07. Start of the ministry of the Gospel

Start of the ministry of the Gospel

God gave me many opportunities to testify about Him and preach the Gospel to many people. On one occasion the Holy Spirit sent me to a cemetery. There I found a woman wailing over a grave. I shared with her the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She listened attentively and her tears of sorrow turned into tears of joy. She believed in God and in the Lord Jesus Christ. On another occasion an angel told me: “Go to the church building which I showed you.” I saw St. Martin’s church in Bratislava. He showed me this place twice. By the way, I wanted to go to the post office, but the angel didn’t let me go there. I could not see the angel’s face, just his back with his beautiful wings. When I came to the church building a young man came out, greeted me and said: “Paul, Paul, how is it possible that we meet here?” I answered: “The Lord sent me here through His angel!” The young man was one of my friends-theologians. We had met in the military service in a work camp where we spent just a short time together. Then he lived in Nitra and at that time was only visiting my city. When we met at St Martin I preached to him the full Gospel – he was blessed and received a great joy A few days later another theologian came to me who had been excluded from a theological school because of his zeal for God. The Lord showed him the truth and he decided to be baptized in water. He found out that living according to Roman Catholic theology is not quite biblical. He said he would not go home without being baptized in the Danube River...

We prayed for him and God gave us revelation about him: he was going along a narrow road, carrying Jesus’ cross and following the Lord Jesus. On that day he was baptized in the Danube River and went back home rejoicing

Also one catholic priest converted. He was zealous for God, too. The Lord revealed to him the truth of the Gospel. He was ministering in the Catholic church for seven years, but was disappointed with the teaching there, because every morning believers went to Mass, but in the afternoon they used to spend time in taverns, drinking alcohol and cursing God. He converted and was baptized in water and also into the Holy Spirit and became a zealous preacher of the full Gospel. Several priests from the catholic office came to him and offered him a new car, new house and a new church building etc, if he would come back. But his answer was: “I have received much, much more from God than you can give me.”

One time the Holy Spirit sent me to a crossroad in the city. While I was standing there, it started to rain and I wanted to leave. But the Holy Spirit did not let me go. After a short time two women came to me. I walked in the same direction as they did and heard them talking about faith in God. They were asking each other questions, and I could answer them. They were amazed. I invited them to the church, and the same evening they decided for Jesus Christ. One of them was baptized into the Holy Spirit

Another opportunity came when I was returning home. I was inspired by the Holy Spirit to go to a hospital. I just sat down on a bench when a woman came up to me and asked me for help. She said: “Sir, help my friend to get home, please, because she had an accident.“ We were waiting for an ambulance for a long time but it did not arrive. So we started off with her. During our journey the patient told me: “Only God might send you here. We had been waiting for a long time to get help.” I answered: “Yes, that’s right. I was sent here by God. I had received an inspiration on my way home.” They were amazed to hear that. When we entered into their house, I looked on the table, and there was a Bible. I took it and opened it at John 3:16 and began to read and preach the Gospel. They were very joyful and we prayed together. God saved this household. Praise the Lord!

Once again I was on a mission. As I was walking to a village an ambulance stopped by me and the driver spoke to me. I told him that he rescued people from their physical illnesses, but that they also needed to be saved from their spiritual diseases and spiritual death. Then I preached the Gospel in the village and afterwards intended to leave. However, the Holy Spirit led me to a house where only the wife was a believer. But her husband was against the faith. I spoke to him about Jesus Christ and prayed with him and then we sang some Christian songs, playing the guitar. After that I noticed that the man’s face changed and he respected me. The next day as I wanted to leave the house, the man took me outside and told me: “If you did not come to our house yesterday, I probably would be dead by now. I wanted to hang myself. But you brought a new hope into my life. God helped me and He saved me!” In this way he also converted, thanks to God!

Another time the Lord led me to an unknown house in a very special way. I entered the hall, but nobody was in there. I looked up and there was an inscription on the wall: “Do not fear, for I am with you.” Hallelujah! It gave me hope. Then the man and woman who lived there came in and welcomed me. They were very joyful. They were Baptist believers and wanted to be baptized into the Holy Spirit. As we were praying together, the woman was baptized into the Holy Spirit and praised God in new tongues. She said: “We have been praying for this gift for many months and today God answered our prayers. Praise the Lord!”
