years ago before knowing the faith walk, was the bass player for my church. it was a huge testimony going from a career as a rock musician to a servant for Jesus. The music there was holiness and I liked that. In those years played in a church band going to a halfway house in Ft. Lauderdale. That was a different band.
One day while playing Sunday service a Afro man asked if I would play in his band. He also was a holiness minister. He liked my bass playing and would join me to 6 other members. His past was a Jazz guitarist, and he was a pro. He was a former member of the mighty clouds of joy. We had-- Him, keyboard, trumpet, sax, drums, backup guitar and then my bass. We did a lot of Fla. roadwork.
Here is what he would announce. He would say each member and there instrument. Then he would say and David (my name ) live and in living color. All the people would laugh as it was funny and not at me. Why?--because everywhere we went I was the only white person in the house. I ministered to possibly thousands of black Christians with my bass.
One incident in the halfway house band. Some time later would make our music and share simple gospel to them. At one meeting while on the area with the people, I walked up to a man and shared the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. He had said he was saved. He was visible as a foreigner. Also a deep accent. He knew English a little. He received the baptism and I demonstrated tongues for his understanding. He began to weep in a strong way. Then he told me. He said I know what you are saying. It must have been personal as he didn't tell me. He did say that I was speaking in his Arab tongue. What is real strange is my research showed me I was speaking in Greek and Hebrew and Arabic. In one sentence. Those words brought deep tears to his eyes. That also confirmed his Baptism as he spoke in tongues also. Hope you enjoyed this testimony of God and his greatness.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
