I do not swallow hook, line, and sinker 'til I taste the bait being used Articles / Testimony Letters Date: May 29, 2002 - 04:08 AM In my honest and hungry heart I asked God for a fleece. I said, Lord, if this is really genuine.... I wish to express my thoughts and my appreciation of our Brother Jerry Gaffney's ministry. I do not swallow hook, line, and sinker 'til I taste the bait being used. I do not want to be unkind or judgmental. I am always careful to seek God's direction and to feel God's anointing on any type of ministry. Together, my husband and I have ministered over 50 years together in pastoral work in several different churches. We have ministered to several countries in evangelistic work in two islands in Hawaii, and Norway, Sweden, Korea, Philippines, and Thailand. I have seen both the real and also the imitation of spiritual realms. We had a great part in two heaven-sent revivals. I attended two of Brother Gaffney's revival services held in Silverdale in 1995. And in '96 I attended two more services. These services were somewhat a little different than what I had experienced in the past. This minister was a little different in his presentation. He had such a unique way to display his messages. In 1995 my spirit was deeply touched by his winning-ways in reaching our youth. He laid his hands on them and prayed, and they were slain in the Spirit. It really touched my heart. But I still had a watchful eye and didn't quite accept everything. In 1996 I attended two more services. There was something that brought me back to these services. In the 4th service, I sat there, sincere and earnest before God. I did not want to leave that service until I was assured that this was God's divine way in touching His church. In my honest and hungry heart, I asked God for a fleece. I said, Lord, if this is really genuine and anointed by you Lord, I ask you to bring this brother to come and shake my hand and pray for me. GOD INSTANTLY GRANTED MY REQUEST. As I opened my eyes there stood brother Gaffney asking for my need. I felt God's concern for me and I opened my heart to our brother with my need. I feel our brother is a Godly humble servant of God being used in a unique way; anointed to touch people's hearts. God has chosen to use him in a special way all of his own. I admire him for being himself, and not trying to be a Billy Graham A sister in Christ A Nicholson This article comes from World's Largest Prayer Board Annointed.net News http://www.annointed.net/ The URL for this story is: http://www.annointed.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=96
