Greetings, I was in Anchorage, Alaska in the early and mid 90’s (not sure of the month and year) when Dr. Brown and his family came to Anchorage Christian Center. I had not been going there but a few weeks when I received a flyer in the mail. It announced that if you want to be changed forever come to the revival services.
I had just rededicated my life to the Lord a few months before. After 9 and a half years of wakening every morning to make a decision as to where I would take my life that day or live another day in torment. I lived those years in demonic torment, of knowing that if I died I’d spend eternity in hell. Yet the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me alone everyday He would perusing me calling me back wooing me back to Jesus. I was mad at God for letting me live after trying to take my life in 1982 in the mist of marital problems. I went to the first day of revival and you called me out I don’t remember all that you spoke over me except that the Holy Spirit was all over me.
As you laid hands on me I fell to the floor slain in the Spirit. I had never had the experience before, But as I laid there on the floor crying then laughing going from one to the other. I didn’t know what was happening to me at the time, but I know that I got up different. I couldn’t explain it at the time but I felt as if a heavy load was lifted from me. I attended every meeting and came forward every time you had an alter call. As I lay on the carpet God was doing great and mighty things in me.
I began a new life. God was delivering me of many past hurts and wounding. You came to Anchorage every few months and I attended all of the meetings and at one of the meetings. I went into a trance and was in the Throne room of my heavenly Father, They say I was out for more than 4 hours. I just know that every cell, fiber, organ, every part of me was worshiping. I could feel weightiness like a blanket warm and heavy yet light. It was the most wonderful feeling I’d every had. I came to myself knowing for the first time in my life that God really loved me and was changing me from the inside out. Those times have changed my life forever. I no longer was in one day and out the next.
I have always wanted to do something for my Lord to be used for His glory. I had for many years before wanted to go to Bible School and never could find one or afford to go, I had a family to take care. God supernaturally moved us to Arkansas in 1995, and in 1998-2000 God made away for me to attend one here in Arkansas. I also attend church getting very involved in many of the programs in the church. God called me out of the church and told me to start one. I thought I must be crazy, but God confirmed it many times. After 2 years of wrestling with God because of my age and that I was a woman, I obeyed and started a home church.
God blessed it and we moved into a building Jan. 2007. God has been faithful, to supply all that we have need of and an abundance more. We are still a small but growing church. But God has laid it on our hearts that we will train and equip people and send them out for ministry. To fulfill their destiny that God has planned for them. We just finished a conference called “Come Away My Beloved” and many lives have been changed and testimonies of how God has changed the lives of others, as many went home and shared with friends and co-workers about the conference. Praise God the Conference was completely paid for before we had it. We were able to bless many. As I was on my computer tonight and had signed off and was praying God brought you to my remembrance and I looked your web site up to see if Little Rock, Arkansas is one of the cites on you plan to come to, on one of your tours. Or if you will be in a near by city any time this year. Please pray and see if the Lord would have you to come.
The body of Christ here is in great need of a revival of fire one that will stir up and fire them up. There are many in the churches that need a life changing experience. I share my testimony often of what God did in me and for me, through your ministry. God used you to change my life and I give thanks to Him and to you for your obedience. I know that you have touched many lives. I have people in our church that God has used you to touch and we talk about the change God has done in us. He has used you to change all of us.
We all thank God for you and the ministry of your Brother, God has used you both to impart into our lives. I thought you would like to hear that you have touched lives that have been really changed and is treasures you have stored up in heaven and fruit that remains. Again thank you and God bless you.
