| The Beginning of WUAS by Larry Wilson
As we approach the end of 2025, I am reminded of Larry Wilson’s testimony of how Wake Up started. I found a letter Larry wrote in 2000. Wow! It’s always good to remember the inspiration and work of the Holy Spirit and how he can utilize our efforts, but does not need us to accomplish His goals. Here is a portion of Larry’s story. Diana The Beginning of WUAS Larry began conducting seminars for the public in 1986. The seminars were the result of 15 years of personal Bible study and investigation. At the time he began to conduct seminars, he was employed by a large hospital in the Dayton, Ohio area. As opportunities for seminars grew, he eventually resigned his “day” job and devoted himself full time to promoting the end-time message, which was unlike anything he had ever heard. Larry smiles when he says that he has not had any dreams, visions or encounters with apparitions. On the contrary, he affirms that his prophetic conclusions are based on the Bible and the Bible alone. When it comes to matters of faith in God, he accepts no authority other than the Bible. When asked what prompted him to leave the security of a full time position, Larry says the Lord stirred him to begin sharing his understanding of Bible prophecy in 1986. For a couple years, he intensely questioned if the stirring within was a calling from the Lord or a product of his imagination. Finally, Larry prayerfully offered himself to the Lord’s service with an agreement that is still binding between them today. The agreement is: “Lord, if you are really calling me to this task, then I will resign my job. I will serve as You direct, but with the understanding that You will provide the necessary funds to make this possible. To ensure that you have called me to this work, I will not solicit or appeal for donations, offerings or contributions. The cattle on a thousand hills belong to you, Lord. So, as long as you make it possible for WUAS to meet expenses, I will do my best to promote and share the wonderful things You have allowed me to discover in your Word.” Twelve years later, WUAS is still promoting the gospel and the soon return of Jesus. The bills at WUAS are paid on time and the lights at WUAS still burn brightly. Printing presses and tape duplicators are producing more materials every week! “God honors faith,” Larry often said. Shirley, his wife of thirty years, firmly agrees, “We continue to see the sustaining power of God in this ministry.” To meet living expenses during the first years of WUAS’ existence, Shirley worked full time while Larry wrote the book, The Revelation of Jesus. |
