My name is Allasso Travesser. I was first converted in 1984 when I was 25 after I had picked up a bible and began reading Matthew ch 5-7. I had never read the bible before. I was astonished at the words that Jesus spoke, and felt a drawing deep within my soul that seemed to identify with this man. I had never seen anyone live by the truths He spoke of, Christian or otherwise. I felt within myself, "I want to have that".
I had also heard of the Sabbath at this time. I had never heard of anyone worshipping on Saturday before. There was again something deep within me that seemed to feel a kinship with this truth. I knew then, that if I were to worship God, I would also keep the Sabbath.
As the days passed on, I was drawn more and more to the truth, and to Father. I joined the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and was baptized. For three months, I experienced a great peace and resolve. I began to realize that I had been given victory over all my sins. When I would share this with the elders of the church, they would warn me not to become too hopeful, because everyone must fall sometime or another. One day, I entertained a temptation. It was not something I did overtly, but it all took place in my mind, and lasted about three minutes. The peace I had was gone in an instant.. That little three minute dance with the devil cost me 10 years of much pain, in trying to regain hold on the Grace that had so blessed me.
For 10 years I was a nominal Christian, very much like the Christians you see today, trying real hard to get better. I attended church every Sabbath and oftimes prayer meetings. I sometimes taught Sabbath school, and was active in church functions. I was liked and respected in my church. Finally one day, I was sitting in Sabbath school, and the teacher asked in a rhetorical manner, "Is everyone saved?" Of course everyone dogmatically chorused an "amen", But I could not so quickly agree. I realized that I was no different than anyone else in the world. I felt a deep burden in my soul as if there was something fundamentally wrong, but I could not put my finger on it. I realized I was not saved at all. Oh yes, I "believed" in God, knew all the "right" doctrines, but there was something fundamentally missing.
Not too long after that time, an old friend called me who I had not heard from in years. He said very little, and then told me, "You know Kevin, Christians don't sin". We did not discuss any theology about it; we didn't have to. I knew instantly that he spoke the truth. I felt my heart warmed, and again felt the strange kinship to this truth that I had felt when I first read a bible. All of a sudden, I realized that all of the scripture that had seemed perplexing and mysterious to me now made perfect sense. And, all of a sudden, life itself started to make sense to me now.
I felt a deep hunger to know more, and so he sent me a book called "His Only Gift", by Wayne Bent. My heart thrilled as I read. I began to feel like a long lost little boy who had found his daddy. More and more simple precious truths were opening up to me that were so simple, yet so contrary to the general consensus of society, even Christians. One such one was "Whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall also reap", that is, that everyone is the responsible for, and the creator of their own life's circumstances. I longed for fellowship with others who believed this way, and found out there were others who gathered, including Wayne, who were called the "Lord Our Righteousness" church. Like myself, they had seen that all the denominational churches fulfilled the role of Babylon. They would not accept the simple truths of the Bible, but instead clung to the reasoning that was the same as the world, that justified their sinful and selfish lives. Thus, we saw we could no longer worship in these churches.
I left my career and the city I lived in, and I and my family began simplifying our lives, living as many in the church were living. We sold all of our possessions, paid off all of our debts, and bought an RV to live in, to order our lives in a way that was less binding to the earth. I could no longer justify supporting with my tax dollars a military to destroy human lives, nor a government that is bent on promoting immorality and ultimately a Godless society. I also wanted to be free from agreements that would impede freely moving as God would lead.
As time went on, great light was revealed to the Lord Our Righteousness, in regard to how the Father relates to His people. In 1994 Father began intimating to us realities regarding the second coming of Christ. There was much evidence, and the scriptures would seem to pour out resolutions to apparent mysteries, which in the hindsight, we would realize were obvious in the scriptures, but were only veiled by preconceived ideas, and the thinking that we had been indoctrinated in while in the churches. There were many, many evidences, but a scripture that well describes the advent as we were being shown is, "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints", As more time went on, we began seeing the second advent as far from the physical "man in the sky" doctrine, and began realizing how contrary that is to the purposes that Jesus had demonstrated. We began to realize that we were actually entering into the second coming of Christ, as He would come in His saints.
In this process the Church was necessarily brought to see her great need for deliverance. We knew the purity of heart that was required of the Bride of Christ, yet could not seem to consummate the reality of it in our own lives. The Father was not indifferent of the needs of the Bride, and we were called out to be in the wilderness to be fed in a very special and intimate way from the Father. In this was the fulfillment of the Woman in Revelation 12. Father led us in obtaining a property in a remote area of New Mexico where we could be free from the intrusion of the world while experiencing His very sensitive work in this regard.
None of us knew the ways and purposes that the Father had in store for us, revealed through an experience that would completely overturn our world and reveal to us a depth of our need of God far deeper than we ever could imagine. This would last 3 1/2 years, as told in the prophecy. Early in our time in the wilderness, as I was feeling my need for deliverance with a special intensity, Father revealed through my spirit the special connection and purpose that He had designed in Wayne Bent in regard to the deliverance of His people. Finally one Sabbath as I was feeling especially burdened, Father spoke to me in an almost audible voice and said, "You will not be saved without Wayne". I understood those words clearly to be in the context that in some way, Wayne was my saviour. I did not understand at the time how this would be so, but only knew that there was an exclusive connection between Him and my salvation. I did not know that right about this time was when Father had come to Wayne and spoke to Him saying, "You are Messiah". At that point Wayne was anointed as the firstfruit of the final deliverance. He received the fullness of Christ in him, so as to say, Christ was now his very being. He was also anointed with the work of Michael, as revealed in Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12:7. It was at this time also, that the Two Witnesses were anointed for their work, as described in Revelation 11.
Michael was the firstfruit of the second coming of Christ, as we saw that Christ was to come in all of His people this way. Michael is the "new name" (Revelation 3:12) of "this same Jesus". This was only the beginning of a wonderful yet awe-ful process, as Father had much to do in preparing His people for receiving the second coming of Christ in each them. The 3 1/2 year period has been of great intensity of the annihilation of ourselves. We are at the end of the 3 1/2 year time, and are experiencing the deliverance promised, as are others around the world who have heard Michael through the internet and have believed in Him as the Messiah.
This is an extremely abbreviated testimony, as it would take volumes to discuss the ways Father has led me, and what He has revealed to me personally, and His people that I have been connected with.
