Heidi and I continue to take the Gospel to the far corners of the world. Thirty years ago I preached my first message when I was 12. And this year is my 21st year of full time ministry. What somewhat amazes me is that I am still doing exactly what I desired to do thirty years ago. I still remember God’s voice in my mind at age 13 “…My son, I want you to become an evangelist.”
In addition to holding revival services in churches here in the United States, we continue in our quest to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations, and this time it was to the Dominican Republic.
There, we held three “Massive Miracle Campaigns,” in which God met many with the “Miracle Ministry of Signs & Wonders” as I titled two books I wrote on these subjects. Although these campaigns were smaller than some of our other campaigns, multitudes showed up to hear the Word and receive from God.
(Note: I combined these two books under the title “Miracles for the Multitudes” © and I hope to have it in print soon. In addition to my book on “The End Time Revival and Great Awakening” © I also wrote my greatest book ever, “The Manifestation of the Indwelling Christ,” © which contains the core truth of my life, and what I believe is the message that must reach the Body of Christ. I still have some editing to do on it but hope to have it in print very soon, as funds allow. I also wrote “The Wonder of Jesus” © and one on Financial Provision.)
I prayed for the healing of untold numbers of people in the Dominican Republic—the blind, deaf, mute, lame, handicapped, infirm and oppressed. I don’t think any blind or lame were completely healed, but there were many other miracles, such as some completely deaf people that could hear and mute people that begun to speak.
I wish I could say this one lady jumped out of her wheelchair, healed and running around with no restraints whatsoever, but I can honestly say I could see God begin to heal her. She had been completely lame from the waist down. I mean there was no feeling or any movement whatsoever. After praying for her, I raised her out of her wheelchair with the help of a couple of Master’s Commission students from the 1st Assembly of God in Asheboro NC. Well, we witnessed the healing power of God in three stages on her: (1) She was able to stand for about a second, which she could not do before, (2) then, when we sat her back down, her one leg shot up and begun to “vibrate” under the power of God, and (3) when the MC’s continued to pray for her, the other leg shot up and did the same thing. The lady was amazed! I give God the glory for things like this, because His healing power continues long after we are gone.
For example, after I prayed for a lady in Africa, she too could miraculously stand up but could not walk. However, within a week she was walking—after we had left! Perhaps the Lord did it like that so that they could remember it was God, not man, who had healed her…
Also, another young man was delivered by the power of God after manifesting and different voices spoke through him. He was very intimidating and violent in the beginning, but after God delivered him, he was as meek as a lamb, as the tears flowed down his cheeks so beautifully.
The Lord has also been doing great miracles here in the United States. We have seen several people healed in some wonderful ways here, such as from deafness, arthritis, pain, etc. In another instance a lady was healed when we removed a brace from her leg. This was truly an incredible and notable miracle.
In another revival in Delaware, a pastor’s mother was in unspeakable pain due to arthritis and other issues. When I asked her to come forward for prayer she could hardly do so. It took her the longest time with the greatest effort to come forward. Then, as we prayed, the power of God hit her and she took off! Oh and did she take off! She started walking up and down with great speed. We all knew that God had done a miracle! Our God is truly good. He wants to save, heal and deliver.
These miracles that are done through faith in His Name, serve as a confirmation of the Message of the glorious Atoning Death & Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
PS: Anthony (12), Rebekah (10), Timothy (6) and Trey (4) are all doing well! We all love God and each other...
