About the Book
What then is Inspirations of the Heart? Some could say that it is Inspiration from the Heart, the truth is, This kind of Inspiration is from above, the Wisdom of God. For many years I was dealing with life issues and struggles and I didn't know where to turn as and when I needed to do so. My life, for the most part, was bound with constant chaos, and, the more I tried to make life work the harder it got. One day, however, I found King Jesus without thinking about him, I was homeless at the time, I thought I had him already but was soon to find that I did not, anything anyone said, I believed, that was a clear sign that Christ was not in my life, at least not awake yet.While having some food that I picked up from a dumpster, I had a spiritual encounter, it was wild, I heard voices of people that were not there, and then I saw a figure that wasn't quite human, but not quite a ghost, it was more like a flash of light, it was right there that Inspirations of The Heart came alive on the inside of me, for the next three weeks, no matter where I went, I talked about the Lord, the word was strong within me and I could not shake it off, two weeks later, I was in an apartment of my own, and seemingly, everything was going well. When seemingly everything is going well, you might as well look for the worst to happen, and it did, I found a job, all was well, then, I had a stroke and the job went away, the apartment went away, then, I lost my car and almost everything I owned. But the word was strong within me, and I wrote books of poetry, well, notebooks, then I started writing short stories, all the while, the writing kept my mind intact.This is why I now say that Inspirations of the Heart actually saved my life because I believe the Lord used this to help keep me from falling away, and falling down on my deathbed. Come to the Light is about leaving to the condemnation of the world, the flesh, and the rulers of darkness and coming back to the power and the love of God that if you can just trust him, his love for you and me is undeniable.
