personal testimony - part 2

After receiving a personal prophecy on October 25, 2005, that God was going to "do a new thing and it would be a while before I knew [the full extent of] it," I started having a hunger for more of the Holy Spirit. I emailed a fellow elder of my church who was gradually become a friend. I knew that he was charismatic. I asked if we could get together to discuss "18 questions plus subquestions" about the Holy Spirit that I had written down. We got together on November 10 and talked for 3 1/2 hours before praying over each other in tongues for unseen needs in our lives. We instantly bonded as close friends. We started meeting weekly for Bible study, discussion, and prayer. I have always joked that he has the "world's largest private Pentecostal library". Each week he would bring me a bagful of books and tapes. Because I was working midnight shift at the turnpike, I was able to work my way through them at rapid pace. We began to minister together. We team-taught in men's retreats, and Sunday school. We anointed the sick as a pair and saw several immediate healings and some gradual but quick healings of long-standing conditions. We were called to anoint people in hospitals, nursing homes, and their own homes. We anointed some whose churches do not practice anointing. We anointed a pastor of a house church, and we anointed a vice president of our denomination. Two pastors of our church told people if they want anything prayed for, to come to us. We also taught a class on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues in three different venues and prayed with many people to receive the Baptism. We continued to minister together until he moved out of state. Six years ago it was prophesied over me four times in four different situations by four different people that my greatest influence is yet to come. In my retirement I am volunteering at Mission to Amish People, grading correspondence evangelical Bible studies. I am still waiting for the fulfillment of that prophecy.
