If mankind could realize how unimportant the color of one’s skin is or their size, weight, nationality, education, political orientation and that there is but one God and one church, then you will be able to understand what path you should be walking on thru life.
When Fred Blom was eleven years old, he was in a coma for six days after his appendix ruptured and poisoned his system. As he looked down at himself lying in a bed, he heard a voice call to him to come forth. He went to the voice and ended up in a beautiful place but totally not fitting in his mind.
During his time there, he was given an opportunity to ask anything he wanted. After much thought and looking around, he thought he had something he could ask for. He went over to a great tree and hopped up on a low branch.
“Great One, may I request something?” Fred asked.
“As it was offered!” Messenger replied.
“When I leave this place, give me something I can share some day with others and keep this for my knowledge.”
Suddenly there appeared a great vessel in front of him. It was as large as a person and as clear as polished glass.
“This represents a soul,” Messenger instructed. “When you accept the King of Light, Jesus Christ, as your Savior, it becomes brilliant.”
Suddenly a great brilliance filled the vessel. He heard music! He hopped off the branch and tried to look closer. It was incredible! Mankind chooses sin! A small swirl of vapor appeared above the vessel. It was dark! It went into the vessel and gradually turned the vessel black as ink.
“Mankind liked sin and continued to darken their soul even unto death,” Messenger instructed. “Mankind looks upon all of the wrong things and misses what is important. Mankind looks at each other in sin, and sin judges—rich or poor, big or small, knowledgeable or not, red or yellow, black or white.”
Suddenly, with a great burst, the vessel was brilliant again. “Then there would be those that call out for salvation from sin!” Messenger boomed! The King of Light, who sits on the right hand of the Ancient One, has all things in his hands forever! Be of this light and live! Your soul will be of brilliance! Look beyond what your body sees!
Fred is just another hard working person, which has gone through life as the majority of folks have. Paying bills and balancing budgets! So what is the big differences, that should want me to buy a book to learn something? The book is to have the same title, but only to add additional volumes. Love letters to the world? It’s the listening for the Holy Spirit to tug, compel and lead him to what’s important! If it is not confirmed in prayer, revelation or the word of God, it’s no good!
Let’s look at a brief showing of the character of Fred:
A farmer visits the farm he is living on and raises his hands to the sky and says, “What a beautiful day God has made! The four year old repeats this same words and act. The farmer pats him on the head and replies, “You make my day! The family then moves to the far reaches of the deep woods of Northern Minnesota.
For the next four years Fred wonders who God is. He goes about his life on good days and bad, lifting his hands to the sky and stating the phrase, “What a beautiful day God has made! The parents or relatives didn’t believe in God, so he was limited to not saying this around them. So it was a common thing to say this in the edge of the woods or tall grasses.
At eight years old he was punished for something he didn’t do. It ended in a bloody, broken nose. So staying outside, sitting on his favorite stump was his only choice. At 10:00 PM he decides to run away. He could do any kind of work he thought. So the Collie dog and Fred went walking down the long lane thru the woods. After a half mile there was something large guarding the lane. “Be gone with you and out of my way, Fred shouted! When Fred continued, the Collie dog grabbed the cuff of his jeans and braced herself with force. No running away today. A after a short moment of returning to the yard, there was a musical sound, that had to be confirmed with his Collie dog, Lady, who was on the stoop of the house. After another short moment, there was a loud voice saying, “I am messenger! In three days one shall be sent to guide you! This was repeated three times, as Fred hugged the ground in fear. In three days, Pastor Vernon Peterson showed up! The next four years were a blessing! Pastor Peterson had prayed for three days as how he could find more people for Jesus. An Assembly of God minister devoted to driving 60 mile each Sunday to help Fred and also special events. Praise God, that incredible! So the path begins!
Being protected from life ending events, many, many times! The answering of prayers, which are miraculous! Seeing things that only God can show! One cannot turn away from the over whelming truth! Giving, when there is nothing to give! Relying on the hand of God to provide! He cannot turn aside from the path he is on!
