34 Angel <strong>of</strong> Light<br />

in the sanctuary after everything went down with the woman I dated for<br />

a few weeks <strong>and</strong> simply weeping uncontrollably in the dark. I knew I<br />

had failed God. I was at the altar area asking his forgiveness. I literally<br />

felt arms around me <strong>and</strong> that my head was on a shoulder. I don’t know<br />

to this day if it was the Lord or an angel, but I do know I was not alone<br />

that day in the sanctuary.<br />

It was January <strong>of</strong> 1997. During this time, the Lord called me to a radical<br />

life <strong>of</strong> prayer. This all began after my sin, but even before I left the<br />

church in Mesquite. God had broken me <strong>and</strong> I was ready for his touch.<br />

I began to pray for hours a day <strong>and</strong> get into the word. After leaving the<br />

church I continued this life <strong>of</strong> prayer. Living with my parents, being<br />

single, <strong>and</strong> being rejected by people helped me have plenty <strong>of</strong> time for<br />

this. I would spend at times 12 hours straight in prayer. Right before I<br />

left the previous church I was at, I attended a powerful revival service<br />

with anointed man <strong>of</strong> God there that was a visiting evangelist. I had<br />

seen this type <strong>of</strong> service my whole life, but this was different. I knew<br />

this man was someone that walked with God. He came by me <strong>and</strong> put<br />

his Bible on my head during the altar time at the end <strong>of</strong> the service. I<br />

fell over sideways in my pew. He went on praying for others. Then after<br />

I stood up, he called me down to the front <strong>and</strong> said that when he was<br />

around my age, a man from London came to preach were he was at<br />

<strong>and</strong> passed his mantle onto him. Then the evangelist went on to say,<br />

“The Holy Spirit says you are to receive this mantle tonight.” This evangelist<br />

prayed over me seven times baptizing me into what he called his<br />

mantle. I fell each time <strong>and</strong> others picked me up. Those around me<br />

told me later that the whole group around me would fall too <strong>and</strong> others<br />

would have to rush up to the front to come pick me up. All I remember<br />

was feeling God stronger than I ever felt him in my life. I was out for a<br />

long time pinned to the floor under the glory <strong>of</strong> God. So God was moving<br />

in my life as well.<br />

I had left the church in Mesquite devastated, <strong>and</strong> It was now in 1997<br />

that I would revisit the Pensacola revival again. I knew that my life was<br />

in a destruction period <strong>and</strong> I needed answers. I had a girl friend that I<br />

met at the church before I left that I would marry later. I had just read a<br />

book by Benny Hinn called The Anointing. During the reading <strong>of</strong> this<br />

book, the Lord spoke to me that I was to be an end time Apostle. This<br />

was not encouraging at all. This literally scared me half to death. I<br />

never felt I would really even be in the ministry. I was a failure <strong>and</strong><br />

knew it. How could I ever do anything for the Lord? I didn’t even know<br />

what an Apostle was! I wept through reading the whole book The<br />

Anointing <strong>and</strong> couldn’t put it down. While in line at the revival in Florida<br />

a man from London approached me. He said, “I have a word from God<br />

for you.” I was open to any kind <strong>of</strong> encouragement that could possibly<br />

come to me. He said, “You have a strong Apostolic calling upon your
