I was born from parents born in Russia; they came to America in 1907, got married in South Dakota, and became part of the Homestead Act, with a total of fifteen sons and daughters. By the time I left home at the age of seventeen years old, the homestead cows and sheep ranch were approximately five thousand acres or more. And as I was growing up, my father read the Bible almost every morning, for Jesus became very real to me; I remembered a man who looked at me: I definitely knew it was Jesus. At nine years old, I began to experience the Holy Spirit's presence, and then at eleven years old, Jesus filled me with His Holy Spirit; that is, when I began to speak in an unknown language: and there, I have never been the same since.As I got involved in many different and various churches, I was not satisfied, for I knew Jesus wanted us as Christians to be more intimate with the commission; for then, I did not realize of Jesus' goal. And as for our achievement, as to reaching the world with the Gospel of salvation, of having one of the fivefold ministries being involved called an evangelist. So, when I was in my thirties, I had a dream one night; a giant Bible was brought before me, and the pages flipped open to the Old Testament book, as to the Prophet Jeremiah, Before I [Jesus] formed thee in the belly I [Jesus] knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I [Jesus] sanctified [a believer, which is consecrated to Jesus; that is, set apart to sacred duties or uses of ministry] thee, and I [Jesus] ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1:5And there, my life has never been again the same.
