The Final Sprint Board of directors

Ricardo O'Kane CEO;  I was born in Manhattan New York 1962. Family came to Los Angeles for Scientology when I was 5 years old. (I quickly outgrew it) Grew up in mid-Wilshire area. Later in life I was diagnosed with what seems to be a classic case of attention deficit disorder. It explained a lot of the way I experienced life growing up. I had minimal discipline from my parents since my dad Richard H O'Kane was kind of a beatnick free thinking guy who started the first healthfood restaurant in Manhattan on the lower east side. It was macrobiotic Japanese style quizine.

Martial arts was to become my outlet to keep me focused. I was not a quick study in school so academics were difficult except for reading and writing. I climbed to the top of the world kickboxing ranks from the early 80's to early 90's but also battled with addictive tendencies. 

One day in 1987 while daydreaming on the sidewalk outside of the gym in Van Nuys Ca the Lord revealed His Glory to me. A glorious presence shone down on me and I was overwhelmed with tears. Not long afterward I was given a new testament and when I got to Matthew 5:3 the beatitudes, it struck me, no wonder this Jesus guy was so famous. I was delighted with his gracious words. Mere humans would not be able to make this story up...  

That began a slow but definite journey going from slavery to sonship. It took decades. I started having a series of encounters beginning in 2013 that all pointed to an end time purpose. I believe I am called to play certain roles in facilitating the end time harvesting of souls. My desire is to reveal God's glorious purposes for His creation and take to part in Jesus mission to save humanity from its sin and turn it to righteousness.

Who am I and how did I get here? Much of the world cannot give a definate answer to this perplexing question. If Elon Musk cannot give the right answer how is it for the rest of the world? Besides my discovery about God I found some other answers about personality. When I was in my 20's a doctor gave me some clues about my behavior that pointed to ADD. I read the book "Driven to Distraction" and discovered this was a common thing. There are some positive aspects of ADD like having a dreamy introspective creative side and negative ones like distractibility and impulsivity. I have a very curious explorer side and have discovered a number of interesting things because of it. It explained much of my behavior patterns and it was actually liberating to learn that my life experiences were a common thing and I was not alone. 

In 2014 I discovered the Redemptive Gifts of Individuals. It's a revelation teaching by prophetic teacher Arthur Burk on what he named the 7 Redemptive gifts of individuals from Romans 12:4. I was clearly a Redemptive Gift of Mercy which is the 7th gift and parallels other lists of 7's in the scriptures. This was a huge discovery for me as I learned my behavior patterns had a redemptive purpose designed by God specifically for the end times. It would take too much space to explain it here so I put the teachings on the Arthur Burk page. Below is an introductory grid to the "Redemptive Gifts Of Individuals" to help you find your Redemptive Gift. There is also a link with more Arthur Burk teachings on the "Missions Resources" page.

Another discovery about my identity was with the Briggs Meyer 16 personality types. I was skeptical but took the test and discovered I was the "INTP" Logician. https://www.16personalities.com/intp-personality  To my surprise it described me so accurately it was spooky. How could they know so much about me? I think this can be a great tool to understand how to function better and live harmoniously with other people. 

Of course I hope you already know that I understand that my true identity is a son of the most high. I was a slave to sin but he who the Son sets free is free indeed... My ministerial gift is from Ephesians 1:17-18 ...the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation... ...the eyes of your heart being enlightened...  I believe there is a last days ministry type that "prepares the way of the Lord" when a change of dispensation is about to take place. It's called the "Elijah Forerunner" from Malachi 4:5-6, Malachi 3:1, Matthew 11:14, Matthew 11:11-15. I believe there will be a company of Forerunners who will prepare the way for the second coming of Christ by preaching the "the right ways of the Lord" this is the end time ministry paradigm that I identify with.

My desire is to help people discover their calling and purpose through the one true God and learn to be a son or daughter who Glorifies the Lord in many ways. My purpose is to set captives free by preaching a liberating and empowering message centered on the cross of Christ. I desire revelation, reformation and revival bringing an "Elijah Forerunner" message. Luke 1:17  ...and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” 

Besides that, I have a few things I am passionate about. Among them are: Deep and hidden things; Daniel 2:22, Proverbs 25:2, the mysteries of God's creation, Colossians 1:26,        1 Timothy 3:16, secret space programs and technologies, Daniel 12:4, new revelation Isaiah 43:19, 48:6 and dynamic sports. Particularly fighting sports (Karate Muay Thai Kickboxing - Boxing) of which I spent my early life striving to be a world class fighter. Did you know God is into Mixed Martial Arts? he is a trainer Psalm 144:1, he had a great right hand, Exodus 15:6, practiced wrestling with humans and was an expert in leglocks? Genesis 32:23-25... I basically succeeded in becoming a world class fighter by pursuing it intensely and learned a lot about elite level skill building which I now anticipate will cross over into ministry... 

My ADD tendencies made school difficult for me because of my attention span and didn't do well except in reading and writing. I also journeyed through a drug and alcohol habit which didn't help and I nearly lost my life in a couple dark nights of the soul episodes. I gradually overcame and look back on how the Lord was with me to eventually get me to where I am now. Alive and still healthy. 

Here is my sport fighting history for those who are interested. https://www.mongoosefightsystem.com/

I have had the opportunity to train with some of the best fighters in the world. It seems God often uses our secular vocations to prepare us for ministry. In a similar way I have also come across a few of the most unusual prophetic ministers I think the world has ever seen. I am fascinated by their insights and I marvel at the unusual "new things" the Lord reveals through them. (Isaiah 48:6)  

How it all started; God the father first revealed Himself to me in an "out of the clear blue sky" experience in 1987. The Lord suddenly revealed His glory to me while I was standing on the sidewalk in Van Nuys Ca outside our kickboxing gym. I looked up above the horizion and felt a presence begin to shine down. I suddenly knew God was real and He loved me. I didnt know his name or that he even had one yet. Shortly afterward I was introduced to the new testament and I was both delighted and perplexed with Jesus words when I got to the sermon on the mount, Matthew 5:3-12. The Gospel was my new delight. 

Later during the 1994 Toronto/Brownsville revival I was around when it came to the Valley Vineyard in Reseda California. I experienced the Holy Laughter phenomenon. Around that same time I was introduced to a very intense Apostolic teacher Robert Cathers who claimed to pray 8 hours a day. An apostolic and prophetic foundation was being laid for me. That Church (Living Faith Christian Church) hosted prophetic ministers such as prophet Kim Clement, Lance Walnau, Ian Clayton and other spiritual power players.  In 2013 God began an upgrade in me through a series of prophetic encounters. It started with a shuddering lightning bolt in the Spirit that woke me up from an afternoon nap. God was highlighting something. 

"The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning" Psalm 29:7.   It awaken me to a number of prophetic insights.  A couple times I heard an alarm clock ring when I never set one, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:4,  

Another time I heard a gunshot; Hebrews 12:1 ...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us... 

The end time race has started and those who run the last leg of the race are the ones that run the hardest to the finish line. 

I realised that God was pointing me to a series of end time themes. I heard knocking on my door, God was addressing the "end time" Laodicean Church age Revelation 3:20.  The Lord sovereignly guided me through a kind of schooling of the prophets through various prophetic teachings.

My understanding of the prophetic grew but it seemed I operated differently than what many of the prophetic schools were teaching. I did not have visions or words of knowledge but I was drawn to, "The Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation" as described in Ephesians 1:17-18. 

God revealed His heart to me in that first encounter in 1987 and gave me a sense of what really is important to Him. He wants us to understand His ways.  Jeremiah 9:23

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight... Love brings the greatest levels of revelation. Philippians 1:9

Continually increasing or abounding in the love of God leads to the deepest kind of spiritual understanding. I am passionate about the Word of God and a purpose has been built into me to present it pure and without guile.
