MY PERSONAL TESTiMONiE
I did not grow up, in a Christian family. My family was in the logging
profession. When I was 22 years old, I lived in oak ridge Oregon and
worked in a local lumber mill. I received a dream after partying all night. I
had an eye opening experience that morning. When I shut my eyes, a
pitcher of my dad formed on the inside of my eye lids. This startled me
greatly! Then when I opened my eyes, the same picture started forming with
my eyes open again! I shut my eyes again and my fathers image formed
clearly once more. My Dad had his eyes closed and it was white all around
him, not glowing white, just white. About ten hours later, I went to work.
About two and a half hours went by, my boss came to me and told me that
he had just received a call telling him, my dad was in the hospital and it was
life threatening. Three hours later, I walked into the hospital room and he
was just like I saw him that morning pictured on my eyelids. He recovered
but he nearly bled to death because of a growth pinching the main artery in
his nose. Then about three mouths later, I moved to the Oregon coast where
I grew up. I rented a house with two of my friends. Three months later, I had
a dream. I saw my left hand index finger arched and then I saw the face of
my room mate, this repeated three times. I got up that morning and started
to chop the wood for the stove we cooked on, after three chops, wham, I cut
my finger, I lifted my left hand and saw the cut and exclaimed with a loud
voice, "I saw this in my dreams last night!!!" Right about that time, mark
walked out into the room, I lifted my eyes from my finger and saw mark just
as I saw him in my dreams previously. Needless to say this got my attention.
Three months later another dream happened. I was falling and there was
nothing to catch me and it kept getting darker and darker, until I could feel
the darkness. I woke up sweating. I got up on my knees and started talking
to GOD, I said "I know you exist, I would like to talk to you! I don’t know if
you can here me but, theres some things, I need to tell you." For about 45
minutes I told him all that I done wrong, adulteries, lies, cursing, stealing,
taking his name in vain, evil thoughts, disobedience to my parents, how I
treated my brothers, etc etc etc. When I come to myself, I couldn't seem to
cry another tear. My tee shirt was wet from wiping my tears away. I got up
and felt like some one took a pressure washer and cleaned me from the
inside out. My life has never been the same halalujaha!!!…
After this life changing experience of being cleaned from the inside.
six questions came to mind
1) Who is GOD?, 2) Were is GOD?, 3) How many GOD's are there?, 4)
What is God?, 5) What’s the name of GOD?, 6) What does all this have to
do with me? About this time, My brother brought me a bible. I read the
scripture "heavens and earth shall pass away but my word shall never pass
away". This startled me, because I live on the earth. Then, I read it again,
but my words will never pass away, I said to myself "if I could fill myself
with his word I wouldn't’ pass away." I started reading the bible, as much as
I could. I couldn't’ get enough and I had no desire to do the things I use to
do. I cut my long hair, quit going to the bars and drinking, smoking pot,
doing drugs etc. I started going to a little baptist church, (I went to as a boy)
to get the answers to my questions. They helped a little bit, but I was not yet
satisfied, example [I asked "if Jesus was the son of God? and mary
conceived of the Holy Ghost?", and wouldn't’ that make the Holy Ghost his
father?". They couldn't’ explain this to me, but said "it’s a revelation to be
revealed another day". About three months had gone by and I read in the
bible, that a man wasn’t supposed to have long hair. An unseen force was
dealing with me, compelling me to clean up my life and also that I needed to
be baptized, but then the question is how?. I saw in the scripture there were
two ways
1) matt 28:19 go and baptize in the name of the father and of the son and of
the holy ghost.
2) acts 2:38 repent everyone of you and be baptized in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins and receive the gift of the holy spirit.
the next verse 39 tells it a promise to receive it.
Now the Baptist church did it the first way. I asked about acts 2:38 they
kind of played it down and said "we do it this way", so I prayed earnestly to
the lord and he revealed to me the answer to my question about baptism. I
studied the scriptures on this subject and found, that no one in the scripture
was ever baptized in the three titles but all were baptized in Jesus name.
See! Father is not a name, son is not a name and Holy Ghost is not a name,
they are all titles or offices that the lord [God] Jesus [Son] Christ [Holy
Spirit] holds. This being clear to me, I then sought out the way to be
baptized in Jesus name. I received Jesus Christ as my personal savour, all
mighty god, king, husband father, counselor, refuge in a time of trouble, my
all in all. It was during this time, I came in contact with the ministry of
William Branham whose ministry has aloud me to see and have a very close
relationship with my lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
