The year was 1973. I was searching for meaning in life and desperately wanted change, but didn’t know how. To my surprise things began to occur for me in a class in High School. This was my senior year. I did not want to approach my future not knowing my destiny in life or Who He was. When Christ enters your existence, He brings people around you to introduce Himself to you.

It was in my speech class. He chose VR, and DDC to acquaint me with Him. These two individuals were committed to Christ, and they showed it in their character and conduct. It was evident in the speeches they presented to the class. They would often testify to the pupils about their life in Him. Although I did not show it, they were feeding me exactly what I was searching for. I wanted something that had substance to it. VR, and DDC showed substance in their lifestyles. I was so hungry for change. I was raised in a denomination that didn’t challenge where you were, or how you lived. The best way to put it is they had a form of godliness, but denied the power (2Timothy 3:5). To tell you the truth, I was headed for eternal damnation.

In August of that year I was invited to a local church for a Sunday evening service. Little did I know that this was the church that VR attended. It seemed like a coincidence that I happened to go to this assembly. I was hooked from the very first experience; it was the place for me. From August until December of that year I was being drawn by ‘Holy Spirit’ I never will forget the day. After the message I knew I was supposed to respond. I know this wasn’t the case, but that morning it was as if I floated down the aisle to receive The Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. That was December 9th 1973. I grew by leaps and bounds, and was so hungry for Spiritual Truth. One year later I was introduced to the’ Baptism of the Holy Spirit’ with the evidence of speaking with other ‘tongues.’ What an experience it is having the ability to pray
in a language that I was never taught to speak. It was my opportunity to connect with Him in a ‘Supernatural Way.’ Praying in other ‘tongues’ is the hot line to Heaven.

After six years at this church I was instructed by ‘Holy Spirit,’ to go to K.H.’s Bible School. I had been listening to his fifteen minute radio broadcast, and studying some of his printed material. I didn’t know if Mr. H. had a Bible School, so I made some serious inquiries. Sure enough, Mr. H. had a Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, OK., a suburb of Tulsa.

In August 1979, I quit my job, packed up my material possessions; my wife, and children and headed to Oklahoma. In May of 1981, I graduated from Minister H.’s Bible School. It has been an adventure of faith from then until now, following ‘Holy Spirit.’ -AWM

A number of years ago, I was driving to do a series of meetings. During my drive “The Holy Spirit” was conversing with me about a relationship I was having some difficulty with. During the conversation about the relationship, He told me to apologize to the person that we were discussing. I immediately shouted at Him, “I’M NOT GOING TO DO THAT!” He was endeavoring to get me to take the initiative in a relationship gone awry. All I could do was think about how I had not done anything wrong for the relationship to be where it was. Holy Spirit was trying to get me to be the bigger person.

HE WAS GRIEVED
For the next few miles down the road I knew something was wrong. It was as if He was no longer with me. After a number of miles of riding down the road, on my own – all by myself, so it seemed, I began appealing to Him to come back in the vehicle with me. He was there, but chose to be silent and not make ‘His Presence’ known. I told Him that I would do what He asked me to do. After some deliberation He began to speak to me again. It was a dreaded feeling, thinking I had grieved Him to the point of never talking with me again. I did do what He asked me to do, and everything worked out just fine.

2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV)

{14} The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the Communion of The Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

2 Kings 3:14-15 (NKJV)

{14} And Elisha said… {15} “But now bring me a musician.” Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him. (Elisha)

There was a period of time when I was very drawn to the eastern seaboard of the United States.One of the most enjoyable meetings for me personally, and ministerially was in New Bern, NC. The Pastor of this church was most accommodating to the type of ministry that the Lord has blessed me with. The meetings were scheduled for several days. What was so astonishing to me was the sensitivity of the ‘Man of God’ at the helm of this congregation. I had been to this church before, but this time was extremely different.

The Pastor, being aware of my ministry in song did not schedule the churches praise and worship team. Instead, he opened the service up with a word of prayer, and turned it over to me. His attitude was that there was an anointing upon me in the realm of music, with my singing. He trusted me to set the atmosphere, with the ministry of ‘The Psalmist.’ I very gladly walked into this, not knowing what was about to happen. The first meeting or so was the norm. Nevertheless, ‘The Holy Ghost’ manifested Himself after a couple of meetings. The hand of the Lord came upon me and I began to call people out, and give them ‘Words of Knowledge’ and ‘Prophetic Utterances.’

The anointing was so strong. It was as if you could cut a portion of it out with a knife. In a service like that you are very tender — sensitive to ‘The Holy Ghost.’ You don’t want to do anything that would keep Him from moving among the people. The only way I know how to explain it is that you feel like you are walking on egg shells. Up to this point in my ministry, I had never been in a service where I went from person to person with a specific word for them. Why? A great deal of it has to do how well people receive you (Matthew 10:41-42).

There were numerous people ministered to during these encounters. However, there was one that really stuck out to me. There was a man who I felt very drawn to one night during this gathering. I had a very strong word for him — a word of encouragement— a word of victory, but something was different. ‘The Holy Ghost’ would not let me speak anymore over this man’s life. I knew that I was to stop. ‘The Holy Ghost’ would not let me go any further. I told this man so, in front of everyone in the meeting that night. I found out later that this man was dealing with homosexual issues, and he was in counseling with the Pastor. Had I not been obedient to ‘The Holy Ghost,’ I would have created disorder for this man and his Pastor. AWM

It was a Wednesday evening service at a church in Nelsonville, OH. I was in my normal mode of operation as a guest speaker. I was introduced by the pastor and sang a couple of songs to prepare the congregation for the ministry of the Word of God. Suddenly, during the teaching of the Word, I was interrupted by the Holy Ghost with Words of Knowledge (1 Corinthians 12:4-11).

For me, the Word of Knowledge works by hearing “The Holy Ghost” whisper something to me. It comes as a suggestion, thought, or idea. It also comes to me as an “Inward Intuition.” The inward intuition is an inward knowing of a need, or needs in the congregation. The Word of Knowledge also comes to me by physically feeling specific symptoms of the members in the congregation.

During this meeting, there were two outstanding words that came to me. The first one was concerning couples having difficulty in their marriage. I called it out and asked the couples to stand. One couple stood and I was directed by “The Holy Spirit” to pray for them with the “Laying on of Hands” (Hebrews 6:1-2). As I prayed, there was a release in them and me as well. I knew on the inside of me that God had met their need.

The next thing that I encountered has never happened to me again since this particular meeting. I sensed a “hot flash.” This feeling stayed with me for a while, so I called it out. Sure enough there were several women who had been experiencing “hot flashes.” I had the women stand, and then come to the front to be prayed for. As they came forward I explained what I was experiencing. During my explanation one of the ladies interrupted me by exclaiming, “you probably felt it.” I let her know she was correct. Afterwards, I prayed for them with the laying on of hands. There was a transference of power released from my hands into their bodies. As far as I was concerned they all received what they were looking for from God. AWM

Most of us have heard the old saying “out of sight, out of mind.” At one time or another we have made the statement, “I’ll believe it, when I see it.”

When it comes to trusting God neither one of those assertions are pleasing to Him. Why? Because the Mind of God is given to us by His Word. As believers’ we should have the point of view that if God said it, that settles it —and I believe it.

We must remember that when it comes to the things of God we can’t base our life with Him by the five physical senses(2 Corinthians 5:7).

Now, I am not so obtuse to think that God does not at times meet us in the realm of sight or sometimes feelings, but sight and feelings should not be the motivating factor for the believer.

Jesus gave us encouraging scriptures that we must consider when it comes to our approach to God.

John 14:16-18 KJV

{16} And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever;

{17} Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

{18} I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

The first thing we must reflect on is the fact that Jesus said that He would pray to The Father to give us another Comforter.

The Holy Ghost Comforter is not just given to us, but He will abide with us forever. Forever is a long time. This is what I mean: From the time you gave your life to The Lord Jesus Christ, God The Holy Ghost has been working in your life. He has not only been working — He will never leave you. He will abide with you from now until eternity rolls and beyond.

The Holy Ghost is our Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby. Jesus said He — The Holy Ghost — would be those attributes for us forever. Our job is to acknowledge Him.
