How did I meet Doyle Davidson?

I'm convinced that it was God's purpose for me to spend five years at a Pentecostal Church. Although I was attending that place, The Lord Jesus continued to teach me in the upper room. That is my Father's will, that I have fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ, my Lord. 1 Co 1: 9

During my stay with the Pentecostals, I saw many things that didn't coincide with what Jesus had taught me; for instance:

They said they spoke in tongues, when I only heard them speak four or five repetitive words, as if they were babes or retarded.

They spent two, three hours casting out devils, and I'm not sure if these ever left or stayed.

When laying hands on the sick, I hardly ever saw results. Perhaps the one or two healings I saw, were because of the recipient's faith, not the minister's.

In one occasion, a woman seemed to have an asthma attack, and The Lord Jesus commanded me to cast out the devil that was provoking the asthma. When I was doing so, the pastor approached us and asked the woman if she was alright, if she didn't want him to call 911. Imagine!

On another occasion, I made a comment to the pastor about something that Jesus had told me, and his response was: How come Jesus always speaks to you and he doesn't speak to me? Very sad what is out there!

What I saw, in other words, is written in James 3: 14-16

For five years, I was like a pestilent cell among them, and only because I believed God!

I was named deacon in the congregation. While this was an honor and a self seeking position to many of them, to me, it was a simple and absolute joke. I had read several times about Philip and Stephan and no comparison at all!.

One day, by the end of 1994 and being fed up by such nonsense, I asked the Lord if there was someone out there, that He had instructed and taught, the same way that He had instructed and taught me. I felt like if I was in a small boat and alone, in the middle of the ocean.

Few nights later, while I was asleep, the Lord Jesus whispered in my ear: Doyle Davidson!

I had never heard of him before. I didn't know who he was! Still, three years went by before I saw Doyle on television for the first time in my life. By then, I had already left the Pentecostals. Jesus didn't want me there anymore, and put me in stand by. It has been ten years since.

I was in electronics during the nineties, and in 1997 I had a service call to program and adjust a satellite system; while programming satellites, in this case, Galaxy 4, in one of the transponders for religious channels, I saw the starting pattern of a program with the words: Doyle Davidson! Right there and then, my heart jumped, because instantly the spirit of God reminded me of my three year long petition.

I began to watch his programs, and also, I was attentive for his trips to Anaheim, California. I attended three meetings consecutively when the Lord spoke to me and said: Do you want me to continue teaching you?, or do you want Doyle to teach you?. Of course you Lord, I said. Even though I had said that I preferred my Lord Jesus' instruction, God put in my heart that I should continue to watch Doyle. It seemed like if I was corroborating doctrine, but I didn't realize that I had began to watch Doyle online more and more often. I felt in my heart that the Lord Jesus was pleased with that!. This past October of 2007, I finally realized the reason why I never felt disobedient. 1Peter 5: 5 was becoming a reality in my life.

Glory be to God!
