When God Speaks, Who Will Listen?

P. Andrews Dean

Description

When I was young, I was mysteriously protected and kept from harm. I was hit by a car, severely burned on the palms of my hands, and literally thrown out of a car into a busy intersection. Somehow I never sustained any injuries. I had many questions as this divine protection and provision continued throughout my life. Little did I know that what I endured was part of a plan for me to know what I have now learned, and share this with all who will listen. These adventures with our heavenly Father not only gave me answers to my questions but also much understanding of our Father and His works. This book tells about my adventures and part of what I learned. It is the beginning of a series of books containing what our Father has taught me. It was not easy for me to hear. It was not easy for me to write. It is always difficult for us to listen to Him. All He is asking now is for us to listen to what He has told us from the beginning and respond.

PROLOGUE
W hat happens when something occurs that is beyond our normal understanding and capabilities? How do we explain these things? Do we just accept it, and move on? Do we just ignore it, because we do not understand it? Throughout my life I have had these types of experiences. I could not ignore them. I could not just move on with my life. I had to know what was happening, and what these things were all about. I knew that there was a power involved that could not be seen. I knew that these events were real, and I had to know why I was the recipient of so many of these strange events.
All of my life I have sought the truth. I have always had an analytical mind, questioning how things work, or why things are the way they are. This led me to a vocation of designing machines. I was good at this. I began this career when I was twenty-one, and it provided me with a very satisfying vocation. This inquisitive state of mind also led to my questioning other things. I found myself wanting to know the truth about this world. I had too many experiences that I did not understand beginning when I was very young. I wanted to know why I was not injured when accidents happened to me. I wanted to know why I felt the way I did when my mother died, and how I knew what I knew about death, and life after death. I wanted to know why things happened as they did with the women that I had married. I never wanted more than one wife. I never expected divorce to be a part of my life. I had little or no control of what took place. Perhaps most of us do not concern ourselves with things like this, but I do. I want to know why things happen the way they do. I never accepted that we cannot know about these things. For some reason I just never believed this. I somehow knew that we could gain knowledge and understanding of whatever we want to know, and I sought this throughout my life.
Learning of this type takes time. It does not come easily, or quickly. It also does not come through any man. It only comes from the one who created us. This is what this world is all about at this time. We are here to learn about our Father and be prepared for the eternal life that He has created for us to have and enjoy. My persistence to know the truth led in part to what you are about to read. The adventure that I have had with our Heavenly Father is real. I have been blessed in ways that even I do not understand. I was blessed with much understanding of what this world is all about. I was shown why we are here at this time. I was shown why this world is the way it is. I was given knowledge of what the future holds for us. There is purpose and reason for all that exists, and for all that takes place in this world. If you think that we cannot know these things, read this book. If you think that there is no God, read this book. The one who is responsible for everything that exists does not want to hold back the truth from any of us. I did not have this adventure just for my own benefit. I was not shown these things just because of what I wanted to know. We are His children. We are His pride and joy. He has been working with us to teach us the truth from the very first day that He put us here upon this earth. What He has shown to me is what he wants all of us to know. These books are not being written for me to make money. I rely on our Heavenly Father to take care of me. There is nothing that He cannot do. He wants to take care of all of us just as we want to take care of our children and provide all that we can for them. In order for us to receive this divine providence we need to listen to Him, and live as He has created us to live, in peace and harmony. In the past we have not listened to Him very well. He is hoping that this will change.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
T his is the first of several books written as a result of unexpected experiences involving divine intervention and interaction. I cannot explain all that has taken place. All I can do is testify of what has happened, and share what I have experienced. I know what I have experienced with our Creator is not common today. I had questions for a long time about my life and this world. So much took place that made no sense, and was not a product of anything I did myself. All of my questions were answered in a way that caused me to listen to the one who created us, and hear things that were not easy to hear. I was corrected in things pertaining to our life and this world. Little did I know that much of what I believed was not correct.
In order for me to be shown these things I had to be taken somewhere where I could be alone with our Heavenly Father. I know this sounds crazy. Like most of us I did not believe that God works with us like this today. I was amazed as He opened my eyes to what I now know. He enabled me to study and read without being disturbed. The place He took me to accomplish this was not where I would ever choose to go. It was the Michigan Department of Corrections. It was no coincidence that I was taken to the department of corrections. That was exactly what our Father did with me.
The title of this book reflects what this work is all about. My eyes and ears were opened to truth that was not easy to accept. This all came to me in ways that I could not deny. As I was given this understanding I was also directed to write what I was shown. This also was not easy. I had never written any book, and did not believe that this was something that I could do. This first book tells what I encountered. The books that will follow are:
THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORLD
THE RISE AND FALL OF AMERICA
THE SECOND EXODUS
NEVER LEFT BEHIND
THE PRISON OF MY SOUL
As strange as this may seem today, our Heavenly Father wants to talk with us. He can and will communicate with us in different ways just as He has done from the beginning. Nothing has changed with Him. I have already experienced this. I have no idea how much this will be believed by anyone. What I do know is that we are going to continue to hear from our Father. He wants us to be ready for that which is to come. Jesus taught us to pray for the kingdom of our Father to come upon this earth, because that is what is going to take place. Every one of us has been born to be a part of the kingdom of our Father. He has given us our agency, the ability to choose for ourselves whether or not we want to be a part of His kingdom. We can have a taste of what He has created for us to have and enjoy. This comes through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the marriage of our spirit with the Holy Spirit of our Father. Yes, we have made many mistakes. Like a good father, He has tried to correct us, and will continue to correct us in order for us to have what is good. Whether or not we will listen is yet to be seen.
INTRODUCTION
I do not know how many people really believe in God anymore. As for me, I cannot question His existence. For reasons that I cannot explain I have been allowed to know Him in a very personal way. Beginning when I was very young I had experiences with Him. Through different acts of divine care and dreams and visions I was given proof of His existence.
I know what I say will be difficult for anyone to believe. It was not easy for me to receive. This came to me in a very strange way that I certainly never expected. One thing that I have learned the most with God is to expect the unexpected. There is so much that we do not know. This is His world. We are a part of what He has created, and of what He is doing. What you are about to read is not fiction. It is true. I hope that you will allow what I have experienced to help you in your relationship with our Father. There is nothing in this world that can bring us more joy and happiness than knowing the truth about our Heavenly Father and what He is doing.
When I was a child I began to see the truth of a divine being watching over us. I had several serious accidents. I was once burned severely on the palms of my hands. This took place when I was in kindergarten. We had an appliance for m
