In early 1996, I sold my business so that I could start my ministry. Then out of the blue, a pastor from a local church invited me to join his mission team to Fiji. I accepted without hesitation. Then another invitation while I was in Fiji. The team did not have enough preachers.
Could I preach in three different locations in Fiji? “What would the crowd size be like,” I asked. I was told the church congregation ranged from 200 to 400 people. Imagine when the first night came, the church rented a stadium for me to preach and already the crowd was over 5,000 people. My knees began to shake. I thought I was dreaming and suddenly I had no confidence in the well prepared text that I had to preach.
But the minute I stood on the pulpit, I felt the ministering anointing hit my body for the first time and suddenly I was preaching another message. “The Holy Spirit is running the meeting and I must rely fully on Him,” I told myself. When I said the mass healing prayer, there were many movements from the people in front. Some of them began to throw out like they were possessed. Some began to show that they were healed. When I made the salvation call, hundreds came forward.
In Sydney, the technician forgot to put a battery in the cordless microphone I was using. Yet the microphone worked for over 3 hours when I was preaching until someone took over the microphone and it could not work. Trying to replace the battery inside, it was then that we discovered that there was no battery inside.
Many saw open visions of angels in meetings in Singapore and Indonesia.
In Surabaya, Indonesia some were so drunk in the Spirit that they had to be carried home.
Physical and inner healings take place, some through word of knowledge.
God’s move is sovereign and it is up to Him to perform miracles, signs and wonders in His time. We cannot demand when and where He should move.
