Prophetic Words

If you are unfamiliar with the gift of prophecy, don’t worry, so was I. But, as I have been exposed to this tremendous gift the Lord gives and uses to help encourage and guide His people, I have come to appreciate this gift so much! This gift is used so we can HEAR FROM THE LORD HIMSELF! The Bible says “for we know in part and prophesy in part”, That means that I am not likely hearing everything God wants to tell me. And as far as I am concerned, I would love to hear from God the things that I have not heard before!

In the Old Testament, God spoke through prophets to have His people hear Him. I am not using this time to teach on this gift, but just to share a couple of Scriptures regarding this gift.

Deuteronomy 18:18 ESV
I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.

In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit gave the gift of Prophecy as one of the five fold ministry gifts:

Ephesians 4:11 ESV
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

Debbie and I have had many prophetic words spoken to us over the years, but here are some of the more applicable prophetic words:

2001

Debbie and I were at a Healing Conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A woman prophesied over us and said, “I see you moving to the southernmost state in the United States.  The LORD is going to use you in ushering in a revival …. 

Little did she know that we had just purchased a home in Bonita Springs, FL (in the far southwest Florida near Naples, FL) and were planning to move there the following year!  Little did she know (and neither did Debbie or I know) that Debbie and I were going to be teaching Healing Conferences in churches all around SW Florida in the years to come.

2006

Debbie and I attended a local church in Bonita Springs, FL. I was an Elder in the church. They had a prophetic night where men who were known to walk in a strong prophetic anointing came to minister in our church.  They were given names of the people they were to prophecy over but had never met any of the people they were to prophecy over. They were actually from different states around the country. When Debbie and I were called up, they said “When I was praying for you, all I saw was Isaiah 61.  You have an Isaiah 61 anointing, you have a heart for all people regardless of their race, income, or  financial status.  You can speak to people who have a lot of wealth and you can speak to people who live in poverty, yet you LOVE each of them the same!  That is unique.  I see that God is going to use you in the local area, but I also see you being used of the Lord internationally.  You have a unique set of gifts:  I see that you are a businessman capable of navigating the business environment with wisdom, but I also see that you have a huge heart for the lost, for those oppressed by the devil, and for those needing healing.  The Lord is using you to fulfill Isaiah 61 wherever you go.”

2007

An architect friend of mine who I had not seen for over a year called me one morning and said he needed to see me right away. I had time till my first appointment and had him come to my office.  He said that when he was praying, all he could see was my face.  He knew he needed to pray for me.  So, when he came up, he told me not to say anything, that he just wanted to hear from the Lord and speak into my life.  He proceeded to prophecy for about 45 minutes.  It was amazing!  He said I would be going to many, many places both nationally and internationally  and everywhere I went to preach, God was doing  mighty signs and wonders.  On Tuesday night, a friend called me and said he was praying and all he could see was my face when praying.  He said that I was going to be used of the Lord soon for mighty works of the Lord.  Then, on Wednesday night, another friend called me and said as he was praying, all he could see was my face!  He said the only word he had for me was “YES”!  He said he was sorry he could not tell me more, but that the answer was “YES”.  I had no idea what all this was about or how any of this could happen. The amazing thing is that none of these 3 friends knew each other!   The next morning, I got a call from a Pastor who lived close to Cleveland.  He shared with me that he is scheduled to go to Uganda to preach in 2 cities in Revival Conferences in a few months and the pastor who was supposed to go with him cancelled as of that morning.  My pastor friend said that as he and his wife were praying who to ask, all he and his wife could see was – you guessed it – my face!  They knew the Lord wanted them to invite me to go with him, so they called and asked.  What could I say?  I knew this was from the Lord, so I said “YES”, and then asked the details. The Revival Crusades were held  in Mbarara and Masaka, Uganda, where there were about 300 pastors from each of the regions who came, many who had walked to get there for several days!  There was a line of about 100 pastors every night after preaching of pastors who wanted to share how the Lord healed them, set them free, and did a miracle in their lives that day!  In fact, the wife of one of the lead pastors came up to me to Thank me for coming  because she now understood the Spirit, Body, and Soul connection and teaching on deliverance.

2008

I was conducting a Healing Conference in a local church. One of the highly respected “Fathers of the Church” came up to me after the 3 day conference and asked me this question: “Jim, do you know what you are doing?”  I answered, “Probably not, please tell me what you see”.  He said that as the conference was going on, he saw a vision of a tornado starting in this church.  The tornado was revival coming to this church.  He then said that he saw this was going to happen in many churches, and other organizations, and that everywhere I presented the Healing Conference, a revival was starting.  He said he saw that a tornado was starting in every one of those churches and soon the tornado’s joined their forces together and the whole state was covered in a massive tornado.  A force unstoppable, spreading the news of Jesus Christ, and it then spread to many states!

2010

I was asked to join a Hispanic Pastor friend to go to Bogata, Columbia to preach in Revival Meetings there for a week. People were getting saved, healed, and delivered everywhere we preached. 

Many times throughout the years, the Lord used me to heal many, many people.

2022

It was July of 2022, I was praying one morning and I asked the Lord if there was anything else he wanted me to do?  I am getting older, and even though I am in good health still, was HE done with me?  In September of 2022, Debbie and I attended a Revival Conference in Pensacola, FL.  At that conference, which had about 11,000 people come, Daniel Kolenda, who hosted this conference and is the Pastor of a church in Orlando, FL and is also the President and CEO of Christ for all Nations, Reinhard Bonnke’s Ministry, offered an opportunity for a ‘Prophetic ministry with his team the following morning.  We signed up and went the following morning to two people who did not know us at all.  When we walked up, they said “You are a Pastor, aren’t you?”  I confirmed that yes, I had been a pastor in a couple of churches in the past.  They said, “Let’s pray and see what the Lord has to say.”  As they prayed, the one said “You have been sitting on the sidelines for a while!  The Lord is telling you that HE NEEDS YOU AND HE NEEDS YOU NOW!”  Personally, I had no idea what the Lord had in mind.  She then said “This is the most unique ministry I have seen and it is a crucial ministry!  I see that you are preaching behind a pulpit, but not just one pulpit, it is from pulpit to pulpit to pulpit!  When you speak, it is like an AK-47 rifle being shot, and the bullets are piercing hearts and changing lives!  You are not afraid to speak the truth, and the truth is setting the captives free.  WHOA, YOU are the glove on the hands of Jesus!”  I asked her to tell me what that meant?  She said, “You are the glove on the hands of Jesus! Jesus is with you everywhere you go and you will see the miracles, the healings, the deliverance that JESUS did and will do through you!”  Then the guy that was prophesying said this, “It is like you guys are young missionaries going to Africa.” 

To me, I saw NO WAY that this was going to happen as I had no contacts in Africa anymore.  So, I told the Lord that if HE wanted me to go to Africa, HE was going to need to arrange it.  Then, in November of 2022, I was praying and I felt the Lord tell me that this weekend we were to go to Daniel Kolenda’s church in Orlando.  I told Debbie, and she asked me “Did you get the email from Daniel Kolenda’s ministry about a special Impartation Breakfast this coming Saturday.”  I told her I had not seen it but to sign us up.  We went and Daniel introduced a Bishop from Uganda that Daniel wanted to do national evangelism crusades with, as this Bishop was in charge of nearly 1,600 Evangelical Pentecostal Churches in Africa.  I was not able to meet him that day, but I met him on Sunday at the church service.  As soon as I met him, he said “YOU, YOU need to come to UGANDA!!!!!”  He said it so emphatically, so boldly, so authoritatively, I told him that we can discuss that.  We exchanged phone numbers.  Then, I remembered the prophetic word when Debbie and I went to Pensacola!

2023

The Bishop planned the entire 2.5 weeks I was going to be in Uganda. He never asked me what I was going to preach on but the Lord had me prepare messages on Evangelism, Healing, Miracles and Deliverance.  In the meantime, the Bishop was promoting me as an Evangelist from the United States conducting Miracles and Healing Crusades.  WOW, only GOD can coordinate all of this!  It included 2 major Crusades and conferences in various cities throughout Uganda. 

The first city we ministered in was Busea and pastors from the region and people from the church attended.  I preached and then ministered and prayed for maybe 100 people.  The next morning, I asked for testimonies of the people who were healed the night before.  Nearly 100 people shared how God HEALED them.  The testimonies were amazing!

On the 4th day, I was asked to go to a school to preach to 300 children.  As I sat there seeing the faces of these beautiful Ugandan children, I gave an evangelistic message, and at the end gave an offer of salvation.  EVERY child stood up to receive Jesus!  The Bishop told me afterward that there have been many people who have spoken to these kids, but he had never seen what he just experienced!  He was blown away that ALL 300 children received Jesus as their personal Savior!

After 4 days of ministering in various cities, I remembered the Prophetic Word that I was the glove on the hands of Jesus.  JESUS was healing the sick, and just using me to be HIS GLOVE!

I then preached in two crusades and various cities throughout Uganda and everywhere I went, people were saved, miracles occurred, healings occurred, and the demons were cast out – all in the NAME OF JESUS and by the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! I have to share this testimony of a woman who was carried forward and placed in the dirt in front of the stage.  This was MIRACLE NIGHT and she came forward for her miracle.  She had never walked in all her life as she was paralyzed from the waist down since birth.  When I prayed for her, she shrieked, and the interpreter said it was the first time in her life that she felt her legs!  I told her to get up and walk, and she DID!  The whole crowd started to praise Jesus!  I later discovered this woman was a Muslim who gave her life to Jesus and brought her whole family to the church the next Sunday.

There were so many other testimonies that I wish I had time to share them all with you!

It was toward the end of the 2.5 weeks, and the Bishop asked me to come to his church for a special Healing Meeting.  He invited anyone who needed healed to come to this meeting.  I was invited to go into his office and they set up 3 chairs: one for me, one for the interpreter, and one for the person needing healed.  There were nearly 50 people who came in for prayer and every one walked out knowing and experiencing the healing power of Jesus and every one walked out of the room praising Jesus for being healed!

The next day, while the Bishop was driving me to the airport, we stopped by a woman’s home who had planned to come the day before to the Healing Meeting.  She was accidentally thrown off the motorcycle and landed on her back.  She had shooting pain going up and down her spine into her head, her legs were all banged up and her ankles were swollen and cut severely.  After I prayed for her, ALL PAIN was gone and she got up out of her chair to prepare some fruit for the Bishop and myself.  Jesus healed her and she was praising HIM!

2024

Bishop Nsamba asked me to come back, this time for 3 weeks. Again, we were doing 2 major Crusades and every day I would minister in various cities where pastors and leaders from the region would come.  My goal was not only be used to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, but also minister healing, deliverance, and miracles.  My mission was to not to preach with wise and persuasive words, but but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power(like Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4) so that the pastors would then go and do the same in their churches and regions. Again, hundreds and hundreds were saved, and hundreds and hundreds received the miracle working power of Jesus as prophesied in Isaiah 61.

2025

Bishop Nsamba came to the United States to preach at an International Conference and various churches, but also to spend a week with us and share what has been happening in Uganda since the Miracle and Healing Crusades and Conferences. He said that the Pastors and Leaders and all those who attended received the impartation that I shared with them and they were going into their areas of Uganda and doing the same!  They have been revived, are spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and many are being saved, healed, delivered, and seeing miracles occur!  Praise JESUS!!!

2026

Bishop Nsamba asked me to come back in 2026 for two reasons:

Two weeks of Crusades, this time even larger than the previous Crusades. He said when I first came, the pastors did not know who I was or what my messages would be.  Now, the pastors know the impact of this ministry and are all getting behind it!  This will be at the end of July, 2026.  In fact, the pastor of the largest church in Uganda had a dream that I was preaching and that major strongholds in certain religions were being shattered!

Bishop invited me to be one of two keynote speakers at their National Conference. He said that there would be 800 to 1,000 pastors coming to the conference, and if they can catch what the other pastors have caught, it can change all of Uganda for Jesus.

I am SO HONORED!  What is JESUS going to do?  REVIVAL!!!!
