1752. Occurrence given to Raymond Aguilera on 24 August 2003
An Occurrence and update on the Churches I used to go to when the Lord first began to speak to me.
A little background first. I believe it was 1989 when the Lord first began to speak to me and I was going to three different Churches at the same time each Sunday: a Foursquare Church, the Catholic Church and a Covenant Church. At the Foursquare Church I received the most help from an Associate Pastor, but soon after he left this Church and started his own Church in another city. Then later the head Pastor of the Foursquare Church tried to have me arrested because of the Prophecies, and five of his Associate Pastors surrounded me and tried to stop me from entering the Foursquare Church Sunday Service. Well, I knew the Pastor at the Catholic Church well, but he had just had surgery and was in bad health so he could not help. I also went to the Covenant Church and asked for help there too, but the Pastor did not know much about Spiritual Warfare and things like that. So I was pretty much on my own with the Lord in teaching me the ways of the Spirit, because I knew really nothing at all. Things got so hot at the Foursquare Church I had to stop going there after attending their Church for about three years. I stopped going to the other two Churches also.
So I began to go to a large independent Christian Church in a near by city, but the same crazy things began to happen at this Church. They rejected the Prophecies and they began to look at me strangely after several Pastor meetings. I guess they did not know what to do with me. So after going there for about three years I left that church too. I found the behavior of these two large Churches very unsettling because they were supposed to believe in the Gifts of the Spirit. Maybe they only believed what they wanted to believe.
Well, a few weeks ago without planning it I found myself at the independent Church going to their Sunday Service, which was good.
Then the Lord instructed me to e-mail the Pastor of the independent Church, I knew him from years past, but back then he was one of the five Associate Pastors, now he is the head Pastor. All other Pastors have since left this Church. I felt strange going back, but I figured the Lord was trying to show me their growth. Well, I saw no growth, but the pride was still there and the Church had changed its name. They lost the head Pastor do to adultery with one of their members, and the Church was smaller, and they were still seeking a Church building. Here is the e-mail the Lord asked me to send this Church:
Hello Richard,
It has been many years since I last went to XXXX xxxx Center or I should say XXXX Church. It was a very good service. I did not know why the Lord sent my wife and I there Sunday until this morning. The Lord has asked me to give you these scriptures and only two Prophecies of the many Prophecies I gave G. XXXXX. It was nice speaking to your wife again, she is a blessing to you. God bless you and yours and your Church.
yours in Christ,

Mat 10:40 "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me.
Mat 10:41 Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
Mat 13:57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honor."
Only two of the Prophecies given to G. XXXXX:

And now this last Sunday I found myself at the Foursquare Church that I used to go to years ago. This Church has a new head Pastor and a new Church name too. This is a wealthy large Church in an upper middle class neighborhood. I could not see any change in the size of the Church, but the spirit of the Church seemed more at peace than before.
