Adam begat Seth, Seth begat Enos, Enos begat Kenan, Kenan begat Mahaleel, Mehaleel begat Jared, Jared begat Enoch, Enoch begat Methusaleh, Mehusaleh begat Lamech, and Lamech begat Noah. We skip the genalogy and hustle over to the New Testament (not Stephen Jones). Stephen Jones at the Father’s Day meeting in Peculiar shared with us the meaning of these 10 generations’ names; which when put together make a sentence you won’t believe. A sentence that speaks of God is in control, that He is sovereign, and a prophetic unction of Him reconciling all of humanity. The following list are the names and what they mean.

Meet Len Yule “Some try to break a horse’s will dealing with its physical body; others with its emotions. But I go deeper,” Len stated. I asked Len what is the average time it takes to cause a horse’s will to be no longer ‘his will’ but ‘Len’s will be done’ (Does anybody see where I am going with this?). He said “On the average, about 45 minutes. Hardly ever over a three hours.” I asked does it ever take more than a day. And if so what are the statistics. Len shared, “Sometimes it does…..about 1 in a 1000 horses have to have continual contact (Hello, Adolph Hitler!) And then I asked have you ever had a horse that was not reconciled to your will. Mr. Yule said, “NEVER!” If the following is the path for horse; then WHY NOT MAN?
FRIGHT-A horse’s eyes are located on the side of his head. Anything that is at least 6 feet behind and 6 feet in front allows this creature of God to have 360 degree vision. Incredible! He can see the predator coming from any angle. And he is always watching.
FLIGHT-When he sees the predator, his natural tendency is to flee. Len produces a situation (circular pen) to cause him to flee in the direction that Len chooses. Psalm 139 states that if you choose to make your destination hell because of your choice or reaping what you have sown, “God is there”. Thus Len is there in whatever choice he makes.
FRUSTRATION-The circular pen causes the horse to experience frustration. He realizes the inability to escape Len (How much more are we not able to escape God!)
FUTILITY-Len begins the repetitive process of making the horse direct his steps in the direction that Len chooses. Resistance finally becomes futile because of a ‘greater power’ or can we say a ‘greater will’.
FAITH-”At this point the horse begins to trust Len. I have had horses that will run at a galloping pace to get to me across a pasture once I have developed that relationship with them, Len said.

Len has been to Canada, Scotland, England, and Chile to share this “reconciliation Message”. Listen folks, your will is ‘good to go’ until one greater shows up. Then His supercedes your will. If you don’t believe it, just ask Paul.

Meet Dr. Terry & Cheryl Van Oort-I actually hung out for a couple of days and we had a great time. My 2 days in De Moines, Iowa were way past the place of coincidental. Consider the list below:

6-When John Van Oort was born the doctor told Cheryl he was a girl. When Jonathan Luke was born I was first told he was a girl.

Dr. Jack Jacobsen invited me to come and do the Apostle Paul drama in Minneapolis. He is retired as a professor from the Minnesota Graduate School of Theology in Minneapolis, MN. It is the school where Carlton Pearson got his degree; sadly enough, something the college is not to proud of. We met in the clubhouse at the beautiful apartment complex where he lived. It was primarily some elderly spirit-filled Lutherans who had embraced the UR message. Steven Jones who only lived blocks away was in attendance along with a young man that was about to go to Vietnam to start a bible school. These folks were full of love. When I finished the drama Dr. Jack came up to me and said, “I want to start a church. Will you help me?” Jack is 84 years old. Some people retire….but Dr. Jack’s gonna RE-FIRE!

I arrived in Chamberlain, South Dakota in the afternoon to fellowship with “Hope Beyond Hell” author Gerry Beauchemin’s friend, Brandon Gaeris. He ministers on a reservation to Indian children there near Chamberlain. He’s a mountain of a man (6′7″) with a spirit of a lamb. He and Gerry were missionairies together in Africa. He was there with Gerry when he started getting the revelation of a God whose love will never fail. He really had some stories to tell about their experiences. He is an evangelist who loves to use “Hope Beyond Hell” as the instrument of sharing God’s Amazing Grace. I told him about my dramatizations and he made be do part of one sitting at the table in a restaurant.
