What was your inspiration for writing A Book of Remembrance: The Way of Holiness?
All my life I have searched for the knowledge of the I AM THAT I AM as absolute truth. In 1977, these truths were revealed and manifested themselves to me this way. The spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my mouth. And he said unto me son of man, stand upon thy feet and I will speak unto thee. And the word of the Lord came unto me saying. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. And I said who art thou Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutes. But rise and stand upon thy feet; for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen,and of those in the which I will appear unto thee. Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel saying, write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
What is the most important thing you hope the book will accomplish?
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you, the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.

Why do you consider continued spiritual learning important?
Because all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
How does writing fulfill your life?
It allows me to write on paper what is being said in the spirit so if any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
How does reading fulfill your life?
It brings me to revelational truths so I can fulfill know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
What affirmations do you repeat to yourself that contribute to your success?
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Chris Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man will hear my voice,and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
NOTHING, because who I was has made me who I AM.
