Interview with Twe Stephens

Published 2013-10-09.
When did you first start writing?
About eight years ago. I never wanted to be a writer. I was doing bible study with one of my friends and she asked a question that changed my life. She asked ‘What are you going to do with all this knowledge that the Lord’s given you?’ I looked at her speechless. That question haunted my spirit so I prayed about it – and the Lord answered.

The Lord’s answer was to teach the totality of his history in a biblically based format, from billions of years before the birth of mankind, everything in-between, to the final eternity, to address issues the system refuses to touch and educate why God did, does, and will do what he will. Written for those who’ve never picked up the bible, that they’d know the Story of the God called Yahaveh, The Holy One, The One; to reveal within its simplicity why we’re in this evil world, become saved and believe. I desire to open eyes and elevate the paradigm shift that God answers all questions – and drive them to study deeper for themselves.
What's the story behind your latest book?
God willing, my second novel of the trilogy, The Universes of God 2: The Chronicles of Jesus Christ will be out in paperback January 2014. However, the digital edition is already on this site. You are there to experience the extermination of the Giants off the earth, the pandemonium and anguish of the crucifixion, God ’ s nuclear vengeance on the Pharisees, and continuing where the first novel left off.
You’ll sweat through the trials of Abram and his adventures, through the forty-year death sentence of aimless wandering, and the wars in the Promised Land. The novel showcases the rationale of God, his plan, the who, what, and why of the crucifixion - ending with the budding sect called Christianity - the revelation that destroyed the law of the jungle that the world sweltered under, replacing it with the knowledge of the brotherhood of mankind, and the charitable empathy that changed the world forever.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Every novel I write expands my knowledge because of the tedious research done to make it as true as possible – for I am accountable to the Lord. Each novel expands my consciousness and ministers to me for it is written through the Holy Spirit. I write with a different goal, I write for treasures in Heaven and obedience to the calling of the Lord. For the trampled truth, for the evil certainty that's coming, for the billions of my brothers and sisters that I don't know - I write; not for money or fame, but for His glory and for people like you, and to those who've known since they were children, there had to be more to God’s Word than they'd been taught. And that is the favorite thing about my writings, that my efforts will be rewarded in the next life to come - by giving the reader the tools necessary to live their lives in spiritual truth and understanding,
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
Many have never heard some of the biblical stories in my novels because the system doesn’t accept the Apocrypha, due to the canonization process of the Catholic Church. So therefore, the average Christian would say that’s not in the bible – therefore it’s a lie. I have nothing against that church for it does enormous good; but it boggles my imagination theologians would throw out major parts of scripture because of some meeting held thousands of years ago within an obviously corrupt system. The majority has usually been wrong, willfully corrupt, bowing to political, pagan, and insidious secular forces. Obviously, there’s poetic license in any fictional story, but the precepts and events of my novels are based truths that were censored for thousands of years. The antiquity of mankind, the civilization called Heaven, the motivations, rationale, and the emotions of God are so twisted that it diverts functional understanding of the nature of this world and the real reason why we exist in this evil world. This was definitely not the vision our Lord envisioned for his children - for life was never supposed to be unfair.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
This is that which brings me joy - to showcase the truth that's been denied. Though it seems impossible to believe, the religious secular in tandem have purposely slimed the wall of truth with traditions that makes void the Word of God, by destroying or corrupting the simplicity of his personal love letter to you: the bible.

The truths of God and history are so intentionally muddied, it makes it almost impossible to ask intelligent questions and get intelligent answers to anything spiritual. And the system adamantly denies that God gives answers to those that seek him. However, there is a method to their madness, for they desire you to believe though the world willfully bows to Satan that the church is immutably infallibly immune. And none seriously ponders the suffocating prevalence of biblical illiteracy rampant, though there’s literally a church on every corner.

No one questions why two hundredths of the human population [under 15 million] would rule the world and own almost half its total wealth; this race celebrated designated as the Chosen of God in a million pulpits, despite the fact they’ve never lifted a finger for his gospel, despite the fact the Lord said over and over, his Chosen would be as the sands of the sea and the stars of the sky: absolutely uncountable…

The sad answer is, preaching is done purely to accentuate emotions, motivate, and inspire. That’s the continuing problem, for there exists too much preaching and not enough teaching. Isn’t there much more to His Word than worship, blind faith, salvation, tithing, seed harvesting, and baptism. Most will never study or seek understanding, but count on the system that Jesus amply warned about to mentor and educate, refusing to independently learn for themselves.

Worship is absolutely essential, but his house must be more than a toe-tapping feel good concert, more than one verse read and blowing hot air for an hour, more than jumping up and down, more than rituals, dogma, or organizational policy: more than shouting louder than your neighbor and elevating worship above the knowledge God aspires for all his children to possess. If you never grow, you’ll be in spiritual kindergarten forever – and the blame righteously begins in organized leadership and the pulpit, for the traditions of man have trampled underfoot the Word of God with outright lies, damnable traditions, organizational and denominational policy, and committees making corporate decisions.

One of hundreds of traditions that overthrow the word of God is the case of Mary Magdalene. Inthe sixth century, she suddenly became a prostitute because of a sermon given by Pope Gregory the Great, in which he confused her with the fallen woman described in Luke chapter seven. Because of his infallibility as Pope, his error became Church doctrine despite the facts, and all the other churches thereafter lockstep propagated his glaring error. Another example is Christmas, the Adam and Eve story, the flood, the Antichrist, and hundreds of other willful errors taught uplifted truth almighty in millions of seminaries: to make each generation more biblically illiterate until solid understanding becomes a why and a wonder - an unsearchable unknown perhaps theory. This system turns billions from the only path that brings eternal life – because they see glaring hypocrisy, which is self-evident to any thinking rational as a billion watt billboard flashing something doesn’t make sense here

Think for yourself, study for yourself, and use common sense. Sharp and discerning minds have always been the Devil’s enemy, for blind religious consensus is always the mandatory dogma of lockstep denominationalism trumpeted by the new Pharisees – nothing has ever changed in religious leadership for thousands of years. You will finally learn what the Church refuses to teach, and will understand the hidden purpose of evil, why Jesus chose such an unthinkable sacrifice, why he chose to die for you when he didn’t really have to, and to even why you were born into this evil world. You’ll discover you ’ re more than you’ve ever thought, older than the stars and galaxies, and more precious than all the living things of the earth combined. And more importantly, there is still a powerful someone out there that still loves you endlessly…

For the Lord and the trampled truth, for the evil certainty that's coming, for the billions of my brothers and sisters that I don't know - I write; not for money or fame, but for His glory and people like you, and to those who've known since they were children, there had to be more to GOD'S WORD than they'd been taught. And that’s why I call myself a different kind of Christian Author…
What are you working on next?
The last of the Universes of God Trilogy, The Universes of God 3: The Chronicles of the Antichrist, which I ’ m currently working on, will see the real Anti-Christ that will deceive the earth, Jesus’ triumphant return, the millennium civilization, and ends at the third and final Universe of God - The Eternity. This last novel should be out in 2015( http://www.scribd.com/doc/128167351/How-art- thou-fallen-from-heaven-O-Lucifer-son-of-the-morning …). It covers the spiritual and the secular, the generational methodology that reorganized evil into a formidable called The One World Order.

This epic covers the history of the nations, the secret Council of Churches, the reign of the Antichrist, and expounds holy prophecy that’ll show what, where, how, and who will happen in the future – and even unto the right now. This novel focuses on the Synagogue of Satan and their prophesied destruction. They are the only race Jesus warned the world to beware of - who are singularly responsible for all the pervasive evil , suffering , and wars on this planet. The scope of The Universes of God 3: The Chronicles of the Antichrist, despite the title, paints the definitive picture of God ’s glory, justness, and esoteric endgame plan - and showcases the jewel of great price all Creation wails endlessly for – the destruction of evil forever!
Who are your favorite authors?
Dune by Frank Herbert. The scope of the book was thrilling, and he is one of my favorite authors. He has the ability to actually think that you are there, when you read his novels. Plus I am a huge fan of science fiction and it seeps into my writings – the thing that I call probable reality.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
My family, loved ones and necessity - and the Lord for who I am foremost accountable
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Either in research or with family
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes it was called the FAMU Virgin. It was a short story about a woman's trials in maintaining her chastity and being Christian, as a teenager in the world we live in today.
What is your writing process?
I do the research and let the Lord and the Holy Spirit guide me in what direction to take.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
Jack London - the Call of the Wild. I was a child when I read that, but that story was one of the best ever
How do you approach cover design?
I try to make the cover reflect graphically the story of the novel
