"How it all Began"

CHOSEN VESSELS

In the beginning of 1964 in San Francisco, California, one afternoon I was sitting in a Prayer meeting with Eva Zakarian (a Mighty Prayer Warrior) and with two other sisters. While praying, all of a sudden the Lord spoke to me through prophecy.

PROPHECY

"My daughter, one of these days I will give you a dream. When this dream comes be not afraid for it is I speaking to you through this dream. There is something in this dream I will show you."

After three solid months, this Prophecy came to pass. It was 4:10 a.m. of March 1964. I had a very exciting and a beautiful dream.

DREAM

Truly I saw a colorful vision of: "My husband and I walking on the road and found a pool surrounded by big rocks on the wayside. When we got inside the pool, there was no water, but only dry ground. I saw dead fishes in various colors in all sizes inside the pool. I could smell the bad odor all around. We were standing in the middle of the pool facing each other, and we bent down and began working inside the pool. We patched up holes between the rocks on all sides of the pool. Truly, I saw our hands set all things beautifully in place, then I turned around and looked up to the sky and it began to rain, filling the pool to the top with water until the pool began to overflow. Finally, I saw all the dead fishes come to life again! They swam joyfully around the pool enjoying the water very, very much."

When I awoke, I felt the Holy Presence of the Lord and I had a great assurance of his Divine Calling upon my Husband and I to reach out to the lost souls, not only to the Samoan people, but all people of different ethnic backgrounds, this was the meaning of the "Various colors of fishes" in my dream.

This was confirmed when we first started our Church in San Francisco. Those attending were; Samoans, Caucasians, African Americans, Filipinos and Hispanics - Praise God for his People coming together!

The Lord gave me understanding and showed me that the whole work has to be done by the Mighty Anointing Power of the Precious Holy Spirit!. Him alone can give life to the Church!

Praise God, he raised us to stand in his house and declare this "Fountain of living water" (Holy Spirit)! Today, this same Holy Spirit is still flowing in every Church of this Organization and wherever we go! Thank God he is not a man that he should lie. "Not by Might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord (Zech 4:6)."

This is a testimony of how the Ministry of the Voice of Christ Full Gospel Church, Inc., was established of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me (John 10:27)."
