234, 444, testimony

Doves:

First of all, I am NOT very good at even discerning the will of
God for myself, therefore, what I say to you might just be taken
with some grain of salt.  But then again, YOU decide...

I have been helping a friend of mine, Bobby Lofton, to sell some
of his custom longbows.  Earlier this week, I went by to see him
and he had his feet propped up in his living room.  His wife said
he wouldn't be making any more bows for a while...his doctor
said he had to stay off his feet for 3 weeks or he was in danger of
loosing one of them through diabetes.  It's almost like God "MAY"
be saying to me and him..calm down and think about things AND
POSSIBLY FOR ME TO LOOK AT THE MONTH OF APRIL
WHICH WILL ONLY LAST 3 MORE WEEKS!!!

Anyway, back in the late 70's I got saved.  I met Bobby about that
time and witnessed pretty heavily to him.  One day he was visiting
me and a crop duster, which my father owned, had crashed with
a FULL load of chemical defoliant AND about 52 gallons of fuel.
It was a HUGE miracle that the pilot wasn't killed but the plane
sputtered after take-off and, at about 100 yards up, FELL from the
sky.  The young pilot continued to try to crank the engine and it
may have caught back up JUST BEFORE IT WENT THROUGH
THE ROOF OF THE COMPRESS (a place where bales of cotton
are pressed more tightly together).  MIRACULOUSLY, the wings
caught the beams of the building causing what is known as progressive
deterioration of the wings and, thus, slowing the impact considerably
enough so that the pilot was not knocked out or killed.

As he sat in the plane on the concrete floor of the compress, the
young pilot opened the cockpit and found he couldn't move.  Then
he remembered to unbutton his seat belt and, since he was almost
upside down, when he pushed the seat belt button he fell out of the plane
and rolled just as it caught fire.

Anyway, I told my friend, Bobby, that SURELY the Lord had His Hand in
saving this man but my friend wanted to argue - he was an agnostic.

About a year ago, Bobby had some congestive heart failure (which kills
many people) and while in the hospital asked God to reveal Himself
to him if He was real.  Bobby fell asleep in his chair in the hospital and
dreamed of several characters from the Bible (which he named but, that
in itself, is a miracle because he doesn't read the Bible).  They were
standing beside an open grave inside of which was a stone image at the
bottom.  I believe he said that represented Jesus.  When he woke up,
ALL of his pain was gone and he was soaking wet.  He told me that he
started to tell the doctor about this but didn't.  I may be the only person
that he told.  Pray for Bobby to come to believe!!!

Anyway...what if...

the 2...3...4 simply means February, March, and April - the 2nd, 3rd, and
4th months of '04.

Here's something else I checked on...

In the Book of Revelation, THE LETTERS TO THE CHURCHES ARE
ALL WRITTEN IN CHAPTERS 2 AND 3 (final 3 mentioned below)!!!!

   Revelation 3
   1"To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
   These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the
   seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive,
   but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to
   die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God........
   .........................................
   6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

   7"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
   These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David.
   What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
   8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no
   one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my
   word and have not denied my name.....................
   .......................................
   13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

   14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
   These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of
   God's creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish
   you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm--neither
   hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth................
   .....................................
   22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

At the beginning of CHAPTER 4, we know what happens!!!

   Revelation 4
   1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in
   heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet
   said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."

One more thing...

I have told you about the VERY STRONG presence of the Lord that was
on me as I left SC back in May, 2003 when I saw a license plate M 444.
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2004/calvinm25.htm
What if that meant:  Marriage, 4th month, 4th year (of the 2000's) AND
Revelation 4!!!!

Just thought I'd mention these things.

GOD BLESS,

Calvin

P.S.

Was it an "accident" that I went into fivedoves and read CAPS post
just after telling of / sending off the post of Bobby's dream where he
saw a "stone" image (that he said represented Jesus) inside an open
grave!!!!???  Could this POSSIBLY REPRESENT SOMETHING ABOUT
EASTER!!!!

CAPS (7 Apr 2004)
"Just WHAT is the Rapture/ Solomon's Temple"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2004/caps47.htm

    The church that mankind is building is visible. The church that
   the Christ is building is invisible, but it is the powerful and all-inclusive
   one! The church that men build is earthly and seeks physical, material
   blessings; but the church that the Christ births out of His life dwells
   in heavenly places and is blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ
   Jesus! Lively stones, living stones, stones of another world, are
   being daily added to this church and it is growing and becoming more
   powerful in the Spirit with each passing day. The church is the miracle
   of Christ's resurrection life appearing again in a people upon the earth!
   At just the right time, at God's appointed time, this living church will be
   made known to all men everywhere, and begin to openly work to bring
   the whole of creation into the fullness of God. Hallelujah!
