Great Awakening Tour City #14 Maui, Hawaii
1st time out–out of 17 people–6 were saved–only 4 rejected–+6 asked Christ into heart–Ray Park area–thank you + were very happy! 17 years old–1st time witnessing 9 out of 20 people got saved. He saw people’s countenance change and they became happy after the prayed. He just read the script–it was a lot easier with the script. He was very appreciative of his team leader–Sue–who helped him to step out–he felt very encouraged
My wife and I along with our 4 children attended that service that night. We were expecting a touch from God. He didn’t disappoint us! I was jolted really good that night, drove back 4 hours to home that night drunker than a skunk! You see, something that night happened but didn’t know what it was, but something that the Lord was going to do. The next week I was watching Jester Franklin on TV and he was teaching on fasting. Very good teaching on the subject. The Holy Spirit began to deal with me on that, and Im not talking about a 2 or 3 day fast, but a 20 or 30 day fast. I promised the Lord I would began a fast to seek him and only Him after I felt better. You see, I wasn’t feeling very good. Kind of the Flu bug. So on December 6 2006, I went home from work, after working for 1 hr that day. I began to vomit every 10 to 15 minutes, with that was extreme pain in my stomach area.
I did that for 4 hours straight without any relief and the pain intensified every time I vomited. My wife took to the ER and they discovered I had a Gallstone that was lodged in a duct, and it required surgery. The doctor wouldn’t put me in surgery until Saturday and this was on a Wednesday, because my kidneys would shut down on the operating table. So I laid in the hospital for 3 days in great pain. It was supposed to be a normal routine gallbladder surgery, instead it became a old routine surgery. That means the old fashioned cut from the chest to belly button. The doctor got in there and discovered I developed Parities. That gallstone blocked everything which backed up all that poison on my liver, pancreas and etc. I stayed in the ICU for 7 days, with a 50 50 shot of making it. Doctor left my stomach open for 3 days to get that infection out, and then another surgery to close me up. I was supposed to stay in the hospital for 6 weeks, but I got out of there in 2. I left the hospital with a feeding tube inserted in my small intestine and a drain tube inserted in my stomach. I got to be home for Christmas!!!!
I finally ate my first meal on January 3 2007, a full month without eating anything!!!! The feeding and drain tubes came out on the 17th that month and went back to work on February 12th. What Im trying to get around to is this. Without that touch I received in November, I believe I wasn’t going to live trough that ordeal. Im at a age of 35 years, healthy, but would have died without a healing touch from Jesus!! And for the fasting story, Didn’t eat anything for 30 days and I fasted and kept my promise somehow. Lost 40 lbs., which I needed to lose, but not recommended the way I did it!!! My wife and I watched God move in front of our eyes. My boss had a check for me every week, and he played me over a 40 hour work week. Local churches including ours gave us money, food, Christmas gifts for the kids and many other things. Family and friends visited and was reunited with one of my closest friend. I have insurance with a 2500 hundred deductible. Every hospital bill is paid in full, with the money given to us. God supplied every penny!!! Not only these gifts, but peoples lives were changed in my community of 7000 people trough this ordeal. The bottom line is this. Jesus loves us, but what’s sad is we don’t love him enough. He has called me to preach the gospel, save the lost, because HE IS COMING!!!!! And that’s what im going to do. I have fallen in Love with JESUS all over again. I had to share this testimony because it started with you Pastor Rodney. May God bless you and your entire family. God Bless, Bryan and Kari Haynes.
