This is a True Story. God has given me a special gift of helping other people spiritually.

God has given me a gift by linking me spiritually to certain people to pray for and to help carry a burden that might be too heavy for them to carry alone. Sometimes I even feel the same pain they do when they are hurting physically or just need a spiritual blessing. I’ll admit when this first happened to me I didn’t understand and it scared the daylights out of me. As I grew stronger in the Lord I began to recognize it for what it was. A TRUE BLESSING FROM GOD.

I came to know Bro. Howard by this spiritual link. Bro. Howard is a special friend in Christ to me. I’ve never seen the man in person, but through this spiritual link I have seen him twice and can tell you exactly what he looks like physically. Bro. Howards a true man of God. God has given him a great ministry. He is an Evangelist and a great preacher. For the last several months this man of God has had every infliction known to man. Most men would have crumbled under the load, but not him. He is like the energizer bunny he just keeps going and going. Several days ago he went to the doctor for a MRI and the doctor told him that on top of everything else they had found two tumors on the bone in his leg and they could be cancer. He was devastated. He went home, locked himself in the house and wrestled with the devil the rest of the day. Through this spiritual link that I spoke about earlier I knew he was hurting bad, emotionally as well as physically.
Now, if I had a question and my earthly father could answer it I would go to him and ask him what I wanted to know. My heavenly Father says in His word to come boldly before the throne of God and I am just stubborn enough to take Him at His word. I knew where the pain was but I wanted to know why this man of God was constantly being beaten down. So I went to God and began to petition Him as to why so much was happening to him. God gave me an answer in the form of a vision....
I saw Bro. Howard and the Lord standing together talking and the area around them was not a pretty place. There was no grass and no trees and litter was strewn everywhere the eye could see. The place was ugly, nasty and dirty. Bro Howard's appearance was the same. His clothes were dirty and his hair was unkempt. (Believe me this is not his usual attire.) To one side of them there was a very large furnace and the flames of the fire were leaping high. The first words I heard the Lord say to him was, "You have to walk with Me through the furnace." (The Lord did not tell him to go alone but that He would walk with him.)
The Lord reached out His hand and Bro. Howard  never said a word, but took the Lord’s hand and stepped into the furnace with Him. The flames leaped all around them, but still the Lord held his hand. The Lord’s appearance never changed, but Bro Howard began to melt. Chunks of litter and debris began to fall from him. Each piece that fell had the name of a different infirmity upon it. I watched as Bro. Howard changed right before my eyes. He melted right down to the very soul. Everything was cast off until there was nothing left. He was translucent with an inner glow. Everything from his outer self was gone. When everything was gone of his old self he became dressed in the whitest clothes I’ve ever seen. When he was fully clothed in white the Lord opened the door and they stepped out onto the ground again. When they stepped out of that furnace Bro Howard was the most beautiful person I have ever seen in this world. His clothes were spotless white and so was his hair. The smile on his face was lit from an inner glow that was pure love. They then were standing on a knoll. The little hill was in the center of a large field. As far as the eyes could see there were sheep in this field. There were hundreds and hundreds of sheep. Some of the sheep were white and some were black. There were more black sheep than white. The Lord was standing beside Bro. Howard and He never moved from the place where they were standing.
The Lord spread His hand in a wide arch, palm up and said to Bro. Howard "this is my sheep will you feed them?"
Bro. Howard said, "O’ Lord there are so many of them!"
Once again the Lord said, "Howard, will you feed them?"
Bro. Howard nodded and said, "Lord I'll do anything you want me to do and I’ll go anywhere you want me to go."
"Just feed my sheep that’s all I ask." Said the Lord, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. You pick up those black sheep and bring them to me and I’ll take care of them."
Bro Howard turned and picked up a black sheep and handed it to the Lord. The Lord took the sheep and began to gently touch and stroke it. As He did the black wool fell from the sheep and he became white as snow. Bro. Howard picked up black sheep after black sheep and handed them to the Lord. The Lord handled each one of them in the same soft gentle manner and each one of the sheep became spotless white. As each was taken and gently cared for another one would pushed into its place. Even though sheep after sheep was cared for, the field never emptied. There would be another one to take its place.
When this vision ended and the Lord allowed me to return unto my usual self, I knew He was going to give Bro. Howard  his healing. There were just too many of those little black sheep who needed the Lord’s gentle touch to turn their life around. Miracles happen everyday and I know one happened to Howard when he stepped out of that furnace in spotless white clothing. I just praise the Lord that he allowed "ME" to be the vessel He used to witness this wonderful heavenly phenomenon. I stand in awe and feel so humble and unworthy as this passes from me, but even as I think that, I hear that still small voice that can only belong to God. "I made you worthy when I died on the cross for you." I certainly can’t argue with that. My heart's desire is that some day I can get so close to God that I can be used by Him to bless His people, in a wonderful and miraculous way. I pray that anybody that reads this gets as big a blessing from reading it as I did from seeing it. May God bless the reader.
