A few months ago in 07 It was not a dream but more like a live vision of Jesus; I was in bed it seem that I awoke it was still very dark but there was the face of Jesus Christ standing there in living color and he was looking at me, he was smiling I saw his face he had long black hair, a black beard his face had this smile on it as He looked at me he was so handsome and beautiful he had a kind of Jewish look to him.

But for some reason after looking at him for awhile I jump and he was now gone I don’t know why I acted like that, I began to  ask myself why did I jump I got so upset at my own self why did I jump?.

               Robert; Story

This is a true story; my story;

My name is Robert Minnick and this is my own story;

I was born in the state of South Carolina and as a youth I have always believe in God; but I did not know Him; and as a youth I went to a Baptist church, they taught religion, and they talk about joining the church, singing in the choir, that is what they call working for God, but no real life change.

When I got a little older I went to a seven day advents Church service that was started in my grand mother  home, I learn a lot about keeping the Ten Commandment law, and keeping the Sabbath day. Saturday was the most importation day. and in this religion, you did not eat hog meat or catfish, but no one ever repented of their sins,there. But  Just keep the Sabbath day and kept the law of Moses.

At the age of about fourteen; I went to the church of God in Christ, now at this church they talk more about speaking in tongues, you had to ask the Lord to saved you, one night, get sanctify the next; speak in tongues the next and this was the only way to really be saved was speaking in tongues.

At about sixteen; I went to a holiness church it was almost the same just like that church of God in Christ, that I had gone to, I also had read the Holy Bible from clover to clover.

I did all this and still did not know Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

I do also remember when I was younger I prayed from the bottom of my heart and cried telling the Lord that I wanted to go to Heaven when I die.

Now at the age of about sixteen I went by my grand mother house one day and she was watching Minister Billy Graham; preaching; the gospel message on TV.

From that time on when he was on TV; I started watching him; I was so touch by his messages.

If there was a dance or a party going on and Billy Graham was coming on TV I would tell my friends I was not going I was going to watch Billy Graham tonight; they felt like something was wrong with me, I just wanted to go to Heaven, I also believe hell was real.

One day I prayed to the Lord; and I told Him I know that the bible talk about living right, but I did not see anyone else doing it, the way the bible said do it.

I believe the bible was also God true word.

I even wrote Billy Graham a letter asking him how do I become a real Christian; he sent me some papers, but I did not really understand the depth of what he was trying to tell me at that time, because my spiritual eyes and ears was not open to see and hear.

And to understand the gospel message.

About three years later I met a minister from Austin Texas; who also had heard Mr, Graham on the radio in 1949; when he live in California, he was a gambler he got caught up with the wrong people and they tried to take his life; and in a jail cell running for his life he felt no hope Jesus spoke to him and ask him if he died fighting he would go to hell.he call on the Lord; to saved him; the Lord not only saved him, but deliver him and call him into the ministry to preach the gospel many years later.

At the age of nineteen Nov; 28, 1971 I gave my life to Jesus; and made Him my Lord and my Savior.

I end up getting marriage at nineteen now I can see now that this was a mistake I was to young nothing but a kid myself, but I tried to make it work, it was not easy.

It ends in divorce after many years there had always been problems, and one was because I was to young myself not really ready to get married at my age and I was also eight years younger.

Now let me tell you about my Church that I use to belong to, I was taught to live a holy life, and taught about Jesus, but not taught that He was God; but lesser that He was created by God; I was also taught about the Holy Spirit; not as God or as a person but just the power of God.

Just the power of God at work; and also speaking in tongues was not allow, it was taught to be a lesser gift and one that you did not really needed or want.

I was also taught against women preachers, and taught that not too many churches or ministers were right or real with God.

We had no real fellowship with any other church, it was almost like we were the only ones right.

It came to a point with the head minister and what he said was law, almost as if he was God himself.

Now don’t get me wrong this minister live a clean godly life, and he also help many people but some of his views teaching that I saw in the bible that he taught I felt was wrong.

 Now as for me I guess because I did study my bible; and with a lot of prayer I did not agree with a lot of his views, I did see that Jesus was God; and that the Holy Spirit was a real person; and that He was God the Spirit; I also saw that speaking in tongues was one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit; I also saw in the Old Testament and New Testament that God did use women in special ways.

Now my ex-wife and most of all the church had most of their faith in the head minister, and it was like he was almost God himself.

For what he said was law, because a lot of the church did not study the bible for themselves.

But what I am about to tell you had a big affect on my marriage, that end up bring conflict because of the things that happen to me.

As I write this I have now been living by myself since Dec10, 1999, each day I think the Lord for His love and mercy that He has for me and for His keeping power that has kept me from falling.

Looking back to the year of 1990, speaking of June and July I became restless in my Christian life.

 I felt like something was missing in my Christian walk; I could not put my finger on the problem or what was really missing.

I just felt like I wanted to do more and get closer to the Lord, but I did not know how to go about getting  any closer to Him.

Just thinking back I have been a Christian since Nov, 28, 1971 and I knew that I was born again, I already knew that I was already saved.

But looking over my life I felt like I had not done my all for the Lord, now I had read my Bible a lot and prayed and share about my faith.

I had spoken to a lot of people about the love of Christ and how to be born again.

Now when July came around I was really praying a lot and calling on the Lord Jesus to help me to draw nearer to him.

About the last two weeks of July I would wake up about three o’clock in the morning

And it seem like deep down inside a voice would be speaking to me about how Holy God is; and this went on for about three weeks. 

I went on a three and a half day fasted praying to the Lord that he would answer my prayers.

Up to this time I had already fasted four days and two and a half days in my Christian life.

On Saturday August 11th about ten thirty a.m I was in prayer I don’t know how long I had been praying.

when I felt like power coming all over me and I felt like a coal of fire went inside my chest.

And it burn but it did not hurt and I felt great joy it felt like I was like being born again of the Holy Spirit.

This feeling lasted for a few hours I began to praise the Lord for about three hours.

The next day was Sunday and I was glad.

When I went to church the next day the Lord bless me to have a word and I felt the

Holy Spirit speaking thought my voice to the church.

Monday I did not go to work I stayed at home and I felt so much peace inside, I knew that the experience that I had was not a normal one but one out of the ordinary to me this is how I felt.

Tuesday I stayed home also from work  I felt so peace.

Much joy and peace I was so happy, when I went to bed Tuesday night I laid my bible on my Chest and began to pray and call the names of each of the brothers and sisters in Christ; by name from my church, it seem like just a few hours had pass.

When I close my eyes I felt like I was floating and when I open my eyes I was still laying in my bed.

I close my eyes again and I begin to float again I had great peace of mind and spirit.

When I stop praying, I began to look up and meditate on the Lord for awhile, after awhile

There appeared a hole in the ceiling, and then a beam of light like fire came down through the hole in the ceiling and flew around and went back up through the hole and disappears.

And I could not believe what I was seeing, so I got out of my bed and cut on the light.

I started talking to myself about what I saw after a while I cut out the light and went back to bed.

While laying there in bed thinking on what had just happen, the room began to change it became jet black and it got real cloudy something like smoke, and after awhile a large beam of light came down.

Down into my bed room I didn’t know what to think or what to do, but just laying there and just looking at this sight.

Now the beam of light that came into my room in the beam of light it look like two eyes then the beam disappeared, I felt good and I was afraid also.

The room began to get cloudy again then two beams of light came down from the ceiling.

And a image or a spirit was in the beam of light and it disappeared and the room would get jet black afterward and then get very cloudy.

And more beams of light, would come and go. This went on most of the night, I had the feeling like this is too much for me to be dealing with.

Then a image or spirit came down had eyes like fire and flew around then later a picture appeared on the wall in my bed room.

Look like clouds was in the picture, the picture became blue the image of a man face appeared in the picture.

Different faces appear in the picture I just kept on looking like what is next this is hard to believe.

 To believe that this was happening to me who would believe me that this is really happening what would I do or who could I tell?

I was afraid I did not know what to do the picture disappeared the room became jet black.

A spirit got close to my face, and then another image stood in the door way it looks to have

Many little wings it turn left and it turn right, light was going on and off; it had eyes I said

To myself I will be glad when morning comes, because this went on all night long.

I tried to close my eyes not to see any more but with my eyes close I could still see as if My eyes were still open look like my eyes went blind then it became clear,again and  different image kept on flying.

Flying around the spirits never talk there was so much power in the room, I began to ask a question to the Lord.

 Oh Lord please help me because I didn’t understand what was really going on in my bed room.

Why this happening? because I was afraid and wanted to know why this was like this   and happening to me?

Wednesday morning about eight o’clock I call my pastor to let him know what had happen to me.

He said it was truly a revelation he said that I could talk about it at church that night.

When my wife came home from work I told her about it, she just listens to what I had to say.

When my wife left home I laid back down the bed seem to move I felt like I should close my eyes

when I laid back down close my eyes I began to float again I felt peace with my eyes closed.

I saw like a bright image and I was with the image going way up above the clouds we Kept on going up to what seem to be real brightness.

Later my wife came home I became restless I would lay down then I would get up lay down.

And get up walk around lay back down get back up so I laid back down in day light I saw another

Image appeared like a door with a light and it would change I close my eyes again I saw

Explosion as I travel I saw a building like a dome with a golden roof on top.

When I got to church that night the pastor met me he huge me and said that I had the power of God in my life.

In church we had some other brothers give their testimonies how the Lord was working in their life.

When the pastor got ready to pray I close my eyes I saw a vision of the pastor and a group of christian.

Marching down the idle of the church, after I finish speaking the pastor got up with a lesson.

On angels and bare witness of what I had said had happen to me, and that he was going to make me a minister.

Because of what had happen to me I said I did not want to be a minister.

When I got home from church and I went to bed after prayer I saw a spirit come near me it had

Blue coals of fire in each hand and put them into my eyes and my eyes burn but they did not hurt.

so later that Night I felt something go under the bed and I heard like wings moving I was still with my with my eyes close the bed seem to be moving, the next morning I went to work when I would Close my eyes I would began to travel later sitting in my car a cloud form on the window of my car and a face look at me and change I felt like it was evil.

Later the pastor had me to come by his house to talk to some of my brother and sister in Christ

At the pastor house I went to use the rest room, now in the rest room I had this bad feeling come all over me I felt so weak I didn’t know what it was.

After I left the pastor house I still felt this very weak feeling.

When I went to work the next day I still had that same weak feeling I went next door to the rest room.

Soon as I walk into the rest room it look like the shadow of a man was standing by the wall it threw some thing at me it seem to hit me in my chest.

Afterward all the weak feeling left me and I felt joy again and the spirit just disappeared.

When I went to bed turn out the light, the room became bright for about ten minute

The room would get dark the room would get cloudy then a spirit would appear  to be floating

Like it was vibrating it look like a vapor mix with fog with eyes the color was blue, white.

With spark of red, the room seem to be fill with a power and peace when I close my eyes I

Could still see the vapor with eyes close I began to travel with the image I saw many things, one time I open my eyes I was in space I saw the whole earth it was below I was traveling in space I don’t know how I got up there or got back in my bed.

When Saturday evening came a brother in Christ came to use the phone, my wife was cooking

Two water glasses were sitting on the table when I began to look at the glasses a cloud form on one of them.

 And it turns into a face the face look like a beast it was black with dark red eyes it also had three horns.

 These was on top of it head and a crown of gold was on each horn and it kept looking at me I ask my wife and I ask the brother that was using the phone.

Could they see the face on the glass they look and said they did not see anything on the glass.

They could not, then a crystal clear form of a man appear inside the other glass I don’t know

How long it lasted I can’t say but I felt inside my spirit that this was the devil being manifest in two forms.

Evil and an angel of light, when I went to bed that night my bed room became ice cold the kind of cold that is hard to believe this time a year.

This cold would have your bones freezing remember this not winter but this was August.

When I got to church Sunday and saw the pastor face I felt like some thing was wrong, like someone had been talking about me. 

One had been talking to the pastor about me and about my experience the pastor said he would make me a trustee instead of a minister.

I could not understand the change and it really hurted me.

The pastor told me in front of the church that the Lord was not using me to show him how to live.

Live in the spirit world oh my I was crush I couldn’t understand how he said it was a calling.

One time and now it seem to be a curse at this time, he did not say this with words but this is.

How I felt; I had only told him what had happen to me, not to be a minister or to be any thing at all.

He act to me like I had done some thing that was very wrong.

I was glad when church let out for the day I felt a change in my spirit I could not put my finger on.

it, now I felt that the devil was rejoicing at me now because he had worked and it really hurt.

Now that  I was down in my spirit and the devil took advantage of my feeling and made me not understand.

For some reason about a week later the pastor call for me to come over to his house to talk he ask me to tell him more.

More of the things that was happening to me so I told him, later that night one of his young minister came by his house he began to tell him that I had ran into God And also the devil power.

 He began to tell me how he had got saved about hearing the voice of the Lord, how his hair stood up on his arms.

But he did not see any thing, so I told him I did

Not say what had happen to me was greater than what had happen to him I only told you what I had seen then I knew someone had been talking to him about what had happen to me and it hurt..

And it has really hindered things for me.

I would like to say before I go on that the first six weeks of my experience; I got about only eight hours.

Hours of sleep in about a six weeks time.

My bedroom started to change when I went to bed cut out the light the ceiling would vanish disappear.

The face of the sky would appear like at night in my bed room and also the sounds of  the night.

I would hear this sound like a wind the face of the sky would appear in my room I saw these difference spirits would appear like a lion pass before my eyes and disappear some time.

I would feel like some thing would go under the bed I would hear what sounded like  wings flapping and it felt like the bed

would be moving and difference spirits would appear, now back at work at lunch time I laid back in my chair to rest and I would close my eyes for awhile.

The Next thing I knew I would be floating and see this vapor like image traveling places.

I would feel this vibrating power like pure electric I could not move but my whole body would be.

be vibrating, sometime when I felt this pure vibrating feeling I have had three of my watches  stop working and could not be fixed, with my eyes Close I Would still be traveling, and when I would pray I would feel like two hands on my head.

Later things started to change in my bed room.

For about eight nights remember how I had said how the ceiling would disappear the face of the sky would appear and a creature

would appear like in the book of revelation where it talks about locusts.

Having hair like a woman and teeth of a lions had a breastplates had two wings and a crown.

On it head I remember the first time I saw it coming from the sky into my room and it flew in my face.

I did not know what to do I kept asking the Lord to help me it seem like God was not there.

This happen about eight times the last time the locusts came into my room it moves under my bed cover.

I turn the cover back real fast I saw a cloud laying in my bed the locusts came up out the cloud

Man afterward I lost it I began to cry I felt that I was at wit ends no hope not anyone to hear or care I had come to my end.

After crying for awhile I then felt a being in my bed holding me and taking all my fear away. 

Seem like He held me a long time I talk to him and told him about all my fears and I don’t know how long I laid there before I when to sleep.

When I went back to church I did not want to say a word, you could tell that I had been the subject the main talk.

Sometime I would feel some one tap me on my shoulder when I would turn to see no one was there it worry me.

I was at a cross road in my life I did not know what to do or where to go for help.

Now my room at night became jet blue then a Strong arm would grab me take me up out of my bed.

I would try to get loose but did not have enough strength I would be flying then I would black out.

This happen to me many times I wanted to talk to someone that could help me I began to read many books about people stories their testimonies.

I started watching the 700 club on tv people would be giving testimonies about being raise from the dead; people being heal and many strange stories.

People being deliver from evil spirits, saw Angels, went to heaven, I said to myself maybe they can help me so I call them on the phone.

And talk to a lady and she said that she was glad that I had call and I told her my story and when I had finish telling her, my story she told me that she felt that when the Lord get finish with my life.

That I would have a great testimony I was glad I call.

Later I call David Wilkerson ministry I wanted to talk to Mr. Wilkerson about myself  but he was not there he was out of town ministing.

But one of his member prayed for me that the Lord would bless me.

I prayed to the Lord that if he let me find another real church somewhere else that I would leaves but the Lord did not lead me to go some where else.

I met Mahesh Chavda when he came to Austin Texas I had seen him on the 700 club program.

I had already read his book; he began to call people to come up for prayer I went up there to be prayed for.

He looks at me and said the Lord was doing something in my life.

After that meeting I also met Johanna michaelsen the author of; the beautiful side of evil, I told her my story.

After hearing my story her husband prayed for me then I also went to meet with the full gospel business men.

At their fellowship I met with them on Saturday for about six weeks I felt like I was all alone

No one understood what I was going through the devil made his presence known he made the ground.

Ground shake under my feet and would not let me sleep and I must say some time I could not tell if I

Was dreaming or wide awake I saw my self fighting a snake that I could see through

My wife said she came home one day and I was sleep she said I just sit up in the bed and pointed.

My finger at some think she could not see and began to speak in another language and when I finish I just laid back down unto this day I can not remember or recall it.

I almost for got that one night my wife was sleep I was laying beside her I felt something next to me I slowly turn my head and there was a figure.

This figure lying beside me I turn back around but it was still there.

Every time I turn back around it was still there I don’t know how long it stayed.

Doing this time look like the room was moving at great speed going down, a power set me up.

In bed one night and I began to spin around for awhile I keep saying I am not sleep this went on for awhile.

I began to ask the Lord what do this mean? why is this happening to me? I said I was

Trying to get closer to you Lord what have I done wrong I am sorry please forgive me.

Sometime at work my chair would feel alive sometime I would see what look like a demon spirit.

Sometime at home I saw it there I look in the mirror it would appear behind me I prayed many prayers.

Sometimes I would stayed at Denny restaurant, and ihop restaurant so I could be around people.

And not be alone, no one understood how I was feeling, one brother in Christ told me the Lord showed him I needed a friend.

Sometimes he would call or come by to check on me.

This experience lasted about thirteen months one day I recall I was not floating any more.

I was not seeing spirits any more yet I did not know why it happen I knew I would never be the

 Same until I get some answers I started reading many books.

 I hate to say this me and the pastor never had good communication until his death in 1994

Before he died I went to see him and I told him I was sorry if I had done anything he felt I had done to offend him.

Years later when I pray or think of the Lord I would feel a lot of heat come all over me get into my eyes

Here it is the year two thousand and two I just went on a three days and half fasted.

About Two day I was given great joy later the powerful electrify feeling grab me I began to.

Vibrate until I could not move myself free I don’t know what the Lord have in store for me.

A brother in Christ kept telling me to write my story I kept putting it off I told him people would not believe it happen and would think I was crazy.

He would not take no for an answer so I

Prayed about it I had forgot a lot of details but when I set down to write a lot came back to me.

Something’s I had forgotten came back to me and still I did not tell it all. In august 2001 I

Was playing basketball a young man came up to me in a group of guys playing ball and he ask me what church did I go to.

I thought it was strange, that he ask me this out of a group of ball players I told him and I ask him why he was asking me about what church that I was going to. And this is what he said.

That When I was standing up he saw a tall angel standing behind me I have never seen the young man since but I told him where I went to church and if he wanted to go I would pick him up.

I was down in my spirit when I had went to the ball park,because my mother had just pass away. At this time when I left the park I rejoiced in the Lord because he had Not forgotten me if you read this story it is true when you feel no one cares like I have felt many times please call on Jesus Christ.

He may not come when you want him to but he is always on time he will hold you and he will carry you.

This is a true story; my story, the story of Robert Minnick;

.

September 4, 2003 I had a dream I saw minister Benny Hinn he was at his church and his people was dancing and praising the Lord for awhile later I came and talk to him, after he wanted me to bring the message on his tv program.

On his Program I got up to speak on the great I AM I started talking about when Moses saw him, as I was talking pastor Hinn was talking like he was happy what I was saying as I started telling them what I came out of and what the Lord had done for me, pastor Hinn wife huge me and I fell under the power of God and I began to weep for a long time.

Later in my dream I saw bro.Credic Hill he was talking about leavening for Atlanta when he got his money after awhile he prayed for me he said the Lord was putting something in my life, I told him that had already happen to me in a dream Benny Hinny had prayed for me.

I would like to say as of the year 2004 I have peace in my heart, I have had bible studies in two homes, taught Sunday school for the youth for about ten months, as of now I have wrote about two hundred bible lesson the Holy Spirit game me from 2002 up to now.

I have worked in the Billy Graham crusade

I have still had some spiritual things happen.

I do remember at the beginning of Nov; 05 I felt like the Lord had given me a message to tell some one that I knew that was having trouble with his faith.

But I did not want do it because I knew that he was going thru a lot in his faith, I tried to tell the Lord about all the brother been thru like the Lord did not know.

So I did not obey  that day or that night, but very early the next mourning I was woke up out of sleep, and inside my spirit I was given the message again so I got up out of my bed went to my computer and wrote this person and when I had finish writing I got up went back to bed and soon as I close my eyes and I saw a light and the light began to form into a man in light he had long hair and a robe on I saw Him with out stretch hands for a only a few second then light shot from Him to me into my head for about forty minute the light kept vibrating.

I had great peace of mind, it was like the Lord was please with what I had done.

And to let you know it was the Lord, when I talk to the person he agree with everything that was said.

I pray whosoever read this story will be bless and help by what  has happen in my life.I was given this story for a reason now I hope and pray God will use it to set you free there is always hope if you will just believe.

       Love in Christ; Robert Minnick
