When an ancient darkness arises in a modern tribal village, only the Apprentice and Angel recognize the sign for the tribe but also for the earth, The storm is bringing with it the winds of change. For those who are willing to be tested in the fires of Rhuka,, total transmutation and freedom.
For those who hide their eyes and hearts, whether it be individuals or whole kingdoms of people who share a common faith, the crumbling comes.
Read and watch in wonder how the Great Spirit teaches the people through the lives of these ordinary people the meaning of Love, Faith and Power.
Watch their pain, then transformation, as the dark Spirit tries to destroy the
work of God in this small village in American. Amaze at the touch of the Master’s hand through 49 years of preparation and training. Training for this very time; the time of cleansing and purification of the people of the world—the Beloved Children of God.
Listen with your heart, look with your spirit and the keys to your freedom and transformation will be given to you. The Storm will become your Winds of Change.
ALSO
or me this book was written by divine revelation as much as I, a human, can testify to it, but you decide. Out of the experience with the Lord came most of these words. My insights came out of my relationship with Spirit within the Silence. This book was not channeled from any entity, but came as a gift of love from the Spirit of Christ within. When I use the pronoun I or Me, I am referring to myself from the first person. When I refer to the Apprentice, I am writing from the Witness or Observer Self that we all have within. The Witness is the part of self which Sees and experiences everything. The Observer Self makes no judgments; it is only an objective observer which sees and makes record of events.
I discovered that there are those who have read the first drafts of this book who believed the lies told to them by the Dark Spirit. They became frightened of the implications to the American Village as it exists in the third millennium since the birth of Christ. So be it. They have generally either expressed anger or confusion regarding what they have heard, or believe that Angel and I are angry and confused. Nothing could be further from the Truth as I understand it. Never-the-less, the draft has been re-written in its current form, to decrease their fear, because of my love for the Master’s people. Nothing in this book is meant to create fear; it is designed to inspire love and openness to a new way of Seeing. If you look deeply into these words with your Witness and Observing Self perhaps you will discover the Seer within you. But please continue on and let the Spirit of Truth teach you.
Finally this book came out of an increasing recognition that the United States is in a deep state of Spiritual poverty. Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, Cathedrals, Kingdom Halls, Fellowship Halls, and other sacred places of gathering are diminishing while in third world countries they thrive. This book is written based on my knowledge of the Christian Tribe, of which I am a part. Our population spends its time looking for ways to be entertained rather than ways to serve. The most common complaint I hear is “I am not loved.”

He is a psychologist, mathematician, amateur anthropologist,
theologian, writer, healer and an Elder in the Village, Winds-of-Change.
However, he rarely will admit to any of these gifts unless there is some
sacred purpose to it. He is also a student (thus the name Apprentice) of
Jehoshua (Jesus) and has been my friend for longer than time. Many
stories were shared in the book by Angel; his life partner, wife, a clinical
social worker, healer, writer, and Priest in the Village. Angel has also
been a friend of mine for as long as time can be measured.
Angel and Apprentice have been members of the Tribal Nation
most of their adult life and have been students of the Lord for 40 adult
years. Apprentice began his search for truth at the age of eight. Unlike
some clergy in the Village, their work in the world is seen by them as
their ministry, their calling, and a form of missionary work. The profi t
made in their business is sent on to the poorest of the world—both
physically and spiritually. They have worked diligently, as much as
the Master allows, so that they may never be a burden to the Village,
Nation or the Kingdom.
When The Apprentice and I fi rst discussed the writing of this book,
he was very concerned that the Truth should come out. He has always
hoped that his many years of being touched by God could be of service
to his fellow human kind. When I read the fi nal draft, I could see the
Lightning strike writing of the Apprentice, and beautiful nuances of
shade and color of his editor, Angel. Each time I read any part of “The
Storm Is Coming”, I am immediately taken to a place of the Spirit, a
place of hope and struggle. I trust that if you are lucky enough to come
across this book, God will touch you also. BY YANONWA
