December 31, 2017, while at Snake River Prison in Ontario, Oregon, one of our team members was sharing from the pulpit, prior to me preaching.
I was sitting next to a fellow 80-year-old minister, as the man who was speaking was almost done. My time to go up to preach was within a minute.
My fellow minister, sitting next to me, had his elbows on his knees, and his face in his open palms, weeping.
Right before I got up to preach, he whispered to me, “Remind me later in the hotel room, to tell you what the Lord said to me just now.”
I acknowledged him and went up to preach.
In the hotel room later, he told me this:
“God said, ‘Go and do more until you are exhausted. I will give you all you need. Do not come to Me and the end of 2018 and not have done all you could do. Do as much as you can everywhere. Book (schedule) everything.’”
(Remember this, as I am moving on to the VERY next day at the airport).
My fellow minister and I were at the Boise, Idaho Airport. His flight to Houston left before my flight to Austin. He lived in Houston, and I lived in another town four hours from him.
I am sitting at my gate, when the following happened:
An old man in a wheelchair was sitting in his area, ready to board the flight I was going to be on.
He is staring at me for ten minutes. I was trying not to make eye contact with him.
Finally, after this ten-minute period, the old man waves me over to him.
I arrived, reluctantly, and he spoke this to me:
“I see you have had a hard way in life. Let me see your left hand.”
(I gave him my left hand, and he held it as he continued.)
“There is fire in your hand to bring healing to nations. You must do more; you MUST DO MORE!”
(That is what God told my 80-year-old fellow minister the day before while at the prison. God spoke the same thing to him just before I went up to preach).
“Your family; OH, your wife, what a prayer warrior, yet so sensitive in the Spirit of God. Much for her to do yet.”
(He asked me for my TWO boys’ names. How did he know I had two boys except by the Holy Ghost)?
I told him,
“Caleb and Levi.”
He continued,
“Caleb needs to run in the spirit, like he runs on a field.”
(Caleb was a running back in High School Football at this time, and a track and field runner).
“He hasn’t gotten the Baptism yet, but soon will, and he will pray for the sick and afflicted. He has such a Shepherd’s heart.”
“Now Levi.
Bold, brilliance of mind and heart.
Will be a prophet to the nations.”
He continues,
“Your family is a miracle.”
(He then asked for my name).
“It is a true miracle, your family. Your son Caleb has such an awesome spirit, one that is tender. but needs The Baptism, so that he can function in the Spirit. Function and RUN in the Spirit, so God can tell him what to do, and where to go.”
(Now, he speaks about himself).
“When I was 36 years old- I am 80 now- I was caught up in the Spirit of the Lord, between Heaven and earth, and God showed me the ones I would pray for, in my entire life. From that day forward.
Now, you and your family, are one of many He showed me back when I was 36. Today is the fulfillment of what I saw 44 years ago on your behalf.”
He says,
“You have got to keep doing what you are told, for time is short! YOU are called. YOU ARE CALLED!”
(He amplified his voice to me).
“Do not worry about things that concern your needs. I love you.”
Then suddenly, an airport orderly came up to him, as I walked away.
I watched him intently.
The orderly said to him,
“You are parked at the wrong gate, Sir. You belong two gates down from here, which is the correct gate.”
The 80-year-old man, as he was wheeled away, winked at me and smiled.
I had taken a picture of him at the beginning, before he called me over to prophesy to me. In this picture, he is sitting in the wheelchair.
It is more of a side shot than a front picture.
