35th Anniversary

 
Finally Published!
 
 
 
 

My Second Encounter with an Angel is the follow-up companion book to My First Encounter. This book contains the core of Awan's teachings. He explains the power of human soul, and how one can reconnect with the God-within oneself. This book also explores the long-forgotten psychic meanings behind the many religious rituals surrounding Palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Passover and Sukkot, as well as Spirit’s perspective on the controversial social issues of suicide, abortion, and euthanasia.

Thoughts Really Are Things (Energy)!

 
 

After learning of the tragedy in Newtown, CT on Friday afternoon, Spirit impressed me to make changes in the upcoming Sunday Service, in New Jersey. The lecture I had prepared seemed totally inappropriate in light of what had just happened. I felt we needed to provide a positive impact.
I decided to lead a healing meditation for the people in Newtown, CT, then the USA, and then the world. After our traditional healing service, I asked the congregants to arrange their chairs in a circle. I explained what we were about to do. As Carl had taught us so many times, “Thoughts are things (energy).” We would join hands, blend our energy, and as a group, create a dome of healing energy over Newtown, then the USA, and then the world. Carol, one of the congregants had taken a course about this kind of meditation, and I asked her to speak about how working in a group, increases the impact of the energy exponentially. Then she asked if she could place a bowl of water in the middle of the circle. After this was done, she took off her necklace and used it as a pendulum over the water. The pendulum moved in a straight line very slowly over the bowl of water.
Then we joined hand and sent out the healing energy. I have no memory of what I said; but I also had everyone say his or her own personal prayer. After we finished, Carol placed her pendulum over the water. Much to my amazement, the pendulum began flying in a circle around the bowl of water at very rapid speed. It was most impressive. 

Thankfully, I thought of video taping the pendulum’s movement. If anyone needed proof of the validity of this spiritual, this totally demonstrated it. The power of thought is very powerful.

 

 [It may take a few moments before the pendulum begins traveling over the bowl of water.]

 

 

After this meditation, I went into trance and Rev. Hewitt addressed us about the tragedy and the upcoming alignment of the planets. You can see the video of this trance lecture by clicking on Carl’s picture.

Church President Johnsamuel Coleman

 

For the past 5 years, Johnsamuel Coleman has been my silent “rock of Gibraltar,” and a crucial part of Gifts of the Spirit Church. While he chose, up to now, to remain more in the background, he has been and will continue to be my sounding board and confidant in all church matters and decisions. He often provides me a perspective, which I am unable to see, until he points it out to me.


Furthermore, his support has allowed me to build my confidence both as the Pastor of Gifts of the Spirit Church, and as a medium. I now feel it is time, to acknowledge his contribution and role to the Church by naming him President of Gifts of the Spirit Church. In his role as president, Johnsamuel is responsible for the operational matters of the Church.
