State Bishop of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship of South Carolina and founding Pastor of Tabernacle of Praise Full Gospel Church located in York, South Carolina. My spiritual background lies in the traditional Baptist denomination. I accepted Christ at age 10 and grew up in the church where my parents and most of my ten siblings are still members. However, during my college years, I had the opportunity to
attend the Bible Way Church of Atlas Road in Columbia, SC where Bishop AC Jackson was the pastor. It was there I was introduced to the deeper things of God. Later on, while in Seminary in Atlanta, GA, I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Attempting to remain in the traditional church, I was not encouraged to stir up the gift that was inside me & it laid dormant for quite some time. While pastoring, experiencing defeat in my life, and watching my members
experience defeat in their lives, I realized there had to be more. I had been teaching that once a person was saved, he/she had received the Holy Ghost and there was no second work of grace that they need to seek. Seeing
the devastation in my own and other people's lives, and seeing the way people who were actually spirit-filled and flowing in the gifts of the Spirit were being blessed, I changed that teaching and began teaching that a person not only needed to be born again but also needed the baptism of the Holy Ghost. To say the least, this caused an uproar in the traditional church where I was pastoring. Coupled with that, as I began to flow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and was teaching this to my people, I realized that we needed a Fellowship of people who were flowing in the Holy Ghost.
This was not happening in the traditional Baptist Association and Convention we were members of. The Lord led me to the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship under the leadership of Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr. the response by the leaders in the church, Association, and Convention was that I had committed heresy and was in a backslidden state, although none of them tried to restore me the biblical way. Their response was to launch a campaign to run me out of town.
Of course, I am still in town. The Lord led me to leave the church where I was, a process that actually had been revealed to me approximately a year and a half before the separation took place, and start the ministry which He named Tabernacle of Praise. We also continued our membership in the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International.
Coming from a traditional Baptist background and being trained in a liberal Seminary there were still some things that I was leery of. One of them was prophecy. I believed that the gift was real because it was a gift of the Holy Spirit. However, I had seen so much misuse and so many strange things happen that I was leery of the person who called him or herself a prophet. I also had the experience of a "prophet" who joined the church where I had previously pastored. I discovered he was there for the intent of promoting himself. He had never had a good relationship with a pastor and found it difficult to be submissive to pastoral leadership. I also discovered that he was attempting to turn the hearts of the people to himself rather than to the pastor and the vision of the House.
However, the Lord brought me in contact with Ricky V. Dent, a prophet who served under Pastor Theotis White. My experience with him was totally different. First of all, he was a real person. There was nothing strange about him. He was down to earth. He talked regular talk that did not have to be interpreted. He was working with his pastor in a harmonious relationship and, most of all, he was concerned about the Body of Christ understanding and flowing in the prophetic ministry under the leadership of the shepherd of the flock.
As our relationship grew, I realized that this brother knew what he was talking about and through the prophetic activation classes he conducted, he was actually a gift to the Body. In his prophesies, He was accurate. He was not concerned about promoting himself. He was concerned about the order of God and about the hearts of the people being turned to their pastor and the vision God had given him.
Prophet Dent has been a tremendous blessing to me in my own prophetic ministry. Through his teaching and encouragement, I have gained tremendous confidence in operating in the prophetic gift. He has also led prophetic activation classes at Tabernacle of Praise, the ministry where I serve as pastor. The people have grown tremendously through his ministry. His teaching has undergirded the teachings of the House and have helped the people understand, even more, their connectedness to me and the vision God has given me for this hour.
