Roger Stevens - England
Roger Stevens is a long-standing friend of Douglas, having known him for over 20 years. Roger was with Douglas when Douglas received the gift of healing and has followed his development and progress over the years. Even so, Roger remains somewhat skeptical about “all this stuff”.
A couple of years ago, Roger and Douglas met for a social lunch. Roger was excited. His engineering company had been doing very well, and he told Douglas that he was going to invest in two new machines within the next few months. This implied a significant capital investment, but as Roger said, he had some long-standing regular clients and business was booming. Much to Roger’s surprise, Douglas told him not to buy two machines, but only one, as there was going to be a downturn in his business and he would lose clients. That is not quite what he expected his friend’s response to be over a friendly lunch, and at first he did not take it seriously. Douglas persisted. “Only buy one machine, “ he said, “at the end of the year, one of your major contracts will not be renewed.”
As he drove away, Roger was torn. After all, he knew the figures, he could see the trends, he knew his business better than Douglas. On the other hand, he knew Douglas and the accuracy of his readings. After much consideration, he invested in only one machine. A few months later, at the end of the year, one of his major clients told him that they would not be renewing their contract because of corporate cut-backs and, during the first quarter of the following year, a falling economy meant the loss of several other clients. By his timely warning, Douglas had saved him hundreds of thousands of pounds.
