I have been reminiscing lately over my life and ministry. Sunday, September 1st, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. I left my parents and their ministry and began traveling on the evangelistic field at 16 years of age. The journey has been nothing but miraculous every step of the way. I am so honored to have shared the platform and preached with many of America’s most effective ministers and singers. God has allowed me to preach to the whole world by international radio and television and personal crusades. It truly took God to open these doors and bless us to bring multitudes into God’s kingdom. I have been used to bring healing miracles of every kind to the desperate and dying. Yes, I have even witnessed the raising of the dead. This is not a brag but a simple expression of powerful truth for the purpose of glorifying my God.
Cathy stood right by my side through thick and thin - never complaining when it was really thin at times. Her gift for teaching is incredible. We have shared 52 years of marriage. God gave us three very gifted children. How can I express my thankfulness for a lifetime of God’s favor and living under His divine anointing?
Over the last weeks, God has prompted us to explain the power of fasting and prayer. When Jesus’ disciples could not deliver a young boy from demon possession, which caused him to be suicidal. He often would throw himself into the fire and attempt to drown himself by throwing himself into the water. Jesus explained that this kind only comes out by prayer and fasting. As we watch this world around us, we witness a constant flow of people who are also suicidal. It may be an uncontrollable addiction. It may be a depression that is out of control. I call it a spirit of premature death. We want to join with you this month in a personal fasting season, however you may be led, and begin to call out the names and situations of those who you know about and love that the enemy is desiring to abbreviate their life by any means possible.
Please hear my heart, It will be worth all my years of ministry to save one more soul. No one is too hardened, and no one is beyond God’s power to save and deliver. AMEN!
Help me celebrate this whole month and I believe we, together, will experience life-changing miracles and deliverances. Your love for us and all we accomplish for God’s glory means the world to us. Thank you for doing your part to make is happen.
