Oh, where do I start? I can’t Start at the first time we met because it goes so much further back than that.
Let’s start in 2003 not long after I completely rededicated my life to Jesus. In This year of 2003 I was handed a written prophecy about my life and the woman I would spend the rest of my life with.
Little did I know that in this same year the woman described in the prophecy was finishing her divorce.
I also had no idea that the woman spoke of in the prophecy that I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with wasn’t in my 1st marriage either.
You see I read the prophecy once and instead of paying attention to what God was telling me I made a quick and wrong decision to marry the one I wouldn’t spent the rest of my life with.
I agree, Divorce is not from God, but it was also beyond my control and I’m not here to argue scripture but to glorify what God has done and turned around through his Grace.
After My Divorce
When my 1st wife and I separated, I separated all of our belongings in the house my self.
In the process I found the prophecy that I had taken for granted and started reading it again. What I found was a description of who I would spend the rest of my life with and I knew she was out there.
I started also studying the word of God pertaining to Marriage and how God views and cherishes the covenant of marriage as well as how a Husband should view his Wife.
Fallowing the direction of the written prophecy to find my future wife was hard to say the least as it stated “She will be set in your life in a way you think not” and also said ” Do not seek her, for I will open a door and set her in your life when you are not looking”
That was hard to fallow, and as hard as it was it came to past in that exact manor!
All the while throughout the years she had her own struggles being a single Mom and bad relationships her self.
All the time we were praying for who God had specifically for us and he had it all lined out to bring us together in his timing.
The Calling And The Infirmity
We have both felt God calling us to pastor for quite some time and when the time came for us to fulfill this calling the unthinkable took place.
I was stricken with a rare disease that nobody has ever survived. A blood cell bone tumor in my pelvic bone.
Before I started Chemo my wife asks, “Should we wait to start the Church and concentrate on your healing?”
I immediately Felt the Lord say “No, it will be the fulfillment of your healing!”
When I received the word from the lord to name the Church “Revival House” I asked Donna to be praying for conformation.
She just happened to find a Church in Texas with the same name when she searched on Google.
The testimony of their Church start says it all. When they steped out to start their Church some 20 years ago their 2 year old son was stricken with Leukemia and they were standing with the same question.
“Do we concentrate on our sons healing or start the Church?” They got the same answer and now their son plays college football!
So we stepped into his will to Pastor the Church and now a year later with a new building space.
After a 9 months of Chemo I am healed and am the first to survive this disease!
I know and appreciate the Dr.s but they gave me no hope, my hope is, was, and forever will be in Jesus!
Now we with the love of my life next to me as we fulfill our calling to Pastor at Revival House Church my heart and life is full.
