Nearly two decades ago, God began to lead me towards a revelation of truth that has culminated in the writing of this book. A series of dreams occurred throughout the years that were clearly from the mind of God. In these dreams was a common theme that pointed to a truth that would later become an awesome revelation. At this point let me give you the details as I remember them. Very early in my Christian life, I had a dream where I was outside and I looked across the land and saw a gray ceiling of clouds hanging over a clear, pale yellow sky on the horizon. The clear band of sky stretching across my view was broken by seven very shocking formations of funnel clouds, all touching the earth. At the time I didn’t even know there was such a thing as multiple tornadoes. Some years later, I would see them in the weather report on the news. They were out in northwestern Oklahoma. Then the camera angle changed and it was as if I was in an aerial position looking down at a large body of water. A single funnel cloud was racing across the water splitting the surface the way a speed boat leaves a wake. As the camera cut back to my position on the ground, I saw and heard myself as if I were someone else watching me from behind. I pointed at the sky and shouted, “IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, GO BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME!” Then, seeing through my own eyes again, the pale yellow sky with the gray ceiling was unbroken and clear. The seven tornadoes had vanished. At the time, I honestly had no idea this was from God. But, unlike most dreams, I never forgot it. Then a second dream came to me. I really don’t know when, but I can say with certainty it was years later. I was in a small farmhouse on a yellow grassy plain. It looked very poor. The paint was mostly gone and the slat siding was gray. My mother was there also. I walked out of the front through a wooden screen door onto a covered porch. There in front of me just yards away, was a sight that struck terror into my soul. A massive black funnel cloud was churning furiously right in front of the house… This brought back the kind of fear I hadn’t known since childhood when a trailer house I was in with a babysitter was rocked almost to the tipping point by tornadic winds. I remember as a four- or five-year-old child holding onto a chair as my babysitter, Lucille, who was in her sixties, lay on the couch with one foot on the floor and her arms sprawled across the cushions to steady herself. She was on the verge of tears. Her little AM radio was calling out through the din of the howling wind with the voice of a local weatherman telling everyone to stay away from windows and doors and to stay inside and find shelter. I looked at Lucille and asked, “What are we going to do?” She looked at me with such fear in her eyes and said, “I don’t know, baby!” The trailer rocked back and forth like some giant was outside trying to roll us over.
