Encouragement, The Book Of The Prophet, Hinds’ Feet

Saturday will mark 1 year since God sent me out from Texas to come to this town. This past year has been one of the most difficult of my life and yet also the most rewarding spiritually. Today I asked God to encourage me… and He brought me to a chapter of a book that I had written awhile ago while I was in Texas. It is a chapter of Part 86: The Book Of The Prophet… which will be written and released between May 24th, 2026 and September 29th, 2026. Before I share that chapter with you I want to encourage you. Wherever God has you and whatever He has you doing… trust Him. He IS Faithful. Always and forever Faithful. His faithfulness has no end.

Sometimes I wonder if all this is worth it… this book series… hidden away in solitude and obscurity… leaving all I was and all I knew behind to follow after Him and obey Him…

Today, after I had asked for encouragement… He brought this verse to mind… and I hadn’t seen in it what He showed me before:

“…He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet And makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility]…” – Habakkuk‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Read that a couple times. Ask God to open the eyes of your heart to see what He showed me.

Hinds, mountain goats, jump and leap and dance along the highest and steepest cliff faces with all grace and ease. They are steady and sure.

God has made my feet like hinds’ feet steady and sure. God has made me walk forward with spiritual confidence on MY high places of challenge and responsibility (my unique calling on this earth, the good works God prepared for me to accomplish in Him long ago).

Consider all this… and so… now I share the first chapter of Part 86: The Book Of The Prophet with you:


Chapter 1 – The Mountaintop Vision

            “Come!” I heard behind me and so I turned to face the voice that called me. The moment I had turned a bright light flooded over my whole being and I fell to my knees. There before me stood a man in radiant clothes. I bowed my head before the shimmering glory that poured from Him. “Come.” He said again to me. His voice the sound of many waters.

            I rose from the ground and walked toward Him. As I approached, I saw that my clothes had transformed and now glowed, reflecting the radiance of the One I approached. He stretched out a hand to me. I reached out and took His hand in mine, it felt warm and full of life.

“Come.” He said, turning and leading me up the hill behind Him. Hand in hand He led me to the top of the hill where we stopped together and looked out over the world. The world was dark and quiet. The sun had not yet risen in the sky over the world. The stars stretched out like a blanket above us, where they looked down on the world with us.

We stood there looking out over the world for a very long time. Days passed. Yes, the sun rose and set and rose and set. I waited. His presence was the very aspect of peace and there was no hurry in Him here.

“Do you See what I See?” He asked me gently.

I thought about His question and knew that surely, I did not see what He saw. I saw the darkness, then the light, then the darkness. I saw the sun rise and fall. I saw darkness swallow the world and then the brilliant light of the sun rise to conquer the darkness again. Over and over and we watched the world, that’s what I saw. I saw the cycles.

“I don’t see what you see.” I replied quietly.

“Look deeper, use those eyes I’ve given you.” He said, looking in my direction with a smile. “Use that gift you’ve rarely used.”

His words stung with the truth of them. I had not used my gifts often. Up until this point I’d tried to run from my gifts. They were too great to be used and I did not understand them. I had tried to run from Him for years and years to get away from Him and these gifts of His. But He had broken in, He had pulled me out of all that running. He had swept in and rescued me from myself. And now here I stood, four years later, on this hill looking out with eyes that I’ve always had but rarely used. Vision. That’s what I’d call it, but it’s so much more, this gift. Prophet. That’s what I was, and a seer. Yes, that too. Prophet and seer, my name reflected this now on earth.

I thought of myself sitting in my office chair back far on earth. I wore my blue light glasses, and my legs were crossed beneath me. I sat at a black desk typing away on a laptop. And yes, I had seen that this moment would come. Prophet. Yes. Seer. Yes.

Suddenly the Spirit consumed me again and the vision returned. I returned to the mountaintop with my King… with Jesus… looking out together over the face of the whole world.

“Look deeper.” He said again when I returned.

“Ok,” I answered.

I took a breath and looked out over the world. I looked past the light and past the darkness. I looked beyond time and looked even further past even time’s end. I looked to the beginning and the end. I saw all of time in a moment. Driven by the power of the Holy Spirit I saw with one moment every moment. All were His moments. From the beginning all the way to the end. Every single moment was His. I saw Him. He consumed time… stretched out in all eternity. The vision burned in me and I felt my physical body struggling under the glory of the sight. I suddenly felt His hand on my shoulder, and I felt strength filling me. LOOK DEEPER. He said without speaking. I felt His command. And so, I looked deeper.

I saw waves crashing on the shore… and then I was flung from the mountaintop into time beyond time. And I stood in eternity itself… in the heaven to come. I was standing on another hilltop. This one overlooked a vast city of brilliant light. Everywhere I looked I saw people moving about. There was so much light everywhere, it seemed to be in and through everything. Eternity was bright.

To my right a man approached me and smiled. He looked unique. Human words fail me in describing him. “Hello,” He said, “Welcome traveler!” I heard his words inside me. They vibrated in me. I heard the warmth of them and saw the sounds they made. I felt his love and kindness as if I had been splashed with it. Although His mouth never moved, I heard His words nonetheless.

“What am I doing here?” I asked him.

“What are you doing here?” He asked. “Looks as though you’re not fully here yet.”

“I was, um, sent here.” I replied. “I’m a prophet… um… I’m a seer on earth.”

“Ah,” he smiled, “the sight hu? Well don’t worry, He sent me here to find you. I’m Abraham.”

“Abraham… like THE ABRAHAM?” I asked excitedly.

He let out a laugh, “No, No, just a normal Abraham. The Abraham you’re talking about is over there.” He replied pointing out toward the golden city in the distance. “So, why did He send you here?”

I thought for a moment as I took in the brilliant landscape around us. The bright green trees and grass of the hillside. The near perfect brown of the bark of the trees. It was as if everything was perfect, perfectly beautiful. I replied, “I don’t really know yet. I haven’t used my sight in a long time. I keep coming in and out. Feels like I’m being held inside my gift, like I’m not quite use to using it again.”

“That makes sense.” He said, “Well come along then… let’s take a walk and talk a bit while you get your grounding.”

We started to walk down the hill and across the long plain below. Everywhere there was life and people. Everyone was smiling, talking, enjoying each other. We walked for a while silently as I just took everything in. Then I asked, “Why is this so hard for me?”

He thought for a moment then replied, “You’ve been fighting this your whole life. Four years is such a short time back into the Spirit. He’s been patient you know. Waiting for you to be ready for all He has for you.”

“But I don’t feel I’ll ever be ready. Mostly it doesn’t even make sense. Writing about a vision I’m seeing as I write. You know… it just feels so weird.” I explained. “To be sitting on earth but walking here with you. How is this possible, and yes, I know and believe and all that. But you know… doubt and such.” I let my voice trail off.

I did believe. I had seen so many visions over the course of my life. I could see things that others couldn’t. That’s always been my reality since I was a kid… since I had my first thoughts. I always thought that everyone could see. News to me to learn that they couldn’t. I still can’t understand why I’m different.

I looked over at my walking companion and knew he could clearly hear all my thoughts. Here, in heaven, words and thoughts, expression, was all the same. Nothing was hidden and nothing needed to be hidden.

“Maybe doubt isn’t your problem.” He offered. “Maybe it’s just plain old fear. You’ve been different in many ways your whole life. You’ve been rejected so much and there is so much pain still in your heart that hasn’t been healed… maybe all of this is why He wants you to see.”

I knew he was right. “Thank you.” I said, “What now?”

“He has something for you to see and share. There is no other reason for these gifts He’s given you. They aren’t for you. They are for others. For others to see what you see.” Abraham explained.

“I know. I think I’m more ready now than I’ve ever been. Ready to dive into the deep end as they say. You know I’ve always known the cost of this gift. Everything. I’ve known that since I was a kid.”

“He will lead you in this. He leads everyone in everything. That’s just who He is. I look forward to meeting you when you arrive, and I’m glad we’ve had the chance to chat so that I could offer you a bit of encouragement.” With that He gave me a big, warm hug full of life and love. “Farewell friend. I will see you again sooner than you’d think.”

And with that I was back on the mountaintop overlooking the world with Jesus. I looked over at Him and fell at His feet. “Please, Jesus, help me with this. Help me understand and know how to walk in this.” He reached down and pulled me to my feet. He pointed out across the world below us. “Look now… I’m going to show you many things. You will write these visions down and then others will find their way to them. I’ll speak through them and encourage others in the way. Therefore, you have this gift. Therefore, you are who you are in me.” His words filled me with hope and life. There was a future ahead of me and I knew that somehow my life was about to change forever.

The vision faded and I returned to my desk in the trailer in the middle of Texas. There is only one thing to do now… wait for the next vision to come and to see. I thanked God for all He had done in me and through me and I offered Him myself again to Him completely.
