The Book of Wayne

“What you are about to hear is not Scripture, nor is it meant to replace the Bible in any way.

This is a personal testimony a record of one man learning to listen, obey, and submit to the Word of God.

If anything here moves you, let it lead you back to Scripture, prayer, and Christ alone.”

Full update edited on the seventh day of the seventh month by my hands Wayne Scott O'Dell Allison at the 5th minute of the sixth hour in the evening.

Wayne 1:1 The sword hath long been spoken of as a gift from God. Yet what if it be not a weapon, but a tool appointed for service? For the pen in my hand beareth the sword of the Word, and when it is wielded in obedience, great things are brought to pass. A father’s tool may appear as mine, yet the tool entrusted by my Father is fashioned for my hand alone.

Wayne 1:2 This writing is not an addition unto the Holy Scriptures, neither do I claim any office or authority therein. It is but a record of my walk, as I learn and submit myself unto the Word of God.

Wayne 1:3 As these words are set down, it is the seventh day of the seventh month; and recent events have set my feet upon a path which I cannot yet declare.

Wayne 1:4 Some who read may accuse me of evil or of blasphemy; perchance their hearts remain guarded against the words of God.

Wayne 1:5 Let it be known unto all: I seek no glory, nor any reward of men. My sole desire is that thou mightest find the Lord our God.

Wayne 1:6 Whosoever doth glorify me erreth, and bringeth harm unto us both. For I am but dust, shaped by the Lord into a servant, that my testimony might, in due season, guide another.

Wayne 1:7 I desire to serve the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of the Almighty Father.

Wayne 1:8 For we have all gone astray blind and born in sin every soul without exception.

Wayne 1:9 It is said among men that the pen is mightier than the sword. For the blade is swift and short of sight, but the pen beareth the sword of Scripture, shaping generations and offering salvation through the written Word.

Wayne 1:10 My thoughts do wander, and so also shall these pages wander. Yet this gift hath the Lord given me; may it still bring honor unto His name.

Wayne 1:11 Peradventure the Lord requireth not that we wield the sword of wrath, for that belongeth unto Him alone. Who then are we to strive with fists and steel? Our battle is fought with the pen that beareth His Word.

Wayne 1:12 The Holy Bible remaineth our sure defense against Satan. Though we sense the nearness of the hour, we commit times and seasons unto God, for no man knoweth the day nor the hour (Matthew 24:36).

Wayne 1:13 We may write words of hope, of grace, and of trial. We may tell our stories not as Scripture, which only God appointeth but as testimony.

Wayne 1:14 For every life holdeth a story: a witness of the grace, hope, and love bestowed by our Lord. This testimony becometh our battle cry.

Wayne 1:15 And if we answer that cry, our pens may gather the household of faith (Galatians 6:10), the lost and those yet unseen, and help guide them homeward.

Wayne 1:16 My soul weepeth, for I desire to share these things with those I love; yet I know it is not appointed for them, nor for me. To do so would claim glory unto myself, which is not the way of God. Therefore I bear the tears of unspoken words, and wrestle still with how these thoughts should be set forth. All glory be unto God.

Wayne 1:17 Great is the temptation to speak before the appointed time; yet I must pray and seek the will of God, that I fall not into the snare of worldly recognition or self-gratification.

Wayne 1:18 Is it not clarity that men seek in this life clarity of purpose, of direction, and of being?

Wayne 1:19 Yet we seek these things in earthly writings, even in these words now read. But if thou shouldest lay aside this book and cleave unto the Scriptures with a true heart, I should count it honor enough.

Wayne 1:20 Men look unto the world for inspiration, and sayings abound: Thou canst do all thou settest thy mind unto. But are these sayings wholly true?

Wayne 1:21 Nay; for they are but fragments of God’s truth, oft twisted for gain in a corrupt world. For there is but one way by which a man may truly prosper.

Wayne 1:22 Take the path of sin, and the devil himself shall offer thee passage; for he refuseth none, being the wolf clothed in sheep’s wool.

Wayne 1:23 Yet the heart remaineth empty, ever craving more. Know this: the depth of the devil is great, and the world’s false beauty is but his veil.

Wayne 1:24 But when a man readeth the Scriptures daily, prayeth daily, and yieldeth his will unto God’s will, he lacketh nothing needful. The Lord provideth, even for those who know Him not.

Wayne 1:25 When thou turnest unto God with thy heart foremost, blessings beyond measure follow, sight is renewed, and the presence of the Holy Spirit is made known.

Wayne 1:26 This is the path upon which I now walk. I know not the length of these pages, nor the hour they shall be read of others. I labor only to hear the Spirit, that I may serve God faithfully.

Wayne 1:27 If by this I may lead others unto the gates of heaven even if I enter not I am content with the will of God.

Wayne 1:28 On the eleventh day of the seventh month came trials of family and of money. I prayed unto the Lord for strength, patience, compassion, wisdom, and words rightly spoken.

Wayne 1:29 Again and again I prayed. And when the family gathered, I opened my mouth to hear their words first, that understanding might be found.

Wayne 1:30 One spake of being used, another of betrayal. I acknowledged both, perceiving the work of evil through each account.

Wayne 1:31 One said, I desired not to be a burden, yet was unaccustomed to such love.

Wayne 1:32 And I affirmed that fear, yet showed how forbidden actions had brought the very burden feared.

Wayne 1:33 These words were not mine, but God’s; all glory be unto Him, who taught much in a single hour.

Wayne 1:34 The matter deepened: fear, division, separation, and change.

Wayne 1:35 A debt was owed and a promise broken. The Lord bade me speak, though I knew not how. I said, This family shall not be divided by money. And I asked, What shall settle this debt?

Wayne 1:36 They disputed the sum. Again I asked. And when it was spoken, I paid what I could not afford, and peace followed.

Wayne 1:37 Yet bitter words arose. I said, This is not the way. For such speech is taught by the world, not by God.

Wayne 1:38 I prayed for understanding. One pondered deeply, troubled in spirit.

Wayne 1:39 For kindness confounded guilt. We spoke of corruption, of money, and of greed the root of evil.

Wayne 1:40 I prayed they would hear. For actions leave wounds unseen.

Wayne 1:41 I write these things in fear and prayer, for deception lingereth always. Prayer alone sustaineth me.

Wayne 1:42 If any lesson be taken from these pages, let it be this: read the Bible daily, and continue therein all thy days.

Wayne 1:43 For the Scriptures teach us to love, to forgive, to parent, to endure wrath, and to walk as Jesus walked.

Wayne 1:44 He that worketh for the Lord doeth well. He that worketh for himself alone erreth. If thy labor reflecteth God’s compassion, thou doest good.

Wayne 1:45 But if thy labor alloweth none of these, thou servest thyself, and the devil shall name it freedom.

Wayne 1:46 Thus the cycle repeateth, leading many to ruin or despair.

Wayne 1:47 But he that serveth God, planting seeds and pointing others unto Him, doeth good in His sight.

Wayne 1:48 Blessings follow obedience, though trials remain.

Wayne 1:49 Man thinketh himself strong, yet alone he is weak.

Wayne 1:50 Why trust ye the unknown moment, yet doubt the Lord who governeth all moments?

Wayne 1:51 Thou fearest not sudden death, yet doubtest God. Consider this.

Wayne 1:52 My will is that Thy will be done, O Lord.

Wayne 1:53 This is prayer. This is praise. Hineni Here am I.

Wayne 1:54 My will is Thy will be done. Amen.

Wayne 1:55 Wayne Allison August 3, 2025

Wayne 1:56 May this path lead thee unto the Lord, for in Him alone is freedom found.

Wayne 1:57 If the Lord require more of me, Hineni.

Wayne 1:58 He granteth sight and hearing to those who ask in faith.

Wayne 1:59 My sin grieveth Him, and I see it now.

Wayne 1:60 He beareth all pain at once; how small we are.

Wayne 1:61 I remain a learner.

Wayne 1:62 Men made kings and called them gods.

Wayne 1:63 God permitted it for a season.

Wayne 1:64 But He sent His Son, to show what no king could.

Wayne 1:65 Thus Christ Jesus became the King above all kings.

Wayne 1:66 The world’s time faileth; the Lord’s endureth.

Wayne 1:67 Therefore pray in all things, and wait upon the Lord.

Wayne 1:68 Jan 17 2026: Update by Wayne Allison at the fifteenth hour and fifty ninth minute. We are reborn daily, our duty is to do good for the Lord, and spread the gospel daily, as we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

Wayne 1:69 The echo calls of the Lord are upon us. Endure daily and stay faithful.

Wayne 1:70 Brake me in Haste O' Lord, rebuild in your image.

Wayne 1:71 We are falling, and we are continuing to be given grace. We were meant to live in complete harmony, man and beast.

Wayne 1:72 Living in harmony meant we did not kill for food, we ate green with all animals.

Wayne 1:73 Although God may use man, the gift is of God’s doing, through man.

Wayne 1:74 It is the 20th day of the third month. As I sit here thoughtless, struggling to find the next task, unsure of what is true, I pray to the Lord for His words, yet I cannot hear them at this moment.

Wayne 1:75 My mind racing as it does, I ponder: is our testimony designed to help in the end of days? Or after? What will come of the Word when the end is complete?

Wayne 1:76 Among this, a season is bearing down. I pray that the path we are on prospers, and that it provides blessings, for we are in trials that could cost greatly. The world’s money has not blessed us to be secure; our prayers are in the Lord, that we are following the path He has set before me with radical faith.

Wayne 1:77 It is the 14th of May, 2026 AD, a moment of understanding how far I have come.

Wayne 1:78 A strong wind came upon the field, and that which had been set upright began to lean toward destruction. The heart of the servant was troubled, and he cried out softly, “Father, no, please.”

Wayne 1:79 And before fear could take root, the thing that trembled was steadied again, standing firm as though the wind had never touched it.

Wayne 1:80 Then the servant understood: not every hand that holds is seen, and not every rescue arrives with thunder. For sometimes the Father answers in stillness, reminding us that what stands by His grace cannot be moved before its appointed time.

Wayne 1:81 What is good, what is joy? The Lord. He wants you to let go and trust Him.

Wayne 1:82 As I read the words of 1 John 2:16, and the devotional set before me, the Holy Spirit stirred within me. The flesh calls, the eyes desire, and pride rises like a throne built by the world.

Wayne 1:83 Luxury, beauty, and reputation are the garments these temptations wear. Let them fall from your hands.

Wayne 1:84 Spend time daily with the Lord, for what is from the world cannot fill what was made for God.

Wayne 1:85 Tears of joy today, the Lord has graced my heart.

Wayne 1:86

My heart is troubled, for I wrestle with the use of marijuana. I ask the Lord in honesty: Is this pleasing unto You, or is this something I must lay down before You?

Wayne 1:87

Evil hath gripped itself within family and loved ones, and the path they now walk shall be hard. I pray, Lord, be with them and watch over them.

Wayne 1:88

Yet even amidst these things, my soul findeth peace in His name. Though troubles surround me, and though the path before them be difficult, I rest in the Lord, knowing that His hand remaineth upon all things.

Wayne 1:89

"It is written." How my heart longeth for these words, that they might guide my every step. For in them I find correction when I wander, wisdom when I lack understanding, and peace when the world would lead me astray.

Wayne 1:90

As I prepared the daily devotional, I found myself beginning again for the third time. With a smile I said, “Third time is the charm, right Father?” And in my spirit came the reply, “Well, maybe a few more in your case.”

I could not help but laugh, for He was right. How often do I seek perfection in my own strength, when the Lord is teaching patience through repetition? The lesson was not in getting it right the first time, but in remaining willing to begin again. Even in correction, the Lord is kind, and even in my shortcomings, He giveth me reason to smile.

Wayne 1:91

Great tidings reached mine ears this day. One whom I had long counted among the lost hath reached for the Word of the Lord. A friend of many days turned his heart toward Him, and mine own heart was overcome with tears of joy.

Wayne 1:92

With thanksgiving I lifted mine eyes unto heaven and said, "Thank You, Father Almighty, for blessing me with such wondrous news." In that moment I was reminded that no labor done for the Kingdom is ever in vain, for the Lord continueth to seek His sheep, and great is the joy when but one draweth near unto Him.

Wayne 1:93

June 29, 2026: For we are called to live as we were intended, supporting one another with the skills the Lord hath blessed us with. We are stewards of His blessings, owning none of it as our own. He hath placed tools within our hands, gifts within our lives, and provision upon the earth, that we may help build according to His plan.

Wayne 1:94

The Lord hath seen our days before we have walked them, and He knoweth the choices we shall make. Yet in His mercy, He hath laid before us a path that leadeth back unto Him. Therefore let us live as though Eden still calleth to us, before sin divided what God had made whole.

Wayne 1:95

In our great sin we have not only grieved the heart of the Lord, but we have made difficult the work He is doing to draw us home. Before us lie two paths: the way of death and the way of righteousness. Why then do we strive against the very hand that seeketh to save us? The more we resist His will, the more we hinder the work He desireth to accomplish within us.

Wayne 1:96

My thoughts returned unto Mark 1:40–45. The Lord healed with compassion, yet the man, though full of joy, did not obey His instruction. Because of this, the work before the Lord became more difficult, and He could no longer enter the towns openly. I pray that I may not add burden where the Lord calleth for obedience, but that I may walk humbly in the path He hath prepared, trusting that His way is always better than mine.

Wayne 1:97

The Lord hath appointed unto us a day of rest. And I wondered within my heart: What if that were the only day upon which comfort and rest were freely received, apart from seeking Him? Would we not then spend the other six days drawing near unto Him with greater longing? Yet why should we wait for a single day, when the Lord inviteth us to seek His presence every day? Let not my heart be content with resting in Him but once, but let it hunger daily for the peace that is found only in His presence.

Wayne 1:98

It is written that we are to draw near unto the Lord, to seek Him, and in Him we shall find rest. Therefore let my heart not seek rest first, but the Lord Himself. For the nearer I draw unto Him, the more my soul findeth the peace that the world cannot give.
