Delores Hillsman Harris learned teaching skills as a mathematics teacher in a public school. She later served twenty-eight years in the United States Air Force and retired as a lieutenant colonel. She had several real-life encounters with the Holy Spirit while stationed in Germany, and her faith, knowledge, and trust in the Holy Spirit grew as her relationship with Him deepened. Over the years, He made His presence known again by intervening as she danced during a church worship service with a streamer in her hand and continued to use flags in worship.
