My Testamony
I was saved at age thirty-one,received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost
one year later.I asked God to give me the genuine baptisim.I didn't
want that which looked improper to me,the coaxing,long drawnout
prompting with with gestures kind.I entered the Pentacostal church
In 1974,prayed to God for the "genuine" Baptisim,He told me to "wait".
One word I have become very familiar over the years.
I received the Baptisim of the Holy Ghost,in a small Pentacostal church,
In a blink as you go thru town, of London,California.Situated in the middle
of the cotton fields,just south of Fresno,California.I spoke in Tongues for
three hours,with no one prompting me,so I know it's "genuine".Since it
is "Genuine" to me,I neither promote,nor deny the use of Tongues in a
believers Spirirual life.All I know is that I am edified within me,and I
understand in my spirit,that I speak directly to God through the Holy
Spirit,in my heart. I have spent these last twenty-seven years,walking
with my God,through many trials,and troubles.I in all of them I waited,to
see "All things work together for good to them who love the Lord,and
for those called according to His purpose".I know that God teaches,in the
midst of pain and suffering.I know I could do no less than lay down my life
for Christ,should He ask. I do not just speak the Word,I live it.I have a
good sense of humour,as I believe my God does also.I have worked many
times in concert with the Holy Spirit.I believe Love to be the very nature
of God,and that Obedience is one of His most important precepts.I move
by my Faith,which God gives a same measure to everyone.It is what you
Choose to do with that measure of Faith is what creates a hunger for
God. My wife went home to the Lord,on may 24,1994,one day before her
forty-fifth birthday.She suffered extreme severe pain due to Bone Marrow
Cancer,and her passing brought the blessing,of "all things work together"
In that the good that came through her passing,brought her instant release,
from her pain,and she will never suffer again.My son a week before she
passed away,was admitted to the same hospital with JuvenileDiabetes,
and God saw to the needs of both of those I loved, that day.My son age 24 has
found his personal relationship,with his God,but not before Doing his
drugs,and experiencing victory in Jesus by renewing his faith in his God.
My daughter,21yrs,I being drawn back to Jesus,but it is slower
going for her,as she has issues with God in relation to her mothers death.
I am more than a father to them now,I am their Spiritual mentor,and my
name is "daddy" because this is me in the last years of my life.I have
worn,many labels for God,I have been around long enough to.What I value
the most for all my life pursuits,is destroying the selfishness within me,
Which is taught everyone from infancy by being in this world,until the
acceptance of Jesus Christ as a personal savior.Then doing my part,in
asking,seeking,and knocking throughout my lifetime,and striving for
Christlikeness until He takes me in the translation of the church,or I
take a dirt nap and beat you all there. In His most Gracious Love,
Shalom, daddy xxx |

| Loretta,my dear friend,I would like to share one thing with you.I have been unable to attend church for these last ten years.My health does not permit it.Altho I know the sincerity of your heart,the pursuit of God and his love,and ways,does not depend upon going to church.You are a valuable asset to this community,what you read,what you post,endears you to others.The search for God is a matter of ones heart,not what works one does to pleasing Him.He wants you heart my friend,not sacrafices for him.Your relationship with him is the most important one you'll ever have,as it ends in Eternity with Him. Just give Him your heart,that's all he wants. Love daddy xxx. |
