Today we talk about Identify the flesh from the Holy Spirit, a book by Gideon Samson and Michael Strachan published with our publishing house Europe Books.
Europe Books had the pleasure of interviewing the authors, Gideon Samson and Michael Strachan, to get to know them better, the moment that prompted them to write their book Identify the flesh from the Holy Spirit, as well as how what Writing means to both of them.
Below you can find our interview. Take a seat and enjoy your reading!!!
- What prompted you to write this book?
Gideon Samson
A revelation prompted me to write down my experiences. It started during the Covid-19 where I prayed alone in my isolation while during the full moon time, though I was unaware of what that period meant at the While reading through the scripture at night, I could reflect deeply on what the apostle Paul was trying to say. So I looked up and asked myself, who is God? Funnily enough, I heard a voice in silence that said, “I am, that I am.” This does not sound new, of course, but after that day, the voice did not stop.
Michael Strachan
I was going through a difficult period where I was mistreated in my job, which led to serious illness, being made homeless due to corrupt landlords, losing my girlfriend and being misunderstood by my family at the same time. My spiritual brother Qyntavius Andrews spoke to me about the Apostle Gideon Samson. He said I should speak with him. I contacted him, and he taught me about Yeshua (Jesus Christ) and our heavenly father. I also had many spiritual experiences. Gideon baptised me by fire, and my life completely transformed from that point, and the Holy Spirit has been directing me ever since. Gidi told me about a book he was writing called “Identify the flesh from the holy spirit”. He needed help on the book so we decided to work together and it was an amazing experience. We completed whilst undergoing many challenges to finish the job like no finances, broken laptops, no food for long periods, and homelessness. We experienced many supernatural experiences showing us that the heavens were elated when the book was completed.
- What does Writing mean to you both?
Gideon Samson
I used to not be able to communicate my words effectively. Through writing, I have been able to set my heart free from burdens and worries. Writing has become an important part of my life. Without writing, my life would have been hidden from the world, and my reality would have slowly faded away. Writing for me was a way of keeping records of my reality. It also helps me to express my life without words.
Michael Strachan
I never anticipated that I would be involved in creating a book and it being published. This is how our heavenly father works. Sometimes, we are directed out of our comfort zone to achieve things we never thought were possible. If you have faith in God and believe in the plan he has for us, you will receive certain information from the heavens to help you evolve and create something that will be of benefit to humanity (this is what happened with our books). Ever since being baptised, my writing has greatly improved due to the increase of my spiritual awareness through the Holy Spirit. We have been blessed with many different skills between us. Father wanted me and Gideon to combine our spiritual and life experiences, bringing in different skills, creating a partnership that was based on the same vision. I started gaining more inspiration to write, including poetry. God wants us to share our experiences about how to build a personal relationship with him through our testimonies or anything creative that can express our experiences to bring people closer to our heavenly father. We are writing to simplify spiritual information that will greatly improve people’s lives, especially children. We will write many children’s books that are dedicated to teaching them how to flourish in life through creating a relationship with our heavenly father. Writing for me is a way to express my spiritual experiences in order to help people transform their lives through building a relationship with our creator and father in the heavens.
- What messages did you want to convey to your readers?
Gideon Samson
Life is not carnal, so anyone who is living the life of the flesh has not yet understood the true meaning of their existence. On earth, every physical thing was created by man. It then fades away afterwards. Since our enemy is not a man, we should live in purity so that we can receive the authority to fight against the impure entities and spirits that function at night in the darkness when everyone is asleep.
Michael Strachan
We wanted to convey messages that will teach people about the spiritual effects of sex, desires, emotions, the vanity of this world by building a relationship with our heavenly father in a way that people can relate to and understand so they could be aware of their choices that create a good or bad reality. We wanted to simplify complex spiritual information in a way people can relate to.
- How did it feel to see your book published?
Gideon Samson
I am pleased to know that my faith in Europe Books was not a disappointment. Due to a lot of misinformation online, I was afraid that I had taken the wrong step, but I am now really happy knowing that I am with the right team for this project.
Michael Strachan
It was truly an amazing feeling to see our book published after many challenging experiences but they really helped us to develop our spiritual awareness. All the glory goes to our heavenly father as he is the director of this movie we call Life. We knew that we were given a task by God to complete this book and we have a great amount of peace and harmony knowing that we made the right decisions and sacrifices. We really appreciate the efforts of all members of the Europe Books team that help us publish this book. We hope and pray that this opportunity will lead to many more profitable opportunities for us and Europe Books. Our only aim is to reach many people to help transform their lives. We don’t do anything for material gain, the most invaluable riches is having peace and harmony knowing that you are making the right choices for the benefit of others.
- Are you planning to write a new book in the near future? Can you tell us more about it?
Gideon Samson
It would be a great pleasure to continue sharing mine and our experiences with the world, although we have written some books that portray issues in different realities of life and how we can overcome these challenges. We have a book in progress titled Vanity. We want to show the world what it feels like to have reverence for the Lord and to also Identify the realities of impurity in the life of an individual. Weare created in a virtuous form, just like we take care of our cars, keep our house clean, we should know how to keep our own body clean. Our body is a holy temple ready and fitting to receive and accommodate “The Holy Spirit.”
Michael Strachan
I am humbled by our heavenly father with this gift to be able to express our lives and spiritual experiences on paper. We plan to create many books, animations and movies that will help people understand how to build a personal relationship with God through our actions (not just words), words without action are meaningless I believe that everyone who has experienced the power of our heavenly father in their lives should share their testimonies to glorify our father, not ourselves. We only have these gifts because of him but many take credit for the work of God. We must boast in our weaknesses not our strengths so that we glorify our heavenly father (not ourselves or our own physical efforts). We must show humility at all times and I plan to write my testimony sharing my experiences since I was a child and how God has always been there helping me gain more understanding to prepare me for a bright future. We work together as a team as that’s what father wants us to do, sharing our gifts as one team to create many books that offer deep insights into our reality and how we can overcome challenges whilst still experiencing peace and harmony, understanding feelings, emotions, and the vanity of this world by focussing on the unseen world not the physical one, so we cannot be controlled by them.
Europe Books thanks the authors, Gideon Samson and Michael Strachan, once again for taking the time and answering our questions. We are really pleased to have walked alongside them on the editorial path that led to the publication of their book Identify the flesh from the Holy Spirit. We wish them the best of luck for their future works.
To you, my readers, may this book be a source of inspiration and reflection regarding living a pure life, in which you can relate consciously to the choices you decide to make. Do not be afraid to “fight” with negative and impure entities, stay strong and enlightened.
So, my dear reader, all I have to say is to enjoy your reading!
Your editor!
