Your testimony by Pastor George Duke

More than by any other means my testimony has helped me to win more people to the Lord Jesus Christ than any other.Please use yours to win souls. Do not underestimate what your testimony can do. 2 Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

After service in the UK in the USAF when I came back to the USA I took Carol my English bride to visit a Pentecostal church and after the service was over on the way home Carol looked at me and said I will never go back to one of those churches. Well at that time I was not eager about living the Christian life so I did not say anything. Many years later Carol would began searching for God and it indeed brought her back to the church she said she never wanted to go back too. In her quest she met with all different types of religions. Jehovah witnesses, Mormons, Seventh day Adventists, Baptist, on and on she searched. One day on a Sunday I came in from work and when I entered the house she was there with tears in her eyes. She looked at me and said we are going to church tonight. I looked at her and asked what’s wrong with you? She then related how she had gone back to one of those Pentecostal Churches and I felt something I never felt before! That night we attended the service and at the end of the sermon tears were flowing down both of our faces. I looked over at her and she looked at me and she said lets go down to the alter. I folded my arms and bowed my head and a little voice spoke to me and asked what would the other Policemen think of you if they saw you now? I opened my eyes and told Carol no, I am not going down there. She then stepped into the aisle and went to the front. I kept standing there and in just a few minutes a man came rushing to me crying out Guess what? I asked What? She just got the Holy Ghost. I said in a sarcastic manner Is that right? Well I did not know what the Holy Ghost was at that time. The weird thing was Carol really did not know what had happened to her. Three days later she called a sister in the church and told her Dot you know what happened to me the other night? Dot said yes you received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Carol said well I am still doing it! Carol had received the Holy Ghost baptism and spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance and did not understand it? After this wonderful thing happened in her life something else happened that was for the bad and not for her good. I became worse to her telling her I was not going back to church and if the Preacher wanted her there he could come pick her up. Carol prayed and prayed for me. VOICE OF GOD SPEAKS TO ME It was on one of those work nights that I was getting ready for work at the theatre when Carol began praying for me. All of a sudden the Spirit of God spoke to me and I heard God telling me I needed to get into church. I had never had the Lord to speak to me in this manner and it scared me to death. Instantly I fell down on my knees and began to ask God to forgive me of my sins. I told God if he would forgive me I would live for him. I prayed for some time and got up and called the Theatre and told them I would not be able to work that night. They asked me why> I said I can not tell you why but I just can not work there tonight. The next day was Sunday and off to church I went with a delighted Carol and children. After this voice of God experience I never missed church unless I had duty. What Carol received the first night I had to seek for month’s. GOD ALLOWS ME TO DRINK OF LIVING WATER It was so fantastic what had happened to me that night God filled me. Earlier in the day my brother Bob had telephoned me and asked me to go to Montgomery, Alabama with him. I told him Bob I would love to go but our church is in revival and I believe that I will get the Holy Ghost tonight. Any other time I would have loved to have gone with him because i looked up to him. Bob was a Newspaper reporter and had done really well. He had worked at the Mobile Press Register for a long time and had a great reputation as a reporter. He had been in Mobile, Alabama when Jeanne Dixon had come and made a prediction of the death of Robert Kennedy. Ruth Montgomery in her book on Jeanne Dixon speaks about reading the article and lists Bobs name as her reference. I looked up to Bob but he was a skeptic on receiving the Holy Ghost. He believed in God healing power though and his miracles but not people receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. Well I did not go with Bob and that night God did fill me with the bible experience of the Holy Ghost. i was drunk on the Spirit and when I came around and looked up Bob was there in the church watching me get it. I got up walked over to him and said Bob guess what I got it? He looked funny at me and said You did? That look on his face has always remained with me. But there I was a born again Christian filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus name. You can read more on my website menu Guns2theGospel www.actchurch.com/
