Book Cover & Preview Text
When I became older and more skilled with the work, there were some who would muse about My future as a builder. Some would talk about Me taking over the business being the eldest son. A few even praised My work and talked about My future as a carpenter. I just smiled and went about My business as though everything was going as planned. It was going as planned but not as they thought. FATHER had sent Me to Earth with a divine purpose. If that purpose was fully known, some would have questioned why I was working as a carpenter. In the plans of FATHER, the purpose and timing were perfect and must not be corrupted. It was not time and yet I was still on the path of FATHER’S purpose. There will always be those who have a purpose, but whose foolish zeal will cause them to step through the door too soon. They spoil the process and outcome of God’s purpose. Then there are others with a purpose, who procrastinate because of their fear or timidity. These wait and the sun sets on God’s desire, thus forfeiting their destiny. I knew there was a heavenly purpose for Me; I was only awaiting FATHER’S perfect timing and plan. There would be many moments in My future journey, where timing will be of the utmost importance, yet those around Me will become either impatient or afraid. I knew it was extremely important to be sensitive to FATHER. My principle, now and in the future, hinged on doing only the things I witnessed FATHER doing and only saying the words I heard Him saying.

About the Book
Journey of the Messiah—The Awakening is written from a first-person point of view, as if Jesus is telling His story. The life of the Son of God is told from before His incarnation in eternity, through His young life, and into His journey from the wilderness temptation to Galilee. The story holds closely to the biblical accounts recorded in the Bible for this thirty-year portion of His life. While little is recorded of the early years, much of the journey is left to our imagination. Such moments of His departure from Heaven, conception, and Awakening to His Messiahship are shared in this book. In these pages, the personal experiences of the Son of God, as the Son of Man, are explored and pondered. Come and take this journey in the sandals of Jesus the Messiah; experience His life, listen to His voice, and hear the beat of His heart from the glories of Heaven to the dusty roads of Earth.
