To know and share these truths is the driving force of my life
The great teachings from the Word of God, so masterfully taught by LCU's professors, are my greatest joy. To know and share these truths with my brothers is the driving force of my life.
I now serve as Volunteer Chaplain at Arizona State Prison Complex in Kingman. This facility houses approximately 3500 inmates. We (the Holy Spirit and me) started a Bible study in the summer of 2011, with about 6 men. On Easter of 2013, I preached the Risen Christ to over 300 men, and many of them received Jesus as their Lord and Savior! Glory to God!
The effect this ministry has had upon our home church is powerful as well. My wife, Diane, serves right by my side in the prison. We have brought over 40 members of our church into the prison with us. We have water baptized 28 inmates. I am often asked by our church members, "When are we going back to the prison?" They tell me, "I could feel God's presence so strongly while we were there."
Thank you, LCU! Your dedication to the Word of God is transforming lives.

Using the authority of the believer
My mother suddenly suffered a seizure and collapsed. She was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. I laid hands on her and prayed. I then went about comforting my father who was understandably beside himself. He quietly said, “We’re going to go down fighting.”
I replied, “Dad, we're not going down.” In that moment, this man who had so viciously rejected my Christian beliefs over the years latched onto my faith and was encouraged.
In the rehab hospital, my mother’s recovery moved at a phenomenal pace. Instead of two weeks of "acute rehab," she was discharged to go home in three days!
The icing on the cake: my father received the Lord the night before my mother went in for surgery!!! The principles I learned in the “Authority of the Believer” course adjusted my mindset towards life in Christ. I've needed a deeper understanding of the fact that I could appropriate and truly walk out God's authority in the earth. Thank you so much for making the course available!

Jesus came to my rescue!
The devil tried to kill me recently in the hospital. My body was not responding to treatment. The doctors did all they could, but I could tell my body was dying. I was so weak I could not lift my head up off the bed. That night, I called out to Jesus — and I would not give up calling Him, using a promise from the Word of God. "I know You promised never to leave me or forsake me, but, Jesus, where are You? I've been praying and I haven't heard from You. Jesus, I need You!"
I called out for about ten minutes. Then I said, "Jesus, whether I live or die, my life is in Your hands." A little later, a vision of Jesus' face appeared right before me, drawn in white light. He was riding on a horse, also drawn in white light. Jesus came to my rescue! He fought the battle for me! I am a living testimony!
I have realized that the more you study the Word of God, the better equipped you are to face the trials and hardships of this life. The Word of God can be used against the enemy (the devil) and his associates and they will have to leave.
