Founder's Testimony of Salvation (Page 2)

Some of my friends thought I was becoming a Jesus 'freak'. My family thought I was just crazy, but God rewarded me! In November of 1999, I heard the Lord call me via Genesis 12:1-3 to go to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I do not particularly care for cold weather so I asked for a sign. A fleece so to speak. Within two weeks the company I worked for had been merged and all the top management replaced. Needless to say, my boss was among them.

By January 1, 2000 I had no job. I decided not to ask the Lord for any more signs and moved to DFW. Again, God miraculously provided for me a job, a home and a church. I began to seek God's direction for the Ministry He had planted in my heart but everything seemed to be at standstill. I knew I was supposed to be there but for how long or why, I wasn't sure. It was as if time itself had stopped still for me. I patiently waited for the next step. While there, however, I was able to be under the anointed teaching of Kenneth Copeland himself.

In February 2002, I was forced to return to Houston when I was hospitalized with Pancreatitis, Gallbladder and PseudoCyst surgeries, and a fistula in my esophagus that had me on a feeding machine for six weeks. All at the same time! Three times during this period, the doctors told my family that they could not guarantee my life BUT GOD delivered me with His Word, Jesus!

I knew this was an attack from the devil but I also knew that God had a purpose for allowing me to return to Houston. During the period of 11/2001 through 01/2004, many doors were closed to me in the natural - my health, my job, my car, my home, my family relationships; however, the Lord has opened an even greater door - He has given me the direction I sought for this Ministry! And out of the hardship and disappointment and hurt and everything else that the devil has thrown my way, God has remade me as the Potter does the clay.

And He has shown me that the way to tell you, whoever you are who is reading this, how God sees YOU - is to tell you that God has kept His Word to me.

• I AM God's Treasure Chest, for I carry HIM within me - and is that not what a treasure chest is, a container for your most precious possession?
• I AM God's Mansion, for I carry HIM within me - and He is the Master Architect, gold lines His streets! Will He do no less for me?
• I AM God's Righteousness, for I carry HIM within me - and when I speak God's Word to others, will He not make it RIGHT?
• I AM God's Word, for I carry HIM within me - and His word never returns to him void, but completes what He said it would do.
• I AM God's Glory, for I carry HIM within me - and God's glory means prosperity and that I have!
• I AM God's Power, for I carry HIM within me - and He is the power that created the universe; what won't He create through me?
• I AM God's Shofar (Trumpet) for I carry HIM within me - and isn't that what I am doing, trumpeting, telling YOU about Him and His goodness and mercy and love for YOU?!

There is no god but GOD! What He has done for me, He will do also for YOU!

Do not despair. Do not give up. God has led you to this ministry; trust Him.

Something GOOD is going to happen to you!
