In the year of 2016, I was leading the Men’s ministry at a local church for the second time. The first church that we joined when we moved to Florida over 16 years ago was a blessing to me and my family. I was appointed the leader of Men’s Ministry there after a short period of time and I was also over the finance ministry of the church. One afternoon while counting the money given from tithes and offerings, the prophet visiting the church told them to come and get me and he prophesied God was calling me to pastor over 15 years ago in 2003, but I didn’t obey the calling. Years later we joined another local church in Florida and I was appointed the leader over the Men’s ministry again. I was comfortable in that position and had no desire to pastor. One day in the middle of worship service the Lord communicated to me STREETS clearly and I immediately said Lord what does STREETS mean? Immediately He said SAINTS TAKING RIGHTFUL ENEMY EARTHLY TERRITORY SUPERNATURALLY! Of course by His Holy Spirit.
Preparation
Later that week or so, I had a dream and the Lord told me that this was my last Sunday attending worship services with that local church. The first lady of the church and associate pastor was in the dream and she told me that she understood that it was my last Sunday. I didn’t want to leave because I loved the fellowship with the brothers and sisters of the church. I’m grateful for the senior pastor and all that he’s done. They wanted me to wait and get sent off what they viewed a properly send off in front of the church, but I chose to obey God and never returned. For the last three years I’ve been preparing and patiently waiting for God to Guide and lead me in His own timing, not mine.
