My father was a truck driver during my school days, and I learned to drive 18 wheelers during high school. During my college days I continued driving to support my schooling. During the summers I worked on my uncle's farm in the black dirt of central Iowa and learned to make things which would make it easier to do things around the farm. It was during this time that I accepted the Lord as my Savior at age sixteen at a Billy Graham meeting in Rockwell City, Iowa. After High School I wrestled with the decision whether to go into the ministry or use my idea-design talent, which I had developed during my time on the farm. After many hours of meditation on the situation, I decided to go to South Dakota State University to become a Mechanical Engineer. After graduation, I became a design engineer; designing air tools, material-handling equipment, and quality-control equipment for several companies. During my time in Michigan I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of in tongues. After 30 years of being part of the engineering community I retired and went to teaching in churches with much energy spent in the area of spiritual warfare. Two different pastors requested that I leave their church because of my desire to continue in Spiritual Warfare. That is what bought about my writing this manuscript. It is my feeling that we have taken a soft approach to this topic.
