He's gone now and has been for a few years. He was pastor of the church we started attending not long after I was saved and then baptized in the Holy Spirit a couple of weeks later. I never knew what was happening to me at the time since I was not going to any church and no one was witnessing to me. Jesus came Himself and brought down my heart. Thank Him for evermore.
Ezekiel 34:10-12 (NKJV)
10 Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them."
11 'For thus says the Lord God: "Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.
I only know of a few but Jesus still comes and saves the lost sheep Himself. Others Pray. It was strange getting saved and having no idea what to what had happened. Then He baptized me in the Holy Spirit and I began to speak in a language that made no sense to me. I was amazed and had no idea what it was. Only after I began to dig into the Bible did I find what it all meant and after forty years this fall I'm still learning.
Back to our pastor. After finding this wonderful church we couldn't get enough. It was 1977 and a great move of God was sweeping across America. We saw many miracles there including our own of having children after 14 years without. That's a long other story though.
I have fond remembrances of brother Gene dancing on the piano. If I'd been through what he had and gotten the miracle he got I'd have been up on that thing dancing too.
Below is a link to his actual testimony on the Sid Roth program. He tells it much better than I. My wife and I miss those wonderful days and that anointed meeting place. Gene and his wife Nancy are with God in heaven now but we'll all be together again with friends and loved ones. We were privileged to know gene and see what we saw. Amen
