About Jim Westerfield
Jiim Westerfield is an Entrepreneur and Healing Evangelist with a passion to see people know Jesus and experience all the fruit of knowing Jesus. He has preached Revival and Healing Conferences and Crusades in America, South America, Romania and Africa. His ministry is rooted in loving Jesus and loving people through sharing the gospel of Jesus and demonstrating the living word through healing, miracles, deliverance, signs, and wonders.
Born in a family rooted in Catholicism, Jim had heard of how much God loves us and that God demonstrated His love by sending His own son, Jesus, to die on the cross for all our sins for those who follow and obey Jesus. But, Jim never really totally understood or received the Love of the Father at this stage of his life. The church and family upbringing did not believe in miracles, signs and wonders in today’s world.
Jim was married to the woman of his dreams at the age of 22 who was raised in a Baptist Church. He gave his life to Jesus at the age of 22 in a Baptist Church, but this church did not believe in modern day signs and wonders either. Yet, at the age of 25, Jim experienced the power of God in a miraculous way at a conference attended by over 10,000 people. One night, the speaker was sharing that “Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit”, and that there are things we could be doing to “Grieve the Holy Spirit”. When asked to pray to see what that might be in his life, he knew that smoking cigarettes that he had become addicted to and could not break the habit on his own was the very thing that was grieving the Holy Spirit. In fact, as he was praying, he got 2 visions: 1. God was on one side of a huge wall and Jim was on the other side and the word “Smoking” was written on the wall, and 2. He saw that the Holy Spirit was inside of him but could not see where he was because his body was so full of smoke! He then knew that this was the one thing that must cease in order to not grieve the Holy Spirit. But, he also knew he could not do it on his own because he had tried to quit many, many times, all unsuccessfully. So, he prayed to God and asked God to take it away from him. After praying, he felt like his body shook about 21 times violently. When the shaking stopped, he looked up to see if anyone saw him shaking and thankfully no one saw him. They were all praying with their heads bowed and their eyes closed. This was the strangest thing Jim ever experienced, so he told no one, not even his wife. Several days later, his wife asked him what was going on because he had the same pack of cigarettes in his pocket and had not smoked since that night! He told her what happened and they knew GOD had answered his and her prayer. He has never had an urge to smoke since! Praise GOD! This was the first of many, many miracles and Jim learned from that age on that he could TRUST GOD to do great and mighty things!
He and a friend built a computer business in Michigan and the Lord answered many, many prayers and performed many, many miracles over the 18 years of their business before Jim sold his share to his partner. God provided wisdom and guidance to help them build their business to be in the TOP 5% of it’s kind of business in the country. Two guys started the business, God built it, and all glory goes to God.
Jim donated the next 3 and ½ years as an Associate Pastor to his local church in Michigan before the Lord called he and his wife and eventually both children to live in SW Florida. At the time of this writing, Jim also has 6 grandchildren. And they really are grand! Jim became a Realtor and continues as a Realtor today. But, his passion is to bring Revival, and knows that the Lord has used him to usher in signs and wonders through Miracles, Deliverance, and Healings through his ministry.
Jim does not take credit for any of the signs and wonders himself. He knows that he can do nothing without the Lord Jesus! ( John 15:5) But, he also knows that he can do all things through Christ (Phil. 4:13) He grew in his understanding over the years and now KNOWS beyond a shadow of doubt that the Lord has anointed him to do even greater things than even Jesus did. (John 14:12) We all have the same calling to do even greater things than Jesus did, but the enemy has deceived many into thinking that the Lord is either mad at them, can’t use them because of their past, or believe that miracles, signs and wonders have passed because they do not see them happening on a day to day basis. So, their faith has been undermined by the enemy based on their own failings, feelings and experiences – not based on what Jesus said. I want to encourage you, that if you have read this much, to take Jesus at HIS WORD like I did and do what Jesus did and even greater things than Jesus did. I believe Jesus is waiting on you too to actually obey in faith. Will you join me?
