Chapter 19: Conclusion CHAPTER 1

Personal Journey

In my earlier books, I laid the foundation for understanding the life and words of the Lord. In Spirits Speak of the Universe, I devoted chapters to the Universal God and universal reincarnation. My last book, Spirits Speak: Channeling the Life of Jesus, told of information we channeled about the missing 28 years in the life of Jesus, as well as information about his disciples and followers. That book laid the foundation for the words that are presented in this volume. In that book, you learned that Jesus lived a relatively normal life until he began his ministries. That life included a wife and five children. It also stressed his relatively simple message of love and living a good life so your soul can advance in heaven as it becomes more like God. Here, we will expand on his words by bringing you the messages of Jesus and those of the disciples, followers, and servants.

There are many individuals and books that claim they speak or contain the words of God. In this book, we take a very unique approach, in that you can go to my YouTube channel and watch the videos of our channeling sessions with our Lord and the holiest of spirits. You can watch the videos, hear the words as we received them, and make up your own mind. You can also go to my website, www.wordsofgodthenandnow.com, and read the raw transcripts of the words as we received them. I have absolutely no doubts that we are bringing you the words of Jesus, the , and the holy spirits. Our intent in this book is not to undermine the or organized religions but to bring you truths about the life of Jesus, his followers, and his words. You will see that the messages are beautiful and will instill a fresh love for God. We hope this book will contribute to giving you understanding as to the complex journey your soul goes through to advance in the realms of heaven. It will also tell you of the perils the soul faces because of free will and ego.

If someone told me 20 years ago that I would be communicating with Jesus and the holiest of spirits, I would have told them they were crazy. At that time, even though I was spiritual, I did not even believe in ghosts and made fun of anyone that would tell stories like what is happening to us today. Having a business management degree and a civil engineering license, I worked in the construction and stone quarry business all my life. At one point in my life, I was CEO of a group of stone quarries. This is not exactly a background conducive to spirituality and communication with the holiest of spirits.

My wife, Connie, and I were always spiritual. We believed in the existence of God or a higher spiritual being. As a young child born in rural Pennsylvania, I attended an extremely strict church closely related to the Mennonite faith and even attended tent revivals with my grandmother. I tried reading the Bible but must admit to having a hard time understanding many of the verses. We tried to raise our two daughters in a spiritual environment and attended a Presbyterian church on a fairly regular basis. I was never completely satisfied with much that I was being told and slowly drifted away from church, but not my belief in a higher deity.

My personal and spiritual stories are told in previous books, especially Afterlife: What Really Happens on the Other Side, so I will not repeat myself here. Suffice it to say that my spirit guides led Connie and me along a path of learning that would allow us to communicate with the guides and spirits to provide the information included in this book. There were times that I found the information we were receiving to be unbelievable. My scientific background would kick in, requiring solid proof of what we were being told. When you are dealing with spirituality, solid proof is often hard to find. Faith is often the answer.

It has been a long journey from managing stone quarries to writing the contemporary messages of our Lord. Many of you will still be very skeptical, and rightly so. There have been many others that profess to have conversations with God. As you read the messages and words, I think you will come to realize that we are really bringing you his messages and advice for the evolution of humans on Earth. In my previous book, Spirits Speak: Channeling the Life of Jesus, we told the reader he lived a normal life, complete with a wife and five children, until starting his ministries at the age of 28. In this book, we bring you his messages, his answers to questions, and the stories of his apostles and holy spirits. Approach this book with an open mind and listen to the words of the holiest of spirits. Their messages are ones of love and compassion. Some of what you will read is in stark contrast to classic religious beliefs.

Our journey into the spirit world began when I purchased a haunted antique gallery in Pennsylvania 30 years ago but took a giant step forward in 2008, when economic conditions forced me to return to the store full-time. This event allowed the ghosts to introduce themselves, and I became obsessed with learning as much as possible about the other side. Another major event occurred when I was introduced to board channeling by friends in Salt Lake City, Utah. Board channeling provided the means to communicate with the spirit world and record their responses.

Communicating with a Spirit Board For those of you not familiar with board channeling, we used a circular board, 20” × 20”, with the letters and numbers in a circle around the outside of the board. There is a glass surface that protects the board from wear, and we use a shot glass in the place of a planchette. Connie and I would each put our fingers on the glass, and it was moved to the letters by spirit energy. The design of the board was given to us by the spirit guides during a channeling session. The guides also gave us this prayer of protection that we use when we begin a session:

God, please grant us your wisdom and protection. Grant us the knowledge that we can handle and keep us safe from all things that will harm us. Keep the messages positive and pure love. Keep us safe from our own ego. We ask these things in the light of the seen, the unseen, and the honesty of God. Our Channeling Board – Barry Strohm

As Connie’s and my psychic abilities improved, we became able to communicate with our spirit guides without any assistance from other psychics or even using the spirit board. Eventually, we were able to receive our messages mentally. As you watch the videos on my YouTube channel, you can watch as our abilities increase through the years. At this point of our education, we began to get personal messages from the holiest of spirits. Their messages began to indicate that we were on an incredibly special mission: to tell the true story of Jesus and his apostles. Needless to say, it took a bit of time for the impact of what we were doing to sink in. The first time Jesus came through for us, we were overcome by his wonderful energy. His words convinced us that we were truly communicating with the holiest of spirits.

A Special Mission from God One thing we have learned in communicating with spirits is that all souls are members of soul families. Souls have reincarnated with members of their family many times. For instance, Connie and I have lived six or seven lifetimes together. We have been husband and wife, brother and sister, and in other relationships. Souls stick together on the other side and make plans to come back together. We were amazed to learn that God has a soul family and we were members of that soul family. Connie and I had been sent back to bring everyone the contemporary words of our Lord. We were told that much of what was written about him in the Bible was manipulated to strengthen the powers of man. He felt it was time for the truth to be told, and Connie and I were among those chosen to speak his words.

You can imagine how hard it was for a person that for 60 years of his life did not even believe in ghosts to understand that he was chosen to tell others the messages of Jesus and his apostles! In the beginning, I kept asking for some type of confirmation, and the different guides would confirm that the information was true. The challenge became how would I ever convince others that I was truly speaking the words of God? He not only convinced us that we were talking with our Lord, but he showed me how I would be able to convince skeptics in the future. As proof, Jesus gave me the power to heal others, much like he healed people when he walked the earth. He gave me a simple prayer that would direct the healing powers of God.

As proof of what he told me, one evening he came through and asked if I was ready to try healing others. I was scheduled to speak at a convention in Salt Lake City, and he gave me the name of a person to pray for that needed healing. When Jesus specifically asks you to do something, you do it. When I arrived at the convention, I became aware of a woman that was telling a friend about her chronic migraine headaches and that she was having one that was interfering with her ability to help at the convention. She gave me a very strange look when I asked her permission to pray for her and try to heal her headache. Approval was given, and I said the prayer as it was given to me. Within the hour, her headache was gone, and as I write this chapter, over one year later, she has suffered no more headaches. God healed her! Since that time, I have healed others, using the prayer that directs the healing power of God. Just as Jesus used his healing powers to show the people 2,000 years ago the power of the one God, he has chosen to give me a similar ability to prove to people that I am speaking and writing his words. This book is the culmination of what Jesus has asked of us. We are presenting his messages on a wide variety of subjects. There are also chapters from channeling sessions with his mother, Mary, and his apostles, disciples, and other members of his soul family. They also bring words of love and understanding. Many of the subjects we cover in this book are very controversial, such as abortion and what is happening to our country. I am simply the messenger in bringing the reader the Lord’s responses. His overriding message is of a simple love for one another and living a good life that will assist your soul in rising within the realms of heaven. His hope is that this book will become a guide for living your life and influencing others through his love and that of the holy spirits.
