DANIEL 8:3-11 THEN I LIFTED UP MINE EYES, AND SAW,  AND, BEHOLD, THERE STOOD BEFORE THE RIVER A RAM WHICH HAD TWO HORNS: AND THE TWO HORNS WERE HIGH; BUT ONE WAS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER, AND THE HIGHER CAME UP LAST. I SAW THE RAM PUSHING WESTWARD, AND NORTHWARD, AND SOUTHWARD; SO THAT NO BEASTS MIGHT STAND BEFORE HIM, NEITHER WAS THERE ANY THAT COULD DELIVER OUT OF HIS HAND; BUT HE DID ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, AND BECAME GREAT. AND AS I WAS CONSIDERING, BEHOLD, AN HE GOAT CAME FROM THE WEST ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH, AND TOUCHED NOT THE GROUND: AND THE GOAT HAD A NOTABLE HORN BETWEEN HIS EYES. AND HE CAME TO THE RAM THAT HAD TWO HORNS, WHICH I HAD SEEN STANDING BEFORE THE RIVER, AND RAN UNTO HIM IN THE FURY OF HIS POWER. AND I SAW HIM COME CLOSE UNTO THE RAM, AND HE WAS MOVED WITH CHOLER AGAINST HIM, AND SMOTE THE RAM, AND BRAKE HIS TWO HORNS: AND THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE RAM TO STAND BEFORE HIM, BUT HE CAST HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND STAMPED UPON HIM: AND THERE WAS NONE THAT ...

"In 1994, I experienced my first vision. On my way to my maternal grandmother's funeral, riding down the freeway heading to Oakland, California, and listening to the conversations from my mother, brothers, and sisters, I looked out the window into the sky. Deep in thought about what it would mean to my mother that her mother was gone, the image we know as Jesus appeared in the sky, and it never moved or changed; He remained the same.

These faces changed faster than I could think about what I was seeing.   Later that same year, God spoke audibly, saying I needed to take my son to church; otherwise, he would not know Him. I obeyed His command and took my son to church. I still did not mention what I had seen or heard.

  1 Corinthians 1:25-29   BECAUSE THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN MEN; AND THE WEAKNESS OF GOD IS STRONGER THAN MEN . FOR YE SEE YOUR CALLING, BRETHREN, HOW THAT NOT MANY WISE MEN AFTER THE FLESH, NOT MANY MIGHTY, NOT MANY NOBLE, ARE CALLED: BUT GOD HATH CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE WISE; AND GOD HATH CHOSEN THE WEAK THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE THINGS WHICH ARE MIGHTY; AND BASE THINGS OF THE WORLD, AND THINGS WHICH ARE DESPISED, HATH GOD CHOSEN, YEA, AND THINGS WHICH ARE NOT, TO BRING TO NOUGHT THINGS THAT ARE: THAT NO FLESH SHOULD GLORY IN HIS PRESENCE.   BUT OF HIM ARE YE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO OF GOD IS MADE UNTO US WISDOM, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND SANCTIFICATION, AND REDEMPTION: THAT, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, HE THAT GLORIETH, LET HIM GLORY IN THE LORD.   LOVE

  1 SAMUEL 4:19-22  AND HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW, PHINEHAS' WIFE, WAS WITH CHILD, NEAR TO BE DELIVERED: AND WHEN SHE HEARD THE TIDINGS THAT THE ARK OF GOD WAS TAKEN, AND THAT HER FATHER IN LAW AND HER HUSBAND WERE DEAD, SHE BOWED HERSELF AND TRAVAILED; FOR HER PAINS CAME UPON HER. AND ABOUT THE TIME OF HER DEATH THE WOMEN THAT STOOD BY HER SAID UNTO HER, FEAR NOT; FOR THOU HAST BORN A SON. BUT SHE ANSWERED NOT, NEITHER DID SHE REGARD IT. AND SHE NAMED THE CHILD ICHABOD, SAYING, THE GLORY IS DEPARTED FROM ISRAEL: BECAUSE THE ARK OF GOD WAS TAKEN, AND BECAUSE OF HER FATHER IN LAW AND HER HUSBAND. AND SHE SAID, THE GLORY IS DEPARTED FROM ISRAEL: FOR THE ARK OF GOD IS TAKEN.   LOVE

REVELATION 4:7-9   AND THE FIRST BEAST WAS LIKE A LION, AND THE SECOND BEAST LIKE A CALF , AND THE THIRD BEAST HAD A FACE AS A MAN, AND THE FOURTH BEAST WAS  LIKE A FLYING EAGLE . AND THE FOUR BEASTS HAD EACH OF THEM SIX WINGS ABOUT HIM; AND THEY WERE FULL OF EYES WITHIN: AND THEY REST NOT DAY AND NIGHT, SAYING, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHICH WAS, AND IS, AND IS TO COME. LOVE

JOHN 4:9-10   THEN SAITH THE WOMAN OF SAMARIA UNTO HIM, HOW IS IT THAT THOU, BEING A JEW, ASKEST DRINK OF ME, WHICH AM A WOMAN OF SAMARIA? FOR THE JEWS HAVE NO DEALINGS WITH THE SAMARITANS. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER,  IF THOU KNEWEST THE GIFT OF GOD, AND WHO IT IS THAT SAITH TO THEE, GIVE ME TO DRINK; THOU WOULDEST HAVE ASKED OF HIM, AND HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEE LIVING WATER .   LOVE

ISAIAH 53:4-6 SURELY HE HATH BORNE OUR GRIEFS, AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS: YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM STRICKEN, SMITTEN OF GOD, AND AFFLICTED. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES: THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM; AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL.    LOVE

2 CORINTHIANS 6:17-18   WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE , SAITH THE LORD, AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING; AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU. AND WILL BE A FATHER UNTO YOU, AND YE SHALL BE MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS, SAITH THE LORD ALMIGHTY.    LOVE

PSALM  83:13-18   O MY GOD, MAKE THEM LIKE A WHEEL ;  AS THE STUBBLE BEFORE THE WIND. AS THE FIRE BURNETH A WOOD, AND AS THE FLAME SETTETH THE MOUNTAINS ON FIRE; SO PERSECUTE THEM WITH THY TEMPEST, AND MAKE THEM AFRAID WITH THY STORM . FILL THEIR FACES WITH SHAME;   THAT THEY MAY SEEK THY NAME , O LORD. LET THEM BE CONFOUNDED AND TROUBLED FOR EVER; YEA, LET THEM BE PUT TO SHAME, AND PERISH: THAT MEN MAY KNOW THAT THOU, WHOSE NAME ALONE IS JEHOVAH , ART THE MOST HIGH OVER ALL THE EARTH.   LOVE
