I’m writing this episode for two reasons. First, I want to bridge the vast chasm between those who come from an intellectual and well educated background like myself and all the extremely spiritual matters I’ve discussed so far. Second, I want to show you how hard it has been for me to survive this very long process of “not using my brain” just to get to the long awaited invention business that God has been showing me in dreams since 2014. For those who have a hard time following my story up to this point due to all the very heavily spiritual aspects, I hope this episode will help you to see that I really am much more logical and rational than some of this has potentially made me appear.

When Intellect Reaches It’s Limit

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Proverbs 25:2 (KJV)

About 20 years ago, I became a FAA licensed Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). In the process of getting that 5th pilot certification that I have held, I had to learn a little about how to be a teacher. One of the basic principles of teaching is that, when you are introducing new material to a student, it is best if you can start with something they are already familiar with and use that to bridge the gap into the unfamiliar subject. In various ways throughout this series, I have tried to do a little of that but now I want to specifically go after those who are 100% unfamiliar with any of the spiritual matters I’ve dealt with to this point.

During the last 10 years since God began slowly revealing to me what my real purpose was in life, I have had to deal with a very big problem of “not using my brain”. As I’ve said before, I graduated from the Air Force Academy with a science degree and a ton of core engineering classes. I then spent half my 20-year Air Force career in the intelligence field where I dealt with very technical matters involving manned and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft (UAVs). I was trained in all aspects of “intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance” (ISR) and I worked in a very large intelligence operations organization where massive amounts of data were analyzed for live missions being flown over Iraq and Afghanistan.

Technology was my thing and I was very much an “analytical thinker” who believed almost everything should be done in a logical and rational way. Adding to the above, I had been flying small airplanes since I was 16 years old and I had my instrument, commercial, multi-engine ratings plus eventually, the CFI. At no time did I believe I should ever stop using my brain and dump all those technical skills “in the trash”.

Then came 2015, when God used circumstances to push me out of that Air Force career and into a very strange realm of the supernatural (which I had been falsely programmed into not believing by my past church upbringing). As I’ve said before, it slowly became obvious to me that I was not supposed to continue in any other jobs that I would have been well qualified for based on my career experience. And that is where the problems came in.

Over the next several years, rather than continue with the skills I had acquired, God had a very different plan for me. I had to “get a new degree” and learn the very strange and foreign realm of the supernatural and how God’s invisible, spiritual kingdom operated. In some ways, it was very interesting but it also posed an extreme challenge for me in that I was learning about things I had never seen work at any time in my life. It really felt like I was spending all my time learning something that could have just as easily been total fiction. And I was making no money and using up what I had left.

A Humbling Death & Rebirth

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:3 (KJV)

I have used this description before several times but, if you ever saw the 2016 Marvel movie, “Doctor Strange“, then you saw a near-perfect illustration of me. In the movie, Stephen Strange started out as a very intellectual and highly skilled surgeon. He was so good at what he did that he became overtaken by pride which, ultimately blinded him into thinking he knew everything. When he (like me) was forced by circumstances to leave the field he was so good at, he found himself on a path that led him directly into the thing he refused to believe. Exactly as it was for me.

When Stephen was finally confronted with the reality and proof of the supernatural, he initially found it impossible to learn. Many times he became very frustrated with the process and saw little results. Then, in one scene, he was force to either make it work or die of hypothermia on the top of a far away freezing cold mountain. Although I was not instantly transported through a portal and left there to get myself back on my own, I was very deliberately pushed into a “sink or swim” situation when I left the Air Force.

I won’t repeat this part of my story but, I suddenly realized I had ZERO faith or Biblical knowledge of the most critical elements of the Christian beliefs. Just as Doctor Strange ended up spending many hours in the library learning all about the “mystical arts”, I found myself spending many hours every day learning as much as I could about what I should have already been taught in 40+ years of church.

Just as Stephen Strange began to learn how to use supernatural powers, God began showing me my own “marvel” abilities and the greater structure of the Kingdom of God within which they operate. By the time we get to the Marvel movie “Endgame“, we learn that Stephen was originally chosen to be the best of the best, the “sorcerer supreme”. He did eventually reach this level by marrying two realms: his intellect and the supernatural. In Christian terms, we could say that God created him from the beginning to be the first of a new kind (a prototype).

But, in order for Doctor Strange to become what he was purposed for, he had to go through a personal death and rebirth type of experience. He had to die to all his pride and start over from zero in a very foreign realm. Thus, the expert became the kindergartener. That is exactly as the Bible says and it is what God did with me. I had to die to all my intellectual rationalizations and pride and start from zero. To say this was very difficult is a huge understatement. If you’ve never seen that Marvel movie, let me say it again – it was a perfect depiction of what it was like for me.

Modern Day Parallels

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Luke 18:17 (KJV)

God has a funny way of using secular movies to illustrate many Biblical truths. When I first saw that 2016 movie “Doctor Strange”, it was like something turned on in me and I began to see what God was doing. I started to realize that, although I had felt like I threw my brain in the trash by not continuing in my past career, God had a much bigger plan in mind. And, just like Stephen Strange, God had a plan to use that technical nature He put into me for a very big assignment within the real purpose He had created me for.

God is the one who created people with various abilities. Some with intellectual leanings, others with sports abilities, others with artistic or musical talents, and much more. I learned a new parallel that relates to all this several years ago. It’s that God designed us exactly like various types of cars. Some are only made to hold 2 people and go very fast. Others can carry 6 passengers and a large amount of baggage. Some can go off-road while others are designed to be very economical. Neither of these cars can serve the purpose that the others were intended for. A Porsche 911 cannot do what a Toyota Sequoia can (and vice versa).

God made each of us in our own unique way because, the purpose He intended us for is likewise very unique and no one else can do what we were made for. A Jeep should not say to a Ferrari, “I cannot go that fast”. A Ford Mustang should not say to the Tesla Cyber Truck, “I cannot carry all that weight”. Each of us has a purpose and God knows how to bring us around in a strange and illogical path that leads us right to the fulfillment of our true purpose.

In case you’re wondering about the thing I’ve been assigned to. Yes, as I’ve explained in previous episodes and blogs, God did eventually reveal to me the technical design for an energy technology invention that totally defies modern day “science” and will completely change the way we use and produce electricity. Flying cars will be normal as will light speed space travel. That is what He has been showing me in dreams since 2014.

So therefore, even though I felt like I had dumped my brain in the trash for several years, God brought it all around again in a way I never saw coming. Yes, I will be using my brain plus all the supernatural marvelic abilities He has been showing me in countless dreams. I’m a bit like the combination of the Marvel characters Stephen Strange and Tony Stark all in one. Let’s talk more about that in an upcoming episode.
