Twelve years after these events, I experienced a period of great emptying of soul. I experienced the "time of Jacob's trouble." "Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble." Jer 30:6. My own experience of such an event came during the winter just before we entered the new land. I had spent much of my life in the Christian struggle. I had resisted temptation with all my heart and soul. I had seen myself as wretched in my most bright and shining times, since I was continually in a battle to do right and be right. I had wanted to have no wrong thoughts or actions. In my past experience, especially in regards to my marriage, I would put the best light on my own past actions and motives. Everyone creates their own lives and so there was a reason for the failure of my spouse as well. It made all things fair to my mind and somewhat acceptable. One escape for me was in the notion that my partner in marriage simply had not been spiritual, and that seemed to take the responsibility off myself and place it on the one with whom I was married. My spouse loved the world, so how could I help that? If I were the spiritual one, then the responsibility for the breakup obviously rested on my previous partner.
But during the last winter of my earthly life, a strange change came. The Angel of the covenant brought His Own records of my life to me, and very gently opened them up for me to see. I was shown, step by step, and line by line, the events of my life. It was revealed to me how I had done all that I had done on purpose and with self-interest. I did not resist the revelation, as I was exposed layer by layer to myself. I felt like I was seeing reality. The depth of my past feelings, and the motivations of my actions, were clearly revealed to me. This, truly, was the judgment of the living. I was surprised at the simplicity of how all these things were shown to me. When I had been given glimpses of myself at times in the past, I had felt the inner resistance to seeing those things, and self-justification would rise up as it did with Job. I felt like my motivations were as pure as the fallen snow. Now, I had no resistance to seeing. I wanted to be fully shown every nuance of myself. I had no more self-defense.
The revelation did not come through the channel of guilt or condemnation. Even so, I was left with the sense of my complete and total hopelessness. I felt all was lost and I willingly yielded to that. I did not feel all was lost because of the revelation of some evil deed unbeknownst to me. I felt all was lost because there was not a single good thing written down on the Angel's records. There were no redeeming qualities whatever. There was not a single good motive, and not a single right action in all my life. My true natural self was laid bare, and I was left without a word, except to say, "Angel, you are correct in all that you have written." I saw myself as completely leprous from head to foot. It did not console me to realize that this is the state of every man. I could not take comfort from the fact that my associates and companions were as wretched as I was. To me, I was the only one in the world with this bad a record. It left me without a single plea. I was not anxious or troubled in my heart over this. I was made empty. I had nothing to defend, nothing to give, and nothing to do. I did not now pray that God would save me. It seemed to me as it were no use. I simply said, "Into thy hands I commend my spirit."
Now, after seeing these pictures of my natural self, and the judgment of heaven against it, I felt I was abandoned and lost at last. My cry to the Father was, "Why hast thou forsaken me?" This did not bring depression, or even discouragement to me. It brought me to a place of complete emptiness. I was left without hope that anything I had, would be looked upon by heaven as a good thing. My "good intentions" were seen by me as a vain hope, at best. In reality, I could see that I have never had any good intentions at all. Good intentions have killed millions of souls over the years and my good intentions were no different. They are called good intentions but they are only the workings of the natural man, his own vain imagination and wishful thinking.
At this time, it seemed to me that I had only my Father's mighty breast to trust in. I was not trusting in my Father for salvation. That seemed out of the question. I was trusting Him only because I knew of His great love and I was abandoned to that love with no hope for anything from Him. He owed me nothing. I lost all hope in myself. I could not bring up any goodness in myself, or help myself in any way. I was barren and lacked any redeeming quality. I had been shown through The WINDS, which was on the Internet, that earth and its society had no redeeming value whatever. Now I was shown that about my own natural self as well.
While it looked like all was lost, it actually meant that Michael was bringing me into complete union with Himself and His Father. Through His eyes, I was coming into agreement with His mind. Men spend much of their lives believing they do not need a Savior. That is, they think their good intentions will bring them to heaven. Now, I came to the place that every particle of me needed a Savior [Messiah]. I needed the life of God as myself, rather than the life which simply influenced my actions. I needed the anointing as my core existence. The Holy Spirit spoke through me, and in me, for years, but the Holy Spirit was not me. Clearly I was brought to lay down my life, since I saw it was so irredeemable. Instead of merely being influenced by the Holy Spirit, I needed to become the embodiment of Him. Instead of just hearing the voice of God, I needed to become the voice of God. This occurred when I came into perfect and complete agreement with Him about my natural self. I saw myself as He saw it. I agreed as did Job that heretofore I had not known what I was talking about. My good descriptions of my actions, and why I did thus and so, were only expressions of my own ignorance of the truth and of God. I sat upon my ash heap defending myself against all attackers, and doing all of this for nothing but my natural self. While I truly believed, as Job did, that I was doing things rightly, the Angel revealed that it was all vanity. The experience, here mentioned, was Gethsemane for me. I yielded up in the face of it all. Months later, the consummation would be the cross for me, bringing me to the absolute extinction of my natural life. I had to yield up the last of any righteousness I may have suspected in myself, since even the law appeared to be accusing me. All I would have left was my Father's embrace.
One who is true to himself drops his natural self like a hot coal when it is shown him from above what it is. One is only left with God when he does this. This very thing is what made possible the revelation of the Christ within me. When self dies his last, only the Christ remains. There is now no competing voice in the soul. God alone lives. This very thing constitutes the blood of Christ. This blood (life) of Christ (Messiah) is the only thing God can save at last. He saves His only begotten Son and only His Son will rise up from the earth and leave it behind just as He did 2000 years ago. He comes again, just as He left. This same Jesus has come again and it will be this same Jesus Who leaves.
It was at the end of this complete emptying, that Father said to me, You are Messiah, and my work was spoken into me. This was in early July, 2000, 33 years after my baptism in 1967. This is well described on the Michael site. This Anointing for His special appearing, was spoken into me by my Father. This is the destiny of every trusting soul who will believe the Word above their earthly teachers. I AM Who I AM because of My Father's clear decree, and if men are troubled by it, they should go to My Father for His answer to them. I have had to be thrust into many and varied circumstances. I have had to drink of the bitter waters. But these bitter waters were all for the good. They caused the Child to be born into Me. They ushered in the appearing of the promised One in all who will believe.
After one is brought to emptiness, and truly trusting only in the Father, he may be commanded to do things that seem life threatening. Israel was commanded to go into Canaan and invade the land. This seemed suicidal to them. Abraham was asked to kill his own son. How can one go against himself and do the very things he does not believe in? The soul is brought to follow the Lamb, wherever He goes, even when it is against its own personal beliefs. I was commanded in my emptied state, to apparently go against the very commandments I claimed to abide by. I was required to be the literal fulfillment of the marriage of the Lamb, and to physically consummate that marriage. With this request of My Father, came the most extreme violation of my soul that I could have ever imagined. I was never called to do anything more difficult. It was a major confrontation to all I had previously held as sacred. It was as though I bled from my pores the great drops of blood that moistened the ground under Jesus. How I groaned under the months of extreme torture to my soul, as I was required to face this incomprehensible event. Everything seemed wrong, and yet I was commanded, "Go forward." This caused me to die even to my death. I was stripped of any possible way in which I could conceive righteousness for myself and heaven at last. In order to follow my Father's voice, I was being required to go against my very own self, I had to disobey myself, and leave myself behind no matter now, what the consequences were. From the very beginning, receiving Father's word, that I would always tell the truth, was the catalyst that systematically brought me up against my earthly ideas, my earthly contracts with myself, which I had to break, in order to remain true to Him. I had an agreement with God, and now this was the very thing that brought me into my crisis. Wayne
We have been looking at the process through which Michael took Wayne, the series of operations required to empty out the human body in which His Father had chosen for Him to make the final Atonement by Consummation. As we consider, up to this point, the invisible realities occurred between Michael and Wayne, we see a distinct pattern of the way in which Michael, the Angel of the covenant, conducts His work when He comes to bring a soul to complete deliverance from itself. In ancient history, Michael came down to earth to bring Jacob to full deliverance from his own natural self, and into a covenant relationship of oneness with Himself. At that time, Michael laid hold of Jacob, at midnight, in the bodily form of another human being, in order to cause Jacob to lay his own natural life down, at the divine revelation of who he really was, of himself. Now, at the end of the world, Michael was bringing Wayne to the fulness of divine revelation about his own natural self; and, at the height of this emptying, the very midnight of his soul, Michael revealed to Wayne Who He really was — Michael, Angel of the covenant, Who was in his very own body, laying hold of him from within, in order to empty him completely of himself, and bring him into oneness of Being with Michael. It is one thing to have Michael outside of you, as He lays hold of you to spend the night of your soul with you, and bring you to deliverance from your self; and it is another thing altogether, to have Michael within you, spending the final night of your soul with you, to bring you into the final deliverance of the Son of God.
Before we continue with this process, we would now like to go to the process of preparation which the Father had undertaken, to make ready the bride He had chosen for His Son, Michael. It was the Father's plan that Michael empty Wayne out, so that Michael could be with the Woman in the wilderness, in Person, to spend the final night of her soul, with her. It is a divine requirement that Michael, the Son of God spend the night with every soul who is ultimately delivered from themselves and consummated with God, for marriage to God doesn't come any other way. Transformation of character doesn't come any other way.
The book of Genesis records a living parable of the Father seeking a bride for His Son in a "far country." when Abraham was well advanced in years, he commissioned his eldest servant to go to a far country to find a bride for his son from among his own people. The Amplified footnote for this historical parable, says, "This chapter is highly illustrative of God the Father, Who sends forth His Holy Spirit to win the consent of the individual soul to become the bride of His Son. Keep these resemblances constantly in mind as you read (Genesis chapter 24) and see how the story unfolds. First meet the Father and note His concern about His Son's bride. Then get acquainted with the Holy Spirit's great, selfless heart, whose one purpose is to win the girl (human soul bride) for His Master's Son. Then meet the Son and note His tenderness as He claims His bride. The longest chapter in Genesis is devoted to this important story."
Hosea prophesies of the very Messianic process to which the parable of Abraham pointed, foretelling the Father Himself sending His Spirit to woo the bride for His Son into the wilderness, so she could become married to her divine Husband.
Behold, I will allure her (make her open, persuade her) and bring her into the wilderness [where she has a retreat prepared for her by God, in which she is to be fed and kept safe for 1,260 days], and I will speak tenderly and to her heart. There I will ... make the Valley of Achor, (valley of troubling, disturbing) [the Time of Jacob's trouble], to be for her a door of hope and expectation. And she shall sing there and respond ... And it shall be in that day, says the Lord that you will call Me Ishi, my Husband ... And I will betroth (marry) you to Me forever; yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. I will even betroth you to Me in stability and in faithfulness, and you shall know, recognize, be acquainted with, appreciate, give heed to, and cherish the Lord ... And I will sow her for Myself anew in the land, and I will have love, pity, and mercy for her who had not obtained love, pity and mercy: and I will say to those who were not My people, You are My people, and they shall say, You are my God! Hosea 2:14-16,19-23 Amplified.
Jeremiah was also given to speak of this Messianic process, between the human bride and the divine Son of God. Here Messiah is referred to as "the Prince," and His bride as "the Virgin" Israel. We quote the reciprocal and interactive parts of this prophesy, which have been fulfilled to the letter in the return of Michael the Son of God, in Person, in the new land. Father drew "the Virgin" from among His professed people, to her wilderness retreat to marry Messiah "the Prince." You will also recognize descriptive details that have marked experiences in your own soul, as Father's Spirit has drawn out your own consent to be the bride of His Son.
I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me as a vital necessity and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity...For, note well, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will release from captivity My people...Thus says the Lord: We have heard a voice of trembling and panic — of terror, and not peace (valley of troubling, disturbing). Ask now and see whether a man can give birth to a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? Why are all faces turned pale? Alas! for that day will be great, so that none will be like it; it will be the time of Jacob's unequaled trouble, but he will be saved out of it. For it will come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts that I will break the oppressor's yoke from your neck, and I will burst your bonds; and strangers will no more make slaves of the people of Israel. But they will serve the Lord their God and David's descendant their King, Whom I will raise up for them...And their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will come from the midst of them. I will cause him to draw near and he will approach Me, for who is he who would have the boldness and would dare on his own initiative to approach Me? says the Lord. Then you will be my people, and I will be your God...In the latter days you shall understand this. Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you. Again I will build you and you will be built, O Virgin Israel (O human soul)!...for I am a Father to Israel (you)...They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion and shall flow together and be radiant with joy over the goodness of the Lord...Set up for yourselves highway markers back to Canaan make for yourselves guideposts...Retrace your steps, O Virgin Israel...For the Lord has created a new thing in the land of Israel; a female (the human bride) shall compass, woo, win and protect a man (Messiah the Prince, Michael the Archangel Son). Jer. 29:11-14; 30:9,21; 31:3-22 Amplified.
The following prophetic passage from Revelation 12 is the Scripture which brought the bride of Michael to the new land, The Woman in the wilderness has been here now with Michael for over two years. She did not know when she first came to her wilderness retreat that she would be with, in Person, and see Him face to face. Michael's work for the Woman is also described here.
AND A great sign, wonder, warning of future events of ominous significance, appeared in heaven: a woman...was pregnant and she cried out in her birth pangs, in the anguish of her delivery...Then another ominous sign, wonder, was seen in heaven: Behold, a huge, fiery-red dragon...And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth. And she brought forth a male Child [Michael, the Son of God appeared from out of the body of the Woman]... And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a retreat prepared for her by God, in which she is to be fed and kept safe for 1,260 days...Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to battle with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought. But they were defeated, and there was no room found for them in heaven any longer...he who is the seducer, deceiver, of all humanity the world over...was forced out and down to the earth...Then I heard a strong, loud, voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come--the salvation and the power and the kingdom, the dominion, the reign, of our God, and the power, the sovereignty, the authority, of His Christ, the Messiah [Michael the Archangel Himself]. Rev. 12:1-10 Amplified.
A prophecy of Ezekiel portends the nature of the Woman's cries during the anguish of her delivery, and the specific purpose for which she was brought into the wilderness.
As I live, says the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out will I be King over you. And I will bring you out from the peoples...and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you and contend with you face to face (in Person, Michael)...And I will cause you to pass under the rod, as the shepherd does his sheep when he counts them, and I will count you as Mine and I will constrain you (draw you tight), and bring you into the covenant (of marriage) to which you are permanently bound. Eze. 20:33-37 Amplified.
Together, these prophetic passages from the Scriptures, which specifically foretold the awesome event of the reappearing of the Son of God for His bride, each reveal specific aspects of the very focused purpose of Father, in bringing the Woman into the wilderness to spend the final night of her soul with His Son.
