When I Worked At Boeing Computer Support Services, (BCSS), That Worked Within A
Company Called United Space Boosters, Inc, (USBI), Whom I Also Used To Be
Employed With, And I Transitioned From USBI To Boeing Through Faith, (But That’s
A Story For Another Time). I Was In Charge Of Teaching “Email” As “Email” Was
Brand-New Back Then, And I Would Have Large Classes Of 150 People 4-5 Times A Day To Go
Over How To Send or Receive “Email” In The Auditorium, And Because Of That I Had Everybody In The Entire
Company’s Email Address.
However, The Constant Chatter At The Water Cooler Was That There Was Going To
Be Large Lay-Offs And Fear Was Running Rampant. Often We Would See Two
Security Guards Walk Up To Someone’s Desk And Tell Them They Had Been Laid Off.
It Was The Worst Way Possible To Lay Someone Off.
And So Fear Was In Our Company As Well. The Constant Buzz Within Our
Company Was That They
Were Going To Cut Our Budget By 10%. There Had Been Another Employee That
Also Worked For BCSS, And He Taught Me A Lot Of Computer Know-How. He Was
An Older Man and He
Would Fall Asleep Often And Be Found With His Head On The Desk, (Maybe A Blood
Sugar Problem). I Prayed
That Yahweh Would Be Merciful To Him And That He Would Not Lose His Job As He
Was Older And Might Not Find Another Job. I Said, “If Someone Has To Be
Let Go, Let It Be Me, As I Have Yahweh, Who Promises That “All
My Needs Are Met Through Christ Jesus, Who Strengthens Me”,
(Philippians
4:19). Yahweh Told Me Right Then In The Elevator, That, “Because
I Had Been Merciful, That I Would Receive Mercy”, (Matthew
5:7).
So, Since I Had All The Employees Email Address, I Sent The Entire Group Of Both
USBI And BCSS Personnel At Once The Scripture Chapter And Verse Of Jeremiah 17:7-8.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
~ World English Bible (WEB)
7 Blessed Is The Person Who
Trusts In Yahweh, And Whose Trust Yahweh Is.
8 For They Shall Be As A Tree
Planted By The Waters, Who Spreads Out Its Roots By The River, And Shall Not
Fear When Heat Comes, But Its Leaf Shall Be Green; And Shall Not Be Careful In
The Year Of Drought, Neither Shall Cease From Yielding Fruit.
My Boss Lady Called Me Into Her Office And Asked Why Would I Do
This? I Responded, Because I Thought Yahweh Should Get Equal Time Since
There’s So Much Fear Being Spread, That Our God Should Get Equal Time. She
Was Perturbed, But Didn’t Pursue It Any More, But Told Me Not To Write Anymore
Emails Company Wide Unless It Was Company Oriented. I Taught Ten Computer
Classes And Was The Sole Instructor Because The Other Two Ladies Asked To Be
Relieved Of This Responsibility And Gave Me Their Classes With The Manager’s
Approval, So When They Said They Will Reduce Boeing’s Budget By 10% And They
Will Cut The Instructor Program That Meant My Job~!
Ironically, Both Of These Other Ladies That Had Taught Classes Prior To My
Arrival, Tried Very Hard To Persuade Me To Get In Fear And To Say “What Are You
Going To Do When Your Job Ends”, And Apparently This Fear Was Why They Left
Being An Instructor To Start With. But I Would Not Be Consumed By Fear
With Their Negative Outlook And Wallow In Sorrow With Them. I Would
Respond By Quoting Jeremiah 17:7-8
And Said, “My Leaf Shall Be Green Even In The Year Of
Drought”. That Really Made Them Very Frustrated With Me,
Almost To The Point Of Being Infuriated With Me, {And That Should Have Been A
Clue To Me}, And They Would Start Over, “Yeah, But Blah, Blah, Blah”.
Whenever Someone Is So Stanch On Their Position And Getting Frustrated, This
Is A Clue To Show What Kind Of Spirit Is Behind Their Words, {Compare This To Galatians 2:21, Where It Is Said, “I Do Not Set Aside And
Invalidate And
‘Frustrate’ And Nullify The Grace Of Yahweh”}. The
Demon Operating Behind The Scene Was Trying To
‘Frustrate’ The Grace Of Yahweh For Success And Wanted To
Make Me Have A Failure So That d—Evil One Could Point His Finger
And Say, “See, There Was A Faith Person That Failed, And This Faith Stuff
Doesn’t Work, Instead Try It My Way”.
I Stood My Ground In Defiance To Their Snarls And Said, “My
Leaf Will Be Green In The Year Of The Drought”. So Then They
Started Looking At Me With That Look As If They Thought I Was Out Of Touch With
Reality, Then They Migrated To A Look Of Pity As If I Was Crazy And Didn’t Have
Enough Sense To Come In And Out Of The Rain, or To Know That My Job Was Ending
And Finally They Resolved To Just Feeling Sorry For Me And Labeling Me That I
Must Have Lost My Mind. I Really Didn’t Like Their Stares or Their Words
Behind My Back That I Could Hear Over The 5 Foot Cubicle Walls, (But, I’m
Including It Because When You Stand By Faith, Don’t Expect Others To Jump Up And
Down Shouting And To Stand With You).
However, One Of The Classes That I Taught Was Excel. So Every
Day I Would Eat My Lunch In The Park Nearby And I Would Say Out Loud Alone To
Myself or To Whoever Was Listening
Proverbs 22:29 ~
“Do You See A Person Who EXCELS In His Work? They
Will Stand Before Kings; They Will Not Stand Before Unknown Men”.
As It Turned Out About One And A Half Months Later, My Lady Boss Told Me That
My Job Would End And I Would Have Two Weeks Notice, But I Had To Go Home
Immediately As I Knew How To Sabotage All The Computers, And They Had To Be
Cautious For Any Reprisals From An Employee, *{The USBI Employees Did Not Have
This Luxury. When They Got Laid Off; It Was An Immediate Termination With
The Two Security Guards Escorting Them Out Of The Building}. So, I Went
Home, And Said, “Father, I Thought You Said That Because I Had Been Merciful,
That I Would Receive Mercy”. The Holy Ghost Said, “You Have Not Lost
Your Job Yet, You Still Have Two Weeks Notice”, (I Just Couldn’t Go To The
Office). I Said, “That’s Right~!” I Had Just Used Up All Of A Week’s
Worth Of Vacation To Go To Preaching Convention, Where I Got Hold Of Jeremiah 17:7-8, And I Was A Little Disgruntled That I Had To Use
Up My Only Vacation Time. Now, I Had A Two Weeks Lay-Off Notice, So
Essentially, I Was On A Paid Vacation, (Even Though I Just Used Up My Allotted
Vacation Time)~!
Then The Holy Ghost Asked Me “What Do I Think That Those Two Former
Teachers Were Doing Right Now?” I Said, “Well, They’re Talking
About Me Behind My Back, And Saying How I Just Didn’t Get It And That I Was
Naive”, (One Of Their Children Had Diabetes So Severe That Despite My Best
Efforts Trying To Tell Her To Speak Life Instead Of Death, She Would Not And
That Son Died During The Four Years That I Worked With Her). And Then She
Started Immediately Speaking Death Over Her Other Son. I Knew That They
Both Were Talking About Me Behind My Back To Everyone That Would Listen.
The Holy Ghost Told Me To Pray For Those That Persecute Me And Say Vile Things
About Me,
(Matthew
5:11;43-48; Luke 6:28
1 Peter 3:9; 1 Peter 2:12-21).
So, I Began To Bless,
(With My ‘Mouth’), Those That Had Persecuted
Me, By Speaking Life
Over Them And Their Situation And Declaring Life Over Her Second Son. I
Had To
Forgive And Retract Any Hard Feelings That I Had For Both Of Them
Speaking Behind My Back, And The Stares. I Just Kept Praying For About an
Hour And A Half, And It Took Me About A Half Hour To Drive Home, So About One
Hour After I Started My Prayer or Then Three Hours From The Time That They Told
Me That They Were Laying Me Off, The Supervisor That Was Higher Up Than My Boss
Lady Called Me Back, And Told Me That I Had A Job With The Parent Company Of
Boeing At The Alabama Super-Computer And To Show Up Monday Morning For The Final
Interview. He Was Delighted To Call Me. He Really Liked Me, And Was
In My Corner Rooting For Me. He Believed That Yahweh Was Real, And I’ll
Tell You Why.
Once About A Year or So Prior To This Time The Above
Mentioned Supervisor’s Face Had Gotten Poison Ivy So Bad That He Had Dark
Crimson Splotches On His Face. It Looked Like Mikhail Gorbachev’s Head,
Except It Was Near His Eye On His Cheek; (It Looked Like A BirthMark, But Since
I Knew My Supervisor Before This Came About, I Knew That It Could Not Be A
BirthMark). I Didn’t Know What It Was, And On My Way To Work One Day, I
Asked Yahweh What Was That? The Reply, I Got Back Was That It Was Poison
Ivy. I Said, “Well, I’ll Lay Hands On Him”, And I Heard Our Loving
Heavenly Father “Who Desires All People To Be
Saved, {Sozo ~
(Strong’s Concordance # 4982) ~
Actually Is Defined As Being Healed
~ (1 Timothy 2:4).
The Loving Heavenly Father Said To Me, “You
Do That And I’ll Heal Him~!” I Said, “Well, Open Up An Opportunity,
And I’ll Do It”,
(Colossians
4:3); I Could Just Walk Into His Office And Tell Him I Am Here To
Pray, So Please Allow Me To Save The Day. However, He Was Not A Person
That Appeared To Be Receptive To Anything About God Around Others, And I Didn’t
Want To Put Him On The Spot And Have Him Appear The Bad Guy If He Wouldn’t Let
Me, (James
5:13).
That Very Same Day, I Just Happened To Have Been Using The Stairs To Go To A
Trouble Call, (I Also Worked Help Desk The Last Hour Of The Day When I Wasn’t
Teaching Classes), And I Ran Into Him Alone Going Down, While I Was Going Up In The Stairwell Corridor, (This Had Never Happened Before, And I’ve Seldom Seen
Him Leave His
Office). I Knew That Yahweh Had Opened Up This Opportunity.
We Stopped And Chatted Awhile And I Asked Him What Was Wrong With His Face.
He Said That He Was Burning Some Trash, And He Must Have Burned Some Poison Ivy.
He Said, That He Had Tried Everything And Nothing Was Working And That The
Doctor’s Don’t Know What To Do, And At First They Thought It Might Be Shingles,
As Nothing Was Working And He Had A Cream On His Face Right Then, But He Was
Itching So Bad That He Just Had To Leave His Office, (I Think He Was Hoping To
Be Alone In The Stairwell, So That He Could Scratch His Face). Notice, I
Didn’t Tell Him Yahweh Told Me It Was Poison Ivy, I Let Him Confirm What Yahweh
Had Already Told Me, As A Way Of Endearing His Trust. Unless, Yahweh Tells
Me To Say Something, I Normally Keep What Yahweh’s Shared With Me To Myself.
He Said That He Was In Agony And So Much Pain That He Might Even Go Home For
The Rest Of Day. By Then I Was Very Deeply Moved With
Compassion, As I Have Had Poison Ivy
Myself And I Told Him So, And How Much I Hate And Detest Poison Ivy, And If It
Were Up To Me I’d Remove It All From The Planet Earth, (It Seems To Me Blonde
Haired White Folks Have More Problems With Poison Ivy Than Do Black or Brunette
Haired Folks, And I Had And Still Do Have Blonde Hair). Yahoshua Was Often
Moved With Compassion And Healed The
Sick.
For Even Yahoshua Operated In Compassion,
{Enter Here To See Most Of The Scriptures About
Yahoshua Operating In Compassion Before He Ministered In Faith, For Faith Works By Love,
Galatians 5:6}.
I Asked Him Very Solemnly, And Sincerely, “May I Lay Hands On You And Pray
For You?” I Thought He’d Turn Me Down, But Immediately, He Said, “Please,
Pray For Me ”. I Lay Hands On The Side Of Head, Being Careful Not
To Touch The Affected Areas, And Then I Thought, He’s Not Contagious, I’m
Contagious With The Blood Of Yahoshua. Then A Righteous Boldness Came Over
Me, As I Had Meant Not To Show My True Chárismatic Style, And Then I Thought,
Everybody Already Thinks At Work That I’m Ultra-Chárismatic, So I Think I’m Too
Late To Act Conservative Now. So, I Moved My Palm And Put It Directly On
The Dark Crimson Area Of His Face, And Again I Thought He Would Scream In Pain
And Move My Hand, But He Did Not. I Said, “Poison Ivy I Curse You By
The Name Of Yahoshua Ha Mashiach And By Whose Stripes We Were Made Whole By The
Blood Of Yahoshua Ha Mashiach. Leave Now At Once Like A Scalded Dog~!”
I Thought He Would Just Smile And Nod His Head As If He Did Not Really
Receive Me And Politely Thank Me And Go On To Still Being In Pain. But, He
Amazed Me~! He Said, “The Pain Completely Left Me When You Touched The
Exact Spot”, And That He Was Surprised That I Touched It, Knowing That I Had
Been Susceptible To It Before. The Next Day, His Face Was Less Crimson,
And More Of A Dark Pink, And The Next Day A Lighter Shade Of Pink, And The Third
Day A Very Light Shade Of Pink, And By 5-6 Days It Was Gone Completely.
Coincidently, He Met Me In The Stairwell About A Month or So Later On, And Told
Me That The Pain Went Away And Never Returned The Moment I Prayed. To This
Day, I Don’t Think Of This As, “Look I Prayed And He Got Healed”, But Rather, I
Am Just So Genuinely Humbled That He Got Made Whole As I Am Not The Healer.
I Was Just The Believer,
{(Mark
11:24; Mark 16:18; James 5:15) ~ “All
Things Whatever You Pray And Ask For, Believe That You Have Received Them, And
You Shall Have Them”; “They Will Lay Hands On The Sick, And They
Will Recover”; “And The Prayer Of Faith Will Save
The One Who Is Sick, And The Lord Will Raise Him Up”}.
But, That’s Not All The Ripples Of This Effect Of This Faith. When I
Worked At Boeing Computer Support Services, (BCSS), An Interesting Thing
Happened As I Transferred To The Parent Company Of Boeing Working At The Alabama
Supercomputer. The New Boss Lady That Was Interviewing Me Asked, “How
Did I Know Art Hitman?” Art Hitman Had Been The CEO Of Boeing In
Seattle Washington. I Had Never Met Him And Did Not Know Him; Although He
Came To Huntsville To The Space & Rocket Center For A Boeing Meet & Greet.
I Had Heard Our Heavenly Father Tell Me To Go Meeting; But, I Just Missed It And
Did Not Go. Later On, I So Regretted That I Did Not Go. Well, Art
Hitman Had Called And Said And “There Was No Way That We Are Going To Let
Charlie Warren Go”. But, Despite The Fact That I Missed It, Yahweh Did
Not, (2
Timothy 2:13).
I So Wish You Could Have Seen The Faces Of Both Of Those Ladies, (Former
Instructors), When They Allowed Me To Come Back Into The USBI Building Two Weeks
Later To Get All My Belongings That Someone Had Boxed Up In Two Cardboard Boxes.
Priceless~! I Had Been Paid For The Last Two Weeks While I Went To Monte
Sano State Park And Walked The Three Mile Trail Almost Every Day While They All
Had To Work. And I Was Just More Than Thrilled To Tell Them That Not Only
Did I Still Keep My Job, But I Start On Monday, And It Involved A Substantial
Pay Raise~!
When I Told These Ladies How Much Money I’d Be Making, The Meaner
One Said, “That Is More Than I Make”. I Said, “Yahweh
Said My Grass Would Be Green, Even In The Year Of Drought~!”
They Had A Look Of Totally Bewilderment On Their Faces Like They Were Stunned.
My Boss Lady Stepped Out Of Her Office To Congratulate Me, And It Was Very
Noticeable On Her Face That She Had Taken Stock And Was Pondering Over How I
Kept My Job, And What I Had Written In The Emails. So, I Just Repeated It
Again With A Lot Of Folks Looking At Me, But This Time Listening, “And
It Can Happen To You Also, If You’ll Get In Faith And Not Fear And Believe
Yahweh’s Word”, And I Repeated
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Verbatim.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 Blessed Is The Person Who
Trusts In Yahweh, And Whose Trust Yahweh Is.
8 For They Shall Be As A Tree
Planted By The Waters, Who Spreads Out Its Roots By The River, And Shall Not
Fear When Heat Comes, But Its Leaf Shall Be Green; And Shall Not Be Careful In
The Year Of Drought, Neither Shall Cease From Yielding Fruit.
After I Got
My Job Back, I Asked Yahweh, “How Did Art Hitman, The CEO Of Boeing, {Whom I
Had Never Met, Nor Did Not Know}, Call And Preserve My Job”. Yahweh
Reminded Me That Every Day At Lunch I Would Walk To The Adjoining Park And Quote
Proverbs 22:29…
“Do You See A Person Who EXCELS In His Work? They Will Stand Before
Kings; They Will Not Stand Before Unknown Men”.
Two Points Here.
First Of All, When It Comes To Having Bulldog Faith That Will Not Let Go,
(Ephesians
6:13-14), To Stand Even After It Appears, “That All Is Said
And Done”, Because A Lot Of Times It’s The Godly Way In Which We Exit That
Really Impresses Them The Most~! And Then They Hire Us Back or Down The
Road, They Recommend Us For A Promotion or A Greater Position At Another
Company,
(Genesis
40:1-23; Genesis 41:8-16).
The Second Thing Is Because The Word Of God Stands
True And It Cannot Lie And When You Stand On The Word Of God You Cannot
At The Last Minute Change Your Mind And Say “Well, I Guess It Was Meant For Us
To Get Another Job” or And Find Another Way Out. If You Do That, Then From
Now On, d—Evil One
Will Suggest That An Alternate Way Out To You Every Time You Encounter An
Occasion For Faith To Arise To Save The Day. At The Last Minute Is When
You Really Have To Stay In Faith The Most, (Remember The Auburn Alabama 2013
Iron Bowl Game And Auburn Won By One Second… I Have My Sister And Her Husband To
Witness That I Decreed It Would Happen Just Before It Did, When It Looked For
Certain That Alabama Would Win).
Bonus: I’m So Glad I Wrote All This Stuff Down. I Didn’t Know It At The Time, How Much Of An Encouragement These Testimonies Would
Be To Me Later On In Life. So, I Invite You To Start A Journal Also Of The Great Things Yahweh Has Done For You In Your Christian Walk.
