My Testimony

Hi Brother Gan
As for ETM churches, I have found none yet in East London. We have a couple
of charismatic churches and then a lot of traditional churches.
Brother Gan, You are asking how I came to the truth, so I am going to tell
you a small testimony of myself.
I grew up in a religious Afrikaan-speaking church. Never knew God, only when
and how the church started. Upon my confirmation I went fishing the weekend
before and so much pressure was put on me by the elders and preacher and
they were unsure whether they could confirm me into church as I went fishing
instead of coming to church. I was a young man of 17 and that night I
shouted in my room to God asking him why should I serve im or go to church
as I do not know him. Needless to say that night I got a nightmare. It was a
maze with a beginning and ends. One end was a cliff and the other end was a
bright light. No matter what I did, I always fell off the cliff into
darkness and woke up being scared. This carried on for about 2 years and
then stopped. Life carried on for me and I got married. 7 Years after the
first nightmare my wife and I submitted our lives to the Lord Jesus and that
night I got the same dream again. Only this time I ended up in the bright
light and woke up with great joy.
A while later I dreamed again of how I was walking with the Lord Jesus
through a jungle and we came to a stream where I was washing the Lords feet.
While washing the Lords feet a goat made a noise in the jungle and the Lord
said to me. “Go and fetch that ooat and make him a sheep.”
Later on I also had a dream where I was kneeling in front of the Lord where
he was sitting on a beautiful chair made of cloud. Around us was several
flowers coming out of the cloud. These were lives I brought to the Lord.
I was always hunting and never satisfied. I was also in and out of churches
thinking that the religious feeling and emotion I had was great. Yes, I
backslid many times. Something was lacking though.
In my prayer life I always prayed for the Lord to show me the truth as the
truth will set me free.
I changed jobs and I met a guy called Chris Vaghi (He has also mailed you
already.) He told me about William Branham. When I read his manuscripts I
knew that this was the truth. I could not stop reading, and finding your
site helped me so much. I truly enjoy the way you explained eternity to
eternity on charts.
Of late I had 2 more dreams. The one is where I was walking with a group of
people and a cloud appeared. It was very ominous and I said to the people we
should go back. We turned around and the next minute fire balls from heaven
rained down on earth. I saw how these balls went right through walls and
killing people. However, I had a pillow and with this pillow I could block
the balls and no harm happened to me or anybody with me.
The next dream (about one year later and one year ago) was also a cloud and
this went into the shape of a whip and went right around earth. I saw the
whip hit down on earth and woke with the Lord telling me a third of the
population has died.
Brother Gan, I'm no apostle but I fear God. I pray for my family every night
as they cannot see the truth as I see it. Many of my family members I
suspect think that I have lost the plot. (In other words, gone astray and do
not follow religious church standards.) I can never go back though. Because
once you know the truth, you can never look back again.
God bless, brother Gan
Joe
