A girl named Kathlene came to my bible study.  I didn't look her way, because she was with another guy.  Well, she got saved that night on the way home.  The next week she came to the bible study alone.  Now I was looking her way.  She was so beautiful!  I walked over to her and asked her if she would like to go out and get some coffee afterwards. She said, she didn't drink coffee.  I thought she was turning me down.  I started to walk away, when she said, “But I like hot chocolate.”  We began to date.  We got married the next year.  This whole time I'm having the bible study, I’m still acting in the movies.  I landed a small part in a horror movie.  Here, I am doing a horror movie during the day and a bible study at night.  Making a movie in Hollywood is actually boring.   People think that it is exciting.  No, maybe walking down the red carpet when they finally have the movie done.  But, when you're doing a movie you sit around and do nothing for hours while they setup cameras, lights, etc., so you have a lot of idol time with idol hands. I sat around a lot during this horror movie. They have advisors to movies.  Advisors to a horror movie are real warlocks, witches, and people of the occult and they were with us in the same sound stage.  A warlock came in wearing a pentagram around his neck and he was laying hands on people.  They were falling down by the counterfeit power of Satan. I was getting mad, because I knew that it wasn't the power of God.  So, I heard a small voice in me say, "go down and let him lay his hands on you."  I said, “Get thee behind me Satan!" Then I heard the small voice say, “Who is greater?  He who is within you or he who is in the world.” I knew it was the Lord's voice.  The Lord said to me, “Go down there, I'm going to do something.” So, I said alright.  I walked down to where he was and stood in front of him.  There were all these actors and workers sitting there and they knew my testimony, because I wasn't quiet about it.  So they were kind of wondering what I was doing up there.  On the outside I was just standing there, but on the inside I was speaking in tongues!  He came over and lifted his hand and was about two feet away from me.  When he looked at me he screamed and ran out of the sound stage.  Later on, someone told me the warlock said, “His hand was on fire.”  I witnessed to a lot of people in the sound stage that day and a lot of them got saved. You know, the power of God is real. All books and even a Bible without the power is just another book.
   With the power of God the bible comes alive, Praise God!  While doing the horror movie the Lord came to me a third time and he said to me, “I did not call you to Hollywood." I knew in my spirit this was the last time He was going to come to me.  I said to Him, “Lord, I don't know Your word, You've seen my bible study and that shows, I don't know Your word."  The Lord said to me something very, very wise, “Go learn my Word.” I went home that day and told my wife, “We’re going to bible school.” She said, “I know, the Lord has been dealing with me that we're supposed to go to bible school.”  But, we didn't know where to go.  We didn't know anything about bible schools.  We were attending a bible study at the time and I went to the leader of it and asked, “Do you know of any bible schools?" He said, “Well, I only know of one because my son lives in the town, and it's out in Arkansas."  Now, I had never been to Arkansas.  I grew up in California.  Arkansas seemed like somewhere on another planet.  He said there is a Christian university there in Arkansas and his son worked in the town for the Dayspring Christian greeting card headquarters, and he said, "I can get you a job there if you want to go there."
   Well, I liked the idea there would be a job for us and I can go to school.  So, we sold our sports car and bought a truck.  We packed up everything we had and put it in the back of the truck.  We obeyed God and moved to Arkansas.  We were pulling into town on one of the side streets, where people are out on their lawns and they were waving at us.   I thought, oh my goodness they must have seen some of my movies.  We had never seen friendly people like that before.  I enrolled into the university.  We didn't know that it was Baptist.  We just knew someone said it was a bible school.   Kathlene became the secretary for the president of Dayspring Greeting cards.  I started to study in the bible department at the school.  The student government wanted a senator from the bible department, so I ran for senator.  I won the position!   Later, I found out no one else wanted the job.  Well, the students seemed more interested in having parties.  They were living more like the world than living for Jesus.  I was sold out to Jesus and I wanted to learn His word. So, as the senator to the Bible department I decided that we needed to have revival on campus. I asked all the Christians on the campus to come together for an all school prayer meeting and the TWO of us prayed. The guy that came and prayed with me was very excited about Jesus.  He was hopping and skipping and lifting up his hands and I said, “What church do you go to?  He said, "I just moved here."  I then asked, “Where did you come from?” He said, “I'm from Dallas, Texas.” He said, he just transferred from Christ for the Nations Bible School.  I wanted what he had, so I went to my wife that night and said we were moving.  She said, she had a dream the night before that we were moving.  Wow!  I praise God that He dealt with her first. So we were packing up our stuff and we were moving to Dallas, Texas.  We were at the Baptist Bible College for two semesters and as soon as that semester ended, we left and went down to Christ for the Nations.  At CFNI we got fired up in the things of God.  I’ll never forget when we walked into CFNI, everyone was lifting their hands in the student assembly and I said, “I’m home.”  While I was there I was introduced to Kenneth Copeland Ministries and he began to have a great influence on my life. I eventually went to work for him.
   God began to deal with me about the healing ministry.  I’ll never forget one day there at Christ for the Nations after a meeting, a girl came forward on crutches and her legs were crippled.  Her legs were twisted up, and every toe was growing into another. As she came forward, I was thinking, I wonder if she is coming forward for a headache.  You would have hoped the same thing.  She came forward and I said, “What do you need” and she said, “My legs.”  I said, “Well, Praise God, Hallelujah!”  I began to pray for her.  She fell down under the power of God and I laid my hands on her feet.  I prayed and prayed.  I prayed everything I knew.  I prayed petition, supplication, intercession, (irrigation) whatever I could come up with, I prayed it.  I got up and her legs were just as twisted and her toes were growing into each other.   I said, “Well, praise the Lord” and I began to walk away.  Well, the Lord had been teaching me about faith through Brother Copeland.
