“I did not get saved until the year my wife and I got married. Originally my mother and father were Jehovah’s Witnesses. If you know anything about Jehovah’s Witnesses, you know they do not take too kindly to the Christian church. That was the little exposure I had to so-called religious or spiritual things. When we got married I accepted Jesus right after that.
I was called into the ministry. I had a Damascus Road experience like in the 9th chapter of Acts. I did not see the light, but sure did hear the voice. I started out not having any background in church, and because my wife was from a Baptist background that was all she knew and we joined a Baptist church.
Consequently, for a 17 year period I matriculated through the Baptist church, the A.M.E. church, the Presbyterian Church and the Christian Missionary Alliance. I was not trying to find God. I was trying to find a place I could serve. Because there was so much political intrigue in many of these denominations that I was in, I would not deal with it because I did not have a backlog of that stuff. I would not put up with it. I saw something wrong and I was out of there. Bye.
When I got filled with the Spirit and the revelation came and the teaching gift was dropped into my spirit, I began to see in the word all these things I had been hearing over that 17 year period that were not biblically based. They were traditionally based clichés. I heard things like, “You know, the Lord won’t put on you any more than you can bear.” “God knows just how much you can bear.” I got into the word and I found out that I had a covenant, a new covenant. That word covenant actually means from a legal point of view, a will. You have heard the expression, “the last will and testament of so and so.”
The covenant we have is the last will and testament of the Lord Jesus Christ. You need to access that covenant and find out who you are, what you have, where you are and what you can do. Then, you need to start doing that to bring yourself into position to be a worker together with God”.
