My Testimony

I remember at the age of ten years old I was only going to a church
that was not so connected with Christ, however I love Sunday school
and dislike Sunday service. I love to hear stories about Jesus, and I
dislike the dry up sermons and worship of Sunday service. Above all of
this the Lord's hand was upon my life.
Very soon a day came around ten years old that the eyes of my heart
were open to Jesus Christ and I called upon him, ask Him to forgive me
of all my sins. Then there was a change in my life and the Holy Spirit
came into my bedroom and enters me, and I begun to speak in the Holy
Spirit. And from that day forth I began to pray unto the Lord everyday
before I when to sleep.
I remember when I was fourteen years old while walking home from
school. I heard a voice saying to me Minister My Word, I heard this
voice more then once that day. Those words were burning in my heart
and I kept on hearing those words Minister My Word. I know that I was
being called into the ministry. In addition, I began to call out to
the Lord for almost three years.
I remember when I was sixteen years old. God open a door for me to
enter into fellowship at a Spirit-filled Church and the fire of God
came into my life. From that day forth I begun to minister His word to
whom ever I came across.
However, there were those in the church that didn?t like seeing young
people preach the Word. So church life was like hell. Moreover I begun
to call out to the Lord, Seek to know Him, Love Him and service Him. I
study the Bible day after day. At that time there was no good teaching
at all in the church just people going around putting out the fire of
those who were on fire for Christ.
I remember in 1991 while in pray at home. Seeking the will of God for
my life. Then the Lord spoke to me, and give me a vision for my life
and I had a supernatural visitation from the Lord Jesus Christ and He
laid His holy hands upon me and said I have giving you power. From
that day forth the Bible, the Word of God came alive and the Holy
Spirit begun to teach me the Word. In addition, I was giving a
prophetic anointing, and begun to haves visions almost everyday and I
would have many visions of Jesus and angels. Apart from that, me and
another person of prayer begun to meet together almost every night to
pray through the night hours for souls to come know the Lord this
prayer union lasted for some time and some years. During those prayer
times the Lord give visions and prophecy.
In 1992 I when to Bible College for a year however, there was no
salvation there only religious spirits and no Holy Spirit. While there
I spent allot of time in pray and the Word.
In 1993 a door of ministry open and enter into ministry. I serve with
two men of God in two ministries until 1997 when God lead me and two
other ministers to begin Supplication International Ministries. Also at
that time we begun having meetings and form a local church out of a
home and name this fellowship "Communion Tabernacle."
In 1999 I was lead to take a break from Communion Tabernacle and when
into a two year college. So our last service was on January 1st. New
Years Day, while at College I study fire fighting I believe through
this I was receiving training from the Lord for future missionary and
apostolic work.
Beside, the Lord gives me dream about an open door for ministry. Later
that open door was called the Internet. I begun to use the tool called
the Internet as a way to minister around the world and touch the Body
of Christ. I've met many wonderful Christians and ministers of the
Gospel from around the world. Almost every month for some time people
from ten nations or more would visit the S.I.M. Web Site. During these
few years online S.I.M. published over 700 articles that have want
around the world. In addition, God lead us to establish an
international prayer ministry that is made up with prayer people from
around the world to pray for nations, cities and people groups named
"Prayer Force International". Moreover, God lead us to establish
ministry to bring many Christians from many Christian groups from
around the word together Named "City Church International". Beside,
we would lead to establish online roundtable named "Apostles
Roundtable" to bring together apostles and prophets to rise up the
body of Christ to fulfill her destiny in Christ. Beyond this we
establish Marketplace Church to minister to Christians in the
marketplace, and we establish Seven Thunders a ministry that ministers
on the end time church, and we also establish Omaha Phenomenon to pray
and prophecy words over Omaha Nebraska USA. Praise the Lord Jesus
Christ!
In the summer of 2000 I went to New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington D.C. to pray over these cities and rest in the Lord, also
at that same time I went to Tampa Florida which by now have been there
three times now to pray and rest in the Lord.
In the fall of 2001 The Lord place on my heart to move from Grand
Forks, North Dakota to Omaha Nebraska. The Lord has place Omaha on
heart and I've been praying for Omaha since 1991 and visited Omaha a
few times to pray there. Now Omaha will be my home for life.
Apart from that, by the end of 2001 The Lord lead a woman of God who
would be my wife. I've been praying for a wife since I was sixteen
years old, and when I was in Bible College Holy Spirit said to me I
have granted your prayer and giving you a wife. No longer pray for a
wife instead pray for your wife. In the summer of 2002 I got married
to this anointed woman of God.
Furthermore, this testimony is to help those who stand with us and
those who want to connect to us. This is only the beginning of my life
and ministry. Stay turned to hear more good things from Lord in my
life and ministry. To Christ be all the glory.
