I am publishing a book of some of my blog posts. Its title is “Real Conversations with the LORD,” and it is subtitled “The Fall of Babylon.” The cover will feature the attached Painting by Pieter Bruegel.
Here is the prologue.
This compilation is drawn from a series of blog posts I’ve written over the years, the book spanning the period from 15 April 2025 to 23 June 2025. They represent a fraction of the countless conversations I’ve shared since my overwhelming spiritual awakening on 10 May 1994. Each post is part of an ongoing journey: an intimate dialogue with the LORD, who continues to daily transform me and those who hear Him as the enlightenment, giving an ever deeper understanding of His presence and manner.
That decisive day in May 1994 marked the beginning of a transformation I never anticipated. I was sitting in my yard, engrossed in a book (about the end times, written by an author I later came to understand was one of many false prophets who by consent trespassed into things forbidden), entirely unaware that a solar eclipse was occurring as I read. In a moment of intrepid ignorance, I issued a challenge to the LORD, saying, “If You are who You say You are, show me something. Prove it to me.” What followed was nothing short of astonishing.
The LORD, overlooking my petulance, very quickly responded to my challenge in ways I couldn’t have imagined. He revealed His presence not just in my thoughts but through a series of coincidences that aligned seamlessly (my thoughts) with external events and even the natural world around me. It was as if, in these experiences, the physical universe itself was metaphysically speaking, confirming His omnipotence and intimate involvement in every aspect of my life and creation. He, speaking to me in my own thoughts, posed a simple yet profound question to me: “Now that I’ve shown you, what will you do?” My answer, after a moment of consideration, was absolute and genuine: “I’m in. Please, show me more.”
From that moment onward, my life became an ongoing conversation with the LORD. Every thought, every event, every encounter seemed to carry His signature, guiding me and teaching me. These blogs are a testament to that journey, a collection of moments where the flesh veil between the Divine and the earthly is torn open, giving sight of His presence and purpose, through our conversation at His mercy seat.
Through these writings, my hope is to invite others into this conversation, to share in the experience of His presence as I have. I believe (know) that in doing so, others may come to recognize His hand in their own lives, just as I have in mine (which is, in fact, life from the dead, mortal man putting on immortality). This compilation is more than a personal record; it is an offering, a confession of faith, a bridge to connect hearts and souls with the ever-present, ever-loving Creator, our Father who continues to guide and reveal Himself to those who diligently seek Him.
As I close this introduction, I am reminded of the words of Jeremiah 29:13, the LORD therein saying, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart [mind].” And John 14: 20, “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” May these reflections of His light kindle the fire of His Spirit in you to seek Him, and putting off worldly corruption, with your whole mind, discover the unfathomable depths of His presence and guidance.
