- God called me to preach 01/10/1990, and the same year He birthed Candlestick Crusades into my heart. I had no idea it would take 34 years of life’s ups & downs, blessings & trials, successes & failures… to launch this specific ministry.
- I have evangelized 30 years, pastored 20 years, but I have yet to fulfill God’s completed calling on my life. Satan says it’s too late, but that’s a lie. “For the gifts and callings of God are without repentance” Romans 11:29. That means God’s call does not change! He knew my beginning & end on earth when He called me.
- Furthermore, we live in too desperate of a time to sit on the sidelines now. The only hope of America is a God-sent Revival! Nothing short of a Divine Visitation will work!
- So here it is... Candlestick Crusades, INC
IS THERE ANY BIBLE FOR THIS?
1. To bring the churches "candlesticks" together on neutral ground in any given community.
- When the local churches worship in unity, God is pleased and is more likely to add souls in that warm-hearted environment.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head,
that ran down upon the beard,
even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; ”
- Psalms 133:1-2
- It's amazing, too, that the "ointment" or oil is also what fuels the Candlesticks or lampstands mentioned in the Bible, like oil lamps still used today in power outages.
- Also, the oil running down Aaron’s beard speaks of the Spirit of God flowing down upon the Body of Christ, the Great High Priest! – 1 Sam 16:13 and Heb 4:14
“And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” - Acts 2:46-47
2. To be a Light in a darkened world!
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men…” - Matthew 5:14-16
- People have heard the gospel long enough. They need to also see it! When they see the Light, more will come to it! They will see it once we love Jesus and love each other, despite our minor differences!
“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” - John 13:35
HOW WILL ALL THIS WORK?
• I am currently employed at my secular job, but I have flexibility of schedule.
• I will meet with any group of pastors or ministerial alliance, share my calling & vision, and schedule a date on neutral ground.
• I will be available during regular service times to preach & share my vision with congregations, or the pastor can show a short video of my ministry during a selected service.
• Candlestick Crusades will be insured for each meeting, will rent the ground or facility, rent the tent if needed, rent chairs, stage, nice portable trailer bathroom facilities, pay singers who have their own sound system, and pay the preacher(s).
• Candlestick Crusades will provide stage decorations & exterior banners.
• We will accept volunteers to help decorate the meeting place, direct parking, secure the premises, work altars, and to bring & oversee water jugs and cups.
• There will be nothing but prayer the day or night before the meeting at the crusade site.
• Candlestick Crusades will fund the first meeting. We will accept donations at the meeting via offering plate and electronically to help fund the next crusade.
• I will introduce each convert or revived person to the area pastor closest to their personal address. Pastor, you must follow up with your new babe in Christ or renewed one in Christ.
