I know I wasn't. Since everyone I knew didn't hear God's voice, I assumed this was normal. But I couldn't get rid of yearning for God that was eating me up inside. I was bone dry in my spirit. Surely there was more to this Christian life than this death-valley existence! If only He would talk to me when I prayed to Him! Then I would have life. I would have strength, happiness, and purpose.

I remember that time very well, just as if it were yesterday. My mother and I regularly attended a local church. Oddly enough at about that same time frame my mother also hit a dry period in her walk with Lord.

During this desert-like spiritual phase in my life, I recall making one commitment and two requests of God. The commitment was to remain faithful to Him all my life no matter what happened. The first request was for God to lead me out of this dry life and into a rich, abundant life with him. The second request was for Him to enable me to hear Him speaking to me.

When I was that bold to ask God to speak to me audibly throughout my life, I knew enough theology so that my request had to always glorify God. I was confident that God would speak to me audibly and that it would benefit me in His eyes. Whether that was sufficient to justify granting my request, I wasn't sure. So I prayed that somehow others would benefit by God's granting my request to hear Him speak audibly to me. I told Him that I had no idea how it could, but He knew. So He should go ahead and work it out so that I get my request and others would be blessed.

Not long afterwards God graciously delivered my mom and I out of that spiritual wasteland. Over time I grew closer to God. Without my really being aware of it, He began to speak to me. Initially it was a general leading, almost like intuition. Then came...

THE DAY GOD SPOKE TO ME!!!

From 1978 to 1980 I used to listen to radio station KEZY AM 1190. One reason I listened to it was for music, and other reason was for a particular Dee Jay. That Dee Jay was Strawberry Jan. One day while listening to her, God distinctly spoke to me. He spoke directly to my spirit. He told me to immediately begin praying for her. She was in great danger. That I was to pray for her often. So I did pray for her often.

About 15 years later I met real Strawberry Jan. Her name is Jan Marie Tamburelli. She was at a church in Orange County, California, giving her testimony. It turns out that when I was told to pray for her, she was falling away from God just as her professional career was taking off. Then in 1984, about four to six years after God told me to pray for her, she was nearly killed in an automobile accident! To read rest of her amazing testimony, you will have to pick up a copy of my book, HOW TO HEAR AND DISCERN THE VOICE OF GOD.

Can you imagine what kind of punishment I would have suffered this side of eternity for my wilful disobedience to His command? What kind of testimony would I have to share with her or you if I had disobeyed God's words to me? All I could say in hindsight is that I was just "waiting on Lord" to figure out whether I heard His voice or someone else's voice. I could also give her and you some story about my having proper theology and being cautious above all else, that these were more important to me. I can guarantee you after having met Jan Marie, learning what she was going through at time God spoke to me, and my not praying for her then, such a decision would have brought me great regret rest of my life that I would suffer nearly daily.

What do you think would have happened to Jan Marie Tamburelli if I disobeyed God by not praying for her often? Would she have died? Or would she have certain injuries now that she doesn't have? Perhaps she would have rejected love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

Ultimately it is your choice what kind of a world you want to live in by either hearing and obeying God's voice, or not hearing Him at all. What we do, fail to do, and our words certainly influence not only people we deal with directly, but also many others that are indirectly connected. Perhaps best non-biblical proof of what I am saying is movie It's A Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart. So with that movie in your mind, let me ask you which village do you want to live in; Bedford Falls or Potterville? Bedford Falls is city with men and women who choose to hear God's voice and obey His every word. While Potterville is filled with Christians who have chosen to never hear God's voice, and only talk at Him in prayer. Though they are saved, their fruit of Spirit is minimal.

Over course of my life God has taught me a lot about having a deeper relationship with Him. About hearing his voice in various ways. I believe I have a right to speak with authority about this, because I have proved everything I say by my own experience. Every exercise in my book I have done or am still doing. So you see, I don't ask you to do anything that I don't do.

The atmosphere surrounding earth is still a matter of special interest for scientific research. Some physicists have discovered and suggest that we are living within a field of energy that surrounds and envelops earth, like an invisible halo. Through this are shot electrical charges. It appears that not only does this energy charge batteries of our mind, body and soul it also helps us to be successful. Einstein stated that to physicist this field is as real as chair you are sitting on.

Man has suddenly re-awakened to fact that he is part of a vast cosmos, and that we are not just a speck of dust on a chunk of matter, revolving around sun. With this new dawn and with cosmic realization our questioning mind will find answers to some of mans most demanding questions. One of most persistent conceptions in history of human thinking has been idea that there is a definable relationship between individual and there destiny. This is a very old idea and it crops up in records of every known civilization and culture.

At end of World War 2 a wave of discontent, particularly affecting young, swept over world. It was suddenly apparent that in eternal quest for meaningful identity many of old religions and philosophies completely broken down and people started to look for other faiths. The most popular one was a spiritual belief.

Because mediumship possesses a charm and an everlasting attraction, this is one reason why it is frowned upon throughout different religions. Today however, with development of modern physics, people’s views are starting to change. Many scientists are studying quite seriously possibility of a connection between man and cosmic environment. Whilst scientists remain sceptical, it is now becoming clear that in certain areas they are becoming more open minded.

Over years psychic mediums have been able to help people with their development, their losses and have helped many to discovery a new way of life. A medium has touched every area of life by having ability to see and hear beyond this world and into next.
