
The asylums are full of people who think they are Jesus or Elijah or the two witnesses. There are probably also some in there that think that they are the old or new testament.
I am certain without any shadow of doubt that is that he IS NOT one of the two witnesses.

The Spiritual meaning of this Scripture is speaking about the coming of the Power of God. Brought By Christ and His covenant. Offered to all who can hear and obey. The desert and wilderness signifies that place where no one dwells, where no one looked, a place unaware to the world. This is where the two witnesses found the Lord and how the two witnesses of the Lord dry up the earth for 1260 days and turn the waters to blood and strike the earth with all the Plagues of the bible.

"Excubitor" I didn't say that he was Elijah or anyone and i've also told him that personally so please don't put words in my mouth.
I think that we all need guidence sometimes and just someone who will listen to them and take them seriously.
Obviously that person is not you.
I just tried to lend a helping hand by offering myself as an ear to listen. I never said he was Elijah!!
