Hi Everbody from Reverend Cleman Simpson in the East Texas Pineywoods

Hi everyone. My name is Cleman Simspon and I am an ordained minister of the Christian Faith, non-denominational evangelical. In 2006 I was just another beer drinking rowdy biker when suddenly everything went crazy. It took me a while to understand what was happening but then it became Crystal Clear. The Lord had showed up and was putting me through the discipleship of The Holy Spirit.

I went through those oftimes afflictions, spoiling and confiscation of my property, and being made a spectacle of in front of friends and family. It was in short both bizzare and terrifying and lasted for about an entire year. By the end of 2006 I had lost nearly everything I owned, my health was wrecked, my friends had deserted me, and my girlfriend walked out saying she couldn't stay in my house any longer because it was haunted. And then I died. I fell over dead in the bathroom of my home and lay dead in the floor so long that rigor mortise set in. But The Lord revived me after hours of death.

About a week or two after I died I was laying on the couch reading my bible and praying when suddenly I saw a ring of light, similar to a smoke ring, come right down through the ceiling of the living room. It slowly descended towards me and another came right throught the roof behind it, then another and another, seven in all stcked a few inches apart vertically. I just froze and lay on my back with that open Bible in my hands as they descened towards my face. One after another all seven of them entered into my forehead. I was sealed by God.

Now I am a witness of Jesus Christ, and I preach where-ever and whenever I can. My Girlfriend Debra is now my wife and my fellowservant. We were married to each other and to The Lord Jesus in a public ceremony and to our amazement He went with us on our honeymoon, a harley trip to the Ozarks, and performed a miracle or sign every day of that trip. On the third day of that honeymoon we were at the passion play in eureka springs, Arkansas and I bought a 1611 King james Bible. On our third wedding anniversary my paycheck was 1611 dollars exactly. I carry that Bible and paystub with me now always to use when I witness to people.

On the last day of our honeymoon two doves came down out of the sky on us and one landed directly on my wedding ring, the other on Debras head. We have been witness to many miracles and look forward to sharing them here with you all, and to read your own stories of what The Lord is doing in your lives. Building each other up in the faith as we see the day approaching. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hi Clleman and welcome to CF.net. I've got to admit I haven't experienced your same testimony, but I can guarantee God has done a work in me. I reckon God has raised me fro among dead ones as we read in Ephesians 2:1. "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;" and Ephesians 2:5,"Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)"

I hope you are blessed here to glorify our Lord in all that is said and done, and that we share fellowship conducive to our joint good in the precious name of Jesus. :wave

Very interesting Mr. Simpson. The Lord do work in mysterious ways? Glad to meet ya!:)
 
Hi Eugene and thanks for the welcome. LOL, I didn't realize how unique my introduction to The Lord Jesus was until I began to witness. Both Debra and myself are now extemely humbled by what we have seen and experienced over these last seven years. And it went down just exaclty as Jesus said in the Bible, "you didn't choose me, I chose you." When I died the old me never got back up off that floor. I still have the memories of that old life, but I am a completely different man now.

Welcome to CF.net.

What part of East Texas you from?

You ever heard of Grapeland?

JLB
 
Hi JLB , nice to meet you. We live near Longview, Tx. outside a small town named Tatum. I think I've passed through Grapeland once or twice in my travels over the years, it's up near Dallas- FT. worth isn't it? . I work oilfield and travel quite a bit. Just got back from North Dakota. I did some preaching and witnessing after being invited over at Ennis and at Gun Barrell City.
 
Hi Mizzy, thanks for the welcome and I'm glad to be here. I used to post on Reverend Susan O'Maras' "In the image of His Glory" forum but she got so busy travelling and witnessing that she closed the forum down due to lack of time to maintain it. She still has a blog though and we are good friends. She did my ordination ceremony in Ft. Smith Arkansas some years ago. My brotherhood of preachers only ordains people who can show proof of signs following. At last count there are only about five of us in the United States.

Five in your botherhood? Or five with "signs following"?
 
Good morning George, hope your weekend is off to a good start. I hold actually a double ordination, though I was first ordained by The Lord Himself which I guess makes it a triple ordination. My certificates of ordination are from Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Ministries, and from Salvation of God Ministries. Lighthouse Ministries is based out of the Pacific Northwest and requires proof of signs following, which the Lord graciously provided to Debra and I in great abundance. Salvation of God Ministries is headed by Susan and Patric O'Mara out of Rochester New York. Susan is also Ordained by Lighthouse Ministries but merged her ministry with her husband Patrics' after they were married and now she operates mostly under the heading of Salvation of God Ministries. In our own case, as in Susan and Patrics', The Lord called Debra and I as a couple and in each case we were not yet married to our called partners.

In the United States I am personally aware of only five people who have requested ordination through Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Ministries and were able to provide documentablle proof of signs following their witness. There may be more but I have no personal knowledge of them. I do know that we have international members who are located in Europe and Australia, though I suspect that as in our case here in the U.S. they are few in number and widely dispersed geographically. No doubt there are many more Ministers in The U.S. who have "signs following" provided by The Lord but they are not members of our particular brotherhood.

Of those who hold our like ordination none of us is anything special. We are all just normal working class people who were leading normal lives until The Lord showed up and called us into service. I still work for a living and preach at invitation at whatever Church, reguardless of denomination, that has invited me. I have spoken at Catholic, Benedictine, Jesuit, Baptist, Assembly of God, Pentecost, Home Churches and Prayer groups. Most of my witnessing is done one on one or in small groups in my day to day work in the oilfields of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and of late North Dakota. The Lord has thus far used me more as the "voice of one crying in the wilderness" than as a day to day Church House Preacher. I didn't understand that for a long time but I finally came to realize that I was more valuable to Him preaching to unbelievers and agnostic sinners than preaching to the choir so to speak.

I realize that my opening statements on this forum are far out of the norm, but there really isn't any way to ease into the Testimony which The Lord endowed us with. We are unique, and that not of ourselvess, but of God. This is still a work in progresss and to this day The Lord continues to do miracles and signs on a regular basis to confirm us as legitimate servants of The Lord Jesus Christ, though why He would choose some country bumpkin such as myself to do so is a continual mystery to me.

Thank you for taking the time to explain.
 
This world is not my home I'm just a passing through
My treasures and my hopes are all beyond the blue
Where many friends and kindred have gone on before
And I cant feel at home in this world anymore
Over in glory land there is no dying there
The saints are shouting victory there's singing everywhere
I hear the voice of them that I have heard before
And I cant feel at home in this world anymore
Oh lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home oh lord what would I do
Angel's beckon me to heaven's open door
And I cant feel at home in this world anymore
Heaven's expecting me that's one I know
I fixed it up with Jesus a long time ago
He will take me through though I am weak and poor
And I cant feel at home in this world anymore
Oh I have a loving mother over in glory land
I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand
She's gone on before just waiting at heaven's door
And I cant feel at home in this world anymore

thanks for all the welcomes, i posted the lyrics to that old hymn cause it's just exactly the way I feel today. God bless you all.

Great old song, sung by Jim Reeves, years ago, right? :)
 
Hi Farouk. yep, Jim Reeves among others. Jim Reeves was from here, about fifteen miles from us as the crow flies and was killed in an airplane crash about that same distance away. our next door neighbors have a music studio and every Friday and ?Saturday night folks gather up over there for bluegrass and old fasdshioned gospel music played by whoever shows up and has the guts to play, LOL. Just good country folks worshipping the Lord. They play that song pretty often and it is one of my favorites.

Debra and I been out in the yard playing with our goats, Bluebell and May May. We got them for a petting zoo we built for our grandkids and the neighborhood kids. They are spoilt rotttttttten, (the kids and the goats) LOL. They are pygmy goats about a foot and a half tall and lots of fun!!!! Was gonna get a wallabee kangaroo too but they ended up costing too much for now.
