My Own Spiritual Journey, Part 1

Being new to blogging I will do my best to learn quickly and I hope those that read it will be patient along the way.

The reason for starting this blog is to share and discuss many of the spiritual events that are written about in my new book, "The Gift". It has only been out for just over a month and of the many positive reviews I have received, the most frequent comment is asking me if I believe that what the main character, "Malachai", has experienced is real. When I say, "yes", then their next comments are sharing their own experiences about spiritual events that they have kept quiet in order to avoid judgements from others and the feeling that what they see and experience might mean they are crazy.

As someone who firmly believes in God and has also experienced many spiritual events throughout my own life, I have come to understand that our grasp on what the spiritual world is really all about, is somewhat limited. Throughout my own experiences with both angels and demons, I seldom found answers to what I saw and went through by traditional religious venues. The bible shares many stories about angels and demons, but we are taught not to pay much attention to those stories and focus only on the good ones or those that encourage the religious principles. So, instead I sought the answers by exploring many different religious beliefs and cultural points of views in a desperate attempt to make some sense of my own dreams, visions and direct experiences with the angels and demons. However, like Malachai in the book, my experiences with the spiritual world around me led me back to God and an understanding of who He is and the relationship He wants with us, not just a religious experience of Him and that we actually have authority of these spirits through Jesus.

My journey has been one that directly dealt with many varying spiritual and supernatural beings and events, most of which I have kept quiet and private because of the judgements and condemnation I received by trying to ask questions and understand what I saw and why. However, I have spent much of my life quietly teaching and helping others that share similar experiences like mine so that we can all understand that God has a purpose for what we see and we are definitely not crazy.

All these events have led to writing the book and now creating a place where I hope others can freely share their own experiences, ask questions, seek answers and learn what incredible Gift's God has given each of us. I welcome your thoughts and opinions but ask that all comments be respectful and understanding of others and I look forward to making some new friends and gaining a larger world perspective of the spiritual war happening around us.
