I am a chosen son of God who has given his will back to God and surrendered all.

My Beliefs

I believe ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator I believe that God is the Father and creator of all He is personified in three ways the Father, the Son and Savior and the Holy Spirit.
My most powerful moment of belief was ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator When in a revelation vision I finally reached the throne of God and throughout many visions was rewarded and chosen and confirmed to be His son.
My greatest moment of doubt was ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator When I realized that man and the church were not who I was to follow and did not have any one to help me come to a correct understanding of faith. That changed when God sent an Angel to me to become my wife and to help me seek the truth and the filling of the Holy Spirit.
My spiritual life means... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator I live in two worlds one of the flesh and sinful world and one of the spirit with God in eternal sonship.
The biggest misconception about my faith/belief system is ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator That people who do not really know me think I am either crazy or ignorant. I have spent the last 18 years in prayer and study and have received the revealed confirmation that I am to be a prophetic teacher and faithful follower of the true God.
My spiritual role model is ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator I do not have a man who can fill this role I have been to the throne of God and He is the only one who can fill this role.
The tenet/practice/teaching I appreciate most about my faith is ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator That as a chosen son of God I can go to Him at any time and spend time with Him through the filling of the Holy Spirit.

My Faith History

My spiritual journey has been ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator I knew about God. Now I truly know God.
I was raised as ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator In the Episcopal Chruch and educated in a catholic seminary. I have been filled with the Holy Spirit and now I am not affiliated or belong to any man derived religious church.
Are your beliefs or practices different from your parents? If so, how and why? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator My parents led me to church and they never realized when they became true believers of the true God. However I am convinced that they both were true believers of the true God.
If you have children, did becoming a parent change your relationship to faith? If so, how? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator I have 5 children well over 20 grand-children and over 20 great-grand-children. My faith is personal and with God. My goal is to bring as many of the family to which I am the spiritual head to a deep walk wtih the true God.

How I Practice My Faith

Where and when do you practice your faith? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator I practice my faith 24/7 and this involves prayer, study, reading, writing, and listening to God's answers.
Does your family practice more than one religion or faith? If so, how do you blend the traditions? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator My family are each on their own journey and I only try to get them to understand that God is their God and that they need to be filled with the Holy Spirit to truly follow Him.
How easy or difficult is it to live your faith? Why? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator It is easy for me. I realize that the majority of the world does not know God they only know of Him and many do not believe. That does not affect how I live my faith walk.
In my house, the thing that most represents my faith is ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator The love of God and the continual spiritual blessings. Many come into my house who do not believe and they tell me they are uncomfortable because they feel that God is present and they are being examined. I tell them that evil spirits cannot come into God's presence with out this feeling of fear.
The song/book/film that most represents my faith is ... your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator The Bible is the absolute word of God.

Religion & the Public Square

What should be the role of religion in politics? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator As a true believer we must honor the authority of the leaders even if we do not agree with them. God allowed them to be in that position. However we do not have to follow anything that violates God and His laws.
Should courses about religion be taught in public schools? Why or why not? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator Yes. Without God this world and the people will become more and more evil and hasten the destruction of the world. God is waiting until the correct time to bring on the end of the age.
Is interfaith dialogue important? Why or why not? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator Only if it can be done with love and not conflict. We must who know the true God continue to try and bring the light of true faith to all.
Do you feel comfortable discussing your faith with others? Why/why not? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator Yes I do. I however will not let them spew out ungodly ignorance as truth.
Are religious beliefs compromised by engaging in politics? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator That depends on whether you are a true believer in the true God and know Him and not just know of Him. My belief's cannot be compromised.
Has 9/11 had any impact on your thoughts about religion? Are you more/less interested in learning about other religions? Do you feel more/less comfortable expressing your religious beliefs? your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator 9/11 was a terrible thing but it has not changed my thoughts about religion. I have studied other religions to find out why they believe as they do. I have not found any that are full of truth. I am very confortable in expressing my religious beliefs (however, religion is not a word I like to use as it means belief in anything).
