Our Sight Restored


—Have you ever experienced a dream so vivid, so real, that it must have had a deeper spiritual meaning and application? Have you ever been lost in prayer while visions pass through your mind, illuminating what the Holy Spirit is speaking to your heart? Have you heard the call of Jesus through the utterance of a good word, which is then confirmed by the Voice of Truth? Have you ever stepped onto a path, either literally or figuratively, and the Spirit of Truth prevents you from stepping out further? Have you entered a room, either a literal or figurative room, sensing the spirit of darkness, and so you withdraw from that place to pray? Have you ever entered a place, either a literal or figurative place, sensing the authority of the Holy Spirit, and are compelled to stay? This is the spiritual insight God gives each one who is born again and walks by the Spirit. That which was unseen is now seen by the eyes of the Spirit in you. The more I see Jesus, who is the Word of Truth, I am convinced all are given eyes to see when we walk by the Holy Spirit.

A Dream, Believing Is Faith...

Waking up to reality was somewhat hard to accept. Tiffany and I had been married only a few short months, and it was right about then that we noticed Tiffany started to get very sick. Little did we know, as newlyweds, she was pregnant with our first baby!

We really did try to be careful, but God did have plans unforeseen by us, and He does have plans for our little April. I was five years through my schooling and still had five more to go so it seemed. Time was ticking down for Tiffany to go on pregnancy leave and not able to work, and I needed to step up as the man of the family.

The first thing that seemed most responsible at the time was to finish up my studies at Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO and graduate with two associate degrees. I had just enough credits to finish up two separate, non-related, degrees, but not enough to finish a bachelor’s degree. Like I said, at the time it made more sense to get a full-time job and wait for a time to finish my education.
