How Brother Freedom is Used

From time to time. the presence of the Lord comes upon Brother Freedom and he will not be himself. If he is in a church where they do not receive such ministry he remains quiet and just listens to whatever the Lord is saying to him. But if we are in one of the special meetings devoted to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, then Freedom will repeat what he is hearing. He only does this if the Holy Spirit allows. Sometimes the Spirit is speaking things that are not for general distribution. Freedom is very, very sensitive to the directives of the Spirit of God.

Freedom's normal personality is very quiet, retiring and shy. When he is preaching the Holy Spirit will suddenly increase upon him and at times the sermon will fade out and a prophetic message from Heaven will fade in. When Freedom is preaching you can tell when the anointing level is rising because Freedom's public speaking ability increases. Freedom is not a silver-tongued orator. He often struggles for words when he is speaking with his own mind and hasn't quite become airborne by the Spirit of God. He will then often stop and pray a few words in the Heavenly language. And then God comes and lifts and helps him go on. But when the winds of the Holy Ghost become strong enough things change! Freedom becomes airborne in the Spirit of God.

Whereas he was struggling for words, suddenly a faster, more constant flow of words will pour from his lips. His focus will move from the room where he is at, so that he seems to only be partially conscious of those present.

Those sensitive to the Holy Spirit begin to feel the increase in the anointing in the room. People either back off to get away from the strong presence, or they become more quiet and blessed.

When I first met Brother Freedom, I would ask the others, who were there, what we heard. No one seemed to be able to contain more than snatches of the message. Even Brother Freedom could tell me little of what was said. In fact the heavier the anointing the less that Freedom could recall of what was spoken! It was then that I asked him for permission to record and transcribe the messages.

Because Freedom's gift is like an oracle he depends very heavily on the Holy Spirit. In fact he cannot speak without the anointing. He has to literally stop if the anointing lifts. Other preachers will fall back on their natural ability and push on. But Freedom cannot do that because he has almost no gifting in the natural to speak. And so there is greater safety for him. He doesn't have to worry about what is said. He knows that God is in control.

I like to liken Brother Freedom to an old radio speaker nailed to the wall inside an ancient garage. This old radio speaker was a part of some old vacuum tube set from the 1930s. But somehow this old, dusty speaker, nailed to the garage wall is no longer connected to the old radio. It is connected to Heaven. And the old speaker really has zero control over what goes on in Heaven. But it faithfully reproduces what comes through the two wires from Heaven.

That's how Freedom works. People mistakenly think that Freedom is something. But Freedom is only obedient. Freedom only knows what the Spirit of God tells him. And he simply relays what he hears from glory. In this way God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost receive top billing. Freedom is just the old speaker on the wall. But, I love to hang around in that old garage and sit and wait for God to speak. That's why I love to hang around with Brother Freedom. God is so wonderful!

God has given Freedom great faith and many that he has prayed for are touched by God. In many meetings people come forward seeking for Freedom to pray for them. God does awesome things when Freedom prays. I guess Freedom has prayed so much through the years that he has prayed the price. God listens very closely to Freedom's prayers. And Freedom often points out that God is no respecter of persons. We just need to spend the time with God. And it has taken years of spending time with God for Freedom to be where he is in Christ. God is so wonderful!
