power of god the presence of god came into my room like a swooping bird almost hit me picked me up in the air and i flew back onto my bed and i said that can't be god and i made a decision i'm gonna get the heck up out of here yo this is scary as a mug so i get up and i'm like trying to run up out the room god came in the room picked me back up threw me back on again and i was like oh nah like this is bad i'm a grand
i'm a grandparents um well my grandmother she's an apostle a pastor um she kind of raised me in the faith she taught me the way of prayer taught me how to seek the face of god how to worship how to love god um i was filled with the holy ghost when i was seven years old um i'll never forget i was in my grandmother's car and um the previous wednesday in prayer i saw my grandmother fall on the floor and speak in tongues and i didn't know what tongues was i was seven and i said
my grandmother said what's that language you guys uh talk in church and she said baby that's tongues that's from being filled with the holy ghost and i said well can i be filled with the holy ghost and speak in tongues she was like sure and i said all right well i'm gonna ask him when i get home tonight and she said no ask him right here i'm like right here in this car and she was like yes right in the car so i um asked the holy spirit i said lord can you fill me with
the holy ghost and i'll never forget the feeling of something dropping into my stomach and expanding and immediately in the car i begin to speak in tongues fast forward um that next sunday i had an amazing encounter with the lord i was um in like the fifth or sixth row of the church the spirit of god was very strong that day and i'll never forget feeling what i knew to be for the first time ever conviction of sin now you know as a seven-year-old what can a seven-year-old be convicted about you know telling a white
lie to your mom or taking candy or something like that but i remember feeling conviction for the first time and getting on my knees and asking jesus to forgive me for all of the sin in my life you know whatever it was at that time and i'll never forget that um as i said that as i began to repent i remember feeling the presence of god hit my stomach again and i begin to speak in tongues again and this time it wasn't a quick sporadic moment i was going in in tongues i'll never forget my
eyes were closed i was weeping crying and i remember my grandmother must have been walking down the aisle while god was moving and i remember hearing my voice elevated in the mic system and um in those days you know the church whenever someone got filled with the holy ghost they would put the mic up to their mouth so that everyone could know oh so-and-so got filled with the holy spirit and everyone would celebrate and go crazy you know but um so she did that i remember hearing my voice on the mic while i was praying
in the spirit and i remember feeling like i had a prophetic word at the time i didn't know it was a prophetic word but i remember feeling like i want to say what god is saying i can hear god talking to me and i can feel it coming up from my belly like i have english to say and i shut it down i said no um these people won't hear what i have to say i'm just a kid and i remember my work my aunt got a word of knowledge in the car that day afterwards
and said and i cuz i thought god was mad at me for not saying what he wanted me to say and my aunt looked at me in the car and said baby god's not mad at you just next time say what he tells you to say and so that was you know my encounter being filled with the holy ghost um fast forward up to the age of 16. um you know between 7 and 16 a lot of things happen you try to make friends you try to be like everybody else you know you try to
fit in with the crowd all that all that crazy stuff i regret that stuff to this day um so to any 16 year olds that are going to watch or or young people are going to watch this uh there's no need for that pursue god with everything inside of you um so fast forwarding round 16 i experienced what i believe to be a renewal of my salvation um a fresh encounter with the lord um actually came into contact with meeting a friend of mine that at the time was an evangelist and he really just began
to call forth the call of god that was in my life he knew that i had already gotten saved and given my life to jesus but he really begins to begin to minister to the thing that god had placed on the inside of me and i'll never forget that he would talk about the presence of god at the time i knew what the presence of god but i didn't know about the presence of god the way that i know him today and he would talk about like oh yeah i just lift my hands and the
presence of god comes into my room feels like electricity it feels like heat i was used to a little tickle tickle in my stomach you know whenever i felt the presence of god or maybe some burning in my hands but never about my entire body coming under the tangible weight of god's presence and so he would always talk about it and it really provoked what i would call a holy jealousy on the inside of me to hunger after that dimension in god so i remember i was talking to him and it really took me on
a journey to really seek god and to ask him to touch me with his presence from the age of 16 to the age of 18 i was on this journey and in between then god really began to open up who i was as a prophetic minister what did you what did you do in that time you know that you were saying you were seeking for that well yeah i would wake up early sometimes and pray i would um host meetings at my school we had this thing called the edge club now the edge club is
not the most charismatic of christian clubs and schools it's in multiple schools around my region and things of that nature but we were in the edge club and i was one of the leaders so we would actually like heal the sick in our in our school we would prophesy cast out devils in our school the power of god would fill our meetings and we would do the acts that jesus tells the church to do in mark 16. they shall lay their hands on the sick they shall cast out devils all that wonderful stuff and we
really actually saw a revival hit our high school um stonewall jackson high school at the time the name changed because of the whole um racism thing but um we uh saw revival we saw bones healed headaches healed um demons cast it out um the funny thing was we casted devils out in our oceanography classroom and the oceanography teacher was an atheist and so it was kind of funny just kind of like it was ironic that she would allude to god not being real but we would cast out demons in her classroom after school and so
um god really moved during that time and um from 16 to 18 um i was on a journey to experience god now it seemed like everyone i would pray for would have the encounter that i was looking for i would pray for people people would fall under the presence of god talk about they felt the presence of god all over their body they were never the same i would just feel him a little bit um i would pray for people cast out devils would not still feel the presence of god but i was so hungry
for god that i was willing to seek him as long as i wanted as long as i could so that i could have these major encounters with the lord so i graduated from high school at the age of 18 years old and that summer i would say was the wildest summer and even talking about i can feel the presence of god right now but that summer was the wildest summer i have ever experienced in my entire life it all starts with me um saying god i want you more than anything so i would pray all
night because you know no school you know i was in be i hadn't gotten a job yet and um i was i would seek god all night long i would wake up early seek the lord i would not go out with my friends and hang out um as a matter of fact god stripped me of all my friends during that time because you know i was so hungry for god and i remember one particular night and this is actually where i had my uh second encounter with the lord jesus one particular night i was on
the side of my bed praying and i'll never forget i was on my bed praying and i found myself standing what i believe this is an open vision that i had of the lord or a dream i'm not sure um but i was in the bed when the vision was over but i found myself um standing on a grassy field in a grassy field and the grass was tall it was green and yellowish but it wasn't dead everything around me seemed to be breathing and seemed to be living everything around me seemed as if it
was moving and had a heartbeat to it and i remember watching the wind the wind was physical i could see the wind in the air you know you can't see the wind you can only see the effects of the wind i can't describe what i saw i saw colors that i've never seen before like colors there that i've never seen before the wind would come down and go into the grass and it would look like a child dancing in the grass and it would go up in the air again and it would dance in the
grass again and i'll never forget and i heard children's laughing singing joy all these wonderful things and i remember looking off in the distance and seeing um a figure standing in the grass and immediately i became fear fearful the fear of the lord struck me and immediately i turn the other direction and begin to r run in the opposite direction in this vision um and i believe obviously i was in heaven when this took place i jumped over a rock and i said you know it was something supernatural because i've been husky the majority of
my life and um there's no jumping over rocks where i come from so i i jump over the rock and i'm hiding trembling in fear yet something i would say fascination curiosity made me want to peek over the rock so as i'm peeking over the rock i find myself being lunged over the rock and i'm standing face to face with the lord jesus christ um he didn't say anything to me and he wasn't smiling like the last time either he was actually just sitting there looking at me we never opened our mouths we spoke from
heart to heart we spoke from mind to mind um in the communication there are things that i cannot you know unveil things that i'm to secrecy until until they're revealed but right there's when he revealed to me who i was called to be he told me that um that i would be his prophet that i would speak on his behalf and that i would represent his heart on planet earth um and i remember i took my fingers and ran them through his hair and then the last thing i remember i'm back in my body and
i'm back um on earth what did you see when you see him did you see like could you describe what you saw um personally i don't like describing what i saw because what i saw um is a lot different from what a lot of people think he looks like [Laughter] yeah you should describe it [Laughter] i don't know man um it was a pretty wild encounter um i'll i'll uh i'll say that for another episode okay so what happened after that so you see him and he tells you that you're called to be his prophet
yeah what happens next so i'm back in my body um and i wake up in the fear of the lord but it was weird because if you've ever been in love before that's what it feels like it's like you're terrified but you are deeply deeply in love i loved him more after that encounter than i did before i went into the encounter and so the next day i'm under my bed i'm actually under my bed i actually got somehow got under my bed i was praying i use we pray pretty aggressively in my camp and
so um i was under the bed i was praying and all of a sudden the holy spirit speaks to me audibly under the bed and he says that person in your dream or in your encounter was jesus christ and so um you know i'm under the bed and i grab the the the board under the bed and start shaking it aggressively like oh my god because you know i had an encounter with the lord jesus christ and the holy spirit confirmed it to me a few days later i was preparing to go to a camp
and the camp was a very powerful camp it was a camp called in the wild for a church called living faith this camp was known for supernatural occurrences i'm here a grown man going for the first time and because young adults would go too and i remember they painted a backdrop and it was the theme of the camp now i won't get into the thing because the theme would reveal what i saw but they lifted up the backdrop it was a tall grassy field and it was the same figure that i saw in my dream
or in my encounter that was painted on the on the backdrop and so that was another confirmation to me like i saw the lord jesus from there i went to the camp nothing happened everyone got encountered by god as a matter of fact god used me to pray for people that were encountering god but nothing happened to me i didn't i couldn't even feel god the one thing that happened to me was a man walked up to me a good friend to this day and gave me a prophetic word and he said uh hey jordan
the lord says that he has just dropped you in a new fishbowl and the lord said when you drop a new fish into a bigger fishbowl the fish has to swim around and figure out what the familiar places of that fish bowl is so the lord says you are in a season that has been instituted by him but you're still feeling it out and there's grace for you to fill out this new season and so it was a very encouraging word and it blessed me because i was actually in the field crying um and i
was in the field like you know just really upset because everyone's encountering god and i'm pretty sure someone saw me crying and thought oh he's encountering god no i was upset because i wasn't encountering god and so i go back home and i seek the lord for a few days as soon as i get home like i drop my bags jump in the shower and i just go in prayer and i just like begin to begin to worship the lord and begin to tell him how good he was and how much i loved him still
and because i was still on fire from that encounter that i had right before i went to in the wild and so i'm seeking out for the next few days one of the nights my mom is cooking dinner in the kitchen i'm in my bedroom praying and i'll never forget my mom texted me said you know dinner's about to be ready and i'm like okay bet so um those pork chops so you know i will never be delayed from my if if my mother can cook anything it is those pork chops do you hear me
so i'm getting ready to go eat my mom's famous pork chops and um i feel the i feel the anointing the presence of god for the first time in this way it felt like someone took a ball of electricity and just placed it at the center top part in between my shoulders in the back like the back of my neck and i remember thinking i'm having a nervous breakdown some kind of nerve issue oh god and i went too deep and then and something else is touching me you know i got really scared like this
is weird and so i start like feeling it i said maybe like my tag to my shirt is touching me there and it's like and i'm like nothing's moving and i'm like okay so i go back to and so i'm going to pray a little longer than i'm going to go eat dinner so i'm i go to pray again and the same feeling comes on me and i'm like what is that like what is that and so i um i i have him about three times so at one point i just get tired of it
and take my shirt off and rip the tag out of my shirt and then put my shirt back on it and say i'm going to pray i'm going to seek you god so then it comes on me again and so i try to get up and i got a little nervous i thought running out the room i thought about honestly the power of god the presence of god came into my room like a swooping bird almost hit me picked me up in the air and i flew back onto my bed and i said that can't
be god and i made a decision i'm gonna get the heck up out of here yo this is scary as a mug so i get up and i'm not trying to run up out the room god came in the room picked me back up threw me back on again and i was like oh nah like this is bad so i i get up and the power of god did again pick me up in the air threw me to bed again and by this time i'm laughing i'm crying uncontrollably both screaming yelling at god it's not
supposed to be like this it's not supposed to this is not right who have you done this to are you this rough with everyone you love like i was just like yelling to god but it was one of the and by this time the electricity in the present the fire of god had consumed my whole body i was unbarely able to move all i could do was roll and scream and cry and laugh at the same time now to to somebody out it might have looked like i was in pain but there was no pain
it was it was to this day one of the most powerful experiences that i have ever had with god ever um i'm sorry i got a little excited but um so after that god would come into my room physically the walls would begin to creak from the presence of god coming into the room my floor would move as somebody was walking on it towards me and at times i would feel the bed pressed down next to me as if someone sat next to me and i would feel a hand on my back when i would
be seeking him um at the time i had a cousin you know who wasn't the best influence on me he was kind of sweet trying to sway me to go into a different way and every time i would uvu him if you remember uvu you old school uvu but i would over him and we talked and he was living in florida at the time um the lord would come into the room and interrupt our conversation and i'd be like cousin he's here i would try to ovulate him every night because i was really close to
him and the lord would come into the room and be like i'm ready to spend time with you like i'll hear his voice he would say something i would hear him come into the room and i'd be like oh my god like he i'm like he's here cousin and my customer like again because it would happen every time i try to talk to him and the lord was like drawing me out of something else that i was trying to get involved in it was during that time where god broke pornography off me um i didn't
want it i wanted his presence more um pornography is nothing but a a deep longing for intimacy but i was being satisfied in intimacy by the presence of god by the holy spirit so after that um the gifts of the spirit begin to turn onto me um i begin to see uh people get healed like never before i saw him in high school but it was like like it was like clockwork it was crazy um i would stand up and chirp my church and prophesy give the word of the lord the gifts and the word
of knowledge and prophecy would become much more sharp sometimes i would get names i would get dates i would get information about people's lives i would evangelize i actually evangelized so much i thought i was an evangelist and i was like forget this whole prophet thing like i'm trying to be an evangelist and i learned very quickly that i was not an evangelist but i would get a lot of people saved um i would go to walmart get words of knowledge for the cashiers for waiters and waitresses and god would really just begin my ministry
in high gear from that point on
