Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1

Who is David Eells?

This is the truth, for the record, and what I know about David Eells, based on my affiliation with him. I write this because I know how the world is and what happens when the glare of a spotlight is suddenly flooded onto someone who is making waves and rocking the boat, in this case, the huge ship of organized religion, false doctrine and pseudo-Christianity that has been allowed to flourish for the past two thousand years, distorting beyond recognition who and what Christ is.

My name is April Fields. I am no one significant and have no special calling to be in the spotlight. I am given to believe David Eells is one of these latter day “feeders of the flock.”

In mid-1999, I was led or stumbled into, if you prefer to see it that way, David’s website. It was not slick nor professionally done so it didn’t impress me with its formatting. But I was compelled to linger and read some of the teachings and a spirit of truth instantly rang out. What I found there, in those long, often difficult to navigate passages, was a kernel of truth so pure and painful that it called out passionately to my long suppressed anguish to be filled by something more than what religion had previously failed to offer. Every statement backed by Scripture.

I was raised Baptist but my mother had an “end days” vision when I was nine and our lives changed drastically at that turning point. I grew up knowing there was a truth that wasn’t being taught, in fact, it was purposely being ignored. But as I read David’s simple, un-polished words, I felt a kinship with him in my spirit.

After several months, and as 1999 drew to a close, I decided to test the spirits, as we are told to do. I had prepared, more or less in prudent manner, for the turn of the century and Y2K, not knowing what would happen. I put back some long-term foods. Among them I had several cases of whole powdered milk. I felt that I was to give someone one of these cases. I sent David an email that asked, “Is there anything you need?” He replied quickly, “Thank you for asking, but my Father is the only one I discuss my needs with.”

Oh, good answer, I thought.

I responded that I knew he had a family and that he lived by faith, and that I had a case of powdered milk that I could give them if they wanted it. He immediately replied that they did indeed use powdered milk but that he couldn’t ask me to pay the shipping. I responded that if he wanted the milk, God would pay the shipping.

This was the beginning of our alliance. Of course I didn’t realize it at the time but I see now that it was a perfect beginning because it established the ground rules for us. We are servants of Christ and we both intend to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. I’m happy to say this hasn’t changed in five years.

As time went by I felt comfortable enough to suggest to David that many people might not be willing to plow through the unbroken text in his website to get to the meat of it. He agreed and admitted that he was not a scholar nor was he gifted in the art of composition. He wrote the way he spoke and many of his teachings that were posted on his website were actually transcripts of teachings recorded during his Bible study sessions that he gave in and around the Pensacola area. David did not then, nor does he now consider himself to be an evangelist.

I told him that I could format his teachings if he was interested. Again, he did not jump at the chance to get something for free and told me he couldn’t afford to pay me. I told him, “no problem” and began working on his teachings, breaking it up into more digestible paragraphs. Through this process I kept getting the message that these teachings would be in books one day and told David this. It seemed to both of us, at the time, a daunting task.

Eventually, and with the help of those near him in Pensacola, guided by the promptings of the Holy Spirit, Sovereign God was published. It is a faith building revelation of God’s power and purpose to use everything to mature and empower us for His use.

I knew from the beginning it was not a book for the mainstream or the media to review. It’s rough around the edges compared to the plethora of slick, touchy-feely, religious books that are pumped out of the mainstream publishing houses annually. I knew it would never make it into the hands of the reading public by the standard process. This was a hard reality for me to convince David to understand given his devotion to the truths it held. They were so plain for him, how could the world not understand?

After researching our limited options we determined our best tack, at least initially was to get it out via an online, Print on Demand (POD) printer. This is a second best if not third best solution but it did what we needed and got the book out into the world in months instead of years. Eventually, the second printing was done by a standard print run publisher and that is the Special Edition version that is now available.

One thing always leads to another.

God will have His way and I believed and told David several times that nothing could stop the book from getting into the hands of those who had eyes to see and ears to hear. But I knew sooner or later that the word would get out and the wheels would be set in motion and it did. One day I received the email I had been expecting would come.

Stan Johnson of the Prophecy Club inquired if I could direct him to David’s email address. This was the open door and the fulfillment of what God had told David he would be called to do one day. Travel and speak. I know this is something of an agony for David but he is nothing if not faithful. The Prophecy Club has been the vehicle even though this has been David’s hill to climb. He is a humble man and not interested in profit or gain from speaking the Word. Unfortunately, the machine must be oiled, bills must be paid and there is nothing David can do about other's methods. Fees are charged and books and cassettes are sold. Nevertheless, the fruit of this is that hungry people are flocking to be fed and hear what David has to say. I receive emails that are profoundly heart warming from those who have been blessed by his teachings and wish to have the book but who can’t afford to buy it while attending the speaking tour.

Both David and I believe that God’s Word should not be sold. We believe that He provides, in His way, without our having to worry about it so long as we are obedient. For this reason, we send Sovereign God out to anyone who asks for it. Those who cannot afford it, get it, nothing asked of them. Those who can afford to help, God will impress to send whatever they can afford. This is not our call but God’s. Each servant should focus on his/her call and not worry about what others are asked to do. I send out books by the caseload and never have to ask for anything. That is my calling. Then one day there will be a check in the mail from a total stranger, which covers all costs previously incurred. This is their calling. This is the fruitful result of blind obedience. This is the way we should be. We should not be making a business out of God’s Word.

Having said that, David is more or less at the mercy of those who would charge fees and sell the book; this doesn’t mean he approves. Furthermore this doesn’t mean that those who do so are not vessels of honor, just unable to let go and allow God to use the Body of Christ to support the ministry without prompting.

We make no profit but somehow the money is there to both print and ship the books. David often says, “God has all the money in the world.”

David is currently writing another book, Hidden Manna- For The End Times, the one that is destined to crack open rage, protest and scathing reviews. Once this book is out, the opposition is going to actively go after anyone who embraces its teachings. Souls are at stake, after all.

I am writing this to establish a line of truth about this matter and this man David Eells. I am terribly saddened and tired of the lies and half-truths that the world finds so comfortable to live with and reside in. This I know, David is humble and he is faithful. He doesn’t seek fame or fortune and this has been the litmus test for me.

God loves and blesses David Eells, not with worldly goods, though his basic needs are indeed met, but with good answers and a spiritual wisdom that often takes my breath away. A few months ago a sister in Christ was emailing both of us trying desperately to get us to read and agree with another man’s view of the end days and venomous diatribes against the New World Order. David’s response? “I haven’t time to study evil.”

And that, in a nutshell, speaks volumes about the theology of this simple man. If we spent our time seeking all there is to know about good and the Author of Good, there would be no time or need to study evil.

Recently, a brother in Christ, Mike Stein, had a prophetic dream or vision about David. From my personal experience with David, I believe it is true and it is time to share this with those who do have the ears and eyes to understand. When I asked for permission to reprint this, David’s response was typical of him,

OK, but people should also know that I can't take any credit for what God does. My greatest qualification is that He chose me as a weak vessel because His "Power is made perfect through weakness."

God bless you,
Dave

Vision of David Eells
By: Michael A. Stein

Created: 9/8/2004 8:57AM

At the time of this vision (approximate date noted above), I was reading David’s teaching concerning the rapture called “Rapture When”. David had sent me an email and instructed me to read this article. However, when I started to read the article, it became apparent that a deeper “study” of the Word was required. It is so full of understanding where “line upon line, upon line, upon line etc.” has been fitted together that I have not seen anything like it outside of the scripture.

Since this time, I have listened to many of the audio teachings at http://www.americaslastdays.com, including the bible studies. I have also read all of the teachings with the exception of David’s book. It is harder to “speak the truth” than it is to “write about the truth”, however, David does both extremely well. David takes on controversial subject areas and speaks to them truthfully with overwhelming scriptural based evidence that is nothing less than inspiring. David himself has a contrite heart. He is not haughty.

After having studied his “Rapture When” paper for the second time, I was praying about David, and the Lord touched me and asked me to pray for his family, specifically for his boys. Well, I have two boys, and I know what it is like to “feel” alone sometimes when we are praying for loved ones. When they are resisting God, they also resist us. The burden isn’t heavy because of Jesus, but it is constant, because we love them.

When I tried to sleep, my spirit seemed to be caught in a whirlwind of burdens. (So much for volunteering). I was praying for mercy, which seems to be the one prayer that draws the Holy Spirit into controlling in us what I call the orchestration of the Father’s will.

Somewhere in this experience I fell asleep and a dream started of a man. He was tall, and on the thin side. He was standing with an open bible in his hand. He was wearing a straw hat with a wide blue band. The hat had a full brim, like a cowboy’s hat. He was wearing a blue waistcoat that was trimmed in yellow/gold, which included the collar and sleeves. He wore black Bermuda shorts and socks with very comfortable walking shoes. Most distinct of all was the fact that he wore glasses with gold frames.

He is prepared for ministry. He is clothed in righteousness. He is David Eells. I was dreaming the meaning of the vision. David lifted up the bible, and began to speak, however, no words/sounds came out of his mouth. Instead, a river in the shape of a square came out of his mouth. It looked something like a waffle, however, it was clear like water and it moved as if it were vibrating. As I moved closer I could see that it was a vision within a vision. His words had become a raging river, yet it was constructed as if it was woven. I was seeing a vision of “line upon line” power being spoken.

When I looked closer, I could see principalities and demons. They were frozen in place (by the waters) and their works were destroyed. Some of those (demons) on the edge of the water called to others on the other side about what to do next. Unfortunately for them, an angel was there, and he repeated their plans.

Immediately David wielded around unexpectedly and spoke again, and another vision/river flooded through the works of darkness and they were destroyed again. Anywhere the enemy went, David spoke and the works of the enemy were destroyed. Then I understood what I was seeing concerning these teachings. They are not designed for education. They are designed to encourage spiritual victory.

David has been dressed/prepared to go anywhere and speak the truth, which will correct what it is that believers are accepting as false doctrines that have, or will, ensnare many believers. Also, some believers have the truth but can’t find anyone else who will confirm it. Furthermore, the Lord has done a marvelous work here in David by integrating one truth tightly into another. This is why David’s teaching is like a powerful river.

When I listen to David’s teaching methods, he explains one truth in so many ways from so many biblical sources that the weight of it destroys what isn’t true. More importantly he accomplishes this in the lives of believers who are God’s elect who were in the process of going astray. For example, when I read the book of Revelation the Holy Spirit told me that the U.S.A. is Babylon. I thought that this was the work of a demonic spirit until I read David’s teaching, which confirmed what the Lord was trying to show me. The same is true concerning the work of Ivan Panin and the perfection that exists in the written word. I knew that the word of the Lord was perfect but I couldn’t find the confirmation until I listened to how David applies Panin’s corrections to the written word. This takes work.

There was one other small item that the Lord mentioned about this dream and it has to do with discerning the differences between the wheat and the tares. I haven’t researched this yet so I can’t even suggest how this applies to the vision. Maybe this is a separate word. Right now I can’t say.

Many believers are going astray based on the deception associated with tiny deviations from the truth. This is why I believe that David has a powerful deliverance ministry, which has been prepared by the Lord to deliver the elect from the snares that are hidden within each deception. Often, when one lie is exposed or one truth illuminated, the joy of the Lord becomes our strength. The river doesn’t hurt the believer it cleanses us.

One word of caution in this regard, many believers will reject what David is teaching, because they will see it as a violent assault on their understanding of the truth. What I saw in my dream shows clearly that this river of truth is powerful. At first, it is designed to destroy strongholds in our understanding that bind us. We must yield to the Lord and allow the tearing down, however, we all know what happens when we are unbound. We gain true freedom.

I have often heard David ask for prayers to be strengthened, but I feel a burden for his family. So I am going to continue to lift up David and his family. May David rejoice and not be burdened and may his family be continuously surrounded by the many blessings, mercies, and presence of the Lord. Also, I believe in these teachings and I believe that the Father will open up many more doors of opportunity to liberate the body of Christ with this ministry.

Finally, I want to thank David and his co-ministers for making the truth available according to the Word.

I believe God is gathering and preparing His witnesses. I know for many years I felt as though I was in a wilderness, where I couldn’t interact with others who knew the truth. The Internet, for all its evil uses, has been the vehicle for allowing the Body to find all its parts. The wheat grows along with the tares.I’ve learned we have similar stories to tell, about being called or, as in my case, held out. The reason becomes clearer now. No doubt, the Body is out numbered by the world, but I submit if God be for us, who can be against us?

The true test of a man’s worth to God is the fruit of his work, is it not? From my vantage point, the fruit of David’s work and life – as a type and shadow of what was and is to come – points to his worth as a vessel of honor.

May God continue to bless his faithfulness and to use David Eells for His good purpose.

Yours In Christ,
April S Fields
