When I was younger my dream was to become a Clinical Psychologist or a recording artist. I even studied Psychology and recorded a record in a Detroit studio before I entered university.
While a student at university I was confronted with the teachings and claims of Jesus by a music group from out West. I was a recording artist at the time and loved music so I went to the concert. At the conclusion of that music concert the Gospel was presented. Then sometime later I was confronted by an independent travelling evangelist who played the guitar and preached the Gospel. He bluntly asked me about my spiritual beliefs then challenged me to be a real Christian.
From those two experiences I became a convert and follower of Jesus Christ.
Then shortly after that I was called into the Christian ministry. I did not want to go into ministry as I thought it was most unappealing. That was my image of ministers. I was also more interested in music and psychology and my social life. But after reading the bookThe Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson I was introduced to a new type of ministry that emphasized having an experience with God. That event changed the direction of my life a second time (the first was conversion).
I enrolled in theology school and was miraculously accepted as a student. While there I had a Pentecostal experience and pursued fellowship with like minded believers. That was the third event that changed my life. This experience with the Holy Spirit gave me a fervent desire to study the Bible that led to my first and strongest gift of the Spirit: Teaching. I was able to read from the Scriptures and supernaturally speak on it with insight and anointing beyond my natural ability.
After my experience with the Holy Spirit I became very enthusiastic. I began a street ministry of evangelism and teaching the Bible.
I was given a vision of Jesus years ago showing me I would be in an ordained ministry of healing and deliverance. I have seen many healed and delivered by the Lord.
God graciously endowed me with a pastoral position in 2015 www.JavaChurch.net
Mark 16:15 Ministries is a ministry of teaching and healing bringing Christ's message to people today in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Just like in Bible days. Because God never changes.
