MY BIOGRAPHY |
||
|
On December 16, 1945 I was born as the second child of my family which grew to an increase of five over a few short years. My first home was outside Fairfield, Alabama.
We moved to another community not far away called Sylvan Springs, where I started school in the first grade. Later attending Pleasant Grove Jr. High School and eventually ended up in Walker County where I went to High School and never got to attend but one year because I had to go to work to help support my family due to my father’s illness.
Looking back over my shoulder, I remember the good old days as a youngster and attending several revivals, open air and gospel meetings that my family carried me to. This I imagine must have had some more influence in my life. I do recall being called out as a youth and was prophesied over at many meetings. Later in life the Lord, confirmed my being a called out prophet from my mother’s womb, by asking me to think back to those heavily anointed men or women of God operating in the gift’s during my early years. Later on Satan tried to cause me to doubt just that very thing.
Consequently I do believe during my tender years growing up as a child of two decent parents that were morally sound but spiritually undone had a bearing on my life to a degree, however, it went much deeper than just good parents. Even though they weren’t saved at the time we were going around to all those events.
I remember as I look back over my shoulder how I realized very early that I was different than most of my friends. Mainly when I smelled trouble brewing, I found myself being a mediator or go between to try and settle a dispute or fist fight before someone got hurt. If I couldn’t talk my way out of a fight and had to swing back I could actually feel as if my arm was being held back by some strange force that even though I would try to throw a punch I just could never put my weight into it. A better description is I was cut out to be a peacemaker not realizing that it all was contributed to a call in my life to preach the Gospel.
It was only a few years ago even after nearly thirty years of ministry that God reminded me that he had called me as a prophet from my mother’s womb. In essence god never had to beat me or send heavy punishment to cause me to be convicted of my sins but his drawing was sent to me through an entirely different way. He drew me to him by his kindness and was so good to me I had no other choice but to want to serve a God this good. In other words he heaped so many blessings up on me I succumbed to his love and gave my life to him. It was like blessings that passed all understandings.
Now at age 58, I find myself trying to show him just how much I appreciate him shielding me and my family from this cruel world. I consider my ministry as one of superior flexibility and have seen many, notable miracles in my nearly 30 years as an evangelist. My ministry has been as far away as the United Kingdom, where I was invited to preach for a month back in 1998. In several churches seeing the move of God mightily even to the point one pastor drug me into his office, set me down after the very first service where he got on the phone and called back here in the USA to open doors for me. The heartbeat of my ministry is defiantly in the streets though. It’s there where I have seen some of the greatest moves of God. After all God told me to stop fishing out of a tub (church) and get into the market place (street) where the sinners and hurting and helpless, homeless are. One lady was delivered of cancer that was widespread over her entire body and only had six months to live according to her doctors. Another lady much older had a cast on her arm and got healed, went home and cut it off and never had to wear it anymore. Praise God to him be all the glory. For several years I have seen numerous healing and deliverance as well as souls saved from this sin sick society. For some time I had a TV program that was televised over a local station here in my home town of Jasper, Alabama . In the past I also have had several radio broadcast.Now, currently I find myself living and enjoying the best days of my entire ministry, reaping the benefits of a loving and rewarding God. Most folks today that are living for the Lord will agree that this generation is going to be the generation to usher in the greatest manifestation of salvation, deliverance hat has ever come to mankind. Truly this is harvest time, supernatural feats like no man ,woman, boy or girl has ever witness in the history of the world is right upon us. Yes this is the end time Saints. Praise God! Ps: Thanks be, to God that I am counted worthy to be a partaker by his magnificent grace.
