God in Everyday : Joseph Rochefort

“Almost Intuitively see the bigger picture”


 Rochefort had the ability to take vast amounts of decoded data and almost intuitively see the bigger picture. Even more amazingly, he had an uncanny ability to predict what the Japanese would do next.

He proved it on April 27, 1942, when his team decrypted Japanese coded messages asking for navigational charts of the Aleutian Islands (off Alaska). Days later, more decoded messages revealed the Japanese had requested charts of the Hawaiian Islands. The Aleutians were a given, but which of the Hawaiian Islands was next?

In May, Rochefort predicted it would be the Midway Atoll. Everyone else was skeptical, but Fleet Admiral Chester William Nimitz (Commander in Chief of the US Pacific Fleet) supported Rochefort.

And it takes an Afro Hollywood American Actress (basically everything he is not) who maybe also in that shoe as well to wake him up, gave him the strength to be by himself and with himself and be himself. And what she saw in his life reflects hers in a very different context but the essence is the same. Wrong time wrong place wrong person wrong family. It’s not so much she took him away but by being with her awaken a courage that’s always b

1. The Secret Place :  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1. What a powerful verse. The secret to abiding in the shadow of the Almighty is to dwell in the Secret Place ! How simple is that !  2.

The Spirit : " and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power," 1 Cor 2:4 If anyone can enter the Secret Place and have the Substance and In the Spirit, he will be operating and living on a very high plane of living as promised.
