About the Prophet
I was born in 1955, in Wainwright, into a christian family with two brothers and one sister. My dad was an accountant. He was confined to a wheelchair because of polio when he was young. When I was eleven we found out he had cancer. He died within a few months.
We went to a Gospel Mission church when I was young. They did not believe in prophets, apostles, or tongues. As I grew up we changed churches for various reasons. We always seemed to be changing churches every few years: Nazarene, Pentecostal (PAOC), Salvation Army, Evangelical Free. At least the Pentecostals believed in tongues.
When I was 10 or 12 I began to have some knowledge in my spirit that I was called to be something special for the Lord. But I did not understand, at that time, how I just knew this inside of me. I had no experience in the Holy Spirit revealing things to me at that time.
I went through a rebellion in my teens. I did not do anything “wrong” as many did. But I had the idea that if I rebelled against the Lord and did not do anything such as drinking or smoking, it would be okay. I just didn’t want to obey.
I was under conviction for this rebellion. Once, in a service I went forward to accept the Lord just to get rid of the conviction I was under. I didn’t mean it, and I did not fool God for one minute!
In a short lived revival that went through Wainwright when I was turning 18 I made a commitment to serve the Lord no matter what. This time I meant it. It gave me much peace in my heart and a renewed interest in studying the Bible.
But it was in that study time that I began to realize that many of the churches I had gone to did not believe everything in scripture. This started a full time Bible study in private. The Holy Spirit and the Bible were my only teachers.
It was at about this time that I was shown by the Lord my calling. It did not happen in a christian or even a religious setting. I was at the Wainwright Stampede. They had rides, stampede, and of course, carnival games.
I was walking around looking at the various games. I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to watch a specific game, so I did. This particular game had a wheel which they would spin, and a mouse would come out of the hole in the centre, and because of the spinning wheel, would run to the outside and into one of the many holes there. These outside holes were numbered from 1 to 35 (or some such number; I can’t remember how high the numbers went).
As I watched, I knew in my spirit that the Lord would give me the first, third, and fifth numbers out of the next five games. Of course, I did not gamble but just watched. The Lord gave me a number, and yes, it was the correct one. The next game He gave me nothing. The third He also gave me a number, and it was right. And so on through the fifth game, just as He had said.
I left the area and went for a long walk. During this time the Holy Spirit began to speak to me about my call to the prophetic office. I knew very little about it at that time, but the sign that the Lord had given me was clear: He had called me to the prophetic.
Even though the Lord did not give me prophecy or any type of public revelation at that time, He did talk to me and teach me about the commitment and sacrifice of my call. I would occasionally receive dreams concerning my personal life, but nothing the Lord wanted me to give in public.
It was in 1985 or 86 that the Lord got me interested in computers. This interest came directly from Him, not me. I knew then that He would use them to send prophecies He gave me to the world, but I could not understand how at that time. Telecommunication (as it was called then), was at a speed of 1200 baud (or bps), and sometimes as slow as 300 baud. At that speed anyone could read it faster than it came onto your screen! And computers were not interconnected as they are now.
As the speed increased the Lord directed me to place prophecies of others (still none through me) onto a BBS (computer bulletin board service). Other computers could then phone mine and read or download them. I called it “The Full Gospel BBS.” It was not very successful, and I shut it down. I started it up about a year later under the name The Prophetic Word BBS. A little more successful, but not much.
At that time CompuServe was getting popular, and I started an account there. Then the Lord began giving me prophecies and I would place them as a file in the religious section from time to time. This would have been about 1993 or 94.
In about the same time with the Lord’s instruction I started looking into the idea of the internet. At that time it was totally command driven. No such thing as a web site, but using special commands from the keyboard you could send email. While I did not go into the internet at that time, I kept as eye on it as I knew the Lord wanted me to go in that direction.
It was in 1996 AGT (now known as Telus) gave Wainwright local internet access. It was in May of that year I started The Prophetic Word web page. All of this was with the clear direction of the Lord (from the beginning of my first computer purchase and onward). I knew from the beginning that I would use it to circulate the prophecies that He was to give me.
I have never married and have worked in and around Wainwright all my life. Most of it as a concrete finisher for a local construction firm. But I have also worked in the oilfield as a crane operator and driven truck.
