29 July 2023

On 27 July 2023, I’m contacted on Facebook Messenger, by Adnan James.  Adnan pastors a Christian home church and feeding ministry in Muslim controlled Pakistan.  He reaches out to me, “I am Evangelist Adnan James from Pakistan.  If you want to work […] ministry here [in] Pakistan, […] you can work with me.” I ask what I usually do, “How can I help you,” because there’s usually an alternative motive many foreigners have for contacting me.  Many people live in poverty in Pakistan; especially Christians because they’re persecuted so harshly there.  For those of you who don’t know, Jesus called me out of work twelve years ago into ministry, of which He calls me out of that eight years ago, telling me “Don’t work.  I want you to see I can provide for you.”  So, my wife, seven children, nephew and I have lived a poor existence; however, Jesus has lived up to His end of the deal and we have lacked nothing.  I have no money to give Adnan. 

I’m waiting for Adnan to ask for financial support, but on the contrary, he comments, “I want you [to] preach here [in] Pakistan online.”  I ask Jesus about everyone who contacts me.  Sometimes He will tell me right away, “No,” or “Not for you” or some other answer to turn me away from the one asking me for things.  I can be His answer but I’m not His answer for everyone.  He has others, so I let Him make the decisions as to who I help or not.  He doesn’t tell me “No,” so I take this man’s name to the Kingdom Intelligence Forum and present it at the feet of Jesus.  I tell Adnan, “Concerning speaking in Pakistan, I will ask Jesus and get back to you.  If He says no, [it’s no].”  I’m really expecting it to be “No,” but of course Jesus has much greater things in mind.  When we do talk, Adnan goes into a vision, Jesus shows him and empty house with no door and the windows blocked up.  “Confusion” enters to block this vision, because Jesus is giving Adnan the vision of his future ministry.  I ask Adnan if I can use his name to document his story and share it. He concurs.

When I take Adnan’s name to Jesus in the witness of my wife, daughter and the Holy Spirit (The Forum) Jesus tells me, “Be open.  Hear him out.”  I ask, “Do you want me to talk to him on the phone or can I just [Messenger] text him?”  Jesus gives me the option, “Either.” 

I ask Adnan “What are your expectations for me,” in regard to speaking to his people in Pakistan.  He replies, “Preaching […] outreach […] give food.  My vision is to win souls for Christ.”  There’s nothing specific here, so I respond “Adnan, this is every Christian’s command from the King.  What do you need me for, [why would you need me] to accomplish what you’re already commanded to do?”   Adnan responds and he just wants me to preach with him.  This is “no bueno” for me, then suddenly, Jesus downloads something to me and I know I need to “send it” to him.

I tell Adnan, “Right now, close your eyes and ask Jesus to give you a vision of what it is I’m supposed to do with you.  I am sending that to you [in the spirit] and if you ask, and it is His will, He will show it to you.  It is specific.  Give me back what He shows you.”  Adnan tells me what he feels and I rebuke him quick and hard, “You are not seeing that.”  I want him to see what I sent him, not tell me what he feels personally.  I tell him, “Do not trust your own understanding.  Close your eyes and see” and I ask Jesus to open his eyes

Adnan continues to ramble about his own aspirations for us and Pakistan, but Jesus is about to change things.  I ask, “What did you see Adnan?”  He responds, “I see a house.”  Amen!  He continues, “[This] house is uncomplete.”  “Tell me more about [this] house,” I insist.  Adnan, “The house has no door.”  Me, “Whose house is this?”  Adnan, “It’s like a whole building.  No rooms.  It’s like a hall.”  I want to confirm if he’s seeing for real, or appeasing me because I’ve been forceful, “Are you seeing this in the spirit?”  He replies, “I pray and I see it when you said to me close my eyes.”  He received the message and Jesus is opening his spiritual eyes to see this vision.  Awesome! 

We continue and I tell Adnan, “Ask Jesus whose house this is.”  Adnan replies, “That house is free [empty] and [the opening in the] window[s] is fill[ed] with bloks.”  I contend, “All houses have a door. […] Why is there no door?”  Adnan asks for me to guide him and remarks, “I’m so confused.”  I argue, “Jesus will tell you.  Listen!”  I command “Confusion, leave him now,” and I cleanse the air over him and purify it with the Blood of Jesus. Then, I open Adnan’s communication with Jesus.  Adnan says, Amen” and tells me, “That house has no door because every person can come there.”  I ask, “Is this His house or your house?”  Adnan, “That house is not mine.”  Me, “Should this house not be protected with a door?”  He responds, “Every person can come there” and I ask, “And this is good?”  Adnan thinks it’s good, so I demand “Then go in, now.” 

Adnan doesn’t know how to go into the house asking, “How?”  I tell him, “[Just] walk in.  Believe sir.  Ask Jesus to help you.”  He tells me, “Ok” and I request him to tell me everything he sees and hears.  He says, “Nobody’s [here].  I’m alone.  And a light.  Even there is no tube light but the house is [full of] light.”  He’s in and I challenge, “But everybody can go in there.  Why is no one there?”  Adnan, “The home is free.  Empty.”  I assert, “Ask Jesus, ‘Is the light in the house You?’”  He replies to me, “The [inside of the] house is whitewashed and full with light.”  I reiterate, “Is the light Jesus?” and Adnan tells me, “Jesus [gave] me a verse, I am the light of the world.”  The light is Jesus and this is His house! 

I assert, “This is His house.  Why is it empty Adnan?” and he gets another verse, “The field is more the laborers are some.”  I guide, “You are in His house Adnan.  Ask Him to come and talk to you” and the vision goes silent.  I ask Jesus, “Please allow Adnan to see You.”  I get Adnan to ask forgiveness of sins and ask Jesus to cleanse him with His Blood and understand “He wants to deliver you a message.  Are you still in His house?” 

Adnan’s family is back around him and he is not (cannot) praying any longer.  I ask, “So, we cannot continue?”  Adnan sees “silence” he says and asks me the meaning of all this.  I tell him, “Its our purpose together; me and you.  What Jesus wants.  He has a message for you.  I want you to enter His presence down that hall.  I want you to meet Him in that house [Adnan].”  He asks, “Can you tell me” the message, but Jesus wants to tell him.  I want to test Adnan’s giftset and ask him, “Have you ever seen anything like this before?”  He replies, “No.  This is my first time.” 

Before, feelings were not acceptable.  He had to “SEE” what Jesus wanted him to see.  Now we can accept feelings and I ask, “Do you feel Jesus wants you to build this building?”  He replies, “Yes, I feel.  And I feel God give the resources.  I don’t know how.”  I add to his statement, “I feel He wants you to build it AND fill it!”  I feel Jesus brought us together so Adnan can be His builder.  Jesus wants Adnan to build His Church and fill it with new believers, not service existing ones.  This is a new project, specifically for Adnan, and I am to be His spiritual mentor. 

In the end of our communication today, I see this picture of Adnan feeding women in his household.  I send him his own picture and tell him, “When you meet Jesus He will tell you what you are going to do in the future.  He loves you very much.  And then, maybe one day, you can feed me some of the food I see on this plate.”  He responds, “Amen my brother.  I will give you food.”
