Testimony Of a Baptist Minister

by Daniel Thrower
1/18/2015 / Testimonies

I was saved on the third Sunday of February 1972 age 34 while watching a Church Service on Television. I was baptise and my life change from serving the devil to living for the Lord. I started going to Church and I got involved in starting a bus ministry for the church, six months later God called me into the Ministry, I went to school in Kentucky and studied Directing Bus Ministry for Churches. I Graduated and went to Ohio to direct a bus ministry for the church. I preached in Children Church and have preached to nas many as 350 Children at a time. Then God called me to preach his word, In 73 I was license and in 75 I was Ordained at a Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. I have served as an Associate Pastor in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and North Carolina. I have also had a Nursing Home Ministry I went to 20 different Nursing Home a month and this lasted 5 years and I enjoyed every minute of it. In 2008 I had to have leg surgery recouprated I would have to have surgery again on the same leg. Up to today I have had a total of 13 surgeries on my left leg, 4 infections last one being mercer. Today even tho I can't bend that leg I am wanting to get back into the Ministry. My first wife of 50 years passed away on Thanksgiven 2012 on May 23, 2014 I married Mary Ann Cupp of Topeka Kansas. Our meeting amd marriage was planned by God. My wife is Pentecostal and I started going to church with her and this starts the next chapter in my Christian Life.
While living in Topeka God spoke to me and said He wanted me to moved back to Coffeyville, Kansas. for a few weeks I fought it cause I knew Mary Ann did not want to move to Coffeyville. God kept after me and saying I want you to moved to Coffeyville. So on a Sunday after Church I had Mary sit on my lap and told her the Lord wanted us to move to Coffeyville and I didn't know why He just said go. So we moved back and started going to Coffeyville First Assembly Church of God. and there my life began to change
As I went to each service I began to feel something stirring inside of me and for awhile I just passed it off. Then finally realize that I was on the outside looking on the inside and there was something different that I had not experience as a Baptist when the invation was given I went to Pastor Randy and ask him to pray for me and for more filling of the Holy Spirit. and every time after that I would ask for prayer and then one Sunday I was in terrible pain I have torn rotor-cups in both arms, my shoulder hurt so much that I would double over it was like several knifes were being stab into my arms. I went up to Pastor Randy and ask him to pray for me, Pastor Randy will tell you that he cannot heal you, but he prays and puts into Gods hands Christ is the great Physicans as the pastor was praying I felt a great power come on me, my knee got weak. The power was so strong that I felt myself going backwards
As I lay on the floor everything around me was swept away to the most beautiful place i have ever seen this beautiful place the brightest light that I have ever seen it's like a Sun rays coming through the clouds and reaching the ground and I am in the middle, and I knew I was in the present of my Lord, there was calm feeling and it was so beautiful and I was paralyzed! As soon as I realized I could not move, literally, I could not move anything other than my mouth, the voice said to me, "I am God, I love you". and with that I began fighting tears. I began praising Jesus and thanking Jesus. I was speaking out loud and praising Jesus and thanking Him. Again, I was lost in emotion and praise and initially was not sure I had heard anything but was aware that I may have heard something. The voice spoke again and gave me the same message. it was ok, I could get up now., this is powerful).
Right now you are probily saying to your self that I am not telling the truth that I am just making it up, but let me saythis this is true and actually happen to me. and it can happen to you. I don't care what Church you go to the same experience can happen to you if you are completely sold out to the Lord and want the power of the Holy Spirit in your life,and it could happen to you if you would just let go and let God take control of your life.
Eze 36:26 (NKJ) "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."
Isa 16:5 (NAS) "Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice..."
A couple of weeks later after I was baptise by the Holy Spirit I told the Pastor I wanted to be baptise again in the water and when I was it was the most wonderful experience in my life, I thought it was wonderful when I was baptise when I got saved but this one replaces that one. When I came up out of the water I was shower in the most beautiful light (brigher than the sun) that I have ever seen. I kept saying " Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus" from that day I have never been the same, My life was totally changed. I might be an old Baptist Preacher but I have found something that I had been missing in my 45 years as a Baptist Minister and I wish that all the Baptist people could experence what I felt when the Holy Spirit came upon me.
At the next service as we began to sing I felt the Holy Spirit on me and it was like a cool breeze coming upon me I stood as long as I could the breeze got stronger my legs got weaker and weaker and was transform into another place as told above. and while laying there in His Present a still small voice I heard it said " You have experience something that as a Baptist you doubted the healing and being baptized by the Holy Spirit" I cried and said you are right Lord, I did doubt and cried harder. and the Lord said again " through the prayers of Pastor Randy you were baptize in the Spirit and I healed you of Pains in your Shoulder and Damage Nerves in your toes" and when He said this and with tears flowing I just started thanking and praising Jesus and giving Him the glory. He then placed on my heart I needed to share my testamony to the people in Baptist Churches and other Churches who are so quit and do not honor Him with their voices and raiseing their hands toward Heaven.
Last Tuesday night at church as we began to sing I felt the Holy Spirit upon me and I went to the altar and sit down on the step cause I cannot kneel due to not being able to bend my leg, and began praying and the Holy Spirit came on me stronger I stood up crying and the Pastor came oven and laid his hand on me and began praying and the Holy Spirit got stronger, my legs got weaker and weaker so weak that I could not stand and I felt myself going in the presents of the Lord and I felt myself going down. I could see the bright light again it was like the the sun rays coming through the clouds and the rays were all around me, the most beautiful site I have ever seen and I knew I was in the present of my Lord, there was calm feeling and it was so beautiful and I was paralyzed! As soon as I realized I could not move, literally, I could not move anything other than my mouth, the voice said to me " I want you to take this message to my people in Baptist Churches and other churches cause they donot honor me. " I said Lord how I can't do by myself I have a bad leg and can't drive or have a way to go, Lord said " leave that to me, the message I want you to take to my people is found in 2 Chron. 7:14 " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." I want my people to honor and praise me and quit being quite, humble themself and spend more time in prayer, they say they love me but they donot show it, they go to church but their ears are closed and they donot listen to the Pastor. that is the message I want you to take to my people" I cried and cried as I was praising the Lord and saying Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus. When I return Church service was over I was in Gods presents for over 45 minutes. I was help up and I was so weak they had to help me to a seat I was completely drained of my strengh.
I am at lost as to how to go about doing this as all of the Pastors I know have either retired or gone on to be with the Lord. To carry out this mission I need Prayers of God's people that doors will be open. If you know of a small Baptist Church or other Church or a Pastor of a small Church and would pray about me coming for one Service to carry out the commision that was given me by the Lord you can Email me at ( [email protected] ) I will take the message to any Churches. My prayer is God will open Churches
The second part of Acts 2:17 says " I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh "
